Luo Heng walked out of the cave and found that Huo Duo was already waiting outside, Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry. ”

"I can understand, friend. Hodo said with a shrug.

Huo Duo took Luo Heng to the end of the valley, and at the end of the valley was the cave where things were stored, and Luo Heng even saw some creatures similar to cattle and sheep being locked in the cave, as well as forage.

"This is the bighorn goat's mount, the highest alpine mount, and even the giant wolf can't catch up with the steep mountains. Hodo pointed to a goat in a cave and said, this goat is very large, like a cow, and its two horns are slightly curved, and as long as you bow your head, the horns will face forward, like two short swords.

Luo Heng looked very hot, Luo Heng knew that some goats could come and go freely on the cliffs, Luo Heng opened his mouth and asked, "What were those last night?"

"Monsters and half-orcs, kobold shamans and rat-headed people. Hodo spoke.

"There are many?" Luo Heng continued to ask.

"Many, in the whole mountain range, I don't know how many, these monsters are useless, rotting in the ground, grass will not grow, and the flesh is very smelly, there is no way to eat it, that is, the beasts will eat these monsters unless they are hungry to death. Hodo said with a shrug.

"This is the forging place we prepared for you, what is missing?" Huo Duo led Luo Heng to a cave.

Luo Heng looked at these bows, long swords, spears and so on, all of which were smaller in size than those used by humans.

"This is?" When Luo Heng saw a giant crossbow at the end of the cave, this giant crossbow seemed to be made from the horns of a creature, but it was covered with dust.

"This is a war crossbow, but the bowstring is damaged, and it costs three thousand gold coins to buy such a bowstring in the Mage's Guild, and we don't have enough money. Hodo looked at this giant crossbow and felt very sorry.

"Then you can equip military heavy crossbows. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, Luo Heng watched the attack of those kobolds last night, and the distance was very close, and he was almost in a siege battle.

"A crossbow bolt with a military heavy crossbow is worth more than a hundred gold, and we have more than five hundred warriors ...... on our side. Hodo spoke.

When Luo Heng heard this, he asked, "Then what is the farthest attack distance of the kobold?"

"Thirty yards, not bad, they'll use some throwing weapons like wooden throwing guns. Hodo spoke.

"Actually, it's very easy to make a crossbow. "Luo Heng is right, except for the bowstring, the others can be completely replaced by wood, of course, it is best to use metal to make a crossbow arm, even the cost of such a crossbow is very low.

At most, the groove of the crossbow arrow is made into metal, as well as the trigger, as for the bowstring, it is relatively simple, with a thin copper wire twisted into a strand, if there is a beast tendon added, it is even more wonderful, although the durability of the copper wire is not good, but the copper wire can be melted and continued to be used, at most it is a cost of reprocessing.

"Simple?" Hodo was a little speechless.

"But that's too expensive. Hodo shook his head and said.

"It's just that the key parts are made of metal, and then the rest is made of wood, and the cost will not exceed five silver coins. "Luo Heng doesn't have a good impression of those monsters, and it's good to be able to increase the strength of these gnomes guarding here.

"Five silver coins?Cheney, you're not kidding?" Hodo almost jumped.

"Yes, even the use of metal arrows can be used repeatedly, it's actually very simple, if you need it. Luo Heng said.

"So...... Cost?" Huo Duo looked up at Luo Heng and asked.

"I'm going to rest here for two days, I need some wood, and then I need two helpers, you can look at the samples first. Luo Heng said.

"Okay, I'll call someone right away. When Hodo heard this, he could hardly believe his ears, and immediately went to find someone.

Luo Heng looked at the cave and shook his head, the cave was not very ventilated, and it was not suitable for forging.

And the key components are made of a kind of metal, of course, there is a more complex spring-type crossbow, but the spring has relatively high requirements for metal, and these dwarfs are obviously impossible to learn in a short time, smelting is also a technology, not to mention that Luo Heng has no intention of imparting it, because of that kind of spring-type crossbow, in terms of carrying, Luo Heng does not want to be attacked with this kind of crossbow.

Soon two dwarfs were brought over, in fact, Luo Heng saw that these dwarfs were acceptable, of course, compared to humans with an average of about two meters and a half, it was indeed a dwarf.

Even Luo Heng's height of 1.8 meters is considered a dwarf.

"This is Hatay, this is Val. Hodo opened his mouth and introduced.

"Master Cheney. The two gnomes were very clever and spoke.

"It's good, I need something, and we're trying to light the stove today. Luo Heng said.

The first thing is to choose a place, Luo Heng chose a cliff below, where some sundries were originally piled up, which were cleaned up by Huo Duo, and then a forging furnace was built, Luo Heng directly built a simple furnace on the ground, and used the ashes after burning, added salt, and added some yellow mud to make a hearth.

Then make a blower, but it is a wooden blower, Luo Heng made the blower while directing the construction of the furnace.

"This can't be a liar, right?"

"Like, how is it possible to forge something?"

"Captain, this dwarf is going to dig a hole in the ground, and that's it?"

The surrounding unguarded gnomes watched the excitement in the snow.

When Luo Heng heard these words, he didn't say anything, Huo Duo was also a little suspicious, it was really Luo Heng who made it too simple.

Luo Heng rummaged through the original crucible, the crucible itself was not large, but the key parts of the casting crossbow were enough.

At noon, Luo Heng returned to the cave to untie the orc captive and ate something, maybe it was the voice of the outer dwarf, this orc captive didn't dare not eat, but his eyes were red.

Luo Heng has nothing to regret in his heart, although it is uncomfortable to look at, but the enemy is the enemy, and the prisoner is the prisoner.

In the afternoon, after the wood blower was completed, Luo Heng even directly blocked the gap with softened mud in the gap of the blower, and there were even fewer gnomes around.

"Master?" Hatai was also busy for most of the day, looking at the blower that was ready, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Light the fire. Luo Heng said.

When the blower creaked and flames erupted from the hearth, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Heng took out the magic furnace again, there is no way, I have to make a mold.

The simplest is the clay mold, Luo Heng decided to use the pouring method.

After the magic furnace was taken out, the eyes of the two Hatai widened, this is a legendary magic item.

Luo Heng used the grooves needed to make the crossbow, then the trigger, and other key components, of course, the crossbow arm must be built, but relatively speaking, the crossbow arm forging is simpler.

On the vice, Hatai is using a grinding rod to polish the poured parts of the master book.

"Not bad. Luo Heng exclaimed while watching the iron in the crucible slowly melt.

As long as there is a mother mold, it is very convenient to pour, and Luo Heng continued to let Hasen polish the poured parts, and Luo Heng asked Hasen to replace the grinding rod with rough rocks and delicate rocks, and the grinding rods are alchemical items, but this kind of crossbow does not need to be very fine.

Forging a steel plate that is full of elasticity, Luo Heng has no confidence, mainly because the materials here are too simple, and Luo Heng finally found a horn.

Then take out the alchemy tools and cut them slowly, one horn can cut the material of five or six crossbow arms.

Material cutting, grinding, it was already dark at this time, Luo Heng didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and there were no dwarfs to see the excitement, because there was no sound of beating, this winter, who wants to blow the wind outside.

Luo Heng found another piece of hardwood, and then drew a line, asking Val to make this wood into the materials needed for the crossbow.

Vaal scrapped two pieces of wood to make the first one, though it looked a little rough.

Luo Heng picked up the parts that Hasen had polished, and then assembled them, Luo Heng used a small hammer to fix the trigger and groove on the hardwood handle that had been made, and then fixed the horns.

"Alright, let's get here today. Luo Heng found that there were still many things, bowstrings, arrows, etc., which had not yet been done, so he spoke.

Of course, Hassan and Val had no objections, but when Hassan and Val returned to their quarters, the other gnomes shouted, "Two clever ghosts, is the crossbow ready?"
