CHAPTER XLIX
Why do you want to do a job that most people don't want to do? In fact, Zhang Yang's choice also has some deep meanings, firstly, it can temper the body to help the growth of fighting spirit, secondly, it can train Nierjielina's combat ability, and thirdly, it can also earn some extra money, right? As for the danger, in Zhang Yang's opinion, how many places are not dangerous in Odado at this time? So instead of being unprepared for danger, it is better to take the initiative to challenge it, at least so that you can be more prepared.
Therefore, before the mission, Zhang Yang and Nierjielina went to a blacksmith shop called the Ringing Furnace. According to Dubins, there are some of the best blacksmiths in all of Balksus, and you'll find your best friend.
With some anticipation, Zhang Yang and the others finally found this place under an old oak tree in the west of the city. I saw that this blacksmith shop looked actually black, and there was a thick layer of smoky traces on the signboard at the door, which was far worse than the clean and atmospheric blacksmith shop opposite the mercenary union.
"My lord, is this really the case? It's a little unreliable. ”
The first time she saw this place, Nilgerina's heart began to feel bottomless.
"Let's see."
Zhang Yang said casually that he was still willing to believe the words of the old Dubins, who had lived in Balksus for decades. There must be something extraordinary about this blacksmith's shop. Thinking like this, Zhang Yang had already taken the lead and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a row of weapon racks in the room, on which were messily placed some long swords, battle axes and spears, and even a bunch of farm tools could be seen in the corner of the wall. The room is not spacious, and the light is very dim, but Zhang Yang can still clearly see the thick layer of dust on the shelves. It seems that the business of this shop is not good.
Zhang Yang saw that no one came out to greet the guests, so he bent his finger and flicked it lightly on the blade of a sword next to him. In an instant, a crisp tinkling sound sounded three times. Then Zhang Yang heard a lazy greeting from the back room:
"Let's go into the back room! If you're here to buy something! ”
When Zhang Yang and the others entered the inner room, they finally saw the owner of this place, it was a short and bald old man, Zhang Yang looked at his sturdy body and empty right leg, and guessed in his heart the reason for the decline of the shop. At this point, the stocky old man spoke:
"I don't know who told you to come to me? Don't say anything you found yourself, I don't believe it at all. Except for a few old immortals. I usually have a lot of people here! ”
Zhang Yang was very surprised when he said this. I think there's some fun here.
"I heard, you can, customize, weapons?"
Zhang Yang did not answer the old man's words, but asked.
"Oh? It seems that you don't know my rules here. I don't know which old bastard got you here. The old man sneered for a moment, and then said:
"Customizing weapons is no problem at all, and it's guaranteed to your satisfaction. But! The weapon I made for you had to be something I hadn't made before. Otherwise, you might as well turn around and go out into the outhouse and pick a pick. ”
"That's right. How is the price calculated? ”
"As long as the drawings you come up with interest to me, I will only charge you the cost!"
"Good."
Speaking of this time, Zhang Yang guessed a little bit in his heart. This short, bald old man with a leg missing was probably a high-ranking blacksmith. Because when he was bored reading Mr. Phil's collection, there was such an introduction in a miscellaneous book that made him interested at that time.
When a high-ranking blacksmith marches to the rank of master blacksmith. They always want to make a pinnacle piece to prove themselves. However, many blacksmiths are not young when they get to this point, and they have old and spicy skills but lack innovative ideas. As a result, many of them choose to exchange drawings for their works to open up ideas. And at this time, in front of Zhang Yang, it is most likely that he is such a forging master who has been holding back for many years in order to make a breakthrough.
At this time, Zhang Yang was holding a piece of charcoal and concentrating on a piece of parchment drawing a weapon drawing. This is a short sword, with a slightly wide spine and a deep blood groove, and the blade of the sword with two sides of the blade is getting thinner and thinner from the spine. The position close to the jaw handle is slightly wider and narrower the point of the sword. On one side of the spine is a smooth blade, while the other side has a sharp serration on the back half. The entire short sword has a blade of 40 centimeters long and a width of about 8 centimeters. As Zhang Yang gradually drew the figures, the old blacksmith's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the furnace immediately. It's just that the old man knows in his heart that Zhang Yang hasn't said the requirements for the material of this weapon, and he can't start work yet.
After about 20 minutes, Zhang Yang finished drawing the drawings. When the old man asked him impatiently about the material requirements, Zhang Yang was a little difficult. After all, he didn't know the level of metals and minerals in this world. However, he roughly said that it was best to be as sharp and resilient as possible.
"Does it have a name? What is it called? ”
The old man asked with some eagerness.
"Fangs."
After Zhang Yang said the name again, he fell into a little memory. How long has that fangs been with you? How many battles between life and death have its shadow......
Zhang Yang, who came back to his senses, carefully exchanged opinions with the old man on other details, and after negotiating and confirming, he asked him to make 4. Two large and two small, the small one is twenty centimeters. Subsequently, Zhang Yang just asked the old blacksmith's name: Danlot-Copper Core, and was kicked out by the impatient old man. Let him get the weapon after 3 days. As for the swords outside, they are even more generous enough to let them use them and take them themselves.
Zhang Yang was not polite in this regard, and chose a short sword, several flying knives and a few sharp iron nails and an axe. Nilgerina took a dagger and two bundles of arrows. After greeting themselves to the inner room, the two left the blacksmith's shop, known as the Ringing Forge.
"Your Excellency, you're ready. Let's go, shall we? ”
Nirgerina was a little eager to try at this point.
In fact, Zhang Yang has also felt the changes in Niljielina recently, and at this time, she looks like a different person when she first met her in Jotan City! At that time, she was more like a delicate little jasper, and by this time, Niljielina had become a warrior with confidence and courage. Although she still looks very immature at this time, how long has it been? This kind of performance has made Zhang Yang very satisfied. Therefore, Zhang Yang glanced at Nierjielina with a little appreciation. Opening:
"It's fine, but it's not enough."
Nierjielina was slightly stunned after hearing Zhang Yang's words, but she didn't hear the deep meaning of his words.
