Chapter 525: Provocation

After several light snowfalls in a row, a blizzard that lasted for a day and a night announced the arrival of a harsh winter.

After the blizzard, the entire land was buried with snow, the snow was more than a meter thick, and even the rushing river froze overnight.

It's just that the temperature is not very low, and people still have to work.

The crops have been harvested, the flour has been milled, the livestock have been processed, and all but the females and some young animals have been slaughtered. The first thing to do in winter is to take the ice, i.e. to take the ice from the river and store it in a special ice cellar for use in the following summer. During the long summer months, which last for more than seven months, ice is the most important resource.

This work must be completed within five days.

According to Jack's experience, the temperature during the first five days of winter is around minus 10 degrees Celsius, and then it drops to -20 degrees Celsius or even -30 degrees Celsius. There are only ten days at most, and then everyone has to stay in the farmhouse as much as possible, and the farmhouse will drop below the surface for most of the day, only at noon to enjoy the rare sunlight on the ground.

Chu Tianjiang participated in the work and did not give himself special treatment.

Of course, he only participated in half a day's work, and used the last of his time to expand the small cellar, dig out a storage room for food and firewood, build a toilet connected to the irrigation network, and erect a second ventilation pipe. In this way, in the harsh winter, he can light the fireplace and fight the cold. The food and firewood stored were enough for him to consume at least a month. It's not a lot to survive the winter, but Jack and Lucia will bring him food and firewood whenever they have the chance. Of course, if necessary, he can also stay with the Jacks and spend the winter with them.

On the forty-eighth day of Chu Tianjiang's arrival in this world, the harsh winter has really arrived.

The blizzard lasted for seven days, and even the night demons, who were not afraid of the cold, rarely came out to move, and people had to hide underground during the day.

Anyway, it's a little hotter underground.

In these seven days, Chu Tianjiang was not idle.

After taking some alloys from the ruins, Chu Tianjiang set out to create a set of armor for himself that suited this era, as well as a long sword to pretend.

Of course, this is a suggestion made by "Zhang Xiaogang".

According to the figure, if Chu Tianjiang summoned the colorful battle armor and used the weapon left by Clara, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. Because he will definitely encounter danger in the future, Chu Tianjiang must arm himself, and he must use the methods of this era.

The easiest way to do this is to build yourself a set of armor and a weapon.

Figures provided the means and also helped design armor and weapons. Because the figure is only a virtual projection, other things have to be done by Chu Tianjiang himself.

This is a set of scale armor, which can resist both slashing and stabbing. Although the best thing in the cold weapon era is plate armor, Chu Tianjiang has long noticed that Schneider and Ava wear chain mail, and several other members of the guard are also chain mail, so plate armor should be a very high-level armor, and not everyone can use it. In addition, it is much more difficult to create a proper plate armor than a scale armor.

As for the long sword, the style is very ordinary, except for the blood wave pattern on the spine of the sword, there is nothing special.

The key is that this set of armor and weapons must be able to fuse colorful armor and the "Shadowless Sword".

The name was taken by a figure, and he originally wanted to use "X Weapon" or other more attractive names, but Chu Tianjiang finally adopted this name.

It's a bit rustic, but it's not very ostentatious.

Anyway, this is an era of cold weapons, and Schneider and Ava both have a sword, and they both have names for their own swords, which are also similar and more rustic names.

Of course, it is not difficult to merge with the Colorful Warframe and the Shadowless Sword.

The Shadowless Sword could originally appear in various forms, so it could be attached to the long sword created by Chu Tianjiang, and even integrated into the long sword. The core of the colorful battle armor is the "energy-like body", which is not a real substance, so it can also be fused into the armor created by Chu Tianjiang.

In fact, even without the Shadowless Sword and Colorful Battle Armor, the armor and long sword created by Chu Tianjiang were the most powerful armor and weapons in this world. You must know that Chu Tianjiang uses a special alloy from the ruins, while Schneider and Ava's armor and weapons are made of steel. In addition to being harder than steel, this special alloy has better toughness and is much less dense than steel.

Chu Tianjiang even suspected that it was not a metal, but some kind of composite material.

It's just that the figure has concluded that this is metal, nothing more than a metal that has been foamed, and its main ingredient is not uncommon, it is titanium, and what makes it extremely hard is the special element mixed in it. The main function of this element is to dive into the crystal lattice of titanium element, double the crystal bond, and at the same time increase the structural strength of the crystal by more than ten times, making the titanium alloy stronger.

This brings a very significant benefit, namely that the density of the alloy is only one-sixth that of ordinary titanium alloys.

If this set of armor is made of titanium alloy, the weight must be more than twenty kilograms, and the weight of this armor created by Chu Tianjiang is less than four kilograms, and it is about the same as an animal skin coat when worn on the body. Because weapons that were too light were not suitable for fighting, Chu Tianjiang used steel to make some decorative patterns on the spine of the sword, and fused them to the long sword, making the weight of the long sword reach three kilograms.

After the snowstorm passed, it ushered in a rare sunny day.

At noon, when the temperature was at its highest, Chu Tianjiang put on the armor he had made, and put on his animal skin coat and came to the ground.

Although the temperature is still around minus 35 degrees, it does not freeze people to death immediately, and after seven days of hiding, people want to come out and move their muscles and bones, and they need to communicate with each other. In addition, Jack and Lucia have to help some residents who are in need, such as being sick.

Because he was wearing an animal skin coat, no one noticed the armor on Chu Tianjiang's body.

It's just that the long sword is very conspicuous.

"Skyler."

Hearing the greeting, Chu Tianjiang stopped his pace. It was Schneider, who had taken off his fur coat and was battling a sword with one of the guards, the other guards were microscopic next to him, and Ava was in the crowd. There were also a few children, all of whom were tightly wrapped in fur.

Schneider pointed to the long sword on Chu Tianjiang's waist. "What, you have a weapon too?"

"Can't you have a weapon?"

"Only warriors are qualified to have weapons." Schneider walked over, "Are you a warrior?" ”

"Obviously, it's not up to you to judge."

"Really?" Schneider laughed, then turned around and raised his voice and said, "There's someone here who wants to prove that he's a warrior!" ”

Chu Tianjiang ignored Schneider, his impression of Schneider had never been very good.

This guy is very tall and strong, and never takes anyone else, especially a commoner, as if he is the owner of this farm.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang wasn't afraid of him, he just didn't want to get himself into trouble.

Schneider's shouting attracted a lot of people, even Jack, who was helping to tidy up a farmhouse, and he didn't stop what was happening.

Chu Tianjiang wanted to walk away, but he noticed that everyone was looking at him.

"Well, do you have the guts to prove that you're a warrior?"

"How do you prove it?" Chu Tianjiang stopped. Although Schneider was taller and stronger than him, Chu Tianjiang had enough confidence to defeat him.

"Defeat me, and you'll join the Guard."

"The problem is, I don't want to join the Guard."

"What?"

"That doesn't stop me from knocking you down, though."

"Really?" Schneider took a few steps back, raised his voice again, and said, "Listen, everyone, this guy is starting to talk about taking me down. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, and then shook his head again.

"What are you doing?" Jack finally arrived. Although Chu Tianjiang had never seen him use a weapon, Jack's skills would definitely not be much worse, and he must have been a warrior before. Otherwise, he would not have survived here, let alone suppressed an arrogant person like Schneider.

"Jack, he's challenging me, it's none of your business."

Schneider's words made Chu Tianjiang believe that Jack and the captain of the guard had a deep conflict, and perhaps the two had already been tense.

"This is not a slaughterhouse, isn't there enough danger outside, are you going to kill each other?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill him, just teach him a lesson."

Jack glanced at Schneider, walked up to Chu Tianjiang, and said in a low voice: "It's too late to give up now, this guy will definitely not be soft." ”

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and didn't explain much.

Jack looked at Chu Tianjiang and seemed to see a little sign. "Since you're sure, don't show mercy, but don't kill him either, just teach him a lesson."

Chu Tianjiang bowed slightly, indicating that he understood what Jack meant.

patted Chu Tianjiang on the shoulder, and then Jack turned around and walked away. Although Jack didn't believe that Chu Tianjiang could defeat Schneider, Chu Tianjiang was able to cross half of the old continent alone, avoid the night demons, and come to the farm, which was a kind of strength in itself, and it showed that he had enough courage.

In this cruel world, there are not many people with such strength and courage.

You must know that even a caravan protected by holy warriors and saints may not be able to pass through half of the old continent unscathed.

At this time, the members of the guard formed a circle and blocked the others out.

When Chu Tianjiang took off his animal skin coat, the others saw that the armor on his body was a brand new scale armor, much better than the chain mail on Schneider's body.
