Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sword Drinks Blood
Tang Ge is not in a hurry to make weapons, but if the tools are not handy, it is too troublesome to do. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info and explained to both of them that there are too few iron ores, and if they can't find iron ore, the tribe will only rely on bronze tools in the future, and it is imperative to use these tools to mine copper ore first. And these tools are recyclable, not wasteful. But these two people are just confused, and they can't make sense no matter how they say it.
Well, now, today, the first dagger is about to be freshly baked. This short sword is small, only more than thirty centimeters, and this has to count the hilt, how wide the blade is two fingers. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that this weapon is a short sword, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a dagger.
This short sword was made entirely to deal with Fat Witch and Aoyama. According to Tang Ge's temper, he wanted to make a set of carpentry tools first. At worst, you should make some big axes, which can be used for war, hunting, and logging. But the sword in front of him was too powerful, and if he couldn't see these two things, Fat Wu and Qingshan would not be reconciled.
Although he was just dealing with Fat Wu and Qingshan, Tang Ge didn't cut corners at all. The short sword was folded and forged thirty times, which was still far from a hundred steels, but in Tang Ge's opinion, thirty refinements were enough. With the current hardness and slashing with the stone knife, there will not even be a mark left on the short sword.
A short sword took five days to polish alone. Under Tang Ge's supervision, the clansmen carefully sharpened their swords on the stones. From the coarsest bluestone, all the way to the most delicate stone that can be found, and finally with burlap dipped in fine soil and thrown another day's light. With the hilt attached, a glittering short sword was finally completed.
The short sword is straight and pointed, opened on both sides, the sword body is straight, the double blades are shiny, and the light is slightly restrained. I don't dare to say that this sword is as iron as clay, and it is easy to blow hair and break hair. Tang Ge weighed it in his hand, about two catties, about the same as the weight of a hammer.
Tang Ge didn't make a scabbard, he felt that it would be more visually impactful to present this sharp murder weapon directly in front of Fat Wu and Qingshan.
These days, Fat Wu and Qingshan are angry with Tang Ge, and they have endured not coming to Jianlu. It's better this way, and seeing the finished product directly is more stimulating to them.
Tang Ge sent a clansman to call Qingshan and Fat Wu, saying that he had already made a sword. Then he sat lazily on a large stone pier and waited.
It didn't take long for Fat Witch and Qingshan to come in a hurry, it is estimated that both of them came over, Fat Witch was already panting like a cow at this time, but he still couldn't hide the look of anticipation on his face.
When the two approached, Tang Ge smiled and pulled out the short sword from behind him, and threw the short sword on the stake in front of him. With a "duh" sound, the short sword was inserted into the stake more than three fingers, and the sword body trembled and made a buzzing sound. Tang Ge said arrogantly: "You have what you want, take it and play with it!" ”
Qingshan and Fat Witch's eyes were green, like hungry beasts. The two rushed forward together, Qingshan rushed to the front one step ahead of Fat Wu, and he didn't know what this guy thought, so he didn't grasp the hilt of the sword, and reached out and grabbed the shiny sword body. Tang Ge hurriedly stopped, but it was too late, Qingshan's hand had already grabbed the blade of the sword, and blood suddenly gushed out. The red-black blood flowed down the silver glittering blade, drawing a series of enchanting snakes, red and white colors, making the short sword even more eye-catching.
Tang Ge didn't pretend to be forced anymore, pulled out his sword and handed it to Qingshan, and said in a narrow mouth: "Legend has it that when a divine soldier is born, he must drink blood, otherwise it will be unlucky." Well, this sword is completely opened. ”
Qingshan didn't hear Tang Ge's joke, but instead paused for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "It should be, it should be, Shi Wazi, is this blood enough?" Uncle has a lot of blood, so if it's not enough, come again. ”
Tang Ge rolled his eyes, speechless at Qingshan's IQ.
The Fat Witch also arrived, snatched the short sword, and looked at it over and over in his hand. I tried the blade with my finger, and a deep cut was immediately made on my finger belly, Tang Ge felt pain when he looked at it, but the fat witch didn't feel it, and said happily: "My blood is also there, and I have also opened it!" ”
Tang Ge's eyes rolled to the sky, and he was completely speechless.
casually handed over a wooden stick, and said helplessly to the two stupid people: "Do you two think that you have a lot of blood or do you like to masochist?" Try this. ”
The Fat Witch took the wooden stick and slashed it lightly, and a long piece of wood was cut off. Immediately shocked by the sharpness of the short sword. Knife after knife was sharpened, and soon the stick became a stake, but the short sword was still sharp, and it was not hurt in the slightest.
To say that Tang Ge also has a heart, after the short sword was ready, he tried several kinds of wood, picked the easiest one to sharpen, and prepared it, just waiting for the two of them to come to shock them. Tang Ge wanted to completely subdue the two of them at one time, and continue to make noise with himself in the future.
Looking at the two people who couldn't put down the short sword, Tang Ge's heart moved, and he said to the two of them: "Give this sword a name." ”
The two were a little stunned, and the fat witch asked, "Can the weapon still have a name?" ”
Tang Ge said proudly: "Of course! But every weapon must have a name of its own, in order to distinguish it from those mortal things. ”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately became extremely excited, and they discussed what name to use. Fat Wu suggested using heaven and earth, landscapes and the like, and Qingshan liked to use jackals, tigers and leopards as names, and for a while neither of them could convince anyone. Tang Ge listened to the uncreative names popping out one after another, only to feel that his scalp was numb and his eyes were black. I couldn't help it, so I burst into a shout: "Stop arguing!" You two are really good enough to break the level! In my opinion, this sword will see blood when it is born, and it will be called a blood-drinking sword! ”
Fat Wu and Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the two of them kept chattering: "Blood Drinking Sword!" Blood-Drinking Sword! What a name. ”
Tang Ge's chin was facing the sky, and he was extremely arrogant.
"Little stone, is this just the sword?" Fat Witch asked suddenly.
Tang Ge's face suddenly collapsed, and he said helplessly: "This kind of divine weapon, you think it's pottery!" One out of one kiln? No, it's a lot of work to make this thing, that's it for now. ”
Aoyama muttered, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Tang Ge knew why Qingshan was chattering. The trading team in the tribe was about to set off, and according to Tang Ge and Fat Wu's meaning, they did not bring plates and bowls or anything like that, but prepared all kinds of exquisitely shaped ornaments. These are all carefully made by the tribe recently, don't look at the small size of these ornaments and pendants, but the price may be higher.
And Fat Wu and Tang Ge also explained, try not to be too expensive for these things. A small pendant can be exchanged for a dozen or so slaves, and if you want to have a long-term business, you can't slaughter people too hard. When he said this, Tang Ge felt that his heart couldn't be darker anymore. Take a small clay puppet pinched in mud and replace it with ten big living people, it has to be regarded as a conscience price, how many times the profit must be? I don't know if I will go to hell because of it when I die? For this reason, Tang Ge secretly prayed several times.
The reason why Qingshan is a pity is also very simple, this guy must be thinking about such a treasure, if he takes it out and trades it, I don't know how many good things he can exchange for it back.
Before Tang Ge could speak, the fat witch taught Qingshan a stern lesson with a cold face: "I'll tell you!" This thing must not be passed out of the tribe! You can only use it yourself! You can't even show a little bit of tone to the outside world! Otherwise, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the tribe! ”
Tang Ge nodded approvingly. Qingshan figured out the joints, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
When the freshness of the two of them was almost gone, Tang Ge said: "The weapon is only this one for the time being, because the iron ore is not easy to find, I will not make this kind of short sword in the future, and I plan to make all the remaining materials into a long sword broadsword." But it takes time to do these things, so you'd better bother me less in the future. ”
Fat Witch nodded and said, "Okay!" You can do what you want, but there is not enough iron ore, and the copper ore you mentioned can be mined a lot in the tribe now, can you use copper ore to do it? ”
Under the vigorous mining of the tribe, the copper ore has indeed accumulated a lot. Now that he has been refined, he has saved hundreds of catties. But the copper is too soft to be used as a tool, let alone a weapon. If you want to use it, you must mix it with lead and tin to smelt the red copper into bronze. Even if it is refined into bronze, it will be because the bronze is easy to break and is not suitable for long weapons, so Tang Ge will refine all the remaining steel into large swords and long swords to supplement the lack of bronze.
Now that copper is available, lead and tin are not, there is no hope for bronze at present.
explained the reason to Fat Wu and Qingshan, and the two nodded as if they didn't understand. Regardless of whether they understood the matter of bronze or not, they still understood the fact that they were moving all kinds of stones into the tribe to try to make metals.
sent the two away, and Tang Ge also went home. Da Shi came back, Tang Ge told Da Shi not to run around today, because he had a very important thing to do, but Da Shi is still waiting at home.
When he got home, Tang Singer flipped through and took out a razor. The razor is very simple, it is made of a dozen centimeters of iron made of some scraps. The black blade had a thin and small light handle, and Tang Ge didn't add a wooden handle, because it was not necessary.
Tang Ge's so-called big thing is very simple, that is, to shave his head, shave his head for the big stone and himself. In the tribe, men and women have long hair, and they will only cut it until it gets in the way. Tang Ge has long been fed up with the messy head of the big stone, and his dog's gnawing hairstyle has not grown neatly, coupled with the hot weather, it is better to shave his hair than to shave it. From the time he started smelting iron, Tang Ge had been looking forward to this moment. can endure until today to make a razor with leftovers, Tang Ge thinks that he is definitely honest and honest enough.
