Seeing the scorn in the blonde youth's eyes, Raymond knew that he was only a half-gunsmith in front of him.

It wasn't him who Raymond met, but Master Haig,

He didn't dare to let this kind of apprentice make a robbery.

The powerful musket is destined to have extremely high requirements for the precision of the forging process.

If it blows up, you will end up harming yourself.

He asked tentatively, "That... I hope Master Haig can take a look at this drawing. If it can be forged, the price will definitely satisfy him. ”

"This kind of barrel doesn't need my master's hand at all, just leave it to me!"

The blonde young man pursed his mouth, and with a wave of his big hand, he agreed,

He probably just met a person who was stupid and had a lot of money, otherwise, he would not have come to forge such a flashy craft firearm.

This money is not earned in vain.

The blond young man roughly estimated the price, and said casually: "Your three barrels, even the cost price of materials is more than 50,000 quarks, and the processing fee is together... Count you in 100,000! Take the money and pick it up in five days..."

"What? So expensive! ”

This was Raymond's first reaction when he heard the price.

Just three barrels cost 100,000 quarks?

Do you know that even an inferior 9-sequence potion is only 10,000 or 20,000, and this barrel is only 100,000?

And the drums, butts, bullets, springs, and so on add up... If you want to make a finished gun, the price is not sky-high?

Raymond had never gotten this thing in his previous life, and he had no idea that a musket could cost so much.

The average musket is only three or five thousand quarks, and he thought that he could do it with eight thousand or nothing...

The blonde youth caught the narrowness on Raymond's face and sighed slightly.

He thought about it, but he still couldn't resist the kind persuasion and said, "Eh... I don't know what you got there. However, I kindly advise you not to try to forge it. I can guarantee that this gun has no actual combat effect except for grandstanding, and it is just a waste of money. ”

Raymond naturally believed that this drawing was fine, he was just struggling to find such a large sum of money to rob in front of him.

Now he has dozens of quarks on his body, and he doesn't even have enough money to pay a deposit.

What to do?

......

Just as the two were discussing the price, a middle-aged man with a brown beard appeared in the gun shop at some point.

He picked up the blueprint on the table that the blonde youth had discarded, and as soon as he looked at it, his brow furrowed.

The blueprint was taken out of his hand, and the blonde youth was stunned, and anger rose to his face.

Just wanted to get angry,

When he saw the person clearly, he quickly got up, changed his face to humility, and said softly, "Teacher." ”

Raymond naturally recognized this bearded middle-aged man, he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the "Fire Tongue Firearms Renovation Shop", gunsmith Haig.

"Hmm."

Haig nodded, did not speak, and concentrated on studying the drawings in his hand.

Looking at it, he also deliberately removed the magnifying glass on his chest and carefully looked at the details on the drawing.

The more he thought about it, the tighter the wrinkles on his brow became.

"That..."

The blond young man wanted to remind his master that this was just a drawing of a craft musket, and he hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything.

He knew that Master hated being interrupted while he was concentrating on his work.

Moreover, Master will definitely be able to tell the quality of this drawing at a glance.

But gradually, he saw emotions in Master's expression that he shouldn't have seen...

Astound?

Obviously it was just a grandiose drawing, how could Master show such an expression?

Could it be that the master has lost his eyes?

Do you want to remind him of the old man?

......

For a long time, the guns could be heard.

Raymond and the blond youth watched silently as Master Haig studied the drawings.

"What a whimsy! A coarse-caliber barrel that requires Heim rifling, and only a sea steel with a strength of IX or more can support such a crazy design..."

Haig's eyes gradually showed a twinkle, as if he had seen a naked young girl.

This is the persistent expression that a senior gunsmith will only show when he sees the design of peak firearm skills.

He did not hesitate to praise himself, sometimes in amazement, sometimes frowning and doubting.

The more you look at this drawing, the more exquisite it becomes, but there are many designs that he doesn't quite understand.

Unfortunately, if you have a whole finished drawing, you should understand what is going on with those seemingly redundant, but extremely subtle designs.

"It's a genius-level drawing! The finished drawing is definitely the pinnacle of musket craftsmanship! ”

Haig finally put down the drawing in his hand, he turned his head to look at Raymond, and said politely: "Young man, can you tell me which master drew this drawing?" ”

Raymond had already thought about how to deal with it, and said, "Someone took the money, let me ask Master Haig if you can forge this kind of barrel." ”

Sure enough, it's just a little guy running errands.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Haig's face, and since "the man" was reluctant to show up, he had no way of knowing how elaborate the complete drawings were.

There are too many mysteries in the black market in District 23, where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Guys who like to delve into other people's privacy often have their bodies sunk in the deep sea.

This is also one of the survival rules of the black market in District 23.

"You've got the right person... The whole Philip Collar of this barrel is probably the only one I can forge. It's a pity, why not complete drawings. ”

Haig nodded slightly regretfully.

Raymond's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask, "So... How much does it cost? Please inform me of a reasonable price so that I can get back to my employer. ”

He wasn't sure if the golden retriever just now wanted to trick himself and make random offers.

Now it's time to pull the tiger skin of the "mysterious man" behind himself.

The implication is very clear, there is someone behind me, you be careful to quote.

"Price?"

Haig smiled mysteriously, rubbing the drawings as if he were holding a rare treasure.

He paused, then added, "Although the cost of this drawing is almost 50,000 quarks, the difficulty of forging is very high. If you want to perfectly meet the requirements on the drawings, it is not something that ordinary gunsmiths can do, and if you want to engrave Heim's rifling in a short-barreled musket, you need at least a master's skill to ensure that the finished product does not explode..."

Raymond also understood that forging this barrel requires a "master-level" gunsmith.

In the entire Black Sea area, hundreds of ship island territories, "master craftsmen" can count them on one hand.

As it happens, there is one in front of me.

They don't make a move easily, and the shooting fee is extremely high!

Raymond's eyelids jumped a little, listening to the tone, this is the rhythm of giving up a lot of money...

This old guy can't just want to raise the price all the time, right?

The conversation suddenly changed,

"But... Just now my disciple said 100,000 quarks, just 100,000. Forging such an exquisite firearm is also a process of enjoyment for me. ”

At this time, Haig regained a kind smile and dispelled Raymond's concerns.

After a pause, he added: "Little brother, please tell your employer, I will finish this barrel for him, and I will get it in three days..."

Raymond listened, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a price increase, it's easy to say anything.

"If possible, I would like you to help me bring me a sincere greeting... I'd like to ask your employer to talk about it. Or, if you can take the liberty of helping, will the contemptible be able to peek into the complete musket drawings? ”

After Haig finished speaking, he seemed to feel that his request was a little abrupt, and changed his words: "Hmm... You can help me ask, if it doesn't work, forget it. In any case, the barrel on this drawing, I will definitely forge it perfectly. ”

After all, it is still necessary to build the finished product before negotiating the qualifications, and Haig intends to focus all his energy on these three barrels these days.

Raymond nodded, and the boulder in his heart finally fell.

"Master Haig, I'll bring it for you if you say it."

"Well, thank you, little brother. Three days later, the delivery will be made on time. ”
