Chapter 145: Sitting
"Hey, Boulevard pedestrian, you know what? In a week's time, we will hold a fighting competition, and all blacksmiths above the third rank will be eligible to sign up. One of the blacksmiths, who was striking iron in the ironsmith in the Iron Valley, said to the other.
"Lao Dao, I'm not deaf or blind, I can't know about such a big thing?" The blacksmith called the pedestrian of the avenue said.
"Boulevard pedestrian, you say, is the award of the highest prize real? Eye-gouging demon, really give the first place that gold-level bust armor? The defense power of that bust can reach 800! It's like a mobile bunker! And the most surprising thing is that the half-body armor actually has warm skills, wearing that half-body armor to mine and strike iron, you won't feel tired at all, this is really a specially customized equipment for our blacksmiths! Lao Dao said.
"Of course this is true, although the eye-gouging demon is not necessarily a good person, his reputation is still reputable. Also, the second and third place rewards are not bad! They are also gold-level equipment, but their performance is a little worse than that half-body armor. Also, as long as you enter the top 16, you will have a chance to get a silver or gold level equipment. The attributes of those equipment are also quite good! Said the pedestrian of the avenue.
"But in addition to these expensive equipment, it's a bit inexplicable that the first place winner will be able to use crystal water completely free for life." Lao Dao said.
"Yes! What the hell is this crystal water? It seems like a very expensive thing on a par with those prizes. The pedestrian then expressed his doubts.
"Listening to the introduction of the eye-gouging demon, this crystal water is a kind of water, and this water is used for quenching. I heard that the use of this crystal water quenched weapon, both durability and sharpness, is more than a cut higher, is a kind of water, turning waste into magical water. Lao Dao said.
"This crystal water, really has such an effect?" The pedestrian asked.
"I don't know, but I've heard that as long as you are a blacksmith of rank 4 or above in the Iron Valley, you can get a bucket of such crystal water for free." Lao Dao said.
"Is there such a good thing?" The pedestrian on the avenue said with some surprise.
As they said this, a group of men came in carrying a bucket of water outside the blacksmith's workshop. The man who carried the water said to the whole blacksmith, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the water that I have come with great pain, and you will give me an iron-making furnace, and I will try to see if this water is as good as the eye-gouging man said." ”
Immediately someone prepared an iron furnace for him, and another handed him a long sword that was almost finished. The man took the sword and put it on the fire. It didn't take long for the long sword to be cleaned up by the man, and finally it was the quenching stage. The man expertly lowered the nearly finished sword into the bucket of water he had brought.
A white mist rose from the bucket, and the man drew his sword out of the water. Everyone looked at the sword intently, and someone unconsciously asked, "How about the sword?" ”
The man hurriedly checked the attributes of the long sword, and everyone looked at his face nervously, wanting to know something from it. The moment the man looked at the long sword, his face suddenly changed drastically. The crowd didn't know what was going on, and they became more and more nervous, but when they saw the man's face turn to surprise, they all secretly exhaled.
"How's it going, brother?" Someone in the crowd asked.
The man silently handed the long sword to the person closest to him, and the man took it and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and he shouted in surprise: "How is this possible? This turned out to be a bronze-level weapon! ”
Another person snatched the long sword over and looked at it, and he also said in surprise: "It is not only bronze-grade, but also durable and sharp, 10%-20% higher than the martial long swords we used to make." ”
"Show me!" The people next to him kept competing for the long sword, and in the end, the long sword turned around in the hands of everyone, and everyone who saw the long sword was full of surprises in their hearts.
"Brother, how much has the experience of your iron-striking skills increased this time?" After looking at the long sword, someone asked the man.
The man immediately looked at it too, and soon he almost shouted, "Oh my God! It's 200 experience! ”
"200 points?" The surprise of the crowd was even greater.
"Aren't you right? Usually we shoot a long sword, and what we get is just ** points. Someone asked suspiciously.
"It's true, it's probably because I hit the first bronze weapon, so there are a little more." The man nodded affirmatively.
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately ran out, and the players who woke up quickly followed and ran out one after another. Seeing that this crystal water has such a miraculous effect, of course they can't wait to get a bucket and feel the extraordinary charm of this crystal water.
This kind of situation is not only happening in this blacksmith, basically, all the blacksmiths in the iron valley are playing the same scene.
"Dragon, you see, our crystal water is very popular?" Lan Zhan pointed to the players who kept pouring out of the blacksmiths and said to me. Our mood, at this moment, feels very happy.
"This crystal water, as long as it has been seen by those blacksmiths, they will naturally know its wonders, this crystal water, has now conquered the players of Iron Valley, as long as our fighting skills competition is successfully held, it can successfully enter the hearts of every blacksmith in this game, and at that time, the players who come to our Iron Valley will be more endless. As long as we have enough popularity in Tiegu, then our future affairs will naturally go very smoothly. I nodded and said.
After a while, I said to Lan Zhan: "Lan Zhan, I'm going to go and invite Lao Tie and them to our Iron Valley, what do you think?" ”
"This method is very good, let's go together, I am very sure that I will persuade Lao Tie to settle down with us." Lan Zhan said with great confidence.
"Without further ado, let's go!" I pulled Lan Zhan, called Ya'er, and immediately ran towards the small village where Lao Tie lived.
"Brother, I'll use Xiaofeng to drive you over." Xunlong has nothing to sit on, she is always by our side, and she can hear what we say clearly.
With the help of Xiaofeng's flying ability, our group came to the front of Lao Tie's blacksmith in a blink of an eye. It's been a long time since I've been here, but nothing has changed here.
We walked down the phoenix, but we didn't see Lao Tie, who were busy striking iron in the blacksmith's shop, but his apprentices. None of them looked at us as they came, and they were really attentive to the extreme. We came to the side of the knife, and found that he was hammering a large piece of iron on the anvil over and over again, and the huge iron hammer, hammering on the iron, made a very rhythmic sound one after another, like the sound of a war drum of a large army charging, and it sounded like a blood surge.
Not far away, Min was also very concentrated, and the small hammer in his hand flew on top of the iron like a gust of wind, and because of the fast-moving trajectory, it was like a very illusory mist surrounding the iron. And that dense rhythm makes people feel breathless when they listen to it.
After a period of time, the knife and Min have also improved, and their iron-striking skills have also improved.
Xiao Dao finally sensed our arrival, he saw us, just smiled, buried his head and was about to continue his work, we hurriedly asked, "Uncle Dao, isn't Master Tie here?" ”
Uncle Knife didn't answer us, he just pointed in the direction of the back room with the hammer in his hand, and then ignored us.
We no longer interfered with the knife's work, and after receiving his instructions, we immediately went to the back room. There were several people in the back room, and they were all working hard, but instead of striking iron, they were making all sorts of bows and crossbows and the like. We asked one of them again, and under his guidance, we found the place where Lao Tie was.
I don't know what happened, Lao Tie actually hid in an empty house, and when we went in, we saw him meditating on a futon in the middle of the house, and looking at him, he was actually meditating. This old iron, do you want to change careers and become a magician?
It is very rude to interrupt someone else's meditation, but Lao Tie, who seemed to know that we were coming, opened his eyes and said to us, "Child, why do you have time to find me Lao Tie?" ”
"Master Tie, this is the raw material you want us to find, do you think it is suitable for use?" As soon as Lao Tie spoke, I immediately walked over and took out the rare metals of the Jiangshan Alliance that had been scavenged from the Iron Valley and handed them to Lao Tie.
"The purity is very good, and the variety is also very complete, child, it's really hard for you to make up so many rare metals so quickly." Lao Tie said with a smile.
"Master Tie, do we still have a lot of ore that hasn't been smelted?" I hurriedly brought out some more ore.
"Kid, you can just leave these things to the knife." Lao Tie just glanced at those things and didn't put them away.
"Lan Zhan, thank you for introducing me to that person last time." After Lao Tie finished talking to me, he stood up and bowed to Lan Zhan.
"Master Tie, this can't be helped, you will kill juniors like this." Lan Zhan hurriedly helped Lao Tie up.
"Lan Zhan, don't call me a master, I'm too far from the person you introduced to me last time, he is the real master! In front of him, I was not even qualified to swing the hammer on the side. Lao Tie said in a panic.
"Master Tie, the person I introduced to you also admires you very much, he said that you are one of the few people in the world who has a talent for striking iron, and he said that your future achievements will not be under him." Lan Zhan said.
"Shame! My old iron is really in vain, although I boast that I know some iron-making skills, but if I want to compare with that person, in my lifetime, I am afraid there is no way to achieve it. Lao Tie shook his head and said.
As for what the two of them said about Lan Zhan, I listened to it as if I was falling into a fog, and when I saw them pulling farther and farther, I couldn't help but be a little anxious, but I couldn't interject at all.
"Iron Master, don't be discouraged, in this game, your lifespan can be extended several times, you can completely surpass that person, what you lack now is not the skill of striking iron, just the attainment of magic. But you don't have to worry about this, you are also a very rare person with a talent for magic, and that person believes that you can definitely become the first person in this game to truly become a spirit-level artifact master. Lan Zhan said.
"Lan Zhan, no matter what, I have to thank you for helping me introduce that person. This man is very important to me, and I can say that he is a milestone in my crafting career. Lan Zhan, you are my great benefactor, I swore early in the morning that as long as you ask for it, I will definitely do it for you. Tell me, what kind of weapons are you going to build this time! Lao Tie said very sincerely.
"Iron Master, we want to find you to go to Iron Valley." Lan Zhan was also very straightforward, and told us straight to the point.
The Iron Valley you mentioned is there, and I will immediately ask my disciples to go with me. What kind of weapons do you want in the future, just say it, and I'll try to help you build it. Lao Tie finally turned back to the topic of concern.
"Then thank you Iron Master." Lan Zhan hurriedly thanked.
"Guys, please stop what you're doing, I'm going to say something." Lao Tie walked out, cleared his throat, and shouted after the outside.
"Master!" All the disciples of Lao Tie, whether they were making bows and crossbows inside or striking iron outside, all put down their things in their hands and stood in front of Lao Tie, lined up in a very neat line.
"Everyone, our blacksmith is about to move to Tiegu, is anyone willing to come with me?" Lao Tie said.
"Master! You go there, and we go there. Lao Tie's disciples replied in unison.
"Very good, let's pack our things and follow this blue brother right away." Lao Tie said with some relief.
"Master, Tiegu is there! The environment there, is it good? The disciples asked as they gathered their things.
"I'll tell you about this on behalf of the Iron Master. Iron Valley is actually a big canyon, and the wind in it is very fast, and such a one-way wind is very helpful for our smelting and iron smelting. Moreover, there is also a lot of ore there, uncles, as long as you get there, what kind of ore and metal and other materials you want, as long as you tell us, we will help you get it immediately. Also, that iron valley is rich in something called crystal water, which is very cold and very suitable for quenching. We have already experimented with weapons quenched with this crystal water, and the attributes of each township are about 10% better. If you get there, you can do whatever you want. I was on the side, I said.
"Little brother, this is true, is there really that kind of water quality?" Those uncles who strike iron are quite interested in this crystal water.
"Of course that's good, otherwise, we don't have anything there, so why am I embarrassed to let you settle in the Iron Valley?" I said.
"Little brother, you tell me. Are there a lot of blacksmiths around there? We need to be quiet when we strike iron, and we don't want to be noisy. Knife asked me.
"Uncle Dao, don't worry, although there are a lot of blacksmiths there, the valley is also very big, we have all the control there, when the time comes, we will build a special blacksmith for you, and you will definitely not be disturbed." I said quickly.
"Moreover, we will have people specially help you collect raw materials, and whatever materials you want, we will send them to you. You will not have to worry about the lack of materials at all, you just need to concentrate on doing what you like. I continued.
"Even if you completely help us make up the materials, we can't always practice our iron-striking skills. The master laid down a rule for us early on that we had to be out looking for ore for three months a year, and it wasn't just looking for ore. A good blacksmith is not built by a constant hammer. Knife said to us with a smile.
"Also, only by constantly growing your knowledge can you become a good blacksmith." We nodded.
In fact, there are not many things in this blacksmith shop in Lao Tie, and each of them just carries their own tools, and then puts some iron materials in their storage space that they have been forging day and night, and they can go on the road. And for those weapons that they have already made, they don't even look at them, and only a few people who have a special liking for one of their works will bring them.
"Uncle, don't you want any of these things?" I casually rummaged through the finished items in the blacksmith and found that almost all of the equipment in it were silver-grade, and few of them were bronze-grade, but I didn't find any gold-level ones.
"Do those garbage also get into the eyes of the little brother? Your pair of red moons are good things! Knife asked me.
Litter! Knives, they actually treat these silver-level equipment as garbage! You know, a silver-level weapon, no matter how bad its attributes are, is still a piece of equipment that people use to show off! If I take out so many silver-level weapons, each of them will have to sell for more than 10,000 gold coins, so many silver-level equipment, after selling them completely, I can get millions of gold coins! It seems that these apprentices of Lao Tie are either very rich or very stupid, which makes them completely blind to these weapons.
"Uncles, these equipment you have built, in the eyes of the younger brother, are all high-quality products! If you don't want them, let me help you get rid of them! "I couldn't miss such a great opportunity, so I immediately asked them for their advice to get their hands on these things.
They nodded indifferently, and I immediately cheered, and put the hundreds of pieces of equipment into the space in my wrist chakra.
After dealing with these things, our group, facing the breeze, walked in the direction of Tiegu.
On this day, all the leaders of the Wyvern Alliance gathered in a small room to talk. Outside the small room, there are many masters drawn from various teams, and with their care, no one can get close to here. Therefore, no one knows what they are talking about, everyone just sees that the wrinkles on their foreheads are wrinkled one by one by the heads of each of the Flying Dragon Alliance, and each of them looks preoccupied.
After the meeting, the leaders of the Wyvern Alliance left there with their own teams. Qinghuo, on the other hand, convened various cadres of the Iron Blood Alliance and held a meeting, at which Qinghuo told Zhuge afterwards in a very low voice that the Flying Dragon Alliance had been disbanded.
Zhuge didn't react much afterwards, but the crazy axe couldn't accept it, and he shouted: "Captain Qinghuo, how can we, the Flying Dragon Alliance, say that we will disperse?" Together, our teams will be invincible in this game! ”
"Invincible? Crazy Axe, do you think that so many people in our Flying Dragon Alliance are invincible in this game? Hum! Our Wyvern Alliance has actually existed in name only a long time ago, and this dissolution is just a beginning and an end. In the past, we didn't know the situation and thought that if we put those teams together and do anything, we could build an alliance, but then we learned that it wasn't like that at all. We simply don't have any command over our alliance, and when it comes to alliances, aren't the teams managing themselves? When we took refuge in the Celestial Alliance of the Eye-Gouging Demon, we could still borrow the command system of their temporary alliance, but since their Celestial Alliance was disbanded, our Flying Dragon Alliance has gone its own way. There is no need for a union that is not tightly knit to survive. Qinghuo said.
"Moreover, this alliance of ours has no foundation at all. In the past, everyone could work together to deal with the Jiangshan Alliance, but when the Jiangshan Alliance was dissolved, there was no need for us to exist. That is to say, we were able to combine in the past, but it was only by the tremendous pressure of the Jiangshan League that we were able to combine these scattered sands, but now that there is no external force, we have changed again to the original scattered sand. The Eye-Gouging Demon is far ahead of us, and soon after his victory, he disbanded his Celestial Alliance. Qinghuo said.
"Although our alliance has dissolved, there will be a time for us to cooperate with them in the future. However, the combination in the future may not be as simple as it is now, and the future cooperation must be because of the relationship of interests. Qinghuo paused and continued: "After we established this Flying Dragon Alliance, we all discovered that there is a very serious drawback in our development, that is, we do not have the corresponding economic ability to develop our alliance, and we can't follow the old path of the Jiangshan Alliance and do something that specializes in robbing players. If our alliance continues, it will bring down all of our teams. This is also a very important reason why our alliance must be dissolved. ”
