Chapter 103, Repair the Heavenly Punishment
"Quick, show me!"
The old man was so earnest that his wrinkled hands trembled and stretched out to Su Yao and the others, unwilling to put it down.
Shen Bing no longer persuaded her, she knew that for this persistent master, the spiritual pursuit was far beyond everything.
Fuxi strode forward, gently resting his shield on the ground, and then holding his hands steady. He didn't want a well-intentioned act to inadvertently hurt the dying old man.
"Not bad, not bad!"
The old man said in a trembling voice, his hands gently caressing the outline of the shield, as if caring for a newborn baby.
"What's its name?"
Fuxi then replied, "It's called Heavenly Oracle, and it's my partner!" ”
"Great, this is simply amazing!"
"The millennium iron mother is the main material, close to a ton of iron mother, I don't know how many days and nights it has been beaten to remove all its impurities, leaving such a large piece of iron essence!"
The old man said something that everyone couldn't understand, but Shen Bing was careful and listened very carefully.
"The most unique thing about this shield is far more than that, the builder boldly uses the ice water to cool it, if the heat and time are not well controlled, it will directly affect the hardness of the iron essence!"
"That's a risky idea!"
"It's ...... A tortoise's shattered shell? ”
The old man rubbed the powder around the oracle and put it on the tip of his nose, then stretched out his tongue and tasted it gently, oblivious to what kind of blood had ever been stained with the edge of the shield.
"Thousand toughness stone grinding?"
"Grandpa, is there really a thousand tough stones in this world?"
Shen Bing was shocked when he heard this, squatted down, and asked the old man.
"I can't be wrong in guessing, the shattered shell of the turtle is tempered with the thousand-year-old iron mother, and finally it is quickly cooled by the water of the Xuanbing water, leaving the hardest iron essence on the inside, and on the outside, it is polished with thousand-tough stone."
"It's worthy of an artifact, this is simply a masterpiece, I can't create an artifact, it seems that I'm too cautious!"
The old man sighed, turned and walked towards his chair, his steps very different from when he came, and his walk was extremely heavy.
"Wait a minute, old-timer!"
Su Yao stepped forward and said.
After listening to the old man's analysis, although he couldn't understand it, just because the old man could see so much from it after only reading the oracle for two minutes, this was obviously not an ordinary blacksmith.
"Excuse me, is there a way to fix this piece of equipment?"
Su Yao carefully rushed to the backpack and took out the crossbow body of Tianzhu, and the remaining parts were wrapped by him in a clean step and carefully placed in the corner of the backpack.
"It's an artifact again, broken?"
As soon as the old man sat down, he got up again, and his speed was three points faster than before.
"This ......"
The old man looked at the dim light again.
"If I'm guessing correctly, this weapon and the shield must have come from the same person!"
"Grandpa, can you see this?"
Shen Bing asked cautiously, but confirmed her conjecture in the next moment.
"I've told you a few times, but you just can't remember, my skills, do you want me to take them into the coffin?"
The old man hated iron and scolded Shen Bing.
"I repeat, you have to remember!" The old man knocked on Shen Bing's head and continued, "Everyone's habits cannot be changed, for example, signatures, it can be said that the handwriting is unique, even if others deliberately imitate it, even if it is similar, it cannot be exactly the same!" ”
"Look closely, here, here!" The old man pointed to the front and rear positions of the crossbow body, "The habit of the builder is from left to right, no more and no less every time he polishes, only 1 cm forward, and each position can be polished 100 times, no more than one time, no less, well-deserved craftsman!" ”
Su Yao's face was full of black lines, and he muttered in his heart, "You can see this, you can see the number of times you can polish it, isn't it really bragging?" ”
“……”
When Su Yao turned around, he saw Shen Bing nodding constantly, while the old man continued his tirade.
"From the structure, it can be seen that there was once a magic stone at the end, and the magic stone should be the essence of this weapon." The old man sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, the role of the magic stone is to provide kinetic energy!" ”
"But shouldn't kinetic energy be a crossbow? What's the matter with the magic stone? ”
A touch of relief finally appeared on the old man's face, and the apprentice was obviously thinking seriously about it when he could ask such a question.
"What if this magic stone is high enough to automatically refill it with crossbow arrows?"
Without waiting for Shen Bing to answer, the old man continued.
"Magic arrows can provide additional attributes, which can't be done with ordinary crossbow arrows, and the disadvantage is penetration. Metal arrows provide more penetration than magic arrows! ”
"Wouldn't that be a recipe for that? Instead, it affects the power, just to save time for reloading the crossbow arrows? ”
Shen Bing's heart was full of question marks at this time, she couldn't understand how a divine craftsman could make such a low-level mistake.
"This is the gap between the divine craftsman and our ordinary blacksmiths. This senior used special strings instead of our usual ones, so that the problem of penetration could be compensated! ”
"This piece of equipment can be regarded as an absolute masterpiece, even among the artifacts, it must be among the best. It's a pity......"
The old man sighed deeply, feeling sorry for this masterpiece.
"Grandpa, please!"
Shen Bing said seriously.
"You have to remember that everything is flawed, and nothing in the world is truly perfect!"
Without waiting for Shen Bing to ask, the old man continued, and such a topic, even Su Yao and others, who were not interested in craftsmanship, couldn't help but be interested.
"In the world, there are often many things that shine the most, but also its biggest flaw. If this piece of equipment wants to exert the maximum penetration, then the ideal material for the crossbow string is nothing more than dragon tendons! ”
"Dragon tendon!"
Everyone exclaimed, does a creature like a dragon really exist?
"Yes, but dragons are so rare and so powerful. If you want to defeat the dragon, I'm afraid only the strongest people at the peak of the continent can do it! ”
"Think about it, if other crossbow strings are broken, they can be easily replaced, so what if the broken dragon tendons are broken? Where to find it, where to replenish it? ”
The old man's voice was deeply imprinted into the hearts of everyone, with their current strength, even if they found the dragon, it would undoubtedly be a gift for others to stuff their teeth.
"Then if there is a dragon tendon, can it be repaired?"
Su Yao asked reluctantly, he just wanted to do something for Dawn, if the Heavenly Punishment could be restored, then Dawn might come back.
"The parts are gone, how can I fix them? The same material can be found and made, and it can't be completed in a few years, and my time is obviously not enough! Alas......"
The old man sighed weakly, but when the deadline was approaching, he had a lot less regrets about being able to see such a masterpiece.
"Go back, I'm tired!"
"The parts are still there, please ......" The flame of hope in Su Yao's heart had already burned, and he hoped that the old man could help him.
"Please, help me fix it, it's very important for one of my companions!"
Su Yao pleaded, carefully took out a cloth ball, and there were a lot of parts of Tianzhu, lying quietly in Su Yao's palm......
