Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 27: Departure Again
The hammer in his hand was raised high, and then fell, and with a bang, the hot material on the iron felt was smashed into sparks, and with the repeated forging, a piece of cold iron ore was gradually forged out of the appearance of a long sword.
The red color on the sword embryo slowly faded, which meant that the heat was close to dissipating, and the hardness of the cooled cold iron was far greater than the iron hammer in his hand, so Yu Bin could only pick up the sword embryo that had just been roughly formed with heating tongs and stuff it back into the forging furnace.
Randomly took out two fiery red crystals from the wooden barrel next to him, Yu Bin threw this kind of fire element essence that could be sold for at least five hundred gold coins on the market into the forging furnace like ordinary charcoal, and the originally sluggish flame suddenly rose under the addition of the fire element in the spar, and the raging heat even increased the temperature of the entire room a lot.
A few minutes later, the cold iron sword embryo turned red again, and Yu Bin quickly put the sword embryo on the iron felt, and continued to forge it with the greatest strength.
It took more than a dozen pieces of fire element essence to finally forge a cold iron long sword, and then as long as the sword calyx was embedded, and then the handle of the long sword was wrapped around with a rope woven by a mixture of cow tendon and ghost vine grass, a freshly baked cold iron long sword was completed.
The next work is to polish the unevenness of the surface of the blade, and rub the blade surface again and again with stone fine sand until the entire blade surface is as smooth as a mirror.
At this point, the whole forging process is nearing the end, the last step is to open the edge, the opening of the cold iron must wait until it is completely cooled before it can be carried out, otherwise it will damage the tightness of the material, resulting in a significant decrease in the sharpness and solidity of the entire long sword. Yu Bin slowly dipped the cold iron sword in his hand into a barrel of grease extracted from the fat layer of the sharp-toothed plesiosaur in the misty sea, and the grease mixed with a large amount of spirits was no longer in a viscous liquid state, but was stacked together like balls separated from each other.
As the blazing long sword was inserted, the liquor wrapped in oil particles evaporated instantly, and the oil particles isolated from the air immediately fit tightly with the blade, and as the temperature of the grease continued to rise, the special ingredients contained in it also penetrated into the entire sword body little by little.
After waiting until there was no longer steaming wine, Yu Bin took out the cold iron long sword, and used a whole piece of sharp stone to carefully move slowly along the front line, from the handguard to the tip of the blade, every move must be done in one go, without a trace of pause, after every three moves, it must be smeared with the oil soap solidified by plesiosaur oil, and so on and so on, until the entire front line is sharpened into a mutually compatible section, the most perfect state is that the front and back two blade surfaces form an angle between 13 degrees and 15 degrees along the front line.
After sharpening the fronts on both sides, this cold iron longsword can truly be regarded as a sharp weapon capable of killing people.
Yu Bin raised the finished cold iron long sword in front of him, and the afterglow of the setting sun projected irregular curves on the ground along the undulations of the Anglis Mountains, following the sunlight, as if he could feel that the entire mountain range was split in half by this long sword.
Yu Bin nodded with satisfaction, inserted the long sword into the scabbard made of iron spine sharkskin nitrate, from noon until dusk, in order to forge this blue refined standard cold iron long sword, Yu Bin was engrossed in working for four hours in a row, without even a break in between.
From the beginning of forging the raw materials of cold iron ore into cold iron ingots, until the end of the opening, more than forty processes before and after, and nearly thirty different materials and materials were consumed, and finally succeeded in creating a standard weapon and equipment of the sixth-order black knight of the undead clan [Standard Cold Iron Long Sword], according to Yu Bin's calculations, not counting labor, the cost of materials alone exceeded 50,000 gold coins, if you count the materials wasted by Yu Bin's previous nearly ten failures, the forging cost of this long sword is definitely more than 200,000 gold coins.
Of course, compared to the cost of almost bankrupting a small guild, the attributes of this longsword are definitely worthy of his price.
【Standard Cold Iron Long Sword】【One-handed Long Sword】【Delicate】【Main Hand】
Required Level: 70
Damage: 207-255; Sharp: 6, Weight: 3.35kg, Material: Iron
[Special Effect 1]: Armor Piercing +20%.
[Effect 2]: Has a 15% chance to apply Corrosion and Freeze to wounds, dealing 70 Shadow Corrosion damage per second for 5 seconds, and reducing movement speed and attack speed by 5%.
[Equipment Description: Standard equipment, forged by Ice Whisper and Dry Bone.] 】
The average damage of 230 points is second to none among the Blue Refinement weapons, and the sharpness of a full 6 is even rarer, which is generally only possible with some special red rare weapons, plus a 20% armor-piercing effect (ignoring 20% of the target's base armor), which is enough to take the actual damage of this weapon up a notch.
As for the corrosion and freezing effects brought about by the second special effect, they are considered to be the characteristics of the cold iron itself, which are not too obvious in actual combat, and the 5% slowdown basically does not bring obvious advantages.
But if it's just such a small advantage, how can this weapon be worth his huge cost?
For a piece of equipment, in addition to looking at the attributes on his panel, it is also necessary to take into account compatibility and growth, compatibility is how many additional new materials can be added to a piece of equipment, blacksmiths can add some auxiliary materials on the basis of the original equipment, the equipment can be refined, the refined equipment will not change its main characteristics and functions, and at the same time, it can also add new effects according to the added auxiliary materials.
If you have to do this, you can only replace the original material with a better main material, which means that the weapon is not refined, but upgraded, and after the main material is replaced, the attributes and basic functions of the weapon will also change accordingly.
Cold iron is one of the more advanced main minerals of the undead, this material not only has very good stability, but also can fit with the power of death, and has a good room for improvement. Therefore, this is also the reason why this weapon can be used by the undead clan as the standard equipment of the sixth-order black knight, you know, in the undead clan where the production of bone dragons is not high, the sixth-order black knight has always been the absolute main force of the undead, and together with the fifth-order corpse witch, it forms the tactical core of the undead clan, and it can be used as a weapon of standard equipment by this main force, of course, there are special reasons for him.
"I think I can sell it for a good price!" Yu Bin said with a smile, put this long sword on the weapon rack in the warehouse, it will appear as a lot, at the auction held by Li Shouyi in New York, Yu Bin doesn't care how high the price of this long sword can be sold, the gold coin has no meaning to him except for a number.
When everyone saw the words "Ice Language, Dry Bone Forging" in the description of the equipment of this long sword, Yu Bin's purpose had already been achieved, and the expressions on the faces of the big men who participated in the auction must be very interesting, if it weren't for Yu Bin really couldn't leave, he really wanted to go to the scene to see it in person.
Closing the door of the warehouse, Yu Bin glanced up at the sky, the Anglis Mountains are located outside the territory of the undead, which is different from the cloudy scenery of the undead throughout the year, the Anglis Mountains, which are part of the Great Hengduan Mountains, are full of dense forests, and the clouds in the sky coincide at the same time, and the sunlight splashes on the earth through the gaps in the clouds, which makes people dizzy.
After such a long period of development, the territory belonging to Yu Bin has already had the rudiments of a city, with tall walls surrounding the entire territory, more than a dozen watchtowers and arrow towers five or six meters high distributed behind the city walls, as long-range forces, skeleton hunters and skeleton spearmen vigilantly monitor the possible dangers around them, ready to shoot the weapons in their hands at any time.
Within the city walls, well-planned buildings are scattered and paved with large stone roads leading from the city gate to the town hall, branching off in all directions, connecting the recruiting buildings.
Cemetery, cemetery, skeleton training center, spirit tomb, white bone hall, and the white bone stable and white bone calling place that Yu Bin values the most.
The inhabitants of the city are no longer the scattered chickens of the past, and from time to time you can see the skeletons, zombies and ghosts of the residents along the road to their destinations, and some of them will stop to talk to other undead NPCs, obviously with a higher intelligence level.
Since the undead do not need food, water and other living materials, the market area of Naxxramas is still very deserted, as for the death crystals necessary for the undead to live, they are uniformly distributed by the city hall according to the number of residents, Yu Bin now does not have to fight monsters to obtain the most important daily materials of the undead, as long as he is willing to spend gold coins, some people help him collect this kind of thing, not to mention, now there is only one player lord in the entire undead clan, and no one robs him, so the death crystals are a complete buyer's market, Don't worry about it, just worry that no one wants it, and thanks to this advantage, Yu Bin can not only buy a large number of death crystals at a very low price, but even hoard a large number of this strategic material.
Compared with the deserted market area, the craftsman area is much more lively, the blacksmith shop has been expanded many times, and has become a large building complex, with three blacksmith shops and nine forges, so that the never-ending hammer knocking sound echoes here every day, relying on these blacksmith shops and seven blacksmiths, Yu Bin not only let all the soldiers of Naxxramas wear a full set of equipment, but also took over a lot of tasks from other undead NPC lords to make low-level standard equipment, relying on this way, To improve the proficiency of those Naxxramas blacksmiths, Yu Bin's goal is to strive to cultivate a Naxxramas own high-level blacksmith, or even a master blacksmith.
Next to the blacksmith shop is the carpenter's room, which is relatively small, so far, there are only two carpenters in Naxxramas, and the level is not high, so they can't complete the more difficult equipment manufacturing, they can only make some wooden shields and simple carts used to transport resources, Yu Bin wants to produce his own ballistas, ballistas and catapults This dream of war equipment can only continue to wait.
In addition, there are alchemy workshops for making potions, leather factories for leather armor, tailors for weaving clothing, etc., all of which either lack enough craftsmen or raw materials, and most of them are closed.
Yu Bin walked slowly along the road, inspecting the territory that had poured a lot of his heart and soul into it, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Don't think that Yu Bin is infinitely beautiful outside, go to the Whispering Forest to slaughter a city today, and go to the Silver Pine Forest tomorrow to destroy a country, but if you really have to calculate it strictly, he still spends more time on the territory, as long as he has time, Yu Bin will return here and personally plan the development of the territory.
Everyone thought that Yu Bin was at the peak of the player by relying on his strong personal strength, only a few of them knew that it was actually nothing at all, and the real horror was Naxxramas behind Yu Bin.
Not to mention anything else, after such a long period of development and accumulation, just the lowest-level 0-level troops, Naxxramasli can easily pull out more than 3,000 troops, and it is also the highest level form of full level, plus fully armed, pulling out to destroy a guild with less than 5,000 people is really as simple as eating and drinking.
(Don't think that the player's individual combat is strong, and the war is strong, these are completely two different ways of fighting, just like the previous Crow Ridge, in terms of level and strength, any one of the elites in the group of Yanyu Hongchen is higher than the member level of the hunting regiment and is well equipped, but in the face of the unified deployment and unified command of the hunting regiment, the so-called elite players can only be easily exterminated, unless a player like Yu Bin who is absolutely crushed in equipment or level, can ignore the number of low-level troops and walk freely on the battlefield, This is the same as a small number of high-tier units crushing a large number of low-tier troops. )
However, although the number of lowest-level troops such as Skeleton Hunter and Bone Warrior is huge and increasing, Yu Bin is most satisfied, and the two classes in front of him are the most important.
Standing in front of Yu Bin were a full two hundred soldiers, wearing a set of cavalry light armor made of black iron mixed with a small amount of Mithril outside the thick skeleton, a black iron cavalry spear in his hand, and the white bone war horse under his crotch was also covered with an iron horse armor, one hundred and fifty white bone tramplers stood silently, ready to launch a deadly charge with the cavalry spear in their hands, these white bone tramples were not only the highest grade of the white bone knights, but also all of them were above level 80.
Behind the Bone Stomper are a full fifty Bone Summoners, armed with red gold staffs, Mithril gilt tiara on their heads, purple shadow soul robes, and spirit summoner boots at their feet, each of them has been promoted step by step from the lowest level of bone wizards, and what they are best at is to use the staff in their hands to summon a solid bone wall, divide or surround the enemy, and then use bullet-like bone teeth and rocket-like bone spears to turn enemies into bone powder and become materials for strengthening the bone wall.
This is Yu Bin's trump card, a super corps that has spent a lot of gold coins and materials to build, in order to arm these high-level soldiers (for player lords like Yu Bin, the third-order and fourth-order troops are indeed high-level troops, after all, it is almost impossible to recruit sixth-order and seventh-order troops on their own, and the requirements for the territory are too high and too high) to the teeth, Yu Bin even gave up the great opportunity to go to the Jerimanca Desert to fish in troubled waters, Whether it is the resurrected kingdom of Shahra or the army of elves and demons who have suffered heavy casualties in order to destroy the Lord of the Yellow Sand, they are all prey that can bring a lot of benefits to Yu Bin.
But at this moment, looking at these soldiers standing in front of him, Yu Bin did not have any dissatisfaction, they were the ones he relied on to dare to step into the underground world again, the hole cards that he dared to participate in the crazy plan of the Shadow Witch Elveira, and the basis for him to dare to achieve his goals in the upcoming turmoil.
At this moment, Yu Bin felt a trace of pride!
He looked up at the sun that was slowly sinking behind the Great Hengduan Mountain Range, and said to himself, "At this time, the first phase of the Mobiris Project should have begun!" The chaos of the Barrens, the instigated centaurs and boarmen, and the orcs and lizardmen who want to drive away the minotaurs and bring Mogoray and the Barrens under their control, the Great Plains will be full of flames this night! ”
"But that's just right!" Yu Bin drew his weapon and pointed obliquely at the sky, with Yu Bin's movements, in the eyes of the originally quiet and solemn white bone trampler and white bone spell caller, the dark blue soul fire burned violently, and they all let out a silent cry towards the sky, which was the horn sound they made with the soul fire in their bodies, "Sky City will become the focus of those players, and Mo Gaolei will drag down the careerists in those few body devouring snakes, but when I succeed, they will know that the real winner is only me!" ”
"Onward! My soldiers! Bring death to your enemies! Dead enemies are allies!! ”
