Chapter 286: Famous Craftsman Xibo
"This is a firearm, Forrest Gump, where did you get it?" In Huttonmar's palace, Queen Skady played with the automatic pistol that Forrest Gump had given to the attendants, and she fired a few shots with great interest, and the roar alarmed the large group of guards, and it was only on the queen's orders that they dispersed.
"The effect of this weapon can only be said to be average, compared to the range of the longbow, not to mention that the principality still has a powerful weapon like the magic cannon, I don't think it is suitable for equipping the army." Queen Skady thought for a moment and said what she thought, Forrest Gump smiled bitterly, he thought the same way, but Carey said that he had a killer idea.
"Is this a hand cannon?" Seeing Forrest Gump Zuo take out a larger firearm, Queen Skadi couldn't hide her surprise, she had seen some of the hand cannons in the royal family's collection room, but no one had been able to remake the hand cannons for many years, and even Kelly, a celestial ranger, didn't know much about how to make hand cannons.
"Yes, it was Carey who asked me to present to the Queen, and he said that the Queen would be interested, and he asked me to say hello to Master Hipper, who is now in the palace's forge workshop."
"This kid knows a lot of things, it has been a long time since the famous craftsman of Xibo appeared in front of the world, and it is rare that there is still news." Queen Skady smiled, Hibo has been living in seclusion in the palace's forge for a long time, this news is not known to ordinary people, even some nobles do not know the whereabouts of the other party, and it is also because Hipo is annoyed by those who come to the door to make weapons, so he will find the reason why Queen Skady entered the palace forge workshop.
"It's really in the palace's forge workshop." Forrest Gump Zuo was also shocked, how could this guy Kaili know everything, you must know that the name of Hipo was not only spread in the Duchy of Belmar, even if the entire Arad continent could hear his name, Forrest Gump Zuo also wanted to visit him and ask for weapons but never found the whereabouts of the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to hide in the palace.
"Now that you already know, then come with me, I'll take you to meet the famous craftsman Xibo, he has been quite idle recently, and he hasn't made a move, just instructed other forgers to forge equipment, and he put a lot of effort into it when the magic cannon was forged." Queen Skadi motioned for her attendant to follow with a tray with a cannon, and then stepped down from her throne, and Forrest Gump stood up and followed him towards the interior of the palace.
The kingdom's forge was huge, and it was rarely visited by outsiders, except for the occasional loud sound of a forge hammer falling on the desk, it looked like an uninhabited courtyard at all times.
There were only two inconspicuous guards standing guard at the door, and when they saw Queen Skady coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, but they didn't expect Her Majesty to be interested in visiting the forge today, why didn't anyone tell them in advance? The two guards looked down at the ground and thought worriedly.
"Come in with me." Queen Skady beckoned to Forrest Gump, and then entered the forge area, where there were mostly rows of stone houses, and various burning stoves were placed in rows, and blacksmith apprentices were working hard to pull the seals, and they didn't have time to wipe them with sweat.
"What about the master craftsman, are you sleeping again?" The person in charge of the forge quickly got the news of Queen Skady's arrival, he ran with beads of sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he was also busy before, and after hearing Queen Skady's question, the person in charge wiped his sweat and said: "No, the master craftsman of Xibo is opening the furnace and is building weapons." ”
"Yo, it's rare, take me to see it." Queen Skady is interested, Xibo rarely opens the forge once a month these times, why is she interested today?
"Substitution! Don't stop bellows! Hippo was standing beside the great forge at the moment, and behind him was a sturdy forge with a huge hammer lying horizontally.
Xibo looked about forty or fifty years old, but his actual age was much older than he looked, but because he was also a martial artist, he aged very slowly, and normal people were already gray-haired at his age.
He and Wang Yan in the snowy region of the ancient Gulin is a close friend, the two often communicate with each other, occasionally visit each other to talk, a few days ago he received a letter from the ancient Gurain, which also has the design of the hand cannon, which makes the ancient Gulin interested, the old friends have forged all kinds of quality of hand cannons, he feels that he can not lag behind, and therefore the forging furnace is rekindled.
After Queen Skady and her party arrived, Xibo also saw each other, he shook his head, motioned to the disciples on the side to take over the work of taking care of the forge, and then came to Queen Skady: "Your Majesty, how do you have time to come here?" ”
"I'll introduce you to someone, this is Forrest Gump's left sword saint, I believe you also know him." Queen Skady waved her hand, and then introduced Forrest Gump to Hipo.
"I naturally know the name of the Hidden Dragon Sword Saint, I heard that he was canonized as a first-class nobleman by the Duchy? Congratulations! Xibo looked at the burly Forrest Gump and nodded, the other party is powerful and has an excellent reputation, and he is also one of the few martial artists that Xibo values more, although the two have never really met.
"Hello, Master Hipo, salute for your contribution to the forge." In the face of Xibo, Forrest Gump is very humble, the other party has made a lot of contributions to the principality over the years, but many people don't know it, he is naturally clear.
"I'm just a blacksmith, what can I do without forging things? It's just my job, there's nothing to brag about. Hibo waved his hand, and then he saw the hand cannon on the waiter's tray next to him, and his eyes lit up: "Is this a hand cannon?" Where did it come from? ”
"This was sent by a little friend of Forrest Gump, and he also entrusted Forrest Gump Zuo Sword Saint to say hello to you." Queen Skadi smiled and told the origin of the cannon, and Forrest Gump added on the side: "I met Kairi in the Bantu camp in the snowy region of Ston, and the other party knows Master Gugulion, and I believe that it is from there that I also know the news of Master Hipo. ”
"It turns out that this old man Gugulian leaked my news, and the next time I see it, I will definitely say that he will be beaten, no, you say his name is Carey? The Celestial Carry? Hibo laughed angrily when he heard the news, this old friend of Gugulian is really uncomfortable.
He reacted before he finished speaking, the name of Carey seems to be very familiar, by the way, the name is mentioned in the letter of Gu Gu Lian, as if the design of the hand cannon was provided by the other party, Gu Gu Lin also created an artifact quality hand cannon mixed with the blood of the ice dragon for the other party, Gu Gu Lin used a lot of words to boast about this.
