D19. The most important thing is to be alive
Bang! Bang!
The blacksmith raised the hammer in his hand and struck the iron on the tongs at once, and each knock could reduce the impurities of the iron and make the iron more solid.
If you look closely, you can see that every time the blacksmith smashes down, his arm will tremble slightly, and the amplitude is very small.
This is the result of working for a long time and overloading the arm.
Ren Hai's gaze slowly shifted from the axe to the ironsmith, just heard correctly, the ironsmith seemed to be saying don't be confused by appearances?
I guessed wrong, but in fact, the mass of this axe is not heavy.
"What? Could it be that there is another mystery in this axe? β
The blacksmith slammed down again, making a piercing knocking sound.
"That's right, in fact, this standard axe throwing is hollow, whether it is an axe blade or an axe blade, it is hollow." The blacksmith showed an expression that you couldn't believe it.
Ren Hai was speechless, frowning, a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be such a design.
But in this way, the axe must have a fatal flaw, fragility, and a short attack range.
"I know, you must be wondering, is this standard axe throwing very fragile and has a short attack range?" While the blacksmith spoke, he still did not stop the work at hand.
Judging from the conversation just now, the blacksmith is obviously in a hurry.
"That's right, doesn't this standard axe have this flaw?" Ren Hai happily admitted.
"Not only is it not, but it's farther than a normal axe throw." After the blacksmith said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"How so?"
"It's because of the design of this axe, it's my fatherβ" The blacksmith paused for a moment, and then went on.
"Design? Your father? Ren Hai blurted out two questions in a row.
It seems that this standard axe comes from the hands of the relatives of this blacksmith.
"Hehe, little brother, I have said a lot today, so I won't mention the past."
It seems that his father must have been a very good blacksmith, or rather a designer.
Ren Hai walked in front of the blacksmith and watched him work, there was a small wooden table not far from the fire pit, on which was a drawing, on which was drawn a kind of arrow, very short, only about thirty centimeters, the head of the arrow was very peculiar, according to this length, this should be the arrow of a crossbow.
I didn't find it when I first came in, so could it be that this is the goods that the group wanted?
"I see your arm is shaking, you might as well take a rest." Ren Hai said.
If he hadn't bumped into those three people just now, he would have left now, but it was about this time to collect medicine, so it was naturally good to have some news.
The blacksmith smiled: "It's okay, there are many orders these days, and there is no such good business on weekdays." The smile on the blacksmith's face was real.
"Life is not easy..."Ren Hai sighed, his eyes locked on the small wooden table again: "What you want to do now is the kind of arrow on the table?" β
"Yes, arrow, don't underestimate this arrow, this kind of design, the entire envelope city, few people can make it."
Ren Hai seemed to have grasped some information, those three people knew that this kind of arrow could be made here, why did they just need this kind of arrow? Who is this master horse?
Caution made Ren Hai think about it a little more, he didn't want to see what happened yesterday again, and he must be careful this time.
"Not many people? It seems that the master's craftsmanship is really good, I don't know what to call the master! Ren Hai was afraid that the blacksmith would be suspicious, so he didn't ask any questions.
The iron master put down the hammer in his hand, shook his arm in the air to prevent the muscles from working for a long time and causing convulsions, and after a few shakes, he glanced at Ren Hai: "My surname is Ma, you can just call me Master Ma." β
"Okay, then next time I need it, I'll come to Master Ma again." Ren Hai said, and walked towards the door with the Tang knife in his hand.
When Master Ma saw Ren Hai leaving, his eyes were full of complicated looks, and then he turned to look at Ren Hai's back.
"Alas... Little brother, the Tang knife in your hand has some origins, I checked it, this is on the eighth production line of the sixth factory of the weapon processing factory in the envelope city, this knife should not be yours, uncle sees that you are young, and some things are not involved yet, so don't get involved. With that, he continued to tap the iron in his hand.
Just about to leave, after hearing Master Ma's words, Ren Hai stopped.
This Master Ma's performance yesterday was very normal, and he didn't look like a big man, but according to what he just said, he was able to find out the weapons produced by the processing plant?
Standard axe, special design, from the hands of his father, you can find out the origin of the standard weapon, plus the excitement of seeing the standard weapon yesterday...
What is hidden behind this Tang knife? Why is it in Aunt Shen's grocery store? Why was it put away by Aunt Shen? Legend has it that there is a big man in the envelope city behind Aunt Shen, so is it really to help Aunt Shen find herbs this time?
Ren Hai shook his head, it should really be looking for herbs, otherwise why are there detailed information about herbs, as well as specific locations, although it doesn't make sense, but on the whole, it is true.
Wait a minute... Why did Master Ma know so much about it? The standard Tang knife can only be regarded as a good weapon, and there is a super martial art on it, why do you remember it so clearly, is this master Ma?
My head was a little messy, so I just didn't think about it.
"I don't know how Master Ma learned the specific information of this standard Tang knife? If it's really on the production line, then there should be a lot of it, why can I confirm that this one of mine is the one Master Ma said? β
Puzzled, Ren Hai still has to ask, if his sister is safe, after encountering these things one after another, he will probably choose to give up directly, but his current situation, as Aunt Shen said, no one can help him except her.
This crescent forest must go!
"Look at the handle of the knife, there is a small string of numbers on it, above the standard weapons, including Chaowu, in the entire Xia Dynasty, every processing plant has a quota to produce, and every weapon has a number." The blacksmith answered Ren Hai's doubts.
Ren Hai glanced at it, and really saw a string of numbers, which should have been written down when he measured the basic data yesterday.
"Also, I just look at you young, you seem to be an outsider, some things, it's not as simple as you think, look at me, being a blacksmith honestly, isn't it very good, living is the most important thing." After the blacksmith finished speaking, he continued to do the work at hand.
"Thank you Master Ma for reminding me." Ren Hai thanked him and left.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ren Hai directly embarked on the road to Pigeon Town, he had to go!
Master Ma revealed so much information, Ren Hai caught a key point from it, he is just an outsider, as long as he is an outsider, then many dangers can be spared, and everything is opportunistic.
