Lu Lao turned his head and saw Wu Xing's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, so he said: "That is a kind of pattern weapon, called 'Star Lock', as the name suggests, it is the purpose of sealing star power. Of course, if the Star Monarch wearing the 'Star Lock' is of high grade, he can also forcibly break free. However, in that case, the movement will be relatively large, and the detainees will be given time to respond. ”

Wu Xing sneered, shook his head and said, "What I want to say is not this one piece of tattoo. Baicaomen, isn't it a medical technique to help the world? How can there be such a poison?"

This time, it was Lu Lao's turn to smile and say, "Whether it is poisonous or not, it depends on how you use it." It is always the man, not the knife, who kills. ”

Of course, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zephyr Country do not need to disarm or resettle civilians, and there will naturally be leaders who will arrange the location of the camp, and four large camps will be set up around the car array. The carts became makeshift stakes, and each cart was tethered to seven or eight Northland horses, and when there were not enough, rows of stakes were erected in the snow. The reason why it is so troublesome is actually because detoxification still requires poisoning, and the people of the Xifeng Country Heavy Camp are burying a stove to boil water, preparing to pour a herbal soup with some plant fragrance for those northland horses to neutralize the toxins in their bodies.

Wu Xing was obviously stained with the general's light, and now in a large marching tent, sitting on a horse, waiting for the general to complete the disarming and changing clothes after the curtain. After all, the war is now over.

Lu Lao was sitting in another Mazha, closing his eyes and recuperating, sensing that Wu Xing was a little restless, so he asked in a low voice.

Wu Xing hesitated: "Did I say something inappropriate to offend the general? He always likes to call me 'kid' instead of calling me by name......

Lu Lao laughed, shook his head and said, "Where and where! You did, though, do a lot of things that the generals have been longing to do but have not been able to do. ”

Wu Xing was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Lu Lao replied: "For example, the horse formation broke into the camp, and the general watched from the city wall, it is estimated that he is more anxious than yourself, and even the two bed crossbows nearby have already ordered people to string ......."

"White Horse Guerrilla Acting General Qian Nanzheng is asking to see you!" someone outside the big tent said loudly.

"Let him in!" the general stepped out from behind the curtain, and by this time had changed into his regular cavalry uniform, but still wearing the blue-faced fanged visor, and sat on a horse tie in the center.

Just now, when the soldiers who helped disarming the armor opened the felt door, a middle-aged man who had red spots on his face and even began to peel his skin strode in.

Qian Nan was seeing Wu Xing in the big tent, and his surprise was not much less than that of Wu Xing, and the two looked at each other and smiled slightly, so they didn't communicate too much.

At this time, Qian Nanzheng was dressed as a barbarian, holding a thing wrapped in a animal skin cushion in both hands and presenting it to the general. The latter nodded, signaled, and Lu Lao got up to take it, and turned sideways to look at the contents of the animal skin cushion.

However, time seemed to stop suddenly, and Lu Cheng became a statue.

There was also a hint of inexplicability in the general's eyes, and Qian Nanzheng coughed lightly to remind Lu Lao.

Lu Lao came back to his senses at this time, like the animal skin cushion opened, and placed it at the general's feet.

It is a dark red square columnar crystal with a diamond luster on the surface of the oil lamps on the iron frames around it. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special.

Among the four people present, three of them turned their heads to look at Lu Lao and waited for him to follow.

"It's a piece of rutile, and it's rarely found in the south. Lu Lao said: "I also happened to see a relevant record on a fragment of the old calendar and the previous dynasty.......

"Report!"

The soldiers outside the tent interrupted Lu Lao's words, and the general had to shout at the felt door: "Report it!"

The soldiers opened the felt door, came to the general and bowed, and said loudly: "The car array has been searched, a total of 374 carts, three of which have hidden compartments and contain a number of tattoos. It has now been collected off-the-books. ”

"Bring it on!"

A few relatives rushed in through the felt door, opened dozens of wooden boxes, large and small, one by one and placed them on the blankets in front of the general, and then withdrew.

"It's a tattoo...... And it looks like it is, a bit like the mechanical structure inside the six-wheel hourglass clock, which should be linkable. Wu Xing saw that the other three were already squatting on the edge of those wooden boxes to take a look, so he also came over.

Wu Xing was just talking about it, but Lu Lao had already gotten his hands on it, took those tattoos in his hand one by one and compared them, and then selected seven or eight pieces and arranged them in a row individually.

Just when the general, Wu Xing, and Qian Nan looked at each other head-on, Lu Lao's right hand condensed a large amount of star power, and tapped on the first piece of tattoo in the first place.

Whew!

A bolt of lightning shot out from the first vein, as if through a chain of dark clouds, and instantly went to the last vessel, and then, as if it had been frozen, it just squirmed very slowly, very slowly, connecting all the veins.

And that's just the beginning.

Lu Laoqu stretched out his arm and rotated his elbow, and the seven or eight pieces of tattoos followed suit!

Seeing the shock on the faces of the other three people, Lu Lao sighed lightly, gathered his star power, disconnected the electric chain, and then spoke: "It seems that what is recorded on that fragment of the old calendar from the previous dynasty is true....... These patterns are used to make 'Titan puppets'. ”

Wu Xing subconsciously stretched out his hand, and also wanted to try to manipulate those few pieces of tattoos in a similar way. Qian Nanzheng coughed lightly and glared at Wu Xing, who withdrew his hand with a sneer.

"The grade of the Three-Rank Star Venerable is just the minimum standard for manipulating the Titan puppet. Lu Lao finally showed a hint of a playful smile, and said to Wu Xing: "Boy, your grade still needs to be improved!"

Of course, now Wu Xing has been wandering alone for a while, and he can be regarded as having experienced, so he quietly diverted the topic, pointed to those tattoos, and said: "I heard that the materials of the tattoos are ever-changing, but these tattoos in front of me seem to be all iron?"

"These are not iron, they are steel. Lu Lao said while taking those patterns back into the wooden box: "At present, the most advanced steel-making process mastered by the blacksmiths of the Starfall Continent is that 'fine iron' is heated and forged more than 100 times, one forging, one weighing and one light, until the catties are no longer reduced, that is, hundreds of steelmaking. The purpose of repeated heating and forging is to eliminate inclusions and reduce the size of residual inclusions. As for the highest grade of steel, which is dark iron, it can only be obtained from star stones. You must know that the cutting of the star stone requires the use of Wenqu Xingzun's 'Star Thought'! Moreover, it is limited to this, if you want to further purify and upgrade the star stone dark iron, even the Star God Temple can't do anything!"

"But 100 steels are already a magic weapon for sharpening iron like mud and blowing hair and breaking hair, isn't that enough?" Wu Xing was puzzled and asked.

"Xingzun has mastered the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, and this is not an exaggeration. Lu Lao shook his head and said: "Why do you want to pursue the quality of star stones? That's because some ancient inscriptions can only be carried by star stones, and even a hundred steels will be blown up by the huge power of the inscription 'Star Attached'." The star stones that can carry the inscription are left over from the old calendar and are enshrined as holy relics in the Star God Temple, and even the priests can easily not see them. Of course, there are one or two pieces of star stone pattern ware that have fallen among the people in the legend, but their owners must be secret, and this is not easy to verify. ”

Qian Nanzheng said thoughtfully: "In this way, it is very likely that the barbarians are already making Titan puppets, and they have actually purchased so many tattoos from the south. It's just that Bailian Steel is not unbreakable, at least the bed crossbow can pose a threat to Bailian Steel. It's just that the barbarians have hoarded so many iron billets, presumably at least with the calculation of winning by quantity, right?"

"I'm afraid not. Lu Lao pointed to the piece of ore at the general's feet with a solemn face, and said, "If such a piece of rutile can be taken from their convoy transporting ore, it means that their purpose is not iron ore." ”

"To the north of the bitter cold land in the north, there are also two stele forests in the extreme north, which are the 'royal city' of the barbarian golden family and a holy land. There are even rumors that those two stele forests are another part of the Heavenly Court above the Nine Heavens Star Sea, which is about the production and control methods of the Titan puppet! This kind of gold and red ore is the basic material for making the Titan puppet. ”

Wu Xing came back to his senses and glanced at Qian Nanzheng, and the expression on the latter's face was really dumbfounded. Although the general wore the blue-faced fanged mask, his eyes were also dull.

Lu Lao paused for a moment, and then said, "Regarding the Titan puppet, the records on that fragment are somewhat vague. As far as I can guess, the biggest difference between a Titan puppet and an instrument array is that a large Titan puppet resembles a city, while a Titan golem resembles a cavalry, and it's hard to compare the two. But the city is there, and there are no feet. The difficulty of manufacturing the array makes it impossible to mass produce. ”

Wu Xing raised his hand and pointed to the tattoos on the blanket, and only then did he say after getting Lu Lao's approval: "Most of these tattoos have the engraving of the three inscriptions of 'pulling, strong, and attached', are they mass-produced?"

"Oh! That's the logo of the First Chamber of Commerce in the Mainland: 'far-fetched'. The so-called 'far-fetched', this is a loose association with Wenqu Xingjun as the main body, and its branches are distributed in the capitals of the seven countries, and some people even ridicule the 'far-fetched' branch is equivalent to the Star Temple. The general also came back to his senses at this time, and when he heard Wu Xing's question, he took over and said: "The biggest advantage of this association is that it is interconnected, and if you take over the extremely difficult order of the pattern, you can mobilize Wenqu Xingjun across the border to study the best plan for making the pattern, including the materials needed, and it can also be temporarily seconded." Moreover, another of the biggest features of this association is that it does not charge any gold and silver fees, only the materials are used as pen polishing fees. ”
