Chapter 203: Weapons Out
Father...
Four burly men stood in front of the old man in a row.
Today, adults need to customize a batch of weapons, and thanks to the care of adults, our family can settle here and live a stable life, so I think that the hammer of weapons will be unsealed and this batch of weapons will be forged for adults.
Father... The leading boss seems to have something to say.
The old man stretched out his hand directly, interrupting the boss's next words.
Okay, I've made up my mind, so don't talk about it, and then you take a few of them and hand over the work to the others, and you concentrate on forging the weapons of the adults with me.
Be... Dad, you must complete the task.
Then the old man said to me respectfully: "My lord, I don't know what kind of weapon you want to customize, and if you have any drawings."
Well... There are drawings, you look at them to see if there are any problems, and then I hand over the drawings I made.
The old man took the drawings, and his brows gradually twisted into a Sichuan character.
I didn't speak, and looked at the old man lightly.
After looking at the tea for a long time, the old man looked away from the drawings and looked at me.
My lord, your weapon, judging from the drawings, is 3 feet 6 inches long, 1 inch 1 inch wide, and 1 centimeter and 5 millimeters thick, but the tip in front of this is oblique, plus this groove in the middle, it looks a bit nondescript.
Well.. Elder Zhu, let me explain, this sword is not just a sword, it is also a knife when necessary. You see the thread at the end of the hilt, which can be combined with the scabbard.
In this way, once connected, it takes the shape of a machete, and thus becomes a long-range attack weapon.
Then Zhu Lao looked at it seriously again, then gasped, pointed to the blood groove in the middle, and whispered, if this sword pierced into the body, it wouldn't be blood spraying here, right?
Well... Yes, I call it a blood trough. I don't know if Zhu Lao can build it.
No problem, don't worry, my lord, I'll build a sample sword for you to see, and if there is no problem, start to concentrate on forging. The old man said confidently.
Good... There is still a lot of ink and silicon in my county guard's mansion, and I will ask someone to send it to you later, and there are still any materials missing, so please trouble you to put it on first, how much does it cost to forge a handful, and quote it directly.
My lord... What's so embarrassing about that? You've got all the materials, this...
Okay, don't say that, let's do it, it depends on the level you build, level 9 mortal soldiers will give you 500,000 handfuls, level 10 800,000, what do you think?
My lord... This can be tormenting to the old man, but I can't help it, I don't use so much, I don't use so much, if you use a mineral material with excellent toughness like ink and silicon, and add some other mineral materials, it is estimated that you can create a level 10 mortal soldier.
If you need to go up, the current decrepit net worth does not have such materials. So you don't need so much, my lord, 100,000 handfuls, you see?
This... Isn't it cheaper?, I said, frowning.
My lord... The old family can live here happily, the family has gone lucky, and they can only barely survive in Tianqian City before, but now they are here, and they are very different, so adults don't have to bargain!
Good... The many county soldiers who represent my Feixi County below, thank you to Elder Zhu. After saying that, I bent down and clenched my fists and bowed.
My lord... I can't help it, I can't help it!
Zhu Lao, yes, I may need your help in the future. In this way, I will wait here, you can quickly build a sample sword and see if there is anything that needs to be modified, I don't know what you think, Zhu Lao?
Good... My lord, you go to the front hall for tea, and I will go into battle myself. The old man said excitedly.
Good...
Then I walked out of the fire hall, and the old man was still standing there, holding the drawings in his hand, just looking at the four sons and several apprentices below.
You've all seen it, right?" the old man said lightly.
Well...
Is there anything else to say, is there any significance to the old man's decision?
Father... The county keeper is a good official, we admit this, but if the enemy knows, will it...
Don't worry, this is not a moat city, I can't help them, and in the future, our Zhu family iron shop will be renamed the Zhu Family Weapon Pavilion. I'm sure the county guard will keep us safe.
Good... it, Dad, I'm afraid of a ball...
Well... Dad, it's done, we've been holding back for decades, enough is enough, let's do it.
The rest of the people nodded in unison, indicating that they were dry.
Good... Since they all agree to do it, then open the furnace, Lao Tzu personally the hammer today, goes, and takes out the ancestral weapon hammer.
Be...
Next, the old man pulled the placket of his shirt, revealing half of his strong chest.
Then, the rhythmic jingling sound came from the entire fire hall.
I was sipping tea in front of me, waiting, there were a few children playing there in the yard, it seems that this is really ancestral, from the old man to the current great-grandson, everyone is also enviable.
In less than 3 hours, I was waiting for a boredom and almost went to play with the kids. Zhu Lao held a scabbard in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and hurriedly walked over.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
It's okay, Zhu Lao, what kind of sword is this? Looking at the glittering long sword in Zhu Lao's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Well... Although it is only a level 4 mortal soldier, its appearance is no longer bad at all, please take a look.
I took the long sword, took it in my hand and swung it a few times, it felt a little fluttery, and flicked it with my hand
Bite.... A sword roared, the sound was pleasant, and it was good.
Good sword... I couldn't help but praise. Then connect the hilt to the scabbard with a direct backhand.
"Click".
It was a long sword before, but it turned into a sharp machete in an instant. I swung it a few times, and it felt very smooth, but it felt a little lightweight.
Then he looked at Zhu Lao: Zhu Lai, I don't know if you have any suggestions? After speaking, he handed over the long sword.
Taking the sword, the old man carefully examined the following, and then slashed at the stone table.
Bang...
The whole stone table opened in the middle, split into two halves, and turned to both sides.
Then the old man looked at the sword again, and then remained silent.
After a cup of tea, the old man said seriously: "My lord, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Please say, Zhu Lao, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Well, I'll be blunt.
My lord, from the current point of view, both the beauty and sharpness have been verified, but from my point of view, the sword is not perfect. At its simplest, there is a flaw in this sword.
Judging from the current sample sword, I personally don't feel that it is practical to open the blade on both sides, and secondly, the thickness of the whole sword is the same, and when you cut hard, it is easy to break or crumble.
So, my lord, I recommend giving up the two-sided blade, leaving only the tip of the sword on the edge, and above I suggest a little thicker than the sword body, so that whether it is a stab or a chop, the effect should not be bad.
Not... I thought carefully about the old man's suggestion in my mind, and I thought it should not be bad.
Okay, Zhu Lao, then please go back to the furnace to reforge and take a look, and modify it according to your modifications, as for the weight, I feel that it is not too light.
Well.... Don't worry, this is just a sword, I didn't consider the weight, there should be relative adjustments later, you can rest assured, then you wait a while, I'll come.
Good... You're getting old and busy.
Sure enough, less than 2 hours later, the sword that had been rebuilt appeared in Zhu Lao's hand again.
My lord... Perfect, my lord...
Zhu Lao carried his sword and hurriedly ran over.
Well... The moment I saw the sword, my brain buzzed, and my eyes were fixed on the sword.
Beauty, the whole sword is like a beast out of the cage, giving people a sharp sense of oppression, the whole sword body is round, glowing with white light, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wings, it looks extremely sharp.
He took the sword and stroked it gently, and a sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
Click..
Attach the scabbard and brush it up in the courtyard. At this point, I wanted to give up the halberd and use this dual-purpose weapon.
Smack...
With my swing, inadvertently, the sword flashed, and a tree with the thick mouth of a bowl snapped.
Good sword... Zhu Lao, thank you, let's cast it according to this standard.
But...
Sir, please speak
I said with a serious face: Old Zhu, this sword is a unique weapon of our army, and it must not be passed on, except for the special sergeants of our army, no one is allowed to fall out, can you understand?
When the old man heard this, he was immediately startled, and almost knelt down, not if I reached out to help quickly.
My lord, don't worry, this sword is only supplied to the county guard, and the old man guarantees with the lives of the old and young that this sword will definitely not be built more, let alone exposed.
Well... Zhu Lao, I believe you, I hope you build this matter as soon as possible, the ore has been sent to you, if there is anything missing in the building process, just find Fugui directly.
That's right, then, here are 2 spirit stones, you take them, use them to buy ores, if it's not enough to give to wealth, as for those ores, how much can you build, how much can you build, understand?
The old man understands that he must live up to the trust of adults.
Good... I don't know how long it will take to build 108?
Adults, if you don't stop day and night, it will take at least 3 days. Zhu Lao Zhengse said.
Good... Then I'll give you 4 days, and after 4 days, I'll come and get the sword, then I won't bother, and I'll bring the sword back.
Good... The old man was busy, so he didn't send it to adults.
Well... You're busy. I'll go back first.
After saying that, I walked away, and it was getting late, and I was anxious to go back and show off my achievements with them.
I happened to meet Fugui halfway, so I didn't say anything, and walked all the way back. And Fugui's face was urgent, and he opened his mouth several times and swallowed it again.
There is something to say, swallow and spit out. I rolled my eyes and said.
Young master, don't you wonder why those people are following me today?
Rich... I stopped abruptly and looked at him.
Few... Master.
Fugui, you have been with me for the longest time, so I trust you as much as I trust myself, I don't ask, that's because I know that what you do must be right, this is trust in you, so don't worry about similar things in the future.
Be... As soon as these words came out, tears flashed in the eyes of the rich and noble.
Rub it... Big guys, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, walk around, on the street, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, I am afraid.
Hey... Tears burst into laughter.
[Isn't this weapon a little familiar to everyone? If you watch the TV series "Tang Brick", you should be able to feel that my weapon is borrowed from the long sword held by the heroine]
