Chapter 35: Crafting Weapons

The next day, after getting up early, after training with the guards below for 2 hours, I was quite satisfied with watching them sweat on the training ground. As for why Grandpa didn't ask himself about the guards last night, he was also relatively confused, and it stands to reason that Grandpa must have asked. Hi.. Don't ask, don't ask. Small whole seeds. Let's go, let's go out. Go to the workshop.

Okay, young master.

Stepping out, looking east, looking west, walking to the workshop, it was relatively deserted, and the weapon shop next door was more popular, and nodded a little puzzled, I couldn't understand why, according to reason, it shouldn't be now. simply stopped paying attention, stepped into the workshop, and just when the shopkeeper came out, he saw Su Xiao at a glance.

Master, why did you have time to come here today?

Well.. If you're okay, find a small room and I'll draw you a drawing, which is top secret and not allowed to be distributed.

Looking at the young master's serious expression, Rima withdrew his playful expression and nodded, Young master, follow me.

Walking into a hut, Su Xiao opened his mouth and said, at present, the guards in the mansion are basically using knives, diagonal waist knives, which look very handsome. However, the waist knife is not easy to handle, the lethality is insufficient, and it is okay to practice the hands in general, and the person who really fights with the knife is not used. So, I'm here today to do it all over again. I'll draw you a drawing first, you see, after speaking, I drew the appearance of a Tang knife, from the position of the tip of the knife, opened the blood groove, the blade of the knife is getting thinner, and the back is slightly thicker, so that there is not only the shape of the Tang knife, but also increases the weight of the current one, so a combination, it can be called perfect, three feet long, the widest place is less than 1 foot, the back line design of the stream, can be cut, can be stabbed. What's the matter, shopkeeper, are you changing with a professional eye?

Young master, this knife uses drawings to see, the part of the handle feels a little shorter, if it is increasing a little, it is estimated that two hands can hold it, like that, the beauty is not as good as it is now, but when blocking, you can hold the knife with both hands, blocking, from last night's situation, this knife should be able to, the rest is the middle of this, this seam, or called a groove, I don't know what the specific use is.

Shopkeeper, what about this, it's called a blood tank, for example, our current knife is flat, if you stab into the enemy's body, if you don't pull it out, do you think it will shed a lot of blood?

Surely not.

That's right, with this blood trough, even if you don't pull it out, due to the effect of blood flow, blood will gush out along the blood trough, like a blood arrow, you can't stop.

Uh, young master. Wouldn't it, it would have that effect?

Hehe, you'll know it after it's made, let's go, go to the weapon shop, hit the simple ones first, try the overall effect, and see if there are any other things that need to be modified.

Okay, young master, if you go this way, you can go directly to the weapon shop.

Entering the weapon shop, there was a sudden noise of noise, in front of the crowd of buyers, and behind was the sound of the masters working overtime to build weapons, and the sound of clanging was endless.

Lao Wang, where did you go?

Oops.. came, there was a new order, but I was tired enough, and after speaking, I grabbed the water bowl and poured a bowl of water.

Lao Wang, what eyes, this is the young master.

Oops, it turned out to be the young master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, I didn't go to the house for a meeting, I can't recognize you, don't be angry.

The hard work of the shopkeeper Wang, not in the way, came today, I just want to tell you one thing, the drawings are on the body of the shopkeeper, I hope you are alone, no one knows, build alone, make sure to keep it secret, first hit a sample knife out, the level does not matter.

Okay, then I'll look at the drawings first.

Take it to Lao Wang.

Hiss...... I've never seen this knife, this one is a bit troublesome, what's going on with the groove in the middle?

Do you think you can build it?

I think about it, see what to do

About a cup of tea, a pat on the thigh, into it, so it should be no problem, how to build it has been confident.

Can the shopkeeper be built?

Back to the young master, let's take a look at the specifics first, it should be no problem.

Let's go, find a secluded place.

Okay, come with me.

Walked to a place and lifted the cover, revealing the stairs.

Wang, what is this?

Oh, this is where we developed it, and when we encounter a special weapon, we will go down to build it, and leave a sample, and after speaking, we will go down.

There is a lot of space at the bottom, there is a building table in the middle, the flame is not extinguished, and the back is the material, all kinds of mineral materials are in the back, what is that, the temperature inside is a little high, young master, if you can't stand it, go up first.

It's okay, you fight first, I think it might help.

Okay, then I'll leave you alone. After speaking, he walked to the back and took a piece of black iron ore, threw it into the furnace, and after a while, it began to soften. Take it out, start beating it with a hammer, repeat it a few times, and then slowly hammer it out in the shape of a knife, this knife shape comes out, that is, the blood groove is difficult to get, put the whole knife into the furnace and start calcining, and then the whole knife begins to soften and take it out again, pick up the carving knife and prepare to carve, but this side is not finished, the knife has cooled, and it is no longer in the shape of a knife, looking at the failed knife, scratching the hair, I don't know what to do. This, the moment it is softened, it is deformed by the action of force.

looked at the shopkeeper who had been in a daze with the waste knife, and didn't bother him, and looked at the things in the space below by the way, because Su Xiao didn't know what to do at this time, because he had only seen it before, but he had never hit the iron. How do you know that the blood groove is opened, this is only the lowest, it is estimated that the carving knife will not be carved after the advanced level, and there is no advanced carving knife here, so, with the carving knife, it must not work, and it cannot be mass-produced, 60 knives If you forge it, you have to fight it to the year of the monkey.

Walking around and seeing that the shopkeeper had squatted down at this time, holding his head, he should be thinking, walked up, patted his shoulder, what is that, the shopkeeper, you can change your thinking, I will give you some advice, why don't you carve out the model first, remove impurities in the pounding of the ore, and finally calcine it into molten iron and pour it in, and open the blade in forging, no, it's good, try.

That's right, the young master said that the team, used to be forged and beaten, never thought of this, wait and wait, I'll come, rummaging through the material, looking for a piece of material with a big one, the young master This is dark iron, the most resistant to high temperatures, I'll hit it out first, try it in the engraving, and start to dry it without waiting for a reply after speaking

What's that, shopkeeper Wang, I'll go out for a walk, it's almost fine, call me.

Okay, young master, let's go.

Walk up the stairs and walk towards the hall, the hall at this time is extremely hot, from the hoe used for production, to all kinds of weapons, there is constantly noisy, looking at the busy energy of the little two in front, smiled, found a middle-aged uncle, and asked, big brother, there are so many weapons shops, why do you have to buy them in the weapons shop of the Su family?

I said this little brother, you don't know this! This is what we have all discussed, the last time I went to see the old marquis, the old marquis confiscated nothing, the old marquis in order to defend the city, a few days and nights did not close his eyes, they were all on the city wall, eating and drinking with the soldiers, if there was no old marquis, it is estimated that this capital, relying on the group of officials who only know how to eat and drink, and can be a blessing can be defended. Therefore, the old marquis saved the lives of the entire capital. Therefore, what do we need, now we buy it from the Su family's shop, the price is also fair, the quality is trustworthy, I have taken a fancy to the knife, ready to go out hunting, this knife is only 20 silver coins, not expensive, and the 2nd order knife is at least 25 silver coins outside. So, fair.

Thank you brother for the answer, you are busy first, I'm looking.

I said young man, if you want to buy weapons to practice your hands, you can buy them from here, they are all freshly baked, and there are no old goods.

Well, okay big brother, I'll take a look, I'll buy it from here if I need it.

It's still lovely to look at this group of kind people. Turned, and returned to the back, the back can be described as in full swing, part of the creation of commonly used weapons, guns, knives, swords, etc., this kind of fast, just divided into classes, so different levels of forgers, to create different levels, each forging division is followed by two apprentices, running before and after the delivery of ore, the remaining small part is in the creation of high-level, or special needs of weapons, such as full moon scimitar, whips and the like, in short, more complicated, not a moment and a half will be able to build. Well, yes, no one cares about themselves, they are all working hard. Go back and tell your mother that it's hard to give them a little salary increase. After reading them, go down the stairs again, at this time, after cooling a piece of iron plate on the building table, the king shopkeeper began to take the measured things, began to draw the shape of the knife, very seriously, after the painting, from the picture is already the shape of a knife, in the handle position also painted a spiral, in this way, greatly reduce the probability of slippery, after drawing, look carefully, and look at the drawing. Young master, look, what kind of medicine has been changed?

Well, yes, yes, you carve it first, remember, blood groove, don't have a groove at the top, you have to leave a prism, you know no.

Well, I know, young master, then you can see, after speaking, the carving knife flew up, the iron was sharpened, and after a while, the entire knife body came out, and the last blood groove began to be slowly portrayed, for fear that the hand would shake, it would be scrapped, slow work and meticulous work, more than 1 hour, the overall mold has begun to take shape, only the last polishing remains, to grind the inside smooth and visible figure. So it's a lot of work.

Well, almost, you forge it first, melt it into molten iron, and then pour it in and see.

Okay young master, this time I didn't beat it straight, and then threw the black iron ore into it, and when it was almost melted, I took it out, and after hitting it dozens of times quickly, the volume has been reduced a lot, and then I put it in and started calcination, and after all the calcination into molten iron, put the mold on the forging table, and then carefully pour the ore that has been turned into molten iron into the mold.

In a few moments, a dark knife took shape, and with a slight sip, the knife fell on the forging table.

Come, I'll take a look, I took the knife in my hand and waved it a few times, it feels pretty good, the blood groove is relatively rounded, the handle feels good, and the whole is heavy. Not bad This knife, but unfortunately there are no monsters, beasts, otherwise, try the knife.

Young master, yes, there are a few wild boars in the backyard, they are in captivity, ready to kill and eat meat, if you want to try the knife, you can go over and have a look.

Good.. Let's go, go try the knife.

When he arrived at the place of captivity, he threw the knife to the king's treasurer.

Shopkeeper Wang, don't chop, if you can't try anything, you can stab it directly, and you must stab it to the location where there is a blood groove.

Okay, young master, look at it.

Jumped in, stabbed it directly, and as a result, the blood spurted out along the blood trough, and the king shopkeeper snorted, and with a magnetic sound, he pulled it out, and it felt smooth.

Master, this ......

Now you see the power of the blood tank, right? The effect is not bad, that's it, after you go back, find a way to make this knife above the 6th order, you can do it yourself, and you can consider the weight yourself. But remember, this knife can't flow out, can't be sold, can't let others know, must be kept secret, it's up to you to create things, or find a few people who have believed in it to help you, you must remember it yourself. This knife is only for my Su family, after the mold forging is completed, it will be burned directly, the king shopkeeper, have you remembered the data?

Well.. Remembered.

Well, after speaking, I threw the drawings directly into the furnace, these 60 knives, built within 1 month, including the blade, there is no problem.

Back to the young master, I must ensure that it will be completed, only early, not late, even if I don't eat, I will complete it, and it will be completed to the letter.

Well, okay, it's all built, packaged well, don't leak it, send it to me attached, you need to use it, you can report it directly to my mother.

Okay young master.

Then I'll take this knife back, and you keep busy. Xiao Quanzi, take the knife and let's go.

Okay young master, take the knife and follow step by step.
