Chapter 63: Weapons
In the early morning of the second day, all the clansmen woke up early, ate, and prepared for the day's work, and everyone's faces were filled with happiness from the bottom of their hearts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After breakfast early, Berry carried the captured mace at the door of the tribe, ready to assemble the hunting party, today he was going to go out to do a big job, some time ago because the tribe was attacked, there were many wounded, so he has not gone to hunt again.
However, yesterday in one day, not only did the wounded basically all recover their combat effectiveness, but the strength of all of them also increased several times, so yesterday Berry informed the big guy that he was going to hunt this morning.
The team members were also eager to try, and there were a number of young men who were not part of the hunting team who wanted to go hunting with them. During this time, they can be said to have eaten and drunk for nothing, and they have improved their strength in vain, which makes them very unaccustomed to working hard to gain in the past, and they want to work hard to find their sense of existence.
When he brought back the big rooster from the bazaar and stood on the fence of the tribe and craned his neck for the third time, all the hunting team members had already assembled, and the whole team gave people a feeling of being full of energy and eager to try, full of vitality.
"It's all ready, then we're ready to go, let's go a little farther today, to find trouble with porcupines or something" Phillips, who has always been very serious, couldn't help but joke happily when he saw the spirit of the team.
"Okay~ Then let's go out..."
"Wait a minute... Uncle Berry, you wait."
Berry turned his head to look back, and saw Ruya's eyes squinting as if he hadn't woken up yet, and he was running like he was coming from this side in his coat.
"What's the matter, little Ruya" Berry listened to Luya's tone, which didn't seem to be in a hurry, so his tone was also relaxed.
"That's the case, Uncle Berry, didn't you bring another batch of iron ore last time, I told Uncle Tie two days ago to let him give you a weapon, yesterday, Uncle Tie told me, saying that it will be fine today, didn't I come to let you go and see it together" Ruya trotted all the way over.
"This~ really" Berry's face was full of joy.
"Of course, didn't I tell you some time ago, I promised you that it would definitely be realized, but the current Iron Uncle's skills may not be so good, this time I will give you a handful of use, and then I will make you a better one." Let's go, I'll take you to see it. As he spoke, Ruya pulled Berry towards the iron-striking area.
"Let's divide into two teams today, Risotto and Bhutto, you two be careful when fighting" Berry was pulled by Ruya and did not forget to turn around and order, and then in the envious eyes of those hunting team members, he went with this Rua to witness the birth of his weapon.
Now it is true that the tribe has guns and body armor, but after all, there are still limitations, once you encounter that kind of speed-type opponent or when fighting cautiously, firearms are definitely not as convenient as cold weapons, and the wildness in the bones of the orc clan is also very eager to have a weapon that can be opened and closed on the battlefield again, and the hearty battle is hearty.
Full of anticipation and apprehension, Berry finally followed Ruya to the iron-striking area, which was now surrounded by a high fence and became a small independent area within the tribe, and the keeper of the gate was the bald head who was napping in front of the door.
"Get up" Luya kicked the bald head Qiang's ass that was blocking the doorway.
"Boil..." The bald head groaned, didn't raise his head, moved his hips to open the door and continued to sleep.
"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, what will you do, and go out to find something to eat by yourself in the future" Lu Ya turned his head and said a few words to the bald head.
Bai Lifu, who followed behind, twitched a little at the corner of his eyes, who has such a powerful war pet, and doesn't pet and protect it every day, Lu Ya is good, let such a powerful demon bear watch the door, and don't want to give food, it's a bit inhuman to think about it.
But then again, Bai Lifu also thinks that the bald head is indeed too edible, and the meat brought back last time was basically eaten by it, and this guy is not a vegetarian.
"Jingling" sound of striking iron, at this time the ironing area has been divided into several small areas, a into the ironing area, on both sides is piled up one person high iron ore raw ore, these iron ore content is extremely high, Lu Ya roughly estimated that there is about 70% of the iron content, belongs to high-grade hematite rich ore.
Further in were two simple straw huts standing side by side, two under each shed, a total of four iron furnaces, each with a large iron felt, and at this moment in front of these four iron felts stood the slaves who were beating the iron on the iron felt, and in the baskets at their feet there were more than a dozen or less crude spearheads.
Winter is approaching, and the temperature in the morning is already very low, but seeing their bare shoulders and sweating like rain, Lu Ya still understands that it is not easy to strike iron.
Passing through the two straw huts and further inside, there is an open field, in the center of which is a simple earth blast furnace and a much smaller earth converter, and there are several evenly sized coals that have been smashed on the side of the blast furnace. In the open space in front of the converter, there is also a separate iron furnace and iron felt.
At this moment, there are four people busy around the iron furnace, it is the old man and Xiong Da Xiong Er and the priest Kroger with a sad face, the old man is staring at Xiong Da who keeps swinging the hammer, Xiong Er is squatting by the blower and still panting, and Kroger is seizing the time to close his eyes and wait to be exploited again.
None of the four of them were aware of the arrival of Ruya and Pellif, and at this moment there was a rudimentary broad-backed machete with a red-hot blade on the iron felt, which was being forged one after another, and every time the hammer fell, a puff of sparks would be splashed.
This big knife that was being forged was the weapon that Lu Ya promised to Berry, when Lu Ya told the old man Tie, he was scolded by the old man for a long time, but after seeing the cart of iron ore, the old man closed his mouth obediently, and seriously considered how to make a "divine soldier".
Luya and Berry stood and watched for a long time, during which the old man found out that they did not say much, and continued to instruct Xiong Da on how to hammer and how to stack and beat, until it was close to noon, during which the blade was heated back to the furnace no less than twenty times, and the bear sledgehammer was struck no less than a thousand times, and with the blessing of Kroger, each hammer was like a thousand pounds.
Finally, with the sound of the old man "quenching", the big knife was picked up by Xiong Da and thrown into the bucket on the side.
"Slip~~" A burst of mist filled the air, and after it dissipated, the old man first carefully touched the handle of the knife, and after feeling that it was okay, he reached out and pulled it out.
As the officially completed broadsword was taken out of the quenching barrel little by little, Berry's expression became more and more excited.
The quenched broadsword shows a completely different texture from the beating at the moment, the whole broadsword, the slightly curved blade is about one and a half meters, the handle is close to half a meter, the thickest part of the blade spine is about two inches less, the thickness of the knife ridge gradually narrows with the extension of the blade body up and down the front and back, until the cutter head, the slightly upturned arc forms a sharp angle.
The color of the blade changes from black to white from the back to the blade, especially at the blade, even if the blade has not yet opened, the faint moire gives people a sharp feeling.
"This is definitely the best weapon I've ever built in my life, there is no one" The old man held the big knife with some effort, his eyes staring at the blade with intoxication.
"Obviously it's my hand," the bear muttered loudly, he had no interest in the big knife, he preferred Berry's mace to the big knife, that was his dish.
"Okay, okay, I really can't stand your eyes, what is this, it's a useless look" The old man noticed that he was standing in front of him and was about to swing excitedly, with a look of 'you have never seen the world', and then went to the blast furnace with his hands behind his back like a cow, and did not forget to tell Kroger to go to the grass shed to help.
"This knife, really, really, really, too... Too ยท For a moment, Cliff's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't find any words to describe the broadsword.
"Well, Uncle Berry, are you satisfied with this weapon?"
"Satisfaction is so satisfying, I never dreamed of having such a magic weapon before, and I am also very handy. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand casually, and a gust of 'woo~' wind came.
Lu Ya came over and took a closer look, and found that the quality of the broadsword had completely surpassed that dagger, but it had not reached the point where it could surprise him, after all, the current conditions and technology were still very limited.
"But even so, this knife is estimated to be able to represent the highest smelting level in the orc clan now," Lu Ya thought to himself.
"In that case, then Uncle Berry, you can open it yourself, I'll go and get busy with other things first" Bidding farewell to Berry, who was still excited, Lu Ya took Xiong Er and started the work of making soap.
