If the iron-armed men of the south of Tutonia love to use the imperial two-handed sword, then the representative weapon of the northern warriors is the Dussac machete. This kind of weapon, which is about 1.5 meters long and has a thick spine, can make ordinary farmers go into battle to kill the enemy with simple training. Of course, if you want to be a fool, long-term hard training is inevitable.

A 72-layer Muhammad-patterned Dussac machete costs 200 guilders, and a 100-storey one costs 500 guilders. Salian lingered for a long time in front of these weapons, which were covered with beautiful black and white spacer patterns. The waiter standing on the side watched silently, and finally walked up at this moment.

"This lord, at first glance, you are a master of knowledge, in addition to these mass products on the shelves, we can also customize weapons here, even if you want a thousand layers of Mohammed tattoos, it is not difficult!"

Salian replied with a smile.

"Oh, do you have any samples for me to see? I'm an Imperial Knight from the far northeast. ”

Hearing that the guest was a nobleman, the waiter smiled even sweeter.

"Come with me, Lord and two ladies. ”

The three of them followed the waiter to the back of the store, where they met the manager who was in charge of the store, and the middle-aged man who was good at business asked the waiter to take out a Dussac machete from the storeroom. To Salian's amazement, the object was formed in one piece from the blade to the hilt, covered with a complete mille-feuille Muhammad pattern. It can be said that it is no longer a weapon, but a craft.

"Your Excellency, this knife was ordered by Lord Moritz von Eppenzell, Duke of Kirzen. ”

"Oh, it's the adult's! It's really beautiful, how much does it cost?"

"Two thousand guilders in gold, pay in cash. Uzzi steel, which is used as a raw material, is imported from the Levant through the Veneto Republic of Itcanlia. It took ten people three months. ”

After hearing this, Salian politely replied, "It's really a good thing. I see, I'll work with you guys when I have the chance, thank you. ”

After buying all the beauty tools for Cezella, they left the factory store of the Chestnut Tree brand.

The Dream Weaver Witch said happily as she played with props that Salian couldn't understand.

"Your Excellency, I think the weapon made for Duke Kerzen is really good. Why don't you make something like that?"

"Hehe, that Dussac machete is very good, but it's just an ordinary weapon, I can build it in my own workshop, I'm looking for a real magic weapon. When I first met His Highness Maxinus, I gave him a Messer Straight-edged Knife, which had been refined and crafted by my Iron Shield Workshop, and which I had done myself with the finishing and carving, and the use of magic crystals, which was much better than the crafts I had just made. But even so, it's still far inferior to those real artifacts. ”

Knight de Henry's lance of willow leaf could easily pierce Salian's double-layered, full-overlaid plate armor, and he wanted such a decisive weapon. In the battle of the city of Severus, the scimitar in the hands of Suleiman the Magnificent also had such power, but unfortunately it was out of reach. And the holy sword and magic sword in the Divine Grace Empire also have their own masters, and the short sword is not suitable for Salian, he wants to tailor the artifact.

The third time, they entered the Trident Factory Store, which was full of multi-purpose weapons, folding knives, etc., which were loved by assassins, killers, ninjas, or special combat soldiers.

"Big companies are for ordinary people or the rich, isn't there a place to build weapons for real warriors who pursue the limit?"

Cezella suddenly knew something and said happily.

"Oh, it's like the short sword 'Ilosa' you gave me! There's a little shop called "Phantom Hammer" here, because I didn't think about it because they have products that I don't need. ”

Finally, in an alley, they found the shop, which was only a dozen square meters in size, and when they walked in, they saw an old woman doing embroidery, and if it weren't for the shabby sign hanging on the door and the dusty weapon racks in the shop, Salian would have thought they were in the wrong place.

"Old man, we're here to buy weapons. Salian asked politely.

The old woman looked up strangely and replied indifferently, "What kind of weapon? ”

"Hehe, what I want is not an ordinary weapon, but something comparable to an ancient artifact!"

"Haha, does anyone still believe in the existence of artifacts?"

"Cezella, take out 'Ilosa'. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Dream Weaver took out a dagger from under her long skirt that had been transformed from a battle axe from the Third Dynasty.

The old woman took the short sword with a trembling hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shouted loudly.

"Old man, come out quickly, there is business to do!"

Then, an old man with a white beard appeared in front of Salian.

"It's an artifact! Where did you get it?"

"I'm the new Duke Mark of the Divine Grace Empire, so it's not strange to have this artifact!"

"Yes, of course. But...... Why did you come to me when you have such a weapon?"

"Because I want a tailor-made weapon, an ultimate tool of war that is completely in line with my heart and hand, in the future, on the vast battlefields of the Western Continent, she will have to fight with all kinds of divine weapons in the hands of the heroes of the world, and she must not fall behind. ”

"Haha, there's no way to guarantee that!" said the old man with a smile.

"Now a thousand years have passed since the Third Dynasty, and at that time, the Nine Great Artifacts of the Empire will be able to be created. Could it be that all these years of advances in metallurgy and magic technology have been fake?" said Salian, handing the dagger back to Cezella, calmly.

"Unfortunately, some of the technologies possessed by the Third Dynasty have been lost, and now the weapons made by the descendants of our 'Phantom Hammer' are only in their form. It can't compare to those real artifacts. ”

"Hehe, what are you lacking to hear. I might have a way!"

The old man pondered for a moment.

"Then please come in and speak. Ah, you're alone. ”

"All right, Yulia and Cezella, stay at the door, stay with the old lady, and don't let anyone in!"

"Yes!"

Salian followed the old man into the inner room, and then through the mechanism to a small forge. The roaring fire here made the Duke of New Mark's face ache. I saw that the old man turned around, and the breath of the whole person completely changed.

"My name, my name is Eun, my lord. Our 'Phantom Hammer' is actually made up of the descendants of the blacksmiths, technicians, and alchemists of the Third Dynasty who made artifacts. ”

"Hehe, then I must have been quite touched by the work of my ancestors just now, right?!"

"Yes, my lord, those are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, and only they can create weapons with souls in the Divine Grace Empire. But how could I not recognize the dagger? Is it a product of another country?"

Salian ignored the old man's self-talk and continued.

"Can't you really do it now?"

I just listened to the old man say helplessly.

"Alas, in fact, all the design drawings and process flows used in the production have been preserved. But because the sorcerers who worked with our ancestors were reluctant to share their information, and these were the only people who held the secret to combining the soul with the beam metal, it was impossible to create a true artifact now. ”

"I see, but how far can you do it now?"

"First of all, we can make it, but the materials used are so precious that it takes a lot of time and money to find. But as long as you have beam metal, there is nothing wrong with completing the weapon itself, but I don't think there is any point in having a weapon without a soul. They are incapable of self-amplification, self-healing, and cannot help their owners. ”

"Hehe, at least the beam metal is fine. ”

As he spoke, Salian took out the broken staff he had obtained from the "The Theory of Everything" magic supply shop in Calshington, the capital of Duke Kerzen, from his diamond pocket watch. It was originally a gift to his little witch, but unfortunately it has not been able to play a role, but the thing is precious, so it is placed in Salian's space.

"Look, what is this?"

The old man took the staff and carefully identified it.

"My lord, you actually have two artifacts by yourself!"

"Yes. Do you know where it came from?"

The soul of the short sword "Ilosa" is complete, so Salian knows that he is one of the nine great artifacts created by the White Lion Dynasty, but because he is a battle axe, and the relationship between them has been completely transformed, of course, these "Phantom Hammer" people can't understand it.

"Yes, my lord, I recognize it. This is produced by my ancestors at the end of the White Lion Dynasty, and it is not among the nine great artifacts. It was made at his own expense by the court magician. ”

"Haha, thank you so much, I finally let me know where it came from. ”

"It's a pity that its soul is destroyed and can't be repaired. Fortunately, the remaining beam metal is still useful. ”

"Well, just use it as a raw material, what else do you need?"

"Hehe, my lord is really refreshing. What gear do you need?"

"My Hohenstelingen family is known for its hammers. ”

"Understood, sir. However, there are many hammer shapes, and there are specific requirements. ”

"Of course. Salian retrieved the hammer that had been damaged by his fight with the Abyssal Demon and the blueprints that had made it.

"What a rare boutique, my lord. ”

"Hehe, it's such a shape and weight, you don't have to care about the decoration and carving on it, I'll do it myself. ”

"Haha, the Hohenstlingen family, who have long heard about adults, are also good at building weapons, and today I finally had the honor to see it. Hehe, please wait, sir. ”

Ewen took out his tools and carefully measured the weight and size of the hammer, and calculated it according to the drawings.

"My lord, the beam metal provided by the staff is sufficient, and most of the other metal ingredients can be procured in Thorin at all, as long as there is money. ”

"Hehe, Solingen is such a good place for weapons. So what else is there that you can't buy?"

"My lord, there are some ordinary things that are suitable for ordinary mercenaries, and some high-priced things that are suitable for rich lords, but only the best things are suitable for customers like you who pursue the extreme. For example, as the material of the anti-slip part of the hammer handle, after so many years of research, we found that the inner skin of the red dragon's abdomen two meters away from the abdomen is the most non-slip after 25 processes, suitable for long-term holding, and will not hurt the palm. But this thing doesn't come around very often. ”

"Okay, give me a list of everything I can't buy at the moment, and I'll figure it out. ”

"Yes, my lord, there's also the question of the soul. ”

"What's the clue?"

"Yes, as far as our ancestors know, the magician who mastered the soul of the implant later participated in the establishment of the Seven Towers Magic Academy. So the Seven Towers Academy of Magic should keep the secrets of this technology. ”

"Well, there's some truth. ”
