Chapter 10: Robbery
Despite the recommendation of some faculty members, including Merck, Gustav's life is now completely busy.
When I wake up in the morning, I can only eat some simple food, and then go to Igobrai to study. After Igbre, he had to practice his martial arts in the afternoon, and then he would go to Leoch's armor workshop before eleven o'clock in the evening. Finally, when you go back to your apartment, you have to make sure that you are meditating.
As a result, the time of the day is very squeezed, starting at seven o'clock in the morning during the magic hour and busy until twelve o'clock in the night.
In the operation room, Gustav was busy making a one-handed sword, and he was already very proficient in his movements, selecting metal materials, cutting, overall planning, and sub-production, all in one go. His movements were so fast and his eyesight was so accurate that even Leok sighed to himself. Gustav had a lot of books by his side, from the most basic Leok private armor catalogue to the Rydfal Forged Steel Model Set, a total of more than a dozen. Familiarizing himself with the basic terminology while doing the work, this hands-on attitude of 'knowing and doing' quickly made Gustav a qualified blacksmith.
Leoch even had the illusion that Gustav was born to do this.
The resonant sound of the buzzing operation fell silent, and Gustav walked in to retrieve the one-handed sword. After he has been trained in swordsmanship, he also has a more intuitive understanding of the quality of a sword. Combined with its solid foundation in number theory, the center of gravity of the sword can be controlled very well, resulting in an incredible feel.
With a few gentle waves, Gustav withdrew his hand in satisfaction.
"This is the last order of the night," Gustav turned and handed Leok his one-handed sword. "Mr. Leok, I've basically completed tonight's order. So, I want to go first and see you tomorrow. ”
Leok took the one-handed sword, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Gustav, the batch of daggers you gave to the Red Dragon Warlock Guild last time is said to have received a good response. If you receive a similar order in the future, you can sign your name on the weapon. ”
As a blacksmith, being able to make several pieces of equipment on your own is the first step to becoming a craftsman or even a master. It's just that Gustav is still a little surprised: "I haven't been in contact with this method for a long time, isn't it too hasty to start signing now?"
With a smile, Leok shook his head: "I'm also in my fifties, and I have some prestige among the forgers of Redfarr. But to be honest, although I have met many people and met many people, this is the first time I have seen you like this. You have your own unique ideas about how weapons should be shaped, and you won't be bound by their inherent form. At the same time, however, many craftsmen believe that the shape of a weapon has a 'golden ratio'. In fact, they have been doing this all along, copying it without thinking about it, following the template left by their predecessors. ”
Gustav smiled: "This is only a small part of the power of number theory, it can help you figure out the most appropriate center of gravity." After all, the density of different metal consumables is inconsistent, and the long sword made of Okusteel may not have the same feel if it is replaced with other metals. For this reason, what should be thickened and what should be weakened needs to be discussed in the form of numbers before production. Moreover, I think that combining number theory and forging will be the future direction of Leok's private armor. ”
Leok sighed, "You're absolutely right...... Well, and the dagger you sent over last time, and it's also won the respect of some bounty hunters, who will find a time to come here. ”
Gustav was not surprised by this.
Looking at Gustav, this manufacturing process of Leok's private armor far exceeds the limit of this era in terms of ceiling. Combined with number theory, complex armor configurations can be recorded in numerical form, and then recreated through the arcane model of 'split axis'. The key point is that Gustav is still too busy at the moment, and if he has the opportunity in the future, with Leok's permission, he thinks that the 'split axis' arcane model can also be greatly optimized: after the introduction of multi-axis, multi-coordinate system, automatic technology, the efficiency of the entire Leoch armored workshop will be qualitatively improved.
"Thanks to your participation, orders from the workshop can be processed very quickly. Leok was very satisfied: "It's far more than I imagined, and with a little more running-in, you can finish everything by 10:30 in the future." ”
"That's your salary for the month, two gold karins, and forty silver nicks. Leoch smiled and handed the coin to Gustav.
"But my salary is one gold carin and sixty silver nicks...... "Gustav asked, puzzled, "that's a lot." ”
Leok's smile did not change: "The extra part is performance and extra fraction, take it, if it weren't for your limited qualifications, I would give more." ”
............
When I came out of Leok's workshop, it was already pitch black outside. After the harvest moon, the weather turned cooler, and although Gustav was not too afraid of the cold, he subconsciously shrunk his neck.
After carefully discerning the direction, Gustav took a step and hurried back to his apartment.
I was looking for a time to meet Nata, she helped me advance the rent of the apartment, I must pay it back first...... Gustav thought with some joy with his salary in his arms. There are basically no people in sight on the streets, and occasionally some stray cats and dogs are still roaming. The cat's eye emits a ghostly glow in the dark night, and with the occasional call, it is quite scary.
"Hehe, little brother Gustav......" As Gustav walked down the road, a voice with a distinct smirk sounded behind him.
A sense of déjà vu welled up in Gustav's mind, and he vaguely remembered being surrounded by the first time he went to the secret stronghold of the Council of the Children of the Night.
"Long time no see, little brother Gustav. Three figures came out of the shadows, two tall men clustered around a small one, and the heights of the three formed a concave figure.
"Oh, it's been a long time, folks of the Night's Children Council. Gustav calmly turned around and greeted with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, it's Gako, and Aaron......"
The little man walked out and patted Gustav on the shoulder: "Good memory, Gustav." ”
At the same time, three tall men quickly surrounded Gustav, and Aaron, the burliest, stood behind Gustav.
"We've been very financially strapped lately, so we'd like to borrow some from you for early use. Gako smiled and said, "The money borrowed this time is the same as the sixty silver nicks last time, what do you think?
