Chapter 457: Deep Sea Scale Iron
The cold wind blowing from the glaciers in the far north swept through the city of Dongyu City, rushed into every corner of the city, wantonly scraped the exposed skin of every city citizen, and the cold feeling also invaded the tip of everyone's heart.
Wei Hong rubbed his hands, took a breath of early morning white air, wrapped his shabby leather jacket, and shouted into the house: "The six monkeys have come out to burn the fire." ”
"Oh, master, here we are. A little chubby dun with a round head and a round head stumbled out of the house, walked past Wei Hong with his head down, sat by the stove outside, and skillfully pulled up the bellows there.
Wei Hong's eyes were sharp, and when the six monkeys passed by him, he clearly saw a little crumb of cake at the corner of the little guy's mouth, but he didn't say anything, they were all hard-working children, just eating with a mouthful, there was no need to be so serious.
Six monkeys are the children of nearby people, eight years old this year, sent by the family to him as an apprentice, as for why it is called six monkeys, it is also very simple, the poor family has no culture, gave birth to children, the first one is called the big monkey, the second is called the second monkey, of course it is his turn to be called the six monkeys, there is no depth.
According to the six monkeys themselves, there are a total of twelve monkeys in their family, and they really can't raise them, so they can only send them out one after another. He was considered lucky and gave it to Wei Hong, a kind person.
In fact, Wei Hong really doesn't think he is a kind person, if it was three or four years ago, he could simply be called a bastard, a second ancestor who eats and waits for death.
Although the Hengshui County Wei family is not a high-ranking lord like the seventeenth family, it is also a big family that has been passed down for generations, and the livelihood they passed down is to provide soldiers for the military department and organs. Relying on the identity of this imperial businessman, the Wei family is not to mention that it is prominent for a while, but also the existence of Hengshui County sideways, as the son-in-law of this family, Wei Hong is a standard gentleman, playing with the entire Hengshui County.
I thought that this kind of day would go on forever, but suddenly one day, a team of sergeants rushed into Wei's house and took everyone away, and Wei Hong, who was drunk and dreaming of death, woke up from the woman's belly.
But it was too late, first his Lao Tzu was beheaded, and then their family was exiled to the Eastern Wilderness to mine, and he didn't know until later that the reason for all this was because he was on the wrong side when he was fighting for succession.
After half a year of mining life, Wei Hong thought that this was the end of his life, and the whole person lived in a mess like a walking corpse. But at this moment, a team of inexplicable people came in and plundered many people, and he was also taken away with a piece of baggage.
It's just that before he could react to what was going on, something happened again, and the Great Cadre Changfeng Army chased after him on an empty ship, and he didn't care about anything else, and he killed everyone in one fell swoop.
The fear of death and the instinct to survive stimulated the rotten flesh-like Wei Hong, and he was quite lucky to escape the artillery fire.
He thought that was the end of the matter, and who knew that this was the beginning of the nightmare.
Along the way, all kinds of man-eating monsters and disgusting ghouls came and went, challenging Wei Hong's already fragile nerves.
I don't know if he was too unlucky, or God hadn't tortured him enough, and he really escaped from the encirclement of demons and monsters along the way and came to Dongyu City.
The dilapidated scene in the city, and the man-eating monsters that could appear at any time, finally woke him up, he didn't want to die in the belly of a monster who didn't know what it was, and he didn't want to starve to death on the side of the road.
So he picked up the ancestral craft, went to the city lord's mansion to recommend himself, and finally opened a blacksmith shop in the city with the support of Chang Qinghong, the lord of Dongyu City, so that he didn't have to go hungry anymore, and he didn't have to worry about being sent as cannon fodder to fight demons outside the city, and the price was just to provide thirty blood crystal blades for the city lord's mansion every month.
Since then, he has also become a decent person again.
Looking back on the past, it's really embarrassing, I'm quite satisfied with my current life, and my only wish may be to find my relatives who were sent to the East Wilderness together, which can be regarded as atonement for my original behavior.
But how can this matter be so easy, this eastern wilderness is full of demons, the roads are blocked, and the cities are not connected to each other, even the exploration team of the City Lord's Mansion is difficult to get out of the city for hundreds of miles, not to mention that he is a penniless blacksmith.
But he didn't give up easily, he had been in a mess all his life, and he had never wanted to do something like this time, of course, he had to work hard to complete it.
At present, the first step is to save money for soul cards, if you can become a three-grade powerhouse like the city lord Chang Qinghong, you may not be able to go out of Dongyu City to find the whereabouts of your relatives.
This step he completed very well, but in two years, he had already bought three soul cards, obtained the three secret techniques of the power of the bull, the power of the flame force, and the star pupil, and became a real seven-rank powerhouse.
And the situation in the Eastern Wilderness is also improving, half a year ago the sun actually appeared, and then the demons on the ground disappeared one after another, the Eastern Wilderness became very safe for a while, he often could enter and exit the city lord's mansion, and he also knew that the road to other cities hundreds of miles away had been unblocked, and the messengers on both sides had already answered the phone, and soon there would be a caravan shouldering the mission of communicating messengers to other cities.
Wei Hong planned to save up for a while more, buy and fuse the horned dragon soul card he saw a few days ago, and go out with the caravan again to see the world and accumulate experience for finding relatives.
While skillfully playing the blood crystal blade in his hand, he was calculating, the ancestral skills were becoming more and more proficient, and the fused soul card also strengthened his physique, and the progress of the blood crystal blade from the original one handle a day to the current seven or eight handles a day was not too idle, and he could ask the Evergreen City Lord for a leave while completing the task. If you go out with the caravan at that time, you shouldn't miss a big deal.
"Boss, forge the sword. ”
A cold voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Wei Hong's imagination.
He subconsciously looked towards the door, and saw that there was a young man in shabby white clothes standing there, his face was weathered, but he could not hide his original handsomeness, and he carried a large basket behind his back, with a layer of animal skins on it, and muttered that he didn't know what was in it.
Seeing that the young man in white had a strange face, Wei Hong was not surprised, in the past half a year, because of the changes in the Eastern Wilderness, the hunters in this city and the hunters in other cities have interconnected, and his reputation has gradually spread.
So he temporarily put down the work in his hand, walked to the door, and said with a gentle attitude: "What kind of sword does the guest officer want to cast?"
Although he was disturbed early in the morning, Wei Hong didn't have any impatience, his temper is really much better than before, and he doesn't know how much hardship he endured and how many lessons he learned before he became mellow.
Of course, there is another point, since the business is here, there is naturally no reason to push it out. He can build weapons for the City Lord's Mansion for free, and if he wants to make money to buy soul cards, he can only rely on these extra money.
The young man in white gently put down the basket on his back, and his voice was still faint and emotionless: "I don't have too many ideas, they said that you provide customized services." ”
The shop was a little dark, and Wei Hong casually wanted to lift the basket and put it in a shiny place to see what materials it was.
There are not many customers who bring their own materials, but there are also a lot, they always think that they can find something good, but they don't have that knowledge, eighty percent of them are some garbage goods, and they are kept like treasures. When I got to myself, I was determined to be junk and I gave up, and in the end, I had to exchange some ore for myself to make a profit.
It's just that when his hand touched the basket, he was surprised in his heart, this basket turned out to be iron, and it was not ordinary iron, looking at the lines on it, it should be a hundred forged cast iron, this thing has a very high strength, in Wei Hong's memory, it is generally a cage for the Great Qiantian Prison, and it is impossible to bend it without the cultivation of celestial phenomena.
This is already the best material for casting, how precious is the contents of that basket?
Wei Hong didn't care about anything else, and couldn't wait to bring it up to see what was inside.
But as soon as he exerted his strength, the iron basket did not move at all, Wei Hong was shocked in his heart, his brute bull strength allowed him to have four to six times the strength of ordinary people, this basket does not look big, why is it so heavy.
Thinking like this, he glanced at the young man in white with some strangeness, this guy can carry such a heavy thing, and he is still fine, how much strength does this have to be? How high is the grade? How is it compared to the city lord?
The young man in white saw that Wei Hong's eyes were different, and he thought he was inquiring, so he added: "I walked a few cities, and they said that this sword can only be forged by you." ”
Wei Hong put away the contempt that arose because of the other party's dress, and said politely: "The guest officer is serious, and after taking over your work, he will naturally complete it with his heart." ”
As he spoke, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to uncover the animal skin covered by the railway basket, and suddenly a chill came to his face, making Wei Hong, who had the Flame Force Protector, shudder, and looked at the black ore in the basket with a surprised face.
The ore looked black, but it was inky blue, with dense lines like fish scales on it, glowing with a strange luster.
"Deep-sea scale iron. ”
Wei Hong was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help blurting out, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the young man in white in disbelief.
Deep sea scale iron is the concentrate of deep sea cold iron, such as the existence of the marrow, precious and abnormal, once upon a time, he was still in Daqian, his father got a fist-sized piece of deep sea cold iron, so that it is a treasure, every time the caster only dares to scrape a little bit the size of a fingernail, it can make the weapon with a sharp cold, blowing hair and breaking hair is not a problem, and what does he see now?
There is a whole basket, not an ordinary deep-sea cold iron, but its marrow-like deep-sea scale iron, it is no exaggeration to say, not to mention a basket, it is the smallest piece in it, and in terms of value, it is estimated that it is worth all the things in the treasure house of the Evergreen City Lord he has seen.
Wei Hong swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "I don't know what the guest officer is called?"
The young man in white didn't seem to notice Wei Hong's gaffe, his expression was still unrefreshed, and he paused when he heard the words.
"My surname is Fu, my name is Lord Qing, you can call me Lord Fu Qing. ”
