Chapter 323: Crafting Armor
Lin Yu continued: "This thing was accidentally discovered by me in the suburbs. @æš@æ@ć°@èŻŽI saw that its carapace was so hard, and I thought it must be a very awesome thing, maybe it was still a treasure! â
Originally, Lin Yu wanted to directly say that this thing was the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, but Jin Quan was just a horseman in the stable, and Lin Yu estimated that he didn't know much about such things as divine beasts, so he simply talked a few words casually.
Jin Quan thought that Lin Yu had used some tattered as a treasure to toss himself, and he didn't want to take it over, but looking at Lin Yu's eager gaze, he still reluctantly took it and looked at it casually.
"Huh?" After a few glances, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Jin Quan's eyes. He thought for a while, stood up, picked up a knife from the weapon rack behind him, and without informing Lin Yu, he grabbed the knife and slashed down the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast!
Lin Yu looked at it with a smile, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and did not stop it.
"Bell!" After the crisp sound, the knife immediately broke in two and fell to the ground, but the carapace of the Xuanwu Divine Beast had nothing to do, not even a trace of white marks.
"Tsk, it seems that your kid has really picked up a good treasure this time!" Jin Quan couldn't help but touch the carapace of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and his face was completely impatient with the previous one, but said with a smile: "This thing, you just leave it with me! I'll get you a piece of armor in a few days, and I'll make you invulnerable to guns!"
Cherishing the turtle shell, Jin Quan suddenly thought of something, and said to Lin Yu: "By the way, this function is no problem, that is, it is estimated that it will look ugly when it is made, and it will look like a big king after wearing it, but it is not a big deal, when the time comes, you can wear a loose clothes outside and cover the armor." â
"Uh......" Lin Yu couldn't help but have a black line on his face: "Big Wangba? I'm going to lead the troops out to fight the war! What is the matter when I dress like a king? Aren't all the soldiers I led become turtle sons and turtle grandsons? What is the difference between that and Situ Xiaofeng?
"I said Uncle Quan," Lin Yu said with a bitter face, "That...... Do you want to make it more delicate? Just like ordinary soft armor, wear it in your clothes and make it difficult for people to spot. â
"If you want the effect of soft armor, then you can't smelt this Wang Ba and Xuantie together, and then recreate it with a mold. But the job was too small for me to do. Jin Quan shook his head, he was only good at crafting some large weapons and armor, and he was not interested in doing those too delicate jobs.
In his opinion, generals and soldiers should hold weapons such as broadswords and wear armor to fight in all directions.
Lin Yu touched his nose and muttered to himself, "Smelt it all?" or do it all! Even if you can do this work, I won't let you do it. I'm only going to use the turtle shell as equipment, and I still have its internal organs and flesh to use!"
Just kidding, he still wants to use the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast for alchemy, okay? He just hopes to make the turtle shell into armor!
"Well, I'll help you get its carapace off, and then you can take this and find someone else to make the soft armor. After that, Jin Quan rummaged through his groceries for a while, and finally found a small knife, this knife didn't look amazing, Lin Yu was very skeptical that it could cut the tough flesh of the Xuanwu Divine Beast.
It didn't take long for the suspicion to come to fruition: the knife fell along the edge of the carapace of the basalt beast, gradually splitting the shell from the flesh in a process that was extremely smooth, as if it were peeling the soft skin of a freshly dead animal.
Lin Yu was very surprised, this knife was so sharp, he knew how strong Xuanwu's skin and flesh were, this knife could be easily cut, which meant that it must not be mortal. Lin Yu's gaze at Jin Quan also changed faintly: could the person who could have such a sharp weapon be just a groom who simply wandered around the stable?
Although now is not the time to pursue this, Lin Yu already has a trace of doubt in his heart, and plans to have the opportunity to inquire again in the future.
After about an hour, Jin Quan finally severed the entire carapace of the Xuanwu Divine Beast from the flesh intact. After putting the knife aside, he took another piece of oilcloth and wrapped the part of the Xuanwu Divine Beast except for the shell.
"Take it!" Jin Quan handed Lin Yu the black turtle shell and oilcloth bag, thought for a while and said: "There are still many well-known craftsmen in the imperial capital, I heard that there is a person named Feng Xiaoyu, the craftsmanship is good, you might as well take the carapace to find her and try it." â
Jin Quan usually likes to study the casting and smelting of weapons, so he knows quite well about the craftsmen who are proficient in this aspect in the imperial capital.
"That's right! Feng Xiaoyu! I almost forgot that there was such a person, when I was running a lottery before, I also specially asked her to make a movable type printing machine for me to make lottery tickets! Xie Laquan, I'm going to find her!" Lin Yu patted his head, took the things handed over by Jin Quan, and hurriedly walked out.
Before he had taken a few steps, Lin Yu suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran back, and said with a shy face: "Uncle Quan, that ...... Why don't you go with me? I pondered, Feng Xiaoyu is just a little girl, and she doesn't have much strength, so she probably can't do such rough work as smelting and forging, and she must still count on you in the end!"
It was really said by Lin Yu, with Feng Xiaoyu's craftsmanship, it was okay to do some fine work, but after smelting the carapace and the dark iron together, and then forging it with a mold, it was a cumbersome effort that depended on physical strength and experience, Feng Xiaoyu alone would definitely not be able to complete it, and only Jin Quan could do this job.
"This ...... Okay!" Jin Quan shook his head helplessly, this is really eating other people's soft mouths and taking other people's hands short. I just received two jars of good wine from Lin Yu, and now it's not good to refuse him directly, this kid is really prepared!
Jin Quan had no choice but to put down half of the work he had done and follow Lin Yu to see the situation, but doing things for Lin Yu was also for the Lin family, and he didn't blame himself if he came to think of it.
The two packed up their things, Lin Yu carefully tied the carapace of the Xuanwu Divine Beast to Xiaocao's back, and then rode Xiaocao towards the "Feng-style Workshop" in Baifang Lane in the south of the city, while Jin Quan pulled a horse out of the stable at random and followed behind Lin Yu slowly
