Chapter 421: The Lion Speaks
"Brother, do we have to buy something with this guy?"
Shui Chaoyang approached Qiu Wuyi's side and asked in a consultative tone, although he vaguely understood that the Black Merchant had nothing to do with Count Cedar's plan, and besides, Count Cedar had been killed by the Heavenly Punishment Gate, but he still couldn't accept it from his heart.
"Brother Shui, what can't you buy, look at Berryberry, why aren't you so nervous, right?"
Qiu Wuyi wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that Liuberry Berry was staring at the long legs of the Black Merchant with a murderous gaze, and in terms of leg shape alone, the Black Merchant was indeed superior.
"If I get thinner......"
"No, the berries are good now, please don't think too much about it. ”
Qiu Wuyi gently patted Liuberry's back with black lines on her face, it turned out that she hadn't spoken because she was jealous......
This was just a small episode, and everyone in the castle knew about it within a few minutes when they heard that the Black Merchant had brought a weapon, and they were far away in the castle's backyard, curious, but afraid to approach.
"Are there weapons on the car? I can't help but have no guards on it. ”
As soon as Shui Chaoyang saw that there was no half-person carriage around, he immediately frowned, "It's okay, if someone steals, the car will explode immediately, my car is only guarded against thieves, never against customers who are sincere in business." ”
The black merchant's senseless words made Qiu Wuyi and Shui Chaoyang look at each other, and it was difficult to answer.
Suddenly, Qiu Wuyi seemed to understand why some of the customers who came into contact with the Black Merchant were prosperous, and some were destroyed, and doing business with this person seemed to have to grasp one point - if he didn't die, he wouldn't die.
Think about it, Earl Cedar, who bought the military dog, was not targeted by Tianzhumen because of his death, although his death should not only be because of this incident, but there seems to be some smell of fishing law enforcement in it, but it is not clear what level the black merchant belongs to in Tianzhumen.
"What weapons can you provide, swords, or bows?"
Shui Chaoyang suddenly asked, after Qiu Wuyi's persuasion, he roughly accepted the opinion of the black merchant, weapons are not guilty as long as they are used well, and the two territories are indeed too lacking in combat power now.
"No, no, it's just something that can be bought at a blacksmith's shop, with all due respect, you have only a few soldiers in your territory, and swords and armor alone don't bring much power, and you need weapons that are not affected by numbers. ”
The Black Merchant said indifferently.
"Makes sense. ”
Qiu Wuyi's eyes suddenly lit up, this was exactly what he was thinking about, in his memory, when he was studying in Tianwutang, there was a friend around him who used this kind of weapon. Although there may not be much advantage when fighting one-on-one with a strong person, if it is equipped on the body of an ordinary person, I am afraid that one piece is enough to withstand the strength of a hundred people, far better than a sword.
It's just that the broken memories lack the necessary puzzle pieces, so Qiu Wuyi can't remember what those weapons look like.
"And how powerful is your weapon? Is it a cannon? I don't want to use that thing, it's too bulky, and I can't afford it. Shui Chaoyang couldn't stop shaking his head, he had seen cannons in many places, this kind of gunpowder-driven weapon was indeed very powerful, but the consumption was really not something that just two territories could afford.
"If you have a need for a cannon, I can provide a good one, but right now you don't need that weapon, see. ”
As he spoke, the Black Merchant opened the enclosed carriage and took out a long rod from it, which Qiu Wuyi recognized at a glance as a relatively primitive firebolt, but it was very different from the ordinary firebolt in terms of structure.
"This is a firecracker, I've seen it, and if many people use it together, even the cavalry charge can be stopped. ”
Seeing what the black merchant took out, Shui Chaoyang also recognized that in a work to exterminate the bandits, there was a foreign warrior who used the fire gun, and finally he hid outside the door far away and blasted the head of the bandit leader, and the matter about the fire gun was also heard from him.
Looking at the familiar shape of the firebolt, Qiu Wuyi's head suddenly felt like it was cracked, and the outline of that friend gradually took shape in the memory, the two short guns were not missing, and the shooter with a pair of blue eagle eyes was left, and the relevant memory was only the last and most critical piece, but the clue disappeared at this time.
Qiu Wuyi knocked on the back of his head, which still had some residual pain, and the dizzy feeling could not be dissipated for a long time, and the last piece of the puzzle might be put together when he heard that person's name or when he actually met.
However, these reverted memories are not entirely useless, and each memory fragment has its own meaning.
"If you need this kind of firecracker, you only need a few hundred soldiers to block an elite army of up to a thousand, of course you don't have to worry, I will provide both the use of the firecrackle and the training method, at most half a year, you will have many powerful soldiers. However, I would like to point out that the firecracker is extremely effective against ordinary soldiers, but it cannot effectively deal with the attacks of warriors, so I recommend this item. ”
Throwing the firearm back into the carriage, the Black Merchant took out a crossbow with a rather rough appearance, and his veiled face deliberately stayed in front of Qiu Wuyi for a moment before turning to Shui Chaoyang's side.
"It's ......"
Qiu Wuyi couldn't help but speak, at this moment, the emotions surging up in his heart were enough to be described as mixed feelings.
This crossbow gun is the weapon equipped by the group of warriors who attacked Qiao Ying.
In other words, the Black Merchant probably sold the weapon to them, and then let this group of people deal with the Tianzhumen, perhaps this group of people once happily thought that they had weapons to fight against the Tianzhumen, and until they died, they did not know the true identity of the black-clothed merchant.
Even Qiu Wuyi imagined the situation at that time, the black merchant tricked the group of people into buying crossbow guns with seductive sweet words, revealing that the person who Qiao Ying was fighting with him was probably also her, and the group of people met Hades in such a daze.
"Is it a ballista? is it more powerful than a firebolt?"
Shui Chaoyang looked at it for a long time, and couldn't see the clues, Qiu Wuyi became more and more convinced that all the crossbow guns came from the Black Merchant, because Shui Chaoyang had never seen it at all, indicating that this kind of crossbow gun was an extremely rare weapon.
"Let me show you that this crossbow can fire five special incendiary arrows in a row at a time, and it can be used twice in a row, which means that there are ten incendiary arrows in total, and as for its power, please be optimistic. ”
The Black Merchant expertly raised his crossbow and aimed it at a clearing in the courtyard, and most of the onlookers around him were excited, because they were the same soldiers recruited in the two territories.
Sou!
The long fingers, covered in a layer of black silk, gently pulled the trigger of the crossbow gun, and five blazing flames flew together to different locations, forming a fan-shaped surface.
Before the spectators could see the direction of the burning arrows, the five huge fireballs that suddenly rose from the ground were so terrifying that many people couldn't control their mouths and screamed, and Shui Chaoyang also gasped and stared directly at the crossbow gun in the black merchant's hand.
Five fireballs burned ragingly on the snow-covered ground, a little snow could not resist the power of the flames, the fireballs lasted for a long time, the earth gradually turned into scorched earth, in the illusion of flames, Shui Chaoyang saw only one thing, that is, pure destructive power.
As a martial artist, he quickly judged that it was impossible for him to retreat under the bombardment of more than ten crossbow guns, even if these ten people were just old men in their last years, one crossbow gun would be enough to kill hundreds of soldiers, if there were less than a few hundred soldiers equipped with crossbow guns...... Shui Chaoyang didn't dare to think about it, for fear of being carried away by this unfounded dream.
"It's amazing, but how high are you going to ask?"
Qiu Wuyi's question ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water on Shui Chaoyang's head, although the weapon is good, the black merchant is not here to do charity, excellent weapons mean a high price, and the current territory is in ruins, and the warehouse does not have so many gold coins.
"Ballista guns alone are only worth one gold each, after all, it's just a ballista that can fire continuously. You may not know the recipe for the Burning Arrow, but it contains a very powerful burning mountain fire phosphorite, which is why it lasts for so long, and the price of each Burning Arrow is twelve gold coins. ”
The Black Merchant opened the "load" of the crossbow and explained to the two of them.
"Sure enough......"
Qiu Wuyi muttered lowly, the maximum number of rounds of a crossbow gun is ten, which can be divided into two shots, five rounds each, compared to the price of a crossbow gun for one gold coin, it can only be said to be a joke.
"One incendiary arrow, twelve gold coins! If you are armed with a hundred...... No, I'm afraid ten people are still fine...... However...... "Shui Chao Chao spread his two big hands, and counted them in a hurry, and then ended with a long sigh, even if all the gold coins collected from the pirates were not enough to arm the army, and it was still counted by five bullets.
On the battlefield, this can only last even one round.
Qiu Wuyi didn't say anything, first, she didn't understand the weapon market, and secondly, she always felt that the intentions of the black merchant were not only these, she took out the firearm at the beginning, and then took out a crossbow gun that was more powerful than the firebolt, which seemed to have already hinted that Shui Chaoyang could make different choices, but there was a lot of difference between the advantages and disadvantages of the choices.
"My lord, I am a businessman, and the things I ask for are not limited to money, any item has its own value, and when the value is equal, it can be exchanged. There is more to it than just items, and I have a small request, if you can do it, I am willing to give you three hundred crossbows and three thousand flaming arrows. ”
Speaking of this, the black merchant paused for a moment and glanced at Qiu Wuyi.
The main drama is coming.
Qiu Wuyi calmed down, ready to listen to the Black Merchant's next request.
