Chapter 5: Challenging Gods and Demons
In the second tin room, boiling water boiled in a huge boiler, the water in the boiler was an intimidating yellow color due to the addition of some special chemicals, and there were two small boilers next to the huge boiler, and between the two boilers stood a stove, the bellows of the furnace whirring and turning.
"Old iron, don't sleep, take out the thin gold from the boiler and show this little devil", Demley shook the blacksmith who was sleeping next to the big boiler.
He slept there like a black tower lying down, and the temperature of the boiler had been adjusted to 500 degrees, but he could lean on the boiler and sleep like a dead dog.
Even Demley's violent temper did not dare to shout at this blacksmith who was not interested in his work, because he was a Trubel, a first-class blacksmith in the blacksmiths' guild, and had the highest blacksmith certificate.
The Blacksmiths Guild is an organization of blacksmiths on the Atlantis continent, composed of skilled blacksmiths, this organization has a long history, at first to meet the needs of knights on the continent to forge armor and riding spears, and then the number of swordsmen grew, the size of the blacksmiths guild is also growing, and the status of blacksmiths is also rising. After nearly two hundred years of development, the management of the Blacksmith Association has been very mature, and the blacksmiths have a strict hierarchy, from the beginner fifth-level blacksmith to the mature first-level blacksmith to the top "golden hand", the influence of the blacksmith association is no less than that of the mainland chamber of commerce.
Grubel had a long beard that dragged down to his lower abdomen, and he opened his eyes and got up from the ground with a grunt.
"Little ghost, you disturbed my sweet dreams again",
Roger laughed and said: "Saliva is flowing all over the place, either dreaming of food and wine or dreaming of a sexy beauty of **? No matter what kind of tavern there is, when the mechanical armor is completed, you can go to the tavern for free to spend one night",
"Cunning imp",
He rolled up half of his sleeve and put his forearm, the thickness of the bottom of a bowl, into the small boiler with his bare hands, and took out a thin piece of black metal.
Although it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Roger still couldn't help but secretly speak, although the boiler had cooled down, the temperature was at least three hundred degrees, so he reached in with his bare hands and took out the thin piece of metal.
"Imp, take it",
Roger waved his hand: "Uncle, I'm not as rough and thick as you, and the metal piece you just took out can easily cause burns."
Grubel casually picked up the bucket next to him and poured it down, his palm suddenly made a "hissing" sound, the metal sheet cooled rapidly under the cold water, Roger took the black metal sheet, his fingers knocked it and felt that it was very hard, but the fingers alone could not make the specific flexibility.
Roger flipped the golden knife in his palm and showed his palm: "Can I give it a try?",
"Of course", both Demlay and Grubel are very confident in the new black metal, which is the brainchild of a first-class blacksmith and genius mechanic who hopes to become the "golden hand", although it is not a finished product, but it is definitely ahead of its time.
It's just that Grubel's expression is a little strange, because Roger's golden knife was also made by him.
"Zizi", Roger scratched the metal piece, and a shallow scratch appeared on it, Roger checked it and said: "Uncle, the toughness of this piece of metal is very average, this is not the level you should have."
It was Roger's mockery with hints.
He tried to curl it again, and he succeeded in twisting him into a lump of hemp, which took a great deal of effort, but as soon as he let go, the metal returned to its original shape. This surprised Roger's heart, although such a metal is not hard enough, but the toughness is already very good, plus the memory function can protect the human body well.
Demley mocked: "Little ghost, there is no word for 'toughness' in mechanics, and it is difficult to make up for hardness and flexibility".
Grubel the Blacksmith added: "It is true, it is difficult to make a metal hard and pliable at the same time, and your target is the Puppeteer, you should know this, as if you could not find a wood that is both hard and flexible, this new metal is not as hard as the golden knife I forged for you, but it is flexible enough, and with the function of memory, it is already remarkable."
"Also, little ghost, it is difficult to combine puppeteer and mechanics, although the defense of wearing mechanical armor has increased, can you still flexibly control the puppet?", Demley said, "With your wisdom, you should not make such a low-level mistake",
This sentence is a slight irony, and secondly, it also recognizes Roger's cleverness, and there are very few people on this island who can be intellectually recognized by Demley.
Roger put away the golden knife and said slowly: "I have calculated, as long as the weight of the mechanical armor is less than ten kilograms, there is no problem, and there are two benefits, one, exercise physical skills, two, camouflage",
Camouflage, disguise is a very important thing for the puppeteer, and now Roger can only hide his puppeteer's goal silently in his heart.
So far, the only people who know about Roger's goal are Oris, Demley, Grubel and Roger himself, and apart from the four of them, even Miss Lolita, who is very close to them, does not know.
There is a reason why puppeteers are banned by the mainland.
Puppeteers are the most difficult of all professions, a good puppeteer must learn to draw and design puppets, have good knife skills to make puppets, need flexible fingers to manipulate puppets, in addition to the puppeteers need to have a wealth of knowledge of geography, biology, anatomy, sociology, mechanics and a variety of other disciplines, and the most important thing is that they must have a keen sense of subtle observation, the average person is difficult to adapt to these requirements both mentally and physically, and it is even more difficult to find talents with both, and what really makes puppeteers taboo is because of anatomy。
Before designing a puppet and making a puppet, the puppeteer needs to learn anatomy, understand a large number of animals and the body structure of the human body, so as to design and manufacture an excellent puppet, after which the puppeteer needs to continue to explore the human body and study the mystery of life on the way to create a "puppet with a soul" In order to continue to explore, the human body that could be dissected in the heyday of puppeteers was very limited, and many puppeteers went astray, and did not hesitate to hunt a large number of innocent people in order to obtain the bodies of humans and animals that could be dissected, and there was a horrific tragedy such as the "Death Town Incident".
The Death Town incident was just a fuse, the town that was slaughtered by the puppeteers contained a full 12,000 corpses, and later in the investigation of the Knights Templar and the Holy See, almost everywhere the puppeteers had similar murder and hiding of corpses, which made the major families on the mainland, the Knights Templar and the Holy See furious, and they angrily negotiated with the puppeteers to stop this inhumane behavior, and arrested most of the murderers, and all the fugitives issued arrest warrants.
Astonishingly, their interference angered the puppeteers, who openly denied the authority of the Knights Templar and the Holy See, a move that would lead to a three-year "Little Holy War" In the past three years, there were less than 100 puppeteers, so that the most elite and powerful Templar Order on the mainland paid a heavy price of 2,000 casualties, and the puppeteers in large and small battles were shocked by their dexterous fingers, strange mechanisms, all kinds of puppets and the terrible ability to perceive people's hearts; since then, the Holy See has explicitly banned the puppeteer profession, and all books on puppet design and fingering exercises have been burned, but anyone who is found to practice manipulating puppets will be hanged or burned to death, and the Templar Order has also specially divided 12 teams to find the puppeteers who are lucky to survive, and once found, even the corpse will not be left。
This is the reason why puppeteers are called "taboos", "disciples of the devil", people say that puppeteers do not try to "challenge gods and demons", and that they should not be a profession, and this is the puppeteer.
Now Roger needs a piece of mechanical armor, disguised as a mechanic or warrior.
