Chapter 41: The Martial Arts Academy
The sound of striking iron in a corner of the outer garden was endless all day long, the sound was sometimes crisp and sometimes heavy, and the small instrument hall that had been dead for many years finally had some life. The small hall is like a pond that has been trapped for many years, full of dead leaves and rotten bones, and it is muddy.
Everyone saw the strength and potential of this young man, full of vitality, not afraid of hardship and tiredness, he seemed to have endless energy, which caused people to constantly sigh and deeply stimulate them. Ning Feng's arrival was like a bend of clear spring poured into it, gradually driving out the withering, reflecting a bright brilliance.
Although it was only seven days, they had seen Ning Feng's transformation from beginning to end, and from the perspective of a craftsman, everyone was also amazed, this person could simply be said to be born for refining weapons. What they cared about was not only Ning Feng's rapid technological progress, but another major trait that he should possess as a craftsman, or a refiner—creativity.
Craftsmen know a saying, and they believe that creativity, or imagination, is part of talent. This is not a power that can be realized, but it is incomparably magical, and sometimes this imagination is the poet's "word" and the painter's finishing touch.
Especially in terms of weapons, the things created by Ning Feng have a strong sense of picture, which is easily reminiscent of the scene of fighting on the battlefield, as if this person has really experienced the military.
The "Yi" shaped knife can stab, split, and hook, without the space requirements of guns, spears, halberds, and halberds, providing a variety of means for close combat. There is also a three-bladed axe, Ning Feng discovered very early that the axe is a good weapon for chopping, but it is difficult to grasp the parry against the other party, and there is also a flaw that there are few blades, which makes the sweeping power decrease, and it is more necessary to switch left and right, which is very inconvenient.
With his own comprehension of weapons and warfare, and also out of training, Ning Feng produced many weapons that appeared for the first time on the continent.
In the past few days, Ning Feng learned that although Xiaoqitang is serving the outer garden, not everyone in the outer garden can call it, and every time the task is released, it is from an institution called the Zhongwu Academy.
The functions of the Zhongwu Academy are twofold, one is to unify the jurisdiction of the outer garden, no matter what village, what village, what town is the outer garden is smaller than the Zhongwu Academy; the second is that the Zhongwu Academy is responsible for the connection between the inner and outer gardens, such as the annual spiritual vein awakening ceremony, the people in the outer garden must report the list to the Zhongwu Academy, and then the Zhongwu Academy sends it to the inner garden, and there is also the annual Hundred Gardens to tame the beasts, and all the instructions in the inner garden are also issued by the Zhongwu Academy.
It stands to reason that the outer garden is enough for a population of tens of thousands, and such a place for making utensils should be very popular, how can it be mixed to the point that such birds are too lazy to nowadays?
First of all, in this unique environment, in this place where spirit animals are highly popular, there are really not many places where tools are used. Don't look at the outer garden as a secular person, in fact, cultivation does not exist everywhere, everyone wants to enter the inner garden, even if they enter the inner garden and are beaten back, they will continue to cultivate, and break into the inner garden again in various ways, three in and three out is a common thing. If something big happens, the people of the outer garden will go into battle, and the power will be absolutely shocking.
And according to the people of Xiaoqitang, there are also a lot of "factions within factions" in the outer garden, gathering all kinds of people who have been beaten back by the inner garden, brainstorming, learning from each other's strengths, and increasing the probability of entering the inner garden.
As for what to eat and what to wear, don't worry, the outer garden is greatly nourished by the inner garden, and all kinds of different wood grains and fruits are derived, as well as countless beasts, these are all food, and the meat of some spirit beasts is even more beneficial to cultivation.
There is another reason why Xiaoqitang is so low, there are too few people who know them, the outer garden can reach thousands of miles, and only the people around dozens of miles know Xiaoqitang, so that the need to report to the Zhongwu Academy is very small. Thinking about it this way, the old Wutuo people really have admirable courage.
"Wu Tuoke?" This morning, several people wearing exactly the same clothes came to the front of the small instrument hall, and at first glance it was the people of the Zhongwu Academy, and there was a very clever child between the adults, it seemed that Feng Lin'er had something to do with the Zhongwu Academy.
Old Wu Tuo walked out with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, everything has been built, just take it away." ”
The man who had just spoken nodded and smiled at Lao Wutuo, and a few people entered the forging workshop, and Feng Lin'er's small eyes clicked and looked at it, but he couldn't see Ning Feng until he looked up one by one, only to find that the "swarthy man" who was swinging the hammer at this time was Ning Feng.
"Brother Ning Feng, what's wrong with you?" Feng Lin'er looked at Ning Feng in surprise.
Ning Feng didn't pay attention at first, but when he turned around and looked down, he saw a little bit of staring at him, but he didn't expect Feng Lin'er to really remember himself. Ning Feng put the hammer down and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Feng Lin'er's expression, and he also knew that the changes he had changed these days were scary enough.
His hair was unkempt, he grew a beard of nearly an inch, and his face was more like he had been casually smeared by a child, black and yellow, and his exposed skin was burned black and hard by dense sparks, no wonder Feng Lin'er almost didn't recognize him.
"It's been a bit busy these days, nothing. Ning Feng said with a smile.
Feng Lin'er pursed her lips, "I think you should clean up yourself, my mother said that a man can't marry a daughter-in-law if he doesn't take care of himself, and if it goes on like this, I should call you uncle." ”
Ning Feng sneered, thinking of Feng Lin'er and Bai's appearance that day, he laughed at this kid's young age, there are really a lot of things in his head, and he is a man, "Then did your mother tell you that a man can't marry a daughter-in-law if he only cares about taking care of himself and has no ability?"
Ning Feng was joking, but who knew that Feng Lin'er suddenly pursed his mouth, and a little sadness flashed on his face, Ning Feng suddenly thought that Bai had gone to the inner garden, Feng Lin'er was really sensitive enough to this aspect of things, Ning Feng smiled and asked, "Your sister has already gone to the inner garden?"
Feng Lin'er nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a voice sounded behind him, "Are these weapons built by you?"
Ning Feng saw that other things had been taken away, and only Feng Lin'er and this person were left in the house, this was a middle-aged man, quite tall, "My lord, exactly." ”
The man stared at the sword-shaped knife and the three-bladed axe hanging on the wall, thoughtfully, "Craftsman, isn't this knife a little fancy when it really fights the enemy?"
This person spoke cautiously and was also very polite, Ning Feng said: "My lord, this knife is as fancy as a halberd, you may be looking at that bend a little awkward, in fact, when you really use it, it has a lot of benefits, it can not only hook the opponent's weapon, but also expand many tricks that were not easy to use." And they are connected by a pointed end, which does not hinder the stabbing of ordinary war knives. ”
As Ning Feng spoke, the man nodded frequently, "Then how can this axe be explained?"
Ning Feng said in his heart that this person should not have killed the enemy on the battlefield, "The weight of this three-leaf axe is less than one-fifth of that of an ordinary battle axe, and it is only heavier than a sword. Adults can see that in addition to the two-foot axe handle, the three-bladed axe is full of blades, and it is more powerful to sweep. ”
This person turned his gaze back to Ning Feng, "Don't hide it from the craftsman, Feng likes to collect weapons, I don't know how these two pieces are priced?"
"If you like to take it, you can. Ning Feng said without hesitation, he was happy in his heart, only when his things were recognized could he have a sense of achievement, not to mention that this person was also surnamed Feng, and he must be Feng Lin'er's relatives.
There are too few weapons like this in the Divine Beast Garden, and what Ning Feng has built is a little unusual, which is a little attractive to anyone who likes weapons. Moreover, weapons and machine spirits are completely different concepts, and there is naturally a lot less prejudice.
"Then how can it be done, the craftsman still offers a price, so that the wind is ......"
"Oh, second uncle, you will take it when Brother Ning Feng sends it to you!" At this moment, Feng Lin'er interjected, "Won't you be rusty if you give him money?" If you feel embarrassed, you can just send him some good materials one day. ”
As soon as Feng Lin'er said this, several people couldn't help laughing, "Don't intervene, child!" Feng Lin'er's second uncle snorted, he didn't expect his nephew to be very familiar with this person.
"Uncle Feng, Lin Er is right, you better not push it. Ning Feng said.
Feng Lin'er's second uncle didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome, I'm Fengtang, I work in the Zhongwu Academy, and if you have anything to do in the future, you will come to me." ”
Feng Tang stepped forward and took the Yi-shaped knife and the three-bladed axe in his hand, and felt a slight twist in his tentacles, and he was even more happy, "Lin'er, let's go back first." ”
Who knew that Feng Lin'er's small eyes rolled, "Second uncle, you go back first, I still have something to tell Brother Ning Feng." ”
Seeing that the relationship between the two is very intimate, and there must be some private matters, Feng Tang nodded and said goodbye to everyone.
As soon as Feng Tang walked on his front foot, Feng Lin'er immediately took a few steps towards Ning Feng, "Brother Ning Feng, where did we just go?"
Ning Feng frowned and recalled, "Can't marry a daughter-in-law?"
"No, didn't you ask about my sister?"
"Hahaha!"
