Chapter Thirty-Nine: Crossbow! Find a buyer!
"I'm going to ask the owner what he means." And Director Liu went to ask the owner Mo Tie.
After a while, Director Liu returned, and he said to Su Changkong: "The owner of the village agreed, but you must pay attention to safety!" ”
"Well, thank you!" Su Changkong's eyes lit up.
Being able to use the forging tools in the workshop, Su Changkong was able to start making bows and crossbows!
Every day, Su Changkong builds weapons as usual, and when it is evening when work is over, everyone rests, and Su Changkong stays alone in the workshop to build the parts needed for crossbows.
"Bell, bell!"
In the evening, Su Changkong held a small hammer and forged the metal piece in front of him, this part is very delicate, and the technical content of the creation is higher, Su Changkong's forging has reached 5 realms, and it is difficult for anyone to stand out in the entire Black Iron Villa!
Su Changkong worked overtime, worked hard to build and study, and it took twenty days to finally create the first crossbow!
Su Changkong looked at the finished product in front of him, his eyes showing excitement.
The bow trunk is wound with black leather strips to increase stability and enhance the density of the structure, and the crossbow arm is about a meter long, and the whole looks like a cross.
"Try the finished product!"
Su Changkong tried the power of the crossbow he had created.
In a forest outside the Black Iron Villa, Su Changkong pulled the crossbow string full, wound it, filled it with a crafted arrow, aimed at a tree a few feet away, and then pulled the trigger.
"Peng!"
The bowstring rebounded, making a muffled sound of "Peng", and with the sound of the machine, the arrow was pushed by a strong kinetic energy and flew out of the air!
"Whew!"
The arrow hit the tree, the arrow sank into the tree two or three inches, the arrow feathers trembled, and the power was strong!
Su Changkong experimented many times and finally came to a conclusion.
"The crossbow I built is no less powerful and has a range than an ordinary bow and arrow, and the effective range is about seventy to one hundred meters!"
Su Changkong nodded secretly.
Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows are slower and more troublesome to fill arrows, but their advantage is that they are easy to use, have high accuracy, do not need to study archery, ordinary people can use it after two or three days of training, the upper limit becomes lower, but the lower limit becomes higher!
Unlike bows and arrows, experienced archers have to practice bows and arrows for at least a few years, which makes the level of the two different, and the Great Yan Dynasty forbids crossbows and can't help bows!
Su Changkong believed that he could use some good materials and more intelligent forging techniques to make the power of the crossbow to a higher level, with an effective range of more than 100 meters, but Su Changkong did not do so.
The crossbow he created was sold for money, and he didn't need to build it so good or so high-level, on the contrary, he built a crossbow of such high quality, which was easier to attract attention!
So that's enough.
"It's built in batches according to the quality of this crossbow." Su Changkong said secretly.
Crafting the first crossbow, with experience, Su Changkong built it even faster, and the second crossbow only took him ten days.
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed by in a flash.
"I've built three crossbows, and I'll sell them first."
During this time, Su Changkong had built a total of three crossbows, he thought in his heart.
Crossbows, built with a high technical content, are easier to use than bows and arrows, but because of the ban of the Great Yan Dynasty, it is a felony to possess armored crossbows, so it is impossible to sell these crossbows and take the formal way.
Su Changkong has been running out of Yiqi Powder for the past month, and he needs money to buy more medicinal materials!
"You can ask Yan Song."
Su Changkong had a person in his mind.
Yan Song is a knife catcher, who has been crawling and rolling on the rivers and lakes for many years, and should know where to sell some shady things.
Su Changkong then set off and went to Caishen Town, the house where Yan Song lived.
What made Su Changkong breathe a sigh of relief was that Yan Song still lived in Caishen Town, otherwise Su Changkong would have to pounce.
Not long after Su Changkong knocked on the door, the door opened a gap slightly, revealing Yan Song's face, looking at Yan Song's appearance, his forehead was slightly sweaty, he should be practicing martial arts.
"Brother Wentai?"
Seeing Su Changkong who appeared at the door, Yan Song was stunned, he didn't expect Su Changkong to come to him again so soon, but he reacted and invited: "Come and sit in first." ”
Su Changkong entered the mansion as he said, and Yan Song poured a cup of tea for Su Changkong.
Su Changkong said straight to the point: "Brother Yan, I came to you to ask for some news. ”
"Know everything! Brother Wen just ask! Yan Song said very cheerfully.
After a slight groan, Su Changkong spoke: "I want to sell something that is not easy to sell......
Su Changkong didn't say what he wanted to sell, but Yan Song immediately showed a knowing smile on his face: "Indeed, sometimes some of the things you get are not easy to sell in the market. ”
Yan Song also often killed some bandits, and obtained a lot of stolen goods that were difficult to sell, and he felt that Su Changkong should be the same.
"Brother Yan knows that there is a way to sell these things?" Seeing this, Su Changkong's heart moved.
Yan Song nodded: "Yes, do you know about the ghost market?" ”
"Ghost City?" Su Changkong was puzzled.
Yan Song explained: "Ghost market, everything is sold in this place, everything can be sold...... You can understand it as a black market, and there are ghost markets in almost every area. ”
"I see!"
Su Changkong knew in his heart that this so-called ghost market is actually a black market, in the ghost market, some prohibited things have buyers, of course, the transaction is not guaranteed, you may be deceived, and even be targeted by someone with a heart and lose your life!
"Go to this ghost market, and the crossbow I built should be able to be sold."
Su Changkong said secretly, he was very short of money, and this ghost market was equivalent to a black market, and some forbidden things had a chance to be sold in it!
Su Changkong said to Yan Song: "Brother Yan, I want to go to the ghost market this time, can you tell me where the ghost market is?" ”
"Of course, the nearest ghost market in Clear Water City, a barren mountain two hundred miles south of Clear Water City, is open once a month on the night of the 15th, you take this token, go to that place on time, and someone will pick you up into the ghost market."
Yan Song very readily informed Su Changkong of the location and precautions of the ghost city, and at the same time turned around and entered the inner room, took out a black token, and handed it to Su Changkong.
The ghost market, located in the desolate barren mountains, if no one introduces it, no one will go there at all, Yan Song has also been in the martial arts of Qingshui City for many years, and only after being introduced by others did he know where the ghost market within the area of Qingshui City is.
"Thank you, Brother Yan!"
Su Changkong thanked him gratefully, many friends did have many ways, and he learned the location of the ghost market from Yan Song!
Then Su Changkong said goodbye and left, and Yan Song got up to see him off and sent Su Changkong away.
"Yan Lang...... Who was that guy just now? ”
Not long after Su Changkong left, a woman with a gentle temperament appeared at the door and said curiously.
"A friend." Yan Song responded casually, with a gentle look on his face, "Jie'er, come in and sit." ”
The woman nodded a little shyly, and everything was silent.
