Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Blacksmith
Under the guidance of Chamberson, Yi Chen followed him to the middle floor of the street district, a street [Metalwork-Street] where weapons were mainly sold and forged.
A large number of blacksmith shops of different shapes are set up here,
Huge metal chimneys,
The sweltering environment is more than 10Β°C higher than other neighborhoods,
The sound of striking iron and shouting without stopping,
In such an environment, there are a large number of gentlemen who are accustomed to shopping here, looking for more suitable materials or weapons and equipment.
Many gun users like Edmund need to come to a modern blacksmith to customize special effect bullets.
While walking on the street, Yi Chen found that Professor Chamberson was also looking around, and he couldn't decide which blacksmith shop to choose for a while.
"Professor, is this your first time here?"
"Sort of, when I was young, I accompanied my teammates, but I rarely came later...... After all, I don't have a need for weapons. A gentleman of magic like me uses more of a "magical medium".
For example, a casting glove made of a special leather as a substrate,
Accessories made from diseased crystals with magical properties, such as rings, necklaces, etc.
Or a little more advanced, using a large number of skins, with secret rubbing, to make magic books, and so on. β
"I see, can I use this kind of thing?"
"Absolutely...... Crafting one or a pair of basic spellcasting gloves will effectively improve your control over plants.
If you don't plan to upgrade your outfit with Gentleman's Skin, you can make gloves first.
It's up to you. β
"Let's settle the issue of weapons first."
"Hmm~ This shop looks pretty good...... The two-story structure, taking into account the sale of materials and the forging of weapons, go in and have a look, and strive to get it done at one time. β
γVulcan's Forgeγ
A flaming red and steaming sign hangs at the door,
As soon as you enter the door, you can see a group of sturdy young men in black leather aprons, sweat oozing from their bronze muscles, banging on hot irons.
After briefly explaining their intentions to the usher, the two were invited up to the second floor.
Received by a senior blacksmith in person,
Unlike the apprentice who knocked on the iron downstairs, the old blacksmith only liked to stay in the quiet room on the second floor, reading books and raising flowers.
When he learned that it was only Yi Chen, a rookie gentleman, who wanted to forge weapons, he was a little disappointed.
"There is no need to look for me for the forging of a rookie gentleman, my apprentices here can take on this errand.
If there is a large discrepancy with expectations, or if there is a forging error that damages the material, we will also compensate twice. β
"Can your apprentices here handle this?"
At Chamberson's signal,
Yi Chen will be equipped with [Moonlit Night Rat-Jesmin. Lee] The sealed locket of nodulous crystals was handed out.
The old blacksmith took the box with his calloused palm, squinted his eyes and slowly opened it,
A bright moonlight instantly penetrated his eyes, and even slowly opened his squinted eyes, revealing a new moon between his pupils.
The seemingly beautiful crescent moon contains a fleshy embryo.
It's not disgusting,
Instead, the moon, which should have been dead and silent, added a touch of life.
"That's good stuff!
Did Professor Chamberson give such a high-quality crystallization to a rookie gentleman? Weapons made of this material are difficult for newcomers to control. β
"This is the crystallization of the relatively intact corpse of the sick he killed with his own hands, and it has nothing to do with me. I just brought him over to forge weapons. β
"This is the fruit of a seriously ill person, right? And judging from the form, it's still a pretty difficult guy to deal with.
No wonder Professor Chamberson actually had time to bring a newcomer here, who turned out to be a rare talent...... Let's go! I, Bengus, have taken over this errand.
Please fill out this forging intention form carefully. β
Yi Chen basically thought about what he wanted along the way, and quickly completed the filling.
Blacksmith Bengu looked at the form of wishes and read easily:
"Hand axe, the weight is slightly on the heavy side, the material is not limited, and the length is suitable...... Hopefully, it will be able to adapt to various situations and battles with different types of enemies.
The conditions given are lenient, but are you really sure you want to use an axe?
For your size, a sword, a long knife, or a spear may be a better choice. β
"I'm used to using axes, swords and whatever, but I'm not used to using them."
"Okay.
However, if you want to cope with various situations, you have to have the characteristics of both a short hand axe and a long axe, and our store happens to have such a technology that can be compatible with both characteristics.
Here's a technical sample that you can try. β
The old blacksmith took an iron rod that was just one meter long and handed it to Yi Chen.
It looks like an ordinary iron rod, but it is unexpectedly heavy when it falls between the palms of your hands.
"This length is suitable for close, confined space operations...... If you want to fight from a long distance or attack in a large area, you'll need to increase the length of your weapon.
You must have already touched the metal buckle on the iron bar, right?
Press down with your thumb,
This is followed by a short pull-back pull. β
"Okay."
Yi Chen, according to the blacksmith,
Press down a little harder on the less obvious buckle, then pull the bar back.
Boom! Sparks fly
In the process of pulling back for a short distance (<5 cm), the iron rod, which was originally one meter long, instantly grew to two meters.
"If you want to go back to the way you were, just repeat what you just did.
This sample is only a demonstration of the change in length, and we can also achieve a certain degree of morphological change here, depending on your individual needs. β
"How much does it cost to use this technology?"
Yi Chen was still worried about the money, after all, Edmund's money was not enough.
"If you need to add a change in form, the price will be 10,000."
Just when Yi Chen wanted to refuse,
Chamberson pressed his business card directly,
"Do it to the highest standards, as long as the finished product is okay, deduct it directly from my account.
This technology is quite good in my opinion, and it is worthy of this precious crystalline material. I also have some materials here, if you can use them. β
"Okay.
In this case, it is necessary to determine in detail the personal intentions, the mode and form of the weapon, and the feasibility.
Once the design is finalized, the materials are selected and the user's physical parameters have to be measured.
After all the above preparations are completed, it will take more than two weeks to manufacture, and we will notify you as soon as it is completed. β
"Okay, then William, you can stay here to further confirm the details of the weapon design, I still have some things to do."
With Chamberson's departure,
The prelude to weapon forging has officially begun.
When the preparations were carried out to Yi Chen's physical test, the old blacksmith Bengus unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly thin young man actually had a strange and strong body.
"Your flesh ...... It shouldn't have been formed through regular exercise, right? β
Yi Chen replied with a smile: "I can only say that the process is very painful. β
"No wonder you can kill the seriously ill, Professor Chamberson thinks so highly of you.
Since I am a talent who has the potential to help humanity get out of trouble, I will also do my best to forge the best work.
In order to ensure that the final product is compatible with you, you may be notified to come and try it out at any time during this time, so stay in the city for the time being and don't run around. β
"No problem, I'll basically stay in the academy this month and won't go out, thank you, Mr. Bengus."
