Chapter 11: Bursting Knife
After a pause, the instructor's expression softened a little, and he explained, "This system is not a restriction, but a protection.
The strength of a hunter can be divided into two parts: 'own strength' and 'equipment', without the latter will fail the hunt, and without the former will lose your life, do you know what I mean? ”
Gordon nodded thoughtfully.
With the strength of the instructor plus the equipment, there is a chance to hunt dragons.
Let the instructor put on his own equipment, although it is difficult to kill the wyvern, but it will not hinder.
On the other hand, if you put on the instructor's equipment to crusade against the Wyvern, you will not be able to come back.
Not to be dependent on others is a matter of principle, in order to prevent some hunters from taking advantage of opportunism and eventually losing their lives.
"I see, so instructor, with the materials I have now, can I make any great sword?" Having figured it out, Gordon no longer dwelled on the training greatsword and instead focused on the materials he had.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have iron ore and earth crystals for ore materials, right?"
Although it was a question sentence, the instructor's tone was very affirmative, and he knew all the actions of Gordon in the hunting ground in the past two years.
"Hmm... That's right! ”
Compared to the instructor, what materials are in the storage box at home, Gordon himself can't remember very clearly.
"A large amount of iron ore and earth crystals, combined with a special mineral from the snow-capped mountains called ice crystals, can create a steel greatsword called the 'Bursting Knife'.
This greatsword is sturdy and durable, and the green slash flavor is sharp enough to make you use it until you were a three-star hunter.
It can be said that this is a weapon that many great sword hunters will choose to forge in the early stage. ”
Gordon's expression became subtle when he heard this.
He naturally wanted this "bursting knife" very much, but what use did he want? What kind of "ice crystal" is he missing......
A rare smile appeared on the corner of the instructor's mouth, and he said, "Of all the materials for crafting weapons and armor, the only type of materials that are allowed to be traded is ore materials (1).
Of course, there are restrictions on the types of ores, and now that you are a one-star hunter, the types of ores that you are allowed to buy are only the most common.
Ice crystals, I just have them, and the material grade is not excessive. ”
Gordon was overjoyed.
The guild's policy of "ore is allowed to be traded" is also out of humane considerations.
After all, most of the ore materials can be easily obtained, and you can just bring an iron pickaxe to knock on the ore veins, but the production is completely limited by the region.
You can't let him travel thousands of miles across most continents to the snow-capped mountains just to knock out a few ores that are not worth much, right?
That's too painful......
He is a resolute character, and since he has made a decision, he will carry it out immediately.
Bringing the iron ore and earth crystals accumulated over the past two years, as well as the ice crystals provided by the instructor, Gordon came to the workshop.
After asking the craftsman, I found out that even if all the materials were provided, the manual cost of making the burst knife alone would be as high as more than 2,000, nearly 3,000 gold.
It is more than ten times more than ordinary knives.
This order directly exhausted all the savings he had accumulated in the past two years, and if it weren't for the instructor who promised Bing Crystal to take credit first, his entire net worth would not be enough to build a big sword.
His family went bankrupt in one day, but he didn't regret it at all.
Looking at the forge in the workshop, lit by the heat of burning fossil carbon, Gordon's eyes were full of antiquity.
......
Unlike a normal sword, it takes more time to forge a hunter weapon from ore materials.
Uncle Craftsman gave him four days, and in four days he would be able to get his hands on the brand-new weapon he had always dreamed of.
Naturally, the time spent waiting for a new weapon cannot be wasted.
Changing the type of weapon is not as simple as changing a weapon, even if Gordon is quite compatible with the greatsword, he still has too many new things to learn.
The correct posture of wielding the broadsword, the connection of moves, how to quickly draw the sword, how to use the broadsword to block defense, how to roll and dodge while holding the sword......
Thankfully, Instructor Ernest had also used the Great Sword for a while when he was young, and he was able to teach these relatively basic knowledge directly.
If Gordon had chosen to use twin knives, guns, and the like, he would have had to go to Minagard City, or even Dondolma City, to find a mentor again.
Soak in the training ground every day, time flies quickly.
The pursuit of absolute power of the great sword move is not complicated, but the threshold for physical fitness and strength is very high, and on the premise that these two qualities are fully met, Gordon has made rapid progress, and has basically mastered the use of this heavy weapon in just a few days.
The next thing you need to do is to gain experience and develop your own fighting style.
According to the instructor, as the core move of the big sword, the "Charged Slash" actually has a further derivative move, which is the high-level skills called "Strong Charged Slash" and "True Charged Slash".
This is a special move that can only be mastered by excellent Great Sword Hunters who are constantly polishing their skills, exercising their physique, and strong to a certain extent.
For a short period of time, Gordon didn't have to think about it at all, he couldn't reach it, and he couldn't control it.
What the instructor didn't expect was that Gordon didn't say it on the surface, but he had already deeply rooted the names of these two tricks in his heart.
Becoming a high-ranking hunter is the basic condition for learning strong and true savings (2)? Wait, that day won't be too long!
......
As Gordon sweated in the training grounds, a petite figure jumped out of the van and came to the entrance of the village of Cocott.
It turned out to be an Ailu cat.
It has snow-white fur, a golden yellow part of the nose tip, and a golden oval pattern on its abdomen, which is very eye-catching and beautiful.
It looked cautiously from side to side.
Obviously, this is the first time that Eru has come to Kokot Village, and possibly the first time she has come to a human village.
It was carrying a huge package, looking a little dazed and a little uneasy, and the package was bulging with something hard.
A bone "cat pickaxe" commonly used by Ailu, hanging diagonally behind her back, also adds a bit of bravery, or rather, looks more cute?
Eludon walked to the village looking around to find someone to ask for directions, and the sound of iron-striking workshops immediately caught its attention.
Due to their lack of strength, the Eru clan's smelting level is relatively low, and this metal knocking sound is quite novel to those who have not had much contact with humans.
Walking softly to a certain craftsman who was striking iron, Eru asked weakly:
"Well, may I ask if this is the village of Kokot?"
"Huh?"
The muscular craftsman uncle looked down at the petite Elu, and the red light from the hot steel on the iron felt illuminated the large face full of flesh and messy beard.
In Elu's eyes, the sturdy craftsman who held the hammer high in the splashing sparks was like a demon from purgatory.
"Ten... Sorry meow! But be sure to let go of the next meow! ”
Ailu, whose hair exploded like a hedgehog, bowed deeply, turned around and ran away on all fours.
"Huh? Is my face so scary? The craftsman rubbed his big face, which was not very friendly, in confusion, and continued to work with his head.
