The next morning, as soon as the sun had set, there was a cacophony of chatter in the streets, mixed with a few familiar voices, which came through the cracks in the door.

When Martin opened the door, he saw that there were many neighbors and acquaintances gathered in the street gate.

Several neighbors were in the streets, indignant, as if discussing something.

"These pirates are really bastards, they don't let me be peaceful at night, they make me sleep, I have to find them to compensate!"

The florist owner roared in front of the public.

"Reparations? Reason with the pirates, are you looking for death? ”

Susan reminded loudly.

One farmer said in a deep voice: "Last night I was drinking and came home late, and after hearing the sound of cannons, I saw the navy ships, and it seemed that the navy had sent them away. ”

"Recently, the entire East China Sea has not been peaceful, you still have the heart to go out to drink at night, and if something happens another day, don't bother us."

Aunt Susan pursed her lips with a look of disgust.

Martin listened carefully, and probably understood that last night it was the navy and the pirates who fought each other and shelled each other, no wonder the artillery was shocking last night.

He could also sense that the atmosphere was actually very tense, and the neighbors were all acting a little panicked.

It is estimated that this artillery battle is too close to Orange Town, which will make residents lose their sense of security.

"Martin, as a former warrant officer in the Navy, what do you think about this?"

Mrs. Joel looked at Martin suddenly.

Good guy, how can you have the meaning of asking what Yuan Fang thinks?

"Tell me what you mean."

Martin looked at the group and could see that the neighbors had a solution, and he threw the problem back.

"In my opinion, if there is an accident, I hope everyone will help one or two, so as not to encounter danger and have no power to resist."

"Yes, if the pirates enter the town to burn and loot, we will have a good response."

"Agreed, if anyone shouts, we'll come out and fight together."

Everyone nodded their heads and immediately reached a consensus, that is, not to go out at night, if the family is in trouble, the rest of the surrounding neighbors can come to the rescue as long as they hear the call for help.

After all, no one can be left alone when they really encounter pirates.

Although everyone usually sweeps the snow in front of the door, it is better to hold together in case of crisis.

In the face of such a chaotic environment, helping each other is the best choice, after all, everyone has known each other for so many years.

After this incident, the prices of various daily necessities in Orange Town have skyrocketed a lot, almost more than twice the original basis, and the ingredients of some special foods have also skyrocketed.

made many ordinary town residents who were not rich cry their fathers and mothers.

Martin is glad that he made a decision, he has always bought a large amount of food, enough at one time, and the various foods he bought last time were enough to feed the family for two months.

It is expected that the navy will definitely not sit idly by, and it is estimated that it will be able to solve this problem in a month.

。

For nearly a month after that, Martin basically didn't go out, even during the day, he stayed at home, in addition to being in love with Robin, he was forging knives and practicing swordsmanship, which was also leisurely.

In addition to teaching the children to read, Robin will also go home early, and in their spare time, the two will read books or newspapers together, enjoying the world of the two.

As expected, the shelling incident made some noise in the town, but under the deterrence of the navy, no pirates dared to attack the town, which was considered a false alarm, and the matter was forgotten.

On this night, the cold moon was in the sky, and there was silence.

Robin had already fallen asleep, and Martin was in good spirits and dressed and went to the studio to try to make a good knife.

In the past month, he can clearly feel that the forging skills are growing every day, and the success rate of the originally fast knife has exceeded ninety percent, and the time has been shortened to three hours.

The production rate of high-quality products is also improving, as long as he is willing to use time to forge, the probability of high-quality products appearing will be higher, and now the appearance rate of high-quality products is also six or seven percent.

Therefore, he intends to challenge the more complex Liangkuai knife.

If you want to forge a good knife, you must use a good steel ingot to forge it, and it is best to use jade steel to forge it.

Jade steel is too expensive, and no one sells jade steel in ordinary towns like Orange Town, and his only piece of jade steel is used to forge the sword Senbon Sakura, so he plans to try to use ordinary steel blocks to forge the Liangkuai knife.

Although the difficulty was a bit high, Martin felt that he should try it, or try to use Senbon Sakura's forging method to forge a good sword, it would be a waste of blood, after all, he succeeded in forging Senbon Sakura for the first time.

Martin, who had cleared his mind and cut away distractions, held the hammer in his hand and began to forge with the pattern of the slashing knife in his mind.

The forging diagram of the sword Senbon Sakura is almost imprinted in my mind, and no detail is missing.

Once raw and twice ripe, Martin's forging proficiency and techniques this time have increased a lot compared to before, but there is a problem in the final step of forging.

Boom!

As the blade-shaped red iron shook slightly, it shattered the moment the hammer fell, turning into a cloud of crimson flames and dissipating into invisibility, and the first knife was completely shattered.

Every time blood is spilled, and the final hammer is used to finalize the shape, the unformed blade will always break, and even the steel will crumble into several knots.

Immediately after the second, third, and fourth......

"Failed again, this ordinary steel is simply not able to withstand it."

Looking at the debris in front of him, Martin couldn't help but stretch.

The difficulty of this good knife is too high, and his success rate is very low, but he will not give up because of this.

With the clink of the hammer, the forge opens again.

It wasn't until the eighth that he barely succeeded once, although he barely made it, but the quality was not good, the quality could only reach the level of ordinary fast knives, and it was far from the level of Senbon Sakura's slashing knife.

It seems that he can only forge a slashing knife, so most of the slashing knives are unique?

At this time, the sky was already bright, and before he knew it, Martin had been forging his knife all night.

"It's finally done, but it's too hard to forge a good knife out of ordinary steel."

"Even if you use the forging method of the slashing knife, it won't work very well, it seems that you have to buy jade steel before you can make the next attempt."

"It's a waste of my blood."

Martin stretched, feeling like his blood was running out and needed to do some extra exercise.

He picked up the blade, which had failed slightly, and looked closely, and found that there was a blood-colored pattern on the blade that had not been blood-colored before, although it was dull, but it was very evil, like a blood-colored crack.

How is it a bit like a demon knife?

Martin assembled the blade and was about to test it out, but there was a knock at the door of the workshop.

"Anyone? Is Mr. Martin here, I'm here to ask for a knife! ”

A high-pitched voice roared.

Asking for a knife?

This is a business coming to the door!
