Chapter 28: The Best Knife
After the news spread that the three pirates had failed to attack Orange Town, the nearby waters were much calmer, and the pirates were almost nowhere to be seen.
The pirates are not stupid, they know the bravery of the navy in Orange Town, and they hide as far as they can.
Orange Town has also ushered in the peace and bustle that has not been seen for a long time.
Martin, the hero behind the scenes, is unconscious, except for loving Robin every day, he is forging knives and enjoying peace and quiet.
In the workshop, the furnace was filled with fine coke, and under full firepower, the jade steel was melted into red molten iron at high temperature in the furnace, which slowly flowed into the abrasive.
The melting time of jade steel is much longer than originally expected, this is the characteristic of jade steel, the hardness of the sword forged from jade steel is extraordinary, and the heat generated by a large amount of fine coke can only melt jade steel.
Dingdingding......
The sound of the hammer sounded, and as the hammer was constantly beaten, a blade gradually formed, and as the forging and quenching, the blade gradually took shape.
Martin was so engrossed that he didn't even notice the sweat dripping.
I don't know how long it took, but as the sun set and night fell, it was pitch black all around, except for the flickering fire in the forge that illuminated the surroundings.
Pounce!
The clanging sound stopped, and with the quenching completed and the handle was installed, a brand new knife was forged.
The blade of this knife is like a mirror, and you can faintly see the twisting of the hammered knife lines, showing a wavy shape.
Bite!
Martin flicked the blade of the knife with his fingers, and he couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the sound of splashing water.
This blade did not meet its expectations, and still stayed in the ranks of fast knives.
I'm afraid that the skills of my intermediate knife maker can't meet the needs of forging good knives, and it's a little bit worse.
It is estimated that you will have to wait until your forging knife level is upgraded to a high level before you can consider forging a good fast knife.
After all, Liangkuai knives have entered the ranks of famous knives, each of which is known as unique, and requires more unique forging techniques to be able to forge them.
Martin went out with the long knife he had just made, intending to make a visit to Kim's shop and sell the fine knives forged this week.
Kim has been having a good time recently, and when he heard that he was preparing to open another store, he seemed to be very busy, and he didn't even take the initiative to come to the door on the day of the knife.
It's already nightfall, but the town doesn't mean to fall at night, the town market is brightly lit, in full swing, and there are many people gathering.
At the bazaar, Martin saw horse-drawn wagons dragging furniture back and forth, as well as men and women carrying parcels dragging their families down the streets, seemingly new immigrants.
"Uncle Roba, there have been a lot of new faces recently, what's going on?"
Martin asked the vendor uncle in the market.
Uncle Roba stroked his beard: "Recently, many people have moved into the town, I heard that because the towns around Orange Town are controlled by pirates, many people can only escape here, after all, we have a naval base here, and we have just won a big battle." ”
Martin nodded.
Orange Town and several surrounding towns have also been harassed by pirates to varying degrees, but only Orange Town has outperformed the pirates, so people are willing to settle here.
This is also a good thing for Orange Town, where the concentration of population means more development and opportunities.
"Welcome, please take a look at the Treasure Weapons Shop."
When he came to Kim's shop, Martin found that the shop had become a "treasure weapons shop", with a new decoration on the front and a flower basket at the door.
Martin is quite familiar with the name of the Treasure Weapon Shop, because this is a chain of weapons shops, there are many branches in the East China Sea, it is very famous, as long as the town is a little larger, there will be a Treasure Weapon Shop, and now Orange Town also has this treatment.
Kim was standing at the door, beckoning customers, and immediately cheered when he saw Martin arrive: "Mr. Martin, welcome to the treasure shop, my shop is grand enough." ”
"Oh, Kim, did you sell the shop?"
"Sold? Of course not, I'm a joint venture, and now I'm not only the assistant manager of the Jumbo Weapons Store, but also a partner in the store. ”
"Come on, come on, come in and have a look!"
Greeted by Kim's warm greeting, Martin walked into the Treasure Weapons Shop.
The interior of the store has also been renovated, with new glass cabinets, wallpaper floors, and a sense of tallness.
On the left side of the shop are various firearms, on the right side are various types of armor, and in the center are swords.
Among them, firearms are controlled materials, and there are very few weapon shops that can sell, but there are many treasure weapon shops, which shows how hard the backstage of this weapon shop is.
"Boss Jessica, this is the well-known local knife maker Martin I mentioned to you, and he created the previous few fine knives."
Kim introduced to a blonde woman at the counter, who was wearing a tight yellow uniform, with a plump figure and good looks, but with a striking scar on the right side of her face, which ruined her faceline.
"Hello, Mr. Martin, I've heard of you, my name is Jessica, the general affairs manager of the Treasure Weapons Shop, and I am currently the manager of Orange Town."
The woman named Jessica greeted Martin with a slight bow.
Domineering figure!
Martin commented silently.
Although her appearance is flawed, this figure is indeed speechless, but she has a good aura, and a woman who can achieve the position of general affairs store manager must have extraordinary means.
"Mr. Martin, have you come to our Treasure Pavilion to sell swords?"
Jessica saw Martin carrying a cloth bag and guessed the other party's intention: "Our new store is open, and business is not bad, but swords have not been so popular recently, so the price of a boutique fast knife can only be about 250,000 Bailey." ”
Martin sighed slightly: "250,000 Bailey? I didn't expect the price to be so cheap. ”
Jessica shrugged her shoulders: "Recently, the demand for swords has plummeted, and there is no longer a price for them, and there is no shortage of swordsmiths who can create high-quality fast knives, and there is no shortage of them in our treasure weapon shop." ”
This is a typical merchant bargain, and it is true that the demand for swords has decreased now, but the price of fine knives is more than that low.
If I really sell it to you, then I'm the one 25.
I thought Kim would help him, but this guy was also helpless.
Obviously, the fat man is not the person who talks about things here, but the woman in front of him is.
Martin smiled: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry to get these knives, help me see this knife." ”
He handed over the quick knife he had just made.
With a smile on her face, Jessica took the knife casually, and slowly pulled out the blade wrapped in the plain leather scabbard, and when the blade was halfway drawn, her pupils constricted, and she directly pulled out the whole knife, and looked closer.
The more you look at it, the bigger your eyes get.
"The best fast knife!"
When she saw the pattern on the knife clearly, Jessica couldn't help but blurt out.
This turned out to be a superb fast knife!
At this moment, the way she looked at Martin had completely changed, as if she was re-examining the other party, making a professional assessment, and her eyes were becoming more and more ambiguous.
The best fast knife?
Kim's eyes widened, as if he was looking at a monster: "You forged the best fast knife so quickly?" ”
Martin's forging skills are progressing too fast, and it is possible to forge fifty pieces of good knives one day, and I feel that the older he gets, the faster his technology progresses, and he has a kind of late-blooming posture.
"Hey, don't look at me like that."
Looking at the strange eyes of the two opposites, Martin tapped his fingers on the table.
What to watch?
I feel like you want to eat me!
