Chapter 21: The first trial of rock chopping
At this time, Mondstadt was still a frozen land.
Except for the barriers built by the Tower Lords, none of them are suitable for human survival.
Calculate the time, the mistress of the bow of Amos is estimated not to have been born yet.
There is at least a thousand years left.
After the death of the girl hunter in battle, the bow of Amos was transferred several times before it reached Ganyu's hands.
Li Xiao was wondering if to make a bow and arrow for Ganyu in advance.
But she's so fat now, pulling the bow is probably going to bounce off herself.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Xiao, what are you laughing at?" Ganyu looked at him with some puzzlement.
"Nothing, just happy things that came to mind."
Li Xiao waved his hand perfunctorily.
"By the way, I'm going to go to the military factory, what about you, Sister Ganyu?"
"What a coincidence, I'm also going to the arsenal to get the weapons for the Millelith Army under my command for a few true monarchs."
Ganyu replied with a smile.
"Since we're on the way, let's go over together."
Li Xiao flew with Ganyu and came to the vicinity of the military factory.
The sound of ping-pong iron can be heard from afar.
Although it is called a factory, the scale is not as large as expected.
There were no doors or windows, and simple stone workshops were built on the flat earthen dams.
It is close to the mines, and you can see miners delivering carts full of various ores on wheelbarrows.
Such as crystal ore, marcasite, stone amber, night park stone and so on.
"Is Master Han here?"
Li Xiao asked the soldiers stationed in the Millelith Army.
"Oh, Master Han, he's inside, look at you should be the children of the Han family, it's very dangerous inside, it's better to wait outside now, I'll find someone to go in and inform you."
The soldiers on duty today are newcomers, and they have never seen Li Xiao and Ganyu, so they mistakenly think they are the children of the Han family.
Not all of them are good citizens, and some of them have unclean hands and feet, or have made mistakes to atone for their sins.
"Xiao Zhang, what are you talking nonsense, this is the young marshal, I didn't see the horns on the head of the girl next to me, she is a disciple of the immortals."
Some miners recognized Ganyu and Xiao and reminded them loudly.
"Young Marshal! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you! I'll go in and inform Master Han to come out! ”
The young soldier shouted in fear.
"It doesn't have to be that way, we just go in ourselves."
Li Xiao waved his hand and took Ganyu to the blacksmith workshop.
On the dirt slope, four sturdy ropes tied the four corners of a tarpaulin, which were tightened and fastened to several thick pillars.
Under the tarpaulin, a large stove is placed, a young assistant pulls the bellows, and the middle-aged master wields a sledgehammer against the scorching fire to knock the concentrate on the anvil to deform, and there is a sink next to the anvil.
Whenever the master put the red weapon embryo in, a large amount of steam came out and made a sizzling sound.
"Old Han!"
Li Xiao shouted at the middle-aged master.
However, the other party didn't seem to hear it, and he was engrossed in striking iron, not affected by others at all.
It's not just Lao Han, the rest of the blacksmiths and assistants are the same.
Ganyu originally asked someone about the weapons of the Millelith Army, but no one paid attention to her.
"Xiao, if we wait, the craftsmen are very busy."
"Okay." Li Xiao smiled helplessly, and had to admire the spirit of craftsmanship.
The two of them found a random open space and sat down all afternoon.
"Whew, it's finally done."
Cambrian put down his hammer and narrowed his eyes contentedly, as the flames of the furnace next to him reflected his furrowed face red, admiring the newly baked masterpiece.
It was a one-handed sword engraved with flowing cloud patterns.
His eyes are kind, like an elder looking at a child in the family.
For a blacksmith, every weapon he crafts is his own child.
As soon as this sword is completed, it emits a rumbling sword groan, like a awakened hidden dragon, only treated until the good lord soars into the sky.
"That's a four-star one-handed sword trying to cut rocks!"
Li Xiao looked surprised, he didn't expect that he would witness the birth of the first sword in the trial series.
"Master, the young marshal and the immortal disciple are here."
The assistant next to him noticed the existence of Li Xiao and reminded his teacher.
However, Cambrian still didn't hear it, and his attention was all on trying to chop the rock.
"Master! The young marshal and the immortal disciples are here! ”
The assistant shouted at the top of his voice.
These blacksmiths all have problems with the back of their ears, and they are more serious than his master Cambrian, and they can't hear the shouting if they don't get closer.
"Why are you yelling so loudly!?"
Cambrian glared at his apprentice angrily.
The assistant apprentice pointed to Li Xiao's side.
"Oh, it turned out that the young marshal is here, rare guest, do you have any new ideas this time!"
Cambrian was overjoyed and threw the trial rock aside.
In addition to Lord Yan, he admired two people in his life.
One is his sworn enemy Yun Hui, and the other is Li Xiao, the new young marshal of the Millelith Army.
Both of them have one thing in common, not only are they young, but they also have all kinds of whimsical ideas in their heads.
For example, the prototype series of weapons is from the hand of Yun Hui.
However, some of his suggestions were sought.
And Li Xiao provided a map of firearms, which in his opinion was an epoch-making weapon.
Although the destructive power is not as good as the cold weapons wielded by the Millelith Army, it is easy to operate.
If ordinary people are trained, their combat power is not inferior to that of soldiers.
"Old Han, I came to you to borrow a few craftsmen, but before that, I will hand over the weapons to my junior sister who will be used by the Millelith Army."
Li Xiao explained his intention loudly, startling Ganyu next to him.
"Hahahaha, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long, the equipment of the Millelith Army has already been prepared, Xiao Lizi, you take the immortal disciple to get the weapon."
Cambrian's voice was also very loud, like a thunderclap exploding, making people's ears buzz.
Ganyu covered her ears and didn't want to stay for a moment, and immediately followed the assistant to get the weapon.
Generally, the garrison barracks in various places send a team of soldiers to come and fetch them, and only the barracks under the command of the Xian family let Ganyu come.
Who made Ganyu young, but he didn't want to stay in Aozang Mountain, and always wanted to help do something.
In desperation, the immortals gave her such a logistical errand.
Xiao Lizi was not surprised, and he didn't dare to ask more about the immortals.
There were even many people who were moved, and the immortal disciples were sympathetic to the fatigue of mortals and did not hesitate to come in person.
Therefore, Ganyu is not famous among mortals.
"Hey, I really can't understand your suit, young marshal."
After reading Li Xiao's drawings, Cambrian's rough face was full of wrinkles, so he said that it was smelting, which was more like the skills of other industries.
"It's okay, Lao Han, you can just introduce a few talented young craftsmen to me."
Li Xiao smiled bitterly, the slime suit is considered an alchemy technique, and it is indeed beyond the scope of the craftsman's business.
"That's fine, young people are receptive to new things."
Cambrian had to serve the old, and it was difficult to learn new things at his age, and the atlas in the other party's hand was like a book from the sky.
"By the way, Lord Young Marshal, I heard that you are strong in martial arts, and it just so happens that I have created a one-handed sword based on the map of that kid from Yunhui, can you please take it to try the sword?"
"Okay, no problem."
Li Xiao agreed, but he didn't expect that he would be fortunate enough to be the first sword tester to try to cut rocks.
Shao Lean, he took Cambrian to fly to Tianheng Mountain to test the sword.
On the way, Cambrian was negligent and accidentally dropped the sword.
Sonor!
The blade of the sword fell to the ground, and the sword qi came out, like the rolling hurricane, which actually split a half-foot crack in the surrounding rock.
"Good sword!" Li Xiao clapped his hands and praised.
Although he had seen the five-star weapons that Lao Zhong had made casually, Cambrian was only a mortal.
"Let the young marshal see and laugh."
Cambrian was modest, he knew that the forging technique of the young man in front of him could be described as the pinnacle, and he was deeply selected by the Lord of Rock.
"This sword cuts rock like mud, so it's better to call it rock chopping."
Li Xiao proposed.
"Chopping rock, good name!" Cambrian couldn't help but laugh.
Roar!
Suddenly, Li Xiao sensed that there was a movement on the other side of Tianyu Valley, as if a dragon was singing, and the sky was full of dust and smoke.
"There seems to be an accident over there in Tianlu Valley, I'll go over and take a look, you go back first."
Immediately, he picked up the trial work on the ground and cut the rock, turned into a long rainbow and flew away in the direction of Tianyu Valley.
"Hey, that's amazing." When Cambrian saw the other party's Edgeworth flying, he almost thought that his work was psychic.
"Tianxuan Valley is not the place where Yunhui's kid goes!"
