Chapter 17: Success
Old Felwood led them to the back hall, where in the middle of the hall was an iron-striking stove, and the windows were wide open on all sides, and although the windows were large, they were still stuffy.
On the shelf in the corner of the side, Kaichi saw something he had customized. First of all, there was a swarthy hatchet with a cold glint on the edge, and next to the hatchet, there was a bundle of arrows tied together.
The reason why Jia Yi recognized it as his own at a glance was mainly because the firewood knife was too conspicuous, and it was the first time that there was a hook on the front of the knife in this world. Although this kind of knife is not good at cutting people, it is a good hand to chop wood to open the way, and the hook at the front end can hook the branches and vines, so you don't have to worry about chopping away.
Old Feywood stepped forward and took the firewood knife to Jiayi: "Look at it, are you still satisfied!"
Kaichi picked up the knife and waved it twice, looking at the edge carefully, the edge of the knife was not particularly sharp, but it was very durable. A sharp knife edge means that the knife edge is thin, and if it is thin, it is easy to knock out a crack. Especially this kind of firewood knife that is often used to cut firewood to open the road, there are many things to cut, and durability is more important.
Jiayi took a section of wood under the iron-making stove, although the iron is made of carbon, but it still needs firewood to make a fire. Jia Yi chopped down this firewood with a few knives, and the firewood was only two fingers thick, and it was easily cut off.
"That's right, this knife. Kaichi exclaimed.
"Of course, although it is a chai knife, I also made it with care, and the steel clamping technology used for the knife edge is sharper and harder. The blade is thickened according to your requirements, and the front end is heavier, although it is more laborious to wield, but it is more reliable and durable, and it is more labor-saving to chop. Old Felwood introduced.
Jiayi took a closer look and suddenly said, "You don't have an anti-rust coating, aren't you cutting corners?"
"What kind of anti-rust coating do you add to this chai knife, I have dealt with the blade, and it is not easy to rust. "There's a latent word that old Feywood doesn't say, and this treatment is certainly not as good as an anti-rust coating.
Jia Yi thought about it, and even if it was a firewood knife, it was easy to grind off even if there was an anti-rust coating, and it was not often seen in water. In the end, it's just a farm tool.
Then there are those arrow shafts, which are very well made and about the same size and specifications, and the difference is almost invisible to the naked eye, and they are all very straight. The crossbow arrows that Jiayi brought himself were a little insufficient, but the creation of the arrows was very time-consuming, so he could only compromise them, and the crossbow arrows would be recycled and reused after they were shot, and if the arrow shaft was broken, he would replace it with an arrow shaft.
His arrows are made of stainless steel, but they are not easily broken.
But if there is an accident that causes the arrow to not be recovered, then there is no way, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Pick up the things and put them in the backpack, and Jia Yi is ready to withdraw.
"Alas... That, that, mage, you said last time you wanted to buy my dwarf forging method, also, do you still buy it?" It's probably because the two of them feel that there is not much chance of meeting in the future.
The last time Jia Yi said that he wanted to buy old Feywood's "secret method", although he refused at the time, but after thinking about it, he was a little loose. After all, Jia Yi is a mage, it is impossible to really put down his body to strike iron, as long as he makes it clear and does not spread, it will not have much impact on their own family.
To put it bluntly, this technology was not invented by themselves, and they learned it from the dwarves, and it was just that no one else in this city knew it, and of course he himself wouldn't.
Later, after Jia Yi seemed to be lacking in interest, old Feywood really had a plan to sell the dwarf's "secret method". So he stepped up his time, built all Jiayi's customized things in advance, and went to the Chamber of Commerce to invite Jiayi over.
Delivering ahead of schedule is just an excuse, and it's true to want to ask for Jiayi's bid.
"Oh! have you figured it out, are you going to sell it?" Although Jia Yi is not very interested now, if old Fei Wood really has a plan to sell, Jia Yi is still willing to buy it.
It turned out that the main reason for the loss of interest was that he did not want to spend energy to bargain with old Felwood. Now that old Feywood has offered it, Kaichi also wants to take it down to see what the dwarves' skills are superior to.
Felwood Sr. said: "I thought about it a little later, and I thought you were quite right. We can't master this dwarf's technique, and there's no point in sticking with it. Let's see what other inspiration we might be able to learn that will help us master this craft. ”
Speaking of this, old Felwood paused, and seemed to be struggling in his heart: "However, I don't want to get all the money, I hope you can help us improve our weapon-making skills." Moreover, once you have obtained the dwarven skills, you want to keep them secret and not pass them on to others. ”
The elder Feywood still prefers technology, in his eyes, there is a specialty is the long-term solution, and those with technology will not starve to death.
In the words of Jiayi's previous life, this is called "sustainable development".
"No problem!" said Kaichi, "I can help you transform your furnace to make it hotter, I have several recipes for wrought iron here, which can also increase the quality of the steel, and finally, after you give me the dwarven forging technique, if I find anything, I will also copy it to you." ”
"That's great, I've heard that mages are very smart, and you can definitely come up with something useful. I hope this skill can be carried forward in your hands. Old Felwood finally said.
Jiayi suddenly got a little unaccustomed to it, why did he refuse his beard so resolutely two days ago and talk so well today, it's like a different person. Except for old Faywood himself, no one else knew what he thought, so he could only think it out suddenly.
Old Feywood asked Jia Yi and them to wait here, and he returned to the room, and after a while, he took out a square object wrapped in oiled paper, which was probably the so-called "dwarven secret method".
"Here you go!"
Old Felwood handed the package to Jiayi, said only two words, and went back.
Jia Yi saw that he was not in a good mood, so he didn't say anything, and said to the young man of his apprentice: "I'll go back and copy this and return it to you later, which can be regarded as a souvenir." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's still there, I'll go see my master. ”
"Forget it, let's go first, I'll remodel the stove for you tomorrow. "Jia Yi originally wanted to say a few jokes, but it didn't feel right to think about it, so he gave up.
Old Feywood's expression made Kaichi feel guilty as if he had done something to them, but to be honest, it was actually the benefit they had gotten greater. It should be that the so-called dwarven technique should not be too rare for mages, since old Feiwood's grandfather can get it, then others should also be able to get it, maybe they will all digest and absorb it, and develop a version that is more suitable for the human race.
Jia Yi only happened to be at the right time to want to buy this so-called "dwarven secret method".
After Jia Yi left, the young man went to find his master: "Master, did you really give them the dwarf forging technique just like this?"
"You've seen it too, do you think you can learn?"
Seeing that his apprentice shook his head, he continued: "Since you can't learn it, what's the use of keeping it? It's better to change some practical ones, if the skills provided by the other party are good enough, then maybe we will make a lot of money."
"I'm just, a little bit sorry for the family.
"I don't regret it!"
