Li Yufeng sent someone to send a message and asked the demon: "Would you like to go to the underground auction house?"

The demon replied, "Definitely go." ”

Young people should be young and energetic, curious, and not afraid of heaven and earth. Make an appointment with Li Yufeng on the meeting time and place. The demon went to the room where the book was copied, learned about the copying situation, and got the information: it can be copied at night, and tomorrow morning at the latest.

The demon repeatedly emphasized: "Check carefully, don't make a mistake, don't change a word, don't miss a word, otherwise you will deduct money." ”

In the evening, when it was the appointed time, the demon and Zhao Laosan sorted out their equipment, and the demon did not bring a spirit hammer, which was too conspicuous. Although Li Yufeng said not to bring money, just go and have a look. But the demon thought that he still had to bring some, and he could give money to save his life when the time came. The demon and Zhao Laosan each brought 1,000 taels of silver tickets to the agreed place.

There are already three people at the agreed place, Li Yufeng and Li Yuhe, and a middle-aged man. Li Yufeng introduced him as his sixth uncle, named Li Fengyang. As soon as everyone exchanged pleasantries, they hit the road.

On the way, Li Yufeng's sixth uncle introduced to you some of the situation of the underground auction house:

"The underground auction house was ostensibly held by the underworld, but it was supported by the white way, various major factions, and the acquiescence of the government. The handling fee for the seller is 10%, and the withdrawal fee for a game is more than 30,000 taels, which is very profitable, and the four companies will take it. Because each family needs some resources that they don't have to trade, this auction house was born. The venue is absolutely safe, and no one dares to hurt people and grab things, otherwise they will be hunted down by all sides. It doesn't matter outside the field, so there are people who are staring at people inside the field, robbing people and killing people outside the field. If you don't have absolute strength, don't bring a lot of treasures and treasures with you. ”

"The auction house is held in the city today, which is much safer, so I will take you to see it and satisfy your curiosity. The auction house auction address time is generally fixed, sometimes there is change, very little. It's not like the black market, not anyone can enter, you have to be a recognized person, and the person you bring with you can get in. If you want to enter, you must be guaranteed by someone. Our family is a bit famous in Yangcheng, so it is recognized. The auction is held on the 1st and 11th of each month. Number 21. If you don't have money, don't shout the price, otherwise you will die a miserable death, because the people who come to the underground auction house are all strong and powerful people, and if there is no money to shout the price in the underground auction house, they will think that this person is deliberately coming to make trouble, and the troublemaker will either be maimed or killed. ”

"There are all kinds of items in the auction, they are all the best goods, and there are also the best of the best. The price increase of the starting goods is 5,000 taels of silver. If you still don't understand, you can ask. ”

When they arrived at the door of the underground auction house, Li Yufeng's sixth uncle showed a sign to the guards, and the four of them went in. Inside, Li Yufeng's sixth uncle gave each person a masked towel and said, "Put it on." Because bidding on something causes hatred, auction houses allow auctioneers to wear a veil to cover up and avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives. ”

The four of them found a seat and waited for the underground auction house to start the auction.

While waiting, Li Yufeng's sixth uncle chatted with the demon, but it was actually to find out, because he heard that there was a 15-year-old second-level casting and forging master, and he thought it was impossible. Because the casting and forging master is too selective, talent, hard work, chance, and master are all indispensable, and it is extremely difficult to train a casting and forging master above level three. The second level of the casting and forging master is not comparable to the second level of the leather artist, the planter, and the pharmacist. Leather artist, plant artist, pharmacist level 6 or below do not choose people, as long as they are not too stupid, too lazy, they can mix a level 4 by the age of 25, and a level 6 at the age of 50. The levels of leather artist, plant artist, and pharmacist are from level one to nine. Because many items need alloys to improve toughness and hardness, it can be said that there is a shortage of forgers and forgers to make items. And the demon is so small that he is a second-level forging master, and his future is immeasurable, so he must have more contact and more blending. That's why Li Yufeng's sixth uncle came forward to bring the demon and Zhao Laosan to the underground auction house.

"Demon, which school are you in??" Li Yufeng's sixth uncle, Li Fengyang, pretended not to know.

"Sixth uncle, I am in the school in Surabaya City, majoring in casting and forging. "The demon followed Li Yufeng and called Li Fengyang Sixth Uncle.

"Oh, that casting and forging major is very famous, mainly because the teacher is a fourth-level casting and forging master. This teacher is very famous and respected, and he is the only one of the fourth-level forgers who teaches in the academy. Li Yufeng said with a sigh.

"Yes. The teacher is very good, answers all questions and is respected. The demon said respectfully.

"Are you from Surabaya City?" Li Fengyang continued.

"No, it's a county seat. "The demon doesn't want to tell the truth.

"Then how did you get to the Surabaya City Academy, the county town is far from Surabaya City, aren't your parents worried?" Li Fengyang continued to ask without hurry.

"My parents died. I'm alone. The demon said flatly.

"Oh. Excuse me. Does a man mean that he has not yet married a wife and had children, and is he betrothed?"

"I'm still a student. If your studies are not extinguished, why should you be at home. The demon smiled and said with a bite to the word.

"How can you be ambitious at an advanced age!" Li Fengyang also said with a chewing mouth.

The demon and Li Fengyang looked at each other and laughed.

The underground auction house began. The first is a short sword with an aura. Caught the attention of the demon and wanted to know its price. Because a similar handful was robbed in the bandits' den. This short sword is graded: Aura Strength is Extremely Weak Level 1, Aura Activity is Level 3 Low, Aura Adaptability is Level 6, and Level 10 Spiritual Object.

In the end, the short sword was sold for 18,000 taels.

Li Fengyang said: "Don't worry. It's just an appetizer. There are a few more. The more you get to the end, the better things get. ”

The next few pieces, hundred-year-old ginseng, rhinoceros skin, and demons don't understand these, so they just watch the excitement.

"This one," the auctioneer's voice suddenly became excited: "This is an armor with aura, because it is damaged, so it will not be graded, but it can be repaired." This armor is a product of the clan, which was obtained from the battlefield by a general of the country, and the starting price is 100,000 taels. There is also a piece of armor that is not from this dynasty, which was also obtained on the battlefield, without aura, and was attached to the auctioneer who auctioned the armor with aura. Auctioneers can go to the exhibition to see it, set their own price, and finally auction the item. Now move on to the auction of other items. ”

The demon was immediately interested in this armor, and the demon was a forger and forger of course interested in the armor, mainly because it was worth 100,000 taels. The demon asked Li Fengyang, "Can I go and see it?"

Li Fengyang replied, "You can see it." But don't shoot, you can't pay if you shoot, and the punishment is very severe. ”

The armor is hung on a "big" shaped wooden frame, and there is a public announcement before the price of the wood: the armor weighs 52 pounds, with two layers inside and outside, and is seriously damaged, so the aura is not easy to evaluate, and it is only allowed to look at it but not to touch it. There are still people guarding the side of the armor, and they are not allowed to touch it.

The armor as a whole is very complete, from head to toe there is not a single part missing, but it is badly damaged, and it is normal not to give an aura rating.

There are at least 50 scratches on the front of the armor, back, arms, and thighs, which are caused by the attack weapon slipping on the armor.

There are no less than 20 dents in the front of the armor, back, arms, and thighs, indicating that they were caused by heavy weapons smashing and chopping.

There is a circular hole-like penetrating damage under the armor's ribs, as if it was pierced by a gun-like weapon. The underrib is where the armor protection is weak, as the flexibility of the wearer's waist is taken into account.

The demon speculated: The general wearing the armor was besieged by many people, the battle was very fierce, and he received many blows on his body, but because of the protection of the armor, he was not fatally injured, and finally was stabbed in the heart by the master with a gun from the ribs and died, and the armor worn by the deceased also became a trophy.

The demon commented on this armor: the materials are exquisite and well-made, but the production process is not complicated, it is complicated.

The demon's evaluation of the damaged part of the armor is: scratches and dents are easy to deal with, and the round hole-like damage is not easy to deal with. One is the material: it is difficult to find alloys and leather that are the same as the alloy used in the armor and the aura of the leather. The second is the process: it is necessary for senior tailors and casters and forgers to cooperate.

The attached armor was stacked on the side, which could be touched and spread out to see. The demon also looked at the armor carefully. This armor is a foreign product.

The demon compared the two pieces of armor and found a difference.

Imported armor: Assembled with large pieces and wrapped around the body, like an iron can, which is good for defending against smashing and slashing. But the shortcomings are obvious, the flexibility is poor, and it is not too much to describe it as too poor.

Armor of this dynasty: Let's not talk about aura first. The innermost layer is leather armor, and the second layer is fish scale armor, which is made of small pieces of armor leaves made of different alloys, and then overlapped. There are bowl-sized alloy goggles on the chest and back.

The chest and back of this armor is not inferior to the armor of imported products, and the piercing ability of crossbows and spear weapons is much stronger than that of imported armor, after all, it is a 2-layer armor. However, the ability of the upper and lower limbs, waist, and neck to resist smashing and slashing is weaker than that of imported armor, but the wearer's upper and lower limbs, waist, and neck are much more flexible.

In addition, the martial arts of this dynasty pay attention to the flexibility of the waist and the six ways of seeing and listening to the eight directions, the neck is not flexible, the head can not rotate freely, how to see the six ways and listen to the eight directions, the waist is not flexible, how to play their own level of martial arts, and the upper and lower limbs and body movements. You wear a cotton coat and wave the weapon in your hand and you strip naked and wave the weapon in your hand, you don't feel the same. To put it bluntly: the upper and lower limbs are affected by the armor they are wearing, resulting in limb inflexibility, which will seriously affect the wearer's attack power and dodge ability.

The armor is dead and stationary, and the man is alive and moving. The defensive power of armor can only be reflected when worn on the human body. It doesn't make much sense to compare the defensive power of 2 sets of armor purely from a static point of view. For example, if you wear the armor of the dynasty, you can move and turn flexibly to resist the opponent's attacks with the chest and back with the highest defense, while avoiding the attacks on the waist and neck, which are weakly defensive. And the wearer's high flexibility will make the wearer's attack swift, accurate, and endurance prolonged.

Even if you resist hard, you have to pay attention to skill. For example, if your opponent's gun weapon stabs vertically at your back, as long as you have good flexibility and fast reaction, you can turn your body to make the stabbing gun weapon angle to the back defense surface of the armor you are wearing, so that the opponent's weapon will slip on your armor, and you will not suffer penetrating damage. If your body turns fast enough, you turn 180 degrees to face the opponent who rushes over, and the opponent's weapon has been stabbed out and has not had time to retract, can you seize this opportunity to attack the opponent!!

The demon believes: "Reducing the wearer's agility and mobility in order to increase a little defense will also reduce the wearer's attack power and evasion ability, and the gain outweighs the loss." I'm still inclined to use the armor of the Honcho. What's more, this dynasty still has a special aura theory, but I don't understand it yet. ”

Until the end of the auction, the demon was observing and comparing these 2 sets of armor, as if watching a sexy beauty. The demon has learned a lot about how to build and assemble armor parts, but unfortunately he can't see the inside of the armor with aura. The demon thinks so much, so much, touch the armor with aura, just a moment.

The auction was over, everyone said goodbye, and the demon returned to the inn, his mind full of the armor.

There are many types of armor depending on the material used and the structure of the armor

Cao Wei Cao Zhi in the Three Kingdoms Era Cao Zhi in the "First Emperor Bestows Ministers with Armor": "The first emperor gave his ministers armor, one collar for black light and one for bright light, one collar for two armors, one collar for ring lock armor, one collar for horse armor, and one collar for the Gong Dynasty to promote peace, the military revolution was fine, and he begged to pay the armor Cao to take care of himself." ”

"Zhou Shu Cai You Biography": "You are wearing bright light iron armor, and you are unstoppable. The enemy said, 'This is an iron beast', and they all avoided it. ”

"History of the South" Volume 39 - Biography 29 :

Enter the filial piety of the champion general, the false festival, and the military of the forward. The royal battle first has Zhuge Liang sleeve armor, iron hat, twenty-five stone crossbow shot can not enter, and the ancestors are given filial piety. Filial piety to the ancestors of their sincerity, the generals. When the thief was based on the ochre, the filial ancestor will attack it, and the general Wang Xuanmo farewell, sad and invincible, and shocked.

On March 3 of the second year of the beginning of Thailand, he fought with the thief, and often followed himself with a drum in every battle. The people in the army said: "Yin Tongjun can be described as a dead general, and now it is fighting with thieves, and it is self-marked with Yuyi, if the shooter shoots with ten hands, he wants to be killed." "It's the middle of the day. Posthumously presented to the Marquis of Jian'an County, he said Zhong.

The demon thought to himself: "This Yin Xiaozu is also too arrogant, relying on the excellent armor of "Zhuge Liang's sleeve armor, iron hat, and twenty-five stone crossbow shots", "self-following with a drum cover" and "self-marking with a feather instrument", the enemy can judge that it is not the main general but also a great official, and the beheading operation of the ancients will also. This Yin Xiaozu became the target of everyone, but the boat capsized in the gutter, "it was the middle of the day and the arrow died". Armor is not omnipotent, and you can't be too high-profile and become the target of public criticism. People should know how to survive and survive, and do things in a low-key way in order to save their lives. ”
