Tie Zhongbi asked, "Uncle Phantom, do you mean to let these two children investigate the origin of the knife?"

"yes. ”

"This, wouldn't it be too child's play. ”

"Why, your brother can't even protect his two children!"

"No, no, no. If you say that, then I will understand - mid-base, you have to take care of these two children. ”

"Don't worry, big brother! Since Uncle Phantom trusts me, then I will definitely die. ”

Phantom Xi snorted: "Phew, baa, I'm dying before I leave the school." ”

The King of Freedom didn't reprimand him, he turned around and left, not even bothering to give a word.

On the same day, Tie Zhongli set up a carriage and rushed to Qingzhou Mansion with Phantom Sunset and a knife.

Tie Zhonglei hadn't actually been to Shandong, so it wasn't difficult for him to get to the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion, but it was a bit difficult to find Shendao Village.

It's still the path that the sunset showed him. Although Phantom Xisha doesn't know the Divine Sword Village, he knows the location of the Divine Sword Village, Linzi County!

He happened to be here when he asked for food. It's just that the specific address of Shendao Village is not in Linzi County. But as long as you arrive in this county, it is equivalent to finding the Divine Sword Village, because half of the industries in this county are the business of the Divine Knife Village, and you can be notified if you find a place that sells knives.

Of course, the place where knives are sold can't be all over the street. After all, this thing can be controlled, and you have to get permission from the county government before you can operate it. However, some technical tools are naturally not included in this list. Just like the sword of Longquan County, it is an industry, and the county government will naturally not restrict it.

There is nothing worth describing along the way, and the three of them entered the territory of Linzi County on this day. The periphery is also the same countryside, and black veins can indeed be seen in the distance.

After entering the county seat, the three of them found a relatively regular knife shop. This shop can have a range of more than ten zhang, and there are knife holders, knife cabinets, and all kinds of long and short knives in the store. In addition to retail sales, I occasionally receive large orders from the imperial court, and a dozen are tens of thousands of handfuls. Of course, these standard swords are naturally a little lacking in quality, but the shops sell all high-quality products, and the worst ones are eighteen folds of refined steel knives. The best thing is naturally the Meteorite Knife, but Meteorite also has good and bad qualities, not the same quality.

The most conspicuous thing when entering the door is a Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which can be seven feet eight high. The past was upside down, the weight was unknown, and he couldn't do it at all. The big knife was stuck in the knife holder, and he pulled it upwards without moving.

Tie Zhongli showed his identity, and the shopkeeper hurriedly gave a salute and personally brought it to the Divine Sword Village.

The location of the Shendao Village is not too mysterious, but it is a little far away from the county seat, surrounded by a large number of villages, and the Shendao Village is hidden in these villages.

In fact, these villages were originally the peripheral industries of Shendao Village, and each village had a blast furnace, and the smelted iron was forged by blacksmiths.

Although the headquarters compound of the Divine Sword Village is in these villages, their real core mansion is in a dense forest. Knife making also requires a lot of wood, so the forest is also a necessary industry for the sword village.

However, the shopkeeper led the three of them to the compound of the Divine Sword Village, and it is said that their core mansion is inhabited by family members and has a lot of treasures.

Sha Zhantang, the owner of the Shendao Village, is practicing martial arts in the compound, seeing his gold-backed machete dancing like a tiger, there is a copper ring the size of a bowl hanging on the knife peak, the sound of dancing is continuous, the knife is flickering, and it is powerful and extraordinary.

His father Sha Ke is known as the King of Swords in the rivers and lakes, and the owner of this sand village has now inherited his father's title of King of Swords, and this big knife is naturally inherited from his father's hands.

Although Sha Zhantang wears a short fight, it is full of luxury, and his knife is silver-plated and gold-plated, and the bead ring is hung with emerald, which looks gorgeous.

Phantom Xi couldn't help but look at the big knife behind Tie Zhongji's back.

His knife belongs to the short Pu knife, and the knife momentum is also grand, but it is straight up and down, although it also has the arc of a big knife, but there is no good-looking knife peak and hanging ring, not to mention the beads with silver! The tip of the knife is in the style of an upward sloping ship, and it is naturally not as good as the tip of Sha Zhantang's moon-curved arc! Even his knife does not even have a decent scabbard, but is just wrapped in a leather case. It looks really shabby.

Sha Zhantang was relieved when he saw someone who had put away his moves, handed the big knife to his minions, and greeted him with a loud laugh: "Brother Tie, why are you." Could it be that the leader of the alliance has come to a letter to start a war!"

That's kind of what it means. But if you want to go to war, you have to have a target, so our first task is to investigate this matter clearly. ”

"Alas, I'm not just idle these days, and I've secretly checked several times without any clues-who are these two little brothers?"

"Oh. They were introduced by the Phantom Demonic Seniors. This little brother's name is Knife, and the man who told you the news was his father's killer. As for this person called Phantom Sunset, he is a senior disciple of Phantom Demon Evil. ”

"Oh. I see. However, these two little brothers are a little young, and it will be too child's play to participate in such a thing. ”

"That's what the King of Joy means. I've got to protect them anyway. ”

As soon as Phantom Xisha saw that these two people thought that he and Xiaodao were children, he despised them, and immediately said to Sha Zhantang: "Lord of Shazhai." I'm small, but I'm very good at analyzing things. Let me ask you a question: the messenger said that there was a large piece of meteorite, so why didn't you take it yourself? ”

"Little brother, you don't know about this. We have several groups of such people almost every day. Naturally, we can't monopolize the surrounding mining areas, and there are many loose ores that can be mined freely. Some people occasionally come out with good ore and sell it to us. Our mine is a surface mine, and although most of the good things are underneath, we can occasionally pick up one or two pieces of good quality ore to make a dagger or something. Usually this kind of ore is picked up by the scattered miners and directly sold to us. But some of the big pieces were not easy to transport, so they would take us to the mines. You said that if I went there in person every time, I would be busy?"

"Isn't this time special? That's a big piece of meteoric iron. ”

"Huh. That's what everyone said, but that's not the case when they went. But I regret it. How good it is for me to run once, more than 20 good men are just gone, so miserable. ”

Sha Zhantang sobbed as he spoke. I watched the phantom sunset and sweated repeatedly. But I expected that the owner of this sand village was a *, and I admired the illusion of the sunset. immediately comforted two sentences: "Lord of the sand village, don't worry." We will surely avenge the death of our brothers. Don't look at me as young, but I have a flexible brain, and although you are old, your brain may not turn around me. ”

"Little brother, it's not that we look down on you, but we're afraid that we won't take care of you. That mysterious man's knife skills are very tight. I don't think I'm anyone's match. But now that Brother Tie is here, I'm much more relieved. ”

"What, Lord Shazhai, do you want us to come into the house and sit down and have a cup of tea. It's really tiring to come all the way. ”

"Yes, yes, look at my head, it's really not bright. Let's go, go into the house and talk—go, tell the kitchen, make a good table. ”

The minions agreed and ran down to the kitchen. This sand village master is really stylish, and there are four minions waiting around him.

When they entered the house, naturally some of them made tea, and after distributing it to everyone, they retreated.

Phantom Xisha took a sip of tea and asked, "Lord of the Sand Village, how much of the area around here is the territory of your Divine Sword Village. ”

"Hey, I can't talk about territory or anything. The mines around this area for dozens of miles are the industry of our Shendao Village, and then there are retail investors. Those mines are not good, but they do occasionally have some iron bumps. ”

"What is an iron lump?"

"It's naturally smelted iron. For example, a lump of molten iron that was struck by lightning and melted out is a lump of iron when it solidifies. Or magma springs that gush directly from the ground, but most of them can only be found underground. ”

"Oh. In this way, the mined ore has to be smelted before it can be used. ”

"That's natural. Iron ore contains many impurities, and only after refining these impurities can iron can be forged. If it is forged, it can be done directly with iron. The higher the level of forging, the better the quality of the knife. Such knives are generally bought and sold in shops. If it's a large amount, we'll cast it. Casting needs to be mixed with some other metals to smelt into alloys, directly cast with molds, and polish them after they come out. ”

"It's like bronze weapons in ancient times. ”

"Well, almost. Copper is a metal that is too soft for forging knives. Forging swords is also only for decoration. However, the ancient swordsmith was very skilled, and bronze could be used to forge a peerless sword. There are some ancient bronze weapons in our Divine Sword Village collection, but there are no good quality weapons. But there is a bronze sword that is very rare, even three points more powerful than a refined steel sword. It's a pity that we can't study this casting process. ”

"Research can only be used as a reference. Since your Shendao Village forging knife has become an industry, and there is also a heritage, it should be developed well. But there is no need to be presumptuous. ”

"Well, of course, the inheritance of our ancestors must be well managed. I didn't expect that the phantom little brother was not very old, but his knowledge was not hidden. ”

"Hehe, Lord Shazhai, it's not me who blows to you, I've probably walked more places than you. ”

"Yes. So how did you get through so many places. ”

"Ask for food!"

The banquet was set, Sha Zhantang invited a few people to the table, and Phantom Xisha shook off his cheeks and struggled. The Sha Zhantang I saw was stunned.

After eating a full meal, Phantom Sunset looked for a soft collapse, lay up, and squinted.

Sha Zhantang and Tie Zhongli looked at each other, but they were all at a loss. On the contrary, looking at the knife again, it is much more sensible.
