Chapter 246: The Situation in the City Changes
Armill Boots
Author: polaris-an
The interruption of trade routes for nearly ten consecutive days made the merchants in the city panic, and although the army was stationed in the city, it did not make them feel at ease. Some merchants entrusted their houses to intermediaries for resale early, and left the Holy Beast City with their goods and small families. Housing prices in the city plummeted for a while.
In order to raise money, John began the day after he became a saint, and every day he took his younger siblings to the city to retail and repair the sacred water. Belle's Restoration Water is only sold in the academy, but people in the city have no chance to buy it, and the city is still in high demand. John's Ganlin technique will produce hundreds of drops of repair divine water, and the fierce battle at the head of the city has made the repair divine water in short supply, and the price is high. The younger brothers and sisters sold it for a few days in a row, and they earned tens of thousands of gold coins. Spent thousands of gold coins to buy a large mansion facing the street in the city from an intermediary.
Originally, this mansion was half living and half merchant, and it was the property of a silk merchant. The three entrances in front are shops, and the two entrances in the back are the houses of the residents. At the street of the shop is a small three-story building, and someone has hired someone to change the door to the Holy Sword Alliance. The siblings are temporarily running their own shops, and in addition to repairing the divine water, they also resell some ordinary potions, all of which are made by the younger siblings who are studying the art of potions. These potions are sold with the Restoration Divine Water, but they are clearly layered.
John visited the city for a few days, and at noon one day he brought a carriage and two blacksmiths, an old man and a young man, into the Holy Sword Alliance, and arranged for them to set up a shop in the second courtyard. This old and young are honest blacksmiths, who used to make metal swords, but they don't have much capital, and they don't know any stunts, and the swords they make are not peculiar, and the business is not good, and most of the time they are repairing swords for others.
The old blacksmith's name is Rick Gern, and the young blacksmith's name is Werther Gern, the two come from a northern family, and they are distant uncles and nephews, not masters and apprentices, and both have their own skills inheritance. According to the two of them, their family has dwarven blood, and the style of sword production is first of all quality, followed by pattern, and will never make a sword weapon with a gorgeous appearance but does not conform to the habit of power and the linearity of the flow of the sword element in order to meet the needs of customers.
Of the two original swords left by Warren, John took one and showed it to most of the blacksmiths in the city. The result of everyone's comments is that although Hua Lun's original sword is poorly decorated, the sword-shaped structure design is smooth, which meets the requirements of the circulation of the sword element, and the material used is the best bronze, and the surface is fine and introverted and smooth, giving people a feeling of being natural, and it is by no means a mortal who can build it by hand, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a holy sword. Of course, this is the bronze that Hua Lun refined and calcined with spiritual fire, and if he continues to calcin, he will refine the copper essence. However, that would be too wasteful, after all, the user is only a swordsman who has not yet built a foundation.
John asked the blacksmiths to imitate Warren's original sword, but was refused. The reason is that the original sword is too rudimentary, but it has a distinctive character, and it is too difficult to imitate, and if it ends up being nondescript, it will smash their brand. Almost all the blacksmiths in the city, no one wants to take orders. Until they found Uncle Gunn's nephew, the two saw this bronze sword with a hollowed-out handle, Rick burst into tears, Werther eyebrows danced, and the two of them were amazed that they could see the holy weapon in their lifetime.
John tried to ask the two to copy it, but the two agreed again and again, and John was worried about whether the two would abscond with their swords. In the end, John still left the original sword and asked them to copy fifteen, and five days later to get it. When he went to fetch it on the fifth day, John was extremely satisfied with the shape and strength of the holy sword imitated by Uncle and Gunn, who not only imitated it vividly, but also added delicate and special scales to the originally poorly decorated blade. Seeing John's appreciation, the two of them felt a little guilty, explaining that they couldn't achieve the exquisite sword surface of the original sword, and only left these lines to cover up.
John paid the money and took away fifteen bronze swords, and let Maria test them one by one, which was enough to install hardwood with a magic array, and the sword body was still strong after activating the magic array, but it was not as strong as the two original swords, and after chopping each other more than ten times, it was estimated that the imitation sword would break. However, John was already satisfied, so he approached Uncle Gunn and invited them to join the Holy Sword Alliance and become the exclusive blacksmith within the alliance.
The two consulted with each other, and finally put forward one condition, that is, if they could own the original sword, they would be willing to serve the alliance for the rest of their lives. Although they didn't know what the Coalition was, John, the good guy, had a reputation and was not too bad.
John thought about it, there were two original swords in Warren, one was enshrined in the alliance, and the other was given to Uncle Gern's nephew, but there was a condition. In the end, the two sides agreed that Uncle and Grace would become the enshrinement of the alliance and serve the alliance for the rest of their lives, and they would not be allowed to make swords for outsiders. The original sword can be given to Uncle Gunn's nephew, but it cannot be transferred, and it can be passed on, but the inheritor must continue to be an alliance enshrinement and must not serve outsiders.
After the contract was signed, John filled the original sword with a hardwood engraved with a magic circle and inlaid with a magic core, and Uncle Gunn learned the true purpose of the hollowing out of the handle. The uncle and nephew originally thought that the hollowed out handle was a special design concept, because the hollowing did not reduce the strength and practicality of the sword, and even if hardwood was not installed, it would not affect the strongest power. As professional blacksmiths, uncles and nephews are all swordsmen, and their mental power is particularly strong.
When they realized that it was a demonic sword, the uncle and nephew were overwhelmed with excitement: Rick wept again, and Witt wielded the sword until he was exhausted. Subsequently, John proposed to relocate the blacksmith shop to the Holy Sword Alliance, and the two followed John to the Holy Sword Alliance without objection. When the blacksmith was rebuilt, Rick clinged to the original sword, and Witt quickly created a new imitation, asking John for a piece of hardwood engraved with a magic circle and inlaid with a magic core, which he kept as his own saber.
Early the next morning, Wei Lun took ten core brothers and thirty ordinary brothers and sisters to take a detour to the Holy Beast Forest, where they planned to hunt high-level spirit beasts. The reason why she dared to bring ordinary siblings was because Laura made the Demon Martial Shield: a kind of magic shield-like thing, shaped like a fist glove, and when it was worn on the hand and activated, a magic shield would appear in front of her.
The Demon Warrior Shield is also made of hardwood, and it is fused with the fist gauntlet, giving it the appearance of a crude fist glove. The activated magic shield is very similar to the magic shield cast by the magician, except that the magic shield can cover the magician's whole body in all directions, up, down, left, right, front, and back. The magic shield, on the other hand, is centered on the fist glove and appears in a space of one meter around the fist glove, which can protect against all kinds of attacks from the front within two meters of length and width.
The Demon Martial Saint Shield in the left hand and the Demon Martial Saint Sword in the right hand have become the standard equipment for members of the Holy Sword Alliance. As long as you meet a swordsman who has strong sword skills and is a swordsman or above, the members of the Holy Sword Alliance will become an undefeated myth
