Chapter Thirty-Nine: Equipping the Left Sword and Right Scythe
At noon on the second day, the sun was in full swing, but the air was still cold because it was winter.
Wang Gou came to the large gathering place in the west early in the morning.
Later, he hid his whereabouts and found a shopkeeper, and under the half-threat and half-profit, Wang Gou asked the shopkeeper to take two gold and a weapon blueprint to a blacksmith shop to customize weapons.
At this time, Wang Gou was bent over the edge of a deformed corner of the roof, observing a street in the distance with a telescope.
He saw the shopkeeper on the street walking in a panic with a baggage, and then entered the door of a blacksmith shop.
After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper finally walked out of the blacksmith shop, and there was a blacksmith guy behind the shopkeeper who sent him out.
At the same time, in Wang Gou's telescope, I saw that the blacksmith shop guy was still looking around the door, as if he was looking for something, and he looked a little clever.
The shopkeeper was walking towards the route given by Wang Gou, only walking through the street less than a meter, and two ordinary people dressed up walked out of the blacksmith shop, and their steps were obviously third-rate masters.
The two of them took a look at the figure of the shopkeeper, and then followed, although the crowd on this street was not much, but it was enough for the two good hands to walk in it inconspicuously.
Wang Gou saw this scene in the telescope, and said in his heart that this gathering place is indeed very complicated, and even a customized weapon has to be followed.
The shop that Wang Gou let the shopkeeper enter was the blacksmith shop where he had bought dark iron sand before, which was the most famous blacksmith shop in the gathering place, and it was said that it was the fastest and best way to build weapons, so Wang Gou naturally planned to let him make the weapons he intended to use.
Wang Gou plans to customize his left knife and right sickle melee weapon, as for the eight knife flow weapons for the time being, there is no need to make them, and they will be built after fully confirming the various parameters of the eight knives in the future.
Regarding weapons, such as knives, Wang Gou has learned that they can be divided into three levels, namely ordinary swords, ten refining refined knives, and hundred refining refined knives.
Ordinary swords are generally weapons forged by conventional methods, and the forging time is also shorter, and the price of an ordinary sword is about - two silver.
As the most commonly used combat weapon, its strength is stronger than that of household knives, and it is enough to meet the needs of second-rate masters without breaking the blade.
A second-rate peak master also needs to perform one hard slash to cut an ordinary sword at the same point, while a first-class master can cut it with all his strength.
The Ten Refining Refined Knife is forged using several techniques, and generally requires more than a dozen or dozens of forgings, even the forging master takes a certain amount of time and energy, and the price of a Ten Refining Refined Knife is between a hundred taels and hundreds of taels of silver.
This is the knife used by most second-rate peak masters, and it requires a first-class master to slash close and down at the same point.
As for the first-class peak, in the information that Wang Gou knew, the first-class peak was not used to evaluate the quality of weapons.
The Hundred Refining Refined Knife is not as high as a hundred times of forging, but similar to the Ten Refining Refined Knife that is forged to the extreme using various techniques, except that special ores are mixed in different ways during the forging process.
As new ores are constantly being discovered, the types and quantities of these ores are constantly increasing, so the price of a hundred refining knives is mostly only about two silver.
Wang Gou didn't know how many first-class masters could cut off the Hundred Refining Essence Knife.
But from the fighting records and descriptions of some of the characters on the master list, he knew that even if it was a long-term battle of a first-class master, there would only be some gaps in the hundreds of refining swords, and there would be no cases of complete breakage.
As Wang Gou continued to move between the rooftops in the distance and used a telescope to observe the direction of the shopkeeper, Wang Gou found that the two people who followed the shopkeeper were not in a hurry at all, and kept a distance of twenty or thirty meters behind him.
Soon after.
After several turns, the shopkeeper finally reached a laneway and approached the corner at the end of the lane.
This alley is more than 50 meters long and very narrow, and there are city dwellers on both sides, and there are no businesses, so there is no one else in the alley.
The two people in the back looked at the quiet alleyway, and together they planned to let one of them continue to follow through the alley, and the other passed through the alley on the left.
It's just that as soon as the two of them finished summing up, a black shadow flashed around them, and they instantly slapped the back of their heads, knocking them unconscious.
This black shadow is naturally Wang Gou.
To deal with two third-rate miscellaneous fish, relying on his current unmatched speed, he naturally only needs to do it casually.
Then Wang Gou immediately rushed to the corner of the alley, saw the shopkeeper waiting at the corner, and then asked
"How's it going? Tell me about the weapon."
The shopkeeper bowed his head respectfully and handed over a piece of stamped paper, and said at the same time
"The shopkeeper said that the price was two gold, and two as a deposit was enough. There are two days left to pick up the goods in the afternoon, which is the voucher for pick-up"
After hearing this, Wang Gou nodded with satisfaction, and after taking the coupon, he threw it to the shopkeeper two taels of gold, and then disappeared in a flash.
The shopkeeper saw Wang Gou leave, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then saw the two gold on his hands, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Add to that the two gold that the masked man had rewarded before, and that was a full two gold, which was the amount he could only save in five years!
The most reward he received in the inn before was only two silver, which was rare in a year, and he was deducted by the shopkeeper.
I've always heard that there are other little two people who have worked for dozens of taels of silver, but I didn't expect this good thing to happen to him, but this person is a little mysterious in doing things.
Indeed, in order to have no other twists and turns before creating a weapon, Wang Gou did not bring a knife with a bow and arrow on this trip, but only some hidden weapons.
He even changed his appearance into a normal blue-gray outfit and a black cloth mask.
Wang Gou returned to the cave that day, and in order to reduce the possible twists and turns, he felt that it was acceptable to walk more, and at his current speed, it would take less than an hour to go back and forth.
......
Inside the blacksmith's shop.
The fat shopkeeper looked at the two people and reconfirmed suspiciously
"Don't you really see him, can't you even see the color of his clothes?"
These two were the two third-rate players who followed the shopkeeper that day, and they woke up after being knocked unconscious for a few hours, and then returned to the blacksmith shop on their own.
At this time, the two of them nodded at the same time, and said "um" to indicate certainty.
After that, the fat shopkeeper pondered to himself, and whispered slightly
"The usual shop is a small two...... A master who doesn't show any traces......"
......
Two days later, at noon, Wang Gou reappeared at the large gathering place in the west.
He brought all the weapons this time, and was standing at the back door of the blacksmith shop at this time, listening to the movement in the blacksmith shop, Wang Gou suddenly climbed inside.
In the hall of the blacksmith's shop, near the door of the backyard at the innermost point of the hall, there were two gray-black weapons on a table.
One of them is a long knife, the knife is centimeters long, the blade is centimeters long, the knife is centimeters wide, and the knife is one finger thick.
The other is a sickle with a thick iron chain of meters long, the handle of the sickle is half a meter long, the blade is also half a meter long, and the widest part of the blade is wider than a palm, about a dozen centimeters wide.
The fat shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop sat at the counter against the wall in the middle of the hall, looking at these two weapons, and sighed a little in his heart.
The design of the two weapons seems to be customized for the same person, and if the two weapons are used by the same person, then the person who intends to use this weapon should have extremely good martial arts attainments in the weapon.
Needless to say, long knives are commonplace, but scythes with chains are a xenomorph weapon.
The most commonly used weapons in the rivers and lakes are still long swords, followed by knives, then long-standing weapons such as guns and sticks, and finally xenomorphic weapons, including scissors, maces, iron fans, hammers, and so on.
Xenomorph weapons are generally used by masters with special martial arts or characteristics, including but not limited to physical defects, innate divine powers, speed and skill specificities, and so on.
This scythe with chains seemed to have a high requirement for strength, especially for operability, and he had learned many of the characteristics of martial arts, but none of them used this kind of weapon.
Similar weapons do exist, but the differences are also obvious, such as replacing the scythe with a weapon with a smaller weight, using a rope similar to a long whip for the connection, at least not such a thick chain, etc.
The fat shopkeeper thought about it, and then buried his head in looking at the accounts on the cabinet or what. At this time, the door of the store was wide open, and there was only one man in the hall sitting at a table reading miscellaneous books.
Wang Gou flipped into the backyard and looked around, there were several rooms around the backyard, and there was no movement in the rooms, so he opened the curtain from the courtyard and the hall and walked in.
After entering, Wang Gou looked around the hall and found that the fat shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were idle.
When he saw the two weapons on the table on the left-hand side, Wang Gou walked over in two steps, and then picked up the two weapons and looked at them.
Because Wang Gou's footsteps were very light when he entered the hall from the courtyard, the two people in the hall did not pay attention to this side, until Wang Gou picked up his weapon, and the two suddenly looked up and saw Wang Gou.
The two of them were shocked, as if they were surprised that a person suddenly came in the hall, looking at the door between the hall and the courtyard, the fat shopkeeper saw it in his eyes, and then was about to speak.
But Wang Gou had already turned around with a long knife, looked at the fat shopkeeper at the counter, and at the same time took out a bag of gold and threw it on the table next to him, and said first
"The weapon is not bad, this is the rest of the money, I will take the weapon!"
The fat shopkeeper, who wanted to continue to speak, stopped his mouth in time after seeing Wang Gou's outfit, and looked at Wang Gou with a little surprise in his eyes, until Wang Gou took two weapons and walked out of the door between the hall and the courtyard, his face returned to normal, and he glanced deeply at Wang Gou after going out.
After a while, the shopkeeper also came to the shopkeeper with a little shock and said in surprise
"Shopkeeper, it's a black arrow!"
Then the man walked over and took the bag of gold left by Wang Gou and put it on the counter, poured out the contents of the bag, and said after reading it
"It's indeed the remaining balance payment, as well as the coupons we issued"
The shopkeeper sighed in a fluttering voice
"No wonder looking at the characteristics of this weapon, I said how it seems that an unknown first-class master suddenly came out."
"If it were him, it would be normal, but he actually replaced the twin blades with this kind of xenomorph weapon"
"I thought it might be possible to bring in a master for the sect."
Man, that's what he said
"Shopkeeper, Elder Zhang is in the backyard lobby, why don't you let him try to touch the black arrow?"
The shopkeeper sighed
"Crow people, it's not good for us to have direct contact. The imperial court is now very jealous and concerned about me and a few other sects, and the crow organization also makes all small and medium-sized sects very hostile."
"Let's go in and tell Elder Zhang the news."
Then the shopkeeper walked out of the counter and into the backyard, and the man hurriedly reloaded the gold, and then followed.
The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly when he walked to the backyard, and he said in his heart
"Being able to come in from the backyard without alarming Elder Zhang is ......."
