Chapter 33: The Craftsman's Faith
Wang Chen and the three of them ignored the dissuasion of the old man and Ah Jin, and under the leadership of Xiao Ya, they went all the way to the stone room of the mine tyrant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Open the door with an iron head!" Xiao Ya stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously, and with a creak, a tall and strong man opened the door and appeared at the door. As soon as Wang Chen saw it, he was sure that this guy was a mine tyrant, because it seemed that he was much healthier than the people outside.
"We're going to buy weapons, but I heard that you took all the iron ore?" Wang Chen held his sword, and before the man could look up at him, he said aloud.
"Hmph, where did you come from something that doesn't know whether to live or die?" Dahan raised his head when he heard this, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, the corners of his mouth crooked, and he stepped in front of Wang Chen with a big stride, and his knee hit Xiao Ya's body, knocking her to the ground.
"Ahou. Wang Chen didn't move, he didn't even blink his eyelids, he called softly, and Yan Houbian punched the stone wall beside him. Listening to the sound of "dang", the entire stone cave shook several times, and the dust fell down. In the haze, everyone heard the sound of the big man spitting. When the dust settled, a hole the size of a watermelon in the stone wall could be seen inside the stone chamber. The big man swallowed again, and his head was covered with beads of sweat.
"You, I'm from the Four Elephant Pavilion!" the big man's eyes flashed with fear, and he continued to shout in a loud voice.
"Oh, is it?" Wang Chen's mouth hooked, "But why don't I think it's like it?" he smiled coldly, and continued, "I was fortunate enough to deal with the Four Elephant Pavilion twice. They're not the ones to be so troublesome. In this world, murder and arson are not serious crimes, but those who violate the law will never have a way to live. I see that you are just relying on the momentum of the Four Elephant Pavilion to bully your comrades! It's really hateful!" As soon as the words fell, a colorful sword qi burst out of the air, and a sword qi roared through Tietou's ear, and did not enter the stone wall.
The big man was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat, his mouth opened and closed, and it took a long time to pant evenly. His two small eyes rolled rapidly, as if thinking of a new way to respond.
But Wang Chen didn't plan to wait any longer, the people who oppressed his compatriots were even more hateful than the enemy. He pulled a sword flower and stabbed the tip of the big man's nose with a sword.
When it was too late, a person flew out, hugged Wang Chen's arm, and shouted, "Don't be a young man!" When he looked at it, it was Xiao Ya's grandfather, "Iron Head is not a bad person!" he then shouted loudly.
"You!" As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Chen was strict, but even the big man named Tietou was stunned in place.
"Grandpa, don't worry, we won't let them take revenge on you. Yan Hou was honest, stepped forward in two steps to help the old man up, and said sincerely.
"Oh! he's really not a bad guy!" the old man hurriedly shook off his thick hand and protected it in front of the iron head, "Alas, it's been almost ten years, and I didn't want to say it." Little bud, this kid!" The eyebrows on the old man's head were wrinkled together, and he couldn't tell whether he was complaining or sad on his face, which made Wang Chen feel very strange in his heart. I thought it was a plot to punish the traitor and eliminate the evil and clean up the mine tyrant, but this development made his brain fail to turn around for a while.
"We all know that the deal made by Tietou and Gengjin City Castle Guard is to protect us!"
"What?" as soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Xiao Ya looked at his grandfather like a monster.
"When the Western Kingdom fell, a group of compatriots were caught in the northern forge. However, the soil and mineral deposits over there were not suitable, so they could not make good utensils. So the cabinet asked Gengjincheng to hand over weapons and royal utensils every year, but the casters in other places had no skills to take care of the mines near Gengjincheng. Iron Head seized this opportunity to make a deal with the lord of the city, providing him with tools every year, and he no longer took the initiative to hunt down the casters of the Gengjin line. It's better to keep some blood. Because it was a private transaction, the city lord was also afraid of being known by the cabinet, so the ore materials had to be secretly figured out by the iron head himself. It's also very difficult for him to pay such a huge amount of equipment every year!" the old man said a long sentence tremblingly, and with each word, the iron head's expression became more surprised, and at last he could not help but cry out.
"How do you know?"
"In the past ten years, there have been fewer and fewer compatriots who have been captured near Gengjin City. You can guess it with a little observation. The old man turned to look at him and sighed, "It's just that there are only children like Xiaoya, and no one tells them." We also know that you let them fight each other to encourage everyone to practice martial arts and become stronger, and if they encounter the pursuit of the Sixiang Pavilion, they can survive more people. ”
Wang Chen and the others looked at Tietou, wanting to hear what he had to say, and after a long time, Tietou laughed embarrassedly, "I thought I had acted very well all these years." He pursed his thick lips, picked up the old man, patted Xiao Ya's head again, and looked at Wang Chen's eyes finally became calm, "I'm just an ordinary blacksmith, not powerful, I can't protect so many people." ”
"It's okay, Iron Head. It's been a lot better these years, we can hold on, and one day there will be heroes and heroes who will overthrow the rule of power!" I don't know when the passage was full of iron-striking men, and I don't know how much they suffered, and tears filled their eyes.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Wang Chen and the three of them stood aside with each other looking at each other, and this plot reversed their mood very gloomy.
"Young Hero!" Iron Head turned his face and arched his hand, "We just have a batch of weapons here ready to hand them over to the city lord." Behold, you are also righteous men. Just pick a few of them. Although it can't be compared with the divine weapons forged in the heyday of Gengjin City, it is better than the weapons in other places. ”
"Oh, that's good. Wang Chen nodded, his mouth shut, and Changlin took out all the silver from his body and put it in front of Tietou.
"I don't need so much!" Iron Head looked at such a large amount of money, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and he waved his hand again and again.
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to stop him from returning the money, "I can use it." There is nothing to do for a lone hero. Keep this craft well with your compatriots, and maybe the world will be able to use it in the future. ”
The iron head hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to let the money be accepted. He himself took Wang Chen and the three into the warehouse.
"Eh, what is this?" As he walked, suddenly a picture hanging on the wall caught Wang Chen's attention.
"Oh, this is the legendary blueprint for building weapons for Heavenly Dao masters. Iron Head explained with a smile, "But the materials are rare, and after the fall of the royal family, no one will use them anymore." ”
"Do Heavenly Dao masters still need weapons?" Wang Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment and asked.
"Metallic warriors are used less often, because the metal system itself has the ability to condense weapons. But the other four series need good weapons to exert their absolute strength. Tietou replied, "The four martial sect masters of the Sixiang Pavilion now use weapons that are forged according to this method. ”
"Oh, that's right. The sword of the man in Tsing Yi flashed in Wang Chen's mind, it turned out to be like this.
Looking at Wang Chen's thoughtful expression, Tietou continued to introduce, "This weapon must go to the Central Sacred Mountain to be tempered, so it is of no use to ordinary people. ”
"Then how do you have drawings?" asked Wang Chen.
"The casters of the Gengjin series have been casting for the royal family for generations, not only the Western King, but also the weapons and utensils of the other three kings. Weapons are murder weapons, but boats, cars, palaces, and houses are all things that can make people's lives happier. Iron Head's tone was full of pride, and he clenched his fists tightly, "We will guard this skill until a wise king appears." Our casting skills must be able to make this world a better place!"
"Haha, good, ambitious. Wang Chen sighed slightly in his heart, but gave a thumbs up on his face, "Can I write this picture down?" he asked.
"Haha, of course you can. You can take it with you. Tietou stepped forward, pulled off the silk cloth, and handed it to Wang Chen, "Just take it as our gift, it doesn't matter how you do it." The difficulty is just the place where the materials are collected and made. ”
"Okay, then I'll take it. Hearing that Changlin and Yan Hou outside began to call his name, Wang Chen no longer hesitated, took the drawing and put it in his arms, and made a gesture to Tietou, "Thank you!"
He turned and strode out of the storeroom. I secretly said in my heart, there will be a period in the future! I will soon let you live in the sunshine!
