Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 248: Blacksmith shop

Big Xia, Mizhou City.

This is a small city thousands of miles away from the capital of Daxia, and it is inconspicuous throughout Daxia.

Ten kingdoms still exist side by side in today's ancestral continent.

Except for one Great Wei that doesn't look like a country, the other nine countries are actually the same as they were more than a hundred years ago.

If there is, it is that the national power of Daxia is much stronger than it was more than a hundred years ago.

Great Xia Yuanfeng Emperor is still in power, he has a benevolent nature, and he has become more and more proficient in governing the country these years.

As Zhou Shu's father-in-law, who in the entire ancestral land does not give Emperor Yuanfeng some face?

Not to mention, the magic soldiers of Huaxia Pavilion also have a certain degree of inclination towards Daxia.

There are no less than a hundred small cities like Mizhou City in Daxia. The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, enjoying the rare peaceful time more than a hundred years ago.

In an inconspicuous alley in Mizhou City, the sound of clanging came from a shop.

It was a blacksmith's shop, and there were many of them in almost every city. Ordinary people would never visit this kind of blacksmith's shop if they didn't want to buy iron pots, cooking utensils, farm tools and the like.

As for weapons, don't be kidding, how can a blacksmith shop have weapons?

Although blacksmithing and forging soldiers sound similar to a certain extent, they are completely different existences.

A blacksmith, if his craftsmanship is pure, then it is somewhat possible to forge a standard weapon, but innate magic weapon, that is something only a weapon maker can do.

There is a gap between the blacksmith and the soldier-casting master, how many apprentices there are!

In this blacksmith's shop, a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old was naked to the waist, swinging a hammer in his hand. Sweat flowed down the well-defined muscles and dripped on the fiery red iron bars. , making a crackling sound, and patches of white mist rose even more.

The young man's expression is extremely serious, every time he hits, he is solemn and solemn. It seems that he does not seem to be forging iron, but is doing a major event related to the fate of the country.

"The stone is casting a sword again.

A dark-skinned middle-aged man also passed by him topless, and said with a smile, "You boy, you just refuse to give up, Zhubing, how can it be so easy? If it was so easy, we would all be together a long time ago." Soldiers are now masters, do you still need to live in this small shop? With this time, you’d better hit two more hoes.'

"I'll try again.'

The boy named Shishi chuckled and said.

"It's useless.'

Other people in the blacksmith shop said, "The soldiers casting masters of the city lord's mansion have clearly told you that you don't have the talent for casting soldiers, no matter how hard you try, you can only be a soldier casting apprentice for the rest of your life. , might as well be like us and put our minds on blacksmithing."

There are four or five blacksmiths in a small blacksmith's shop, who deal with kitchen utensils and agricultural tools on weekdays.

The stone is the youngest one in the blacksmith shop, and everyone persuaded him as someone who had been there, "Save some money, marry a wife, give birth to a big fat boy, and live a prosperous life like a child. Zhu Bing Teacher, that is too far away from us.

The middle-aged blacksmiths all said with emotion

When they were young, they had never had a dream, dreaming that one day they would become a high-ranking soldier-caster, achieve success and enjoy glory and wealth.

But the truth is more important than anything else, Armor Forgeman, how can it be so easy to achieve?

People like them, if they go to learn how to forge soldiers, they can only be apprentices.

The soldier-casting apprentices in the court workshop may not be as comfortable as they are.

"The King of Zhennan was only an apprentice of casting soldiers back then.'

Stone said stubbornly

The middle-aged blacksmiths shook their heads.

"Stone, there are countless apprentices in the Great Xia Casting Army, but there is only one Zhennan King.

A middle-aged blacksmith said earnestly, "Every soldier casting apprentice dreams of becoming the king of Zhennan, becoming a soldier casting master, and marrying the princess, but look, how many have succeeded?"

"Don't have that kind of daydream, look at our boss's daughter, she looks pretty good, you can work hard.

The middle-aged blacksmith laughed and said.

All the blacksmiths laughed together.

Stone looked a little embarrassed, but the movements of his hands were still rigid, and the iron material under the hammer gradually turned into the shape of a long knife.

"Don't say it, it really looks like Hu Zhoushu.

The middle-aged blacksmith continued with a smile, "Your boy regards Zhennan King as an idol, and even this is learned from Zhennan King. The famous work of Zhennan King back then was Hu Zhoushu, but Zhennan When Wang was still an apprentice of casting soldiers, the Tiger Zhou Shu he cast was able to penetrate at least three layers of armor. Your Tiger Zhou Shu has only a shape, let alone piercing armor, if you cut it, it will break."

There was a look of disappointment in Shitou's eyes, but soon he became extremely hesitant,

"Of course I can't do it now, but I suspect that as long as I continue to improve the method, one day, I will be able to cast a triple armor-piercing Hu Zhoushu!'

Stone said affectionately.

"So what? The real Hu Peilin, that is an innate weapon!'

The middle-aged blacksmith shook his head and said, "No matter how hard you try, you will never become a soldier-casting master in this life. You regard Zhennan King as an idol, but the reality is that in your life, you will never become a soldier-caster." I have a chance to meet King Zhennan."

"You want to become a soldier-casting master, why don't you go to the Huaxia Pavilion to learn the art of casting soldiers? As far as I know, the Huaxia Pavilion has opened its gates. The art of soldiers.'

Suddenly, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.

All the blacksmiths were taken aback for a moment, and looked around after hearing the sound.

I saw a young man standing on the threshold with his hands behind his back, looking at the blacksmith shop curiously.

The young man is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, which makes people feel good at first glance, but after seeing him, no one can remember his appearance.

Everyone seemed to have never seen such an outstanding character, and they were a little stunned for a while.

After a few breaths of time, an old and prudent blacksmith said, "What do you want to buy, sir? We can make anything here, hoes, plows, iron pots, kitchen knives... Our shop is in Mizhou City, that is one of the few, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.'

He introduced the business of the shop.

The young man nodded, he didn't seem to be very interested in the things displayed in the blacksmith's shop, instead he stepped up to the long knife made of stone that looked like Hu Zhoushu.

"You imitated Hu Peilin to build this?'

The young man looked at the stone and asked.

The old and prudent blacksmith spoke first, "Young people don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and they are playing for fun. Don't worry about it, the guest officer. Look at the things in our shop. They are all made by experienced old blacksmiths.

He glared at Shi Shi, although he said that the Great Xia does not prohibit blacksmiths from making weapons, but a blacksmith doing this kind of thing is always a bit unprofessional. Can it be more professional than the soldier-casting apprentices of other military-casting masters?

"Yeah.

The young man nodded, but still looked at the stone, and asked, "Can I see your 'Tiger Pei Lin'?"

“Yes, one by one.’

Shitou stammered, and subconsciously handed over the knife he had just made.

The young man took the long knife and casually held a few knives.

The blacksmiths in the shop are all special people. At most, they have learned some fists and kicks. Naturally, they can't tell anything, but they all think that this customer's movements are very chic, and he looks very powerful.

"T.

The young man flicked the blade with his fingers, and the blade made a trembling sound.

"click

Amidst the sound, cracks appeared on the blade of the knife, and then it was torn apart and turned into countless fragments.

The blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop all stared wide-eyed.

One flick and a knife shattered into pieces?

Although this knife is not a real weapon, it is not even a standard weapon, but it is made of iron after all, it will shatter when you flick it?

I'm afraid this guest officer is not a high-quality warrior?

"Sir, Shitou is young and ignorant, he didn't create Hu Zhoushu on purpose!"

The old and prudent blacksmith panicked, bowed to the young man, and said repeatedly.

"Big Xia does not forbid people to forge Hu Zhoushu.'

The young man shook his head slightly, and said, "You don't have to relax, I'm not here to cause trouble. Little brother, I'm sorry to ruin your knife. I'll buy this knife for how much money it is.'

"No -- no, it's not the real Hu Zhoushu, it's not worth much, and the iron materials can still be used, so it doesn't cost money." Stone blushed and stammered.

"Since you are interested in casting soldiers, why don't you go to Huaxia Pavilion?"

The young man was noncommittal, looked at the stone, and asked again.

He asked this question when he just entered the door, but the stone never answered.

"When I save enough money, I will go!'

Shitou mustered up his courage, and said to the young man in front of him who obviously looked like a big man.

The young man suddenly realized that this is Mizhou, thousands of miles away from the capital of Daxia, and thousands of miles away from Huaxia Pavilion on the endless sea.

This distance is nothing to him, but it is not so easy for special people, even for advanced warriors, to walk from Mizhou to Huaxia Pavilion.

There was a flash of trance in his eyes. He didn't know when it would end. Was he so far away from the special person? This young man was obviously Ben Dao.

When everyone thought he was retreating in Huaxia Pavilion, he did quietly leave Huaxia Pavilion and walk around the world.

Mizhou was not the first place he came to, and this blacksmith shop was not the first blacksmith shop he visited either.

These days, he was walking around, and whenever he went, he would go to the special person's blacksmith shop to have a look.

There are flaws in the art of casting soldiers, and Ben Dao can't figure it out.

It is not so easy to open up a new path.

He traveled the world to find some inspiration.

The reason why he pays attention to the blacksmith shop of the special person is because the things these blacksmiths do are somewhat similar to those of the soldier-casting division, but they are not affected by the art of soldier-casting. Looking at their iron-making process, he said It is not allowed to inspire yourself.

To embark on a new path, Ben Dao decided to forget all the previous paths, otherwise, he would not be able to get rid of the influence of the existing art of casting soldiers.

"Work hard and you will succeed.'

Ben Dao said to the stone.

"Thank you sir."

Stone quickly said

"My lord, what do you want to order? We can make it specially for you."

The mature and prudent blacksmith also came up and said.

A "big man" who is suspected to be an entry-level warrior-

To these blacksmiths, even a ninth-rank warrior is an out-and-out big shot.

It is impossible for such a big man to appear in the blacksmith's shop under special circumstances.

They have servants to take care of anything they need at home, and the place they go should be the kind of business that big people go to.

But when the guests came, they didn't dare to neglect them.

"I don't buy anything, I want to ask, are you still recruiting here?'

Ben Dao opened his mouth.

All the blacksmiths were stunned, recruiting? What do you mean?

The mature and prudent blacksmith boldly looked Pei Lin up and down.

The young man in front of him can shatter an iron sword with just one finger, let alone that, judging by his attire, it is clear that he has an extraordinary background. The clothes on his body can buy an entire blacksmith's shop, right? .

He asked if there was any recruitment here, and it was definitely not the recruitment I thought.

The mature and prudent blacksmith was talking to himself, with a smile on his face, and he said, "Can you tell me, sir?" "I'm not a grown-up."

Pei Lin shook his head and said fiercely, "I'm asking, do you still hire people to work in your shop? I want to find a blacksmith to do it.

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhou Shu's words, all the blacksmiths exclaimed almost at the same time.

He came to work in our blacksmith shop?

"My lord, we are a blacksmith's shop here, and the monthly salary is at most one or two taels of silver, we-_" the old and prudent blacksmith said affectionately.

"Yes.'

Pei Lin nodded, "Salary is not important, I mainly want to find a place to learn a craft.'

All the blacksmiths looked at each other in blank dismay, you are an advanced martial artist, want to learn a craft?

The point is, we are just a blacksmith shop here, what craft do you come to learn from us?

Learning to strike iron?

Is it necessary for an advanced martial artist to learn how to forge iron?

Even if you want to learn, you have to learn the art of casting soldiers.

"That

The mature and prudent blacksmith pondered for a moment, and then said, "My lord, I can't decide this matter. I have to wait for our boss to come back."

“Where did your boss go?’

Ben Dao asked casually.

"Our boss is out to deliver the goods, and he will be back soon.

The experienced blacksmith said.

Although Ben Dao came to look for work, but for some reason, those old blacksmiths felt like they had become job seekers and Ben Dao was the boss.

Even if it is deliberately restrained, the aura of Ben Dao's body is cautiously leaked, which is not something these ordinary blacksmiths can bear

While speaking, a tall, white-haired old man walked in.

The old man is no longer young, but his muscles are still clearly defined.

The mature and prudent blacksmith rushed forward and whispered something in the old man's ear.

With Zhou Shu's strength, no matter how soft his voice is, Ben Dao can still hear it clearly.

But he didn't go to eavesdrop, but stood there quietly.

Hearing what the blacksmith said, a look of surprise flashed across the old man's face.

He glanced at the broken pieces of iron on the ground, and then looked at Pei Lin.

"My lord_

He pondered and said.

"Don't call me my lord, I'm just a desperate person, I want to find a place to learn a craft, salary or something, it doesn't matter, boss, can you give me a chance? I still have a lot of strength of.

Ben knife said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

What the blacksmiths can see, he can naturally see it too.

The young man in front of him is either rich or expensive in terms of his clothes. The value of the clothes on his body may be able to buy his blacksmith shop.

There is no need for such a person to talk about his blacksmith shop.

There is nothing unusual about his blacksmith shop, and it doesn't make much money. Why would such a big man come up with the idea of ​​his blacksmith shop?

Let's talk about learning a craft

This kind of person wants to learn a craft, and I don’t know how many people will come to teach them all. Is it necessary to come to his little blacksmith shop?

His craftsmanship here is not a good one

A good man does not strike iron, that is the truth that the common people know.

Forging iron and casting soldiers are two completely different industries.

No matter how much he thought, the old man couldn't figure out why such a big man came to work in his blacksmith shop.

Unless his family is in trouble.

However, his family is in decline, and he also has the cultivation base of a top-ranked warrior, so it should be no problem to worry about food and clothing.

The old man has had ups and downs all his life, and he knows that there must be a demon behind the abnormal things.

He wanted to agree to Ben Dao subconsciously, but he dared not say it if he refused.

In any case, even if the young man in front of him is only a rank nine martial artist, it's not something they can afford to offend. If you agree with him, he will become angry

"Boss, I came to learn the craft sincerely, and I'm in Mizhou. I really don't have any background, and I don't have any enemies. You don't have to worry about me getting you into trouble."

Ben Dao sternly said ~IndoMTL.com~ He also had a temporary idea, otherwise, before he came here, he would have changed his attire.

"If it's really inconvenient, I don't need wages, as long as the boss refuses me to help in the shop, and I can watch the big guys forging iron by the way.'

Zhou Shu's expression is very sincere, no matter who he is, I'm afraid he won't have the heart to agree with him.

The old man also fell into firmness.

He was silent for a full quarter of an hour before slowly opening his mouth and said, "If that's the case, then you should stay here first. The wages are the same as stones, one tael of silver a month. If the business is good, there will be other penalties." /

The old man decided to pretend that he didn't know that this young man had an extraordinary background. This kind of young master wanted to come here just to have fun, and he wouldn't come after a few days.

"The shop works a little longer every day. It takes five hours a day, and it starts at the hour of the day. If there are any private matters that can't come, you can postpone the leave without deducting wages."

"As for blacksmithing skills, if you don't understand anything, you can ask anyone here. Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang have both practiced blacksmithing for decades...
