Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 250: The new art of casting soldiers

"Brother Lu, you succeeded!"

Shitou raised a long knife shaped like a tiger knife with excitement on his face, and shouted loudly.

In front of him, there was a wooden stake as thick as an adult's thigh, with a deep knife mark on it.

In the workshop of the official Casting Division, leather armor is naturally used for testing knives.

But in this small blacksmith's shop, not to mention no leather armor, even if there is, it is impossible to use stones to test knives. The cost of a pair of leather armor is not low.

So they settled for the next best thing, and tried the knife with a wooden stake, which is easy to find anyway.

"No."

Zhou Shu glanced at the knife mark, shook his head, and said, "This level can only be regarded as a heavy armor."

One level of armor breaking can only be regarded as the threshold of entering the standard weapon, that is to say, Stone can now be regarded as an apprentice of casting soldiers, and is eligible to join the workshop of casting soldiers to be exploited.

But for Zhou Shu, this level is far from enough.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Shu did not do it himself, but pointed the stones.

"Not yet?"

Shitou said with some doubts, "I have followed the method you taught me, Brother Lu, to feel the veins of the iron material, and then try my best to beat the aura of heaven and earth into it. Maybe because I am not a warrior, I can't control too much aura of heaven and earth... "

The stone is a little lost.

Zhou Shu shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He felt the veins of the casting materials before, the main purpose of which was to artificially construct a "meridian" for the purpose of locating the stars.

Now is different, now is to discover the "meridians" of the casting material itself.

The difference between the two sounds small, but it is very difficult to do it.

Even if you are a human being, you can still make mistakes in martial arts training, and if you make a mistake, you will go crazy.

The same is true for casting materials.

Using a hammer to beat the aura of heaven and earth into the iron material, and then activate the meridian of the casting material itself, which is exactly the same as the cultivation of a warrior.

For a martial artist to practice, it is a very delicate matter to attract the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth into the body. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. Different exercises have different requirements.

The art of casting soldiers that Zhou Shu is studying now is the same. Different aura strengths and different aura drop points will affect the properties of iron materials.

So the strength, strength, and timing of each blow are much more difficult than when he was casting standard weapons.

If he did it himself, it would be easier to control it, but Shitou is still an ordinary boy, and most of the time, he can't do Zhou Shu's request at all.

However, Zhou Shu still didn't do it himself. If he did, with his attainments in the art of casting soldiers, many problems may be avoided directly, which would not be conducive to the study of a new art of casting soldiers.

The level of the stone is not good, but it is easier to expose the problem.

"Let's try another method. On the eighteenth hammer, you hit like this..."

Zhou Shu gestures to teach the stone.

The boy Shitou is not smart, but he is honest and diligent.

What Zhou Shu said, he will do it honestly.

The other blacksmiths also saw the small movements of the two, but they couldn't understand what the two were doing.

As long as the two of them don't affect the work of the shop, they don't care.

The left and right are just two people consuming some iron materials, even if they are iron materials, they can be re-smelted later to make iron pots without any loss.

There are not many rules in a small blacksmith shop.

This is how the days go by.

Zhou Shu and Shitou kept trying, sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they failed. I don't know how many times the iron material was broken into two pieces by beating and beating.

Later, the movements of the stone became more and more proficient, and the level of blacksmithing rose sharply.

Even the craftsmanship of casting iron pots can be compared with those of those old masters.

It's just that no one noticed this change.

Shitou himself is also immersed in the joy of the tiger knife he created getting sharper and sharper.

During this process, Zhou Shu constantly adjusted the casting details.

For him, this is equivalent to tailoring a set of "martial arts skills" for iron materials, and every detail has to be deliberated over and over again.

After having a direction, these are no longer a problem for Zhou Shu.

Half a month later, Zhou Shu finally showed a smile on his face as he looked at the newly forged "Hu Ben Knife" in his hand.

Using only iron as a material for casting soldiers, the Tiger Ben knife with triple armor penetration was cast. Zhou Shu felt a little excited when he thought about it.

When he was an apprentice in casting soldiers, at least five or six kinds of casting materials were needed to forge a tiger sword.

But now, only one kind of soldier casting material is used!

"Iron material cultivated with different "martial arts skills" will become different weapons. This is the real innate way!"

Excitement flashed in Zhou Shu's eyes, and he said to himself, "There are countless possibilities for just one kind of iron material, and there are thousands of materials for casting soldiers in the world, and there may be countless possibilities."

"This technique of casting soldiers can maximize the properties of the materials for casting soldiers, and the weapons cast can continue to grow stronger like humans. Mainly with the help of soldier casting masters, they can continue to change. Strong, Earth Immortal and Dongtian Realm are not impossible."

Star point positioning is to use heavenly refining stones to construct meridians inside the weapon, and now the new technique of casting soldiers is to find the meridians of the casting materials.

The two may look similar, but they are actually quite different.

The weapons casted by this new technique of casting weapons no longer have the difference between standard weapons and innate weapons, and no longer need to rely on heavenly refining stones.

The weapons cast by this technique of casting soldiers were on the right path from the very beginning.

Take the Tiger Cardinal Knife in his hand that was cast purely from iron as an example.

This Tiger Bend Saber can only break three layers of armor at present, and it is only considered ordinary among standard weapons, but its own meridian has already appeared. As long as there are soldiers who forge it, there is no need to add any other soldiers. It can become stronger continuously, and its power in the future may even be no less than any innate magic weapon!

Do not pretend to be foreign objects, but directly point to the essence.

This is the purest magic weapon!

No matter how powerful the celestial spirit is, it is absolutely impossible to influence this kind of divine weapon!

The biggest weakness of this magic weapon is its slow growth rate.

In essence, like a warrior, it needs to become stronger step by step, unlike the previous art of casting soldiers, which can reach the sky in one step.

It takes time to grow.

Even for a genius like Zhou Shu, it took him so long to achieve what he is today since he embarked on the road of martial arts cultivation.

This kind of soldier casting technique, even if it is to cast that branch into a magic weapon, it is equivalent to a genius in a weapon. Have to pass the temper of time.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's worth it to be able to get rid of the control of the angel!"

Zhou Shu said to himself in his heart.

"Brother Lu, did we succeed?"

Shitou looked at Zhou Shu and said nervously.

After getting in touch with him these days, Shishi has become very sure that this big brother Lu is an out-and-out expert.

Although he didn't know why such an expert came to such a small blacksmith's shop, he knew that he was lucky.

"Three layers of Armor Breaking, this Tiger Bendao is considered a pass."

With a faint smile on his face, Zhou Shu said, "Just follow the method I taught you and continue beating it. One day, it may become a real magic weapon."

"Then I'm now considered an apprentice forging soldiers?"

Shitou was taken aback for a moment, his face full of disbelief, that he could really forge a tiger knife?

When he thinks about it, he feels like he is dreaming.

In the past, he had always dreamed that one day he would become an apprentice in casting soldiers and forge real weapons. He never thought that this day would come so soon.

"No."

Zhou Shu shook his head.

The smile that had just appeared on Shitou's face froze immediately.

Not yet?

Yeah, I don't know anything, if it wasn't for Big Brother Lu's guidance, I wouldn't be able to forge the Tiger Saber at all.

The soldier-casting apprentices of the Casting Division are all able to forge standard weapons independently.

"You should be regarded as a soldier casting master now, not a soldier casting apprentice."

Zhou Shu said lightly.

"Huh?"

Shito was stiff all over, and stood there in a daze.

A soldier forger?

How is this possible? !

"Haha——"

Suddenly, a mocking laugh sounded.

"In a small blacksmith's shop, there is also a soldier builder? Come on, let me see, which soldier builder condescends to be here?"

I saw a young man in brocade clothes coming in, waving a folding fan.

He glanced at Shitou and the tiger knife in Shitou's hand, his face was full of disdain.

"Casting a fake tiger card with three layers of armor-piercing, dare to call yourself a soldier-casting master? When did the threshold for a soldier-casting master become so low? Don't you need to be responsible if you speak nonsense?"

The young man said with a sneer.

"Master Niu calm down, you calm down."

Old Zhao greeted him with a smile on his face, "We vulgar people are joking in private, you didn't hear it."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The young man glanced at Old Zhao and said coldly.

"Don't dare, dare not."

Old Zhao bent over and said repeatedly.

Zhou Shu frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Shi Shi suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes, trying to tease him repeatedly.

Seeing the pleading look in Shitou's eyes, Zhou Shu stopped and took back the words that came to his lips.

Forget it, Shitou and the others are just ordinary people, and their mentality of not wanting to cause trouble is understandable.

Let's see for yourself, what is the background of this young man.

"Hmph, I won't argue with you guys this time."

Seeing Old Zhao's humble attitude, the young man snorted coldly and said, "A soldier casting master should not be humiliated. Not everyone can call himself a soldier casting master. If you dare to talk nonsense, the prisoner of the city guards will I invite you to try it!"

The young man's words made Zhou Shu frowned again.

How did such an arrogant guy survive till now?

Is the city guard run by your family?

There is no literary prison in Daxia, and it has never been heard that anyone who claims to be a soldier-casting master will be arrested and thrown into a cell.

Zhou Shu didn't care, but Lao Zhao and Shitou were terrified, and everyone lowered their heads.

"Don't dare, don't dare next time."

Old Zhao repeatedly said, "We will never talk nonsense again."

"Young Master Niu, what are your orders?"

Old Zhao said with some trepidation.

The young man looked only in his twenties, and the old Zhao had gray hair, and he looked old enough to be a young man.

Although appearance does not represent age in the world of warriors, the real age of this young man may still be older than Old Zhao.

However, seeing the old man's humility, Zhou Shu was still a little displeased.

If the stone hadn't been pulling him with pleading eyes, he would have kicked the young man out.

"The city lord recruits all the blacksmiths in the city, and within an hour, you all rush to the city lord's mansion."

The young master Niu said coldly, after finishing speaking, he turned his head and left without waiting for Lao Zhao and others to agree.

"Huh?"

Old Zhao was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Master Niu, what did the city lord call us for? Our boss hasn't come back yet."

"Recruitment is recruitment, so much nonsense!"

Young Master Niu said impatiently, "Your boss has passed, hurry up, before the deadline, make a decision!"

After speaking, the young master Niu had strode away.

There was chaos in the blacksmith shop, and all the blacksmiths were talking about it.

"Stone, in the past, the City Lord's Mansion often recruited blacksmiths?"

Zhou Shu looked at the stone and asked.

"No, this kind of thing has never happened before."

Stone scratched his head and said.

"It's not that it never happened, it's just that you haven't experienced it."

Old Zhao sighed, and said, "Before our world, there was a strong enemy from outside the territory. At that time, King Zhennan led the strong men of our human race to resist the foreign enemy, and the Huaxia Pavilion could not supply enough magic soldiers. , At that time, the city lord ordered the blacksmiths in the city to help deal with some common materials."

"Although we can't help much, we can barely do it by helping to process some ore."

"But there is no war now, what is the city lord's mansion calling us for?"

Old Zhao's face was also full of doubts.

Zhou Shu's eyes moved slightly. These blacksmiths also helped Huaxia Pavilion process ore before?

He didn't know these things.

He handed over all the mundane affairs of Huaxia Pavilion to Shi Songtao.

It is possible that so many forces have been mobilized.

But now, all the casting divisions in Huaxia Pavilion have stopped casting soldiers, and Huaxia Pavilion does not need a lot of casting materials. What is the city lord of Mizhou City recruiting blacksmiths for?

Although Zhou Shu had some doubts in his heart, he didn't take it seriously.

With his current strength and status, there are not many things in the ancestral land that can disturb his heartstrings.

Let's not talk about an unknown Young Master Niu, even the lord of Mizhou City, under normal circumstances, he is not even qualified to meet him.

If it wasn't for a coincidence that he came to this blacksmith shop, he might not have any intersection with Mizhou City in his life.

"Hurry up, if you are really late, the knives of the city guards will really kill people."

Old Zhao urged and said.

He is mature and prudent, knowing what to do at this time.

"Brother Lu——"

Shitou followed Zhou Shu with some trepidation.

After getting along these days, Shitou admires Zhou Shu so much, when encountering things, he subconsciously wants to rely on Zhou Shu.

"It's okay, let's go and have a look."

Zhou Shu said calmly.

Such a sudden encounter prevented Shi Shi from thinking about what Zhou Shu said earlier that he was a soldier casting master. Together with Lao Zhao and the blacksmiths, they got dressed, closed the door of the shop, and went to the shop. Go to the city lord's mansion.

Before leaving, Zhou Shu even let Shishi take the newly cast "Tiger Ben knife" with him.

Mizhou City is a small city with a radius of only a hundred miles and a population of only one million.

In such a small town, Zhou Shu followed a few blacksmiths and walked for almost an hour before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion.

That Young Master Niu was very accurate in his calculations. He calculated that it would take an hour for ordinary people to walk to the City Lord's Mansion without stopping, but he gave a time limit of one hour.

This is clearly to let everyone have no time to breathe, and they have to set off immediately when they get the order.

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, hundreds of people had gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

There are not many soldier casting masters in Mizhou City, and there are not many soldier casting apprentices, but there are many blacksmiths.

After all, with so many people in the city, there is still a great demand for blacksmiths.

Old Zhao breathlessly greeted the other blacksmiths, they were all familiar with each other in the same circle.

A moment later, Lao Zhao returned to Zhou Shu and the others again, and said in a low voice, "It happened suddenly, and no one knows why."

"I didn't see the boss either. If something happens later, don't be impulsive and follow me."

Old Zhao instructed everyone in a low voice.

All the blacksmiths nodded their heads. Most of them had never experienced this kind of thing. Old Zhao was mature and prudent, and he was quite prestigious among the crowd. The people who were at a loss now could only rely on Old Zhao.

After Lao Zhao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Shu, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Lu, I know you are not an ordinary person, if you can, we old bones will be fine. Shishi is still young, give him a hand..."

"Old Zhao, what do you know?"

Zhou Shu was noncommittal and asked.

Old Zhao looked around, then at Shitou and the others. He took a step forward, approached Zhou Shu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I don't know the specifics, but there are A few old friends with a wide range of connections said that since yesterday, the city of Mizhou has been closed, and you can only go in and out."

"Something must have happened, otherwise, the city lord would not have summoned us blacksmiths. I have a bad feeling in my heart, brother Xiaolu, I think you are very close to Shitou, if you can save him Save him, I beg you to save him."

Old Zhao said with a solemn expression ~IndoMTL.com~ I know I am not qualified to ask you anything, I just beg you. "

Zhou Shu laughed dumbfounded, and said calmly, "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, nothing will happen, I told you."

Zhou Shu's expression was very calm. For some reason, seeing his smile, Lao Zhao's heart inexplicably settled down.

He shook his head with a wry smile on his face. At this moment, a few people came out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

One of them is surprisingly the previous Young Master Niu.

However, Young Master Niu is now following several other people, and he seems to be the one with the lowest status.

Walking in the forefront was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. The middle-aged man was dressed in a tough coat, and he looked like a high-ranking general.

"It's the city lord!"

Lao Zhao and Shi Shi whispered beside Zhou Shu at the same time.
