"Where should I find inspiration next? I've visited the West City and North City in this period of time. Today, I'll go to the East City!”Li Xiaotian muttered to himself as he slowly walked towards the eastern district.
He believed that as long as he could walk around and see more, he would definitely find those valuable and easy to produce good things in the Abyss Demon Territory.
Just as he was looking around for inspiration, a series of clanging sounds of iron striking entered his ears.
Li Xiaotian immediately thought of the blacksmith shop when he heard the rhythmic sound of metal knocking. At the same time, he thought of what Dolores had told him about the origin of the weapons in the hands of the demons.
In the Abyssal Demon Territory, most of the demons had three types of weapons:
One was born; The most representative one was the Balor. From the moment each Balor was born, there would be a beheading sword surrounded by flames that came with it. If this sword fell into the hands of others, it would only be a relatively hard sword. However, in the hands of the Balor, it would be a very good magic weapon. It would also become stronger as the Balor's strength increased.
The second was to use the harder parts of his body as weapons. For example, the Longhorn Demons that were more common among demons were of this type. Although they had a pair of hands that could use weapons in battle, most Longhorn Demons preferred to use their sharp horns and claws in battle. The horns on their heads were even sturdier than some magic weapons.
The third type of demon was the type that required weapons, such as imps and minotaurs. However, these demons were generally weak and had a tight financial situation. At the same time, the demon race was very powerful. Ordinary weapons were easily damaged in their hands, so most of them used hard wooden sticks or stone sticks as weapons.
From the fact that he had never encountered a blacksmith shop in the western and northern parts of the city, he could tell that blacksmiths were very rare in the Abyss. He did not expect to meet one now. Of course, he had to go in and take a look.
Just as Li Xiaotian stepped into the Blacksmith Shop, he was immediately shocked by the lively scene inside.
The shop was filled with all kinds of demons. They crowded in front of the counter and haggled fiercely with the shop assistants, choosing the weapons they were satisfied with. Sometimes, a few demons would even start cursing and even fighting in the shop for a weapon they liked.
Li Xiaotian could even see that when some of the weapons that had just been forged were taken out from the backstage, there would be some demons who did not care about the high temperature of the weapons at all. They would directly grab them, weigh them in their hands, and then leave after paying the price in satisfaction without even returning the price.
Li Xiaotian could not help but be shocked when he saw the Devil's hands emitting green smoke and the coins that had been casually thrown on the counter.
He wasn't just shocked that the demon's tolerance for pain had reached such a high level. His hand was scorched, but he actually didn't care at all. What was even more unbelievable was that the wheel axe, which was obviously of poor quality, actually cost the demon a Soul Crystal.
How much was a Soul Crystal worth? One Soul Crystal was equal to 100 Magic Crystal Coins, one Magic Crystal Coin was equal to 100 Gold Coins, and one Gold Coin was equal to 100 Silver Coins. Li Xiaotian had heard that in the human world, a single gold coin could allow a family of three to live happily for a month.
Assuming that one gold coin was equivalent to 1000 yuan on Earth, then this axe, which was made of high-carbon steel at most, would be sold for a sky-high price of 10 million yuan!
What a huge profit! That axe of his was not made of steel, it was made of gold!
At this moment, Li Xiaotian once again took a closer look at the weapons in the shop and realized that most of the heavy weapons here were basically sold off as soon as they were taken out. There were only some longswords, machetes, and other light weapons that were suitable for humans. They were hung sporadically on the counter for people to admire.
The weapons that hadn't been sold were also very expensive. Even though they were light, they were priced at dozens of magic crystal coins. However, in Li Xiaotian's eyes, the materials used to make these weapons were only at the standard of ordinary steel. Even the high-carbon steel of the axe just now could not reach the level of high-carbon steel, let alone the stronger alloy steel.
"This, this, this, why didn't I think of this! Why didn't I think of that…"
Li Xiaotian kept muttering to himself as he fell into a state of extreme excitement.
He had once considered setting up a steel mill here. Anyway, he still remembered very clearly the indigenous method of smelting steel during the period of great steel production.
However, when he saw the powerful magic equipment used by Dolores and his personal guards, he felt that in this world of magic, especially in the Abyss, where everyone knew a little magic, they had all kinds of powerful magic weapons.
As for the kind of steel that he knew, most of the quality of the steel refined by the local method during the period of great steel refining was not very good.
Although that method could produce some steel that could be used, it was far from being a match for the hard alloy that could be used as a mold, let alone the magical weapons that Li Xiaotian thought were very powerful. Hence, Li Xiaotian gave up on the idea of forging steel.
However, what he saw in the blacksmith shop today told him how wrong his thoughts were at that time.
In reality, only a few powerhouses could possess high-quality magic weapons. The highest weapon that the masses could possess was the axe made of high-carbon steel.
However, in his eyes, although high-carbon steel was very hard and was indeed a good material for making cold weapons, it was also very brittle. If the entire weapon was made of high-carbon steel, it would easily break under a strong impact.
Perhaps it was because of this consideration that the blacksmiths in this blacksmith shop would use these high-carbon steel to make heavy weapons such as wheel axes. If they made light weapons such as long swords, they would probably break after a few heavy blows.
The best way to use high-carbon steel to make weapons should be: The blade of the weapon was made of high-carbon steel with higher hardness to increase its sharpness. After that, it was clamped by two pieces of low-carbon steel or wrought iron with better softness to make the blade. In this way, the overall strength and toughness of the blade could be improved. In this way, the cost could be saved and the quality of the entire weapon could be enhanced. This kind of manufacturing process was the most correct way to make cold weapons.
However, from the looks of it, the blacksmith in the Abyssal Demon Domain did not seem to know how to make this kind of steel. Although he could already forge metals like high-carbon steel, he was still inferior in terms of weapon manufacturing.
If he set up a steel furnace here and produced a large amount of high-carbon steel suitable for forging equipment, then used the steel-clamping technology to manufacture weapons of better quality than this wheel axe that was priced at one Soul Crystal, and then sold them to various places in the Abyss Demon Domain in large quantities.
Then wouldn't he earn a lot of money and live a life of counting money every day?
This way, that damned Dolores would realize his value and know that only by keeping him around would he be able to create more benefits for her. That way, he wouldn't let his precious daughter squeeze him dry during her coming-of-age ceremony and would let her stay and continue to earn more money for her.
He could also use this as an opportunity to slowly gain Dolores 'trust, then save up money to build his own team, or use the money he saved to bribe the killer and kill the culprit who wanted to turn him into a human.
Even if Dolores, that b * tch, strictly controlled her funds, he could still spread his name to the world and let the other big shots in the Abyss know that there was a money tree like him in Moonlight City. Then, he could secretly communicate with those big shots and easily kill this b * tch without any danger.
