"From today onwards, the twenty-one of you will form a team. I hope that you can become a sharp knife. The day it was unsheathed would be the day the Hu Krupp died!”
The iron-blooded voice surged out from Xiao Rang's mouth, causing everyone's expressions to turn solemn!
Especially those 21 people, they felt the great mission that Xiao Rang had given them!
"We will definitely use the blood of the Hu Krupp to repay the lord's kindness!”
The twenty-one people shouted loudly!
His mighty voice rolled out like thunder, attracting the attention of the people around the camp.
"For those who didn't drink the divine water, don't be discouraged. As long as you perform well, I'll consider you the next time I have divine water.”Xiao Rang said with a smile.
The disappointed soldier's eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited.
"Thank you, my lord. We will definitely perform well!”
After leaving the military camp, Xiao Rang went to the largest blacksmith shop in the county town.
Blacksmith Wang and his son recognized Xiao Rang at a glance and quickly went out to welcome him." Magistrate, why are you here? Please take a seat." Son, quickly pour water for the county magistrate.”
"I won't disturb your business, right?" Xiao Rang said gently," Your business looks good.”
Blacksmith Wang hurriedly said," This is all thanks to you, my lord. The news of you slaughtering a Black Ball Dog has already spread throughout Gao Xian. Now, everyone was saying that with the adults around, they wouldn't have to be afraid of the Black Ball Dog and other foreign races.
Now, no one was prepared to move. Some people even sent letters to their families in the distance, asking them to come back.
The people of the various villages and pavilions decided to reclaim their farmland, and there were indeed many people who came to this little one to forge farming tools.”
There was only one blacksmith shop in the county. They had received so many orders at once that the father and son were too busy to handle. They were thinking of finding a few apprentices to help.
"By the way, Sir, why are you looking for me?”Blacksmith Wang suddenly asked curiously.
"Do you have a pen and paper?" Xiao Rang asked.
Blacksmith Wang said awkwardly," No, I only have this.”
He picked up a piece of charcoal and a wooden board from the corner.
Paper and pen were things that only scholars could use. They could not afford to use them, and they did not know how to use them. However, blacksmithing sometimes required drawing, so wooden planks and charcoal were necessary.
Xiao Rang picked up the charcoal and started drawing on the wooden board.
Swoosh…
Xiao Rang was very focused on his drawing, and Blacksmith Wang was also very serious.
After a while, three pictures appeared in front of Blacksmith Wang.
"Sir, do you want to fight this thing? Forgive this lowly one for being stupid, but can you tell me what this thing is? This is the first time this lowly one has seen it.”Blacksmith Wang asked in surprise.
It was curved like a crescent moon. Could it be a weapon similar to a shovel?
However, the thickness was wrong. How could a weapon be so thick?
"This is called a horseshoe, or a horse's shoe.”Xiao Rang explained, but he did not say much." Can you fight?”
"Horse shoes?" Blacksmith Wang was a little shocked. He didn't understand why the county magistrate would put shoes on the horse.
He was not a soldier and had never even seen a horse. He had spent his entire life in this blacksmith shop.
Naturally, he didn't know the purpose of the horseshoes.
"I can fight. How much does my lord need and when do you want it?”Blacksmith Wang asked.
"I need 100 for now, and I might need more in the future. Can you forge it in three days?"
Cavalry training was the same as fighting. It would cause damage to the warhorses, so naturally, the faster, the better.
Blacksmith Wang hesitated for a moment as if he was in a difficult position, but he still nodded." No problem."”
"How much for one?" Xiao Rang asked.
Blacksmith Wang stole a glance at Xiao Rang. He wasn't sure if the official was being polite.
In the past, when those officials asked him to forge something, he never paid them.
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to take the risk.
Hence, he waved his hand and said," Sir, you must have created these things to protect us commoners. How can I ask you for money?" This can be considered as my financial aid.”
Xiao Rang saw through his thoughts and smiled slightly." If you're really sincere, give me a 20% discount on the original price."”
"Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for you in the future.”
Xiao Rang's humor made Blacksmith Wang relax his guard. He smiled awkwardly and said," Thank you for your understanding, sir. Is there anything else you want to forge? Why don't you draw it first and we'll calculate the price together?"”
"Alright." Xiao Rang nodded.
He picked up the charcoal and drew something on the back of the wooden board.
It was a strange-looking knife with a hilt as long as the blade, slender and narrow.
The hilt was 1.5 meters long, and the blade was 1.5 meters long.
Blacksmith Wang frowned when he saw this." I've forged many weapons, but this is the first time I've seen such a slender saber. There was no problem in forging it, but it was easy to break.”
The forging techniques of this era were not very advanced. Moreover, Blacksmith Wang was not a master blacksmith.
It was indeed a little difficult for him to forge the Mo Saber.
Xiao Rang could only settle for the next best thing." Try forging one first. If it's possible, I'll let you continue forging."”
Since he couldn't rely on Blacksmith Wang's smithing skills, he could only rely on the Supreme Divine Strengthening System.
Wait, wait, wait.
'Why can't I improve his smithing art? It seems to be more convenient that way.'
Thinking about strengthening, Xiao Rang suddenly reacted.
He cast a detection spell on Blacksmith Wang and his son.
It's the fourth watch!
