Chapter 115 Eight-sided Han Sword
"Sorry." Facing Nancy's expectant eyes, Raven could only smile apologetically and said loudly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
The Riverside Workshop can be said to be the industrial heart of the entire Eagle Territory. Raven couldn't ignore it. After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out the door.
Nancy also knew the importance of the riverside workshop, but she still felt a little dissatisfied. Looking at Raven's back, she pursed her lips and punched her pink fist on the desk: "I hate it!"
< br>Out of the door, Raven saw Poirot.
After not seeing each other for a few months, the former chef and now "engineer" has changed a bit. His overall temperament is more capable, less oily and more serious than a veteran.
He looked quite anxious, as if if he didn't go through, the whole workshop would be blown up to the sky. After saluting, he began to hurriedly tell Raven the cause and effect.
After learning the whole story, Lei Wen suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded.
The ones causing trouble are the gray dwarves.
It was only a matter of time before these noisy guys caused trouble, but Raven didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
They have only been in the workshop for just over three days!
Just after Raven gave the order to use star iron as the main material to forge swords, the gray dwarves themselves, who numbered only seventeen in total, split into two factions.
One group, led by Buvier, felt that since the sword was made for the Baron, it must be perfect and luxurious, making it look like a treasure for the nobles.
One group, led by Sohei, believes that since the sword is made of precious minerals such as star iron, the materials and the craftsmanship of the gray dwarves cannot be wasted. It must be made into a sharp sword that can be passed down for generations, with a fancy appearance. Can only affect performance.
The simple quarrel quickly turned into a "battle of ideas". Neither side was convinced. At first it was just a fist fight, but this morning it turned into a fight with weapons. It was a group of new recruits who couldn't be stopped at all, so they had to let Poirot come to Raven for help.
Even though he was prepared, Raven was still shocked when he arrived at the workshop.
“Good guy!”
This is still a workshop, it has clearly become a battlefield, and various tools are used as weapons in the hands of the gray dwarves.
The wrenches, hammers, and fire tongs were played with great vigor and majesty. The lid of the bucket was used as a shield. There were even very "smart" gray dwarves who used molten iron as a long-range weapon and swung it all over the place. The whole land is filled with smoke.
Fortunately, the workshop was built with stone to prevent fire, otherwise God knows how it would have burned down!
"Stop it!"
Raven scolded, as if the director shouted "click", the gray dwarves' movements suddenly stiffened, and various tools fell to the floor with clatter.
Then he screamed and started running around, as if he wanted to hide himself.
To say that these gray dwarves are also in really good shape. They beat each other to pieces and many pliers and hammers were bent, but they are still very energetic and their short legs are very powerful. It even jumped one meter high and plunged into the water tank.
Yes, based on the temper and temperament of these gray dwarves, if they did not have this kind of physique, they would have been exterminated long ago!
Raven saw the veins in his brows twitching: "All gray dwarves, gather in front of me. If I can't see you within thirty seconds, never show up again!"
The result has not arrived! In thirty seconds, only a little over twenty seconds, these gray dwarves stood in front of Raven, with their backs straight and their faces filled with harmless smiles.
Bowel and Sohei were the only two people who stared at each other without giving in.
If we insist on distinguishing which faction has the main responsibility, I am afraid it will be a bad debt, and it may not be possible to distinguish it until dark.
However, the advantage of the superior is that they can be willful at any time. If they can't tell the difference, don't make a difference. Raven immediately ordered: "This time, all gray dwarves are not allowed to drink alcohol for a month! And for Griffith The number of years of family service will be extended by twenty years!”
"No refutation is allowed, no sophistry is allowed. If you do it again next time, the punishment will be doubled!"
This immediately blocked the mouths of the gray dwarves who were about to start chirping.
Raven's eyes swept over Sohei and Bowell: "Don't you two have your own opinions?"
Hearing these words, the eyes of the two gray dwarves lit up. But before they could speak, Raven said: "I don't want to hear the argument. Leave your design to me on the drawing."
Bowell stood up on tiptoes and coughed, and from his arms Taking out a piece of parchment, Sohei was immediately discouraged and began to look for paper and pen.
Taking over the design from Buvier, Raven only glanced at it, and his eyelids began to twitch.
It can only be said that there is a reason why gray dwarf art is not famous.
This aesthetic style... is too exaggerated.
The 1.2 meter sword not only needs to be gilded and carved, but also inlaid with three gems. Two eagles need to be engraved on the hilt. The spine of the sword even needs to be hollowed out. It is planned to be inlaid with three hundred stones. There are many broken diamonds, and even the scabbard is inlaid with gold and silver.
The exaggerated style of Yi Dao 998 in the previous life seemed a bit conservative in front of it.
At the same time, Sohei handed over a piece of parchment without saying a word.
Although it was completed in a hurry, Biberville's design still looks more pleasing to the eye, but Raven looks like a standard knight sword popular in mainland China, without any characteristics.
Lewen sighed: "Let me tell you, Bowell, you are responsible for recording."
As a jewelry designer, Bowell is very accurate in his writing. Describing, he traced the alterations.
When the design was completed, Sohey and Bowell looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Because the design is so strange to them.
The hilt of the sword is fifteen centimeters, wrapped with a black leather rope and wrapped with red thread. The sword is short and thick, and the blade is eighty centimeters. The overall body is wide and thick, but it has eight cast surfaces. If it is not sharpened, , the overall image is more like a strange-shaped iron rod than a sword.
On the spine of the sword, there is also a line of words carved: No. 1 in the world.
Of course they won't know each other, because this is the "Eight-sided Han Sword" from Raven's previous life.
Old and upright.
It fully displays the oriental simplicity and grand aesthetic charm.
"Just follow my design." Lei Wen said without argument: "If you dare to give me a little extra play, you will know the consequences yourself!"
Lei Wen doesn't want to do it. He is a tyrant, but he has one monkey and one chain. To deal with these gray dwarves, he can only use some tough methods.
After taking care of things here, it was already evening when we returned to Eagle Castle.
At the gate of the city, after the training, Volav was already waiting here with a group of soldiers. When they saw Raven, they immediately saluted:
"Lord Baron!"
Raven nodded in return and walked inside.
Vlaf took Otto and a soldier named "Vade" to follow them voluntarily, and the other soldiers returned to their posts.
After the bloody highland battle, after excluding the seriously injured soldiers who were discharged, there are still twenty-six members of the Eagle Army, who are now integrated with the soldiers and become a new soldiers group.
There are forty-five people in total. The five people headed by Simon who are good at equestrian form the scout team. The remaining forty people are divided into four teams. Now there are three teams stationed in the military camp, and the remaining one team is Volav et al.
Walking inside, Raven ordered Volaf: "Starting from tomorrow morning, two people will take turns to go to the dungeon."
Flav's eyes lit up: "Lord Baron, you mean... "
Raven glanced at him, and Volaf immediately closed his mouth, but there was still excitement in his eyes.
Nothing happened all night. The next morning, Lei Wen woke up from meditation and sighed quietly.
No wonder magicians are rarer than knights. The rate of increase in magic power is much slower than the increase rate of knights' fighting spirit.
After experiencing a great battle, all of Raven’s extraordinary men who survived, from Eric to Link, as well as Simon and Volaf, had a significant increase in the intensity and scale of their fighting spirit, and Raven’s magic power But still can only grow step by step.
According to the current speed, even if the rhythm of absorbing magic cores and expanding the upper limit of magic power is maintained, it will take at least half a year to reach the second level.
Before formally contacting the Order of the Hand of Death, it is difficult to improve one's strength.
During breakfast, Raven received a look of protest from Old Gordon. Apparently he already knew about Raven's plan to build a monument.
However, Old Gordon did not object. Instead, he allocated quite a wealth of supplies and even began to proactively mobilize manpower to bake the land outside Eagle Fort with fire and excavate earth so that construction work could begin at any time.
This is the advantage of having a competent butler at home. No matter whether the opinions are unanimous or not, he will carry out the orders and considerately check for the master's deficiencies.
The fire is scorching outside and the inside is dry.
Deep roars came from the dungeon one after another.
Leaven is using magic core to strengthen his own soldiers. Now, the first two people have completed the strengthening.
"You two, come together!" Volaf took off his clothes, revealing his strong physique, and raised his fingers in front of the two newly strengthened soldiers.
Otto and Vader looked at each other, roared at the same time, and rushed towards Volaf.
The action seemed reckless, but the two of them cooperated very well. When they rushed in front of Volav, they suddenly separated. They went around behind Volav to the left and the right, and punched both ribs of Volav at the same time. .
Vlaf pushed his fists that were originally closed at his waist outwards, making two crisp sounds. The four fists collided together, the muscles trembled, and the sweat was squeezed out of the pores and turned into puffs. Water mist.
Otto and Vader were shaken by the force and each took a step back. Volaf obviously withstood the attacks of two people at the same time, but he was the first to recover, and he stepped forward and twisted his waist to pounce on Otto on the left. , a broad palm arm shield covered Otto's head.
Even without luck and fighting spirit, the first-level extraordinary physique is still strong after being strengthened by the magic core. Just one slap caused a burst of wind pressure. Even though Otto raised his arms to block it, the hair on his forehead was still blown away. .
Just when the slap was about to fall, Wade leaned down, pushed away the dust on the ground with a sweep of his leg, and hit Volaf's ankle with a bang.
This power was not enough to shake Volav's solid footsteps, but it made his movements slightly stagnant.
It was at this gap that Otto saw the opportunity, raised his hands up, and took the initiative to grab Volaf's wrist. Although his knees were slightly bent due to the force, the strength was relieved. Then he leaned his upper body forward and used both arms to push Volaf's right hand back inward little by little!
At the same time, Vader also bounced off the ground with his legs, hugged Volaf's right hand with both hands, and inserted one foot into Volav's legs!
For a moment, the three of them were in a stalemate in this weird posture!
But the stalemate did not last long.
“Heh——”
Flav let out a long breath, and the muscles on his body suddenly swelled, even outlining the outline of muscle fibers under the skin.
Otto and Wade on both sides clenched their teeth and tried their best, but they could only watch Volaf's arm break free from control little by little.
With two bangs, Volaf finally pulled out his hand. Otto and Wade didn't hold back their strength and rolled to the sides, but they just rolled and stood up immediately without being injured.
"Lord Baron, your strengthening is so effective." Volaf wiped the sweat from his forehead: "With their power now, unless they are first-level extraordinary, ordinary soldiers can't stop them at all! "
Raven nodded with satisfaction. He had seen everything just now, and he was quite pleased in his heart.
Perhaps after being baptized by the cruel battlefield, this group of Eagle Army soldiers have a stronger tolerance for magic core energy than Volaf and others before. Each of them can withstand about 1.4 particles. The energy of the Demonic Core is relatively increased by a greater margin.
Even Volav, who has been strengthened by Raven, is quite difficult to deal with two people at the same time without using fighting spirit, let alone ordinary extraordinary ones who have not been strengthened.
Even if they use fighting spirit and are fully armed, five strengthened soldiers can completely suppress or even kill a first-order transcendent.
If he takes this group of strengthened soldiers to the bloody highlands again, Raven doesn't even need to use any conspiracy and tricks to confront Heleti head-on, and he is at least 60% sure of victory!
During this day, Raven spent all his time strengthening his soldiers.
Time is running out. After strengthening the infantry brigade, another batch of war horses need to be strengthened.
Although the semi-war horse is not as strong as the blood-eyed war horse, it is far superior to ordinary war horses in terms of endurance and speed.
On the battlefield, mobility means initiative, the ability to advance and retreat, and the freedom to choose the time to engage in combat or to evacuate.
Nearly fifty semi-war horses that are transformed into monsters, if they really act together, they will attract the attention of others no matter what.
However, Raven had already thought of a way and had already announced that he had brought back a batch of "specialties" from the bloody highlands this time, called "Claw Yellow Flying Lightning".
No matter who asks, Raven will say that it was seized from Heleti. As for whether you believe it or not - just ask Heleti if you don’t believe it.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Raven himself.
Compared to Raven's busy life, Nancy was much more leisurely, to the point of being bored. However, except for Raven, no one in Eagle Castle, male or female, could catch her eye.
As a magician, Nancy also knew the importance of magic experiments, so when she failed to send messages through Jenny, she came to Raven's study.
Originally, she wanted to "revenge" Raven for neglecting her, but when she actually saw those books, she couldn't let go. She had nothing to do when she left, so she had to pick up a book. Read "The Way of the Mage".
The content in the book became more and more boring as she read it, and her eyelids kept fighting. After an unknown amount of time, Nancy's vision went dark and she fell asleep.
When Raven returned to the study, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.
Nancy's petite body was lying on the desk, her hands were placed under her head, and her ponytail was thrown behind her head.
I don’t know how long I have been sleeping, but there is a reddish mark on my already rosy face. The hair on my forehead and cheeks is messy, my eyelashes are trembling slightly, and my lips are moist. luster.
Lei Wen suddenly remembered the female classmate sleeping at the desk in his previous life, who was still young, beautiful, petite and cute.
Resisting the urge to pull the braid, Raven put his finger to his mouth, stopped Patty who was about to make a sound behind him, took off his cloak, put it on Nancy, and took it off carefully With two books, he left the study and returned to his bedroom.
It wasn’t until late at night that Nancy opened her eyes in a daze, looking at the dark room, feeling a little lost for no reason.
There was a crash, and something fell to the ground. Nancy stretched out her hand to grab it, and was startled for a moment. First she showed a sweet smile, and then the corners of her mouth curved again: "Really, we've already come, why not Just wake them up..."
Raven sneezed hard in the bedroom.
The moon sets and the sun rises, and it is a sunny day in Eagle Leader.
In the morning, shortly after breakfast, Raven put on a long-lost dress.
In front of Eagle Castle, waiting for the arrival of the Slater family envoy.
