2881 United as one (1)
In a society with low productivity, it was not easy to get metal objects, and they all had high value.
In many cases, the number of widows with metal objects directly represented the gap between the rich and the poor.
It was the same for the demon eating city. The ordinary people did not have many iron tools, and most of the metal resources were in the hands of the government.
Especially during wartime, the control of metal was even stricter.
The reserve metals in the demon eating city had all been sent to the blacksmith shop to make city-defense weapons such as armor-piercing arrows.
The blacksmith didn’t disappoint either. In just three days, 10000 armor-piercing arrows were completed.
The limited stock of iron ingots had already been used up, so after hearing the blacksmith’s request, everyone felt very embarrassed.
why don’t we donate the ironware in our house, as well as all kinds of gold, silver, and bronze ware, for master ghost craftsman to use? ”
Someone made a suggestion, and everyone immediately agreed.
The demon eating city was in danger and was surrounded by demons. Everyone knew what would happen if the city was broken.
Protecting the demon Eater city and their families was something that every resident had to take part in.
Under such special circumstances, one should not think too much about personal gains and losses, but rather the overall situation.
It didn’t take long for the people in the city to receive news that master ghost craftsman was preparing to build a city-guarding weapon, but he lacked enough metal.
Therefore, they needed the support of all the people in the city. They had to donate metal objects that they didn’t need at home for the time being as a contribution to the protection of the demon eating city.
The people in the city responded enthusiastically to this matter.
All kinds of metal objects were found. When martial artists patrolled the streets and drove their carriages past, they would pile them up on the long carriage.
“Many thanks, many thanks to all the elders and fellow villagers!”
The martial artists, who were usually stern, were now cupping their fists and thanking the people. They were obviously touched by the scene in front of them.
Although as a commoner, he would complain a lot, but when danger came, he was the most understanding.
Carts pulled by giant Bulls shuttled through the streets of Demon Eater city. After they were filled with all kinds of metal objects, they were transported back to the street where the blacksmith shop was located.
The blacksmith stood at the door, watching the scene in front of him in silence. There seemed to be flames flickering in his eye sockets.
wow, the people of the demon Eater city are really impressive. They are much more sensible than the scumbags I met back then.
Liu Qing said in a faint tone, then looked at the blacksmith with a bright smile.
“All the people in the city have helped you so much, so I can’t fall behind. I must also help you find iron.
About 300 feet underground in the city, there was a large tomb of unknown age. It was probably a Marquis of a certain dynasty.
The Iron Men and iron horses in the tomb were arranged in a formation, and there were quite a number of them. There was even a ghost king Living inside.
That fellow is very low-key. I’ve stayed in the city for so long, but it has never taken the initiative to show itself.
Today, I’ll make a trip down to discuss with the ghost king and borrow his burial objects.”
As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
“How’s the ghost king’s strength? do you need my help?”
The blacksmith turned his head and asked Liu Qing, his eyes also flashing with fighting intent.
He had already advanced to the level of a ghost king, and even Liu Qing was shocked by his strength.
His own strength was not weak, and if combined with his superb fire control technique, ordinary ghost kings were not his match at all.
The only thing he was lacking was perhaps combat experience.
“Don’t worry, if it was in the past, I might be afraid of it.
However, now that I’m holding the skeleton hammer and wearing the battle armor that master has given me, if that ghost king dares to disobey me, I’ll beat it until it kneels and calls for its mother!”
Her face was clearly as beautiful as a fairy’s, but the words she said made the seven-foot man blush with shame.
A cultivator from the discipline Commission who was standing beside Liu Qing had a strange expression on his face when he heard Liu Qing’s words.
“Little guy, do you think I’m bragging?”
Liu Qing blinked his eyes, looked at the young cultivator from the Department of Discipline Inspection, and asked in an indifferent tone.
Cold sweat immediately rolled down the young cultivator’s forehead, and he looked as if he had been wronged.
“Great aunt, I’ve never thought of it that way. You’ve definitely misunderstood.”
“Oh, then what did your expression just now mean?”
“I’m just thinking about how the ghost king would call you mother, I’m just thinking about it, I’m just thinking about it.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing was stunned for a moment before he suddenly burst out laughing.
“You’re interesting, little guy. I like you very much.
This is Demon King Bai Lin’s heart-protecting armor. I don’t need it, so I’ll give it to you as a gift!”
As he spoke, he threw an item into the cultivator’s arms.
The next moment, Liu Qing had disappeared without a trace.
The young cultivator looked at the item in his arms and found that it was emitting a fishy and bloody smell. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
“This is a good item. I’ll help you refine it later. It can help you block a fatal attack.”
The blacksmith’s voice sounded, still indifferent.
When the discipline Commission’s young cultivator heard this, his face was filled with joy, and he hurriedly thanked the blacksmith.
no need to thank me. We’re just doing our part to protect the demon-eating city.
While they were talking, the people on the streets had already started to get busy, throwing all kinds of metals into the furnace.
The blacksmith personally directed them to make the mold for the casting, and the whole process was meticulous.
The blueprint that Tang Zhen had provided to the blacksmith was actually a special type of cannon. It was specially forged by Tang Zhen according to the blacksmith’s ability.
The name was also very simple. It was called the demon Slayer cannon.
Using special cannons, they could fire the cannonballs that were personally made by blacksmiths and cause damage to the demons.
It sounded simple, but in the eyes of an expert, it was obvious how difficult it was.
Other things aside, no one in this world could understand the runic magic circle on the demon Slayer cannon.
The blacksmith also didn’t know much, but he was very clear in his heart that the things Tang Zhen gave were absolutely not wrong.
After everyone was busy, the mold was finally completed. After the cannon was cast, it would be quenched and polished by the blacksmith.
After instructing everyone to make a large number of molds using the same method, the blacksmith returned to the shop.
After he entered, he saw Tang Zhen standing beside the table. He seemed to be drawing something.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me at any time,”
The blacksmith happened to see the content of Tang Zhen’s painting at this moment. It was a Golden Bridge that ran through the sky. On it, there were many powerful figures that were faintly discernible.
In addition, the Golden Bridge was covered with all kinds of runes. The blacksmith felt dizzy just by glancing at it.
At this moment, Tang Zhen suddenly put down his brush and wrote a “divination” character at the bottom of the paper.
The blacksmith still couldn’t understand it, but he had a feeling that this word seemed to be able to see through the secrets of heaven.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the entire piece of paper instantly turned into particles and disappeared without a trace like smoke.
“It still doesn’t work!”
Tang Zhen sighed as he spoke. He shook his head and returned to the courtyard before sitting under the old tree.
The blacksmith recalled the runes he had just seen and immediately felt dizzy, as if his body was about to explode.
While he was shocked, he quickly erased all the memories in his mind and didn’t dare to let his thoughts run wild.
Arriving in front of the blacksmith furnace, the blacksmith picked up the drawing that Tang Zhen had given him before and looked at it again with full concentration.
Then, he picked up the iron hammer and began to hit his enemy continuously amidst the screams.
