Longevity Martial Arts: Beginning with Sword Drawing

Chapter 50 has to add money!
Lin Bei squinted his eyes and looked at the back of the other party, hesitating.

However, when he saw that the other party stopped just a few hundred meters away, Lin Bei was relieved a lot.

This distance has always been within his line of sight, and it is impossible to arrange any traps.

Since there were no traps, Lin Bei naturally followed without fear.

As for the three members of the Li family, he stayed where they were.

To deal with alien beasts, their traps are still of great help.

But in the absence of traps, it is basically useless to deal with a fierce warrior.

In other words, without the blessing of traps, if the enemy is too weak, it will not be their turn to take action; and if the enemy is too strong, they will not be able to intervene at all!
What's more, this guy who is suspected of being a hunter has already made it clear that he just wants to talk to Lin Bei alone.

That being the case, then he will go to the meeting alone!

Anyway, the opposite is also a person, who is afraid of whom!

Stopping three feet away from the masked man, Lin Bei looked at him and said directly, "Tell me, what do you want me for?"

The masked man chuckled, took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, threw it to Lin Bei with a flick of his hand.

Lin Bei reached out to take it, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank instantly: "Bow and crossbow?"

What was drawn on it was the structural design of a bow and crossbow!
"You want a custom crossbow?!"

Lin Bei's complexion changed slightly, and he asked aloud.

"That's right, I heard that you are the new signature foundry of [Strong Blacksmith Shop], and your casting talent is top-notch in the world. I wonder if you can forge this crossbow?"

The masked man was very frank, looking straight into Lin Bei's eyes.

Lin Bei shook his head: "Manufacturing armored crossbows is against the law of Dafeng!"

"As long as you and I keep our mouths shut, who will know? If you can forge it, I'm willing to pay 15 taels of silver for each! You cast me a cross!"

The masked man offered a price.

15 taels of silver per rack, ten racks equals 150 taels of silver!

Lin Bei stretched out a finger and shook it.

"What? You can't cast it?"

The masked man's tone was a little disappointed.

Lin Bei shook his head again, his tone raised a bit: "We need to pay more!"

Great obedience to the law?

As long as the money is enough, Lin Bei said: "What is that?"

Yes, armor, bows and crossbows are banned.

But this is the world of martial arts after all, and it is very different from the previous life.

Although the law is strict, crossbow armor has been banned repeatedly, especially for small batches of collections, which are very common, but they cannot be put on the bright side.

As long as you don't get caught, there's no problem!
Anyway, it is impossible for him to engrave his own name on the crossbow bolts he made.

The prohibition of crossbow armor by law is essentially to consolidate the rule of the imperial power.

Therefore, as long as there are not dozens or hundreds of pieces, the government will generally not bother to investigate thoroughly!

After all, if you want to attack the government with ten bows and crossbows, it is no different from sending yourself to death!

As for whether the other party will backstab himself?
Oh, the crime of hiding crossbows: both buyers and sellers are guilty of the same crime!

As long as the opponent is not stupid, he will not backstab himself.

Even if he was stabbed in the back.

Lin Bei can also say again: "You said I cast it, so I cast it? Do you have any evidence?"

As long as he is not caught on the spot, no one can prove that he made the crossbow!

This is a bit risky, but Lin Bei is really short of money, he thinks he can try it, anyway, the risk is not great, and it is no more dangerous than hunting exotic animals.

The point is, you can agree to it now, and it is not bad to buy a bow and crossbow design blueprint for free. This stuff is definitely worth a lot.

As for whether to accept this job or not, we will talk about it later!
Anyway, even if he puts on his pants and refuses to admit it, the other party can't do anything to him!

The masked man was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and offered another price: "20 taels!"

Lin Bei still shook his head: "The law must not be violated!"

The masked man squinted his eyes: "23 taels of silver, no more!"

"35 taels, buy it now!"

Lin Bei's tone was firm.

"25 taels, this is the highest price, no matter how high it is, I can't afford it!"

"30 taels!"

"make a deal!"

In the end, the masked man was willing to commission a custom order at a price of 30 taels.

30 taels of silver for one rack, and the demand is ten racks, which is equivalent to an order of 300 taels of silver!
This price is definitely higher than the value of the crossbow itself, but considering that it is prohibited by law, the price is very reasonable.

The big order of 300 taels is worth taking some risks for Lin Bei!

"Except for ordinary iron ore, special materials need to be paid by oneself."

Lin Bei once again threw a condition to the opponent.

The crossbow design drawing mentioned that this crossbow needs some special ore to be mixed and forged, and Lin Bei can't get it at all.

Even if he could, he wouldn't waste his time doing it.

Anyway, he is only in charge of forging, and he can provide one or two general materials. As for special materials, don't even think about it!
"It's natural."

The masked man didn't intend to let the other party prepare scarce materials by himself, which would be easy to expose.

He has already prepared special materials!

He untied a cowhide bag from his waist and threw it out.

It was a cowhide bag that looked like it was used to hold water. After Lin Bei took it, his arm sank, and he realized that it was full of ore!

"It's quite well prepared..."

Lin Bei weighed it down, it was quite heavy.

"This is the weight of casting seven crossbows. After two months, I want you to deliver five crossbows!"

"As for the remaining five, I will find you with the materials when the delivery time comes."

The masked man looked at Lin Beidao.

He knew that forging would also have a failure rate, so he prepared more materials in case the other party failed to forge the quantity he requested.

And the bow and crossbow design he gave is only a little more difficult than ordinary swords and swords, and it is not as good as sophisticated weapons, so the failure rate will not be too high.

Come to think of it, seven ingredients are enough!
Lin Bei tied the cowhide bag around his waist, looked at the masked man, and shook his head: "Delivery in three batches, once every one and a half months! The first delivery of four bows and crossbows!"

"Three batches of deliveries?"

The masked man frowned slightly.

Three batches of deliveries need to be run three times, and the risk of exposure is greater.

But still acceptable.

"No problem, then divide into three batches!"

The masked man pondered for a while, and then agreed. He didn't ask why the other party asked to deliver in three batches. Maybe it was because of the difficulty of forging.

"readily!"

Lin Bei suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth, and said again: "Then please pay the deposit! The deposit is one-third, 100 taels of silver!"

"100 taels of silver!?"

The masked man was obviously a little surprised, he shook his head violently: "Impossible, what if you don't deliver the goods to me after paying such a large deposit?"

"You can rest assured about this. I adhere to the principle of credit-based business and will never default on the goods. If you don't believe me, I can swear to God!"

Lin Bei patted his chest, trying to persuade the other party to pay the deposit of 100 taels obediently.

However, the masked man was obviously not a credulous person and did not listen to his promise.

He shook his head: "100 taels is too much. To be honest, even if you run away with the crossbow design, rare ore, and 100 taels of silver, I can't find you. I can only admit that I am unlucky!"

It is true that the entrusting party is obviously much more passive than the entrusted party in the transaction.

Even if Lin Bei ran away with the money, he could only scold his mother, but there was nothing he could do.
