Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 25 Mr. Xu (please collect)

The big bird saw the opportunity, grabbed a newly made long-handled ax with two golden claws, and spread its wings.

boom!
The long-handled ax weighed fifteen kilograms, which slowed down the speed of the big bird's takeoff. His head was severely hit by a stone, but it flew up anyway.

"I'm not here to steal, I'm here to buy."

The big bird circled twice in the air, took out a small stone from its feathers and smashed it down.

"This big bird can talk. If you catch it, you can sell it for a good price."

The two strong men suddenly became excited.

"unlucky!"

The big bird is Er Falcon. The humans here are too irritable and there is no reason to explain. It has no choice but to drag the big ax and spread its wings and fly high.

"What are you two arguing about?"

A middle-aged man with a goatee walked out of the brick-lined main room, with a medium build and piercing eyes. Even though he was wearing a coarse cloth robe with a left hem, he still showed an extraordinary aura.

"Father, a big talking bird flew over just now."

"Father, the ax we just made was stolen by a big bird."

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky, but he didn't find any big birds. He frowned and asked, "Aren't you two awake? We don't have big talking birds here, and they steal axes. A bird steals an ax and a bird steals an axe." use."

The two strong men looked at each other, dumbfounded. One of them pointed to the place where the ax had been placed: "No, father, you can see for yourself."

The ax is really gone. This is a specially made ax for a customer. I will pick it up tonight.

The middle-aged man frowned, walked over and looked around repeatedly, but there was no trace at all.

"Forget it, hurry up and build another one."

The middle-aged man seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't care about the loss of the axe, so he turned around and left after saying something casually.

The faces of the two brawny brothers suddenly turned bitter: their father does not work in blacksmithing, and their brothers are quite tired today.

"what is this?"

The second child suddenly saw something shiny red on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and looked at the sun repeatedly. Not to mention it looked pretty good.

The middle-aged man turned around and glanced casually. His eyes were instantly attracted to the brown crystal stone. He stopped and turned around: "Bring it over and show it to me."

The second child hurriedly walked over and handed the crystal to his father.

"This is... red flame crystal?"

"No! Red Flame Crystal is not this color."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then held the spar with three fingers, and a trace of spiritual power was injected into the spar from his fingers.

"His..."

The middle-aged man's hands were shaking due to the fiery energy coming out of the crystal, and he almost threw the crystal away.

"What else did that big bird say just now?"

Seeing his father's 360-degree turn, the boss quickly repeated what Er Falcon had just said.

The middle-aged man bit his lip and was silent for a long time, finally nodded and said: "If it reappears next time, find a way to stay with it. You two continue to forge, I will go out for a while."

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man came to a small courtyard of a green brick and tile house in the east of the village, opened the door and walked straight in.

"Master Xu, you..."

A tall, strong man walked out of the main room. His face was startled at first, and then he became eager: "Haha, rare guest, rare guest, please come inside." The strong man said that he ran over and locked the courtyard door, and then returned to the main room. house.

The two sat down at the table, and the strong man said in a low voice, "Master Xu seems to be in a hurry."

Mr. Xu nodded, opened his palm and showed the spar: "Leader Han, have you seen this kind of spar?"

Leader Han looked at it for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Master Xu, I'm just a rough guy. I've never seen such a thing before. Just tell me what it is."

Master Xu sighed: "This kind of thing is called Beast Soul Crystal. In the past, only advanced spirit beasts could have this kind of thing."

"Why did Mr. Xu say that in the past? Are the spiritual beasts gone now?"

The strong man asked curiously.

Mr. Xu smiled bitterly: "The beast soul crystal is a good thing. It is of great use whether it is for alchemy or alchemy. But the beast soul crystal in front of you does not belong to the spirit beast, but to the contaminated evil beast. The most terrible thing is, This evil beast is just an ordinary evil beast and has not advanced."

"Sigh... There are fewer and fewer advanced spiritual beasts, but evil beasts are getting stronger and stronger. This world is over, it is really over."

Leader Han remained silent. He knew that Mr. Xu did not come here to complain.

After sighing for a long time, Mr. Xu finally returned to the topic: "This is a beast soul crystal contaminated by red flames. It will definitely not work to make elixirs with it. But it can greatly increase the temperature of the furnace fire, and it can also convert part of the beast soul." Inject it into the weapon."

"The weapons forged with it are completely different from the weapons forged from pig iron in the past."

"Really?"

Leader Han's eyes lit up, and surprise appeared on his face: "I knew Mr. Xu would not let me down. Our current weapons are incomparable to those of World of Warcraft warriors. With this kind of crystal, can we greatly improve our weapons?" quality."

Master Xu nodded: "That's why I came to Chief Han. Now I have a channel to get this kind of spar, but I can't measure the specific value. I don't know what price I should give him."

There is no coal in this world. When blacksmiths forge iron tools, they use charcoal processed from high-quality wood. That kind of charcoal is very expensive.

But there are alchemists in this world, and alchemists can use red flame crystals to make weapons.

Master Xu is a low-level alchemist. Don't underestimate low-level warlocks. In recent hundreds of years, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the world, it has been difficult for warlocks to advance. Low-level warlocks like Master Xu are rare talents.

However, Mr. Xu was also an ambitious man and was unwilling to join the Warcraft clan, so he hid his identity and trained his two sons to be blacksmiths.

As for Leader Han, they are rebels who conspired to fight against the monsters. They accidentally discovered Master Xu's identity as a warlock and forced him to join the group.

When it comes to rebellion, you either don't join or you join completely. It's impossible to have both sides.

Under the coercion and inducement of Leader Han, Mr. Xu agreed to build weapons for the rebels and ignored any unnecessary matters.

But today, Mr. Xu has to ask about this kind of thing, because Leader Han is the boss. If he thinks it doesn't matter or doesn't need it, Mr. Xu can only give up. He can't use beast soul crystals to make farm tools and sell them to farmers.

Leader Han is a warrior and has never even heard of such things as beast soul crystals, but the long swords used by Warcraft warriors are really good. They picked them up on the battlefield and can sell them for one gold coin and ten silver coins in private, and they The rebel army's best long knife only costs two silver coins (1 gold coin = 20 silver coins = 1000 copper coins).

As the saying goes, don't use doubtful people, and don't doubt employing people.

Leader Han originally wanted to ask how many beast soul crystals were needed to make a weapon, but then he thought about it. He didn't understand it even after Master Xu said it. It just made him look suspicious, so he might as well just go easy.

Thinking of this, Leader Han said directly: "Master Xu, you are an expert in making weapons, but I don't understand it either. Just watch..."

"But within our rebel army, there is a reference price. A thirty-pound orc long knife requires one gold coin for internal transactions."

"The long knives used by our humans usually weigh about ten pounds, so as long as you make a weapon of the same quality, I will charge you five silver coins. You can use it yourself and sell it again."

"If the cost exceeds this... then just build three or four handles and replace them with your own people."

After hearing these words, Mr. Xu probably had something in his mind. Of course, he would have to try it himself with the beast soul crystals later to see how many were needed to make a long knife.
