As expected of the origin of pearls, the jewelry produced is quite effective.
This is a three-ring necklace. The middle of the most circle is a large oval pearl. It has not been damaged in any way. It is held in the arms by a bear-shaped gold ornament. Only this part must be stable and beautiful at the same time. It's a real test of your skills.
The concept drawing was drawn by Wang Qi himself, and the materials and craftsmanship were chosen by the craftsmen. Of course, his consent was also sought.
This egg-shaped pearl weighs nearly 30 grams. It is difficult for pure gold to hold such a heavy thing from the side without deforming, so a gold-copper alloy is used, which also makes the color of the finished product darker than pure gold, a bit like the so-called dark color. gold.
The big egg held by the bear forms a V-shape together with four other large pearls. The others are arranged gradually and follow the basic rules of large in front and small in back. However, the largest of these beads does not exceed 1.6 centimeters, and the smaller ones are smaller. Barely 1 cm.
The beads were slightly color-matched, forming a diagonal metallic luster strip on both sides of the neck.
What Wang Qi admires more is the spinning technology used by craftsmen.
This is a kind of gold wire, but it is not completely gold. The structure is a bit like a 5x3 steel strand. One of the three thin wires is not a gold wire, but a silver-copper alloy, the same as the gold-copper alloy of Little Bear. It is used to increase strength.
Wang Qi was surprised that with their industrial level, they could actually make 5x3 gold wire with a total diameter of no more than 1.8 mm. If the times did not advance, it would probably be an heirloom skill that could last for hundreds of years.
"Okay?" Wang Qi looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang blushed and rolled his eyes at him: "Then why are you standing there in a daze?"
Wang Qi just didn't like intrigues and was not mentally retarded. Hearing this, he took the necklace out of the box and put it on Li Xiang.
Compared with the necklace, the necklace is worn at a relatively higher position. The large oval colored scale pearl just presses on Li Xiang's clavicle fossa. When the posture is normal, the pressure on the little golden bear is also smaller.
After taking Li, he wanted to look in the mirror. Wang Qi was looking at him from the side.
The colorful light effect of colorful scale pearls is really good. At first glance, it does not look like a pearl at all, but more like a metal snakeskin with reduced proportions. As the light conditions change, the proportion of various lights it reflects will change, which is very dreamy.
It's a pity that the locals don't know how to do business. If there are some advertising masters who can invent the "eternal charm", they can sell it at ten times the price.
After getting the necklace, I also had a tour of the city. Judging from the hotel's hurried attitude in delivering the necklace early in the morning, I would have to pay more if I didn't leave.
I inquired before leaving and found out that the room rate had almost tripled in just a few days.
Even in the short time it took for him to inquire about things with the front desk, the house they had vacated was already half occupied!
Well-informed, rich and powerful people gathered in the capital at a very fast speed, and the east side was likely to collapse.
It's not that he looks down on the people, but at the current stage of development of Lei Ming Country, the rich will definitely be able to enjoy higher-level educational resources. Even if some of them are prodigal, it does not prevent most of them from having a higher vision and knowledge than ordinary people. Naturally, Have certain organizational skills.
The situation in the magical world is even more serious. Although having money does not necessarily mean that you can learn magic, having no money is often directly insulated from magic, which means that there is a high probability that the group of people who escaped also contain a group of magical powers.
The reduction in organizational capabilities and magical strength will only make an already vulnerable area more vulnerable.
The demons from Battalion 301 revealed that the demons have not completely conquered the main world for a long time, and according to the information collected at this stage, the main world is really not that powerful.
There are still two key pieces of information that are unknown. It’s too early to draw conclusions. Let’s take a look.
Let’s continue to the Fountain of Youth first.
After meeting with the guarantor, Wang Qi saw the two men with sad faces and asked, "You seem to be in trouble?"
】
"The situation of the Chamber of Commerce is not very good. After we finish this trip with you, we will probably have to find another way to make a living."
Wang Qi nodded and did not say anything about hiring them.
The guarantors were not particularly disappointed after putting aside their thoughts. At least they were doing well now, unlike those in the headquarters who were moving and might be overtaken by the demons at any time.
After the group left the lake, the guarantor's mentality had almost recovered. He drove his horse forward and handed over what he had promised through Akeem.
Wang Qi took the pamphlet and opened it: "Hey, isn't this a wild dog?"
Li Xiang also looked over and saw it, turned around and asked the guarantee officer: "What do you call it?"
"Madam, its name is Agnel."
Wild dogs have such strange names.
When he was in the penal colony, there were three sources of information about the demons: folk-related books, observations on the battlefield, and the "memoirs" of the 301st Battalion.
In battlefield observation, you can basically equate the "number of deaths" with the progress bar. The more people killed, the higher the understanding.
There are no anatomy or poison experiments. After killing enough people, the soldiers will have a clear safety boundary and will try more ways to fight.
For example, for a simple group of little demons, everyone would not hesitate to fire from 300 meters away, but if there are other demons mixed in, the boundary will be extended to 500 meters or even further. Regardless of the specific distance of the firefight, it is impossible for soldiers to watch the enemy approach and do nothing. Outside the safe boundary, they focus on observation, trying to find special individuals such as the command core and try to kill them, and then observe the dynamics of the enemy group and do what they want. out analysis.
The information provided by folk books...can't be said to be non-existent, but it can only be used as a reference.
The biggest problem with folk books is that they have doubtful confidence. If you find ten versions, you can draw ten completely different wild dogs, even the number of legs is different.
Therefore, after the 61st Regiment set up its structure, the main basis other than battlefield information was transferred to the memoirs of the 301st Battalion. The staff department has a special team to screen these memoirs, summarize the valuable information, and then go to the 301st Battalion to further expand the collection and try to build a portrait, which will be compiled and summarized as a reference.
The mid-level demons call the Agnel Evil Dog, and it has only one title - wild dog, because it really is like a wild dog. No lord is willing to raise and feed this group of low-level demons that only eat meat and reproduce quickly. The price/performance ratio is too low.
Wild dogs pose no threat to the penal colony at all. According to archeology, there may be several kinds of monsters related to wild dogs in the penal colony. Their biggest flaw is that they have no way to attack the city wall.
Due to the security situation in the penal colony, the most basic aspect of whether a city is established is the city wall. A city may not have a lord's palace, but if there are no city walls, no one will live in it.
In the main world, there are rumors that a country to the west has been completely bulldozed. It is probably the same as the Thunder Kingdom, which has no city walls.
The demons are scary enough even if they are just a little devil, and it would not be surprising if there is another wave of demons on the ground, and they will bulldoze some cities without walls.
As the group continued to move northwest, they paid more attention to the city wall.
Strictly speaking, it is wrong to say that there are no walls at all. Unfortunately, there is no difference between those with and without city walls in many places.
All the way to the northwest border of Thunder Kingdom, there are roughly two types of city walls seen along the way.
One is an ancient city wall that is unknown how old it is. Most of them are relatively short, and few are more than 4 meters high. After inquiry, it was found that most of them were repaired later. The biggest feature of these ancient city walls is not that they are short, but their location. The city basically relies on the city wall to distinguish the central area from the suburbs. It does not have an open area in front of it like a regular city wall for fighting. It is difficult to use the city wall in a real fight. role.
The other is the city wall under construction!
There are those who are sick and seek medical treatment urgently, and there are those who are working as foreigners. Anyway, most of these city walls have not been built yet.
Thinking on the bright side, as long as the front line of Huguang can be defended, there will not be particularly heavy military pressure on those further to the west for the time being.
But can it be defended?
I don’t know, Wang Qi plans to come back and take a look when he returns from the Fountain of Youth.
