"You want to order a sword?! Are you sure?"
Zhu Kangsheng frowned slightly, and Han Zhao found him after a long journey. He thought Han Zhao wanted to change to a better knife, but he didn't expect to ask for a sword.
Han Mingming understood what Zhu Kangsheng was worried about, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, the things I promised you will only be completed ahead of schedule and will never be delayed. Practicing swordsmanship is also to increase the trump cards. I only want to do this." I’m telling you, please don’t spread the word.”
"I understand." Zhu Kangsheng felt relieved when he saw Han Zhao's calm expression.
With Han Zhao's exaggerated qualifications, it seems that it would be no problem to practice another sword technique.
What's more, he couldn't find anyone who was capable and willing to help him.
"Calculate, how much does it cost?" Han Zhao continued.
"No need, it's on me." Zhu Kangsheng said seriously.
"Okay." Han Zhao was not polite to him. After all, with his increased strength, he could complete the transaction faster.
"Brother Han, let's do this. I will make a sword for you first, and when you complete our deal, I will recast the sword for you." Zhu Kangsheng continued.
"It's just that in the end, when you recast it, the quality will be lower than recasting it alone. After all, even if I devote my life's efforts and material accumulation, I won't be able to forge two high-quality weapons for you."
"Is that so?" Han Zhao frowned slightly, it was really hard to choose between the two.
'Yun Swordsmanship' does not have strict requirements for the sword weapon used to 'raise the sword', but the higher the quality of the sword, the better the effect of raising the sword will be, and the more powerful it will be when drawing the sword. He does not want to lose out on the quality of the weapon one day.
Thinking of this, he asked: "What if I collect materials for you? Is that okay?"
"Then there's no big problem." Zhu Kangsheng nodded: "Please collect more black gold, so as to ensure the quality of the final recasting. I can prepare enough other materials, but I can't afford this black gold."
Black gold is a relatively precious forging material. Adding it to weapons can increase strength and toughness. Some warriors who are good at fists, if they have money, will buy gloves mixed with black gold. It is not a problem to use the sword hard.
Generally speaking, only two taels of gold can buy one tael of black gold, which is the lowest price in the market.
"I will find a way to collect Ugin."
Han Zhao responded.
Although it was a transaction, he would not embarrass Zhu Kangsheng. After all, it was the weapon he wanted to use.
"Approximately how many kilograms of black gold are needed?" Han Zhao added.
"It depends on how heavy and long you want the sword to be." Zhu Kangsheng replied.
"That's true, I almost forgot." Han Zhao took out the sketch of the sword he needed from his arms. He still liked a sword similar to the Tang Dynasty straight knife. It was easy to use and comfortable to look at.
As for fancy knives like machetes and nine-ring knives, he was not interested. Anyway, as long as the material is good enough, the shape of the knife actually has little impact.
Zhu Kangsheng took the drawing and looked at it carefully. The drawing was good, and he had relatively clear requirements for length, width, and weight, which also reduced trouble for his forging.
Although Han Zhao was not a weapons enthusiast in his previous life, he still liked to follow martial arts dramas and watch high-intensity fight highlights.
He also bought Tang Dynasty straight swords and Tang Dynasty warrior uniforms, and he became addicted.
It's just that he got tired after playing with the sword that weighed more than three kilograms at that time. Now the frost knife that weighs four kilograms is like a toy to him, too light.
After breaking through to the bone training realm, and with the improved special effects of the health-preserving formula, his arm strength in one arm has reached nearly 300 kilograms.
The largest stone lock in the Shanshan Boxing Academy weighs nearly three hundred kilograms. I heard Lu Yi say that it is for training for blood training warriors.
Han Zhao had tried secretly before, and he could move with all his strength.
Now he may be able to move easily.
Trying your best to lift a three hundred kilogram thing is not the same as lifting it easily.
"You want a weapon weighing twenty kilograms?!" Zhu Kangsheng was stunned when he discovered that there was a "ten" behind the "two" in the weight.
"It will be used in the future. You can just forge a sword weighing seven or eight kilograms for me now. Is it difficult?" Han Zhao responded. He would at least wait until the blood training realm or the health formula to break through the third level before dealing with the flying dragon. Zhai, then his arm strength will probably exceed 500 kilograms.
Therefore, a knife weighing twenty to thirty kilograms is more suitable for him.
"That's no problem." Zhu Kangsheng nodded, looking a little hesitant: "It's just that you have to prepare at least thirty kilograms of black gold when recasting. In such a short time..."
It's not that he doesn't believe that Han Zhao can make further progress in two or three years, but to purchase thirty kilograms of black gold, he needs at least sixty kilograms of gold, which is six hundred taels of gold and six thousand taels of silver.
Fortunately, an emperor of the former Qin Dynasty changed the weights and measures from sixteen taels per catty to sixteen taels per catty, which is still used by the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Qi. Otherwise, nine thousand six hundred taels of silver would have been needed.
Even so, the amount of six thousand taels of silver would probably require a martial arts master or a wealthy gentleman to come up with it.
"Don't worry, you forge it for me first, and I will find a way to solve other things." Han Zhao smiled. As his strength increases, his ability to make money will naturally increase.
"Okay, I'll make a sword for you first. I forge relatively few swords. You can pick up the sword in three months, and then come back in two months to pick up the sword." Zhu Kangsheng said nothing more after receiving Han Zhao's assurance. .
Originally, he would recast the sword for Han Zhao only after the transaction was completed. When the recasting was completed, it would be the day of his death.
The reason why I care so much is because after being a blacksmith for a lifetime, I should try my best to make the final work and strive to be close to perfection, so that my time in this world is not in vain.
"In that case, please! Zhu Zhuangzhu."
Han Zhao cupped his fists and saluted, solemnly.
Later, he discussed the details of the sword with Zhu Kangsheng, and stayed until evening before returning to Blackstone City.
...
Five days later.
morning.
Han Zhao stood in the yard, practicing the 'sword drawing technique' with the frost knife.
Although the difficulty of the 'Sword Drawing Technique' is not high, and its power almost entirely depends on the completion of the 'Sword Raising Technique', Han Zhao will not discount it if it can be perfected.
When doing anything, if you want to be lazy by 1% today, you will want to be lazy by 2% tomorrow, and one day you will not want to do anything at all.
Either don't do it, do it to the best of your ability.
This is his way of doing things.
In this way, Han Zhao continued to practice until almost noon.
Martial Arts: Bone Shrinking Technique (40% perfect, can be improved), Broken Moon Sword Technique (26% entry level for the second level, can be improved), Sword Drawing Technique (56% entry level, can be improved)
After looking at the training progress on the system panel, Han Zhao smiled.
In the past nearly two months, his Bone Shrinking Technique has taken a big step closer to being completely perfect. I don't know if it is because of the effect of the entry "Basic Master".
The speed of Duanyue Sword Technique has also increased by 21% during this period, which is much slower than the first level. However, this is only the result of comparing with himself. Later, he will go to Lu Yi to learn the second level. The complete contents of the layer.
As for the sword-drawing technique, after practicing to this level in five days, the progress is very fast.
"The sword-drawing technique should be considered a basic skill, right?" Han Zhao thought to himself.
He put away the frost knife and went out. It was almost lunch time at this time. He hadn't eaten for a long time. Lu Yi would be very happy if he brought good news today.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the martial arts gym.
During lunch break, many apprentices went home to eat, and those with money went to restaurants together.
"Han Zhao."
"Xiao Han, what have you been doing recently?"
"You haven't been here for a long time?"
Seeing Han Zhao, who had not been here for nearly two months, some people came up to say hello, some because they had a good relationship with him, and some because of his relationship with Zhao Yuantu.
However, most people chose to ignore it, not only because they were not familiar with each other, but also because Han Zhao had a bad relationship with Zhang Tianwen, a member of a large family, so it was better to have less to worry about than to do more.
Han Zhao smiled and said hello, asked if Lu Yi was there, and then quickly entered the martial arts gym.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Xu Ling and Su Yun practicing more, but Zhang Tianwen was not there.
"Han Zhao, you are finally here." Xu Ling stopped.
"Senior Sister Xu, Senior Sister Su." Han Zhao cupped his fists and said, "I have something to do with Master Lu, so I'll take the first step."
With that said, he walked directly towards the kitchen in the back.
"Huh?" Xu Ling opened his mouth. He was also planning to ask Han Zhao to eat haggis soup together!
Seeing this, Su Yun sighed secretly.
I'm afraid her good friend is more than just a friend of Han Zhao, but it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Talking too much would seem like she is provoking.
It's just that this Han Zhao is too mediocre and not a good match.
In today's world, strength and background speak for themselves after all.
...
"Squeak~!"
Han Zhao pushed open the kitchen door hard.
Lu Yizheng was sipping a glass of wine and eating a table full of dishes alone.
Han Zhao looked outside, then closed the door tightly and bowed, "Master Lu."
"Are you willing to come back?" Lu Yi said calmly, picking up a peanut and putting it into his mouth, "Have you made enough money?"
Han Zhao said seriously: "I made a breakthrough."
"Yes, a breakthrough." Lu Yi nodded, chewed some peanuts, and raised his wine glass.
"I broke through the bone training realm." Han Zhao added.
Bang——!
The wine glass in Lu Yi's hand fell on the table, and the wine soaked his silk clothes, but he didn't care at all. He stood up and the bench made a harsh sound on the floor, but it was his own The voice got louder, "What did you just say?!"
"I felt that I had reached a bottleneck some time ago, so I went out to take some private jobs to make money. I have eaten more good food recently. When I got up and practiced my sword skills this morning, I naturally made a breakthrough." Han Zhao stepped forward and whispered Di Shi said: "Please Master Lu keep it secret for me."
When Lu Yi heard this, he punched Han Zhao in the chest with a fierce punch.
Han Zhao was taken aback, grabbed the scabbard and turned around to block.
Thump thump thump!
An invisible force was transmitted through the scabbard, and Han Zhao took three steps back before standing firm.
Although this power contained domineering power, it did not cause any substantial harm to him.
Is this strength?
"Master Lu, you don't have martial ethics, so how can you sneak up on me?" Han Zhao said with a smile, "What if I can't catch you?"
"Even if you haven't reached the bone training realm, this strength can't hurt you. It will make your chest hurt for two days at most." Lu Yi snorted, but the joy on his face could not be concealed in any way. He strode to Han Zhao Next to him, he rolled up his sleeves.
Han Zhao's arm muscles were strong and red. This was an external manifestation of his practicing the Duanyue Sword Technique and reaching the bone training stage, and using all his body strength.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" After confirming again, Lu Yi said three good words in succession.
"I also asked Master Lu to keep it a secret for me for a while," Han Zhao said, cupping his fists.
Lu Yi took a deep look at Han Zhao and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you are as smart as a ghost!"
He understood what Han Zhao meant.
He broke through the Bone Training Realm in less than a year and a half after practicing swordsmanship. All the major forces would rush for this kind of talent. If Han Zhao didn't handle it well in the middle, he might offend some people who couldn't afford to offend him.
But if he was exposed again half a year or a year later, his evaluation would be downgraded from genius to excellent.
There will be many big forces who want it, but they won't fight for it.
'Although this Han Zhao was of ordinary origin and of inferior character, his understanding and character were indeed beyond ordinary people. At this moment, Lu Yi, who originally wanted to take care of himself in retirement, wanted to become a disciple.
This is not an apprenticeship relationship where you pay money, but a close disciple who inherits the mantle.
"Don't worry, only the two of us know about this matter. You decide for yourself whether you want to tell Yuan Tu or not." After thinking for a moment, Lu Yi was ready to inspect Han Zhao again.
After all, this matter is no small matter.
Smart people are sometimes more likely to be realistic and cool.
"Thank you Master Lu." Han Zhao saluted respectfully.
"Change to another place and follow me to the room." Lu Yi continued: "With your understanding, you can get in touch with the fundamental diagram of Duanyue Sword Technique in advance."
"okay!"
