On the night when He Nan proposed the plan, all steps had already been carried out in an orderly manner.
With his father's detailed memories, Xiao Yu drew a rough outline of the "Gareth's Curse", and then used this drawing to find the most skilled forger in Ruyi Company to make an exclusive mold. and forge swords according to this pattern.
The material of "Gareth's Curse" is indeed very rare. Even Yu Maosheng couldn't identify what it was. It turned out to be a rare silver-gray color, but it didn't matter. They just wanted to make it anyway. It's just an imitation that looks similar in appearance, so the materials used don't really matter - not many people have seen that sword anyway. Even if the color is slightly different from the real thing, who can know which one is the real one? Which one is false? Therefore, in order to make the final color appear more "silver", snowflake silver is mixed in.
The most difficult part in making such a sword was a characteristic mentioned by Hu Shang, who was trading with Chief Yu - this sword would emit a faint green fluorescence in the dark night. Unfortunately, no one could use it. Knowing how this was done, Mu Jiao, who had profound knowledge of jewelry, ornaments and other handicrafts, finally came up with two plans: first, use jade as the base of the sword body, then wrap it with silver, and finally When engraving the pattern, the outer silver shell is thinned and the pattern is hollowed out to achieve a fake "luminous" effect. The disadvantage of this is that this sword has basically bid farewell to the ranks of "weapons" and is different from pig iron. The swords made may break into pieces when touched, and can only be used as pure ornaments; secondly, the swords are made with silver and other metals mixed with silver and other metals according to the original plan, but the carving lines need to be deeper, and finally the emeralds are used. Or jade is inlaid into the texture bit by bit, but it also has a fatal flaw - that is, the appearance of the sword is still a bit different from the original sword, and the shape is not as good as the first one.
In the end, for the sake of safety, everyone decided to proceed with the two plans simultaneously, build both swords, and decide which one would be more effective in the end.
And while the entire Yu family was busy "making fakes", He Nan was not idle either. He personally drafted some copywriting and sent people to promote it. The main idea was that Ruyi Trading Company had a batch of valuable products. It will be sold publicly, and the one with the highest price will get it, and it also includes some overdue and unclaimed goods in our Taiping Escort Bureau.
Not only that, He Nan also specially selected a few distinctive objects and made special posters for them, including drawings and text introductions. Several of them are quite interesting, but the most important thing is Or did they release the legend of the "evil sword"? Logically speaking, the time limit for the bodyguards and inventory of the bodyguards is three months to half a year. There are also some special orders that will be entrusted to the bodyguards in the form of "storage". The goods are kept longer, but generally after the order period expires, the goods that have not been assigned or taken away by the employer will belong to the escort agency according to the contract.
This is very similar to industries such as pawnshops and pawn shops, and it is also part of the escort agency's efforts to protect its own interests - after all, whether it is delivery or storage, it requires continuous consumption of manpower and material resources, and the stay is too long. Escort bureaus will also suffer losses, especially some small escort bureaus that start from scratch and make small profits. If they do not have the support of a part of the deposit in advance, they are likely to fall into a situation where they cannot make ends meet, and in the end they have no choice but to sell off the property.
The Taiping Escort Bureau has a big business, and they certainly won’t worry about going bankrupt just by packing a batch of goods, but that’s not a reason why just anyone can let them keep the goods for them “for free” – don’t believe it yet, in These days, if you really have something valuable that you want to save, finding an escort agency is more effective than some banks. You don’t have to worry about them packing up and running away. There is also a fairly high level of force protection, and the “detention fee” of the escort agency is comparable to The bank's "custody fees" are much lower, which is equivalent to hiring a group of people to protect your property at a low price in disguise! And if you lose or damage this thing, you can still get a lot of compensation. In these aspects, it is much more affordable than pawnshops and banks. Therefore, in order to avoid being taken advantage of, Mu Jiao re-formulated a property deed for the Taiping Escort Agency early on. Yu Maosheng also used his influence in the escort industry to promote this kind of contract that was beneficial to the industry.
Since the Taiping Escort Bureau cannot proactively contact their employer, and there has been no news from the mysterious buyer so far, even if it is an accusation - so they can only rely on their own performance. To say the least, who can find out the robbery? The identity of the gangster and the retrieval of the goods are also the instructions given by the escort agency to the employer. If the employer comes to ask for information during this period, just tell the truth. Moreover, they spread the legend of the evil sword widely, also in order to contact the buyer who had never seen the dragon.
And coming back to the plan itself, why was He Nan so sure that this "fishing" plan would succeed?
In fact, he is not so sure. According to his idea, if this strategy is implemented properly, he is about 50 to 70% sure - but it is enough.
If you don't take the initiative to release the news, it's no different from sitting back and waiting for death. Relying on manpower alone to find it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack. Whether you can find the robber in the end is another matter. The money spent is real, and it is also spending money. You must choose a person. Relatively speaking, this is a less expensive and more efficient approach.
He Nan's principle of "fishing with a straight hook" was also based on the characteristics of the evil sword itself - although there are rare magic weapons in this world that can cut iron like clay, there are more than one. The person who can send two masters who are as powerful as Director Yu to rob the dart must also be quite powerful. If you just want to get a treasured blade, you can naturally use other methods. There is no need to risk and peace in this way. The escort agency has a feud.
According to this logic, the person who robbed the escort should be interested in the "evil sword" itself. Whether the person is fanatically superstitious about the legend of the curse and does not hesitate to die to prove it; or he has a hobby of collecting. A glimpse of the elegance of this evil sword; or maybe he took the risk just to resell it for a high price. For this sword-snatcher-the "legendary value" acquired by Gareth's Curse is It must be greater than its "use value", especially for guys with the first mentality.
By the way, when he mentioned the quirk of collecting swords, He Nan also thought of Chen Longque, the senior brother of the Jinghong Sect. This guy has a habit of gambling and dueling with swords, although he would not be capable of such a thing given his character. There was news about blocking the road and robbing bad guys, but He Nan was still going to go to Yanshan Mountain and ask him if there were any "comrades" in the world who like to collect all kinds of swords like him, and draw a range for screening. Check, and by the way, I still have some things to discuss with the Jinghong Sect, which is under the auspices of Guan Lingxiao. Although it is not yet included in the nine major sects in name, it has actually almost replaced the status of Evernight Villa.
In any case, if you think along this line of thinking, then the person who takes the sword must get a genuine one - a fake evil sword, even if it is sharper than the original sword, will not mean much to him.
So He Nan wants to disrupt the audience through "forgery", so what if the person holds the genuine article? After hearing that there was a second sword circulating in the world, how could he not be shaken even a little bit?
The only way to verify it is to hold all "possibilities" in your own hands, whether true or false.
He Nan's thinking has always been different from ordinary people. He is not trying to get the real thing back, but to give away the fake one.
Perhaps the person who took the sword was quite resourceful and could detect He Nan's purpose, but even so, he had to take action again and bring back the fake sword.
Of course, He Nan is not a fairy. What if someone just thinks that what he has in his hands is real, and what you did is obviously to deceive me, so what should I do if I don't fall for it?
So he also felt that he was only about 50% sure, but he was already lagging behind in trying to make up for it. Being 50% sure was already quite good. Which thing in this world is perfect?
Considering that there was still nearly half a year before the order deadline for this evil sword, He Nan and the others did not stay in Yueyue for long, and left after giving instructions on everything - after Xiao Yu saw that his father's health had almost improved. She also returned to the "big force" to act together. She and Bo'er have become familiar with each other in the past two days. The two girls often go to the market to buy some trinkets and other things together. Bo'er is older than He and it is difficult to get along with him. Xiao Yu is older, but perhaps due to nature, he is the most child-like among them. Through these days of observation, Wei Kui has become more and more confident that Bo'er is Lu Ning.
After bidding farewell to the Yu family, He Nan and their next stop... Xiaoshan.
