Early the next morning, Zhao Ji got up and went to the security station to eat and train.
The senior leaders of the village made preparations for the attack. This matter had nothing to do with him, Zhao Ji, as long as he set off with him when the time came.
Just in time, Zhao Ji remembered that the last time he was in the police station, Lao Duomu still gave him an opportunity to teach martial arts skills. During the meal, Zhao Ji huddled beside Lao Duomu and told him about it.
"Hey, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. There are a lot of things to do today, let's practice after dinner, get it done early, and finish things early." Lao Duomu ate his meal with a wooden spoon in one hand and dry biscuits in the other, and answered Ji you.
In addition to the normal staple food of bread, people here also have a dry biscuit that is simply baked directly with coarsely ground wheat flour. This kind of cake cannot be eaten alone, as it is dry and rough, it must be eaten with salty sauce or thick soup.
Zhao Ji didn't like this kind of food very much, and the rough taste made him quite disgusted, so he simply didn't eat this kind of food, and directly poured the traditional root soup into his stomach.
Arriving at the training place ahead of time and waiting for Lao Duomu, Zhao Ji patted his stomach first and started warm-up activities.
After a while, old Domo came out. He snatched up a long stick from the shelf, flung it to Keel who was waiting for him, and picked up another for himself.
"When I was young, most of my skills were devoted to this pole weapon. Practice with me, and you can learn as much as you can. Come on, let's start!" After finishing speaking, seeing that the Kiel warrior was ready to learn, Old Duomu directly put out the fighting posture of the long stick.
Old Duomu held both hands in the middle of the stick, and Zhao Ji immediately changed his habit of holding the stick, imitating the postures of Old Duomu.
From the front and rear placement of the feet, to the front and rear bending angles and radians of the body, from the different holding positions of the hands on the long stick in each posture, to the walking rules of the feet when attacking and defending.
Different from Zhao Jina's long spear stabbing skills that he had figured out from the battle, what Lao Duo Mu showed Zhao Ji was a method of using a long pole weapon with both offense and defense. After mastering this method, you will have the basic pole weapon combat skills.
Attack, defend, dodge, parry, chase. These basic but important skills, the old Domo showed Kiel one by one.
Seeing Keir imitating the movements he showed in a decent manner, although some of the movements are not standard, at least Kiel has understood the essential key points of those movements.
It was infuriating to see how quickly Keir had mastered what he had taught the Militia and the Sentinels for years, and how many of the Militia and Sentinels were still unable to perform a set of moves. This made Lao Duomu wonder if the people in his village had problems with learning.
How come the Kiel warriors have demonstrated it several times, and they can make it look like it, but why can't the villagers learn it?
With this question in mind, Old Domo stopped Kiel's practice and spoke out his question.
"Well, this matter, I think, has little to do with the person itself. There should be two main reasons. The first is that I have learned the combat skills of other weapons before. The combat skills of these weapons are actually different in principle. Roughly the same, only the specific use of weapons is a little different. The second point is that I like these things, and the villagers may prefer some interesting things to the skills of weapons. For example, singing?"
Zhao Ji scratched his head and expressed his opinion directly.
Hearing Keir's answer, Old Domo guessed that both were right.
Firstly, the villagers have mastered the weapon skills he taught from scratch, and secondly, there is no place for them to learn these combat skills, so they should not be very interested in learning these things.
The old Domo, who wanted to understand, patted Kiel on the shoulder, said goodbye and left here. He wanted to find the chef to make preparations for making a lot of bread, and then he would take some people to the big granary in the village to find Julian. Ask for the finely ground wheat flour he promised.
Zhao Ji has been practicing the long stick skills taught by Old Duomu in the training space of the public security station. It is said to be a long stick technique, but this technique can actually be extended to all long stick weapons. Any spear, spear, long-handled axe, long-handled battle-axe, dragon gun and other weapons can be easily used one or two.
Of course, specific weapon systems have their own special methods of use, which Zhao Ji heard from people when he was fooling around in the artisan area.
As for whether this is the case, it depends on Zhao Ji's own experience.
While practicing, Zhao Ji watched as Lao Duomu commanded the sentries to come in and out. He went out in one go, and everyone came back with a small bag of wheat flour.
At this moment, the cook at the public security station was flexing his muscles, directing the sentries to carry the wood for the fire, and to get water from the best water in the village.
Then the chef directly cleaned a wooden table where he usually eats, poured finely ground wheat flour, mixed it with clear river water, and mixed the dough.
Each piece of dough was bigger than a human head, and it was alright at first, but after a while, the chef couldn't keep up, so he had to command the most powerful stone mill sentry among the sentries to knead the dough instead of him.
Many sentinels had never seen such a big scene of making bread, and they all gathered around the eating place watching the clumsy kneading of the stone mill.
They had been notified by Old Domo when they had dinner in the morning, and they would go to the southern forest together to drive out the goblin settlement that had lost power. The Sentinels had nothing to say about this. The many wins of the Kiel Warriors made them full of self-confidence and the confidence to win. In particular, the Kiel warriors also set off together, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
After practicing for a while, Zhao Ji stopped to rest, opened the small book he had always carried with him, and used sharpened charcoal to preserve all the things of old Professor Duo Mu in words and simple pictures in the small book.
This is to prevent forgetting. Zhao Ji recorded what he has learned and what he will use later in this small book. When he was in Kendall City, he only used some scattered papers to record things at first. Later, in order to prevent the loss of individual papers, he made some regular papers together with glue and twine to record his thoughts safely and neatly. important stuff.
Of course, he still relies on his brain to remember some really important and fatal things, such as the location of the ruins and the place where he buried a large number of silver plates.
After leaving the security station, Zhao Ji went back to the hotel, and went to the blacksmith's shop with weapons and armor in his arms.
The blacksmith shop was in full swing at this time, and Bodell blacksmith was turning on the fiery fire to heat and quench the iron gun head that had been idle before.
When Zhao Ji saw it, he knew that the blacksmith Bodell had been notified by the village, and he was busy now.
Knowing that his working hours are very tight, Zhao Ji explained to Bodell Blacksmith as soon as he came in that he would not need to be busy with the maintenance of weapons and armor this time. Zhao Ji had already understood how to do it two or three times before, and he was alone. You can rely on the tools in the blacksmith's shop to complete the maintenance of weapons and armor.
"I'm so sorry, you get the Kiel Warrior first, and I'll come over to help you after I finish handling the batch of gun heads in my hand. Also, I have already made the weapons I told you earlier. Now, you can try it later, and see where there is any inconvenience, so that the weapons left by your ancestors can come in handy when expelling the goblins later." Talking non-stop, Bo Blacksmith Del's work never stopped.
Amidst the sound of hammering nails, the rusty iron gun heads reappeared sharply, and the rust on the surface fell off one after another, exposing the tough iron material.
When the whole iron gun head was heated and glowing, Bodell blacksmith picked it up with iron tongs and threw it into a stone trough next to the stove.
Zi...
The water mist rose from the stone troughs and spread all the way to the slate roofs of the houses.
Look at the smooth and standard movements of the Bodell blacksmith. Zhao Ji also started the maintenance of weapons and armor.
The maintenance is actually very simple. It is to remove some flesh and blood remaining in the gaps and some rusty places. The blade of the weapon also needs to be polished with a whetstone, and finally a layer of grease is applied to isolate the water vapor in the air from the sharpened surface. The rust effect of the cutting edge.
His armor was hit on his left shoulder by a flying stone from a goblin before. At this time, the wound on his own left shoulder was healed by Nia Shepherd yesterday afternoon, and the dent on the armor has not yet deal with.
People are better at repairing than equipment, right?
Hey.
Zhao Ji used a small wooden hammer to beat the hardened cowhide neatly from the inside of the shoulder armor. After pounding for a while, he finally got rid of this small dent.
While knocking, Zhao Ji thought that when he returned to Kendall City, he must find a way to build a suit of iron armor. The defense of the leather armor was still a bit lacking. It was fine against a goblin who didn't even have a single piece of metal. When facing a human enemy with a weapon, this hard leather armor wouldn't give him an absolute advantage.
This is his only life, so the armor must be the best.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji asked the blacksmith Bodell how much the armor would cost.
"Iron armor? A whole body of iron armor? That's not cheap, and I heard that no one in our county has that craftsmanship. You have no chance to make it."
Zhao Ji looked depressed: "Then how much does it cost to buy it? Have you heard of it? Buy it in other cities." He couldn't build it, but he could buy it. Zhao Ji remembered that he had the affiliation of the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, Come on, Old President Foxtail and Jamura, it can definitely be done, their relationship is very broad.
The blacksmith Bodell saw that the Kiel warrior was not giving up, so he gestured a number with his free hand: "Look! I heard this number from my master when I was an apprentice. There are many highly skilled people in the provincial capital. Master craftsman, if you want to buy a set of iron armor, at least this amount, not to mention the steel armor and precision forged armor above. And if you want to customize it, the price will have to go up. "
His hand first made a gesture of three, then he made a fist and shook again.
Zhao Ji understood that it meant thirty gold coins.
Good guy, a fine steel sword only costs one gold coin, and an iron armor costs thirty gold coins, which is too exaggerated.
Why? It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration. If it is only calculated by weight, the price is not an exaggeration compared to the weight of the iron armor and the steel sword. After all, elongated weapons are much less difficult to craft than armors of various shapes.
However, the price of these forged metals is still very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have enough metals to use. Is this because the iron ore output of the kingdom where he is now is small? Or because of transportation, the longer the transportation, the more expensive the transportation item is.
It is estimated that in some places where iron ore is produced, the price of metal there can be much lower. It is really a loss to make metal armor in Kendall County. The price of metal must be mostly earned by various chambers of commerce.
So that's the case, no wonder the chamber of commerce of the old fox tail is so rich, it turns out that all the chambers of commerce have made money in these places.
Compared with this, his hard work hunting all kinds of monsters is really an inefficient means of making money.
Shaking his head, it's not just that he's doing this business because he wants to make money, and now is not the time to think about it. Besides, he got so much silver from the elven ruins, if he can find a way to cash out a small amount of that silver later, he won't be short of money by then.
Even in this world, there will be no shortage of money for a lifetime.
Zhao Ji stopped inquiring about the purchase of the armor, and the blacksmith Bodell stopped talking, and both of them were concentrating on what they were doing.
After a while, Zhao Ji finished the armor, put all its parts into boxes, found a place to sit, and waited for Bodell blacksmith to finish his work.
Zi...
The last iron spear heads of this batch have also been quenched. Bodell blacksmith fished out the iron spear heads from the stone trough one by one, a total of five. After wiping off the water, he simply greased these spear heads , put it away.
"Don't you install the gun barrel? Or cut the blade of the gun head?" Zhao Ji asked casually.
Shaking his hand, Blacksmith Bodell explained: "The gun barrel hasn't come yet. The elders in the village took people to the small lumberyard in the north of the village to find wood. They won't be back until the afternoon. Then it's time to load the gun head. , In the morning and at noon, I have to quickly dispose of all the gun heads."
"As for sharpening the gun head, it has to be done after connecting the gun head and the gun barrel. If you sharpen the edge of the gun head early, you will hurt yourself when you install the gun barrel."
Zhao Ji nodded, but he was wrong. The production of spears is in order. If the order is messed up, it will affect the efficiency of production.
Bodell blacksmith put the finished iron gun head into the house, and then walked out with a mighty-looking ax in his arms.
When Zhao Ji saw it, he immediately stood up~www.mtlnovel.com~ stretched out his hands, and solemnly took the weapon handed to him by Bodell blacksmith.
"This weapon is yours, Warrior Kiel. I hope you can use it to slay monsters and eliminate demons, and protect us people who need your protection." Blacksmith Bodell said solemnly to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji nodded, and replied solemnly: "I will, I promise you."
Bodell blacksmith did not let go, he continued: "I hope it will not kill us humans, can you agree?"
Zhao Ji thought for a moment: "Is it okay to be a robber? Those robbers who kill innocent people should be able to kill them too, right? I remember you told me that your ancestors used it to protect their families all the way from the empire when they migrated. Don't use it to satiate those robbers who bully the weak, burn, kill and loot?"
Hearing this, Blacksmith Bodell smiled wryly: "Then exclude robbers from human beings, and robbers are not considered human beings."
"Okay! Then I promise you." Zhao Ji promised loudly.
Bodell blacksmith let go of his grip on the wooden handle of the axe, and took a last look at the weapon passed down from his ancestors: "Now, it is yours."
Zhao Ji clenched the wooden handle of the ax with both hands, and he felt a heavy feeling.
"Does it have a name? The warrior of your ancestors should have given it a name. Do you know?" Zhao Ji held the upper part of the handle with one hand, and stroked the blue metal ax face with the other hand.
Ice is cold, and it feels completely different from other common metals.
"Overwater head!"
Blacksmith Bodell said softly.
Zhao Jineng, who was holding the axe, could feel the ax vibrate when Blacksmith Bodell said the name of the axe.
Was it a shock?
perhaps?
