Raising the machete in his hand, Knight Crowe swung it concisely.
The machete of contestant No. 7 pierced the air with a whoosh and hit the cavalry shield. A series of rubbing sounds came from the blade of the machete and the armor of the shield.
After waving the knife to close it, Knight Crowe watched the result of his previous knife.
A string of armor plates on the cavalry shield were bent and damaged by a clear knife mark. It may be that the area of contact between the machete and the shield is too small or the contact time is too short, the special effect of No. 7 player's machete has not been clearly displayed. The expected scene where the pieces of armor on the shield might be knocked away did not appear, which made some viewers feel rather regretful.
Knight Crowe thinks this machete is already very powerful. After all, the cavalry shield is a special armor against various assault and collision weapons. Its strength exceeds ordinary people's expectations. This kind of destruction is already very good. If it wasn't for him who used the weapon, it wouldn't be easy for others to leave a mark on the armor on the surface of the cavalry shield.
Church workers painted a seven with red paint on the broken part of the shield.
Immediately afterwards, Knight Crowe chose the machete work of contestant No. 12.
The weight and destructive power of this machete, which surpassed other machetes, made Crow Knight very curious. Although Knight Crowe himself was not the type to use heavy equipment, he felt that the weight of this machete might be very suitable for him.
The iron scabbard forged by contestant No. 12 was completely ignored by Knight Crowe because it was too simple and unconventional. He just grabbed the machete, weighed it in his hand, and then swung it vigorously into the air.
boom! Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
There was a loud explosion sound from the place where Knight Crowe slashed through the air, and then a suction force came from the place where the sound came from. Those with sharp eyes could see something vaguely flying over the place where Knight Crowe swung and slashed just now, and it flew farther and farther upwards.
Because Zhao Ji was very close, and had been observing all kinds of weapon-using movements of Crow Knight intently, he could see clearly. Claw Knight seemed to shoot something that disturbed the air from the place where the machete was cut. But this thing is different from the energy ball in the farm cow pen before, it is completely transparent, only when it distorts the air and changes the image of the object, Zhao Ji can see the existence of that thing.
This must be an undisclosed secret in other people's martial arts. Of course, Zhao Ji was just curious.
After swinging the machete in vain, Knight Crowe seemed very satisfied with the machete. He came in front of the iron pillar, and without accumulating energy, he directly slashed across the solid cast iron pillar.
boom! With a loud sound, the entire machete was embedded in the iron pillar, and the entire iron pillar vibrated continuously under this blow. Everyone saw that this knife cut at least half of the entire machete into the iron pillar.
Only after Knight Crowe reached out to pull it out did the staff of the church dare to step forward to stabilize the iron pillar, stop it from vibrating, and then painted the red characters of twelve on it.
It's just that the blade of the machete of contestant No. 12 has blunted a lot from Knight Crowe's knife just now, which made Knight Crowe dissatisfied.
Then, Knight Crowe slashed at the fixed cavalry shield in the same way. The difference was that he only used the front half of the machete for this cut.
Fierce sparks and sparks erupted from where the shields collided, and everyone could understand what kind of collision happened between the two just by looking at them.
After the sparks and sparks had splattered, everyone realized that the violent collision and friction just now had only left a shallow scratch on the shield.
This result was not what Crow Knight expected, but it greatly exceeded the expectations of the audience and contestant No. 12. Contestant No. 12, who was originally quite proud, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and put down the smile that had been hanging on his face.
Knight Crowe touched the blade of the machete with his fingers, feeling a little pity. The weight of this machete was quite to his liking, but the hardness of the blade was not so good, and the metal inside the blade was not tough enough. It is a pity that this knife cannot maintain its integrity in the fierce collision.
After testing the two machetes, everyone has a certain understanding of the sturdiness of the cavalry shield fixed on the stone platform. Sure enough, compared with the real equipment, these works that performed well just now were all discouraged and did not meet the expectations of the audience.
Crow Knight then randomly chose the machete work of No. 8 contestant. Still the same as before, Knight Crowe stretched out his hand to grab falsely, and the machete of the eighth contestant flew directly over. Grabbing the machete with one hand, Knight Crowe pulled out the machete directly.
Sure enough, just like what he had seen on the jury's wooden platform before, the blade of this machete was already full of small curls and wear. Fumbling with his hands on the edge of the machete, Knight Crowe even had the feeling that he was holding a hand saw.
Although he didn't expect much from the machete, Knight Crowe took it to the iron pillar.
The knight felt that it was a question of whether the machete in this state could survive the next two cuts. After all, his simple cut greatly exceeded the physical limit of ordinary human beings.
As long as he wanted, the iron rod could be broken and rounded with bare hands.
Shaking his head, Knight Crowe swung his machete at the iron pillar.
boom! Bang Bang! The machete broke into many pieces directly after hitting the iron pillar.
Knight Crowe was also surprised. After all, according to his prediction, even if the machete broke, it should be broken into two pieces. How did it break into so many pieces?
Taking the remaining handle of the knife in his hand and the small half of the machete blade to his eyes for careful observation, Knight Crowe finally found out. It turned out that there were tiny cracks inside the machete blade. However, unlike ordinary cracks, these cracks are not on the surface of the blade of the machete, they are hidden inside the blade. Knight Crowe pinched the cracks with his fingers and found that the cracks were still fastened, so there was no discovery or clue in all the previous tests.
However, these cracks still existed after all, and after many tests, they were finally exposed in front of the knight's giant strength and the iron pillar.
Knight Crowe handed half of the machete in his hand to the host, and asked him to give it to a forging professional like Bordeaux shepherd to have a look.
After receiving the broken machete from the host, the Bordeaux shepherd carefully observed the cracks inside the blade with a magnifying glass, and Mr. Grimm also leaned over to have a look.
After all, if you don't directly point out such invisible forging hidden dangers, the No. 8 player might not be able to discover the reason until next year's turn.
After Knight Crowe handed over the broken knife, he went on to test the next machete work. The audience all liked the situation where the weapon was broken just now. Every time a machete was broken, they would cheer happily for a while, and of course, some people would utter curses. The reason why they are like this is also very simple. Outside the crowd of the competition venue, someone has already opened a bet on this competition. The gambling table is not big, and each person is just a few copper coins. The bet is also very simple, that is, the machete can test all the processes and keep dropping.
The odds are low for consistently good titles, but the odds are high for some titles with obvious risks. After the No. 8 player's work was cut off, the next No. 5 player's work is the one with the highest odds.
Because there are not many people betting, and the gambling capital is also very small. The Church of the God of Craftsman did not drive away these small opening dealers who never lost money, and let them find an empty table on the periphery of the competition venue. After all, this gambling table similar to a lottery can also slightly enliven some adult men watching the game, making them scream harder, cheer harder, and applaud more while watching the game.
The breaking of the last machete didn't affect Crow Knight much. After all, it is difficult for such a time-intensive forging competition to produce any excellent weapons. Really practical weapons are repeatedly forged and carefully crafted. Or rely on animal power to drive reforging machines in big cities to forge equipment.
This time, Knight Crowe chose a machete at will. The work that came back to him this time was a blue scabbard with a blue handle, and it was a new machete that was exquisitely made.
Knight Crowe stroked the sea fish skin on the scabbard with his fingers, and the feeling from his sensitive instinct let him know that this sea fish must be a very dangerous sea beast. It's just a pity that Knight Crowe has never been to the seaside in his life. He has seen the sea, so he doesn't know what this sea fish looks like.
Looking up at the confident No. 3 player on the player's seat not far away, Knight Crowe pulled out the machete.
Bright blade, strong grid, smooth curve. I touched the almost undamaged blade, and it still had a sharp edge.
After the same intense forging time and numerous tests, the degree of completion of this machete surpassed all other machete works by more than a notch. Knight Crowe looked at player No. 3 again. He had actually seen this person before. He had participated in competitions several times in the past few years, but he had never won a championship. Every time he came with confidence, and then made major mistakes in various places that shouldn't be, it made it difficult for Crow Knight to describe this craftsman.
Let's say that this craftsman has no skills. They can further improve their forging skills every year. As far as what he has, Knight Crowe should be most impressed by the pride and arrogance of this craftsman. Mistakes that can obviously be avoided by observing other people, this craftsman insists on not absorbing experience and technology from others, and always forging his own part dully. And apart from being able to speak a few words with the Bordeaux shepherd, he rarely communicates with other craftsmen. Knight Crowe could see the arrogance in him even with his eyes closed.
But what did this man's arrogance have to do with him, Crowe.
Only now did Knight Crowe realize that the craftsman who had been forging his own part alone, after many years of failures, was finally able to forge such an outstanding work today.
Hey, Knight Crowe shook his head. If this person hadn't been so arrogant, wouldn't he have reached this point long ago.
Pulling out the knife and coming to the iron pillar, Knight Crowe directly slashed at the iron pillar without any extra movement.
boom! Clang~~puff.
Um?
This knife? Knight Crowe finally realized that this knife actually cut off the entire iron pillar with thick arms?
Wow, there was a burst of exclamation like a tide, and the audience also reacted, and their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at a section of iron that fell to the ground.
Contestant No. 3's machete directly chopped off the upper section of the iron pillar, and the broken section fell to the ground and hit the ground heavily. The section of the iron pillar is quite neat, with only some unstable knife marks on the last part.
Contestant No. 3 grinned even more excitedly at this moment, as if crying, but his eyes were still full of tears. In order not to let the tears fall, contestant No. 3 raised his head proudly!
Knight Crowe held the machete in front of his eyes and observed the blade carefully. There were no traces of collision left on the blade, and there was still a slight curling of the blade. Rubbing the blade with his fingertips, Knight Crowe found that the blade of this machete was perfectly forged and polished, and the thickness of each part of the blade was well proportioned.
He squeezed the blade again with his fingers to test its hardness. Sure enough, the hardness also surpassed the several machetes tested before by a lot. Not to mention the iron pillars that were chopped off.
In short, it is an excellent work, and it should be able to achieve the effect just now. But can it handle his cavalry shield?
Knight Crowe was a little curious.
Doing what he thought, Knight Crowe came to the cavalry shield fixed on the stone platform in two steps. He wanted to let his old buddy test this excellent weapon that exceeded his expectations.
Seeing Knight Crowe's next move, everyone's eyes widened this time, UU reading www. uukanshu.com carefully watched all the details on the field. Everyone wants to see how strong this excellent work can be. After all, the previous machetes failed to reap the benefits here.
Knight Crowe took a deep breath, and swung his right hand slowly and quickly.
At the moment when the machete collided with the shield, there were no sparks or loud noises that everyone expected, but only five sharp and short cutting sounds.
exhausted! exhausted! exhausted! exhausted! exhausted!
Moments later, everyone stared at the cavalry shield.
A series of five armor plates on the cavalry shield were neatly and deeply incised. The lower half of the five armor pieces all fell on the stone platform. Such an excellent result directly made everyone on the scene cheer after seeing it clearly.
Contestant No. 3 excitedly waved his right hand towards the audience in order to ease his excitement. With such an excellent result, it was obvious that he was about to win this year's weapon forging competition.
Knight Crowe stroked the slightly more thin curled blade on the machete, and also laughed. Although this craftsman has many problems, his forging technology is the best he has met in recent years, not to mention how much potential he has. After all, this craftsman is only about 30 years old, and he still has at least 30 years of room for growth.
If it can be maintained like this, there will definitely be a master weapon forging in Kendall City in the future.
After thinking about it, Knight Crowe handed the machete to the host, asking him to give the machete to the Bordeaux shepherd and Mr. Grimm for evaluation and inspection. The staff of the church was finally able to come over. He excitedly drew a big three character on the section of the iron pillar, and then went to the shield, and also drew a big three on the edge of a series of five deep fractures. of three characters.
