Chapter 39 Crossbow! Looking for a buyer!
"I want to ask the owner of the manor." Manager Liu went to ask the owner of the manor Mo Tie.
Not long after, Director Liu returned, and he said to Su Changkong: "The owner of the manor agrees, but you must pay attention to safety!"
"Well, thank you!" Su Changkong's eyes lit up.
Being able to use the forging equipment in the workshop, Su Changkong can start making a crossbow!
Every day during the day, Su Changkong builds weapons as usual. When it is the evening when the work is over, everyone rests, while Su Changkong stays alone in the workshop to create the parts needed for crossbows.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
In the evening, Su Changkong held a small hammer and forged the metal plate in front of him. The part was very exquisite and the technical content was higher. Su Changkong's forging reached 5th level, and it was difficult for anyone to escape the entire Hei Iron Villa!
Su Changkong worked overtime, worked hard and studied hard. It took twenty days to finally create the first crossbow!
Su Changkong looked at the finished product in front of him and his eyes were excited.
A black leather strip is wrapped around the bow stem, which increases stability and enhances structural density. The crossbow arm is about one meter long, and the whole is like a cross.
“Try the finished product!”
Su Changkong tried the power of the crossbow he had created himself.
In a forest outside the Hei Iron Villa, Su Changkong pulled the crossbow strings, tilted the strings, filled a crafted arrow, aimed at a tree several feet away, and then pulled the trigger.
"Peng!"
The bowstring rebounded and made a muffled sound of "blow". Accompanied by the sound of mechanical cladding, the arrow lost and was pushed by a powerful kinetic energy and flew out of the air!
"laugh!"
The arrow hits the tree, the arrow penetrates two or three inches into the tree, the arrow feathers tremble, and it is powerful!
Su Changkong experimented many times and finally came to the conclusion.
"The crossbow I created is of no less powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, and its effective range is about seventy to one hundred meters!"
Su Changkong nodded secretly.
Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows can fill arrows with slower speed and more troublesome speed, but its advantage is that they are easy to use and high accuracy. They do not need to study archery. Ordinary people can use it after two or three days of training. The upper limit becomes lower, but the lower limit also becomes lower!
Unlike bows and arrows, experienced archers have to practice bows and arrows for at least a few years. This makes the two different levels, and the Great Yan Dynasty bans crossbows and can't help but bow!
Su Changkong believed that with some good materials and more sophisticated forging techniques, he could make the power of the crossbow more than a hundred meters effective range, but Su Changkong did not do so.
The crossbow he created was sold for money, and there was no need to be built so well or so advanced. On the contrary, he created such a high-quality crossbow that would attract more attention!
So that's enough.
"Just build in batches according to the quality of this crossbow." Su Changkong said secretly.
Creating the first crossbow, with experience, Su Changkong built it faster, and the second crossbow took him only ten days.
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed in a flash.
"I made three crossbows and sold them first."
During this period, Su Changkong had built a total of three crossbows, and he thought to himself.
Crossbows are highly technically constructed and are easier to use than bows and arrows. However, because of the ban of the Great Yan Dynasty, privately hiding armored crossbows is a serious crime, so it is impossible to sell these crossbows and take a formal approach. If one is not good, it will attract the attention of those who are interested, causing fire to get on the body, and finding a buyer is a difficult problem.
Su Changkong has used up his Yiqi Powder in the past month and needs money to buy more medicinal materials!
"You can go and ask Yan Song."
A person appeared in Su Changkong's mind.
Yan Song is a knife-catching man and has been struggling in the world for many years. He should know where to sell some shameful things.
Su Changkong then set off and went to Caisan Town, where Yan Song lived.
What made Su Changkong breathe a little relieved was that Yan Song still lived in Caisan Town, otherwise Su Changkong would have to lose his mind.
Not long after Su Changkong knocked on the door, the door opened slightly, revealing Yan Song's face. Seeing Yan Song's appearance, he felt a little sweat on his forehead. He must be practicing martial arts.
"Brother Wentai?"
Yan Song was stunned when he saw Su Changkong appearing at the door. He didn't expect Su Changkong to come to find him again so soon, but he reacted and invited him, "Come in and sit down first."
Su Changkong entered the courtyard as he said, and Yan Song poured Su Changkong a cup of tea.
Su Changkong said straight to the point: "Brother Yan, I'm here to find you because I want you to find out some news."
"You know everything and say it! Brother Wen just ask!" Yan Song said very readily.
After pondering for a moment, Su Changkong said, "I want to sell something that is not easy to sell..."
Su Changkong did not say what he wanted to sell, but Yan Song immediately showed a knowing smile on his face: "Indeed, sometimes some things he obtained are not easy to sell on the market."
Yan Song also often killed some thieves and obtained many stolen goods that were difficult to take. He thought Su Changkong should be the same.
"Brother Yan knows there is a way to sell these things?" Su Changkong felt a little moved when he saw this.
Yan Song nodded: "No, do you know the ghost market?"
"Ghost Market?" Su Changkong was puzzled.
Yan Song explained: "Ghost Market, there are everything in this place, and everything can be sold... You can understand it as a black market, and there are ghost markets in almost every area."
"I see!"
Su Changkong knew in his heart that this so-called ghost market is actually a black market. In the ghost market, some prohibited things are bought. Of course, if the transaction is not guaranteed, you may be deceived, or even be targeted by someone who is interested, losing your life!
"Go to this ghost market, the crossbow I built should be able to sell."
Su Changkong secretly said that he was short of money, and this ghost market was equivalent to a black market, and some explicitly prohibited things have the opportunity to sell them!
Su Changkong said to Yan Song: "Brother Yan, I want to go to this ghost market. Can you tell me where the ghost market is?"
"Of course, the nearest ghost market in Qingshui City is located in a barren mountain two hundred miles south of Qingshui City. It opens once every night on the 15th of the month. If you take this token and go to that place on time, someone will pick you up into the ghost market."
Yan Song told Su Changkong Ghost Market very readily and the precautions. At the same time, he turned around and entered the inner room, took out a black token, and handed it to Su Changkong.
The Ghost Market is located in an extremely desolate and barren mountain. If no one introduces it, no one will go there without any trouble. Yan Song also worked in the Qingshui City martial arts world for many years before he introduced it to him to find out where the Ghost Market is located within the Qingshui City area.
"Thank you, Brother Yan!"
Su Changkong thanked him for his gratitude. Many friends did have many ways. From Yan Song, he learned about the location of the ghost market!
Then Su Changkong said goodbye and left, while Yan Song stood up and saw Su Changkong leave.
"Yan Lang...Who was that person just now?"
Not long after Su Changkong left, a gentle woman appeared at the door and said curiously.
"A friend." Yan Song responded casually, with a gentle look on his face, "Jie'er, come in and sit in the house."
