Chapter 6 The inheritance of the sword
Dark iron is different from ordinary fine steel. It is extremely hard and heavy. Especially the old black iron is even more precious. Although this piece of black iron is not very old, it is much stronger than fine steel. It weighs nearly a hundred kilograms in total, and
The weight of the sledgehammer Guo Fei usually wielded was about the same. The old man did not divide the black iron into pieces, but forged it all into a sword.
According to the procedure, it is calcined at high temperature, hammered with a big hammer, shaped, and finely carved with a small hammer.
For three days and three nights, the two of them took turns forging without taking a break. Finally, it took shape. The sword was four feet three inches long, about fifteen centimeters wide, and about five centimeters thick. It was much thicker than ordinary swords. The tip of the sword was slightly spiked.
Shape, almost no sharp edge. The sword grid is an oval disk with threads on it for easy gripping.
"Guo Fei's sword is an ancient holy product. It is the most noble and noble, revered by both humans and gods. It is the ancestor of short-sighted soldiers, a weapon for close combat, and is known for its profound Taoist skills. Time is tight, and you have only forged this sword.
The prototype needs to be forged frequently in the future. If you encounter better materials, you can add it to it. But remember, the inheritance of the sword cannot be lost!" The old man finished casting the sword and said to Guo Fei.
"The inheritance of the sword?" Guo Fei was surprised.
"The weapon has a spirit, and the weapon has a way. If you live with it day and night, nourish the sword with its energy, and after years of sacrifice, the sword will be connected with the owner's mind, thus inspiring the guardian sword intention and becoming the sword of mind. Only when the sword has inheritance can it be able to follow the sword.
As the master's cultivation improves, it continues to evolve and becomes a magical weapon. Some warriors improve their cultivation and change weapons if they are not in their hands. This is an inferior choice, and it is impossible to reach the peak of the weapon in the end. Weapons must be crafted if they are not in their hands.
Sacrifice and refinement to make it evolve is the best choice."
"Kid, remember this!" Although Guo Fei didn't understand, he kept it firmly in his heart.
"In addition, the set of breathing techniques and the set of swordsmanship that I taught you must not be easily passed on to others! Money is easy to get, but skills are hard to find! Remember," the old man reminded.
"I remembered it!" Guo Fei nodded.
Later, Guo Fei started refining it himself and made a sheath for the sword out of fine iron sheet, which was covered with linen cloth so that it could be tied to his back.
"Old Shi!" Early that morning, I heard an angry cry outside. A big man hurriedly walked into the blacksmith shop.
"Captain. There is no Old Ten here, who are you looking for?" Guo Fei saw the big man, who was the man he fought with that night. He felt happy, but there was no trace on the surface. The "soul crystal" he sent had results.
"Of course I'm calling you. I told the battalion commander that you don't need to be a slave anymore. You can join our team and become a swordsman. The fifth man has also left. We are short of manpower!" The big man said with a slightly sad expression on his face.
"What are the benefits of joining your team?" Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
The big man was startled and said: "Why do you think you want to be a slave soldier all your life? Won't it be fun to follow me, eat meat in big mouths, drink wine in big bowls, and share the blessings and hardships? Be happy and don't grind.
What a grinder. In one sentence, do it or not! If you don’t do it, you will be punished according to military law."
"Don't hesitate, I'm fine. Don't worry!" The old man walked out of the stone house and smiled at Guo Fei.
"Uncle Wen!" Guo Fei's eyes turned red. It was the old man who helped him survive when he was helpless. In Guo Fei's heart, he was his dearest person in the world.
"Go! Child, stay strong and live!" The old man patted Guo Fei, turned around and walked in.
"Pfft!" Guo Fei knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times, picked up his black iron sword, and nodded towards the big man.
"You are a good boy. You are a person who values affection and righteousness. I like him! Haha." The big man gave a rough smile and left with Guo Fei.
On the way, Guo Fei knew that this man's name was Jin Datong, and he was the captain of the first team, the first squadron, and the second team. He was a tall man with a beard all over his face. His courage was extraordinary, he had the cultivation of an intermediate warrior, and he looked bold at first glance.
people.
"Although you are not a slave, you were rescued by the princess, and we will supervise your whereabouts. I heard from Jin Datong that you have good cultivation, so do your best. If you can kill ten ghost guards, or hand over a hundred soul crystals,
, you will be free." Jin Datong took Guo Fei to see the battalion commander Wang Zhi, who said coldly.
"Thank you, battalion commander!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold. There was clearly an ambiguity in his words. Since he was not a slave, why did he have to hand over the soul crystal if he wanted to be free? As for killing ten ghost guards, don't even think about it. He came that night.
He is just a ghost guard, and even the battalion commander himself is no match. Guo Fei is simply sending himself to death if he goes there. But he cannot refute at this time, he can only swallow his anger and nod in agreement.
"Old Shi. Don't be angry. The world is like this. Cultivation is capital, and low-level people will always be bullied. ***, you made a good promise when you deceived me into joining the army. You will be paid 50,000 gold coins a year and serve for three years.
You can leave, but now you are asking me to pay a hundred soul crystals to get the reward and allow you to leave. Isn’t this bullying! But there is no way, this world is like this. Listen to the big brother and work hard, it’s not just a hundred
Soul crystals, just fifty skeleton soldiers. When we save enough, we will go to my hometown in Weiguo together, get a title, and work as a small lord." Although Jin Datong looks rough on the surface, his thoughts are still very delicate. Suddenly,
He accurately sensed Guo Fei's mood at this time and offered words of comfort.
The two returned to the barracks where the team was located. It was a ten-man barracks at the front of a row of barracks. After Guo Fei arrived here, he found no other people. Maybe the others had gone out.
Jin Datong went out and got Guo Fei a set of equipment, a set of thin cotton coats, a white animal skin armor and a white hat. These are the winter clothing of ordinary infantrymen.
Only then did Guo Fei take off his worn-out, coarse linen clothes that had gone rancid a long time ago and threw them away.
For the first time in this world, I put on new cotton clothes, and my unhappy mood gradually calmed down.
"I still lack experience! I can't keep my temper, and my emotions and anger show on my face." Guo Fei sat on the wooden bed in the barracks, thinking about the scene when he saw the battalion commander. When his face changed, the battalion commander's eyes gleamed clearly.
There was a glimmer of coldness.
According to Jin Datong, battalion commander Wang Zhi also came from a poor background and reached this position through his own efforts. The next step may be to grant him the rank of captain and become an officer with military status in the kingdom.
From Jin Datong’s words, we know that officers who are awarded military ranks can go to the royal city for training and choose to practice exercises as a reward. This is not only a great honor, but also the only way for most people to become monks. Jin Datong is extremely fond of the battalion commander.
Admiration, for him, being an active military officer is the foundation for getting ahead and rising to the top.
Guo Fei recalled the face of the battalion commander. He was of medium build and looked to be in his thirties. He could not feel any warmth in his body and was as cold as a piece of black ice that would never thaw.
"This person is a ruthless and unrighteous person. Be careful!" Guo Fei felt from his eyes that this person is not a person who values love and righteousness, and must be ruthless.
At noon, the other eight people came back. Jin Datong called everyone to gather around and introduce to everyone: "Brothers, this is Lao Ten. From now on, we will be brothers fighting side by side and relying on each other. Lao Wu has gone, and I am just like everyone else."
It's very heartbreaking. The ten-man offensive and defensive formation that we rely on for survival cannot be missing one person. This is our unique strategy to save our lives. That night, we all saw the ten-man offensive and defensive formation that was suitable for us. I gave six soul crystals to the battalion commander.
, he agreed to let Lao Shi join the team. From now on, according to the old rules, our team will not have names, only brothers will be ranked. We will practice the formation in the afternoon, and the battle is expected to start soon."
Only then did Guo Fei realize that he had to come by himself to complete the formation. Jin Datong also spent six soul crystals. It was exactly the amount he gave them. From the words, Jin Datong didn't seem to be lying.
You can make friends with this person. Guo Fei has also seen their military formations, and he is indeed outstanding in the chaos of chaos.
