"Thunder? Thunder Knife! What a good name. From now on it will be called Thunder Knife, haha!"
Luo Chen smiled and stroked the blade of the sword, then danced with it again.
Luo Tianyu looked at Luo Chen speechlessly: "Okay, put it away! Don't show off, I'm afraid I can't help but steal it from you later."
Luo Chen chuckled, wiped both sides of the blade with his sleeves, and then sheathed the sword gracefully.
Luo Tianyu looked at Luo Chen's movements, curled his lips, and was speechless for a while.
But he forgot that when he forged the knife, he stroked it like a woman's skin for a whole afternoon.
"Tell me why you came to see me?"
Luo Tianyu withdrew his gaze from the thunder knife and looked at Luo Chen.
"Second uncle, I'm here to discuss the Purple Mist Guard armor with you."
"Armor? Didn't it say that in order to avoid misunderstandings from the court, the Purple Mist Guards will not wear armor for the time being? What? They have to wear armor now?" Luo Tianyu said with a frown.
"It's like this..." Immediately, Luo Chen told Luo Tianyu about the arrival of Zhou Song and Luo Tianhe becoming the Marquis of Ningshui.
"I see!"
Luo Tianyu suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Commonly used armors nowadays include chain armor, iron armor, fish scale armor and bright light armor, etc. What kind of armor do you want to equip the Purple Mist Guard?"
Luo Chen shook his head: "I don't want to use these armors."
"No need? Then what do you want?" Luo Tianyu looked at Luo Chen doubtfully.
"Well, I want this."
Luo Chen came to the desk, picked up a pen, and started drawing on a piece of white paper.
After a while, the general appearance of a pair of armor was drawn.
"Is this armor?"
Luo Tianyu looked at the armor on the paper that he had never seen before, his face full of surprise.
"Yes!"
Luo Chen put down the pen in his hand and said: "This is called plate armor, which consists of a helmet, curved breastplate and back armor, overall leg and arm guards, stab-proof gloves and combat boots.
This kind of armor has fewer parts and is easy to wear. All parts of the body are covered in the armor, and its protective power is very strong."
"And this kind of armor?"
Luo Tianyu looked at the drawings over and over for a while, and then said: "Can't this kind of armor be forged in batches? Everyone's body shape is different. The curved breastplate and back armor are very restrictive to the body shape."
"Yeah! The second uncle is indeed a master of forging. He can see the flaws of this armor at a glance. This armor is very strict about the size and needs to be tailor-made." Luo Chen lost no time in flattering him.
Luo Tianyu ignored Luo Chen's flattery, frowned and said: "Then this will be difficult, it will be very troublesome to forge like this."
Immediately, Luo Tianyu raised his eyebrows: "But fortunately, there are only a hundred pairs, so it doesn't take much effort."
"Uncle, can this armor be forged?" Luo Chen asked.
"Try it! This kind of armor has never been seen before, nor has it been forged. You have to try it."
After Luo Tianyu finished speaking, he looked at Luo Chen's body shape: "Let me forge a set according to your body shape first! Let's see the effect."
Luo Chen nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, uncle."
"Yeah! I'll arrange for someone to forge it right away."
After Luo Tianyu finished speaking, he took the drawings and looked at them and walked out, ignoring Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked at Luo Tianyu's leaving figure and shook his head with a wry smile. His second uncle had a special obsession with forging. When he encountered good materials or new things, he would study them without sleep or food.
After leaving the foundry hall, Luo Chen went to the horse farm south of the villa to learn about the situation of the black cloud horses and black scale horses, and also washed Dujiao's body.
The black-scaled horses in Ziwu Villa basically have owners, but when they are not in use, the black-scaled horses are kept at the horse farm for breeding and breeding of more black-scaled horses.
Luo Chen originally planned to equip the Purple Mist Guard with black cloud horses, but after seeing the situation at the racecourse, Luo Chen gave up this idea.
There are now seventy-seven black cloud horses in the racecourse, of which only forty-nine are mature. There is no way to equip Ziwu Guard with one. We can only use some of them for training first, and wait for more than a year.
It will take two years to have enough black cloud horses to use.
As for the black-scaled horses, there are already twelve, and another one was born this month, and three mares are pregnant.
Yuzhu Pavilion, under the golden bamboo forest.
Luo Chen, who had just returned from the racecourse, was sitting on a chair. There was a small coffee table next to him, with a wine bottle on it. In the luminous cup next to the bottle, purple wine exuded a light fruity aroma.
It was October. Although some leaves of golden bamboo in autumn had turned yellow, most of them were still green. The tall bamboo poles were blown together by the autumn wind, making a sweet sound like wind chimes.
Luo Chen enjoyed the baptism brought by the sound, picked up the luminous cup on the coffee table, shook it, took a sip, closed his eyes and exhaled happily. He opened his eyes and smiled, put down the luminous cup,
Then he picked up a piece of white cloth, pulled out the thunder knife, and wiped it gently.
Since returning from Wuling Pass, Luo Chen has been busy with various things, and it is rare to take half a day off today.
But at this moment, suddenly, a fiery figure broke into Yuzhu Pavilion.
"Haha! You Luo Chen, I am working hard in the back mountain practicing my sword, but you are lazy and drinking here."
"I'm so thirsty, girl!"
Li Yuxi rushed to Luo Chen and without saying a word, picked up the luminous cup on the coffee table and poured it into her mouth.
"Hey! I've drunk this wine before."
Luo Chen had no time to stop him and watched helplessly as Li Yuxi drank the wine in the glass.
Li Yuxi smashed her mouth, burped, and put the luminous cup on the coffee table, with a look of disgust on her face: "Humph! Why does this wine have a strange smell?"
"I didn't let you drink it! Also, be careful, this luminous cup is expensive! Don't you feel bad?"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes at Li Yuxi and continued to clean the knife.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! What a beautiful pattern."
Li Yuxi now noticed the knife in Luo Chen's hand, exclaimed in wonder, and reached out to touch the knife.
Luo Chen avoided Li Yuxi's outstretched hand: "What are you doing? Stay aside!"
Li Yuxi touched the air with one hand, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "I just want to take a look, what's the matter? I can't even look at it?"
After saying that, Li Yuxi asked carelessly: "Luo Chen, is this knife forged from those two pieces of patterned steel?"
"Um!"
Luo Chen wiped the knife without raising his head.
When Li Yuxi heard this, she rolled her eyes, squatted in front of Luo Chen, and said pleasantly: "Luo Chen, when do you think we will go to Wuling Pass again?"
"What are you doing? Why are you going to Wulingguan if you have nothing to do?" Luo Chen asked doubtfully.
"Of course I'm going to sell pattern steel!"
Li Yuxi waved the sword in her hand in front of Luo Chen's eyes: "I have been using this sword for several years, and now that I have reached the middle third-rate level, this sword is no longer enough and needs to be replaced!"
