Hearing that I was going to buy a large shipment of these scrapped bed crossbow bodies, the arms dealer took me out of the black market after a little consideration.I wanted to say hello to Mr.
Billy, but the black market was too big, so I went around to look for him in front of the stalls selling food by the fountain, but I didn't see him.Immediately, the arms merchant took us in a magic caravan to an abandoned manor in the north of the city.At this time, it began to rain in the sky, and the gray clouds peeled away from the clouds and drifted down like mist, and then condensed into raindrops the size of beans in the air and fell overhead.A sudden rain caused the temperature in the air to plummet.The Black Forest of the Hierro Plane has a warm climate with humid air, and it is common to experience continuous rainy days.The sunlight on the plane of Hiero is blocked from the clouds all year round, and the inhabitants here like to build houses out of stones, although the endless Black Forest is outside the city, but the people here rarely build wooden houses, and the temporary dwellings in the forest are built of wood, the main reason is that the wooden houses here are easy to mold, moth-eaten, and in this humid environment, those wooden houses are easy to grow mushrooms.Three hundred bed crossbows with the chassis bracket and wooden wheels removed were neatly arranged in an abandoned manor house in the inner city, covering the entire lawn, each bed crossbow was wrapped in a layer of canvas and felt, and the outside was tightly tied with straw rope to prevent water vapor from penetrating into the entire bed crossbow, if the crossbow body was deformed, it would be difficult for the bed crossbow to ensure the original accuracy.The rain crackled against the canvas and felt that sheltered it, and flowed down the canvas on the lawn, where it pooled into streams that flowed into the lower cisterns of the estate.The arms merchant lifted the hood on his head and let the icy rain fall on his head, he reached out and touched his face fiercely, his brown pupils showed a hint of surprise, and said to me, "You want to buy all these bed crossbows?"
”I nodded.The weapons merchant said, "When the Duke of Samoyed built the defense line of Tanton City, he also hoped that the various sentry posts could pass through these bed crossbows and stop the footsteps of the Nibru spiders. ”Hearing him say this, I finally knew why there were so many discarded bed crossbows here, everything was prepared when the Duke of Samoyed built the defense of Tanton, just like the whole stack of crossbow arrows in the stronghold of Rum, the city was full of bed crossbows, and there were also a lot of ordnance and bed crossbows stored in the belly of the mountain, all because the Duke of Samoyed wanted to build a strong defensive line.The arms merchant continued: "But it turned out that his decision was wrong, and he spent a lot of money on the Hierro plane to make a large number of military bed crossbows and crossbow arrows, but these ordnance did not work at all. ”The arms merchant was right, these bed crossbows did not help the Duke of Samoyed to win the war, mainly because the Duke of Samoyed underestimated the ability of the Spider-Man Warriors to charge on the battlefield, and I have been dealing with the Spider-Man Warriors in the Trum area for almost a month, so I know a little bit about the Spider-Man Warriors, and I know the weaknesses exposed by these bed crossbow stations when fighting.The arms merchant reached out and untied the hemp rope tied to the tarpaulin, exposing the crossbow arm to the rain, which was smeared with animal grease, and the raindrops fell on the crossbow arm and quickly exploded into countless small droplets.None of these bed crossbows were wound, and he said to me, "The Hiero plane is too wet, and the bowstrings made of deer tendons will not be usable when they get wet, so these bowstrings are usually stored in the sealing box, and only installed on the bed crossbow before the battle." ”He raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and then said: "It is undeniable that these bed crossbows have a strong lethality to those spider-man warriors, but the frequency of crossbow arrows on this large equipment is too slow, basically after two rounds of fire, the spider-man warriors will rush to the bottom of the stronghold, because the pitch angle limits the downward adjustment angle, this kind of big guy can not shoot the enemy under the city, those spider-man warriors with excellent climbing skills climbed the city wall and slaughtered the infantry guards on the sentry post." ”The arms merchant finally admonished me: "So, young magician, I must warn you not to put all your hopes on these clumsy bed crossbows, it takes at least thirty breaths to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow with a winch, and its rate of fire is so slow that it will not help you win the war unless you have an absolute superiority in strength." ”Unexpectedly, the purpose of such a weapon dealer who sells second-hand discarded bed crossbows is to make me seriously consider the purchase of bed crossbows, and I am worried that I will run to the battlefield to die recklessly.I smiled at him and stretched out my hand to examine the crossbow on the bed crossbow from which he had taken off the tarpaulin, and sure enough, the bed crossbow had everything but a support frame without a base and pitch angle, and it was very well sealed, and I ripped the canvas off the crossbow to expose it to the rain.The whole bed is covered in grease, and the crossbow arm is tightly wrapped with hemp rope, which is very well maintained and looks completely new.I reached out and stroked the polished smooth and delicate crossbow body, and exclaimed, "What a good crossbow." ”Karantso and Katerina stood beside me and never left, but Justus took out a dagger, stepped into the bed crossbow array, picked a few bed crossbows at random, cut the ropes on the rain canvas above, and then checked the bed crossbows inside, untied the ropes of three bed crossbows in a row, and saw that the bed crossbows inside were all of the same quality.I said to the arms merchant, "My men haven't arrived in Tanton yet, so can these bed crossbows be stored here for a few days?"
”The weapons merchant said cheerfully, "Of course, it doesn't matter how long you want to keep it, this is an abandoned manor. ”Then he suggested to me, "When I use this yard to place these weapons, I will hire some soldiers from the Adventure Group to help me take care of these bed crossbows, and I suggest you hire some mercenary group as well, I know a reputable Adventure Group, and I can introduce them to you if needed." ”I smiled noncommittally, and did not answer his words, nor did the weapon merchant mention it again.Then we braved the rain to count these bed crossbows, but we did not expect that there were nearly 400 bed crossbows placed in the entire abandoned manor, but only 347 of them remained in such good condition, and the remaining 70 or so bed crossbows were some damaged and defective products.We then hid in the manor's storeroom to negotiate the price of the crossbows.A complete bed crossbow will be sold for about thirty magic crystals in the imperial capital, but the bed crossbows I bought don't need a base and wooden wheels.Bed crossbows like these are everywhere in Tanton City, and the ones in front of me are at best slightly better preserved.They picked up the bed crossbows that had been abandoned and damaged in various outposts, and then asked the craftsmen to piece the scraps together and assemble them into some complete bed crossbows, which was a complete bargain, so the arms merchants initially sold them very low.Three hundred and forty-seven bed crossbows were sold to me at the price of five magic crystals each, and these bed crossbows cost me a total of 1,700 magic crystals, I counted out three hundred magic crystals from the money bag, and then directly handed the bag of magic crystals to the weapon merchant, who put away his smile at this time, and carefully counted the magic crystals in the money bag.After a quarter of an hour, he counted the magic crystals one by one, smiled at me, and said, "If you want to buy other weapons, go to the black market and find me, I have catapults, crossbow arrows, siege vehicles, and so on!"
”"Hehe, we don't have any other ideas for the time being."
I said to the arms merchant with a smile."
Well, Your Excellency the Magician, then good luck and goodbye!"
With that, the Arms Merchant left the manor with two bags of magic crystals and his men.Karantso, Katerina, and Justes and I carefully inspected the inside and outside of the manor to make sure that the weapon merchant had withdrawn all his men, and then ran to the gate of the manor in the rain, sealed the gate firmly with an ice wall, and then opened the portal to the Valley of the Willow in this storehouse, and asked Karantso to call out a team of orc warriors, and let the orc warriors carry all the crossbows into the valley of the valley in the rain.Katerina, Karantso, and Justes also followed me into the Valley of the Willows, and Caterina leaned up behind me and asked me curiously, "Jijia, what are you doing with so many crossbows?"
”In response to Caterina's question, I explained, "I want to equip these bed crossbows with the barbarian slaves. ”I stroked a bed crossbow with the canvas removed, and gestured on it, and said to Caterina: "You see, I imagine that a huge grip should be installed here in the bed crossbow, and there should be a handle added here, so that the barbarians can easily pick up these bed crossbows, and I hope that every barbarian slave will be able to carry this military crossbow on his back in the future." ”Karantso said to me, "Are you trying to convert these bed crossbows into giant heavy crossbows?"
For the barbarians. ”I replied, "Yes, why would I buy so much otherwise!"
”As I spoke, I happened to see a group of barbarian slaves standing in the square of the underground warehouse, and the barbarians led by them were arguing with Bernd about something, and I walked over to find out that the barbarians asked again to add some meat food to their lunch, but about these things, it was obviously not for Bernd to decide, at this time the barbarians saw Karantso, and hurriedly surrounded them, they also knew that Karantso was the real queen of the Xinliu Valley, and the issue of eating meat was only for Karantso.I beckoned the barbarian leader to come over, pointed to the bed crossbow on the ground, and said to him, "Pick it up and try it, and take a flat shot." ”Seeing that the barbarian looked at me with some ignorance, he didn't understand what I was saying.I turned around and untied the crossbow from one of the orc warriors, the crossbow on the back of the orc warrior was also the standard weapon of the army, but this crossbow was many times smaller than the bed crossbow.Despite this, when I picked up the crossbow with both hands, although it was a little difficult, I made a move.I held the handle of the machine and the crossbow in one hand, and lifted the body of the bed crossbow with the other, and struck a pose towards the barbarian.The tall barbarian learned my movements, dragged the bulky bed crossbow in his hand, and saw how relaxed he lifted the bed crossbow, so the next thing was to change the bed crossbow to a giant hand-held heavy crossbow, and that was half the story.Justus and I took a crossbow string from a sealed crate and, with the help of the dwarf Bernd, placed it on the bed crossbow.I asked the barbarian slave to try to pull the bowstring.The barbarian slave looked down at the bed crossbow held in his right hand, stretched out the three fingers of his left hand and put it on the bowstring, and pulled it hard, only to hear the bed crossbow creak, and he didn't know how much strength the barbarian slave had, the crossbow string that the human warrior could only pull with a winch, and the barbarian slave easily pulled it away with only three fingers.The situation in Tanton City is not currently suitable for the construction of Trum, so I only spent one day in Tanton City before returning to the Imperial Capital with Katerina.Ruka and Justus, the Minotaurs, did not follow me back to the Imperial Capital this time, they remained in Tanton City, and they still lived in the hotel, and they waited silently in Tanton City for a chance to fight, just like the warriors of other adventuring groups.When I returned to the Imperial Capital, the first thing I did was to go to the Teaching Office of the Royal Academy of Magic to cancel my leave, and the Director of Teaching, Freeman, personally signed my fake note, but obviously, he was very tactful to indicate that I had missed a little too much this semester, and if I wanted to successfully prepare for the final exams, I would have to listen carefully.It had been about a week since I left the imperial capital, and the magic teachers in the Royal Academy of Magic saw me again with a helpless expression.After I finished my magic class somewhat absentmindedly, I took Caterina to a carpenter's workshop, and showed the pattern of the wooden grip I had drawn to the master carpenter, and asked them to make three hundred and forty-seven grips and supports, after having the grips and supports, these bed crossbows still need to be further modified, and there must be a mechanism that can be pulled with one hand, so that it can be completely changed to a hand-held giant heavy crossbow, but this carpenter's workshop is fully capable of this, and I explained my requirements in detail with the workshop owner, and this matter is settled.Later, I ran to Arya's house, and happened to see little Ella here, and Arya invited her to play at the manor, and when little Ella saw me, she chased me and asked me where I had been these days, and I hadn't seen anyone for days.The black iron armor of the Nakma has been stored by Arya in the warehouse in the airport town, and I rushed over to get the key to the warehouse this time.After transporting these black iron armors back to Xinliu Valley, let these barbarian slaves try them on, but I didn't expect that the Nakma people and the barbarians are about the same figure, the barbarians wear these black iron armor, a little loose, but as long as the straps on these armors are tightened, they can be worn on the body, the only disadvantage of these armors is that they only have the upper body.I also need to buy some black iron ingots and go to the blacksmith to customize a batch of armor such as pants and shin armor and heavy boots.
