red man

Chapter 40
"Start the pot—"

At the top of the city, a large pot was carried by a few big men, and the boiling water inside was boiling. After hearing Wei Hao's order, dozens of pots of boiling water poured down together. The green half is red, and he was scalded to death within a few breaths.

"Pull up the bellows!!"

"Keep boiling the water!"

"Hot oil ready!"

Wei Hao ran back and forth, observing the movements of the crab monsters from time to time. Now that he could sniff out the evil spirit, even if he couldn't see underwater, the crab monsters couldn't hide.

In the evening, the city was already densely packed with dead crabs. The scene was so spectacular that Xiang Yong, who was guarding the city, could not be calm for a long time.

At that time, thousands of crabs swarmed in. It was really scary, especially the largest one. The two crab claws were comparable to door panels.

However, Wei Hao didn't relax. He knew the crab's habits, and at night, crabs are the best time to be active.

So Wei Hao immediately ordered: "Hurry up and rest, there will be fierce battles at night!"

"Yes!"

The township braves and yamen servants were divided into two shifts, one shift continued to stand guard, and the other shifted to eat and sleep quickly.

Wei Hao from Zuo Baihu said that there will be fierce battles at night, so there will be.

Some people in the city also formally saw the monster today, and their originally curious and relaxed minds have completely faded away. They are all serious, and silently pray for the guards.

"Zuo Baihu, the sledgehammer you want is here."

Gong Jian, the demon extermination man, offered a hammer, and then said, "There is a lack of materials in the city, so I can only slightly modify the household items that are used to forging utensils."

"Mr. Gongjian, this is your tool. How can I take it from others? Absolutely not."

Wei Hao waved his hands again and again, "I want a hammer, just for the convenience of breaking open the crab shell. During the day, I saw that the huge crab monster is quite famous. The arrow can't pierce it. It must be difficult to cut it with a sharp knife. That's why I thought There is an armor-piercing sledgehammer, and it will be smashed to pieces when the time comes."

"Zuo Hundred Households! The siege of Wuchao County by demons this time is a rare event in this dynasty. Only by doing our best can we save it. What is a mere workmanship compared to the safety of the whole city? Subduing demons and exterminating demons should be the responsibility of us and other demon exterminations, but now Zuo Baihu is left alone, the old man is already ashamed..."

After saying that, Gong Jian was afraid of Wei Hao's hesitation, and said, "Zuo Baihu, I will borrow it from you as an old man, how about it?"

"That's good, Mr. Gongjian, this sledgehammer, let me get rid of the demon first!"

As soon as I picked up the sledgehammer, I felt it was heavy in the hand, and it was very heavy. The sledgehammer had a short handle and a square head, and there was an inscription cast on it. There was a line of small characters written: Daxia Military Supervisor, a stone master, Gong Jianzhi.

The Military Weapons Supervision is the place where the Great Xia Dynasty specializes in making magic weapons. In addition to designing and building weapons for the soldiers, the monster-eliminating people from all states in the world, and the unique weapons and treasures they need are also made by the experts who are looking for the Military Weapons Supervision.

Among them, the strength of the masters depends on their titles in the Military Weapons Supervisor.

For example, a "one-stone master" is a high-level craftsman who can wield a one-stone heavy forging hammer. One stone weighs 120 catties. It is already a natural strength to hold it, but it is even more powerful to be able to lift weights as light as possible and be able to process utensils.

Generally speaking, there are only one or two "one-stone master craftsmen" in a county, which is more than enough to cooperate with two teams of demon extermination.

"It's a convenient object, but it's a little lighter."

Wei Hao swung the sledgehammer loudly, and the wind was rustling. Gong Jian watched in astonishment, and thought to himself that it was a pity that he didn't have the strength to work as a blacksmith.

He is already strong in martial arts, and has extraordinary strength, coupled with the literary charm of a scholar, and the authority of a hundred households, it is nothing at all to command a guy who weighs more than a hundred pounds. To put it lightly, it is not a joke to be cute .

"If there is a natural treasure smelted, it will definitely increase the weight, but it's a pity..."

Spreading his hands, Gong Jianzhi said, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice", and he couldn't do anything.

"Smelting natural treasures?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested, Wei Hao thought to himself, didn't he get a stubborn stone with its own spiritual content from Mr. Shi?
However, Mr. Shi said that sooner or later this stone will give birth to wisdom beads, so it would be a pity to just smelt it like this.

Thinking of some legends again, Wei Hao asked, "Mr. Gongjian, I heard that magic weapons can also give birth to wisdom?"

"This requires good luck. This old man is sixty-nine this year, and he has only seen two spiritual artifacts. One belongs to Master Xu of Beiyang Prefecture, and the other was seen during his advanced training in the capital."

Seeing Wei Hao's curiosity, Gong Jianzhi went on to explain, "Usually, when spirit artifacts are born, most of them are accumulated for thousands of years and nurtured for ten generations. Suddenly it became the weather, and then it became a spirit."

"No wonder there is often a saying of 'precious jade for protecting the body'. It is estimated that it was passed down from the ancestors' accumulated virtues."

"That's the truth."

"If so, there is one more question."

"A hundred households on the left can only ask questions, and this old man knows everything without saying anything."

"If there are natural treasures, can they really make weapons that are heavy enough and convenient?"

"It's natural."

It's not to brag, but "a master craftsman with one stone" has all had such works.

It is impossible for a "one-stone master" to make a weapon out of its spirit, but according to the characteristics of the treasure, it is a professional counterpart to customize a magic weapon.

Seeing that Gong Jian was full of confidence, Wei Hao asked again, "How long will it take?"

"It can be overnight, or it can be several years, it all depends on demand."

"Makes sense."

At this moment, Wei Hao already had an idea, to turn the stubborn stone given by Shi Taigong into a handy weapon, which would save a lot of trouble.

Purely to pile up the weight, the objects are too big, and it is inconvenient to carry and store, but the treasures with spiritual accumulation are different, they may not look big, but they may weigh as much as a thousand pounds.

He didn't have to have a [-]-jin iron rod, but a [-]-jin hammer was really almost meaningless.

When used now, the ancestral treasure knife always feels like a piece of bamboo strip, too tasteless, and it still lacks weight.

Carrying a big sledgehammer to patrol at night, Wei Hao looked solemn, but he was thinking about making a good weapon. "One stone master" can make a good one. There are even more powerful military masters in the city. Can also strive for excellence.

What about Beijing?That's obviously stronger and better.

After passing Qiu Wei, he will be able to fight Chun Wei, and he should be in the capital at that time. Maybe with his high-level fame, it will not be a problem to be familiar in the military prison. At that time, let the most powerful craftsman do it The magic weapon comes out...

He was thinking about something good in his heart, when he heard a "click" sound, Wei Hao was startled, and shouted: "Be careful! Those crab monsters are coming again!"
