Chapter 426 The Craftsman
The quietness in the room was a bit awkward.
This is different from what I expected.
The momentum just now was like a stunning sword, and it felt like a sword would break the stone straight away. As a result, there was only a gap in the stone, but it was just a small gap.
Duokang looked at the stones on the ground, then looked at the sword in Gong Jiaheng's hand, then turned his head and glanced at Zheng Luo next to him, and wanted to say something, but he held it back.
Not to mention Duo Kang, even Gong Jiaheng himself, his face full of beards, was so red that he turned black.
I wanted to show off, but I found that I failed to show off.
"Well, this stone is a bit strange. The few I tried before can easily break it." Gong Jiaheng didn't know that the stone I picked up in the house was so hard? If the ordinary stones in the forest were chopped open! He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. It was simply... I wish I could kill myself with one sword.
Shao Xuan was surprised. He went over and picked up a missing stone on the ground, looked at the gap on it, with surprise in his eyes.
"Good sword!" Shao Xuan exclaimed.
Gong Jiaheng: "..." Stop talking, I want to slap myself.
Seeing Gong Jiaheng's face, Shao Xuan also knew what he was thinking and explained: "This is indeed the best sword I have ever seen. As for this stone, it is harder than the others. According to the level of our stone tools, this stone is already close to the top stone and much harder than the others." Shao Xuan pointed to another stone in the corner, "If it were that, it would be different."
The stone just now was picked up by Shao Xuan by chance during a hunting time. The stone is really good, but it is too small to make a sword spear or something. Shao Xuan temporarily threw it in the corner, but he didn't expect it to turn into Gong Jiaheng's sword test stone. Gong Jiaheng's luck is too good. This is good, so it won't be so stupid.
Shao Xuan handed Gong Jiaheng another stone. In the eyes of Gong Jiaheng and others, there was no big difference, and it was similar to other stones in the mountains and forests.
"You try again." Shao Xuan said.
Gong Jiaheng doesn't have that strong confidence this time, but for the sake of the surname "gong Jia", he cannot leave a bad impression. Otherwise, he will mention it later and say that Gong Jia's surname is someone who came out of Gong Jia Mountain and made a sword that he couldn't even cut off a stone... Then Gong Jiaheng really wanted to run back to Gong Jia Mountain and lay off his own life there.
Taking a deep breath, Gong Jiaheng threw the stone that Shao Xuan handed over again, gritted his teeth and waved his sword to slash it down. He held his strength and was even more powerful than before.
Bang!
The stone was broken in half.
Seeing this, Gong Jiaheng also breathed a sigh of relief, but the arrogance just now was a little restrained, and there was no way. He lost someone just now, and even if he saved some face, he had to admit that it was really a hit. This also made Gong Jiaheng understand that his skills were still far from that. If he was given time and continued to study and improve, he would one day break the stone just now.
Duokang picked up the stone broken in half on the ground. He threw away his suspicion and stared at the sword in Gong Jiaheng's hand with his eyes shining. However, he also knew that the sword was given to Shao Xuan. He just thought that when Shao Xuan didn't use it in the future, he would lend it to him and make a living.
Zheng Luo also admired Gong Jiaheng very much. He is worthy of being a boxer and can really break the stone easily! It is not for the slave owners of the six towns and cities to pursue it.
Gong Jiaheng handed the sword to Shao Xuan. He did not introduce the other weapons now, but asked Shao Xuan how to better identify the stone, which would make it easier for him to build the sword in the future and choose the stone to test the sword. Otherwise, if the embarrassing scene just now occurs, he really doesn't need to ask for his face. Fortunately, it's just a tribe living in the mountains and forests. If such a thing happens in the six cities, especially the royal city, the consequences will be even more serious.
After seeing the sword created by Gong Jiaheng, Zheng Luo and Duokang did not continue to stay here. Gong Jiaheng had something to discuss with Shao Xuan, so they would not disturb him.
After Shao Xuan and Gong Jiaheng talked about some methods of identifying stones, he asked Gong Jiaheng what he planned later.
"I will go directly to the royal city, where there are some elders and friends who need to visit. After all, I have been away for twenty years! I don't know what the royal city looks like now." Gong Jiaheng sighed, "Some people are looking for Gong Jia Mountain, and they are just about to get in just one step, but they can't take that step until they die." Just like the corpses I saw in the Qiangu, they were extremely unwilling to die.
"The old people in the tribe said that it was God's will. I thought I would follow their footsteps, but I didn't expect to meet you, Shao Xuan."
"I also got a lot of benefits." Shao Xuan said.
Gong Jiaheng thought Shao Xuan was talking about the ten weapons he gave out, so he waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. I will improve my skills in the future. If you want to build another weapon, you can go to me. Don't worry, you won't charge a high price."
Speaking of this, Gong Jiaheng paused and the muscles on his face twitched a few times, "Why did you step on the valley again before you left?"
When Gong Jiaheng came out of the mountain, he was a little dazed because of the continuous forging and was tripped by the pit. When he saw Ye Zixin left by Shao Xuan, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Well, that place is really good." Shao Xuan quickly changed the subject, "When will you go to the royal city? Our tribe is about to go out for trading. At that time, I will go out with the tribe and then go to the royal city."
"Okay, if you don't have a place to stay in the royal city, you can go find me. In the royal city, our Gongjia family lives together. You will know after you go and ask." Gongjiaheng is still very happy that Shao Xuan can go to the royal city. "I will introduce you to a few masters of our Gongjia family. What weapons do you want to suck in the future? You can go find them. Oh, no, I will be a master in the future hahahaha!"
Speaking of this, Gong Jiaheng's confidence that had just been hit by Shao Xuan's stone has returned again.
The title of master is also defined differently for different people.
In the Yanjiao tribe, craftsmen who build weapons and repair weapons are called craftsmen, and other tribes are similar. However, for those who are more particular, only those who reach a certain level and have certain results will be called masters or craftsmen, otherwise they will be summarized as ordinary craftsmen.
In the past, Gong Jiaheng was also called the Boxer Craftsman outside, but in the eyes of the Gong Jia family and some noble slave owners of the six towns, they were not qualified. However, now, I went to Gong Jia Mountain and learned some secret skills from my ancestors in the past. My skills were so sophisticated that I could be called a master in the future.
Gong Jiaheng was indeed arrogant in the past, but his arrogance was a bit weak. Even Gong Jiaheng himself would be a little cautious when boasting himself. After all, he was not a very outstanding genius among the box people. Otherwise, he would not have been trapped for twenty years on the way to find Gong Jia Mountain. His influence in the six tribes was not very great, and he could not be as good as some of the better people in the tribe.
But now, Gongjia Heng is confident that he will complete the counterattack after returning and become famous in the city!
Today, Gong Jiaheng is like an ore being forged into a weapon, taking off his initial body and becoming a more advanced and dazzling sword.
"Then I'll thank Master Heng first!"
"Hahaha, you're polite! You're polite!" Gong Jiaheng was a little happy. He had already imagined the situation when Rong returned to the royal city. However, after seeing the broken stone, he was much calmer.
Gong Jiaheng asked Shao Xuan for the missing stone he cut out, and he decided to use this stone as a sword test stone in the future.
"Our tribe uses swords, spears and axes, and can these weapons be of quality comparable to this sword?" Shao Xuan asked.
"That's for sure!" Gong Jiaheng replied.
Because slave owners like swords, craftsmen made more swords among the many weapons. After all, there were not so many huge and fierce giant beasts in the places where the slave owners were.
"What are your requirements for these weapons?" Even if you can't build it now, Gong Jiaheng can still think more about it. Shao Xuan will be prepared to build weapons in the future.
Shao Xuan thought for a while and said, "It's bigger and better to make it during hunting."
Gong Jiaheng's eyes twitched, and it turned out to be the style of Yanke.
Shao Xuan told Gong Jiaheng many skills in identifying stones. In return, Gong Jiaheng also talked to Zheng Luo and gave guidance to the craftsmen of the tribe. Seeing the Taihe tribe for several days, he felt so sad that he wanted to get some advice from Gong Jiaheng, but there was no reason. Gong Jiaheng said a few more words to the craftsmen of Yanjiao just because Shao Xuan helped him. As for the others, Master Heng was very tall and too lazy to pay attention to it.
The pride of the box people is that even if they create a weapon in front of others, they believe that no one can create a weapon that exceeds them. Not to mention just pointing to the Yanjiao people next to them, there is no pressure on the craftsman Jiaheng.
During the two days when Gong Jiaheng stayed in Yanjiao tribe, he fully felt the enthusiasm of Yanjiao people. When he left, he was given a roasted animal leg, one of which was larger than Gong Jiaheng. However, for Gong Jiaheng, it was not convenient to move in the forest with such a large animal leg. He only cut off one piece and brought some jerky meat before saying goodbye.
Before leaving, Gong Jiaheng also told Shao Xuan that if Shao Xuan went to the royal city, he would bring him some thousand grains of gold in exchange for him. Although Gong Jiaheng did not know much about the planting industry, he had a lot of knowledge and could feel the specialness of those grains.
Hearing Gong Jiaheng's words, the people of Yanjiao's expectations for thousands of gold became stronger.
Nowadays, the millets on the thousand golden ears are like grapes, much larger than the soybean-sized grains that Shao Xuan saw at the beginning. The heavy ears are hanging, waiting to be harvested when they mature.
