Chapter 7 Living Weapons
With Tomund Steel Cast's temper, he could not lose face in front of Dagon anyway. Since he had seized the loopholes in the production process of the Starfire Iron Shop, he still had to use rosacea to complete the work in the fastest and best way?
Dagon and Doma didn't hear the knock at all, and it was precisely because of this.
The two of them rushed all the way, then suddenly stopped at the slightly tilted gate of the Starfire Iron Shop, and then looked inside. From the workshop, the heat of the stove was hot and the face was hot, and you could still vaguely smell the alchemy potion mixed with sweat. Dagon didn't see Tormond, but saw the dwarf apprentice sitting on the ground in the corner of the wall. The apprentice was not yet adult, his face was full of fatigue, and he didn't know what he had encountered before.
"I can only wake him up, otherwise what else can I do?" Doma shrugged, took a step forward, and reached his hand towards the sleepy apprentice's face. I believe that the apprentice's cheeks will deform in the next second. After all, Doma often takes action without lightness or heavyness.
"Behind!" The shouts from the backyard of the Xinghuo Iron Shop saved the face of a Jiangu tribe. It was the voice of Tomund. "Come here quickly, come home after you finish your work!"
"Come!" Dagon responded and pulled Doma over quickly. They passed through the blacksmith's tools, stoves, parts and materials racks, and pushed open the low back door. There was a small open space behind the Spark Iron Shop, which was prepared for loading and unloading. Now there is no order, so the place is completely empty.
Tormond had no body and could not stand for a long time, so he leaned against a lizard with round face, round eyes, and round teeth. Beside him was a dwarf blacksmith with a rosacea nose, and a long pole weapon wrapped in dark brown leather was held by him. From the ruler, chalk and tailor tools placed on the small table among them, the two should be discussing how to add protective leather covers to the weapon.
"Dad, this must be for me, right? Hehehe." Dagon rubbed his hands excitedly, his swollen beard seemed to be a peacock spreading his tail, and he was almost exploded with excitement.
While being happy for his good friends, Doma was also envious. His family was crowded, so even if he performed an adult ceremony or joined a hunting team, he would use his brother's old weapons and old armor. It would probably take many years to want a customized new weapon. Moreover, he did not have the adoptive father who was once a weapon master, so he could not design it at all. Perhaps it was safer to have a standard weapon.
"Yes, this is a gift for you for coming-of-age ceremony - it seems you guessed it, it's really boring." Tormond snorted. Although his face was ferocious, he still couldn't hide the trace of joy and pride. "You were taught by me. You must have a corresponding weapon to show my ability. I know you can't wait, come and have a look!"
Dagon jumped and rushed to the front of the adult birthday gift - at this time Tomond coughed deliberately. "Oh, by the way. Master Blacksmith, I'll pick up your work. Please show it for me."
"He is not a master of blacksmith." Tormond did not leave any face, but did not want to disturb the ritual ceremony, so he added: "But he explains (boasting) that he is indeed at the level of a master in weapons."
Rosacea's nose was flushed, but fortunately she was red, so she couldn't show it at this time. "I won't show my ugly face in front of the weapon master. Weapons are for you, this is a long-handled battle axe, made of live steel."
Release the wrapped leather, a full metal weapon reflected in Dagon's eyes, and then it could not escape. The long-handled battle axe is a long weapon for both hands. The top of the weapon is the tip of the spear, and the hammer head and axe blade are arranged symmetrically to the bottom. The tail of the long-handled has an elliptical tail with the function of chiseling.
"I didn't expect it would be this, it's great!" Dagon almost jumped up and quickly grabbed it in his hand, even trying to hold it in his arms!
When Doma saw the weapon, he felt its danger and viciousness, subconsciously took a step back and tilted his head.
"Since the forge is willing to let me explain, I will give it my will!" Tormond patted the bear lizard behind him, and then stood up with its well-behaved assistance. "Dagon, this weapon has many functions and needs to be used in combination with all the skills I trained for you before."
First of all, it is a spear. Although it is not as far as the heavy spear, it also has the function of long-distance piercing, which can first gain the advantage of control range in battle. Unlike simple spears, a long-handled battle axe has a hammer head and axe surface that spreads with two wings, which can play a powerful rejection effect. Imagine a beast or a cavalry rushing over and setting up a long-handled battle axe here to charge back, and you definitely don't want the other party to penetrate directly and continue to approach. You also hope that the other party will hang on the tip of the spear to stop, right?
The design of the weapon has more details. Nine concave and convex "rear grooves" were specially cast on the hammer surface of the warhammer. This is to enhance the biting force when hitting the plate armor and breastplate with a beveled design, which is not easy to slide, and can penetrate the impact force more concentratedly. The axe surface is slightly arc-shaped, and the damage to the armor-free opponent can be increased by cutting. Relying on some specially designed sections, the weapon has more tips that can be used to poke out of thin air. Some hollow designs not only reduce weight, but also increase the design aesthetics. The connection between the axe surface, hammer head and the long handle is strengthened, so that both auxiliary weapons can perform the dragging action. The tongue connecting the spear tip and the long handle, and even the rivets are four-cornered cones, which makes it possible to kill people on the side.
Dagon looked carefully and liked the more he looked at it. This was not a batch of bargains made in one cast, but a large number of handmade exquisite products that were made by the master who struck the four words "fight, killing" into every inch of the weapon. "This weapon was made of overall live steel," Tormond turned to look at Doma, and said, "I'll depend on you. Do you know what live steel is?"
Doma quickly stood attentively and replied, "I only know that it can repair itself."
"Let Dagon tell you." Tormond's mouth curled up, and his beard shook.
"In addition to absorbing water, some underground plants can also absorb some metal minerals. This is mainly the result of the interaction between terrain forces and elemental forces. The two combinations are the most common," said Dagon.
"Colle this plant and cultivate it in an environment that strengthens the elemental power, and then treat it with fire mana and water mana. The wood elements in the trunk are eliminated and eventually become block metal. This is living steel. Put it in the water and soil, and it can repair the damage by itself, like a living creature with regeneration ability."
Due to its plant characteristics, live steel reacts to sunlight, water, soil and air. The live steel collected on the ground is often green and uses photosynthesis to repair itself. However, the plants in underground caves do not see the sun, so this live steel is a bit purple, and the strong sunshine will also reduce the effect of self-healing.
Dagon's answer was good, and his adoptive father could prove this without criticism. He placed his weapon on the ground, the tip of the spear was slightly shorter than himself, and his chin could be placed on the side of the hammer - of course, it was quite dangerous to do so. He picked up the long-handled battle axe and looked for the center of gravity at the same time. This was a long-handled swing weapon, with the center of gravity very close to the end of the hammer, axe, and spear.
"Doma, you happen to be here, and I won't let you go for a waste." Tormond raised his chin, blew his beard all the way up, and waved his fingers at the blacksmith shop. "Get a weapon to help Dagon adapt. You'll be a real guy."
"Take a real guy? It will hurt people."
"Dagon said you want to go to the hunting team, and the beasts don't care about mercy. You must be prepared to face life and death. Dagon will not kill you, but he can help you experience it in advance. Go quickly, if you perform well, I will teach you a trick."
"Dagon, don't blame me for being ruthless later!"
Doma rushed out like a dog, and ran back with a scimitar.
On the other hand, Dagon was not idle either. He seized the time to adapt to the center of gravity and weight of the weapon. He tried to swing the force needed to stand up, allowing his arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and hips to feel inertia. Seeing Doma back, he stood with his feet in front and back, with a long-handed axe flush with the medicine, with a long-handed axe on his waist and a hip, and his hands were held forward and backward.
"Bastard, are you going to kill someone?" Tormond immediately shouted when he saw this position. "What is in his mind? Can you stop using that position?"
Dagon blinked, nodded and said, "I was wrong. I just thought about the most ruthless posture. I'll change it now."
He raised the long-handled battle axe to his shoulder, with the front hand in the middle of the long-handled, and the back hand supported the relatively heavier "three-in-one weapon" part. In this way, the original Taizhe was facing forward and threatened with the advantage of the long-handled.
"This is almost the same, otherwise it will be difficult to be a human being." Tormond felt relieved and reached out to scratch the specific part of the bear lizard's belly. After a while, he heard the snoring of the mount. He had to sleep first, otherwise he would have diarrhea due to being too nervous - an old problem, Tormond didn't want to clean it.
Weizun pointed forward, with the center of gravity behind and was fully supported, which gave the long handle great operability. When Doma slashed over, he used the axis to amplify the moving distance, and Dagon waved the long handle and knocked on the scimitar to the side.
If he swings his tail and pokes forward, he can hit Doma's throat or face directly from the center line, causing fatal damage. Fortunately, he is now ahead and control is simpler. He has more effort to overcome the killing action that has formed muscle memory, and used a side-rear sliding and weapon recovery action to regain the distance.
If it is the heavier side, it is likely that it will not be taken back and will directly stab the person to death with the tip of the spear.
Tormond naturally saw the recycling action, and the rosacea blacksmith also understood it and knew the outcome. However, Doma only saw Dagon retreating, so he naturally chased him. The scimitar slashed down, and he knew to pull his arm to his chest so that he would really cut his good friend.
First, he heard a clang, and then felt pain in his wrist. Doma looked down and found that the scimitar had been shot to the ground. There were clear shocks on the back of his hands and wrists. When did it hit? Tormond raised his head and found that a shadow covered his face.
The axe blade with a long-handled battle axe hovered over his forehead.
