Martial World

Chapter 64 Complicated Craftsmanship

"What kind of gun do you want to buy? What price?"

"Do you have any treasures here?" Lin Ming asked.

"Treasure gun?" The guy didn't expect this young man to speak astonishingly. The price of a treasure gun is 10,000 taels of gold at least, but it's usually 20,000 to 30,000 taels. How much money does this young man have?

In fact, Lin Ming really didn't have that much money, but he could make a reservation and raise the money.

"Young man, we don't have treasure-level guns in our store. If you want treasure-level swords, there are a lot of them."

"Is that so..." Lin Ming was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that there were no treasure guns in the Shenbing Hall, and there were too few treasure guns.

The clerk said: "The number of guns of this treasure level is too small, but the demand is not small. There was one in the store two months ago, but it was booked long ago, and then sold."

"Oh? As far as I know, the warriors of the Heavenly Fate Kingdom rarely use guns, right? This treasure gun is very popular?"

"Well, it's very popular. Martial artists rarely use it, but... the army will use it. Some generals will buy treasure guns, but because there are too few treasure guns, even some generals with great military achievements do not have treasure weapons. Guns, it is very difficult for a young man to buy a treasure gun in Tianyun Kingdom."

It turned out that, Lin Ming immediately understood in his heart that the spear is the best weapon in the army. Since ancient times, 80% of all famous generals used spears, and the remaining 20% ​​also used Daguan knives, Fang Tianji, etc. These long weapons that are similar to guns, and are famous for their swords, are really few.

When marching to fight, you often have to fight with horses. At this time, the sword is too short, so weapons such as halberds, lances, spears, and spears are used. Spears and spears are the most used. Even in the midst of a chaotic army, you can fight in and out. With a spear as long as one zhang, you can kill more than a dozen people at a time. This is beyond the reach of weapons such as swords, knives, and axes.

Therefore, sweeping the army is a unique move of the gun!

Therefore, the generals of the Heavenly Fate Kingdom, even if they used swords when they practiced martial arts, after joining the army, they had to learn the spear.

"Forget it, this treasure-level gun, I'll talk about it later, it's better to buy a better one. The price of a good gun is likely to be tens of thousands of gold. I don't have that much money now. I used to spend money from Mr. Mu Yi. Take it. Although the inscription runes I made are very valuable, I don’t know if Mu Yi really used so much. These days, Mu Yi has been troubled a lot, and tens of thousands of taels of gold is not a small amount. Ask him again. Besides, some well-made guns will not be too bad, especially since I am not high in martial arts now, it is difficult to give me a treasure to exert its power."

Thinking like this, Lin Ming said, "Forget it, show me other guns. I want good guns."

"Okay, wait a moment, young man." The clerk turned around and took out a gun barrel with a thickness of six points from the camphor wood box. The gun barrel was black and seven feet long.

When the gun is sold in the store, the barrel and the gun head are often sold separately. The gun barrel is stored in a camphor wood box to prevent beetle and corrosion, and the gun head is immersed in tung oil to ensure that it is always bright. When the time comes, guests can choose the appropriate gun barrel and gun head according to their own preferences to form a finished gun.

"Young master, please take a look." The clerk handed over the barrel of the gun.

Lin Ming held the gun barrel in his hand. It weighed about 30 kilograms. It was obviously not made of metal. If you press it hard, the gun barrel was very flexible. Lin Ming had no doubt that if you broke the gun barrel into a full moon shape and let go, it would be possible Smash the skull of a beast.

Although this kind of gun shaft is not metal, it can cause more damage to people than metal rods.

"How much is the barrel of this gun?" Lin Ming asked.

"One thousand two hundred taels of gold."

Rao is that Lin Ming had already prepared, and when he heard the price, he was stunned. The gun barrel alone is so expensive. You must know that an ordinary sword and treasure is only a few thousand taels of gold. This gun is not yet a treasure.

The guy saw Lin Ming's surprise.

He explained: "This is made of ebony wood. It is made of high-quality ebony wood that has grown for hundreds of years. It is soaked in mountain spring water for seven, seven, forty-nine days to swell, and then fried in oil for three days. Ebony wood sawdust and short wood fibers, leaving only the toughest wood fiber skeleton, mixed with the silk of the golden wood silkworm, twisted out, and finally wrapped with a cloth strip woven from the golden wood silkworm silk, soaked in tung oil for three times. made in years."

"Whether it is ebony wood or golden wood silk, it is a precious material that is difficult to hurt by swords. Coupled with various special craftsmanship, the barrel of this gun will never be cut off during the battle, and it can even cut off the enemy's sword. You can rest assured, young man."

Lin Ming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this guy's enthusiastic introduction. The production process of this inconspicuous gun barrel is so complicated. Moreover, although the golden wood silk is not as expensive as the heavenly silk, it is definitely worth a lot of money. , And the ebony wood is also very expensive, not to mention the hundreds of years old tree.

In addition, there are defective products in the production process, such as the frying temperature is not well mastered, and the ebony wood has knots, all of which are not acceptable, and the gun barrel must be as straight as a ruler. Anything that is not straight and uneven is a defective product. Eliminated, which has increased the value of the gun barrel a lot.

No wonder it's so expensive. Ordinary people can't afford such a gun for a lifetime without food or drink. If this kind of gun falls to the people, it can be passed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom.

The guy said: "The most expensive part of a gun is the rod. Whether the gun is good or not depends on the rod and the gun head. The gun head made of cloud-patterned iron is only 800 taels, and the total price will not exceed 2,000 taels. What do you think, young man?"

Lin Ming was playing with the gun barrel, and he couldn't put it down. Not to mention the elasticity and toughness of the gun barrel, the hand feeling was absolutely top-notch.

Too bad it's too light!

"Is there anything more important? For example, a gun that weighs several hundred pounds."

"Oh?" The guy was slightly startled. A gun weighing a few hundred kilograms requires at least a few thousand kilograms of strength to dance well. Does this young man have such great strength?

But doubts turned into doubts, the guy still took out a gun barrel made of pure black iron. This gun barrel is also six minutes thick, seven feet long, and weighs more than 400 kilograms. This guy has obviously practiced, although it is a bit difficult to hold, but Anyway, it was taken out.

"The barrel of this gun is eight hundred taels of gold."

Although black iron is expensive, the production process of pure black iron gun barrels is simple, so metal gun barrels are cheaper.

"Take it lightly, young man, it's very heavy." The shop assistant handed the shaft of the black iron gun to Lin Ming with some anxiety, but Lin Ming didn't expect it to come like a stick, very easy.

This made the shop assistant's eyelids twitch slightly, this young man has so much strength! It's just a humanoid beast.

Lin Ming weighed the gun barrel in his hand and asked, "Is there anything heavier?"

heavier? Still heavier?

The guy was stunned and said, "There are heavier ones, but they are very expensive."

"It doesn't matter." In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Ming lightly lit the golden ticket in his arms. He still has 8,000 taels of gold on his body. As long as it is not a treasure-level gun, no matter how expensive it is, he can afford it.

The guy was slightly stunned when he saw the stack of golden tickets. With such a thick stack of golden tickets, he was indeed a rich owner! He said respectfully, "Young Master, please come with me."

After that, the guy went straight to the second floor.
