207. Mullen Scholars
I heard that I was going to buy a large number of such scrapped crossbow bodies. The weapon merchant thought about it for a moment and took me out of the black market.
I originally wanted to say hello to Mr. Billy, but the market in this black market was too big. I went around to the street stalls where food was sold by the fountain, but I didn't see him.
Immediately, the weapons merchant took us in a magic caravan to an abandoned manor north of the city.
At this time, it started to rain in the sky, and the gray clouds peeled off from the clouds, floating down like mist, and then condensed into bean-sized raindrops in the air and fell from the top of the head.
A sudden rain caused the temperature in the air to drop sharply.
The Black Forest in the Jero plane has a warm climate and humid air, and it often encounters continuous rainy days.
The sunlight on the plane of Jero is blocked from the clouds all year round, and it is rarely seen throughout the year. The residents here like to build houses with stones. Although there is an endless black forest outside the city, people here rarely build wooden houses, and temporary residences in the forest are built of wood. The main reason is that wooden houses are easily moldy and insect-eaten here. In this humid environment, mushrooms are easily grown on those wooden houses.
Three hundred crossbows with the chassis bracket and wooden wheel were removed, and they were neatly placed in an abandoned manor in the inner city, covering the entire lawn. Each crossbow was wrapped with a layer of canvas and felt, and was tightly tied with straw ropes outside to prevent water vapor from penetrated into the entire crossbow. If the crossbow body deformed, it would be difficult to ensure the original accuracy.
The rain hit the canvas and felt that she sheltered from the rain, flowing along the canvas on the lawn, gathering into streams on the lawn, and flowing into the lower reservoir of the manor.
The weapon merchant lifted the hood above his head and let the cold rain hit his head. He reached out and touched his face hard. His brown pupils showed a hint of surprise and said to me: "Do you want to buy all these crossbows?"
I nodded.
The weapon merchant said: "When the Duke of Samoyed, he also hoped that the various posts could pass through these crossbows to block the footsteps of the Nebru Spiderman."
After hearing what he said, I finally knew why there were so many abandoned crossbows here. Everything was prepared when the Duke of Samoyed built the Tanton City defense line, just like the whole bunch of crossbows in the Trum stronghold. The top of the city was covered with crossbows, and a large number of weapons and crossbows were stored in the belly of the mountain. All of this was prepared because the Duke of Samoyeded wanted to build a solid line of defense.
The weapon merchant continued: "But it turns out that his decision was wrong. He spent a lot of money on the plane of Jero to create a large number of military crossbows and crossbow arrows, but these weapons were of no use at all."
The weapons merchant was right. These 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. I had been dealing with the spider-man warriors in the Trum area for nearly a month, and had some understanding of the spider-man warriors and knew the weaknesses exposed when fighting at the station.
The weapon merchant reached out to untie the hemp rope tied to the oil cloth, exposing the crossbow arms inside to the rain. The crossbow arms were covered with a layer of animal fat, and the raindrops fell on the crossbow arms and quickly exploded into countless small water droplets. These crossbows were not stringed. He said to me: "The Yero plane is too wet. The bowstrings twisted by deer tendons will not be used after being damp, so these bowstrings are usually stored in the magic seal box and will only be installed on the crossbow before fighting."
He raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and then said: "It is undeniable that these crossbows have strong lethality to those spider-man warriors, but the frequency of crossbow arrows on this large instrument is too slow. After two rounds of shooting, the spider-man warriors will rush to the bottom of the stronghold. Due to the pitch angle limit, the big guy cannot shoot to the enemy under the city. Those spider-man warriors climbed up to the city wall with their excellent rock climbing skills and slaughtered infantry guards on the post."
The weapon merchant finally warned me: "So...Young Magician, I must remind you not to put all your hopes on these clumsy crossbows. It takes at least thirty breaths to pull the bowstrings of the crossbows with a winch. Its firing speed is too slow, and unless it has an absolute advantage in force, it will not help you win the war."
Unexpectedly, such a weapon merchant who sells second-hand abandoned bed crossbows, whose purpose of saying so many things was to make me carefully consider buying a bed crossbow, and I was worried that I would run to the battlefield to die.
This noble businessman was really gentlemanly. I smiled at him and reached out to check on the crossbow where he had dismantled the rainproof cloth. Sure enough, this crossbow had everything except for the support frame with no base and pitch angle, and was sealed very well. I pulled off the canvas on the crossbow and exposed it to the rain.
The whole bed crossbow was covered with grease, and the crossbow arms were tightly wrapped with hemp ropes. It was well maintained and looked completely new.
I reached out and stroked the smooth and delicate crossbow body, and exclaimed: "What a good crossbow."
Kalancho and Katerina stood beside me and never left. Justus took out a dagger and walked into the crossbow formation. He picked up a few crossbows and cut off the ropes on the rain-covered canvas on it. Then he checked the crossbows inside and untied the ropes of the three crossbows in succession. He saw that the crossbows inside were of the same quality.
I said to the weapons merchant: "My people have not arrived in Tanton yet, so can these crossbows be stored here for a few days?"
The weapons merchant said readily: "Of course, it doesn't matter how long you want to keep it. This is originally an abandoned manor."
Then he suggested to me: "When I use this yard to place these ordnances, I will hire some adventure group soldiers to help me guard these crossbows. I suggest you also hire some mercenary group people. I know an adventure group with good reputation. If you need it, I can introduce them to you."
I smiled unquestionably, and did not answer his words, and the weapons merchant did not mention it again.
Then we counted these crossbows in the rain. Unexpectedly, there were nearly four hundred crossbows placed in the entire abandoned manor. However, there were only 347 of them intact. The remaining seventy crossbows were all somewhat damaged defective products.
Then we hid in the warehouse of the manor and discussed the selling price of these crossbows.
A complete bed crossbow will probably be sold for about thirty magic crystals in the imperial capital, but the bed crossbows I bought do not require a base or wooden wheel.
These crossbows can be seen everywhere in Tanton City, and the ones in front of me were kept slightly better at best. They picked up these broken crossbows abandoned in various posts, and then asked the craftsmen to piece together the scraps and assembled them into some complete crossbows. This was a completely unsubstantiable deal, so the weapons merchants opened the selling price very low from the beginning.
Three hundred and forty-seven bed crossbows were sold to me at the price of five magic crystals each. These crossbows cost me a total of 1,700 magic crystals. I counted out three hundred magic crystals from my money bag, and then handed the bag of magic crystals to the weapons merchant. The weapons merchant put away his smile at this time and meticulously counted the magic crystals in the money bag.
A quarter of an hour later, he finished counting the magic crystals one by one, smiled at me and said, "If you want to buy other weapons, go to the black market to find me. I also have catapults, crossbow arrows, siege and rushing cars, etc."
"Haha, we have no other ideas for the time being." I said to the weapons merchant with a smile.
"Okay, Master Magician, then good luck, goodbye!" After saying that, the weapon merchant left the manor with two bags of magic crystals and his men.
Kalancho, Katerina, Justus, and I carefully checked the manor inside and out and confirmed that the weapon merchant had withdrawn all his people. Then we ran to the door of the manor in the rain, sealed the door firmly with the ice wall, and then opened the portal to Xinliu Valley in this warehouse, asking Kalancho to call out a group of orc warriors, and let these orc warriors carry all these crossbows into Xinliu Valley in the rain.
Katerina, Kalancho and Justus followed me into Xinliu Valley. Katerina came behind me and asked me curiously: "Geega, what do you want to do when you buy so many crossbows?"
Towards Katerina's question, I explained: "I want to equip these crossbows with the barbarian slaves."
I stroked a crossbow with the canvas removed, gestured on it, and said to Katerina: "Look, I imagine that I would install a huge grip on the crossbow. Uh, and there should be another handle here. Those savages can easily pick up these crossbows. I hope that every barbarian slave will carry such a military crossbow in the future."
Kalancho asked me, "Are you trying to convert these crossbows into giant heavy crossbows? For barbarians."
I replied: "That's right, otherwise why would I buy so much?"
As he said that, he happened to see a group of barbarian slaves standing in the square of the underground warehouse. The savages in the lead were arguing with Bornde. I walked over and realized that the barbarians asked again to add some meat to their lunch, but these things were obviously not something that Bornde could decide. At this time, the barbarians saw Kalancho and hurriedly surrounded them. They also knew that Kalancho was the real queen of Xinliu Valley, and only Kalancho could say about eating meat.
I greeted the savage leader and pointed to the crossbow on the ground and said to him, "Pick it up and try it, and pose for a flat shot."
Seeing the barbarian looking at me with some ignorance, I didn't understand what I was saying.
I turned around and untied the powerful crossbow behind him from an orc warrior. The powerful crossbow on the orc warrior was also a standard weapon of the army, but this kind of powerful crossbow is many times smaller than the bed crossbow. Despite this, although I was a little trouble when I held the powerful crossbow with both hands, I made my movements come out.
I held the handle of the Jikuan and the crossbow with one hand, and held up the crossbow body with the other, and posed for the barbarian.
The tall barbarian learned my actions and dragged the bulky crossbow on his hand. Seeing him holding up the crossbow with a relaxed look, then... as long as the crossbow is changed to a giant handheld heavy crossbow, this matter is halfway.
Justus and I took out a crossbow string from a magic seal box, and with the help of the dwarf Bornder, we placed the bow string on the crossbow.
I asked the savage slave to try to pull the bowstring.
The barbarian slave looked down at the crossbow held in his right hand, stretched out his three fingers on the bowstring, and pulled it hard, and only heard the crossbow creaking sound. I didn't know how strong the barbarian slave had. The crossbow string that human warriors could use winch to pull, the barbarian slave easily pulled it away with only three fingers.
...
The situation in Tanton City is not suitable for building the town of Trum, so I only stayed in Tanton City for one day and then took Katerina back to the imperial capital.
The Taurus Ruka and Justus did not follow me back to the imperial capital this time. They stayed in Tanton City and still lived in that hotel. They were like warriors from other adventure groups, silently waiting for the opportunity to fight in Tanton City.
After I returned to the capital, the first thing I did was to go to the teaching office of the Royal Magic Academy to cancel the leave. The director of the teaching director Freeman personally signed the letter for my leave, but it was obvious that he tactfully stated that I missed a little more classes this semester. If I still wanted to successfully meet the final exam, I would have to listen carefully next.
It took me more than a week to leave the imperial capital. The magic teachers in the Royal Magic Academy saw me again and showed helplessness.
After taking the magic class absent-mindedly, I took Caterina to a carpenter's workshop and gave the carpenter's drawings of the wooden grips to the carpenter's master, asking them to make 347 grips and hand holders. With the grips and hand holders, these crossbows need to be further modified. They must have a machine that can be pulled with one hand to be considered completely transformed into a giant heavy crossbow. However, this carpenter's workshop has this ability. I and the workshop owner explained my requirements in detail, and this matter was decided.
Then, I ran to Alia's house again and happened to see Little Ella here. Alia invited her to play at the manor. When Little Ella saw me, she chased me and asked where she had been going these days, and she hadn't seen my people for several days.
The black iron armor of the Nakma people has been stored by Alia in the warehouse in the airport town. This time I rushed over to get the keys to the warehouse.
After transporting these black iron armor back to Xinliu Valley, these barbarian slaves tried it on. Unexpectedly, the Nakma people and the barbarians had similar figures. The barbarians were a little loose when wearing these black iron armors, but as long as the straps on these armors were tightened, they could be worn on their bodies. The only disadvantage of these armors was that they only had the upper body.
I also need to buy some black iron ingots to go to the blacksmith shop to customize a batch of armor, granites, heavy boots and other armors for the lower body.
