Early that morning, Zhang Weidao was practicing his sword under the waterfall, sweating like rain, when a kobold guard hurried over. Zhang Weidao happened to turn sideways and saw him, so he jumped down from the platform. This sword was carrying more than eighty kilograms.

After jumping five or six meters, there were two deep footprints on the ground when he landed.

As soon as he greeted him, before he said anything, he heard the kobold guard shouting, "Sir, the leader is back with the caravan, and he also deceived a black dwarf back!" After hearing the words of the kobold guard, Zhang Weidao hurriedly ran to the monastery.

, only the kobold guard was left staring dumbfoundedly at a silhouette getting further and further away.

The kobold guard opened his mouth and murmured to himself, "This is too fast! It can run faster than a rabbit!"

I hurried back to the monastery and saw a large group of kobolds surrounding the hall. Gag stood in the middle of the crowd, dancing and blowing cowhide, and a dark dwarf sitting on a stool next to him was drinking wine.

Jiage looked around and saw Zhang Weidao coming in. He quickly asked the kobolds surrounding him to disperse, and shouted loudly as he came forward, "Sir! I have invited a master dwarf blacksmith back this time!"

Zhang Weidao approached and looked at the black iron dwarf. He was about 1.3 meters tall, but his body was much thicker than that of a human. He was the same size as a tree stump, with thick muscles on his limbs, skin like ashes, and eyes that flashed red.

.

At this time, Jiage walked up to the black iron dwarf and introduced to Zhang Weidao: "He is Garon Firehammer. This master blacksmith came to teach us forging before. He is one of the most powerful master blacksmiths in the entire Burning Plains."

one."

Then he turned to the dwarf blacksmith and introduced him, "This is the guardian of our tribe. When I came to the trading market, he led his tribe to eliminate the spiders entrenched in the jade mine."

When the black iron dwarf heard that Zhang Weidao had eliminated the spider group, he paused with his wine bottle in his hand and raised his head to look at Zhang Weidao. Then he stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Weidao's hand, "You can destroy those spiders entrenched in the jade mine. This strength is absolutely

He’s already a hero!"

The black iron dwarf Garroen saw that Zhang Weidao didn't know much about the hero level, so he explained, "The positioning of this hero level is vague after all. Being able to kill hundreds of regular army soldiers in head-on combat is considered a hero level. Of course, using terrain or equipment and magic

It doesn’t count.”

After listening to Garon's words, Zhang Weidao thought about it and it was indeed similar. You must know that those spiders were all above the third level of strength, but they were eliminated by himself like chopping melons and vegetables. The power of the last giant spider was at least seven.

At that level, he was suppressed and had no chance to gain a foothold. Fortunately, the giant spider's IQ was not high, so he seized the opportunity to kill it.

With the affirmation of the well-informed blacksmith master, Zhang Weidao became more confident in his own strength. The hero level can determine the outcome of a small war. Once the orc army moves north, they can start to make waves outside.

Thinking of the war in the near future, Zhang Weidao asked the dwarf blacksmith, "Master Garon, have you done any research on muskets?"

Garroen replied with pride: "I am also very knowledgeable about engineering muskets. I can also build muskets. The preparation of gunpowder is not a problem."

"The engineers asked me to customize the parts. I learned it by watching them as they were assembling the musket. The gunpowder formula is not a secret either."

After listening to the words of the master blacksmith, Zhang Weidao was very happy. Many dwarves also like to use muskets to fight. The possibility of Garroen being able to make muskets is very high. Kobolds are short and have trouble using melee weapons. Muskets are very harmful to their size.

The requirements are not high, and using a musket to fight is the best choice.

Seeing that Zhang Weidao was very interested in muskets, Garroen took out a musket from his small bag and handed it to Zhang Weidao, and then introduced, "This gun is what I usually use for hunting. It can easily shoot within 300 meters."

prey."

Zhang Weidao looked at the gun in his hand. Apart from the exaggerated bell mouth and various patterns, this gun was no different from the rifles during World War I. It was already a very high-end weapon. Pulling the bolt revealed a yellow bullet.

, the structure and firing method are the same as the guns on Earth, and it seems that the lethality is quite good.

Zhang Weidao asked how effective this gun was in combat. As a result, Garroen looked embarrassed for a moment. He fumbled and took out a short-handled hammer from his bag, "You still need hammers and axes to fight, and muskets are only used to deal with unarmored animals."

Effective against lightly armored enemies."

Zhang Weidao immediately asked Garon to shoot him, and Garon pulled the trigger on Zhang Weidao's arm. When the bullet hit Zhang Weidao's arm, he paused, then slid away from the side and fell to the ground.

Well, it seems that bullets cannot penetrate the shield of the Golden Armor Talisman.

Garroen put away the musket and said helplessly: "This is the disadvantage of the musket. It cannot cause much damage to heavy armor and magic shields, unless a professional hunter adds magic to the bullets."

"We in the Dark Iron Dwarf tribe have several professional hunters. These marksmen are a nightmare on the battlefield. Enemies who are targeted will only die."

Zhang Weidao said it didn't matter. Although the musket was not very effective, it was still more powerful than the kobold's spear. He immediately asked the kobold blacksmith and Garroen to learn how to make the musket.

Zhang Weidao ordered the chef to prepare a banquet, and then led Jiage and Garon to the jade mine. On the way, he described to them the experience of attacking the spider swarm, which aroused the exclamation of several people accompanying him.

When he heard that Zhang Weidao finally eliminated a giant spider, Garroen interjected: "This giant spider is not easy to deal with. This kind of mutant spider requires a combat team to be dispatched to destroy it." Jiage also said that it was better than before.

Don't disturb the giant spider when trying to clean it, otherwise the whole army may be wiped out.

Soon, several people arrived at the entrance of the mine, and saw a dozen kobold craftsmen climbing up and down the entrance to construct. Zhang Weidao introduced that this was a clever self-destruct mechanism that could fill this section of the hole in an instant.

Jiage and Garon felt their scalps numb for a while, and they quickly hurried away from the construction area. Seeing their scared looks, Zhang Weidao followed them speechlessly. This mechanism had not started loading earth and rocks yet, so there was no danger at all.

Yes.

At this time, the jade mine is building a residential area and mining operations are being carried out. It is worth mentioning that this mine has a high probability of yielding gems, so it is no wonder that it is called a jade mine.

Zhang Weidao looked at the harvest of the miners and saw a small bag of malachite, tiger eye, shadow stone. Both malachite and tiger eye stone are jade-like gemstones, and the shadow stone feels like it contains relatively high negative energy when held in his hand. Jiage looked at it.

Looking at the bag in Zhang Weidao's hand, he said unsurprisingly, "This mine is so easy to produce gems. We used to make a living by selling gems when we were mining here."

Zhang Weidao put the gems into his pocket, and the miners didn't have any objections. After all, there is no pursuit of food and clothing. This time Jiage went to trade mainly to purchase some high-grade minerals, and there was no need for food or anything else.

Several people walked around the excavation area, met with the leader here, Tie Zhi, chatted for a while to understand the situation, and then walked towards the blacksmith area.

When I came to the blacksmith shop, I saw that the blacksmiths were all looking at a helmet. This helmet was designed by Zhang Weidao yesterday. It is a pot helmet with a candle seat in front and a lampshade that can be buckled on it.

.

At that time, Zhang Weidao drew an appearance on a whim, and the kobolds were shocked after seeing it. Several blacksmiths took a few bites of dinner and then returned to the blacksmith shop. It seemed that they stayed up all night just to make this helmet.

Garg was also very excited after seeing the helmet. He ran over and grabbed the helmet. When the blacksmiths saw the leader coming, they continued to make the helmet. Garroon, the master blacksmith, also came up to look at the helmet. After looking at it for a while, he expressed

Very useful when mining.

He had also made a helmet with a headlight before, but the kobolds were unwilling to use it. It seems that the design should be in line with the racial preferences. The kobolds are very fond of candles, and this helmet that uses candle lighting is very popular.

Garroen inspected the blacksmith shop and began to improve several furnaces and crucibles in the blacksmith shop, directing several blacksmiths and a group of apprentices to modify the facilities.

At the same time, it was requested to build an engineering laboratory in a remote corner, where gunpowder and precision accessories would be prepared. It would be far away from the crowd to improve safety and avoid disturbance. Zhang Weidao wrote down the requirements one by one and told Tiezhi when he was about to go back.

Not a problem for the kobolds who are building demons.

Looking at Garroen who was in working mode, Zhang Weidao turned around to look for Jiage and found that he had gone somewhere. He was probably showing off to be the first to wear a candle helmet. After saying hello and farewell to Garroen, Zhang Weidao

I returned to the waterfall and continued to practice my sword. My strength continued to grow in the past two days, and it was no longer as difficult to deal with the impact of the waterfall as it was at first. From time to time, I still swung my sword upward against the current.

In just a few days, the art of epee has been explored to the threshold. Now the sword looks light and airy when swung, but in actual contact, the weapon will either be cut off or split in half.

Zhang Weidao is very satisfied with the results of these days of practicing swordsmanship. He has already mastered the stage of lifting heavy weights and yet taking them lightly. The next step is to practice the epee sword to a state where a feather cannot add mosquitoes and cannot fall. Such a state of the epee sword is terrifying.

Yang Guo's black iron epee in The Legend of the Condor Heroes has reached this level. The weapons in contact with his epee are naturally picked out. In the future, he will be invincible against the weapon masters and sword masters of the orcs.

In this land, it will be much easier to win with the help of talismans.

Time soon arrived at noon. Since there was a celebration banquet at noon, Zhang Weidao returned to the monastery early. At this time, a banquet had been set up inside the wall. Jiage was running around among the banquets to show off his helmet. When he saw Zhang Weidao coming back, he quickly took him

Go to the warehouse.

In the morning, I was busy introducing the dwarf blacksmith, and I forgot to show the supplies I exchanged this time. When I came to the monastery's warehouse, I saw a pile of thorium, mithril, black iron and other metals in the middle. Garg introduced that they were all made of wine.
Chapter completed!
