- After successfully passing the inspection of the Changfeng Bead Field Patrol Yaksha, Zhang Tie returned to the Qianlong Hall, had lunch in the Lingtian Courtyard, and after returning to his residence to get the money, he came to the Utensil Courtyard.
When Zhang Tie came to the Artifact Courtyard before, he turned in aquamarine iron ore here. This time, he came to prepare for the first evolution of his ancestors' bloodline and ordered some things in the Artifact Courtyard.
The Utensil Courtyard was extremely noisy. The blast furnace in the courtyard was billowing with heat. There were hundreds of people coming and going, and there was the sound of hammering iron tools everywhere. Some of those people coming and going were senior brothers from Lingtian Courtyard.
"It's not that easy to become a craftsman's apprentice. Do you think this is a big girl doing embroidery?" Zhang Tie had just entered the second door of the artifact courtyard when he heard a rough shout from inside, " Hold the heavy hammer in your hand and maintain the strength and rhythm. Seeing that there is no steam hammer forging machine, when will the strength and rhythm in your hand be as stable and powerful as that machine for twelve consecutive hours? Stable output, when will I teach you something new? It¡¯s not even as good as a machine. You still want to be a rune refiner. You are daydreaming"
"I don't know who is being scolded in the yard. After hearing those fiery words, Zhang Tie also shrank his head secretly. The path of a rune refiner is extremely difficult. What is the path of an alchemist like? The path forward for this top profession is indeed extremely difficult every step of the way.
After entering the peripheral core area of ??the Artifacts Courtyard, Zhang Tie went directly to the weapons shop in the core area. The weapons shop in the Artifacts Courtyard is a five-story attic. The higher you go, the higher the price of the items for sale. Because the things Zhang Tie needed this time were not very high-end, he wandered around the first floor of the weapons shop.
When he was in the Iron Blood Camp, Zhang Tie visited the armory of the Iron Horn Legion twice. Therefore, the whole person has developed some discernment. At this moment, he wandered around the first floor of the weapons shop. He picked up the weapons displayed on the first floor and looked at them. Zhang Tie was secretly surprised. Just these weapons on the first floor. The quality of ordinary weapons is already significantly higher than the lieutenant-level equipment in the armory of the Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire. Everything here is basically high-quality if you get it from the Iron Horn Legion.
The entire first floor of the weapons store. In a space of hundreds of square meters, there are rows of weapon racks. On those weapon racks, there are knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, axes, etc. There were a dazzling array of weapons of all sizes, such as sticks, spears, sticks, crutches, and meteor hammers, and there were some weapons whose names even Zhang Tie couldn't pronounce. Maybe men just like these things, the sight of these shining weapons. Zhang Tie felt his adrenaline surge. His eyes began to shine.
Just when Zhang Tie was looking at a two-meter-long, weird and terrifying war sword on the weapons rack in front of him and recalling his "man's proof", a man had already walked up to Zhang Tie.
"Junior brother, do you want to buy weapons?"
Zhang Tie turned his head and saw that it was a senior fellow from Lingtian Academy, "Exactly, I want to buy something here!"
"Haha. Take your time, junior brother. If junior brother is rich, there are better quality products to choose from upstairs. Each weapon on the second floor is more than 100 gold coins. The weapons on the third floor are more than 500 gold coins. 4 The ones on the first floor cost more than 3,000 gold coins, and the ones on the fifth floor are all rune weapons. It¡¯s best not to go up to look at them. If you go up and look at the prices of those weapons, you will just feel that life is boring"
Hearing what this senior said was interesting, Zhang Tie burst out laughing, "Does senior here also want to advance to the level of rune refiner?"
"It's easier said than done" The young man talking to Zhang Tie grimaced, "I'm not even a craftsman's apprentice now. I just worked as a hammer in an iron processing workshop for half a year. After barely passing the test, I was sent here. While getting familiar with and feeling the quality, heat, materials, forging techniques, design ideas and styles of every weapon on the first floor, I help people look at the shop, it¡¯s like using waste!¡±
"Senior brother is too modest. How many people want to come here to see the shop but they are not qualified!"
"By the way, junior brother, what kind of weapons do you want to buy? Senior brother can also provide you with detailed information!"
"I want to see the flying spear or javelin here first!"
"Throwing weapons? How about coming over here and taking a look at these items" The senior brother who was guarding the first floor of the weapons shop took Zhang Tie directly to another weapons rack. On this weapons rack, there were There were only a few flying spears. Zhang Tie casually picked up a flying spear and looked at it. He tried the feel and the familiar feeling appeared again. The quality of these flying spears here was definitely something Zhang Tie had never seen before. The best thing is that the undulating spear body, which is designed based on aerodynamic principles, is full of an indescribable beauty.
"Brother, how do you sell the flying spears here?"
"The flying spears displayed here are all?Sold in groups, each group has 9 flying spears, equipped with a backpack-type metal spear bag, with a total weight of 116 kilograms, powerful, and the price is 34 gold coins! Apart from these, look at this" The senior brother who was guarding the weapons shop said as he casually took a short flying spear, and with a shake of his hand, the flying spear, which was only about thirty centimeters long, suddenly became It became more than one meter long. "This is a telescopic and hidden flying spear. It is more convenient to carry. It can be easily carried on the body when not in use. When in use, just shake it and the telescopic spear body will come out. There are 42 flying spears in a set, suitable for use against enemies in short distances! "
Zhang Tie took it over and took a look. The structure of this telescopic flying spear is indeed clever and it is very convenient to carry on the body. But these are not his goals.
After placing the retractable and hidden flying spear on the weapon rack, Zhang Tie asked, "Brother, can I order a flying spear here?"
"Of course, as long as junior brother can tell you the requirements, the utensils shop can make them for you!"
"Okay, look, I want to order a batch of special flying spears. The specific requirements are as follows" Zhang Tie took an ordinary flying spear and explained to this senior brother about the flying spears he had customized. The request comes.
The flying spears ordered by Zhang Tie were divided into many groups, one group of normal-sized flying spears, then one group of flying spears that were one inch shorter than the normal-sized flying spears, and two groups of flying spears that were two inches shorter than the normal-sized flying spears. A group of flying spears that are three inches shorter than normal-sized flying spears, and so on, each group of flying spears is one inch shorter than the flying spears of the previous group. In the end, the flying spear Zhang Tie ordered was only three to five inches long - or in other words, something of this size could no longer be called a flying spear, because this thing was much shorter than the head of a spear.
The senior brother in the weapon shop listened with some astonishment. He had never encountered such a strange custom-made request, but he would not ask what Zhang Tie wanted to use these things for. Everyone in Lingtian Courtyard had one. Everyone's secret. Being too curious is not a good thing.
"Junior brother, if this is the case, you will need to order at least forty sets of flying spears. The price of ordering so many flying spears is not cheap!"
"Well, I know it's not cheap. But the number of flying spears I require for each group is six. This should save some money."
"This can indeed save one-third of the money. Come with me. I will calculate for you how much it will cost!"
Zhang Tie and the senior brother came to the counter on the first floor of the weapons shop. The senior brother took out a pen and paper and recorded the things Zhang Tie ordered on the paper and pen, and then wrote the calculations on the paper. stand up.
"Junior brother, if we want to meet your customization requirements, we need at least 418 gold coins!"
When I heard 418 gold coins. Zhang Tie also thought for a moment, and this amount of money was indeed not a small amount for a newcomer to Lingtian Academy. Now you have to live by yourself carefully. I remember when I was fishing for aquamarine iron ore. I only have a few silver coins after working so hard every day, so even if I have money now, I can't spend it carelessly.
"Brother, can you save a little more?"
"This flying spear needs to be made of a special alloy. The material fee plus the manual fee plus some necessary costs and profits are already the minimum."
"Well, these items of mine are just consumables. They don't need to use special alloys. They just need to use steel with higher durability. Can this be cheaper?"
"That's it!" The senior brother wrote on the paper again, "If you use ordinary high-strength steel, you can save a lot of money. Let's see Then you only need 189 gold coins! You really Are you sure you only need to use high-strength steel? Then these things may be damaged within a few years!¡±
A few years, haha, should be enough for me. It shouldn¡¯t take that long for me to evolve my ancestor¡¯s bloodline this time.
"I'm sure!" Zhang Tie nodded.
"You have to pay in full before booking something here. Have you brought any money?"
"Bring it!" Zhang Tie readily paid 189 gold coins.
The senior brother issued a receipt to him, "You can come and pick up these things in three days!"
Zhang Tie didn¡¯t expect that he could get the things he ordered in three days. It was too fast.
After leaving the Artifacts Academy, Zhang Tie returned to the Academic Affairs Building of Lingtian Academy, determined the required cultural courses he would study in the first year, and paid the money.
The cultural courses Zhang Tie chose were "General History of Human Race" - "Summary of Continental Humanities" - "Geography" - "Magna Carta" - "Family System and the Wealth of Nations" - these cultural courses are Zhang Tie's weaknesses. , which is also something that is impossible to learn in the compulsory education stage in Black Flame City.
These fewThe courses are all cultural compulsory courses that can be learned without paying gold coins and without family contribution points. After paying the gold coins, Zhang Tie can go to the classroom of Lingtian Academy to listen to the teacher's lectures at any time in the following year. content of these courses. For each course, Lingtian Academy arranges for three teachers to teach. The teaching time and teaching progress of these teachers are all staggered. You can freely choose to study in any teacher's class according to your own time schedule.
It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t go to class. At any time within a year, as long as you feel that you have passed a certain subject, you can apply for the exam at any time. If you cannot pass the exam within one year, then, sorry, if you want to retake this course next year to qualify for the exam, you will have to pay again. All the resources in Lingtian Courtyard are not for your unlimited use.
After getting the course schedule of these cultural courses and his exam serial number, Zhang Tie finally felt like starting to study in Lingtian Academy and officially becoming a member of Lingtian Academy.
After finishing the work at Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie ran to the dock to complete today's release. After returning from the release, he had dinner at the restaurant in Lingtian Courtyard and returned to Songtao Pavilion. Zhang Tie received a letter from his family. first letter.
A week ago, Zhang Tie's sister-in-law finally gave birth to a fat boy to Zhang Tie's eldest brother. The fat boy weighed four pounds and six taels when he was born. The first person in the third generation of Zhang Tie's family finally came to this world. , 16-year-old Zhang Tierong was promoted to uncle, and the family was very happy. Zhang Tie's father named the fat boy Zhang Chengan.
ChenganChengancan you really Chengan? Thinking of the human jihad that was about to break out at some point, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that his responsibilities were much heavier.
The next three days were uneventful. Knowing that he already had a nephew, Zhang Tie worked harder and worked hard every day to improve his strength and knowledge.
In the morning, an hour before the girls arrived at the Changfeng Pearl Field, Zhang Tie, as the patrol yaksha, had to rush to the pearl field first to check the sea conditions near the pearl field and drive away sharks and other dangerous marine creatures. , if you can't drive it away, try to kill it without bleeding.
After the clearing was completed, Zhang Tie and several other patrol yaksha wandered in the peripheral waters of the pearl field, forming several underwater safety lines and mobile checkpoints in the pearl field. This was a very hard job, and the patrol yaksha You spend more than ten hours in the water every day. During this period, in addition to being able to float to the surface to take a breath every once in a while, even resting must be done underwater. As for eating and drinking, that is completely inappropriate. possible.
The work of patrolling the yaksha must be done after the pearl divers and girls in the pearl field have completely gone ashore in the evening, confirmed that there is no one in the pearl field, and can only come back after seeing the safety light hanging on the top of the lighthouse on the castle next to the pearl field. .
To be able to do this job well, water quality, physical strength, willpower, and sense of responsibility are all indispensable.
The day after Zhang Tie met Liu Xi and they met for a drink, Zhang Tie met several friends of senior brother Liu Xi at the dinner table. They were all about the same age and were all in Ling. In Tianyuan, we can talk to each other very well, and we became familiar with each other after a meal. After knowing that Zhang Tie was already a patrolling Yaksha, everyone admired Zhang Tie's aquatic nature. Through the words of these new friends, Zhang Tie also learned more about the situation and various rules of Lingtian Courtyard.
At least Zhang Tie only officially heard about the existence of a Qianlong Ranking in Lingtian Court at this time. There are four rankings under the Qianlong Ranking, the Qianlong Wealth Ranking, the Qianlong Combat Power Ranking, the Qianlong Family Contribution Ranking and the Qianlong Ranking. Anyone who can be at the top of any of the four lists in the Long Tiangong Ranking will immediately be reused by the family and become a unique figure once he leaves Qianlong Hall. These four lists are truly the steps to ascend to the heavens in Lingtian Academy. The goal of all those who are selected to study in Qianlong Hall and Lingtian Academy is to hope that one day they can see their names on these four lists.
The people whose names are currently on these four lists are all above level seven, the most outstanding people in Lingtian Academy.
"Where can I see these four lists?"
"Haha, junior brother has just come to Lingtian Academy and is not familiar with it yet. These four lists can be seen in Qinyuntang. Qinyuntang is the information distribution center of Lingtian Academy and exchanges items and various information with everyone. place." Liu Xi replied.
Zhang Tie secretly wrote down those lists and the names of Qinyuntang, thinking about when he would go and see the famous figures in Lingtian Academy.
Speaking of the list, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered the two senior brothers he met on the boat when he first came to Qianlong Island by boat, who were chasing and killing the water-walking sea monster Deng Tong. Those two senior brothers had different styles. It was impressive. Zhang Tie guessed that maybe those two people hadProbably someone on Qianlong's combat power list.
¡¡
On the third day, Zhang Tie came back from the pier to release the yaksha from the errand of patrolling the sea, and came to the Artifact Courtyard. The long and short flying spears he ordered had been prepared, and three large boxes of those flying spears were packed (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
