Chapter 16 The Blacksmith and the Iron Armor
Spider eggs (not hatched): After use, the 0-level army can be hatched - spider cubs (juvenile stage), which requires 20 copper coins and a portion of meat.
Usage requirements: None.
Seeing that there were not only two mighty men behind Li Wei, but also dozens of spider eggs that could be used, even Zhang San, who had worked as a cavalry guard under the former magistrate, could not help but be stunned. You must know that the other party had only left the village for more than half a day!
"I destroyed the spider nest that hurts people, and I smashed the remaining spider eggs. These are the only ones left, but I'm not sure if the spider cubs of level 0 will be useful to the village."
When they were there, Li Wei saw that spider eggs could hatch three kinds of spiders, but after they destroyed the nest and took the spider eggs into their hands, they could only hatch 0-level cubs.
However, Li Wei had no regrets. Even if he was given a big ugly spider for free, he had to consider it. It was so scary!
Zhang San nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Enough, enough, sir, I will ask the village to prepare you the corresponding reward later. I wonder how much you plan to bid?"
If it is an ordinary monster, he will never dare to raise even a cub that is less than a month old, but the ones in the eggs are different. Whoever hatches them will be loyal to whom. The big spider is ugly, but its combat power is not vague at all!
Li Wei shook his head: "Forget it, this time, a militia brother died in a battle. I feel sorry for it. Part of these spider eggs are used as rent and food expenses for me and my brothers when they were in the village, and the other part is used as pensions."
Unlike the Star soldiers, although the Star Generals will not die in battle, they also need food and water as supplies, and they also need rest to ensure combat effectiveness. They are more like real humans.
Zhang San said before that he had included his own rent and food, but Li Wei was embarrassed to let the other party provide it for free. As for the pension or something, he just mentioned it casually and sold his favors.
Zhang San was immediately moved, then shook his head and sighed: "Sir, everyone in this chaotic world is ready to die, you don't need to do this. As for these two adults, since they will also contribute to the protection of the village, it is appropriate for us to provide food and accommodation, and we will definitely not give you less money for spider eggs."
Although it was the first time we met, Zhang San subconsciously felt that these two men were definitely not easy to mess with.
"In this case, why not let's change the way. Is there a blacksmith in the village? Both of my subordinates need some weapons and equipment. Spider eggs will give you, and you can help me get two weapons."
Zhang San was also stunned, but then he nodded repeatedly: "Some, Wang Blacksmith has been in our village for more than 30 years and has worked for more than 30 years. He has always been responsible for building the weapons in the village."
Thirty years? That can be regarded as a very experienced blacksmith. Li Wei heard from Zhang San that in this chaotic and dangerous world, let alone blacksmiths who have worked for thirty years, it would be great if ordinary people could live for more than thirty years on average.
There is no way, ordinary humans do not have much competitiveness in this world. Compared with those monsters, their individual strength is not strong and their reproductive speed is far inferior.
From birth to growth to combat effectiveness, it takes at least fifteen to twenty years for humans, but for those monsters, such as the seafood man and the big spider that Li Wei encountered, they may be enough for a few months, and they all reproduce in one nest after another!
So Li Wei was very puzzled at the beginning, why humans could survive? If it were exactly what Zhang San said, humans should have become extinct long ago.
Although Zhang San also said that the demons and ghosts in this world are not united, and they are often warring each other. Unlike humans, they do not have a unified force, so humans can continue to exist.
But Li Wei did not believe it all. It is not enough to rely on these alone. Zhang San probably just has a low status and little knowledge, so he didn't know that humans must have magic weapons for survival, such as some powerful heroes or super-high-level troops to transfer to buildings?
Zhang San did not brag for the old blacksmith who had never met before. As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, Li Wei knew that the old man had two brushes, because in addition to the farm tools and ordinary weapons hanging all over the wall, there were also two pairs of iron armor hanging on the wall!
This thing is not something that ordinary rural blacksmiths can make. You should know that even Zhang San, the strongest indigenous people in the village, only has half a pair of iron armor and a heart protection mirror. It is said that he was rewarded when he was appointed as a cavalry guard for the county magistrate.
As for other ordinary militias, many of them can’t even get enough leather armor!
Zhang San's surprise seemed to be no less than Li Wei: "Master Wang, when will you be able to make iron armor?"
The old man with gray hair and scarred naked arms smiled slightly: "It's what happened today, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up with the fierce battle with the Siren before. These guys are..."
Since the other party entered the room, his attention was completely attracted.
The two men were definitely not ordinary people in terms of momentum, but they stood by the young man in the middle, and they looked like guards in their movements, which made him even more curious about the other person's identity.
When did such a person come to Zhangjia Village?
"Ah, this is Lord Li Wei and his subordinate. He just came to the village yesterday and saved our village." Zhang San briefly introduced Li Wei to Wang Blacksmith, and also mentioned Li Wei's needs.
"A serrated knife is not difficult, just give me a day, but a good halberd requires some special materials, which I don't have here for the time being."
Li Wei shook his head gently: "No need to get it in one step, just let them have a handy weapon to use."
What he was interested in was not the weapon itself, but the skill amplification effect of the two of them. It doesn’t matter if the weapons almost became stronger. After their strength became stronger, they could naturally go to other places to buy them. He didn’t think that the blacksmith in a small village could create any real boutique!
Wang Blacksmith pondered for a moment: "Is that true? Then I'll stay up all night and you can come and pick it up tomorrow morning."
Li Wei nodded: "How to sell iron armor?"
Now he and the two star generals do not have any armor, which is equivalent to running naked, and their defense is much worse than that of the star soldiers. This is not beneficial to the battle. After all, they cannot dodge all the enemy's attacks forever, and they will definitely be beaten if they go to the battlefield.
"Eight taels of silver per pair." Wang Blacksmith said loudly when he came up, but when he saw Zhang San around him wink at him and signaled him to lower the price, he looked embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and changed his mouth.
"Just treat it as I thank you, the village savior, for your work in vain, you will be worth five taels of silver!"
Zhang San next to him immediately showed a look of relief. Compared to buying a bunch of food with just a few copper plates, the price of armor is hundreds of times different, but iron armor is indeed worth the price, and Wang Blacksmith has invested a lot.
Five taels of silver? Those two pairs are ten taels?
Li Wei didn't think so. In order to hire him to protect the village, Zhang San gave him ten taels and bought two pairs of iron armor, each of the two star generals and one pair!
Standard Iron Armor (normal): Defense 3-6.
(Forged by ordinary blacksmiths, it is less likely to wear)
After buying it, Li Wei lost money, so he simply took out the black agate he had obtained from the undead wizard and took it out: "Do you know who will need them? In addition, I also harvested some giant spider silk, and I don't know who to look for to make clothes?"
"Do you need to find someone to make a cloth first, and then make it, and you can leave it to me or Zhang San." Wang Blacksmith responded casually. He still felt a little painful now. If he sold it to someone else, he would definitely make several taels of silver more...
But when he accidentally saw a few pieces of black agate, his eyes lit up instantly: "This seems to contain special energy!"
"Oh, it seems you need them? Then, according to their value, is it enough to give me a pair of iron armor?"
Zhang San is responsible for the weapons, and all he pays is just those useless spider eggs. If he put in three iron armor, he can now be considered as both offensive and defensive.
Wang Blacksmith thought for a moment: "Is iron armor? It's enough, and there will be a little left."
Li Wei waved his hand: "Then let it be, let's just treat the rest as your hard work."
Anyway, with new weapons and equipment, there are many opportunities to get rich outside, so there is no need to take advantage of the other party.
Wang Blacksmith's expression suddenly became much better. He nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, sir. I will stay up some night tonight and I will guarantee you to use it tomorrow morning!"
