my age of magic

Chapter 1109 212. Barbarian Heavy Crossbow

Hearing that I was going to buy a large number of scrapped bed crossbow bodies, the weapon dealer took me away from the black market after a little thought.

Originally, I wanted to say hello to Mr. Billy, but the black market was too big. I went around the fountain to look for him, but I didn't see him.

Immediately, the arms dealer took us to an abandoned manor in the north of the city in a magic caravan.

At this time, it began to rain in the sky, and the gray clouds peeled off from the clouds, drifting downward like mist, and then condensed into bean-sized raindrops in the air, falling from the top of the head.

A sudden rain caused the temperature in the air to drop sharply.

The climate in the Black Forest area of ​​the Hierro plane is warm and humid, and there are often continuous rainy days.

The sun on the plane of Hierro is blocked by the clouds all the year round, and the sun is rarely seen in a year. The residents here like to build houses with stones. Although there is an endless black forest outside the city, the people here People seldom build wooden houses, and temporary residences in the forest are made of wood. The main reason is that wooden houses are easy to mold and insects here. Mushrooms are born.

Three hundred bed crossbows without the chassis supports and wooden wheels were placed neatly in an abandoned manor in the inner city, covering the entire lawn. Each bed crossbow was wrapped with a layer of canvas and felt, and the outside was covered with The straw ropes are tightly bound to prevent water vapor from penetrating into the entire bed crossbow. If the body of the crossbow is deformed, it will be difficult to guarantee the original accuracy of the bed crossbow.

The rainwater 'crackled' on the canvas and felt that sheltered the rain, flowed along the canvas on the lawn, gathered on the lawn to form streams, and flowed into the low-lying cistern of the manor.

The weapons dealer lifted the hood on his head and let the cold rain hit his head. He reached out and touched his face fiercely, with a look of surprise in his brown pupils, and said to me: "These beds Do you want to buy all the crossbows?"

I nodded.

The weapons merchant said: "When the Duke of Samoyed built the defense line of Tanton City, he also hoped that the guard posts could pass through these bed crossbows to block the Nebru spiderman's footsteps."

Hearing what he said, I finally understand why there are so many abandoned bed crossbows here. Everything was prepared when the Duke of Samoyed built the defense line of Tanton City, just like the whole stack in the Trume stronghold The whole stack of crossbow arrows, the city head is covered with bed crossbows, and there are also a large number of ordnance and bed crossbows stored in the mountainside, all of which are prepared because the Duke of Samoyed wants to build a solid line of defense.

The weapons dealer continued: "But it turns out that his decision was wrong. He spent a lot of money on the Yero plane to manufacture a large number of military bed crossbows and crossbow bolts, but these ordnance are useless at all."

The weapon dealer is right. These bed crossbows did not help the Duke of Samoyed to win the war. The main reason is that the Duke of Samoyed underestimated the ability of the spider warriors to charge on the battlefield. I dealt with the spider warriors in the Trum area After nearly a month, I got to know the spider warriors well, and I knew the weaknesses exposed by these bed crossbow stations when fighting.

The arms dealer stretched out his hand to untie the hemp rope tied on the oilcloth, exposing the crossbow arm inside to the rain. The crossbow arm was smeared with a layer of animal fat, and the raindrops fell on the crossbow arm and quickly exploded into countless small water droplets.None of these bed crossbows were stringed, and he said to me: "The plane of Hierro is too humid, and the bowstrings twisted from deer tendons will not be usable after being damp, so these bowstrings are usually stored in the magic sealing box, and they can only be used in battle. It was only installed on the bed crossbow before."

He raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and then said: "It is undeniable that these bed crossbows are very lethal to those spider warriors, but the frequency of the crossbow arrows on this large equipment is too slow, basically two rounds After shooting, the spider fighters will rush to the bottom of the stronghold. Because the pitch angle limits the downward adjustment angle, this kind of big guy can't shoot at the enemies below the city. Infantry guards."

The weapons dealer finally warned me: "So... Your Excellency the young magician, I must remind you not to place all your hopes on these clumsy bed crossbows. It takes at least [-] breaths to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow with a winch. Time, its rate of fire is too slow, unless there is an absolute superiority in force, it will not help you win the war."

Unexpectedly, the purpose of such a weapon dealer who sells second-hand discarded bed crossbows is to make me think carefully about buying bed crossbows, and worry that I will rashly go to the battlefield to die.

This noble businessman is really a gentleman. I smiled at him, and stretched out my hand to check on the bed crossbow he had removed the rainproof cloth. Everything was available, and it was well sealed. I tore off the canvas on the crossbow and exposed it to the rain.

The entire bed crossbow was covered with grease, and the arms of the crossbow were tightly wrapped with hemp rope. It was well maintained and looked completely new.

I stretched out my hand to caress the smooth and delicate body of the crossbow, and exclaimed, "It's really a good crossbow."

Kalancuo and Katerina stood beside me and did not leave, but Justus took out a dagger, stepped into the bed crossbow array, picked out a few bed crossbows at random, and put the rain-proof canvas on them Cut off the rope on the bed, and then checked the bed crossbows inside, untied the ropes of three bed crossbows in a row, and saw that the bed crossbows inside were all of the same quality.

I said to the weapons dealer: "My people haven't arrived in Tanton City yet, so can these bed crossbows be stored here for a few days?"

The arms dealer said straightforwardly: "Of course, it doesn't matter how long you want to keep it. This place was originally an abandoned manor."

Then he suggested to me: "When I use this yard to store these ordnance, I will hire some soldiers from the adventure group to help me take care of these bed crossbows here. I suggest that you also hire some people from the mercenary group. I know some A reputable adventure group, if necessary, I can introduce them to you."

I smiled noncommittally, and didn't answer his words, and the weapons dealer didn't mention it again.

Then we braved the rain to count these bed crossbows. Unexpectedly, there were nearly 340 bed crossbows placed in the entire abandoned manor, but only 70 of them remained in good condition. defective product.

Then we hid in the warehouse of the manor to discuss the price of these bed crossbows.

A complete bed crossbow costs about [-] magic crystals in the imperial capital, but the bed crossbows I bought do not need a base and wooden wheels.

This kind of bed crossbow can be seen everywhere in Tanton City, and the ones in front of me are at best slightly better preserved.They picked up these damaged bed crossbows that were abandoned in various outposts, and then asked craftsmen to piece together these waste products and assemble them into some complete bed crossbows. Make the price very low.

340 The seven bed crossbows were sold to me at the price of five magic spar each. These bed crossbows cost me [-] magic spar in total. I counted [-] magic spar from my purse, and then He directly handed the bag of magic spar to the weapon dealer. At this moment, the weapon dealer put away his smile and meticulously counted the magic spar in the money bag.

After a quarter of an hour, he counted the magic spar one by one, smiled at me and said: "If you want to buy other weapons, you can find me in the black market. I also have catapults, crossbow arrows, and siege vehicles." etc!"

"Hehe, we have no other ideas for the time being." I smiled and said to the arms dealer.

"Okay, Your Excellency the Magician, then I wish you good luck, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, the weapon merchant left the manor with two bags of magic spar and his men.

The four of me, Kalanzo, Katerina, and Justus, carefully checked the inside and outside of the manor, and after confirming that the arms dealer had withdrawn all his people, we ran to the gate of the manor in the rain. Seal the door firmly with an ice wall, and then open the portal to Xinliu Valley in this warehouse, let Kalancuo call out a team of orc warriors, and let these orc warriors carry all the bed crossbows against the rain. Enter Xinliu Valley.

Katerina, Kalancuo, and Justus also followed me into Xinliu Valley. Katerina came up behind me and asked me curiously: "Jijia, why are you buying so many bed crossbows?" ?”

Facing Katerina's question, I explained: "I want to equip these bed crossbows for those barbarian slaves."

I caressed a bed crossbow with the canvas removed, gestured on the bed crossbow, and said to Katerina: "Look, I envisage installing a huge handle on the bed crossbow, uh, and A handle should be added here, those barbarians can easily hold these bed crossbows, I hope that every barbarian slave can carry this kind of military crossbow on his back in the future."

Kalantso asked me: "Do you want to convert these bed crossbows into giant heavy crossbows? For barbarians."

I replied: "That's right, otherwise why would I buy so many!"

As I said that, I happened to see a group of barbarian slaves standing in the square of the underground warehouse. The leader of the barbarians was arguing with Bernd about something. I walked over and found out that the barbarians asked again to add some meat to their lunch. Food, but about these things, it is obviously not up to Bernd. At this time, the barbarians saw Kalantso and quickly surrounded them. They also knew that Kalantso was the real queen of Xinliu Valley. On the issue of eating meat Only Kalancuo is right.

I beckoned the barbarian leader to come over, pointed to the bed crossbow on the ground and said to him: "Take it up and try it out, and put it in a flat shooting posture."

Seeing the savage looking at me in a daze, he didn't understand what I said at all.

I turned around and untied the crossbow on the back of an orc warrior. The crossbow carried by the orc warrior was also a standard weapon of the army, but this kind of crossbow was many times smaller than the bed crossbow.Even so, when I held up the crossbow with both hands, although it was a little difficult, I made the movement out.

I held the handle of the machine gun and the crossbow with one hand, and raised the body of the crossbow with the other hand, posing a pose to the barbarian.

That tall savage followed my actions and dragged the heavy bed crossbow in his hands. Seeing him lift up the bed crossbow with a relaxed face, then the next step...just change the bed crossbow into a giant hand-held heavy crossbow, This is half done.

Justus and I took out a crossbow string from a magic sealing box, and with the help of the dwarf Bernd, we fixed the bow string on the bed crossbow.

I let the barbarian slave try to draw the bowstring.

The barbarian slave looked down at the bed crossbow in his right hand, put three fingers of his left hand on the bowstring, and pulled hard, only to hear the bed crossbow make a 'creak' sound, and he didn't know how big the barbarian slave was. Strength, human warriors can only pull the crossbowstring with a winch, but the barbarian slave easily pulled it with only three fingers.

……

The current situation in Tanton City is not suitable for the construction of the town of Trume, so I only stayed in Tanton City for one day, and then returned to the imperial capital with Katerina.

The tauren Luka 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 soldiers from other adventure groups. Silently waiting for the opportunity to fight in Tanton City.

After I returned to the imperial capital, the first thing I did was to go to the teaching office of the Royal Academy of Magic to sell my leave. Freeman, the dean of teaching, personally signed my letter of leave, but obviously, he very tactfully stated that I was absent from class this semester for a while. There are a lot, if you want to meet the final exam smoothly, then you have to listen carefully to the class.

About a week after leaving the imperial capital, the magic teachers in the Royal Academy of Magic saw me again, showing helplessness on their faces.

After I finished the magic class somewhat absent-mindedly, I took Katerina to a carpenter's workshop, and gave the pattern of the wooden handle I drew to the master carpenter, and asked them to make 340 seven handles and holders. Hand, with the grip and rest, these bed crossbows need to be further modified. There must be a mechanism that can be pulled with one hand, and it can be regarded as a giant hand-held heavy crossbow. However, this carpenter's workshop is completely With this ability, I explained my requirements in detail with the workshop boss, and the matter was settled.

Afterwards, I ran to Alia's house again, and I happened to see little Ella here, and Alia invited her to play at the manor. When little Ella saw me, she chased me and asked where I was going these days. Where did I go, I haven't seen my people for several days.

The black iron armor of the Nacoma has been stored in the warehouse of the airport town by Aliya, and I came here this time to get the key to the warehouse.

After transporting these black iron armors back to Xinliu Valley, let these barbarian slaves try them on. Unexpectedly, the Nacoma and the barbarians are about the same size. The barbarians wear these black iron armors, a little loose, but as long as they are The straps on these armors can be worn on the body by tightening them. The only disadvantage of these armors is that they only have the upper body.

I also need to buy some black iron ingots and go to the smithy to customize a batch of lower body armor, greaves, heavy boots and other armor.
