Lord of Rot

Chapter 205 Dragon Bone Scale Armor
The arrangements for the return were almost the same. After breakfast, Li Qi planned to take some wyvern bones to the blacksmith factory to see if they could be forged. Wyvern bones with strong defense are very Suitable for crafting into armor.

And the weight of bone is lighter than steel, but stronger than steel.

As soon as he left the castle, Li Qi saw the fast blade.

Quickblade was moving fast, and he had recruited youngsters of the right grade for Porcupine Collar, and was ready to start selecting recruits.

The teenagers who knew that they had a chance to become soldiers, no matter what work they were doing today, they all left behind their work and came here.

Because there are too many people to be selected, it can only be done in a small square now.

This led to a group of children of a few years old, as well as some elderly people who liked to watch the scene, watching a play by the side of the road.

The serfs and slave youths couldn't hide their excitement in their eyes.

As long as they can be selected, they can bid farewell to their status as slaves and transform themselves into noble soldiers, wearing beautiful armor and holding sharp weapons to gain glory for the lord.

Even without mentioning glory, the salaries of soldiers belonged to the second rank in the porcupine collar, second only to skilled craftsmen.

The money they earned could also be used to buy out the slavery of their own parents and family members.

This is what Li Qi wanted. He didn't care about the so-called slavery at all. Who wouldn't know that slavery is an old feudal system? It's just that he couldn't control the torrent of this era, and he didn't want to challenge the rights and interests of nobles in this era.

When a noble liberates a slave, first of all, he will not be grateful to the slave, but will be hostile by other nobles.

Li Qi asked himself that his ability to withstand stress was average.

Of course you can buy out your slave status with money.It's even okay to buy the entire Porcupine Ridge without slaves. What Li Qi wants is human resources and not slaves, so the little money deducted from the slaves is not as good as the benefits that production brings to Li Qi.

Even if these serfs and slaves did not buy out their slave status, as Porcupine Ridge grows stronger, Li Qi will eventually let these people out of slave status, of course, not all of them, but little by little , giving people a goal to strive for will make people full of energy.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Li Qi coming, Kuai Ren immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him.

The young slaves stood up straight, with their buttocks pouted, their jaws still working hard, and the expressions on their entire faces were full of strength.

They haven't learned how to stand, they just feel that this way of exerting force will make them look more serious.

Everyone looked at him, and Li Qi had no choice but to go over and say a few words, even though he was just passing by.

"You are all the future of Lord Hao. Whether you want a better life, protect your current life, or gain glory, you all have to rely on your own slaves. You should know Carrot, he is my knight servant , and he was once a slave just like you.”

Li Qi's words stopped short.

The teenagers had piercing eyes, looking at him full of longing and admiration.

It was this lord who allowed the slaves to survive and get a good reward, and he also gave everyone a chance to get rid of their status as slaves.

As long as you work hard, life will get better and better.

This is not available in other territories.

In other places, identity is branded on the body and in the blood. You are a slave, and your children and grandchildren can only be slaves.

No matter how many inspiring words are said, it is far worse to make the truth. Li Qi has already told them with his actions that slaves will be rewarded.

He said to Quick Blade: "If there are excellent ones, you can choose some more, but if they are really bad, it is better not to have enough, than to fill them up."

"Yes!" Quickblade's voice was very loud.

If your body is not strong enough, you can make up for it by training the day after tomorrow, but if your will is not strong enough, absolutely not. Pig teammates are more terrifying than wolf enemies.

Li Qi came to the blacksmith factory with the bones of the Wyvern.

Work at the smithy was still in full swing.

Fortunately, it's autumn, and the weather is not as harsh as summer, but it's still like walking into a stove, and I feel like I'm going to be melted.

Seeing Li Qi, the blacksmiths surrounded him one after another.

Although the submission factory has been assigned a new job recently, after all, there is no need to get so many armors and weapons, and the income will inevitably decrease.

Seeing the lord coming this time, they were of course very excited and hoped for some big business.

Li Qi took out the bone of the Wyvern. It should be a rib, but it looks like a huge curved bone spear.

"What kind of bone is this?"

"It looks like a large beast, is it the big lizard from last time?"

"may be"

These people couldn't figure out what Li Qi was thinking.

Li Qi said: "Is there anyone who has forged a sword, take one here."

Immediately someone brought over a sword.

Li Qi ordered: "Who comes over and tries to chop it twice?"

Although he couldn't figure out what the lord meant, a blacksmith stood up. He was the strongest among the blacksmiths, with his upper body stretched out and his tendons covered.

"I come!"

The sword held by the blacksmith slashed at the bone with all his might.

"when"

There was a crisp impact sound, and then I saw a muscular and strong blacksmith "Ouch".

His two hands holding the sword were trembling, and when he looked at the sword again, it was also buzzing and trembling. He had used too much force just now, and the force returned from the shock was too much for him to bear.

But the bones only left a white mark.

"What a solid bone." The other blacksmiths exclaimed as they looked at the wyvern's bone, which only left a white mark.

"It's really hard, and it's also very light." Another blacksmith picked up the bone and shook it.

They all understood what Li Qi meant by coming here.If this kind of bone is used to make armor, which is both light and strong, wouldn't it be invincible on the battlefield?

"Can it be made into armor?" Li Qi asked.

"My lord," said a blacksmith: "There is no way to calcine bones. If you want to use bones to directly hit a set of plate armor, it may not be realistic."

"If it can be broken, it should be no problem to make scale armor," another blacksmith thought.

Scale armor, also known as Zhajia, is assembled from metal sheets, like fish scales.

The soldiers of the porcupine collar have full body armor, that is, Zhajia.

Iron sheets are the best processed, and they are highly compatible with hydraulic forging hammers.

In terms of defense, the armor is weaker than the plate armor of the knight master. If it is replaced with this light keel, it will not only be more flexible and lighter than the plate armor, but also have higher defense.

"Then try to break it." Li Qi said, "Don't you have a forging hammer? Hit it with a chisel."

"Yes!"

Of course, you can't collect money for the armor that helps the lord, after all, the entire experience factory belongs to the lord.

And everyone has to rush to do this job. Whoever does it well can get a good impression from the lord, get promoted and raise salary, and get rewards at your fingertips.

The bones of the dual wyverns were of last value.

If the processing technology is mature, maybe you can continue to use the bones of the Wyvern to make soldiers' armor.

On the coastal headland, Betty was brought out by Li Qi.He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, which made him feel a little dazed.

She was taken to the castle.

The first thing, Li Qi asked the maids to take a bath for Betty and change her clothes.

He doesn't have any female noble clothes here, so he can only let Betty change into a maid's outfit first.

After changing and washing clothes, Betty came to Richie's side. "When are we going to see that factory you speak of, and study the muskets?"

"Don't worry," Li Qi said, "Wait until you get used to it outside, and I've already ordered the carpenters to make the first batch of gun stocks."

It is very necessary for Betty to come to the ground. He is going to find some blacksmiths and carpenters to conduct research on firearms secretly, but it is difficult to guarantee the safety of firing. Betty needs to assist in the usage and dosage of gunpowder.

In the end, it was because Li Qi was an ordinary person on Earth in his previous life, and he knew the general principles of firearms, but he had never seen or touched them.

Just because of the advantage of talking on paper, he can come up with concepts, but he can't come up with specific production drawings.

Fortunately, I have more capable people under my hands, and if it is really not possible, there are magic to assist.

Alchemy bombs have already been produced, and the guns that can be manipulated and used in war will not be too far away.
