Lord of the Earth

Chapter 90 The Carpenter Emperor, Zhu Youxiao (Silver)

However, after the dragon boat came ashore, before they had any contact with anyone, the eyes of the four people in Xia Tian were first attracted by an item.

Those are three water conservancy facilities about ten meters in length, made entirely of wood, and look like a dragon crawling on the ground.

At this time, the operation of "crash, clatter" is continuously transporting the river water into the territory for drinking, bathing and watering!

Well, this is... a keel waterwheel?
[keel waterwheel (silver)]

【Grade】every level

【Characteristics】Water drawing efficiency +300%
[Explanation] The extremely important water-drawing farm tool in Chinese history began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was improved by Ma Jun in the Three Kingdoms period. Because its shape is like a keel, it is named "keel waterwheel"!
And what surprised Xia Tian was not the appearance of keel waterwheels in this human camp, but because of the quality of these keel waterwheels.

"It turned out to be a silver quality wooden utensil?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised.

You must know that in the absence of "touching stones into gold", there is a certain relationship between the quality of the item and the skill of the maker.

"Proficient" level skills create white, and "proficient" level skills create green... Silver quality, generally speaking, requires "master level" skills to produce.

So there is actually a master carpenter in this human camp?

Suddenly Xia Tian was excited.

You should know that among the so-called "eight folk craftsmen" in ancient times, the status of carpenters can be said to be unique, ranking first.

Because most of the ancient houses were made of wood, in addition to mastering the skills of making furniture and tools, carpenters are also good at building buildings.

Before Xia Tian, ​​he was worried that he could not rely on manpower to build high-quality buildings in his territory except for consuming luck. If he could recruit this master carpenter, he might be able to solve this problem!
"Strange, they put these things by the river, aren't they afraid of monsters in the water destroying them?"

At this time, Xia Tian heard Hua Rong next to him say something doubtful.

Yesterday, when the summer was "boiling the eagle", Hua Rong led people to build a canal to divert water to irrigate the spiritual fields made of bone fertilizer.

As a result, it was immediately destroyed by monsters in the water.

And if this "keel waterwheel" draws water from the water, the continuous movement will be greater than that of the canal, which will inevitably attract the attention and attacks of some aquatic creatures!
"Whoa..."

I don't know if Hua Rong opened his mouth today.

Just after he finished speaking, a seventh-order double-headed water snake with a size of more than ten meters and thick thighs suddenly emerged in the river, as if it felt the movement of "pumping water", and a faint green light radiated from its two eyes. Move in the direction of a keel waterwheel!

"No, there are monsters in the water attracted by the movement of the keel waterwheel..."

"It shouldn't be a problem, after all, there are..."

However, when this happened, the people in the camp didn't seem too anxious, but looked at the river with anticipation.

And after listening to their words, Xia Tian also activated the "Power of Laughing Wind" curiously, a pair of eyes burned with golden red flame light, and immediately saw the situation in the water.

On the left and right sides of a keel waterwheel below, there were actually two people wearing armor, one holding two axes in his hand, and the other holding a big knife, wooden puppet generals similar to real people!
The two puppet generals themselves didn't move much, like sculptures.

But when the seventh-order blue-eyed double-headed water snake approached and passed between the two, it wanted to attack the sounding keel waterwheel.

Click!

A soft sound.

It seems that some mechanism is activated instantly.

The two wooden puppet generals seemed to come alive suddenly, their bodies spun rapidly, and the axes and knives in their hands swung violently, superimposing a shadow of swords and axes in the passage.

More importantly, when the weapons of the two puppet generals were wielding, there was also a very precise move coordination.

"Puff puff……"

So much so that the blue-eyed double-headed monster snake of the seventh rank in the water was caught off guard and cut into pieces of snake meat at once, a large amount of blood gushed out, and it couldn't die anymore!
【Water Puppet · Military General · Cheng Yaojin (Golden)】

【Level】every level

[Characteristics] Strength and flexibility +50%
[Description] The ancient military generals battle puppet made of wood can explode very powerful lethality with the help of water flow and mechanism drive!

"There is such a thing, a battle puppet driven by water?"

"And, it's still of golden quality!"

The expression on Xia Tian's face couldn't help but startled.

Originally, he thought that this place should be a master carpenter, which is already a very high guess.

Because such as "carpenter", which involves a wide range of life skills, it is more difficult to achieve the master difficulty than most combat skills.

As a result, a wooden puppet of golden quality was found under the water...

Could it be that he is not a master carpenter, but a master carpenter?
"My lord? But I'm interested in the water puppet under the keel waterwheel..."

A rough voice sounded.

Xia Tian raised his head and saw a shiny silver boning knife hanging on his belt, a man with big arms and round waist who looked like a butcher came up first.

"Yes, these puppets are extremely exquisitely made, and they can automatically kill monsters in the water, which is really an eye-opener!"

Xia Tian's eyes stopped on the knife hanging on his waist, and he said with a smile.

Because the Eye of Insight just looked at too many people at once, so that the mind was a bit exhausted, Xia Tian didn't directly "consume luck" to see the other party's detailed information!
But since he was the first to come up to contact him, it should be someone who can speak in this territory.

And Xia Tian also noticed that the other party came from Zhao Yun who was leading the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Perhaps, it is possible to know the situation of this territory and Zhao Yun from the mouth of this "butcher".

Of course, Xia Tian was really interested in the "Water Play Puppet". You must know that on the way here, the dragon boat was attacked by a morphing octopus beast commanded by the crown murloc.

Due to the lack of ability to fight in the water, Xia Tian could only take the octopus meat "tributed" from the other party and leave by boat, taking a step forward.

But if the territory wants to develop further, it must rely on the water source of the river, so Xia Tian feels that there will be a battle with those murlocs.

If the territory can manufacture a large number of puppets that can fight in water, it will not only reduce casualties, but also increase the odds of winning a lot, which is of great significance!
"Hey, this water play puppet is all handcrafted by Carpenter Zhu, and it is indeed fiercer than a real person when fighting."

"If it weren't for those monsters that looked like lizards the day before yesterday, they came from the land... It would not be so easy to get close to us!"

"Chef Ding" with a shiny silver boning knife hanging on his waist pointed at "Carpenter Zhu" who also came up beside him.

"Well, so young?"

After seeing the carpenter who made the golden quality general puppet, Xia Tian couldn't help being taken aback.

One must know that this person's age looks to be in his early 20s, which is similar to that of him who just graduated from university, and his skin is even more delicate and tender. He really doesn't look like the "master carpenter" in his mind.

Xia Tian couldn't help "consuming luck", check the other party's detailed information!
【Zhu Youxiao (Silver)】

[Level] Tier [-] (Soul Limit)

[Talent] Carpenter Emperor (able to quickly grasp the production principle of a wooden utensil through contact and appreciation, and imitate it)
[Characteristics] Architectural Genius (the house made is more exquisite and comfortable, and the effect of the characteristic is improved), puppet show (like puppet play, the puppet produced has higher spirituality and combat effectiveness)
[Skills] Carpentry skills (master), equestrian skills (expert)...

[Remarks] A peak-level master is only one step away from a master who has fully mastered carpentry skills.

"Well, it turned out to be this one, no wonder!"

Some surprises appeared on Xia Tian's face.

Who is Zhu Youxiao?Of course it is the "Carpenter Emperor" of the Ming Dynasty!
Xia Tian found out the record of this emperor in the history books in his memory.

"Heaven is clever, but it is not manpower... Good at small plays, and good at building houses. Anyone who uses ax, saw and chisel is beyond the reach of skillful craftsmen; and good at painting. All hand tools are self-made...Irritable temper , do something, and it will be accomplished as soon as possible.”

These records are very consistent with the attributes of the "Carpenter Zhu" in front of him.

Especially in the two aspects of "building houses" and "making puppets", Zhu Youxiao is even more famous.

It is said that he not only acted as a carpenter himself, directed the reconstruction of the palace, but even made a large number of miniature models of the palace, which are only three or four feet high, but with subtle twists and turns, and exquisite workmanship.

It can be called the earliest figure master.

In addition to "building houses", the carpenter emperor's favorite thing is to watch and make "water play puppets". He uses balsa wood to carve images of overseas Siyi, barbarian saints and generals, etc., and suspends them on the water. On the screen, use the impact of water to arrange various actions and perform different plots, such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Monkey King Havoc in Heaven" and so on.

In this way, the "golden general puppet" seen in the water just now can be explained. With the blessing of "characteristics", even master craftsmen have a chance to make golden props!
Of course, the Emperor Tianqi in history delegated a large part of his power to the eunuch "Wei Zhongxian" because he was too immersed in carpentry work.

The final consequences, of course, needless to say.

Obviously, like Li Ru, he should belong to the kind of historical figures judged by the will of the earth as "difficult to distinguish merits and demerits" or even "demerits outweigh merits".

Therefore, he did not pass the "Secret Realm Challenge" link, but came directly to the Eternal Land!

Moreover, judging from the title of the suspected "butcher", he probably made the same choice of "incognito" as Li Ru, and now his identity is no longer "Emperor Tianqi", but just a "Carpenter Zhu" .

Speaking of which, Xia Tian thought about it once before, what would it look like when the ancient emperor descended to the Eternal Land?
The first emperor I saw now, I have to say that I was really surprised.

The "Carpenter Zhu" in front of him seemed very low-key, did not declare his family background, and even felt a little uneasy when facing him.

Who would have thought that this carpenter at the peak of the master level would be the former Great Ming Qi Emperor?
"He won't recognize my identity, will he?"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little nervous.

His identity can be hidden from these people around him, but he cannot be hidden from the "Lord".

At least, the previous lord of this territory recognized him directly!
However, the other party didn't care about his identity and past deeds, and even helped him hide it, so that he could truly become a carpenter in the territory.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao also prefers the identity of "carpenter" to being an emperor.

This may sound unbelievable...

Perhaps only those who have really experienced all kinds of weird things in the court of the Ming Dynasty, "falling into the water and becoming sick from fright, and dying from relapse of old diseases" will understand how precious it is to be alive again and be able to do what you like most!

"Carpenter Zhu, besides these, have you made anything else?"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao heard Xia Tian's words, raised his head suddenly, and found Xia Tian asking with a smile on his face.

Since Zhu Youjian is willing to remain anonymous as a "Zhu carpenter", it is naturally impossible for Xia Tian to reveal his identity in front of everyone.

After all, this is an outstanding person who is comparable to a master in some respects!

"My lord, please take a look..."

After hearing Xia Tian's address, Zhu Youxiao was a little excited.

He opened a wooden box that he carried with him, took out some things from it, formed a crossbow with a slightly unique shape, and handed it to Xia Tian for a look.

[Seven-Star Repeating Crossbow (Blue)]

[Level] Transformation

[Characteristics] Tracking (The arrows shot are within a certain distance, and the trajectory can be slightly adjusted by relying on mental power)
[Description] Made by "Zhu Carpenter" imitating the Zhuge Liannu, and making certain changes on the basis of it, it is a small repeating crossbow, which can continuously fire seven arrows each time!

"Well, it turned out to be a mortal crossbow?"

Xia Tian's face moved.

Although, it is only blue quality, which is not as good as "keel waterwheel" and "puppet".

But this is a metamorphic weapon!
You must know that compared to mortal weapons that only differ in their sturdiness, sharpness, range, etc., mortal weapons contain certain mortal characteristics!

Its value cannot be compared with mortal weapons.

Moreover, it is very important to make a weapon of the mortal level, first of all, the core material of the mortal level is required.

Because of Shen Lian's success in the challenge, Xia Tian's territory already has the "Divine Arm Crossbow God-level Blueprint", which can theoretically be used as a reference to make the mortal-level divine arm crossbow.

But because the ordinary wood around the territory has not yet been fused, even if it absorbs the "spiritual rain" that fell from the sky before, it has not been able to be promoted to become a mortal material in a short period of time!

In addition, there are no relevant production personnel who have mastered the skills of transformation in the territory, and the drawings can only be temporarily "shelved"!
Now, things seem to be turning around now.

This "Seven Stars Crossbow" is the same as the Divine Arm Crossbow. Its core materials are wood and animal tendons. Does it mean that there is mortal-grade wood near this territory?
"My lord misunderstood, but I didn't find mortal-grade wood near the territory."

However, the first half of Zhu Youjian's answer made Xia Tian a little disappointed.

"But I have the ability to transform mortal-level wood into mortal-level wood, and even make its characteristics meet my requirements!"

But the second half of the sentence that followed made his expression change.

"Good guy? Don't you also have 'Tianshichengjin'!"

Of course, this is just a joke in Xia Tian's heart.

In fact, after Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Xia Tian had guessed what the other party was relying on.

As a silver hero, he certainly did not come from "extraordinary forces". The only explanation is that he came to the eternal land with this carpenter emperor as a "companion wonder"!

　This chapter has fewer numbers because it is a split chapter.

　　But the next chapter is still a little bit unfinished... I can't bear to stay up all night for the past few days.

　　I am going to adjust the time, go to bed first, and then write after getting up.

　　So, I have to wait until tomorrow morning, so I try to be as early as possible.
