Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 28 28. It's called Mo Dao, but it's in the shape of a sword
"Look, all the leaders."

The shopkeeper took Mo Hao to see a few machetes, all of which had short handles and could be processed into long handles later.

Mo Hao casually raised the blade from bottom to top, and the blade brought up a gust of evil wind, and the roar of a tiger could be faintly heard in the wind.

At the same time, Mo Hao's left hand began to turn dark red, and the palm part became like some kind of claw.

Fortunately, Mo Hao changed his clothes today, and the long-sleeved clothes just happened to cover the abnormality of his left hand.

Putting down the machete, and slowly returning his left hand to its original state, Mo Hao was certain of one thing.

That is the ability or power of the [Ghost Swordsman], which can only be activated when he holds the corresponding weapon. The attack just now was the Ghost Swordsman's basic skill [Upward Strike].

Although the weapon used by the Ghost Swordsman is a [sword], in fact, anything long and straight will do. There are even cases where the Ghost Swordsman uses a chainsaw as a sword.

"Are there any heavier weapons?"

The machete was too light. For Mo Hao, it always felt light and fluttering when he swung it, and it was difficult for him to exert all his strength.

He needed a heavier weapon, something that could fully transform his strength into lethality.

"This..." The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a while. Although there were a few heavier weapons in the store, looking at the look on Mo Dutou's face that he thought they were too light, and considering the rumor in the county that Mo Dutou killed a tiger with his bare hands, the shopkeeper knew that Mo Dutou would definitely think those heavier weapons were too light.

He knew that Renxin Hall had been preparing the man-eating tiger since yesterday and was still processing it today and had not yet completed the dissection.

Moreover, when the giant tiger was paraded through the streets yesterday, everyone saw it with their own eyes. A tiger of that size would have been difficult to capture even if forty or fifty people came, let alone ten or twenty.

In this case, Mo Hao, who has the supernatural power to kill a big tiger with his bare hands, would probably have fewer weapons that he would find suitable.

After thinking it over, the shopkeeper asked Mo Hao to follow him to the backyard of the shop. There were several furnaces in the spacious backyard, and the master was forging iron blocks for casting.

"Six, Seven, go get the long box from under the shelf."

The shopkeeper asked two sturdy apprentices to carry a rectangular box from the shelf and motioned for Mo Hao to open it and take a look.

The long box was not locked. Mo Hao opened it and saw what was inside. He was a little hesitant, "Is this... a Mo Dao?"

In the box was a double-edged sword with a long handle next to the blade that could be assembled. The total length of the weapon could reach three meters.

Its name is Mo Dao, but its top is shaped like a heavy double-edged sword.

Mo Hao reached out to take the box, and his hands suddenly felt heavy when he picked up the weapon. The weight of this weapon actually reached 20 kilograms.

This is definitely not a standard weapon for ordinary people. Ordinary people can only use it for physical exercise and it is impossible for them to use it on the battlefield.

It is definitely a weapon used by a gifted and powerful general.

At this time, the shopkeeper explained, "This Mo Dao was pawned by someone during my father's generation. The pawnshop didn't accept weapons, so he had no choice but to come to us to exchange for some money."

"According to the guest, his ancestors were fierce generals in the army, and the Mo Dao was also passed down from his ancestors. My father saw that the guest did not look like a bad person, and he was greedy and wanted to find the lost skills from the Mo Dao, so he took it."

"But I didn't expect that I didn't understand much about the skills of the Mo Dao. This sword can't be sold and can only be placed under the shelf to collect dust."

Mo Hao was too lazy to listen to the shopkeeper's story, which he was not sure whether it was true or not. He assembled the Mo Dao and waved it in the open space of the courtyard, causing gusts of tiger roaring wind that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

With a mass of 20 kilograms, if you swing it without armor to protect yourself, you will die if you are hit by it, and you will be injured if you just touch it.

I don't know if it's because the top of the Mo Dao is shaped like a sword, but in Mo Hao's hand it seems to be regarded as a big sword or a heavy sword.

Not only was it easy to wield, but even when his left hand turned into a ghost hand, he could still hold it with one hand, and it was as powerful as both hands. "I want this Mo Dao. Go to the government office and ask for the price."

As soon as Mo Hao finished speaking, the shopkeeper immediately looked miserable. Who would dare to go to the yamen to ask for money? They would probably be beaten out with sticks.

Looking at the shopkeeper's expression, he also knew that it would be difficult for the shopkeeper to ask the government for reimbursement. After thinking about it, he gave a suggestion, "I have received the order from the county magistrate to call for the local militia to train, and all expenses will be paid by the government. Can you provide a hundred people with weapons for training?"

Hundreds of weapons, big order!

The shopkeeper immediately realized that this was a large order that had not been seen in many years. The government office summoned the militia for training, and it was not enough to just use a machete to get the job done.

Pudao, spear, arrows, cotton armor, cloth armor...

Although the militiamen who were summoned had some assets, not every one of them had a full set of equipment, so the county magistrate would have to provide them with the necessary equipment.

This is not a private purchase like Mo Hao, but an official purchase.

The shopkeeper was so excited that he could not say anything. If this deal was successful, he would not need any business for decades to come. "This Mo Dao will be given to Mo Dutou."

Although the Mo Dao is expensive, it is not comparable to the official list.

"I don't have the final say. The militia training is very important. The weapons provided cannot be sloppy."

"I know this naturally and will not be careless. This Mo Dao can only be used by the head of the city, so I will naturally give it to the hero."

Mo Hao couldn't directly specify the weapons supplier, but this information was definitely valuable. Knowing this information first would allow him to get ahead in the future.

The shopkeeper apologized repeatedly in excitement, then left the house and no one knew where he went.

Seeing that he had picked up a suitable weapon for nothing, Mo Hao did not hesitate to put the Mo Dao into the box, carried it on his back and went on patrol.

The duties of the captain include patrolling and law enforcement. He also plans to see if there are any other clues in the county, clues related to special tasks.

I had just been walking on the street for a while when suddenly a guy ran over.

That was a guy from Renxintang, and he came to report a case.

A batch of goods from Renxintang was robbed by bandits from Queqiaozhai. Most of the accompanying guys were injured, and one bandit was also captured.

Renxin Hall.

Mo Hao walked straight into the lobby. The smell of blood mixed with herbs hit his nose. At the same time, he could hear the loud cries of the Renxin Hall waiters.

"How many people died?"

Without any greetings, Mo Hao went straight to the point and asked the young master Su Zhilan, he was worried that some students at Tianchang Girls' School might suffer losses.

As a result, his milestone of [Iron Guard] would be in vain.

Although the Taixu Realm where they took the joint entrance examination was safe, it was not absolutely safe to the extent that no one would die.

Su Zhilan and the shopkeeper of Renxin Hall were already waiting for Mo Hao. Hearing Mo Hao's question, Su Zhilan replied in a low voice, "Renxin Hall did not lose any employees, but the bandits were ruthless. Several employees were seriously injured and unconscious. I don't know if they can survive."
