My Magic Age

Hearing that I wanted to buy a large number of these scrapped bed crossbow bodies, the weapons dealer took me out of the black market after some consideration.

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

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

At this time, it started raining 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, and fell 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, the air is humid, and continuous rainy days are often encountered.

The sunshine on the Hierro plane is blocked by clouds all year round, and the sunshine is rarely seen throughout the year. The residents here like to build houses with stones. Although there is an endless black forest outside the city, the sunshine here is People rarely build wooden houses, and temporary residences in the forest are built of wood. The main reason is that wooden houses are easy to get moldy and insect-eaten here. In this damp environment, the tops of those wooden houses are easy to get moldy and insect-eaten. Mushrooms are born.

Three hundred bed crossbows, with their chassis brackets and wooden wheels removed, were neatly placed 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 was also covered with The straw ropes are tightly tied to prevent water vapor from penetrating into the entire bed crossbow. If the crossbow body is deformed, it will be difficult for the bed crossbow to maintain its original accuracy.

The rainwater pattered on the canvas and felt that protected the rain, flowing along the canvas on the lawn, converging into streams on the lawn, and flowing into the low-lying reservoir of the manor.

The weapons dealer opened the hood on his head and let the cold rain hit his head. He stretched out his hand and touched his face hard. His brown pupils showed a look of surprise and said to me: "These beds Do you want to buy all the crossbows?”

I nodded.

The weapons dealer said: "When the Duke of Samoyed originally built the defense line of Tanton City, he also hoped that the sentries could use these bed crossbows to block the footsteps of the Nibru Spider-Man."

Listening to what he said, I finally understood why there were so many abandoned bed crossbows here. Everything was prepared when the Duke of Samoyed built the defense line of Tanton City, just like the piles in the Trum stronghold. There were stacks of crossbows, the city was covered with crossbows, and a large amount of ordnance and crossbows were stored in the mountain. All of this was prepared because the Duke of Samoyed wanted to build a strong line of defense.

The weapons dealer continued: "But it turned out that his decision was wrong. He spent huge sums of money to manufacture a large number of military bed crossbows and crossbow arrows in the Hierro plane, but these weapons were of no use at all."

The weapons dealer is right. These bed crossbows did not help the Duke of Samoyed win the war, mainly because the Duke of Samoyed underestimated the charging ability of the spider warriors on the battlefield. I dealt with the spider warriors in the Trum area. After nearly a month, I got to know the spider warriors and knew the weaknesses exposed when these crossbows were standing on the bed.

The weapons dealer reached out and untied the hemp rope tied to the oilcloth, exposing the crossbow arm to the rain. The crossbow arm was smeared with a layer of animal grease, and the raindrops fell on the crossbow arm and quickly exploded into countless small water droplets. These bed crossbows were not strung up. He said to me: "The plane of Hierro is too humid. Bow strings made of twisted deer sinews will become unusable when they get wet. Therefore, these bow strings are usually stored in the magic sealing box and can only be used during battles." 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 crossbow arrows on such large instruments is too slow, basically two rounds After shooting, the spider warriors will rush to the base of the stronghold. Due to the limitation of the pitch angle, such big guys cannot shoot at the enemies below the city. Those spider warriors use their excellent rock climbing skills to climb the city wall and massacre the enemies on the sentry post. Infantry Guard."

The weapons dealer finally warned me: "So... Mr. Young Magician, I must remind you not to place all your hopes on these clumsy bed crossbows. It takes at least thirty breaths to pull the bow string of the bed crossbow with a winch." Time, its rate of fire is too slow. Unless you have an absolute superiority in troops, it will not help you win the war. "

Unexpectedly, the purpose of such a weapons dealer selling second-hand discarded bed crossbows was to make me seriously consider purchasing a bed crossbow, fearing that I would risk my death on the battlefield.

This aristocratic businessman is really a gentleman. I smiled at him and reached out to check the bed crossbow after he removed the rainproof cloth. Sure enough, except for the base and the pitch angle support frame, the bed crossbow had no other parts. Everything was ready and well sealed, so I tore off the canvas from the crossbow and exposed it to the rain.

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

I reached out and stroked the smooth and meticulously polished crossbow body, and exclaimed, "What a good crossbow."

Kalantso and Catalina stood beside me and never left, but Justus took out a dagger, stepped into the bed crossbow array, randomly selected a few bed crossbows, and removed the rain-covering canvas above. Cut the rope on the bed crossbow, then check the bed crossbows inside, and untie the ropes of three bed crossbows in succession, and see that the bed crossbows inside are all of the same quality.

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

The weapons dealer said cheerfully: "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 place these ordnance, I will hire some soldiers from the adventure group to help me take care of these crossbows. I suggest that you also hire some people from the mercenary group. I know a A reputable adventure group, I can introduce them to you if necessary."

I smiled noncommittally and did not answer his words, and the weapons dealer did not mention it again.

Then we braved the rain to count these bed crossbows. Unexpectedly, there were nearly 400 bed crossbows placed in the entire abandoned manor, but only 347 were kept in such good condition. The other more than 70 bed crossbows were all Some damaged defective products.

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

A complete bed crossbow costs about thirty magic crystals in the imperial capital, but the bed crossbows I bought do not require a base or wooden wheels.

This kind of bed crossbow can be seen everywhere in Tanton City. The ones in front of me are at best slightly better preserved. They picked up these damaged bed crossbows that had been abandoned at various outposts, and then asked craftsmen to piece these scraps together and assemble them into some complete bed crossbows. This was a completely costless business, so the weapons merchants started Just set the price very low.

Three hundred and forty-seven bed crossbows were sold to me at a price of five magic crystals each. These bed crossbows cost me a total of 1,700 magic crystals. I counted 300 magic crystals from my purse. Stone, and then directly handed the bag of magic crystals to the weapons merchant. At this time, the weapons merchant put away his smile and meticulously counted the magic crystals in the money bag.

A quarter of an hour later, he finished counting the magic crystals one by one, smiled at me and said, "If you want to buy other weapons, go to the black market and find me. I also have catapults, crossbows, and siege vehicles. etc!"

"Haha, we have no other ideas for the time being." I said to the weapons dealer with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Magician, I wish you good luck and see you soon!" After saying that, the weapons merchant left the manor with two bags of magic crystals and his men.

Kalantso, Katarina, Justus and I carefully checked the inside and outside of the manor and made sure that the weapons dealer had evacuated all his people. Then we ran to the door 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. Ask Kalantso to call out a group of orc warriors, and ask these orc warriors to carry all the bed crossbows despite the rain. Enter Xinliu Valley.

Katarina, Kalantso, and Justus also followed me into Xinliu Valley. Katarina came up behind me and asked me curiously: "Jijia, what on earth do you want to buy so many bed crossbows?" ?”

In response to Katarina's question, I explained: "I want to equip those barbarian slaves with these bed crossbows."

I stroked a bed crossbow with the canvas removed, made famous gestures on the bed crossbow, and said to Catalina: "Look, I envisioned installing a huge grip here on the bed crossbow, um, and There should be a handle added here so that the barbarians can easily pick up these bed crossbows. I hope that every barbarian slave can carry this kind of military crossbow in the future."

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

I replied: "Yes, 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 regarding these matters, it was obviously not Bernd's decision. At this time, the barbarians saw Kalantso and quickly gathered around. They also knew that Kalantso was the real queen of Xinliu Valley, and on the issue of eating meat Only what Kalantso says counts.

I called the barbarian leader to come over, pointed to the bed crossbow on the ground and said to him: "Pick it up and give it a try, and assume a horizontal shooting position."

I saw the barbarian looking at me in confusion, not understanding what I said at all.

I turned around and unhooked the crossbow from an orc warrior's back. 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. Despite this, when I held up the crossbow with both hands, although it was a little difficult, I was able to perform the movements well.

I held the machine gun and the handle of the crossbow with one hand, and held up the body of the crossbow with the other hand, posing towards the barbarian.

The tall barbarian imitated my movements and dragged the heavy bed crossbow in his hand. Seeing the relaxed look on his face as he held up the bed crossbow, then... 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 installed the bow string on the bed crossbow.

I asked the barbarian slave to try to draw the bow string.

The barbarian slave looked down at the bed crossbow he held in his right hand. He put three fingers of his left hand on the bow string and pulled hard. He only heard the bed crossbow making a "crunch" sound. He didn't know how big the barbarian slave was. With such strength, the human warrior could pull the crossbow string with a winch, but the barbarian slave easily pulled it open with only three fingers.

…

The current situation in Tanton City is not suitable for building the town of Trum, so I only stayed in Tanton City for one day and returned to the imperial capital with Catalina.

The two minotaurs 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 the warriors of 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 department of the Royal Magic Academy to cancel my leave. The director of teaching, Freeman, personally signed my leave note, but it was obvious that he tactfully stated that I missed a little too many classes this semester. If I still want to face the final exam smoothly, I have to listen to the class seriously next.

It has been more than a week since I left the imperial capital. The magic teachers in the Royal Magic Academy saw me again and showed a look of helplessness.

After I finished the magic class absentmindedly, I took Katarina to a carpenter's workshop and gave the carpenter the pattern of the wooden handle I had drawn. I asked them to make 347 handles and handles. After the handles and handles were made, these bed crossbows needed further modification. They must have a mechanism that can be pulled by one hand to be completely converted into giant handheld heavy crossbows. However, this carpenter's workshop has the ability to do so. I explained my requirements to the workshop owner in detail, and the matter was settled.

Then, I ran to Alia's house and happened to see little Ella here. Alia invited her to play in the manor. When little Ella saw me, she chased me and asked where I had been these days and why I hadn't been seen for several days.

The black iron armor of the Nakma people had been stored in the warehouse of the airport town by Alia. This time I came here to get the key to the warehouse.

After transporting these black iron armors back to Xinliu Valley, I let these barbarian slaves try them on. I didn't expect that the Nakma people and the barbarians were similar in size. The barbarians put on these black iron armors, which were a little loose, but as long as the straps on these armors were tightened, they could be worn. The only disadvantage of these armors is that they only cover the upper body.

I also need to buy some black iron ingots and go to the blacksmith shop to customize a batch of lower body trousers, greaves, heavy boots and other protective gear.
