Rise of Rurik

　　 Until now, every metal object of the Ross tribe is precious, and the tribe has not squandered enough to use iron objects at will.

　　The rich warriors would go to the blacksmith to order the chain mail made of brushed wrought iron. Although wire drawing is not too cumbersome work, twisting small iron bars into a loop with pliers and weaving them together is very tedious work, and the blacksmith's fees are naturally expensive.

　　In the Ross tribe, only a few people actually have their own chain mail.

　　Most people participate in combat, and they generally wear leather armor for protection on key parts of the body.

　　 pine resin, this kind of viscous slurry with a special smell, priests sometimes burn it to increase the mystery of the ceremony with its incense.

　　 More often, this substance is used either as a fuel for torches or as a leather hardener.

　　The cowhide purchased from the southern tribes, after the rosin coating process, the rosin penetrates into the cowhide and is completely dried and hardened, and the whole cowhide becomes quite hard.

　　 This kind of leather armor can hardly hold most of the slashes from the iron sword, and is almost completely immune to the rare arrows on the battlefield!

It can only withstand the heavy slashing of the battle axe. Similarly, the expensive chain armor may not be damaged in the face of the battle axe crit. Its owner is afraid that it has been smashed to the heart. All cracked.

　　 If the owner of the leather armor is not at ease, wear a double-layer leather armor, and even put a layer of leather armor on the belly. Such an assembly can effectively resist the sharp edges of iron swords, and also have certain resistance to the piercing of the blades.

　　 Wrought iron sword, even after quenching, its strength is still unsatisfactory.

The tribal blacksmith’s knife sharpening skills are actually quite high. Due to the material defects of the iron sword, such as Clavasson’s grinding of ordinary iron swords, he personally thinks that the sharpening is almost the same. Observing the blade on a microscopic scale, this blade is not. However, the zigzag shape is also in a state of tiny curling edges in many places.

　　Because of the tribal way of fighting, each warrior always has a buckler on his left hand, and their enemies often do the same. In the battle of two people, a sharp sword is not easy to find a chance to kill with one blow. On the contrary, hacking creates damage, which is an easier method.

　　 The worst thing a fighter needs to avoid is the collision of two iron swords.

　　 However, using a sword to block in battle is a compulsory course for every warrior. Two not-so-hard blades collided with each other. After a battle, the victor must also face the bad problems of bending, breaking and curling his iron sword.

　　 After a fierce battle, if the warrior doesn't have another weapon, he can only continue to fight with a sword called a broken iron bar before he can be cultivated.

　　 This is the reason why Rurik ordered a special steel sword to cut the six layers of cowhide at once, which would give Cravason and his son a great shock.

　　 It was Clavasson's hands. He didn't exert much effort at all. The six layers of cowhide were cut into a very flat cross section, and the light was shining in the reflection of the fire from the stove.

　　Kawei took an iron sword reflecting off-white light, and looking at its length, Rurik felt that at least two-thirds of it was stika.

　　 His estimate is quite accurate.

"Luriek, look at this sword, it is white and bright." Klavasen introduced timely, "This is my proud work. Most of the iron swords I make are like this. Many people in the tribe use it. It is my sword. Now, your sword, it has become my latest proud work."

　　 "Really? I want to see the chopping, I want to make sure that the ordinary iron sword can be cut off!" Rurik urged.

"Okay, next..." Clavasson handed the sword to his son, in particular instructed: "This is a short sword. Remember to use the greatest strength to chop. Don't worry about anything, I guess the iron sword will be Cut off." Finally, he patted his son's strong shoulder again.

　　Kawei, the son of a blacksmith, he just looks thin.

　　 As everyone knows, when this person took off his thick leather jacket and appeared in a linen shirt, the muscle texture of his arms really envied Rurik.

　　 This is not surprising at all, any master rower in the tribe, any blacksmith, their arms and body will always seem a little out of harmony, just because they need the muscles of their arms too much in their lives.

　　 Kawei can swing a large forest axe, and within ten swings, a large tree can be cut down forcibly.

　　 Now he is swinging a short sword, although he feels quite awkward in his hand, it is no problem to make a heavy slash.

　　 Two small grindstones lifted the iron sword, leaving a chopping position hollowed out below.

　　 "Ready to start! I hope I can."

　　 Kawei twisted his neck vigorously, and he only held the short sword with his right hand, just like a normal warrior. Under Rurik and Kravasson's eyes, they mobilized the power of the whole body and slashed fiercely.

　　Everything came so fast, only a bang, without any muddle-headedness, the iron sword was really chopped into two sections.

　　 Immediately after that, there was the sound of the metal crash of the broken iron sword falling to the ground.

　　 "Ah! I made it!"

　　Kawei was still stunned, and Clavasson already roared in excitement, raised his hands again, and took the opportunity to lift Rurik up and turn around, and then put it on the ground.

　　 "Blacksmith, you are so excited." Rurik said that he was complaining, and he was happy in his heart.

　　 Kawei holding the dagger in his hand suddenly felt a strong possessiveness in his heart. The dagger is amazing. If it were longer, wouldn't it be comparable to the leader's divine sword?

　　 Times have really changed! Once upon a time, the "Destroyer", the leader of the entire tribe, could really cut off the iron sword easily, and the blade was not damaged at all.

　　 The short sword in his hand did the same thing. Although it does not have a beautiful pattern, its overall whiteness and the extreme whiteness of the blade are not another kind of extreme beauty?

　　 Just as Kawei's heart was pounding and falling into inextricable narcissism, Kravasson let out a roar of excitement and roared his soul back.

　　 "Silly boy, don't be in a daze! See if the blade is damaged."

　　 "Oh! I'll watch it." First posted https://https://

　　 This sword belongs to the child Rurik. After Kawei's sanity recovered, he knew that it belonged to others. But I didn't lose any money at all. In ten days, I and my father personally completed all the transformation from iron ore to divine sword. With the first success, it is not difficult to re-engrave successfully.

　　Kawei's eyes were better than Kravasson's. He stared wide and looked at and took the sword to the charcoal fire, so that he could see the smallest damage with the help of the fire.

Is 　　 really damaged?

Kawei's eyes are not at the level of a microscope. He can't see any damage. He boldly touches with his fingers lightly. The sharp feeling is full of danger. It seems that as long as he exerts a little force, his fingers have to be cut. Got blood!

　　 "Ah! Dad, it's really not damaged, this sword is really amazing!"

　　 So far, Rurik has got the sword he wants.

　　 Klavasen tried to restrain his joy of success, he turned around abruptly, and put his hands on Rurik's tender shoulders. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of urgency, and his beard trembled strangely.

　　 "Rurik, your sword is complete. Now...now you must follow the agreement and tell me all the reasons for this. I...I even."

　　 "You..." Rurik was a little dazed for a while.

　　 "Thank you, you showed me a miracle. I don't even need a silver coin from you. I only ask you to tell me the principle of everything. I want to know Odin's wisdom."

　　 "Okay, I... I just want you to take your hand away now."

As soon as 　　rurik's voice fell, Kravasson let go of his hand decisively.

　　 "Well, I will tell you the principle. You can even produce iron swords by yourself in the future. I am the one who speaks and counts. I should give you a lot of silver coins. But..."

　　 "How is it?" Cravason asked.

　　 "I have taught you the technique of making a good sword, and I will also tell you the principle. You got the technique from me, so do you have to pay some compensation?"

　　 "Of course, I will." Kravasson replied very simply, but Rurik's next words made the old guy a little bit difficult.

"Maybe you think that paying a sum of money can buy all the technology from me, and even if you have successfully completed it once, you can continue to make a good sword even if you do not pay. Now I want to make a condition, I will Tell you all the principles, as a price, every good sword you make in the future will have to give me a certain reward."

　　 "Huh?!" Cravason felt that he heard the incredible request.

　　 "Did you not hear clearly? Okay, let me explain..."

　　 It may be difficult for an ancient person to understand that knowledge needs to be paid for. In this era, scientific inventions often come from craftsmen, and the purpose of invention is to produce faster. The work of inventors does promote social progress, but often inventors do not get much benefit from their inventions.

　　Only those inventors who are favored by the monarch can be rewarded, and the other inventors often use and promote their creations as soon as they follow suit.

　　 Leurik spent a lot of time talking, so that the Clavassen father and son understood his request.

Seeing the color of the two men's hesitation, Rurik had an idea: "I won't charge you too much, don't worry. For this sword, I paid at least 20 silver coins, and you also spent ten days. .Actually, in my opinion, if you build a good sword that is two-thirds the length of a stika, it can be priced at fifty silver coins.

　　 Believe me, a very beautiful sword that is as sharp as mud, and any warrior is eager to get one. As your skills become more and more proficient, it will not take ten days to build a sword.

　　 I charge one-tenth of your money. If a sword is sold for fifty silver coins, I will charge five silver coins.

　　 What do you think? "

　　 When Rurik said that, Klavason and Kawei were really moved.

　　 They know what the warriors think. Everyone who bought a sword and repaired a sword in his shop before was full of praise for the leader's sword.

　　 It can be seen that their desire for the Excalibur does not need words to describe.

　　 Klavasen thought about it again, and stomped hard: "Okay, Rerik, I'll listen to you." New 81 Chinese network update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/

　　 "Very good, for this we have to sign a written agreement."

　　 "Huh? Is it still carved on a wooden board?"

　　 "Of course it is necessary. Just as you engraved the order from the tribe on a wooden board to make it easier for you to remember, so do I. We have to sign an agreement and engrave it on the wooden board to remind you that I always remember it.

　　 This child will be the leader of the future, not only because of an oracle, but also because of his deeds.

　　 Cravason didn't think much, and immediately ordered his son to get another oak board.

　　 "No! It is two oak boards. Our agreement must have two copies, one for you and one for me. This is our contract."

　　 "Okay! Kawei, take two, two without any lettering." Clavasson further ordered.

　　 Rune alphabet is only used by a few people. After all, it is a kind of writing. The technique of smelting iron and forging requires very strong work, and blacksmiths must learn the characters of their own ethnic group. The text is really good. With it, chiseling the customer's request or marking with a knife can make the blacksmith always know the order of his work plan, so as not to delay any customer.

　　 A small carving knife was held in his hand. While Rurik improvised the content of the agreement, he paid attention to Clavasson's engraved text, confirming that the text was clear.

　　 Since there were not many terms required by Leurik, and it didn't take much time, Kravasson completed it.

　　 This contract is the second written contract for commercial cooperation of the Ross tribe, and it is also the most important contract for the blacksmith.

　　 For the sake of the contract, Rurik temporarily named the newly completed steel sword as "stelsvard", which was interpreted as "hard sword".

　　 There are only two terms in the contract:

　　First: Every hard sword made is profitable, and Rurik himself owns 10% of its profits, and every sale must be reported to Rurik.

　　Second: This contract restricts all iron products processed by hard swords, and 10% of the profit must be paid to Rurik. The iron products processed in the traditional way and all bronzes are not covered by the contract.

　　 In addition, there are also some swear words such as "The contract is fair to each other, under the double supervision of Odin and Thor, and those who embezzle wealth will be punished by God".

　　 Will it be useful to add words like this? Rurik believes that it is useful, even if people's hearts will change, because everyone is generally superstitious in this time and space, I believe that this world has a great existence to supervise various affairs of the human world.

　　 Kravasson had carved two wooden boards, and Rurik also questioned that he took a chisel and a small hammer and carved his name on the two wooden boards.

　　 "Huh? Do you still want to engrave my name?" Cravason asked curiously, "I already have the board in my hand."

　　 "We must engrave the name, which means that we personally acknowledge that it is effective."

　　 "Do you think that I have lived a long time, and there will be problems in character?" Kravasson asked slightly displeasedly.

　　 "No. This is a necessary ceremony. It is a proof of our contract spirit. We need such a meaningful ceremony."

　　 Cravason thought for a while, the kid Rurik made some sense.

　　If you think about it again, this contract is obviously beneficial to you!

　　Think about it. In the past, it took only three silver coins to make an iron sword, and to make a hard sword named "stelsvard", the result was completely different. With fifty silver coins for a hard sword, the money dedicated to Rurik, and the cost of charcoal and whetstones paid by him, his family can earn forty silver coins.

　　 Even if you build three swords in one month, it is a huge income of at least 120 silver coins! In the past, I couldn't earn so much in one year. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 Liu Li Ke is full of the process of signing modern agreements and contracts, although he is limited by the signing materials in this time and space, and has to simplify the content.

　　 After signing the contract, he guessed that Clavason would not be so stupid to tear up the agreement for great benefit. Often those who tear up the agreement do so because they have discovered a greater opportunity for profit.

　　Lurik couldn’t think of how, in addition to learning the skills of making 100 steel-making from here, how he Clavasson and even Kawei could find a more efficient and safe way to earn money.

　　 At present, they only know the technology, and they don't know the principle of it.

　　Lurik accepted the plank and sighed comfortably.

　　 Klavasen did not feel that it was a moment of relaxation. At this moment, the old guy looked at Rurik and asked sincerely: "Dear Rurik, now, can you tell me the principle of everything?"

　　 "Now, will it be too late?"

　　 "It's not too late! It's not too late!" Clavasson told his son again: "Go to your mother, cut some meat, and get some slices of bread. Go!"

　　 Seeing Kawei running away, he faced Rurik again: "I will prepare some food for you, you can eat slowly. You must tell me the principle."

"Okay, I just wanted to tell you. When Kawei comes back, the three of us will sit here. Some of you absolutely can't believe the truth about our human world. I will tell you. I hope you will I sigh from the heart of Odin and Thor's great wisdom."
