Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 147 Fort-level settlements, silver refining weapons
Along the paved stone road in the town, a group of people came to the only inn in the town.

There was no one else in the inn at this time, and the group of them had lunch and rested here.

The staple food is steamed buns, accompanied by a little vegetable soup.

There is also meat in the store, but because it is more expensive, traders from the village like them would not be willing to order meat, so Wu Chen didn't let Peng Yong order it.

In the end, a little ore was evened out to pay.

Then their group, led by Peng Yong, went to Li's blacksmith shop in the east of the town.

This blacksmith shop is more familiar with the one in Ganlin Village.

However, when he was about to reach the end of the field, a donkey cart stopped at the door of the blacksmith shop. Peng Yong stopped immediately when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "Master Wu, let's not go there, wait until that group of people finish their work."

Wu Chen looked at the donkey cart.

A few figures were carrying weapons from the blacksmith shop and loading them into cars.

There were a few figures beside the donkey cart, but they were just watching, not trying to help.

"Who are those people? Are they also here to buy weapons in Furnace Town?" Wu Chen asked.

"No, those should be people from Gray Rock Castle. It seems that they don't need to spend money to buy weapons." Peng Yong replied.

Gray Rock Castle?
Wu Chen suddenly realized.

No wonder there is something as tall as a donkey cart.

It turned out to be people from the fort-level settlement.

Peng Yong was probably worried about bumping into them.

It's just that it doesn't cost money to buy weapons?What does it mean?Is it still called buying without spending money?
"What are you looking at? A bunch of bumpkins!"

At this moment, beside the donkey cart, a middle-aged man with his back turned to them seemed to have noticed their peeping, turned his head, and after seeing them clearly, he immediately scolded them domineeringly.

Peng Yong was silent for a moment and was about to leave with his group of people.

But who would have thought that the man saw the crocodile they were carrying, and immediately shouted: "Stop, this crocodile belongs to you?"

Peng Yong's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Wu Chen as if asking for help, Wu Chen also frowned, but he quickly shook his head slightly, and signaled Peng Yong vaguely with his eyes.

"Return to this lord, it belongs to us." Peng Yong understood Wu Chen's meaning, so he had no choice but to step forward and answer in a low voice.

"Very well, I'll buy one. Somebody, give them a weapon!"

This middle-aged man didn't even discuss it, and just shouted in an unquestionable tone.

Afterwards, one of his subordinates casually took a bronze sword from the man who loaded the car in the blacksmith shop, and threw it in front of Peng Yong like trash, making a "boom".

"This, this is only a copper sword..."

Peng Yong seemed reluctant, but the man raised his hand and slapped Peng Yong's mouth with a "slap" sound!
"No, right? Then let me tell you, this sword is gone too!"

The outrageous behavior of these people made everyone in Ganlin Village dare not speak out.

Including Wu Chen was also secretly angry, but if he made a rash move now, it would be fine to offend the Gray Rock Fortress. What's more troublesome, would be to expose himself and affect his plan to annex Furnace Town, so he can only go first hold back.

"If you want it, why don't you want it? Captain Peng, let me introduce to you. This is Manager Yang of Gray Rock Castle. You can sell this crocodile to him."

At this moment, the shopkeeper of this blacksmith's shop heard the movement here, hurried over, and acted as a peacemaker with a pleasant face.

Although Peng Yong had no choice but to agree to this unfair deal.

A crocodile was exchanged for a copper sword.

Then they left immediately, and it wasn't until the people from Gray Rock Castle left Li's blacksmith shop that they were invited back into the blacksmith shop by the shopkeeper.

"Captain Peng, you came at the wrong time, alas." The shopkeeper sighed.

"Treasurer Li, these people from Gray Rock Castle are really..." Peng Yong was angrily waiting to say anything, but was interrupted by Shopkeeper Li with a wry smile.

"Dean Peng, why don't I know? How many weapons do we have to hand over to them every year in Furnace Town? It's just these words, we just know it in our hearts, and it won't help if we say it."

When these words came out, the faces of the other people in the blacksmith shop also showed suppressed anger, obviously they were also deeply hurt by it.

It seems that Furnace Town has been exploited by Gray Rock Castle for not a day or two.

Next, let's talk business.

Use the remaining crocodile and ore to exchange for some iron weapons.

Probably due to their involvement, shopkeeper Li sold out a lot of benefits.

"Treasurer Li, do you sell silver refining weapons here?"

Wu Chen suddenly interrupted.

"Smelting silver?" Shopkeeper Li was startled when he heard the words, looked at him, shook his head after a moment, and said, "Not for sale."

Do not sell?Isn't that what it is?
"Why not sell it?" Wu Chen looked interested.

"Silver smelting weapons, first of all, in terms of minerals, it is formed after silver mines are eroded by black mist, and there is a small chance of mutation. Therefore, there are not many silver ores, and it is very difficult to forge. Forging silver smelting weapons Time is easy to forge, so the price has been high.

In Furnace Town, there are only a few silver refining weapons handed down from our ancestors, which are all left for future generations to observe and study, and are not for sale. " Shopkeeper Li explained.

Only then did Wu Chen understand.

He couldn't help thinking.

According to shopkeeper Li, silver-smelting ores are hard to come by, but craftsmen who can make silver-smelting weapons are even more rare.

In the generation like Furnace Town, there is no such talent.

So, if he can train a skilled blacksmith who can forge silver-smelting weapons, wouldn't he be able to obtain a lot of wealth by purchasing silver-smelting ore and selling silver-smelting weapons?

Even if it’s not for sale, it’s great if you use it yourself!
Next, Wu Chen took the initiative to chat with other people in the blacksmith shop.

Maybe it was because they were oppressed by Gray Rock Castle together, they were very enthusiastic towards Wu Chen and answered every question.

Wu Chen mainly asked if there was anything about the settlement for new students.

But no one here knows.

Wu Chen couldn't help feeling a little pity, but he had no choice but to give up.

His current plan is to focus on completing all the intermediate territory tasks first. With his current strength, there is still hope.

Then, there must be no need to think about high-level territory tasks. If high-level lord monsters or castle-level settlements are involved, the strength of Xianheze is far from enough. At that time, he can put down the territory first and go to the system settlement to improve his strength.

While Wu Chen was prying out information about Furnace Town, he also took the opportunity to visit the blacksmith shop.

When he got to the backyard, he found a young man practicing kung fu with a hammer.

Wu Chen looked at it with great interest.

From his point of view, the hammering technique practiced by this young man has many beating movements, so it should be a kind of blacksmith's hammering technique.
