Mercenaries and Adventurers

Contestant No. 12 took out the iron materials left over from forging and the wood and leather he selected. He first cut the leather into strips, and then used the metal buckles provided in the forging table to make each strip of leather according to the style of the shoulder straps.

He then took out the wood and sawed out a rectangular thin board with a wood saw. After making gestures, the board was still a little too small. His machete was still relatively large, so he went on to saw the same board. Connect two planks to each other, and reinforce them with long wooden strips and iron nails to form a whole large plank.

Contestant No. 12 then makes a hole in the large wooden board, passes a long leather strip through the hole in the wooden board, and then connects the leather shoulder strap. He tried on a leather shoulder strap that he made himself, and it was fine because of its simple structure.

After the remaining iron material was heated in the furnace, contestant No. 12 swung the hammer again to break the iron material into several large pieces, and carefully forged each piece into slender iron bars. He made various bends for each iron bar, and the tip of the iron bar was hammered so that it was sharp and easy to bend.

Contestant No. 12 carefully drilled a few fine holes on the edge of the large board with a drilling awl. He then clamped slightly heated, thin, bent iron bars through the holes in the plank with pliers. There was a smell of burnt wood from the place where the tip of the iron bar rubbed and collided with the wooden board. Contestant No. 12 carefully bent and fixed the tip of the iron bar passing through the wooden board with a hammer.

In the same way, a loose iron cage was quickly formed on the wooden board. Contestant No. 12 put the shoulder **** his back, and then put the machete with a thick back that he made himself into the iron cage behind him. After walking a few times, he was quite satisfied. The next thing left was to sharpen the blade of the machete. This was a technical job, and he had to hurry up.

Contestant No. 10's machete scabbard was made fairly smoothly, and the cow bone scabbard shell looked quite wild and barbaric. But that's the strongest impression he needs to make on the people who see his work. For each bone shell, Contestant No. 10 glued the seams carefully with animal glue. But he still felt that it was not very safe, so he used a file to grind a shallow groove on the beef bone shell on the scabbard where it needed to be reinforced. Then use a thin hemp rope to bind and strengthen the beef bone scabbard along the groove.

Although the reinforcement was completed, player number ten still felt that it was almost meaningless.

After staring at his work for a while, he decided to use thin strips of leather for the final reinforcement. Binding and strengthening with fine hemp rope makes the whole machete look a little cheap, and it is not very good-looking. Contestant No. 10 decided to reinforce it with thin leather strips after deliberating for a long time.

After doing it all over again, contestant No. 10 finally felt satisfied. Next, it is left for his works to be sharpened, which is not the focus of his works, so he feels that he can do it casually.

The production of the handle of contestant No. 7 went smoothly, and the soft wrought iron was successfully fixed on the original handle of the machete. While waiting for the wrought iron on the handle to cool down naturally, contestant No. 7 selected a suitable tissue material on the slime monster's envelope. He carefully cut the envelope with a sharp knife, and used a heated iron rod to shrink the edge of the envelope he cut off.

If the incised capsule is not treated in this way, although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, the soft material in the capsule will flow very slowly. After a long time, all the contents in the capsule will be lost. So contestant No. 7 treated the section of the envelope with a hot iron rod. After treatment, the cross-sectional interface of the envelope will not slowly lose the material in the envelope.

After careful manipulation, contestant No. 7 got a piece of envelope similar to a rectangle. He attached this thing to the handle of the machete, and rolled it clockwise. While rolling, he used animal glue to carefully coat the joint between the envelope and the handle. After turning around, the envelope is also covered with animal glue.

After the last bit of coating is wrapped around the handle, contestant No. 7 heats and melts the seams of the coating with a hot iron rod. In this way, the handle of the machete is completed. Just wait for the animal glue to solidify.

Bordeaux shepherd was very satisfied after seeing the operation of No. 7 player. Compared with the precision of operation, he valued the breakthrough creativity of No. 7 player more. He was very satisfied, even if the No. 7 player failed to win the championship, he decided to have a good chat with the opponent after the game. Such an excellent seedling must go through the best cultivation. This one has the potential to become a magic material craftsman, he is sure. Compared with the proficiency of the craftsman's technology, the possibility of breaking through the original technology is more important. After all, there are tens of thousands of blacksmiths with good skills, but magic material craftsmen who can become representatives of higher skills don't look at that.

After finishing the handle of his machete, contestant No. 7 started to make his machete sheath. Compared with others, his scabbard is very ordinary in production, just use a kind of hardwood that is disgusted by people to make the scabbard.

First split the hardwood in half, because the wood is not big enough, he had to use a wood saw to saw the two halves of the wood into four pieces. The planer can't handle this kind of hard wood, so contestant No. 7 had to use a chisel and a small hammer to chisel out the space for the blade of the machete bit by bit.

After the chisel was completed, contestant No. 7 carried out a simple leveling process on the inside. Grab your handsaw and start sawing away the excess wood you're not using along the outside of the groove. Because the shape of the machete is simple, this step is still very easy. It is to use a hand saw to saw the hard wood, which makes the No. 7 player too strenuous.

For the last remaining four hardwood scabbards, contestant No. 7 used two thin iron bars to reinforce the upper and lower ends of the scabbard, and then used a small hammer to smash the thin iron bars into a curved shape. In this way, the original four scabbards are fixed into one. To be on the safe side, contestant No. 7 also riveted the scabbard to the front of the scabbard with long iron nails. At the edge of the opening of the scabbard, a thin iron strip was wound around there.

After the scabbard was finished, contestant No. 7 polished the outer wood of the scabbard to make the uneven surface smooth and beautiful. Then, he began to sharpen the blade. The inside of his machete is lapis lazuli, so he had to be very careful not to sharpen the blade too much, otherwise, once the blade was sharpened too much, his machete would be damaged Scrapped.

Contestant No. 5 carefully polished his blade repeatedly on the whetstone. The blade was sharp, and there were wavy steel patterns on the blade. Under the sunlight, it reflected scattered metallic luster.

Just looking at the appearance, the work of No. 5 contestant is indeed the best. Of course, in terms of specific machete performance, contestant No. 5 also felt that his work had first-class powerful performance. After all, the forging time in the competition is still too little, and the manpower is only the player himself. Many forging techniques cannot be fully presented, and the more complicated the forging technique, the more high-performance materials and long-term forging time are required. These things are not available in the competition field, so this greatly limits the strength of each blacksmith.

Of course, this also gave many young people a chance to show off. Otherwise, if the competition lasted for a few days, they would have to prepare their own forging materials. The winning of the competition has nothing to do with young blacksmiths, and will be severely suppressed by older blacksmiths with rich experience and deep financial resources.

Contestant No. 5 actually doesn't like those young people to compete, and thinks it's better for them to accumulate experience in the workshop first. Moreover, there are many rules in the weapon forging competition. The contestants are actually dancing in shackles. They can't exert all their skills at all. Naturally, they can't forge the best works. In addition, the topics of the forging competitions are different every year, and each player naturally has something that he is not good at forging.

Contestant No. 5 put down the polished machete blade, and then heated a small piece of iron to create an iron handle. Put the iron handle on the handle of the knife body, and the extra handle was carefully bent and fixed on the iron handle by No. 5 contestant with a hammer. Then, contestant No. 5 wrapped a small piece of fine cloth dipped in animal glue on the iron handle, and then wrapped a long piece of fine hemp rope around the handle.

When wrapping, contestant No. 5 used a complicated winding method to wrap the hemp rope tightly around the handle of the knife. Finally, contestant No. 5 soaked the knife handle in animal glue, took it out and waited for it to dry.

As for the scabbard, contestant No. 5, like the others, chose the traditional scabbard style. That is, a wooden case and an iron hoop. The skilled player No. 5 quickly completed the production of the scabbard. He also used a strap to hang the scabbard so that the scabbard could be hung on a person.

Seeing that there was still time, contestant No. 5 then used a carving knife to carve a simple pattern on the surface of his scabbard, and then used the paint provided by the church to paint the wooden scabbard shell.

Well, his work is done.

Competitor No. 3 was the first to complete all the contestants. Although he spent a lot of time decorating the scabbard and handle with sea fish strips, he was still the first to complete the competition. After completing the production of the scabbard, contestant No. 3 also made a belt with a sea fish belt, on which the machete can be hung, which is very convenient. At the same time, he also burned his name on the scabbard with a heated chisel, indicating that it was his glorious work.

This is the most perfect work he has created according to the competition process, and he is bound to win this year's competition. Because the works of other contestants are not very good in his opinion. He dismissed many players with poor skills, but there were still some players who had a chance to compete with him.

Among them, the machete of contestant No. 7 may have better performance, but the scabbard of contestant No. 7 is really not good, and the handle is not very practical.

Contestant No. 5's work is generally well-finished. After all, he is an old blacksmith, but the folding and forging technique he used is true. Everyone knows how to do it, but because of time constraints, everyone is useless. And contestant No. 5 used it forcefully this time. I wonder if he can forge a qualified folding and forging work? He didn't think it was going to work, and he wasn't very optimistic about it, because there was too little time and too few times of folding and forging. The performance of the blade will not be improved too much~www.readwn.com~ The work of No. 10 contestant is simply a joke in his eyes, and the rough bone decoration style will only please the judges. Wait until the Crow Knight test later, it will be able to make the No. 10 player look good.

Contestant No. 12's work is also very simple, but there are bright spots in the design, but I don't know how the performance of the machete is. But its crude appearance certainly won't be a winner. Contestant No. 3 is confident in this.

Then, player number three turns his perspective back to player number one. It should be said that all the contestants who completed the machete works set their sights on the No. 1 contestant.

Originally, the design and forging techniques of No. 1 player were very threatening. The rare rotary forging method, the final product must have strong competition. But the carelessness of No. 1 player ruined his game. Now, No. 1 player can barely finish the game, showing the forging spirit of the blacksmiths.

Contestant No. 1 looked up at the situation on the field, and was startled. Everyone is waiting for him to complete the work to end the game forging process. Contestant No. 1 hurriedly lowered his head, and put the machete that had been simply reforged into the turbid quenching oil tank for quenching.

Without waiting for more time, contestant No. 1 took out the blade, washed the surface of the blade with cold water, and then wiped the top and bottom of the blade dry with a linen cloth. Simply whittling a piece of wood for the handle, the No. 1 competitor drilled a hole with a wood drill, and then inserted the heated root of the handle into the hole in the wood with force. Hit the bottom with a hammer a few times to fix the handle, and the No. 1 player simply uses a wood saw to saw the block into a shape suitable for holding. The scabbard is also made of two planks. Just wrap it with a rope and you're done. After simply polishing the edge of the blade, contestant No. 1 held up his work.

He also finished the game!
