Original War

Chapter 439 Sword Test

When the street changed, the four of Shao Xuan had not left too far, and heard the movement. Although I couldn’t see exactly what happened there, “Black Bear” and Mao Da could also speculate based on past experience.

“There should be a mammoth rushing over,” Maoda said. He heard the sound of elephants just now, but it stopped shortly afterwards, and the guards wouldn’t let them rampage around the city and destroy them.

“Fortunately, we left quickly, otherwise we would be affected.” As he said “Black Bear” and thought of what Shao Xuan had said before leaving the shop, he glanced at Shao Xuan a few times, thoughtfully.

If it were in the past, Mao Da would definitely go over to watch the excitement. However, compared to Gongjia’s affairs, the commotion here is not so attractive. “Walk around, go to Gongjia’s house, yes, Gongjia Where does Heng live in Gongjia’s house?” Mao Da was curious. He returned to Wangcheng relatively late, and he knew about Gong Jiaheng when he was chatting privately with other people who stayed in Wangcheng.

“I’ve been there.” “Black Bear” pointed and walked ahead to lead the way.

Most of the workers in the Gongjia family live in one place in the royal city, surrounded by a huge courtyard wall. Although there are other people living in other places, they are relatively few. However, because of the large number of people, the courtyard wall of Gongjia’s family has doors in four directions.

In fact, there is no need to worry about finding the right door, because now Gongjia’s family is surrounded by many people because of Gongjia’s constant.

“Why, do you guys go to try the sword too?” asked a person who knew “Black Bear” passing by.

“Yeah.” “Black Bear” didn’t say much. If he said it directly to find Gong Jiaheng, he would definitely be entangled.

When he arrived at the place, before he saw the door, Shao Xuan saw people surrounded by layers of people.

“Oh, it failed again!”

“The sword is broken, he has no chance at all.”

“Not as good as the previous one, but which one failed today?”

“Twenty-one, only one succeeded. I didn’t see it. I heard that it was the person who sealed the family from six.”

The people around were talking about it. Someone squeezed out of it, frustrated, and was pointed at by the person next to him. Obviously, this is the one who failed the sword test.

“So much!” Shao Xuan sighed as he looked at the crowd that was so crowded that they could not be seen.

“It’s still less. Some time ago when Gongjiaheng just came back, there were more people.” “Black Bear” said.Gong Jiaheng, who had been away for twenty years, returned from Gongjia Mountain. The Gongjia family was shocked. I think Gong Jiaheng was not a multi-talented figure, and he could not rank in the entire Gongjia family. At that time, Gong Jiaheng left for Gongjia Mountain. Many people were not optimistic. After leaving, I never came back. There are very few successful people, and they are all extremely intelligent people. For ordinary people like Gong Jiaheng, looking for Gong Jiashan is simply the rhythm of death.

Unfortunately, no one expected that Gong Jiaheng not only returned alive, but also successfully learned the skills left by the outstanding craftsmen of the past generations in the Gongjia Mountain.

Not to mention the inside of the Gongjia family, even the king’s city has set off a lot of waves. Many people come here to ask for weapons. The nobles love swords, and many people come to ask for swords.

However, Gong Jiaheng has a high status after all. There were too many people coming to find Gong Jiaheng, and Gong Jiaheng was impatient, so he came up with such a sword test level. Only those who passed the test were registered on the list and were eligible to talk to Gong Jiaheng. Otherwise, they would all stay outside.

The so-called sword test is actually that Gong Jiaheng prepares some big stones, puts them outside the door, and then places some weapons. If anyone can use these weapons to cut the stones without hurting the weapons, it will be considered as a pass. A weapon that is cut through a gap is considered a failure, not to mention the situation where the weapon is directly broken.

In fact, this is also a test of human strength. The texture grades of weapons and stones have been specially selected by Gong Jiaheng. If they have enough ability, they can directly cut off the stones without harming the weapons. Even if the stone is not cut, as long as it meets the standard and the weapon is not injured, it can be included in the candidate list.

For most people, such conditions are too harsh and make people difficult, but everyone can understand it, and many people even think it should be. After all, people are masters, how can they make weapons for people at will?

After the sword test level was set up, many people came to try the sword, but as more and more people failed, a lot fewer people came out to try the sword. I am not afraid of failure. I am afraid that I will break the weapon directly, and I will never be able to find the armor for a weapon in the future, and may even be rejected by many craftsmen of the armor. Many of the craftsmen and apprentices of the Gongjia family follow the steps above. This is called the idol effect. Gongjiaheng said that those craftsmen and apprentices who follow Gongjiaheng will do the same if they will not build weapons for anyone in the future.

When the four of Shao Xuan came, they happened to encounter a sword tester who shattered the bronze knife he used while cutting a stone, and was directly listed as eliminated, and even Gong Jiaheng would not build weapons for them in the future, so Only the sword tester I saw just now will look ashamed. In the future, if he wants to find people from the Gongjia family to build weapons, he can only find those craftsmen and apprentices from the Gongjia family who do not follow Gongjiaheng.

The “Black Bear” cleared the way like an armored car, forcibly squeezing the crowded onlookers aside, and he walked in. Shao Xuan followed behind.

The person who was squeezed by the “black bear” wanted to start cursing, but when he turned his head to see the “black bear”, he shut up. No matter when there is strength, there is the capital to speak.

Some people standing close to the outer layer did not dare to say “black bear”. After seeing the black bear, they wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze forward, but they didn’t want to. They just moved forward and were squeezed out. , Was squeezed three times in a row.

“Who else wants to try the sword?” someone onlookers shouted.

“Hurry up, I went home to eat after watching, and I was starving to death.” Someone complained next to him.

It’s almost as if the good show hasn’t been played during the theater.

Seeing the “black bear” squeeze in, many people’s eyes brightened and they cheered up. Maybe this guy who looks very strong can put on a good show?

“Black Bear” really wanted to give it a try. In the past few days, he was just inquiring about the situation, observing and observing. This time he brought Shao Xuan over, and he also wanted to try it. Did Jiaheng change his mind?

It’s no wonder that the “black bear” has no confidence. He used to chop people and vegetables. How could anyone chop stones? .

Determined, “Black Bear” said to Shao Xuan: “Wait first, I will try the sword.”

Just as the “black bear” was preparing to pass, a man dressed in gray cloth squeezed in from the other side of the crowd. His hair was simply tied behind his head with cloth strips, his face was expressionless, and he looked reticent and inconspicuous.

When “Black Bear” talked to Shao Xuan, that person squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the sword test. Since he took the lead, “Black Bear” could only be ranked behind, which made the caravan boss a little uncomfortable.

The man in gray glanced at the weapons, swords, axes, etc. on the side table. He picked up the sword directly without making much preparation. He came to the test stone and faced the big stone of winter melon there. Go down.

There is no skill, a very simple sword, but at the moment when it is cut, it gives people a sense of fierceness.

Cang!

A deep mark was left on the sword test stone, but it was not broken. Looking at the sword in the gray-clothed man’s hand, there was a shallow gap in the sword.

The onlookers booed, not knowing whether it was regret or schadenfreude.

To the onlookers’ reaction, the people before the sword test did not pay attention to it. As if unheard, he just raised the sword horizontally, flicked his fingers across the sword, and stared affectionately at the gap on the sword, as if to impress it deeply. Entering my heart, then I looked at the deep marks on the stone, held the sword in both hands, bowed solemnly toward the gate: “Teached!”

After speaking, the man in gray put down his sword and turned to leave without reluctance, his lonely back, like those tourist swordsmen walking around the world in the old people’s story.

The onlookers were surprised to see the reaction of the other party just now.

“Wait, this strong man, what did you understand after cutting a hole with a sword? Why did Insight look like the true meaning of this place?!”

“Why don’t we find a place to have a drink and talk about life?”

Some bystanders followed up and asked, but unfortunately, the unknown person remained silent, with his back straight like a long sword, and he walked away quickly in the rustle of the autumn wind.

Could it be an expert?

The ideas of the masters in the world are always different from the others, and you cannot always reason about them. Maybe they can become famous knights in the future? Someone thought.

However, “Black Bear” did not pay much attention to the person who left. Seeing another failed, he was also nervous, “You said, what kind of weapon should I choose?”

“Swords? I heard that there are more swords made by workers from the Jiajia family. Maybe that sword is stronger than other weapons.” Mao Da said.

“Black Bear” looked at Shao Xuan again.

“Use whatever weapon you usually use. When you cut it, treat it as a beast that is about to kill in front of you, don’t think about other things.” Shao Xuandao.

“Black Bear” nodded, Shao Xuan’s meaning was the same as his thoughts. The weapon is suitable for the type of habit. In fact, the axe is what he likes the most.

Over there, the guards outside the door replaced the sword test stone with a new one. The stone used for each sword test is different, but the material is the same.

When “Black Bear” was about to pass, Shao Xuan whispered to him again, “Black Bear”‘s eyes flashed with joy and nodded.

In full view, the leader of the caravan with a bear-like figure directly picked an axe, held it in his hand, and flicked the blade of the axe with his fingers. He had a general understanding of the axe in his heart. I don’t understand stones and use more weapons. I still have this understanding.

Thinking of Shao Xuan’s words, after the “black bear” passed, he did not directly test the sword stone like others, but moved a little to the side. He looked at Shao Xuan and saw that Shao Xuan nodded slightly. The black bear took a deep breath and concentrated. Attention, let go of thinking, and then imagine that he is walking outside with the caravan. He encountered a beast that suddenly rushed out. When he was in a hurry, without any hesitation, he roared and raised his axe sharply. His arm, and then slashed it hard!

When the axe was cut, the black bear still had a cold killing intent in his eyes, and the murderous intent made the onlookers shiver.

Bang!

Different from the crisp sound of the previous sword trials, it was particularly clear at this time.

The stone broke in half, and the axe was deeply embedded in the wood below.

The surroundings were quiet, and then the pot exploded. The onlookers were more anxious than the black bear: “Hurry up and take a look! See if there is a gap in the axe!”

The coldness in the black bear’s eyes dissipated in an instant, and he recovered. Now he was nervous, and he pulled out the axe embedded in the wood with force, and looked at the axe blade, showing excitement on his face.

“No…no?!”

“There is no gap!!”

“Haha boss! You succeeded!” Mao Da ran over excitedly, rubbing his hands and wanted to try.

Shao Xuan also went over to say hi.

“Get out of the way when you’re done!” An indifferent voice sounded, particularly prominent in the excitement and excitement.

The joy of “Black Bear” just raised was poured cold water by these words, put away his smile, made a bear face and looked at it, and then “squeaked”, “Who am I, it turns out to be the Linlu tribe.” of.”

Linlu tribe? Shao Xuan knew that this tribe was because of the horse-drawn carriage rider he encountered on the way to Jiju yesterday, who belonged to the Linlu tribe. It is said that he hugged the thigh of the Ji family and became a new little nobleman in the royal city.
