Tiger Roars in China
Chapter 173: Forging a Thin Thorn Sword
When Li Meng appeared in Mao Li's blacksmith shop with wine, Mao Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good boy, I didn't make those gadgets for you in vain. Is this wine a gift for me?"
Maori still couldn't believe it.
Because Li Meng didn't just bring one jar of wine, but four jars of wine at once.
This was a huge surprise for the dwarves who loved wine.
Li Meng pushed the wine to Mao Li and said with a smile, "Grandpa Mao Li, this wine is of course for you. Have you finished making the dragon fangs and hidden weapons for me?"
Mao Li patted his chest and shouted, "What else can I say about things made by Mao Li? Guys, bring the things to Li Meng!"
Soon, a pair of dragon-tooth daggers and a bunch of hidden weapons were brought up on a tray.
Li Meng's eyes lit up at once. The pair of dragon tooth daggers were very delicately crafted, making Li Meng love them so much that she couldn't let them go.
The dragon tooth dagger is not big, with a simple shape and three symmetrical edges. It feels heavy and oppressive in the hand.
Li Meng just made a random gesture, and the dragon's tooth pierced deeply into the stone, just like a knife inserted into tofu, without any effort.
Li Meng took the sleeve arrows, flying knives, cross darts and other hidden weapons one by one and examined them carefully.
Each hidden weapon was made very delicately, in compliance with standards, and very powerful, which made Li Meng very satisfied.
This master of casting is worthy of being a master of casting. The hidden weapons he creates are beyond the reach of ordinary craftsmen.
Li Meng collected the hidden weapons one by one and put them in their proper places, then said to Mao Li, "Grandpa Mao Li, I came here this time because I want you to help me make a thin thorn sword..."
Before Li Meng finished speaking, Mao Li waved his hands and said, "No, no, I can't make this. To make a rapier, you need soft steel.
This requires very high quality materials, and I don’t have that kind of material here.”
Li Meng took out a piece of soft steel from the leather bag he carried with him, and said to Mao Li with a smile, "Grandpa Mao Li, I brought you the materials, look..."
Mao Li jumped up three feet high and shouted, "What are you talking about if I have the materials? Bring them here and I'll make them for you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "First of all, the thin sword must be tough enough so that it cannot break even if it is bent into a bow.
Secondly, this thin stabbing sword must gradually become thinner and may not have a sharp edge, but it must have a point.
Furthermore, the rapier must be long enough and able to be coiled up and hidden on the body."
Mao Li looked at Li Meng in surprise and asked, "Li Meng, are you sure you are not talking about a soft sword, but a thin piercing sword?"
Li Meng asked in confusion, "Is there any difference?"
Maori's beard trembled with excitement, and he shouted, "This is a huge difference. The blade of the soft sword is soft and can be tied around the waist like a belt.
But the thorn sword is hard, just with good elasticity. How can it be coiled up like a soft sword?
Your request is simply impossible to achieve!"
Li Meng thought for a moment and asked again, "Grandpa Mao Li, isn't there a way to compromise?"
Mao Li shook his beard, looked at Li Meng, and said, "There is a way, it depends on whether you accept it or not."
"What can we do? Let's talk about it."
In fact, Li Meng also knew that he could only choose between soft and hard. Too soft was not suitable for him, so he could only choose hard.
But it is hard and carrying it with you is a problem. What should I do?
Mao Li raised his head and looked at Li Meng and said, "I can make you a leather scabbard and put the scimitar sword directly in the scabbard. This scabbard can be sewn on your clothes or armor, so you can carry the scimitar sword with you, right?"
Li Meng thought about it and decided that he could accept this compromise.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa Maori, I'll do as you say."
Li Meng was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Mao Li.
"Li Meng, if you don't have anything urgent to do, stay here. I'll take you to see something good."
"nice one?"
Li Meng is most interested in unknown things.
"it is good!"
Anyway, he has a day off tomorrow, so Li Meng is not in a hurry. He still wants to watch Mao Li forge the fine sword he needs.
He got down to work right away. Before it got dark, Maori started the furnace immediately, put the soft steel into the fire, softened it, and made a sword blank.
Li Meng is not good at blacksmithing, but he knows a lot about the shapes of swords.
Li Meng was planning to give some advice to the dwarves like Maori, but ended up being the one who gave the advice instead.
While Mao Li was forging the sword blank, he said to Li Meng, "Generally speaking, swords are either flat or have a bulge in the middle.
However, this razor blade is different. The tip of the razor blade is very small and can break easily, so it must be made into a triangular shape to enhance its strength. "
Li Meng really didn't expect this. He had originally planned to give some advice to others.
However, Mao Li's words immediately left Li Meng speechless.
Watching Maori hitting the red-hot iron bar with the sound of "bang bang bang".
Gradually, a triangular iron cone took shape.
This should be the most primitive sword embryo, right?
A dwarf brought some white powder.
Maori spread them evenly on the red-hot triangular iron bar.
Suddenly, a blue smoke rose up, and the red iron bar suddenly turned blue.
Mao Li inserted the triangular iron bar into the charcoal fire and burned it at high temperature. Then he said to Li Meng, "Li Meng, come with me. I will take you to see something good."
This is the second time Maori has said this.
Anything that Maori says is a good thing must not be simple.
Looking at the sky, it was already dark, but they had not noticed because they had been staying by the fire.
A group of dwarves, holding various tools, surrounded Maori and Li Meng and walked out of the city.
This "good thing" is not even in Longcheng?
However, Li Meng did not ask. Since we are here, we should make the best of it.
Li Meng now not only wears a sword, but also has hidden weapons all over his body. He is almost armed to the teeth.
Just to make it easier to get the wine, Li Meng did not carry the copper stick with him, but left it in his residence in the City Lord's Mansion.
Although there is no curfew in Longcheng, there are still city guards guarding the city gates.
When they saw that it was the Maori and the dwarves leaving the city, they let them pass.
As for Li Meng, she was simply ignored by them.
Li Meng didn’t understand what the looks in these city guards’ eyes were.
As the leader, I stand out among this group of dwarves. How could they ignore me?
Even after leaving the city, Li Meng kept looking back, wondering if the city guards would call her back.
His idea is unnecessary, no one has that idea at all.
