111: Chapter 15: The Big Arms Purchase_2 111: Chapter 15: The Big Arms Purchase_2 “If you are a priest, why are you in a weapon shop?” said owner Rogge with a bitter smile, “The magical musical instruments embedded with crystal nuclei and gems and can store song power are usually made by the temple itself.
Of course, if you also practice martial arts, I can make a magic weapon with magic crystal for you, but it has to be custom-made.
Even in the human kingdom, only a few large weapon shops can supply these, and the sale of magic weapons to the Bimon Kingdom is prohibited.
You have to give us enough time to smuggle.”
“Who would have thought, you actually know crystal nuclei and gems can store song power?” Liu Zhenhan continued to browse the shelves, laughing cheerfully.
Everybody knows that.
He thought in his heart, though his face still wore a casual expression.
The Dwarf Artisan buried his head and started swinging his sledgehammer, quietly grumbling in dwarfish, “This one’s definitely nuts.”
The Taurens looked at each other and smiled, then went back to work.
Liu Zhenhan could understand dwarfish, thanks to Helen’s wisdom enlightenment.
He just sniffed and pretended not to understand.
“You guys should also choose…” Liu Zhenhan greeted the pandas.
“We don’t mind, we still prefer our fishing forks and our own hands.” Gude respectfully said to his master.
“Fishing forks, huh?
We also have the pikes used by the fiercest troll hunters amongst you Beamons.
Sir, why don’t you help your friends choose?” Owner Rogge called upon his Tauren artisan to open a row of boxes beside the shelf, which were full of newly sharpened pikes, glistening with a cold, blue sheen.
The markings of carbon elements created a dynamic cloud pattern, extending onto the shaft of the weapon.
The junction between the spearhead and the handle was wrapped with red squirrel tail fluff, making the one and half-length weapon seem solemn and lethal.
“Great stuff!” Liu Zhenhan was somewhat satisfied.
This spearhead was a little like the tri-edge military thorn he used to use, only the blood groove was not as deep.
“Of course!
This is the weapon our dwarf masters specially designed for the ‘Troll Hunters’ among the Beamon army who hunt ogres!
We just finished the first batch, and each spear is only fifty gold coins.
Imagine, sir, owning such a pike, after you have killed the ogres in Bog Village, how many cheers you will earn from the Piegel women!” Owner Rogge said insincerely.
He didn’t believe this guy would go hunting ogres.
“It would have been better if the blood groove was a bit deeper.” Liu Zhenhan professionally assessed the weapon, “That way, it would bleed out faster, and the wound wouldn’t be able to be stitched up!
By the way, do you have any poison that I can smear on it?”
The store owner’s sweat trickled down again.
He realized that this Piegel should give up any hope of being a priest, there’s more potential for him as a witch doctor.
“Er…Sir, we don’t sell poison here, if you want that, you can go to your Beamons’ witch doctor to get some, they are good at making that…” owner Rogge wiped the sweat from his face, “If you are willing to buy this pike, I can figure something out.”
“Deal!
Done deal, I’ll add fifty gold coins for you to get me half a gallon of poison.” Liu Zhenhan nodded, “Give them five pikes each, with sheaths, that they can wear on their bodies.”
“Alright then.” Between his conscience and money, the shop owner chose the latter.
“This is a crossbow, right?” Liu Zhenhan took down a standard military crossbow hanging on the wall.
The crossbow, although a yard long and finely carved, still seemed incredibly crude in Liu Zhenhan’s eyes.
“This is the military crossbow from our Dorott Duchy, also known as a foot crossbow, you need to use your foot to string it, and it has a range of up to two hundred and fifty yards.” The trader said proudly.
“Anything beyond thirty yards with this thing is utterly unthreatening, lacks a reliable sight, and the trajectory of its bolts can easily get affected by external factors.” Liu Zhenhan sneered.
“The foot crossbow can’t be made according to current Beamon craftsmanship, it’s our human…” The owner argued a little.
“Let me test its power then.” Liu Zhenhan took down the military crossbow, weighed it in his hand – it was heavy.
A light pull broke the military crossbow without difficulty.
This display of strength made the shop owner rethink his impressions of him.
“You can try it on the target range at the back.” The human trader took a crossbow bolt from a box and handed it over.
“No need.” Liu Zhenhan took the bolt, placed it in the crossbow, and waved his arm around, “This thing is simply a nuisance.
It can only fire one arrow, and reloading is cumbersome.
Unless it’s equipped on a large scale in an army, it will have little effect.
Besides, there isn’t even a sight on it, the accuracy must be lacking.
Do you know what the most effective way to attack with your human military crossbow is?”
“Which way?” The human trader played humble, he thought this guy had read too many novels.
“It’s best to jab it against the head.” Liu Zhenhan tapped the dwarf with the military crossbow.
As the dwarf raised his head, the glossy black crossbow was already poking into his mouth.
The long bow pressed the dwarf master’s head back, whitening his face.
“I once killed a man like this, I blew his head off.” Liu Zhenhan said in dwarfish, “This guy thought I didn’t understand certain dialects.”
The Dwarf master’s mouth was jammed full with the crossbow, feeling nauseous, he didn’t dare to move.
The hammer in his hand dropped to the ground with a clang.
The dwarf saw the Piegel’s finger on the trigger and had his heart in his mouth.
The human owner quickly came to make peace, he realized this Piegel was problematic.
Liu Zhenhan burst into laughter, retracted the military crossbow, and patted the dwarf on the shoulder.
“Do you have daggers?” Liu Zhenhan asked again.
“Yes, yes…” Owner Rogge directed the Tauren Artisan to bring over a box, “Take a look, these are all the best daggers.
They’re weighty and of good quality.
Sharp enough to cut rocks, each … five gold coins.”
“A bit pricey, but doable.” Liu Zhenhan picked up a half-foot long willow-leaf-shaped dagger and tested the blade with his finger, he couldn’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship.
This kind of curved dagger, when it penetrates the human body, is more smooth to use.
He didn’t expect the dwarf would have an understanding of bionics.
“How many do you need?” The owner asked cautiously.
“Thirty per person!” Said Liu Zhenhan, “Get rid of the handguard for me, smear it with poison…
deepen the blood groove!
Who needs a handguard when you’re stabbing people?
Along here….”
Liu Zhenhan flicked his finger alongside the owner’s third rib, “…up along here, one stab and you’re in the heart.”
Owner Rogge’s sweat cascaded down again.
He envisioned, could it be that tomorrow, at Witherspoon’s bank or somewhere, a gang of masked robbers would suddenly pop up, in their hands shiny daggers and pikes…..
