Chapter 328 Departure!
"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, and there is no rush to start." Not long after entering the market, Ian changed his mind.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the capital of Gondor, one of the largest cities of mankind, and there are all kinds of materials in the market.
"This market can probably be regarded as the most complete sample library in the world!" Ian said with emotion in his heart.
For the new equipment, he was already prepared to make do with it as much as possible.
Seeing these materials now, he decided that he couldn't just make do with it, and that he could design it carefully.
"Sir, what materials do you want to buy?" the guide asked Ian.
"Don't worry, let's take our time!" Ian replied.
It is not easy to come across such a complete material sample library, and you can observe it up close for free. Of course, he must first understand all the material research.
Research data not only plays an important role in designing and building equipment, but it can also be used after he recovers his strength!
Ian spent the whole day in the market, and visited almost all the shops selling materials in the market, as well as the stalls that sold materials.
The former are mostly known materials, ranging from common to rare.
The stalls are mainly unknown items, with richer categories, and often hidden surprises.
Tens of thousands of basic material data have greatly enriched Ian's material database.
Of course, being able to complete such a large workload is mainly due to the fact that Ian's research does not require complicated operations.
You only need to use the corresponding analytical ability on the material to understand the material performance in detail, and the research speed is naturally not slow!
In the end, Ian only took away a dozen or so materials, which is Ian's improved design.
Back in the small courtyard, Ian told the guide: "Arrange a blacksmith shop for me tomorrow!"
"Understood, I will tell the boss!" The guide agreed without hesitation.
"Well! See you tomorrow!" Ian nodded slightly.
The owner of the Hunter's Tavern was so considerate, he definitely wouldn't refuse this small request.
Sure enough, not long after the guide left, the tavern owner Al came to Ian's courtyard in person.
"Ian, what equipment are you going to build?" the tavern owner asked,
"Master Chris, the best swordsmith in Minas Tirith, cooperates with our tavern. I can arrange to jump in line and make equipment for you immediately."
The tavern owner is still very concerned about Ian's equipment needs.
Inviting the best swordsmith in the city to do it, or jumping in the queue, the price paid is definitely not small.
If Ian fails to return from Mirkwood, his investment will be in vain.
However, although the mission of Mirkwood was dangerous, his intuition told him that Ian would definitely be able to come back.
In decades of life, this intuition has never been wrong, and it has helped him make the right countless times.
Therefore, Ian has a need for equipment, so he naturally needs to increase investment.
"No need, Al!" Ian directly refused, "Just find me an empty blacksmith shop, I have to make my own equipment!"
The reason why he refused was not because he was embarrassed to accept this great gift, but because he simply looked down on the ordinary forging masters in this world!
Instead, the tavern owner was very surprised by Ian's decision: "You want to build the equipment yourself?!"
"Of course!" Ian nodded affirmatively, all equipment is for his own use, and he only believes in his forging strength
"Okay, I will arrange it for you!" The tavern owner didn't say anything.
He was able to manage the Hunter Tavern so well because he knew the principle of customer first.
No matter how outrageous the guest's request may seem, as long as it does not violate the principle, they dare to provide service!
And Ian's request is not outrageous, at best it is unreliable!
And compared to the cost of hiring a master swordsmith, it is much easier to find an empty blacksmith shop.
Especially at this moment in time!
The next day, the tavern owner took Ian to a relatively remote blacksmith shop.
There was no one in the blacksmith shop, and judging by the condition of the stove, there had been no fire for at least half a month.
Before Ian could ask, the tavern owner explained directly:
"Because of the equipment orders from the kingdom and the dwarves, many blacksmith shops have closed early. This is one of them, and it is also the one with the most complete casting tools!"
"Very good!" Ian walked around the blacksmith shop, and he was quite satisfied with the result.
The so-called complete tools are actually not attractive to him.Moreover, the tools in this blacksmith shop can only be said to be barely usable, and they are definitely not complete.
What really satisfied Ian was the clean environment of the blacksmith shop.
Confirming that the blacksmith shop met his requirements, Ian directly started to light the fire.
Seeing his actions, the tavern owner immediately asked:
"Ian, do you mind if I watch?"
He was mainly curious, how could a bounty hunter have the confidence to build his own equipment?
"You can do whatever you want!" Ian didn't refuse.
His forging process is unpretentious, without any fancy skills.
In addition, some of the materials are semi-finished products that he processed in advance last night.
Therefore, Ian doesn't have to worry about being spotted.
From lighting a fire to smelting raw materials, Ian's speed is not fast on the surface, but in fact, because of his extremely skilled technology, the overall speed is quite fast.
Seeing this, the tavern owner was quite surprised, but at the same time very glad:
"Fortunately, I didn't refuse yesterday, such a skillful movement, the technique is definitely not bad!"
A powerful bounty hunter and a skilled swordsmith are completely different concepts.
The value of a swordsmith is obviously much greater than that of a bounty hunter, and he is more worthy of wooing.
"No, we need to continue to increase investment!" The tavern owner unconsciously began to think about this problem.
In his opinion, the previous investment was not small, and it was enough to win over a powerful bounty hunter.
But if it was replaced by a swordsmith, this investment is far from enough.
Why can the dwarves recover their strength quickly?
It's not because their forging technology is the best in the mainland!
But after thinking about it, the tavern owner didn't speak rashly, but just quietly stood by and watched.
It wasn't until Ian finished smelting the raw materials that he spoke:
"Master, there are still a lot of precious materials in the warehouse of the Hunter Tavern. Master can go and have a look, if necessary, feel free to use it!"
This time, the title of the tavern owner has changed, and Ian is directly identified as the master blacksmith.
There are a lot of precious materials, which made Ian a little interested: "Oh! What precious materials are there?"
"There are many types, and there are basically common and precious materials, but the main ones are unfamiliar materials, which have filled a warehouse!" The tavern owner replied.
This answer made Ian a little surprised: "You are a tavern, how can you collect so many materials?"
I thought he only had one point, but he didn't expect to have a warehouse?
What satisfies Ian the most is that most of them are unknown materials.
What he needs is the kind of material, not the quantity.
"They were all brought back by the bounty hunters when they completed their missions. I feel that special materials will be accepted at a low price!" the tavern owner explained.
"Okay! I don't need it for now, I'll check it out when I come back next time!" Ian replied.
Of course he wanted the materials, anyway, don't want anything delivered to your door for nothing.
It's just that Ian is not allowed to check it now. Anyway, the materials are in the warehouse, and it doesn't matter when he checks it.
And this time the raw materials have been smelted, and Ian is not going to modify the plan again.
Anyway, the materials this time are good enough, and the performance is enough to meet the design requirements of the equipment, so it is not worth wasting time.
"Okay, master, I will keep the materials for you, you can get them anytime!" The tavern owner immediately promised.
"Hmm!..." Ian nodded and continued to forge equipment.
Compared with smelting materials, the procedure of equipment forging is much more complicated.
And because of the crude tools, the forging efficiency was further reduced.
Fortunately, Ian's movements were unexpectedly smooth and harmonious, and he felt full of power when he swung the forging hammer.
The whole forging process has an artistic beauty, and it is not boring.
"This forging technology has probably surpassed those forging masters!" The tavern owner was amazed.
He had been fortunate enough to witness the forging process of several master blacksmiths, including the master blacksmith of the dwarves.
Their movements are equally smooth and harmonious, but none of them presents an artistic beauty.
In the past two days, the last piece of equipment took shape.
"clang!!!"
Ian slammed the hammer on the iron felt, announcing the end of the forging!
After watching for two full days, the infatuated tavern owner finally woke up like a dream.
"Al, you keep this dagger for self-defense!" Ian directly picked up the last forged dagger and gave it to the tavern owner.
"No need, Master! I don't get rewarded for nothing, I can't take this dagger." The tavern owner refused.
His eyes were eager, but he still resisted the temptation and rejected Ian's gift.
He had seen it during the simple test of the dagger just now, and it was as decisive as cutting tofu!
"Take it! The dagger is just forged from extra scraps and is useless to me!" Ian forced the dagger to the tavern owner.
It's just a defective product, it's not in Ian's eyes at all, and it's best to use it as a favor.
"This...thank you, master!" The tavern owner hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted Ian's dagger.
"You're welcome, you deserve it!" Ian waved his hand and turned around to check his equipment.
There are three long swords, one for common use and two for spare; two short swords, used as short soldiers; in addition, there are spear points for long soldiers, and iron beads for long-range hidden weapons.
Not only are these weapons sharp and have reached the level of divine weapons, but their toughness and hardness have also reached the level of divine weapons.
Compared with the real magic weapon, it is just a little bit less legendary, and has a special ability that comes with it.
"It's a pity that the materials are not top-notch, and we can't endow the weapon with special abilities. I hope to have a bigger harvest when I come back next time!" Ian sighed in his heart.
During the casting process, Ian discovered that the birth of a magic weapon requires many special conditions.
This already belongs to the category of world law.
Ian can't even touch the laws, so naturally he can't change the laws of the world.
After checking the weapons, then the armor.
Chain armor, scale armor, and round shield, a complete set of defensive equipment, is enough for Ian to resist the attack of the divine soldiers!
However, the most important thing about this set of equipment is not its strong defense, but its anti-corrosion effect.
After packing up the equipment, Ian asked again:
"Al, has the information about Mirkwood arrived? I'm going to leave today!"
The tavern owner took out a roll of parchment directly from his body:
"I've got it, this is the latest detailed information on Mirkwood!"
In fact, he had obtained the information a long time ago, but he was attracted by Ian's casting process and forgot to take it out immediately.
Ian put away the parchment and put it on his body without looking at it carefully.
"Master, do you need our mount?" The tavern owner asked again.
"No need!" Ian resolutely refused.
He has already checked the map, the road from here to the dark forest is not safe, most ordinary mounts can't run very far, it's not as fast as his own legs.
However, Ian's refusal did not make the tavern owner give up his idea.
When sending Ian out of the city, he still gave him a BMW called Zhuifeng. It is said that Zhuifeng has a special bloodline.
"...Thank you, goodbye!" Ian thought for a while, but finally did not refuse.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.
There is a mount instead of walking, so why not run with your own legs?
Just like that, Ian disappeared into the wilderness riding on Chasing Wind.
Soon, one person and one ride gradually moved away from Minas Tirith. After making sure that there was no one nearby, Ian immediately put away his luggage and equipment.
Chasing the wind instantly reduced his load, and his speed immediately increased by a few points.
"Chasing the wind, go straight in this direction!" Ian pointed out the direction for Chasing the wind, and then let go of the rein, allowing it to play freely.
Zhuifeng has a special bloodline, has a strong sense of direction, and is very smart, no matter how he walks, he will not deviate from the direction!
At night, Ian lay leisurely on Zhuifeng's back, looking at the full moon in the sky, quietly fascinated!
"I don't know how the situation on the earth is?" He was very worried about the situation on the earth,
"With the support of hell, the attack of different dimensions should start soon? I hope they can hold on!"
Judging from the power of hell that he has come into contact with, Ian believes that several latitudes such as the bone hell have been eroded by hell quite seriously.
Perhaps several hell-level different dimensions have completely turned into 'hell'!
How long can a few guardians continue to suppress after several different dimensions have gained the power of hell?
"Bang!" Ian threw a stone casually, killing a monster, without raising his eyes, and continued to be lost in thought:
"It's better not to have this worst outcome!"
It's a pity that he still can't contact the earth, let alone return to the earth.
Therefore, restoring strength as soon as possible and restoring contact with the earth are his only goals in the near future.
In fact, the current situation on Earth is not as difficult as he imagined.
The power of hell was touched, and several hell-level alien dimensions did respond quickly.
It's just that before the new round of riots started, they suddenly died down and turned from offense to defense.
Several guardians immediately began to discuss countermeasures.
"What happened? Why did the flesh and blood hell suddenly stop?" Zeus asked first.
"I don't know, the same goes for Mechanical Hell!" Adam also shook his head.
It is normal for them not to know, because this unexpected change did not originate from the extremely large dimension itself, but from outside the dimension.
In fact, Yi accidentally helped the earth!
It is the gods from the world of Lord of the Rings who are causing trouble to the great hells.
After they defeated the power of hell, they came after them. They didn't find hell, but they found several dimensions that were infiltrated by the power of hell!
There are powerful enemies from outside, and the several dimensions naturally cannot spare to continue to trouble the earth.
"Same!" The presiding judge also nodded, indicating that the bone hell is the same.
The Fate Witch also nodded, and suggested:
"We can't be so passive, the hell infiltration plan must start immediately!"
Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and our side has temporarily lost the greatest mobile force.
Blindly waiting passively will never have a good result in the end!
Several guardians also understood this truth, so they all said: "Agree!"
"Then let's get started!"
……
I'm sorry!I lost the title two days ago!
