As for Copperfurnace Castle, it is a hidden sect famous for manufacturing special equipment. Its design drawings are not outdated even now - such as the three-edged gun currently used by Li Ang.
Copperhearth Castle "treats everyone equally", no matter who they are, they can hire them as long as they can afford the price. Even if they can't pay the remuneration temporarily, they can pay for it with precious metals, alien blood, bones, etc.
Of course, this does not mean that Copperforge accepts all orders. They only accept forging invitations that they find interesting and challenging.
For example, a retractable sword that can be extended up to forty meters;
An armor full of spikes that can make the wearer feel twice as painful (coupled with the more painful the stronger the magic power);
A coat that makes the wearer look more solemn and majestic than his original appearance;
And so on.
Even the Tianfu built by previous Sui emperors had craftsmen from Tonglubao behind it.
Due to its irreplaceability, Copperhearth Castle maintains good relations with most sects, and no one will attempt to plunder or murder them - once they do so, it means becoming hostile to many sects.
There are different opinions on the reasons for the final destruction of Copperhearth Castle. Some people say that in order to make money during the war, they sold weapons to many forces at the same time and reaped the benefits themselves, which led to public outrage, loss of protection, and sudden destruction.
Some people say that they are too obsessed with alien-related technologies, and the entire sect collectively threw themselves into the forge in order to create an unprecedented wonder. There is no conclusion yet.
"According to the pricing at Chang'an Ghost Market, a well-preserved weapon with an inscription, clearly made in Copperfurnace, would cost at least 10,000 swords.
And if the weapon itself has special abilities, the price will skyrocket. It can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."
After getting new equipment, you still need to experiment with it.
Li Ang thought silently, pushed open the bookcase, opened the dark room, called out Mo Si from the palm of his hand, and asked Mo Si's clone to carry the glow crossbow, sneak into the ground, escape all the way to the outside of Chang'an City, start the teleportation outside the city, and flash to the east of the city.
The deepest part of the ghost market.
There is no one around here, only the wide underground river flows quietly.
The clone of Mo Si raised the glow crossbow. As soon as the silk thread was placed on the crossbow machine, part of the spiritual energy was automatically extracted and poured into the crossbow body.
Buzz——
Along with the sound of trembling air, two rays of light extended from both sides of the crossbow arm and met in the middle of the crossbow body.
A shining ball of light suddenly appeared in the center of the bowstring, illuminating the dark river of eternal ignorance.
Several albino fish whose eyes had not completely degenerated instinctively came closer and swam around the Mosi clone.
'A lot of spiritual power has been taken away, so it shouldn't cause the underground cave to collapse, right?'
Li Ang thought about it, controlled the Mosi clone to raise his arm, and fired the crossbow toward the far end of the underground river.
call out--
The ball of light on the crossbow disappeared in an instant, and an afterimage of a light band caused by the ball of light appeared above the long underground river, illuminating the pits and pits on the cave wall as bright as day.
Finally, the light ball touched the water, and then,
boom!!
Countless river water evaporated out of thin air, and the flat river surface suddenly collapsed, split into two like butter cut by a hot knife.
The cave was filled with billowing steam, and a large amount of gravel fell down.
When the water surface recovers,
A dull sound like a dragon's roar spread forward and back along the cave.
A few innocent white fish attracted by the bright light were frightened by the sound of fried fish and immediately fled in panic.
‘Can this power be called a hand crossbow? It’s not much different from an artillery piece, right?’
Li Ang looked at the falling gravel in the distance, smacked his lips in astonishment, controlled the Mosi clone to release the crossbow machine, and folded the crossbow arms on both sides again.
Although this is already the deepest part of Chang'an Ghost Market,
But if there is too much movement, it may attract prying eyes, so it is better to move away first.
Mosi's clone neatly picked up the glow crossbow, drilled into the rock wall, and disappeared.
And in the distant lower reaches of the dark river, a thin figure stood on the edge of the river, looking at the dim distance where there was a muffled sound, silent.
Wow.
There was a sound of water in the underground river beside him, and a snake-like beast hidden at the bottom of the river, so huge that it almost occupied half of the cave, quietly surfaced.
Its scales are steel-like blue-black, growing neatly in reverse directions, and each scale is two fingers thick.
As the giant snake twisted its body, its scales rubbed against each other, making a metallic sound like the collision of swords.
The stones piled up on the bank of the underground river were easily crushed into powder like sand castles when faced with the blown scales.
The giant snake raised its head, followed the figure, and stared at the dim front.
The sound of gravel falling into the river was heard one after another,
Due to the special structure of underground caves, even if the sound sounds extremely clear and very close, it may be coming from miles or even farther away.
There is no point in chasing sound now.
The figure silently withdrew his gaze,
The giant snake also blinked its eyelids, and a pair of orange eyeballs as big as a carriage emitted a faint light, vaguely illuminating the figure's cold and handsome face.
"Don't worry, that sound has nothing to do with us."
The thin figure, or rather the Ninth Prince of Yu Kingdom, King of Light Li Shan, reached out and patted the giant snake's wet scales.
He was still wearing the uniform of the academy, and his expression was not at all as gentle and cordial as when he faced his fellow academy students, subordinate officials or the people of Chang'an during the day.
Instead, there is a cold indifference to life.
Li Shan reached into his arms and took out a strange-shaped dagger.
The dagger is about a palm long and is polished from gem-like red crystals. The handle is wrapped with circles of old animal skin that is faintly black and exudes a strong bloody smell.
A second-level alien, a gentleman has no home.
Li Shan held the dagger, gently pressed the tip of the knife to the palm of his left hand, and with a casual stroke, the sharp blade cut the skin and blood spurted out instantly.
His face suddenly turned pale, but he still clenched his left fist tightly to control the direction of the blood splatter.
The giant snake, whose head was taller than his whole body, smelled the scent of blood, and immediately lowered itself obediently, got close to him, opened its big mouth, and caught the blood dripping from his palm.
The trickling blood dripped down, which contrasted sharply with the huge size of the alien beast.
But the giant snake focused its eyes and did not leak a drop of blood.
It even began to spit out its forked snake tongue, slowly closing its bloody mouth, as if preparing to bite his arm.
Li Shan's expression immediately became serious. He held the red crystal dagger and hammered the giant snake's forehead hard, making a dull sound. Only then did the giant snake that was about to move calm down again and regain its tameness.
"Drink, drink."
As the blood continued to flow away, Li Shan's face became paler. He murmured to himself and gently stroked the giant snake's neck with his other hand, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
