Yin Wuyou handed Zhou Shu a kettle and said softly.
Zhou Shu looked at her strangely, didn't you ask me to come?
Woman, ha!
He felt that Yin Wuyou was a little strange today, looking at him as if he had ill intentions.
She didn't talk like this in the past!
Although she is beautiful and has a nice voice, she usually talks in a cold manner, but she is not as gentle as today!
Yes, it’s gentle!
Zhou Shu was excited. Isn't Yin Wuyou planning something evil?
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Why is she being so gentle to herself?
Is it possible that you still want to share your ten thousand taels of gold?
Or has she not given up on being responsible for the gambling battle between Da Xia and Da Wei?
A look of vigilance suddenly appeared in Zhou Shu's eyes. He quietly moved away from Yin Wuyou and said, "Da Sikong has a destiny, how dare I not come?"
Yin Wuyou felt a sudden pain in his heart. Is he sad?
I forced him to come here, was he hurt by me?
Yes, he has already paid so much for Daxia and for me. Who am I to force him?
Yin Wuyou's eyes were a little moist. She looked straight at Zhou Shu, looking like she was about to cry.
Zhou Shu was shocked. If he can't do it hard, why should he be soft?
What happened today?
Not only did Yin Wuyou feel that something was not normal, but Shen Yue also felt a little weird.
Why does it feel like the way he looks at me is filled with murderous intent?
Zhou Shu practiced the visualization of the true forms of the Five Mountains and even initially condensed his spiritual consciousness. He believed in his own feelings.
This Shen Yue really has murderous intentions towards him!
Why?
Zhou Shu was very sure that this was the first time he and Shen Yue had met.
Is it because I am from Daxia that he wants to get rid of me?
This is not impossible, after all, the genius assassination list was created by Wei.
Zhou Shuke still remembered that his name was included in it.
If it is because of this reason, then it is normal for Shen Yue to have murderous intentions towards him.
But he is a deputy envoy, and he is also responsible for assassinations?
The key is, why do I feel that in addition to murderous intent, there is also hatred in his eyes?
Have you ever offended him?
Zhou Shu was confused.
He originally had no intention of coming here today. After all, Shen Yue has a good reputation. If those five swords could not defeat him, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
Zhou Shu has no interest in being a stepping stone for others.
He is here now, naturally because he has changed his mind, and the reason for his change of mind is also very simple, because the next weapon appears on the map of the divine weapon.
Now that we are 100% sure, of course Zhou Shu will come.
Anyway, weapons will be forged sooner or later, so if you take advantage of the opportunity to do something good, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
"Do you want to start?"
Like a well-behaved little girl, Yin Wuyou said softly while serving Zhou Shu tea and water.
Zhou Shu felt a little scared in his heart, and he did not dare to delay any longer.
"Da Sikong, please."
With that said, Zhou Shu came to a casting furnace not far from Shen Yue.
Shen Yue no longer looked at Zhou Shu. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened his eyes.
The look in his eyes was already calm.
All his attention was focused on forging weapons.
Even if he is just forging a standard weapon, he still has to put in a lot of effort.
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action.
Zhou Shu could naturally see Shen Yue's change.
He sighed inwardly, this pretty boy surnamed Shen, who looks like a human being, is actually quite capable.
The weapon-casting apprentices in the Daxia Weapon-casting Division's workshop are just skilled workers. Only people like this can be called craftsmen——
Well, Shen Yue was not an ordinary person even in the Wei Dynasty.
The reason why he was not promoted to Weapon Master was because of deliberate suppression, not because he couldn't become a Weapon Master!
Shen Yue's performance made Zhou Shu pay more attention to this competition.
Although he is fully confident, he still has to have the attitude he deserves.
In the words of a previous life, one must have the spirit of craftsman...
"Meng Sikong!"
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
"Send me some more iron materials. These are not enough."
Meng Sikong's face darkened. I am the boss of your immediate boss. You order me to do something?
But now is not the time to argue. Meng Sikong waved his hand, and his Yuanwailang immediately went to make arrangements.
Only ordinary iron materials can be used to cast standard weapons. It doesn't matter how much is used. As long as other rare materials are not used, it is not a violation.
Seeing that Zhou Shu kept asking people to transport iron materials, hundreds of kilograms of iron materials were piled around his casting furnace.
Even Shen Yue, who was immersed in the craftsmanship, couldn't help but raise his head and glance in the direction of Zhou Shu.
What does he need so much iron for?
It shouldn’t take so much to cast a standard weapon.
Could it be that he was worried that the casting would not be successful?
Shen Yue was slightly confused, and the hammer under his hand almost deflected. He didn't dare to think too much and focused on his weapon.
Zhou Shu urged him several times, and he finally calmed down after three hundred kilograms of iron materials were piled around him.
Everyone saw that his figure was covered by iron materials, and they were a little confused.
Although Yin Wuyou, Meng Jinguang and others are not Weapon Forging Masters, they are the senior leaders of the Weapon Forging Department and have some understanding of Weapon Forging.
For the same weapon, if more iron is used in casting, its weight will be greater, and correspondingly, its power may be greater.
Imagine that a sword weighing ten kilograms and a sword weighing one hundred kilograms are fighting against each other. Who is more likely to win?
However, given the size of the weapons, the difficulty of casting a broadsword weighing a hundred kilograms is quite different from that of casting a broadsword weighing ten kilograms.
How to stuff more iron materials into a fixed volume is itself a kind of weapon-making technique.
Daxia Weaponry Division can indeed forge standard weapons weighing a hundred kilograms, but weapons weighing three hundred kilograms are really unheard of.
"Da Sikong, has Zhou Shu developed a new weapon?"
Meng Jinguang asked in a low voice.
Yin Wuyou shook her head and looked at Zhou Shu nervously.
Originally she was very calm, but when the matter involved Zhou Shu, she became a little confused.
She herself doesn't know what's going on with her now, and she doesn't dare to think about it deeply.
"I'm afraid that if he loses, he will embarrass the Forging Department!"
Yin Wuyou said to himself in his heart.
While everyone was speculating, Zhou Shu had already started taking action.
Every move he makes is completely different from that of an ordinary weapon-casting apprentice. Every move is condensed to the extreme. One point added or one point taken away is wrong.
Moreover, there is a sense of beauty in his movements.
It makes people feel that Zhou Shu is not making soldiers, but dancing...
Little stars appeared in Yin Wuyou's pupils.
He can forge weapons and write poems, and he is good-looking. Except for his poor martial arts, he has no shortcomings. Yin Wuyou thought to himself.
This discussion was conducted within the Forging Department.
In other words, except for the people from the Daxia Casting Army and Shen Yue, there were no outsiders at the scene.
Even in the Great Xia Weapon Casting Department, only the Chief Surgeon Kong Yin Wuyou and the four great Sikong Meng Jinguang were present. None of the Weapon Forging Masters or Weapon Forging Masters came.
The mere discussion between the weapon-casting apprentices really couldn't get them interested enough to come.
On the other hand, the ranking of standard weapons spectrum, this time related to the ownership of the two states, they paid more attention to it than in previous years.
The failure of these people to come had a result.
That's the people on the scene now. Except for Zhou Shu and Shen Yue, the rest are all laymen...
Including the dozen or so carefully selected weapon-making apprentices, they were also confused and couldn't understand what Zhou Shu and Shen Yue were doing.
Shen Yue concentrated on forging his own weapons and did not dare to look at Zhou Shu distractedly, so no one at the scene could see what Zhou Shu was doing.
They now regard this as a performance. After all, Zhou Shu's movements are so graceful and make people feel that they are very powerful!
"The conch surnamed Shen blew very loudly, wasn't he outdone by Zhou Shu?"
Sikong whispered.
Although Meng Jinguang didn't want to admit it, he agreed in his heart that Zhou Shu was indeed amazing.
"Tell me, which weapon will be ranked number one in this list of standard weapons? Is it possible for our Great Xia's horse-cutting sword to be used?"
The waiting process was anxious, and everyone started talking quietly.
"If it were previous years, I think it's very likely that the Zhanma Dao would be ranked first. But Dawei is not a fool. If they dare to do this, they must have some trump card."
The horse-killing sword has already shown its power on the southern battlefield, and it is impossible for the Wei Dynasty not to get the news.
Although they can't get the complete Zhanma Sword, they can definitely understand the power of Zhanma Sword.
Under such circumstances, they still dare to gamble with Daxia. It is impossible to say that they have no trump card.
Of course, the monarchs and ministers of Daxia are not fools. They must have thought of this. Since they dare to agree, they are not putting all their cards on Zhan Ma Dao or Zhou Shu.
Daxia also has its own trump card.
"I am somewhat looking forward to what new weapons Zhou Shu can forge this time."
A Sikong said, "Every time he forges a weapon, it's refreshing. Maybe this time he can forge a weapon stronger than the horse-cutting sword."
"If it is stronger than Zhanma Dao, then the possibility of winning the championship will be greater."
Yin Wuyou listened to the discussions of the Sikong people, but did not participate. She was thinking now that when things here are over, she must go to the palace to find her father and seek justice for Zhou Shu.
Why don't you give him the reward he deserves for his great achievements?
Don’t be such a bully!
Yin Wuyou felt aggrieved for Zhou Shu.
Is Zhou Shu aggrieved?
He is not aggrieved at all!
Thinking that he was going to win ten thousand taels of gold from Shen Yue this time, he was in a very happy mood.
Is there anything happier than making money?
Yes, pick up money! The kind that you don’t have to pay back!
Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the description of this weapon in the Atlas of Divine Weapons.
I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that other standard weapons are scum!
Zhou Shu's movements may seem unpleasant, but in fact they are not slow at all.
Those three hundred kilograms of iron materials are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No one paid attention, otherwise they would be wondering, where did these iron materials go?
They did not see that a piece of iron one foot square seemed to have undergone strange changes under Zhou Shu's beating, and in the end only a fist-sized piece remained.
A total of three hundred kilograms of iron material was beaten by Zhou Shu, and what was left was only the size of an adult's head!
This kind of thing, which is almost against the rules, happened in front of everyone.
"What is this technique?"
A Sikong was surprised and said, "Meng Sikong, you are well-informed. Zhou Shu, wouldn't you have been promoted to the Weapon Master? Why do I feel that this is a bit like the method of the Weapon Master?"
"It's not the weapon-smith's method."
Meng Jinguang shook his head. He couldn't understand what the method was. "The biggest feature of the weapon casters is that they don't use ordinary fire to cast weapons."
"Many of the imported materials cannot be melted by ordinary fire at all. I think this may be similar to the hundred-smelting steel he proposed before, and it is an original method of his."
"Although I don't understand it very well, it seems like he beat out all the impurities in the iron material, leaving only the essence, a piece of iron material, taking only one-tenth of the essence, and casting it like this Weapons..."
As Meng Jinguang spoke, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Generally, a standard weapon can be cast by consuming more than ten kilograms, or at most dozens of kilograms of iron.
The weapons forged by Zhou Shu now have not even a shadow, but have already consumed three hundred kilograms of iron. Not to mention anything else, the cost alone is dozens of times that of ordinary weapons.
Meng Jinguang had some knowledge, but he still couldn't imagine what a weapon forged like this would look like.
Over there, Zhou Shu finished processing the iron materials and finally started the formal casting.
At this time, Shen Yue's side has come to an end.
What he forged was actually a knife!
It seems that he wants to defeat Zhou Shu in the field he is best at!
The knife made by Shen Yue has an extremely wide blade, almost two palms long, and about five feet long. The back of the knife is thick and the blade is thin. You can feel its murderous aura just by looking at it.
The expressions of Yin Wuyou and others became a little solemn. It seems that this knife is not as lethal as the horse-cutting sword.
No wonder Da Wei is so confident. The sword in front of him may not be their real trump card, but it is already no less powerful than a horse-killing sword.
It is conceivable that the Wei Dynasty put a lot of effort into standard weapons!
After Shen Yue completed the casting, he did not leave the casting furnace or speak. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu's casting has also entered an advanced stage, and the blanks of weapons have gradually appeared under his hands.
It can be roughly seen that this is another knife different from the five standard long knives he made before.
Sure enough, he has developed a new weapon.
Shen Yue's expression was also a little solemn. Not to mention how powerful Zhou Shu's sword was, his ability to develop new weapons was already terrifying enough. No wonder Wei's secret agent reported that Zhou Shu recommended his immediate execution!
"呲呲——"
With a harsh sound, Zhou Shu completed the final step of quenching the casting. The long knife was soaked in cold oil without being taken out. Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue.
"It's over? It's so fast."
Zhou Shu said.
"Is this your knife?"
"I heard that you developed the horse-zanting sword and maximized its lethality. Look at my dragon-slaying sword. How does it compare to the horse-zanting sword?"
