Chapter 71 Raising Timber
"Who said we don't have this condition?" Yae Shenzi lightly covered her lips. Although she was not a craftsman, she knew the forging process of the artifact very well, because Kage was a forging master. When she was a child, she watched movies about making weapons.
This is how her true meaning of Kagura came about, and she knew the basic process very well. Safir was a little moved by what she said, but still confirmed: "Are you sure?"
"Hmm~" Yae Shenzi's eyebrows were crooked, as if to say: Guess.
Safire knew that this fox would not tell the truth, and she had to decide everything by herself. Everyone else looked at her, waiting for her decision. In the end, she clapped her hands and said, "Done! How can a child cry all the time? There is no betting dog that always loses! Let’s bet on this one!”
Seeing Safiir's reaction, Yae Kamiko couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. This guy really knows how to act. He is a typical example of someone who behaves well when he gets an advantage. But she didn't care about it. She just stepped forward and picked up the prototype of the cross and started to explain.
"Except for Safire, others may not understand the characteristics of this weapon. Although it is a variant of a long-handled weapon, I prefer to classify it as a magical weapon."
"General long-handled weapons are divided into spear heads and spear bodies. We all know these very well. Whether it is a spear, a spear, a sword or our Inazuma's unique naginata, it can be classified in this way. But the cross cannot be distinguished in such a simple way. .”
"It is completely different from ordinary long-handled weapons. Anyone who is good at using guns knows that a gun should be flexible and changeable. It can swim like a snake and shoot out like a dragon. Therefore, the material of the gun body should be light and tough. A gun body that is too hard will Like a fire stick, it will only make the user stiff and unable to exert his strength."
"So the barrels of most long-handled weapons are made of materials with higher toughness, which is a major difficulty in forging. The head of the gun has a sharp and offensive edge, so that it can break through the opponent's armor and cause damage. Kun Feng, that was your plan from the beginning, right?"
Kun Feng was called out and scratched his head in embarrassment. He was right. That was indeed his plan. After all, he had never seen Lord Dark Priest use a cross. At first, he thought the tip of the cross was a sharp weapon similar to a cross blade.
After receiving Kunfeng's affirmation, Yae Shenzi corrected him: "So I need you to do the opposite. The stronger the grip, the better. It doesn't need any toughness. Just forge it like a fire stick. Can you do it?"
"This..." Kun Feng looked at Safiir hesitantly. This woman was not trying to trick him. If Master Anmu was not satisfied, wouldn't he have sent it?
Unexpectedly, Safir nodded with great interest: "Do as she says, she was the one who made the cross I put on."
"Yes." After receiving Safier's approval, Kun Feng felt relieved. The leader had spoken, and he no longer had to take the blame. He could just go ahead with confidence.
Safire was more interested in what Yae Shenzi said next, because this continent of Teyvat currently does not have welding technology. It is impossible to forge the head and the handle separately and then weld them together. They can only forge them as a whole. She wanted to know how the other party planned to deal with this problem.
Seemingly reading Safier's thoughts, Yae Shenzi gave a slightly mysterious smile: "Kunfeng, what are you waiting for? Go and forge the gun body."
"But, the original embryo..." Kun Feng did not have the original embryo in his hand, and the original embryo was still in the hands of the Eightfold Divine Son.
"Who told you to forge it with the original embryo? Just go and forge an extremely hard handle. Do you understand?" Yae Shenzi showed the momentum of Lord Gongji.
Kun Feng was so shocked that he didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he quickly went to forge. Then, Yae Shenzi looked at Granu again: "Little guy, I still have to rely on you for the front end."
Granu didn't expect that there would be places where she would need to work by herself. She immediately cheered up. These were rare practice opportunities that would help improve her alchemy level.
"It's not a difficult matter. Do you have a map of the properties of wood in the Mondstadt area? It needs to be more detailed." Yae Kamiko made a puzzling request. Although Sutou was confused, he still nodded. .
"Go and get one. Let's choose the materials to be used next. Dream wood is still not suitable." After Yae Shenzi finished speaking, Sugar ran away immediately. She remembered that there was a book about various materials in the alchemy workshop. She had to find out the notes about regional timber.
Lisa heard what she meant and asked: "Are you planning to use wood to make the tip? The bearing capacity of wood is probably a bit low, and it can easily be damaged."
Yae Shenzi nodded: "So I still need to make a careful selection. Of course, I won't just use wood."
Soon, Sugar ran back with the notes she found.
Yae Kamiko looked through the notes carefully.
"Fir, pine, birch, eucalyptus, and fragrant wood. That's roughly it. The wood and texture of fir are more prominent. It's okay for making furniture, but it's average for making weapons."
"The characteristic of pine wood is that it is unpretentious. If treated properly, its ability to withstand insect infestation and corrosion will be highlighted. It is also hard in texture and is a good material." Yae Kamiko made a small mark on the page of pine wood and continued. Look towards the rest of the wood behind.
"Birch wood..." After reading the performance introduction, Yae Kamiko frowned. This is a typical furniture wood with a soft texture, easy processing, and smooth cut surfaces. The use lives up to its reputation, and the furniture produced is beautiful and elegant. There was no comment from Yae Shenzi, so I passed it directly. She turned another page.
"Cuihua wood has beautiful color and unique wood. It can be regarded as a relatively average wood. But average means that there are no outstanding advantages and no consideration." She shook her head, and Cuihua wood was also excluded.
In the end, only the fragrant wood was left. Yae Kamiko looked at the introduction of the fragrant wood: "It is rich in oil and has a unique aroma." Her brows wrinkled again, "This thing can only be used as a decoration, right? It is not qualified to be used as furniture. ." The properties of the fragrant wood are similar to those of ordinary dreamwood. It is a few grades worse than the dreamwood produced by the sacred cherry tree Yae Shenzi used before. She shook her head. Obviously, the fragrant wood is not good.
She turned back a few more pages, and suddenly she saw a good piece of wood: "Quesha wood, invulnerable to wind and rain, immortal for a hundred years." Her eyes lit up slightly, this was the qualified material she wanted.
Sugar reminded from the side: "There is no place of production in Mondstadt, the main place of production is Liyue."
In other words, this kind of wood is not available for the time being. This was undoubtedly bad news. Yae Shenzi was hesitant. Should he settle for the next best thing? In fact, pine wood is not unusable, but sand wood is undoubtedly better. I was boasting about it just now, but now it is a second-class material, which is unacceptable to Yae Shenzi.
Seeing that she had made a decision, Safir said, "Are you sure Queshamu is the best?"
Yae Shenzi looked at her and nodded: "Currently, the best one is Queshamu. Can you think of a way?"
Just kidding, who is Safier? He is just a small piece of wood, but he is easy to catch.
"Wait." After saying that, she closed her eyes and disappeared in the next second. A few minutes later, when Safire reappeared, she came from the entrance of the Goethe Hotel. She directed several people The Fool soldiers were carrying several long logs.
Safir showed everyone: "Liyue's specialty wood is sandwood. It was just mined from Lingquguan."
Coincidentally, when she returned to the Yanshang Teahouse, she saw Ada directing a group of men to decorate the room. She asked if there was sand wood, and Ada gave her these logs. And told her that it was sent here at the request of the Executive Officer. She didn't know which one it was. The other party seemed not to reveal his identity and kept it completely confidential.
This made Safire a little confused. There were only a few executive officers. Who could deliver sand wood to the Iwam Shang Teahouse at this time? Mr. Piero must have stayed at the solstice and remained motionless. It was impossible for Dotore, who was still making preparations for his "blasphemous" experiment. The possibility of Columbia is even less likely. This guy is either sleeping or fishing every day, and he is never taken out of the house.
Arecino? No, Safir rejected this possibility again. She sent her a letter last time saying that she wanted to go to Fontaine. It probably has something to do with the mission. Pucciniella directly ruled out Sandone. Regarding this one, Safire was a little unsure. Kun Feng had not yet been given an explanation. The other party might come to Liyue. It was not impossible to get the logs. Her The mechanism technique will also be used.
The remaining possibilities are slim. Scaramucci should be on his way to Rice Wife, Rosalind has returned to Solstice to hand over the Heart of the Wind God, Pantalone has not moved away, and Capinotta In Nata, as for Dadalia, hehe, he should still be looking for Mona's master, Witch: B.
"What is Sandonne doing? It's so mysterious." Safir finally placed his suspicion on Sandonne. For no other reason, she was the most likely. But it didn't matter why. She got the log she wanted, and that was enough.
After the materials were prepared, under the guidance of Yae Shenzi, Sugar began a new round of alchemy experiments.
Liyue, Lingqu Guan.
"Lord Dark Shepherd, the logs have been delivered." A Thunder Hammer advance team knelt in front of Safire, bowed his head and returned to his life.
The girl nodded: "Well, you did a good job. This way there will be no problem." Yes, it was Safire who solved the log problem. While she was still worrying about the materials, the other "she" had already made preparations in advance.
After giving some rewards to the Thunder Hammer advance team, Safir turned and left. The wind blew her long hair, hiding what happened today.
"We are destined to be unable to meet each other, but soon you will realize my existence. However, when you realize this, I will leave. I wish you good luck, the former 'me'. "
