Chapter 78 Need more money! (Seek to follow up, ask for a monthly pass and push books)
"Golden Hammer Terra?"
The appraisers and blacksmiths looked at each other, obviously never heard of such a number one person.
As a craftsman, if he can grow to the present level, it is impossible for the Lord of the Golden Warhammer to be so unknown.
But they confirmed each other's eyes, and they were indeed people they had never heard of.
"Your Excellency Terra, do you want to auction this master-level knight longsword that took you countless painstaking efforts to forge?"
The president of Shining Auction asked respectfully.
The Lord Taila in front of you not only has superb forging techniques, but also his own strength should not be underestimated. The opponent is very likely to be a powerful person.
The chairman is extremely cautious. After all, how could it be possible to cultivate a craftsman without the support of a big force, which requires a lot of iron and money, plus a rare talent for forging.
Since the death of the Hammer of Fire, it has been a long time since there has been a craftsman-level figure, so this golden warhammer Terra, who was born out of nowhere, made them pay so much attention.
"That's right, I want to auction. In addition, I want to reach a cooperation with your auction. In the future, I will auction a batch of master-level weapons and equipment made by myself here every month."
Li Wei said that he plans to release some in batches, and the quantity will not be too much at a time.
After all, even if you are a craftsman, the output will not be too high, and if you release too much, you will easily be suspected.
Besides, rarity is the most precious thing. If you release too much at once, it is easy to depreciate the value of your craftsman.
"Okay, okay, okay! Your Excellency Taila, it is a great honor to cooperate with you. In order to express our sincerity in the auction, I will apply to the above. In the future, when Your Excellency Taila comes to the Shining Tavern, we will give free admission tickets, and the auction We will also give you a corresponding discount on the handling fee.”
"However, before signing the contract, we need to conduct the necessary assessment of Lord Taila. This assessment is only to confirm that the knight's long sword was forged by Lord Terra, and there is no malice or disrespect to Lord Terra. , I hope Your Excellency Taila doesn't mind."
Li Wei naturally agreed, his own forging is a little liver, and he is not afraid of testing.
He was taken by the auctioneer to a blacksmith shop privately owned by Shining Tavern.
Then deliberately slowed down his forging rhythm and efficiency, and imitated a normal craftsman to forge a knight's long sword exactly the same as before. This sword, Li Wei named it: Autumn Color.
Together with Huguang, they were handed over to the auction for processing.
Finally, Li Wei's forging skills deeply impressed these dubious workers, they couldn't help applauding, and signed a contract with Li Wei on the spot.
In this way, Li Wei has found a stable sales channel for his future forgings. If he can make his own name, with the stable channel of Shining Tavern all over the mainland, then the Wild Boar Rider will be dispensable , Li Wei can consider finding the Hog Rider Qiu Hou to settle the score. Old Toby must have gained experience with the Hog Rider, and it is time for him to go home.
In the evening, the Shining Auction was held as scheduled.
There is no breathing method or precious materials that Li Wei wants in this auction.
The purpose of his staying here is to see with his own eyes whether the long sword he forged is selling well.
After warming up for a while, the auctioneer brought Li Wei's knight sword to the stage. The beautiful auctioneer raised her voice and said, "Now, let me introduce to you the exclusive craftsman of this auction. The knight's long sword forged by Master Taila, the golden warhammer: lake light and autumn colors!"
"These two knight long swords are forged from fine iron, and they were forged by Your Excellency Taila after 21 days of painstaking efforts. In terms of quality, they are comparable to the legendary craftsman Flame Hammer!"
Just finished speaking, the people below were in an uproar.
"What? Craftsman? Are there still craftsmen in this era?"
"Who is the Golden Warhammer? As an official blacksmith, I have never heard of this person in the industry! He must be a liar!" A bearded blacksmith buzzed.
Seeing that many people don't believe it at all.
The beautiful auctioneer took out a long sword forged by a flame hammer, and randomly selected many knight-level powerhouses or formal blacksmiths from the guests at the scene. They had a better grasp of the quality of knight long swords. Precisely, the bearded blacksmith was also invited to the stage.
After some comparison, these people found that in terms of external quality, it seemed that there was not much difference between these two swords and the sword of Flaming Hammer.
This lifted the spirit of the bearded blacksmith. "It's impossible to judge the quality of a knight's sword just from its appearance. I think that since it's a long sword, it should be tested in actual combat."
Seeing that the bearded man refused to accept, the beautiful auctioneer was not angry, but said with a smile: "Since this gentleman is also a blacksmith, then take out the long sword you forged, and the Lake Light Sword forged by our Lord Golden Warhammer, and hand them over to each other separately." How about a real battle for the two knights present?"
Swipe, Swipe, Swipe.
Immediately, countless eyes focused on the bearded man.
He coughed and couldn't get off the tiger, so he could only bite the bullet and hum: "Try it, try it, whoever is afraid of it."
Then, the Huguang sword and the sword forged by the bearded man were handed over to two formal knights with almost the same strength, and the sword fight began on the stage.
Ping ping pong pong, crackling!
For a while, everyone watched a wonderful swordsmanship match at the auction site for free.
Finally, with a click, there seemed to be a crackling sound.
Everyone looked at it in response, the sword forged by the bearded man didn't know when, the blade had curled a bit, and there were even imperceptible cracks emerging.
"This...how is this possible?" The bearded man was in disbelief.
"Your lake is definitely not made of ordinary refined iron. I think it is made of Mithril! This is cheating!" He continued to argue.
As he wished, the auction was tested. After the final test, the result was 100% refined iron, without any mithril.
Li Wei sneered inwardly in the background: "If I have Mithril, would I still sell it? Do I use it myself?"
In the end, everyone had to admit that this knight's long sword was indeed unusual.
Behind the auctioneer's smile, the bearded man took his sword and left the venue disheveled.
It is obviously made of the same material as other blacksmiths, but this long sword has reached the pinnacle level. It is too exaggerated to cut iron like mud, but if it is a knight's long sword of average quality, in the confrontation with this knight's long sword forged by a golden warhammer During the collision, it won't take long for the ordinary knight's long sword to have some subtle damages such as curling blades and gaps. This is caused by the difference in the utilization and development of the same material between the craftsman-level blacksmith and the ordinary blacksmith. of.
Finally, with great enthusiasm, these two brand new knight long swords were auctioned for a total of 50 gold, including 30 gold for the lake light and 20 gold for the autumn color.
You know, a normal knight's long sword is only about one gold coin, and the price gap is worlds apart.
To be honest, even if the quality of this long sword is much higher than that of ordinary long swords, it is definitely not worth thirty gold. The main premium is the value added by the craftsman.
Being able to own a knight long sword forged by a craftsman is something that many nobles and knights talk about, as can be seen from everyone's enthusiasm for the Hammer of Fire.
But Hammer of Flame was born a long time ago, and the handed down works he left behind are scattered all over the kingdom, and they are not enough, so the price keeps getting higher and higher. Moreover, iron products will oxidize and rust, so the newer the sword, the higher the value.
Li Wei looked at all this with satisfaction, and got his share of the gold coins.
"Master Terra, there are many nobles and knights who want to contact you through us and ask you for customization." The staff of Shining Auction said.
"I don't have time, and I don't customize it alone." Levi said.
"What if he adds more money?" the staff asked.
"Then... that's fine, but the number of people should not be too many. You can figure it out. Anyway, my forgings are handed over to you for processing. I don't care whether they are auctioned or customized." Li Wei said.
After finishing speaking, Li Wei left the Shining Tavern in a hurry.
The news of the birth of a new craftsman quickly spread throughout Icewind City.
I believe that as time goes by, the name of the golden warhammer Terra will also spread throughout the Emerald Kingdom through word of mouth from bards and knights.
And Li Wei found a small hotel in Icewind City and stayed temporarily.
He took out the books on linguistics and customs of the Tuva Empire he had bought, and began to read them.
After finally flipping through it, Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.
His complexion turned black: "No?"
In the end, Li Wei tried many books again and again.
Basically confirmed that the dream of quickly mastering the Tuvan language by liver experience has been shattered.
But he still decided to go to the Tuva Empire himself, hoping to get enough ambergris at one time, allowing him to break through to the Grand Knight.
But, then you need a wizard.
