Chapter 455 Finely Forged Long Sword, the Great Wall of Despair 【Subscription】

He first asked Mariel to refuel the large stove.

It is still a layered addition mode of wood plus [pine oil block].

This can prolong the burning time and heat release as much as possible.

Then Zong Shen selected four [first-order straw sheds] to continue to cover the empty spaces.

And vacated the grass sheds in two directions of the pasture, and placed a set of medium-sized heaters respectively.

Put the exhaust pipe and elbow out of the shed.

Together with Mariel, he began to build the newly built hut.

With the effects of [Engineering] and [Craftsman's Will], it only takes more than ten minutes to build a grass hut. Two people work together, and each person is responsible for two rooms, which can be completed in less than half an hour.

After building these straw sheds, they built two new sets of medium-sized stoves.

There are three sets of heaters to provide heat for the pasture. More grass sheds mean more shelter. Zong Shen hopes to increase the survival rate of cattle and sheep.

These cattle and sheep belong to livestock, not crops, so the [Tower of Farming and Wild] is also useless.

After doing this, the rest should be left to fate.

Just the [Pine Oil Blocks] burned by these stoves and the cost of building grass huts and city walls can buy several cattle and sheep.

After the construction was completed, Zong Shen let out a slight sigh of relief. The boring hammering of the construction hammer was really a test of patience. After the supplementary layout of the ranch area was completed, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.

Zong Shen went to the [Blacksmith's Shop] and the [Tailor's Shop] again.

377 pieces of [sewn sheepskin jackets] were brought back from the [tailor's shop], and so far, there are more than a thousand copies of the remaining sheepskin jackets.

He told Alana to stop making sheepskins, and the Winter Challenge was over in less than 25 hours.

I am afraid that the sheepskin jacket made next will be difficult to sell.

It is unknown how much the batch originally listed for sale will eventually be sold.

Zong Shen can only pin his hopes on the purchasing power of retail investors, which is why he wants to lower the price. His previous listing price is not too expensive compared to the same type of [market], so he lowered it by 20%. price, which can improve part of the competitiveness and attractiveness.

The [tailor's shop] level in the territory is not high, and the limited facilities limit the production process. Zong Shen did not let her make other equipment and clothing, but only explained that she had taught several current tailor apprentices.

As for the dwarf uncle, there are new gains. Since the upgrade to the third-level [Blacksmith], the dwarf uncle has tried to forge excellent weapons.

However, most of the materials that the territory can provide are basic materials. It takes at least 4 to 6 hours to forge an excellent weapon, and there is a certain probability of failure depending on the material.

This is also because the dwarf uncle has advanced blacksmith professional skills. Under normal circumstances, if you want to forge an excellent-level weapon, you need at least some high-quality materials.

After all, weapons of this level are already the standard equipment of Tier 3 to Tier 4 warriors.

In order to save the limited medium and high-level materials in the territory, the dwarf uncle only added a small amount of blue materials for each forging.

In this way, blue excellent-level items can be forged, which shows the technical skills of the dwarf uncle.

However, the attributes of weapons and equipment are very different even if they are of the same rank.

There are differences in forging techniques, as well as differences in materials used and inscribed runes.

Zong Shen was holding a long sword forged by a dwarf uncle.

【Forged Long Sword (Blue)】

【one-hand】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Slashing damage: 35]

[Puncture damage: 28]

[Attack range: 80]

[Attack Speed: +8%]

[Durability: 350]

[Power required: 18]

[Passive Skill: Sharp lv3 (with an additional 8 armor penetration effect)]

(Bronze beard · wine fire forged fine wrought iron sword, with good damage ability)

This long sword is the first excellent weapon produced by the territory [Blacksmith].

All aspects of the attributes are decent, but the accompanying skills are relatively simple.

Compared with the first blue long sword [Avalon Guards Sword] that Zong Shen got at the beginning.

It does a little less damage and has 50 more durability.

According to the standard of an excellent weapon, its comprehensive attributes can only be regarded as low-medium.

However, its production cost is very low. In order to ensure its sturdiness, the dwarf uncle has incorporated a small amount of adamantine and blue-quality carapace obtained from the spider web monster prophet.

The main material used is the common iron ingot, which has been repeatedly smelted in the blast furnace and the high surrounding furnace, and has been forged, quenched, and inscribed with some elementary runes. , forged this long sword.

In terms of material cost and time cost alone, Uncle Dwarf's forging skills are invaluable.

The forging time required is actually not too long.

Those kingdoms all have large forging workshops, and even a few super blacksmiths sit in them.

There are also a large number of senior blacksmiths, intermediate blacksmiths, junior blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices, so that large-scale smelting and forging of weapons and equipment can be achieved, and suitable standard equipment can be mass-produced.

In addition, the cost of materials is also huge. Regardless of how rich the aboriginal nobles and kingdoms seem, but to support such a huge army, the expenses and costs are not a small amount.

A well-developed state city like Bosang often has seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands of state city troops, most of which are second-order, and a small number are third- and fourth-order.

The annual military expenditure, logistical maintenance, equipment loss and replacement is not a small sum.

Not to mention a giant city, a large giant city even has a population of tens of millions, which is almost comparable to a small country in the earth, not counting the state army and non-national knights under its jurisdiction. There is a standing army of four or five thousand.

This is why Zong Shen firmly believes that behind the prosperity there must be chaos and crisis brewing.

Because this world is very deformed in terms of region, population, city size, and wealth level.

In addition to those objective crises, the internal crisis is also full of crises.

The low productivity of the substructure corresponds to the extravagance of the nobles and the huge number of armies.

The degree of separation in this is like a bottomless abyss. If it was not suppressed inexplicably, a huge chaos would have erupted long ago.

Insurgents and rebels everywhere will spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and nobles will become kings by themselves, plundering wealth in the form of barbaric warfare.

The human race in the entire continent is about to be reshuffled. This is the second act that Chen Rui said, and it is also the situation that Zong Shen has been secretly guarding.

The next opportunity for the lords to rise rapidly is hidden in the chaos of the aborigines.

Zong Shen grabbed the fine-forged long sword and admired the silver-gray blade.

The blades on both sides are sharpened and polished, making the blade very shiny.

This long sword is of great significance. It is the first excellent weapon forged by the territory.

It is also a beginning, proving that the future can be expected.

As an important part of the talent collection plan, the dwarves of the Bronzebeard Department and the Black Iron Department are also one of Zongshen's recruiting targets.

Taking advantage of Zong Shen's rare opportunity to visit, the dwarf uncle stopped what he was doing and began to tell Zong Shen something about the dwarf habitat and the northern part of the continent.

Dwarves are active in the northern part of the Nord kingdom, which borders the North Highlands.

There are countless lofty mountains, valleys, and mountain streams. Not far away, there is a towering super Hengduan Mountains spanning nearly 10,000 kilometers, called the Santaya Mountains.

There are many deadly mountains above 10,000 meters above sea level in this mountain range, and there are some through-hole caves and rough mountain roads.

Because of the altitude, the climate in the mountains is very extreme. Different locations at different altitudes often have different climates, or mountain gusts, or mountain blizzards, and there is also the danger of lack of oxygen.

Even in such a harsh environment, there are still aboriginal peoples.

Inhabited by some alpine barbarians with a low degree of civilization.

This Super Hengduan Mountain Range is a moat in the north, which blocks the cold wind from the north at the other end. In addition, there are many ancient ice-covered relics in this mountain range.

There are even rumors that in the big ice valley near the north, someone once saw the frozen white dragon and the tusk mammoth. When the expedition went, all these disappeared.

Therefore, it is a very mysterious place, and it is also called the wall of the gods.

Such exaggerated terrain undulations not only hindered the ground, but also hindered the air.

From time to time, violent air currents will be generated in the sky. These air currents will gather the cold northern air together to form an astral wind with amazing wind speed. Some flying monsters or airships may fall when encountering this air current.

It's not accessible for most of the year, only certain months

Those persevering travel merchants, relying on experienced Gaoshan guides, conduct business between the north and the south during certain months of each year.

Of course, going from the northern ice field to the south is not the only direction of the Santaya Mountains. There are many places to travel from east to west.

The northern part of the entire continent is a high-altitude ice plain area. There is only one human kingdom here, and it is also the largest kingdom in the world, called Vigia.

This kingdom occupies most of the northern ice field. The land here is relatively barren and the environment is very harsh. Because of the climate, the food they grow can only be grown once a year.

The main crop is a cereal crop belonging to the barley species called highland barley.

There are also potato crops that have been improved by natural magic.

Because there is not much arable land in the entire ice sheet, it can even be called poor.

Local giant cities and state cities have created agricultural areas with natural magic.

As for animal husbandry, plateau yak, mountain horned sheep, ice sheet elephant, giant ostrich, and Gwill deer are all tame plateau animals.

The Kingdom of Vaegir occupies the southern part of the northern ice sheet.

Another third of the site is undeveloped permafrost and boreal woodland.

Here, the Kingdom of Virginia built a desperate Great Wall that dominates the entire northern region.

The Great Wall is two or three hundred meters high, with a thickness of seventy to eighty meters.

It was built tens of thousands of years ago, before the founding of the Kingdom of Vaegir.

A large number of peasant laborers were used, as well as earth-type mages and various magical equipment.

In fact, the Great Wall of Despair was built by gathering the power of almost all kingdoms.

Among them, field fortresses and war fortresses were also built at certain distances.

Even the Titans and the Hundred-handed Giants will look at the wall and sigh when they come here.

It is also known as the Black Ribbon of the North.

There are many towns where adventurers gather near the Great Wall.

This is the most exaggerated line of defense built by the entire continent's human race in the new era.

This line of defense isolates the permafrost and the frost-filled northern woodlands.

It also isolates the glacial ocean to the north of the continent.

The reason why the Great Wall of Despair was built is because some terrible monsters live in the northern part of the continent.

These monsters are called White Walkers!

The White Walkers were tall, withered, pale, with eyes as blue and deep as ice.

Their skin can change color as they move, and they hold long swords made of extremely frozen ice crystals, which can instantly freeze creatures they touch, turning them into ice sculptures and then smashing them into ice slag. Almost no one can resist the attack of the White Walkers. survived.

In addition, the White Walkers can turn dead corpses into ghouls, which also have blue eyes and cannon fodder power at their disposal.

When tens of thousands of years ago, after the end of the era of war, the old era ended and the new era began.

While people were cultivating and multiplying in the north, the first White Walker woke up from the frozen crypt of the permafrost and started a terrifying killing.

At that time, most of the human kingdoms had not yet been established, and the continent was in the era of division.

At the worst time, almost half of the entire northern border was occupied. Finally, all the ethnic forces marched to the northern border at the same time. Hundreds of thousands of mages were assembled to form a super corps. Finally the revived White Walkers and ghouls were driven back to the tundra.

And it took hundreds of years and countless human and material resources to build the Great Wall of Despair.

No one dared to march into the permafrost, for fear of waking up more White Walkers.

These guys are not only terrifyingly powerful, but no less than those epic top creatures.

The most terrifying thing is that these guys have no subjective motivation and are unwilling to communicate.

Killing is the only thing they love when they wake up.

It seems that there is no wisdom, but it has basic tactical literacy.

Those brutal dragons and even undead monsters, as long as they are wise, at least have the possibility of negotiation and communication.

And the White Walkers are really born to kill, refusing to communicate, refusing to communicate.

Either they kill someone else, or they get killed by someone else.

It's a completely immortal situation

The indigenous forces of the whole continent are very afraid of this.

Fortunately, the White Walkers haven't woken up for thousands of years.

But they are still preserved in the folk songs, legends and stories of the continent.
