God Soldier Atlas Chapter 9

"Or not?"

　　 Xiao Zongshui's face was so gloomy that water was dripping. Not far in front of him, a middle-aged man knelt on the ground in panic.

　　 "Master, we did our best!"

　　 Xiao Zongshui waved his hand, motioning him to go out.

　　 The middle-aged man kowtowed his head and ran out in a panic, looking like he had survived the disaster.

　　 Xiao Zongshui didn't care about the middle-aged man's reaction. He frowned and stared at the piece of paper in front of him.

　　 That piece of paper was surprisingly the secret recipe for the tiger's knife that Zhou Shu gave him.

　　 After getting the secret recipe, Xiao Zongshui did not disclose the secret recipe in the 97th workshop as Zhou Shu wanted.

　　 Instead, I found some skilled soldier casting apprentices.

　　Three thousand tiger swords are not too much work for a workshop. After all, there are hundreds of casting divisions in a workshop, and there are tens of thousands of standard long swords cast every month.

　　 In Xiao Zongshui's view, even if the tiger's knife is a little troublesome for casting, it can complete the task within three months with a dozen or twenty soldiers casting apprentices.

　　 As a result, he found multiple apprentices for casting soldiers, but he couldn't successfully cast the tiger sword.

　　 "Is there something wrong with this casting recipe?"

　　 Xiao Zongshui said to himself, "Zhou Shu has the courage?"

　　 He paced back and forth. After a long while, Xiao Zongshui took the casting secret recipe into his arms and pushed out the door.

　　 Soon after, Xiao Zongshui came to the door of a Chinese house and stuffed a coin of silver into the hand of the concierge with a smile on his face.

　　 "Please inform us, Xiao Zongshui, the owner of Workshop No. 97, please see Master Zhu."

　　 If an apprentice from Workshop No. 97 saw this scene, they would not believe that this man with a smile on his face would be Xiao Zongshui!

　　 Master Xiao, who covered the sky in the 97th workshop, also had such a time when he whispered for help?

　　 The doorman's nostrils were upturned, with a look of arrogance. He squinted at Xiao Zongshui, weighed the weight of the silver in his sleeve, and nodded slightly.

　　 "Wait."

　　 turned around and stepped through the door.

After a full quarter of an hour, the other party returned again, with his hands behind him, looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said, "Go in, the master is waiting for you in the study. Remember, you only have time for a stick of incense. ."

　　 "Thank you!"

　　 Xiao Zongshui arched his hands and said, stepping across the threshold and walking quickly towards the study room. The time for an incense stick, but not much.

　　 After a while, Xiao Zongshui had already arrived at the study following the instructions of the concierge.

　　 In the study room, a man who looks like a forty or fifty-year-old was flipping through a book. He heard Xiao Zongshui coming in. The man said without looking up, "Master Xiao is coming here, what can I advise?"

　　 "Don't dare!"

　　 Xiao Zongshui's posture was very low, and he quickly said, "I'm here to disturb Master Zhu. I want Master to help him look at the secret recipe of Zhang's casting."

　　 "I beg you to ask the master for help. Is there any problem with this casting recipe?"

　　 Then Master Zhu raised his head and looked at Xiao Zongshui, frowning insignificantly.

　　 "That's it?"

　　 "Xiao knows that the master is busy, but the matter is urgent, Xiao really has no time to find another caster." Xiao Zongshui smiled bitterly, "Master, don't worry, I understand the rules."

　　While speaking, Xiao Zongshui handed over a large silver ticket with both hands.

　　 Ask an expert to do something, this is an "expert fee".

　　Master Zhu glanced at the bank note that Xiao Zongshui had put on the table, and did not reach for it, but his expression softened slightly.

　　 "Where is the secret recipe? Bring it."

　　 Xiao Zongshui hurriedly took out the secret recipe for the tiger's knife and handed it over.

　　 Master Zhu just glanced at it, and then said a little unpleasantly.

　　 "Lord Xiao, although you and I have some friendship, but you brought a secret recipe for casting of inferior weapons, are you going to slap the old man in the face?"

　　 "Master misunderstood."

　　 Xiao Zongshui quickly explained.

　　Master Zhu is not an ordinary soldier, he is one of the few master craftsmen in Daxia, and his position is extremely respected.

　　Don't say the secret recipe for the casting of the graded weapons, even if it is a general graded weapons, Master Zhu is afraid that it will not look good.

　　 Master, put on the earth, he is probably an academician-level figure.

　　 "General Cheng Wanqili was ordered to form the Janitor Army, designated as Huben. This is a tiger knife specially developed for the Huben Army."

　　 Xiao Zongshui explained, "Master, you also know that the formation of the Imperial Guard by General Cheng Wanli is a matter of great concern to the sage, and there is no room for mistakes."

　　 "So, this tiger knife, we would like to invite Master Zhu to give you the palm of his hand."

　　 After listening to Xiao Zongshui's explanation, Master Zhu looked a little slow, nodded and said, “Even so, just look for a caster for these standard weapons.”

　　 Despite saying that, Master Zhu still picked up the secret casting recipe and looked at it carefully.

　　 "This idea is rather interesting." Master Zhu nodded slightly, and said, "Sacrifice a part of the firmness to make the sharpness of the knife almost the ultimate standard weapon. There are talents under Mr. Xiao."

　　 "This casting recipe, no problem?"

　　 Xiao Zongshui asked.

　　 "The problem is not big." Master Zhu said, "According to the secret recipe, it is indeed possible to cast a sharp standard long knife, but it—"

　　 "But what?"

　　 Xiao Zongshui asked.

　　 "But there are not many apprentices who can cast a knife according to this casting secret recipe."

　　 Master Zhu said sharply, "The casting skills used here can only be easily used by the casting division, and it is a bit more difficult for the casting apprentice."

　　 "The knife is a good knife, but it is difficult to mass produce."

　　 "Master Zhu, do you mean that there is no problem with casting the secret recipe, but the casting is too difficult?"

　　 "It can be understood that way." Master Zhu nodded, "If you can ask a soldier to make a move, it will not be difficult to cast this tiger knife."

　　 Please cast a shot?

　　 Xiao Zongshui smiled bitterly, which casting division would be bored to cast standard weapons?

　　 They just cast a handful of weapons that they can buy, the value of which can be comparable to hundreds of standard weapons.

　　 Even if Xiao Zongshui has that face, it's not worth it. How much silver is a tiger knife?

　　 How much silver do you get for a shot?

　　 It's not a good deal!

　　 "But Master Zhu, I do have soldiers casting apprentices who can cast tiger swords—"

　　 Xiao Zongshui does not give up.

　　 "I said, the casting of this tiger knife is very difficult for the soldier casting apprentice, but I didn't say that the soldier casting apprentice can't do it."

　　Master Zhu said, "A better-skilled apprentice can be cast after three or five years of training."

　　 "Okay, there is no other problem, so let's do it, the old man will have important things in the future."

　　Master Zhu waved to see off the guests.

　　 Xiao Zongshui left Master Zhu's mansion in despair.

　　 He wanted to supply Cheng Wanli with weapons so much, not just to make the difference.

　　As the chief of the workshop of the Division of Soldiers, although Xiao Zongshui's official position is not big, he has plenty of oil and water in his hands. Even those whose official positions are much larger than him may not be rich.

　　He indulged in Cheng Wanli because Cheng Wanli is a popular man in front of the sage. The most important thing is that he is responsible for the formation of the tiger army, which is responsible for protecting the sage.

　　 They will appear in front of the Lord in the future.

　　 If their weapons are in the eyes of the sage, then the benefits to Xiao Zongshui are self-evident.

　　 But now, if you can't forge three thousand tiger swords in three months, Cheng Wanli will definitely be angry. If he changes to another workshop to supply weapons, he will be emptied by fetching water from the bamboo basket.

　　 "It makes no sense."

　　 Xiao Zongshui muttered to himself, "Zhou Shu is not outstanding in the 97th workshop, why can he cast it, but others can't make it?"

　　 "There is no problem with casting the secret recipe. Could it be that Zhou Shu has other skills?"

　　Master Zhu is a master craftsman, since he said that there is no problem in casting the secret recipe, then there is definitely no problem.

　　 Xiao Zongshui didn't have the slightest doubt on this point, but he now suspects that Zhou Shu might have mastered a special casting technique.

　　 Otherwise, how could an apprentice who used to be a mediocre soldier forging suddenly be able to forge a tiger sword?

　　 Even Master Zhu has said that it is a bit difficult for the soldier casting apprentice to cast the tiger sword!

　　 "Hmph, what's the difficulty? I can't count the difficulties that Xiao Zongshui has solved in my life. Since the secret recipe is okay, then I don't believe it. There are only three thousand tiger knives, I can't handle it!"

　　 Xiao Zongshui rushed back to Workshop No. 97.

　　 As soon as he returned to the workshop, he immediately summoned the top apprentices in forging craftsmanship in Workshop No. 97.

　　 Zhou Shu was also called.

　　 When Zhou Shu rushed to the square, there were already 30 or 40 people crowded there. Those people were in groups of three or five, all gathered together and whispering.

　　 Zhou Shu had no friends in the workshop, so he could only stand alone in the corner, listening to everyone's discussion quietly.

　　 Just when everyone was discussing what the principal was calling everyone for, Xiao Zongshui had already arrived in the field.

　　 He coughed slightly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com immediately calmed down.

　　 "I called you today because you are all the best-skilled apprentices in our No. 97 workshop."

　　 Xiao Zongshui scanned the audience and said, "Now there is a glorious task to entrust to you."

　　 "This task is very important to our No. 97 workshop, so no matter what, there can be no mistakes."

　　 "You are all good soldiers and strong generals under this boss, I hope you can complete this task for this boss."

　　 "Of course, I won't let you do anything in vain." Xiao Zongshui glanced around the audience like a falcon, "I put the words here, if I can complete the task this time, I will have many rewards!"

　　 "From now on, no matter who it is, as long as I can cast a weapon according to my secret recipe, I will reward you with a silver or two for every one cast!"

　　 There was an uproar on the field, one or two silver, most of the apprentices for casting soldiers, there is no monthly salary of one or two!

　　 There are only a few people, bowing their heads and not talking. They are the people who have been called by Xiao Zongshui to cast soldiers before.

　　 So they know very well that this money is not so profitable.

　　 Those apprentices who don't understand the situation are getting excited. Forging a weapon and rewarding one or two silvers, it's equivalent to one month's wages, two or three for one day...

　　 "Master, even if we are desperate, we will definitely complete the task!"

　　 an apprentice forging soldiers shouted.

"Very good." Xiao Zongshui nodded with satisfaction, "The principal has other things to be busy with, Zhou Shu, you will be responsible for this matter. All the apprentices present will be temporarily led by you. Within three months, the principal will be responsible. You have to see three thousand tiger swords, otherwise—hehe!"
