Chapter 1149: BlacksmithThe group of three plus two went to the blacksmith area.
Xiao Yan and Si Kang were already used to follow the whim of Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai. These two would often change their destination from time to time, which was already the norm for them.
"It's here." Nan Luo looked at the nameplate and nodded.
Nan Hua didn't immediately enter and instead looked inside from the door. At this moment, Long Qian Xing had just come out while carrying a scroll while there was a young man in his twenties following behind him.
The young man looked a bit sullen. And the way he looked Long Qian Xing was as if Long Qian Xing owed him a pot of gold.
"Young Commander Long," Nan Luo greeted first. He was surprised.
What did Long Qian Xing do here?
Long Qian Xing saw the three youths and arched his eyebrows. "Second Young Commander Feng, Young Commander Nan, and Adjutant Nan, it's a pleasant surprise for me to meet you here."
"It's indeed a pleasant surprise." Nan Luo coughed and then turned to look at Nan Hua discreetly. Seeing how calm Nan Hua was, Nan Luo felt that he was being too exaggerated and shouldn't act too obviously.
"Blacksmith Duan?" Nan Hua asked the young man.
The young man, Duan Shang Shao, was stunned when he heard that he was called. He looked at Nan Hua vigilantly. "Yes?"
"I need you to make something, but I would like you to keep it a secret." Nan Hua was direct.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt that this adjutant seemed to be really familiar yet he couldn't truly recognize it. There was even some kind of bold speculation within his mind but had been suppressed.
"I'll keep it a secret." Duan Shang Shao glanced at Long Qian Xing. "For the next 10 years, I'll be working for Fei Yang Kingdom's military. I will not divulge anything that could benefit your enemies."
Nan Hua nodded.
This was an agreement that Long Qian Xing and Duan Shang Shao made. The process was a bit 'bloody' between the two of them before they could reach this deal, but Nan Hua didn't really care that much.
Long Qian Xing has always been a person who knew how to use his card well. And this man was not a gentleman.
He can be shameless when it was necessary, but he still know proportion and will not offend people he couldn't afford to offend.
"Here is the blueprint."
Duan Shang Shao was a bit surprised then calmed down. He looked at the blueprint and realized that it was indeed very complete. Even though the process looked somewhat complicated, it was not above his skills.
In fact, the numbers that was written in regards for the parts were exceptionally complete that it should be easy for him.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" Long Qian Xing was a bit curious.
"I don't mind, Young Commander Long." Nan Hua glanced at Long Qian Xing and knew that this should interest him.
As expected, Long Qian Xing was drawn by the design and his eyes shone slightly. If these things could be made, it would be exceptionally useful. It was even more so when they would be facing Shi Long Kingdom in the future.
The Shangguan Family will definitely covet these things once they were produced.
However, some parts of the design looked a bit more complicated and required the blacksmith's delicate skills in order to produce it.
"I didn't expect you to have such elaborate ability, Young Commander Nan," Long Qian Xing commented.
Nan Luo rolled his eyes inside his mind.
Elaborate skill?
Please, the one who designed this thing is completely Nan Hua. He didn't even have the slightest clue as to why this thing had to be designed this way and only followed Nan Hua's words.
Anyway, she had succeeded back at the battlefield.
"This is Adjutant Nan's skill."
"Are you planning on using it at the battlefield?" Long Qian Xing asked.
"Second Young Master Feng will be the one to use it, Young Commander Long," Nan Hua added from the side and then looked at Feng Ao Kuai.
Feng Ao Kuai was stunned.
When Nan Hua first took out the design, he thought that this will also fall on Nan Luo. But upon thinking about it again, it would indeed more beneficial for him because he had no advantage like Nan Luo who could break through the enemy's line.
He had to use his soldiers' overall skill and some ingenous tactics.
Giving these catapults to him would mean that his strength would be boosted to a considerable point.
Feng Ao Kuai calmed down quickly and looked at Nan Hua. The gaze within her were very clear and for some reason, Feng Ao Kuai could guess that one of the reasons why Nan Hua chose this time to come here was because she knew Long Qian Xing will be here.
"Are you interested in the catapults, Young Commander Long?"
"It'll be a lie if I said that I'm not interested." Long Qian Xing smiled. "In fact, I'm sure that there will be more than me who are interested. The few people on the defense line on Shi Long Kingdom will be happier if they could finally let Shi Long Kingdom had a taste of their medicines."
"I thought that there are already a lot of people who copied them?" Nan Luo was confused.
"There are indeed some people who did it, but the design is not as good and usually break down quickly. Shi Long Kingdom is protecting these catapult design that they make tightly and always burned it down so that we will have no lead." Long Qian Xing's eyes narrowed.
These people were more careful than Zhang Xu Kingdom.
If Zhang Xu Kingdom didn't care if other people learned of their poisons because they had full confidences, Shi Long Kingdom protected their technology so that they will not be surpassed.
