Chapter 64 - Complex Craft (2/2)
Even though his heart was prepared, Lin Ming was still flabbergasted when he heard the ridiculous pricing The spear shaft was just too expensive! It had to be known that a norold taels This spear shaft was not a treasure!
The waiter saw Lin Ming’s astonishment and explained, “This spear shaft was made from black iron wood It was carefully selected froh quality black iron wood that was soaked in spring water for 7 weeks, each week 7 days for 49 days to let it be reborn Afterwards, it was boiled in a giant ith explosive oil for three days All the bark was stripped leaving only the hardest and most durable wood core, and then mixed and twisted with the silk from a Golden Silkworm, then wrapped around with cloth fro oil
“Whether it is the black iron wood or the Golden Silkworm silk, both are precious e In addition to special crafting process technologies involved, this spear shaft will absolutely not be cut off in battle, even if ithero may feel relieved that you will not be disarmed in any hatsoever”
Hearing the sales clerk’s passionate explanation, Lin Ming also felt his heart juht that this common spear shaft would unexpectedly have such a co process Golden Silkworm silk was inferior, and cheaper than Sky Worm silk, but it was as an absolutely expensive material The black iron as also very expensive, and it was even from a tree that was several hundred years old
Moreover, if there was a singleprocess then it would have been ruined For instance, if there was a proble oil, then the black iron ould be ruined The spear shaft also had to be straight and rigid, like a perfect ruler If there was even the slightest diverging angle, it would be eliminated This caused the spear shaft’s value to increase many times
No wonder it was so expensive Even if a common person did not eat or drink, and worked hard for his entire life, he would still not be able to afford one If this kind of spear shaft was given to the norenerations as a precious family heirloom
The sales clerk said, “The ood, then 80 of the reason would be because of the shaft and 20 because of the head The spear head crafting process is coood spear head is also only around a few hundred gold taels This young hero, even if you chose a spear head ht iron, it would only be 800 taels of gold The total price will not be over 2000 gold taels What does the young hero think of this?
Lin Ming played with the thick shaft as he held it in his hands He felt a slight sense of so like love towards it and found it hard to put down Not to mention the shaft’s elasticity and durability, it absolutely felt like a first-rate product
What a pity it was too light!
“Do you have anything heavier? For instance, a spear shaft that’s several hundred jins”
“Oh?” The sales clerk was slightly surprised For a spear shaft that was several hundred jins in weight, to be able to wield it with dexterity like you were dancing, you would need at least th Did this youth have such a strong body?
But even with his doubts, the sales clerk pulled out another spear shaft that was made from pure darksteel This spear shaft was quite thick and was seven feet long and weighed more than 400 jins The sales clerk had obviously practicedit out but soed it in the end
“This spear shaft is 800 gold taels”
Darksteel was expensive, but to produce a pure darksteel spear shaft was a relatively simple production process, therefore the metal spear shafts were also cheap
“Young Hero, please be careful, it is very heavy” The sales clerk felt some trepidation as he handed the darksteel spear shaft to Lin Ming But he was shocked to see that Lin Ming gripped it like an ordinary wood club, and did so while looking very relaxed
The sales clerk’s eyes juth! He was simple a vicious beast in human form
Lin Ming held the spear shaft in his hands and thought over it, then he asked, “Do you have anything heavier?”
Heavier? He wants so heavier?
The sales clerk said, “We do have heavier options but the price is also very expensive”
“It’s all right” In order to avoid any future unnecessary troubles, Lin Ming flashed the gold banknotes in his chest pockets Right now he still had 8000 gold taels As long as it wasn’t as expensive as a treasure-rank spear, he would be able to afford it
The sales clerk saw that thick wad of golden banknotes and was surprised Such a thick stack of banknotes! This youngHero, please come with me”
With that, the sales clerk walked up to the second floor
