[Chapter 79: Hammer of Judgment]
Snowy weather, wooden stove and hot pot, David felt that today was the most enjoyable day since he came to this world. This made David feel very good for the next few days.
After enjoying a hot pot, good news came from the village one after another: after discovering that crystal ore powder can strengthen weapons, Will made a new attempt to directly use large pieces of crystal ore to make weapons, and succeeded.
David looked at the hammer head in front of him that seemed to be made of three layers of crystals, and didn’t know how to evaluate it.
“The handle is made of light cast iron mixed with other metals. After it is made, this one-handed hammer seems to have some sacred breath… I’m not sure, whether it needs you to judge.” Will has only seen the holy light, but he has not experienced it himself.
Mark’s body is infused with holy light, but his talent in holy light is too miserable. Although he feels that this hammer contains a sacred breath, he is not sure whether his judgment is correct.
“It does have a distinct sacred aura.” David held the one-handed hammer with pink crystal ore as the hammer head in his hand, and noticed that there was also a small piece of pink crystal ore at the end of the handle: “Is all the pink crystal ore used to make this weapon?”
“There are still some fragments left from the edges and corners. The slightly larger pieces are given to Leonard and Sheldon for experiments. The rest are crushed into powder and used to make other weapons.”
Will pointed to a box next to him, which contained the remaining powder.
David glanced at it, retracted his gaze and continued to look at the one-handed hammer in his hand. This one-handed hammer is not big, and the handle is not long, which is only suitable for one-handed use: “However, this kind of crystal ore as a hammer head, can it really be used to hit people?”
“Believe me, the power is much greater than you expected.” Will is very confident in his work. Moreover, after successfully making this weapon, he simply tested it himself. This thing is much more powerful than the weapon mixed with crystal ore powder. It is the most powerful weapon he has made.
“Is that so…”
David swung the hammer a few times. He didn’t use the hammer to hit any target. When he saw the golden light flashing when the hammer was swung, he understood why it was so powerful.
This weapon made of crystal ore will release very strong energy when used. In other words, when using this weapon, it is not the hammer made of crystal ore itself that is used to attack, but the energy contained in the hammer is
used to attack the enemy. In addition, David discovered the change in the energy properties of the hammer: after the hammer handle was made of light cast iron and connected to the crystal ore, the energy properties in the crystal ore changed from the original pure energy to holy light, and it could respond to the holy light in David’s body, which also allowed David, who possessed the holy light, to burst out with greater power when using this weapon.
“This is not only a weapon, but also a spellcasting prop.” It is not clear what other functions this hammer has, even if it is only used to assist in the release and strengthening of holy light spells, its value is not low.
“I had this feeling before, but I was worried that my feeling was inaccurate. Now that you say so, I’m sure that using crystal ore to make weapons and equipment directly is the right idea.” Mark and Will next to him high-fived to celebrate this success. Will was originally worried that he would waste a large piece of crystal ore, but now that he has achieved results, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief: “It’s a special weapon after all, do you want to give it a name?”
Hearing Mark’s suggestion, Will shook his head: “Let David name it. This weapon is closely related to the Holy Light, and I don’t know what name is suitable.”
“Let me name it?” David looked at the shape of the hammer in his hand and found that it was very similar to the equipment he was very familiar with: “Let’s call it the Hammer of Judgment!” After
swinging it a few more times, David felt that this hammer was quite handy. Maybe it would replace the axe as his own weapon, but this thing should not be used as a flying axe to throw out, right?
It’s not that the hammer is not harmful when thrown out to hit people, but such a “precious” weapon, he can’t throw it out like throwing an ordinary axe without feeling bad – what if he can’t get it back after throwing it out?
Hanging the hammer on his waist, David realized that if he wanted to carry the Hammer of Judgment with him, he needed to make a special belt for his belt, or have a special space storage item.
“I always felt that I was missing something, and it turned out that I was missing a storage item…”
Unfortunately, this kind of space item is not something you can get just because you want it. Even in the world of Azeroth, after removing the “gameplay”, storage equipment is very rare.
Then David looked at the lance that Will made for Sharon. This is a weapon similar to a knight’s lance. According to Will, it was made according to Sharon’s description; at the same time, the shield that Sharon wanted was not the round shield commonly used by her “parents”, but a shield close to the shape of an inverted triangle.
In addition to these, David also saw the gun parts that he asked Will to make. Because it was made by hand, there were strict specifications for various parts, and the speed of making it was really not fast, and only a small part of it had been completed so far.
“The gun you want will probably take more time to complete.”
“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry.” David asked Laura to hire a special firearms designer to design the gun according to his requirements. After purchasing a batch of raw materials, he gave them together with the cast iron to Will, who then manufactured it.
This thing is a weapon that David wanted to make on a whim. No one knows whether it can be made in the end and what the effect will be. It’s fine
if there is nothing to do at other times, but now there are more important things to deal with, so the priority of this work has to be moved to the back.
“By the way, if everything goes well, you need to make a weapon similar to the Hammer of Judgment for Tirion next.” Fording will not only have to fight the Black Dragon Princess to the death, but also return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron to fight the Scourge. He is the one who needs new weapons and armor the most.
“There are not many crystal ore left.” Will frowned. This kind of weapon is not difficult to make. The main thing is the raw materials. It requires a large enough crystal ore to make it: “Could it be…”
“Yes, I took a look before I came here. Another crystal ore broke out of the ground.” Compared with watching the crystal ore break out of the ground and grow, the growth rate of the crystal ore this time is much slower. At the current speed, it will take a few days to get a large enough crystal ore to make a “heavy weapon” for Fording.
“As long as we have the materials, it can be done quickly… Does Tirion have any requirements for the type of weapons?” Will emphasized here: “I haven’t yet studied how to use crystal ore to forge swords.”
“Make a two-handed hammer.” Ten out of ten of these paladins of Azeroth are good at making two-handed hammers. When you don’t know what to use, just give them a two-handed hammer and there is no need to worry that they won’t know how to use it: “Is cast iron enough?”
“If you just make the handle of the two-handed hammer, and combine it with other metals, it will definitely be enough.”
David was blown by a gust of cold wind when he came out of Will’s blacksmith shop. Although his physique had become much stronger and David didn’t feel particularly cold, he still habitually tightened his heavy cloak.
Mark, who came out with him, took a look at David’s thick black fur cape and joked, “Why aren’t you wearing the red cape Laura gave you?”
“I kept that cape as a collection.” David would not tell Mark that the cape was almost broken by the two of them a few days ago and could no longer be worn: “This one was also given by Laura.” Mark
rolled his eyes. Most of the clothes worn by people in the village now were given by Laura. Laura basically contracted the supply of all kinds of materials in the entire Winter Village: “But this outfit is very suitable for this place. You only lack a set of gorgeous armor now.”
“This cape is customized according to the style of this world.” David looked at the villagers around him chatting happily, and the children were playing snowball fights and making snowmen. They didn’t seem to care about the cold environment, and he was a little relieved.
He was worried that this heavy snow would make many villagers feel uncomfortable and they might want to leave this cold place. Now it seems that he doesn’t have to worry about this happening for the time being. These villagers who have just arrived in Winter Village are very satisfied with their current living conditions.
“By the way, how is the situation over there? Hasn’t the Earth made a rescue plan?”
“Everything is going well over there.” Mark had contacted the Earth of his own world a long time ago. After a series of communications, the two sides confirmed that Mark had the ability to ensure its long-term survival. They did not rush to launch rockets to deliver supplies as in the original plot. As a result, the rocket exploded due to the rush to work and the lack of testing, which led to the rescue plot.
This time, the Earth had enough time to manufacture and test the rockets according to the prescribed procedures, so the rocket took off smoothly with the supplies and was about to reach Mars.
“So… you will get a new batch of supplies soon?”
“Yes.”
According to the current situation, Mark will live longer than in the original plot. After obtaining the supplies, the Earth will not “risk” and let the crew of the Hermes use the slingshot effect to accelerate back to Mars for rescue.
“In this case… can your Mars base still hold up?” I remember that the cabin where potatoes were planted was damaged and exploded in the original plot. It seems that this has not happened now?
“I carefully check the situation at the base every day. I only found one damage, which has been repaired in time… Other than that, I didn’t find any problems.”
Listening to Mark’s description, David suspected that Winter Town had been built and Mark had not returned to Earth yet.
At this time, Leonard ran over with Sheldon and Howard, shouting as they ran: “Success! We succeeded!”
