Chapter 1457 Clearing the Inventory
Zhou Xu, who was in seclusion again to adjust the enchantment mantra, put the focus of the enchantment effect on passive additional effects such as "sharp", "tough", "penetrating", and "sharp".
Under this premise, he had previously obtained a 'blood-drinking' enchantment effect from the blood-drinking broadsword.
Although the Bloodthirsty Blade is only an excellent-level equipment, the enchantment effect of "Bloodthirsty" is not bad.
According to Zhou Xu's previous idea, the energy consumption of weapons should be reduced. The energy contained in the weapons themselves can be used to maintain the enchantment effect for long-term combat.
The core idea of this concept is to make weapons a complete help to users rather than a burden.
With this as a premise, the 'Blood Drinking' enchantment effect can restore energy by absorbing the enemy's blood, thereby further improving the weapon's 'endurance' ability, which is undoubtedly a good combination.
The excellent equipment in the past, due to the limitations of its own materials, could not withstand the blessing of so many enchanting mantras.
Now that he has replaced the raw materials with excellent grades and has the enchantment framework of the Burning Blade, Zhou Xu is able to let go and get to work.
"nailed it!"
He had already studied the enchantment effect of the Scorching Blade a long time ago. Under this premise, he was only simplifying it, not optimizing it.
Although it was necessary to consider the connections between the various enchanting mantras and make multiple attempts and adjustments, overall it was much easier than when we were researching and analyzing the Burning Blade.
After the enchantment was completed here, Zhou Xu turned around and called Li Gan over.
"This is the latest enchantment inscription. I need you to recast the sword and then engrave it according to this enchantment inscription."
Li Gan remained very calm about this request.
This is just a sword. Although the sword I carefully forged is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the enchanted weapons mass-produced in the army, it is still just a sword after all.
Compared with the large-scale replacement of weapons by soldiers in the army at certain times, this workload is nothing.
While speaking, Zhou Xu did not forget to tell Li Gan about his ideas for the next weapon.
After listening, Li Gan thought about it for a while.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I think the design of the weapon should be adjusted..."
As he spoke, Li Gan told Zhou Xu his thoughts.
As the forging master of their Great Zhou, Zhou Xu has great confidence in Li Gan's abilities.
"Okay, let's follow your idea."
"Yes, I will take my leave!"
The strength of the excellent-grade raw materials is there, and forging them is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the previous excellent-grade materials, coupled with the subsequent engraving of enchanted inscriptions.
And this is also a new weapon. Li Gan still needs to redesign it. It will take two or three months, conservatively estimated, to forge this weapon.
Zhou Xu was not in a hurry at the moment. The continuous production of enchanting mantras had consumed a lot of his mana. In the next period of time, he would focus on handling daily government affairs while recovering his mana.
After a while, with the temperature gradually dropping, the season quietly entered autumn...
Earlier, the arms deal they reached with the Saint Laurent Empire was officially completed at the camp at the foot of Tonglu Fort in early autumn, just as Zhou Xu had expected.
The Saint Laurent Empire chose this place because it is relatively close, which can leave them plenty of time to travel.
Originally, the Great Zhou wanted to set the location in the plain fortress, which would be more convenient for them.
However, the people in Copperforge were not very happy about this.
Because if the Saint Laurent Empire wants to reach the Plains Fortress from here, they have to enter their Copperforge Fort territory and pass through it.
There was no choice but to change the transaction location to the foot of Copperforge.
The Saint Laurent Empire has been busy developing new territories in recent years and did not stay for long. After both sides had counted the weapons and equipment, they took their weapons and left.
On the Da Zhou side, they also took advantage of this wave of transactions to completely clear out their inventory and earned a large amount of resources including mithril, immutable stone and undead bones, which added fuel to the future development of their Da Zhou.
Under the premise that all major powers have embassies in the capital of Da Zhou, the transactions between Da Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire naturally cannot be concealed from other countries.
From the perspective of the United Nations, this transaction between the two parties can be regarded as an invisible statement, that is, in the short term, it is impossible for their Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire to overturn the table and start a war.
This made Copperforge and Smith Republic, who had been watching the situation, breathe a sigh of relief.
But Peter was a little anxious.
You know, the Luosha Republican Party headed by Peter has always been a loyal customer of the Great Zhou military equipment. As a result, after the transaction with the Saint Laurent Empire, the Great Zhou directly told them that the Saint Laurent Empire had a large demand and they were temporarily out of stock.
This suddenly cut off his access to weapons, which made Peter very anxious.
On the other hand, Fisher felt relieved after hearing the news.
After all, the fundamental purpose of his bidding with Peter was to prevent these military equipment from falling into the hands of the Russian Republicans, not that he really needed so much equipment so urgently.
From the perspective of assets, the impact of such forced bidding on him cannot be ignored.
At this moment, Da Zhou directly said that they were out of stock, which was actually a good thing for him.
However, in Fisher's opinion, the overall situation in the Smith Republic is still not optimistic.
After all, the Rakshasa Republican Party headed by Peter has purchased a large number of individual crossbows, city defense crossbows and three-bow crossbows from the Great Zhou.
This enabled the originally poorly equipped Russian Republican forces to be quickly armed in a short period of time.
At this stage, its combat capability is completely incomparable to that in the early days, especially when the opponent still occupies two cities of their Smith Republic.
When Fisher thought of this, his face turned ugly.
But these are obviously not what Zhou Xu needs to worry about. From the very beginning, he just wanted to clear the inventory.
From the beginning to the end, he never said that their Great Zhou's military equipment would only be sold to the Smith Republic.
If the other party can afford the price, then he will sell it. There is nothing much to say about this matter.
After receiving the latest report from the border fortress, Zhou Xu felt relaxed and in a good mood.
Originally, he had to clear out these obsolete stocks slowly, but who would have thought that Saint Laurent Empire would suddenly come along, no, it was a big customer! He cleared out all of them in one go!
Of course, this is just from Zhou Xu's perspective. In fact, if you look at this matter from the perspective of the Saint Laurent Empire, as their territory has expanded significantly, they do need this batch of military equipment to arm the subsequent garrison troops.
This wave of transactions is essentially mutually beneficial, there is nothing much to say.
In the blink of an eye, the season has come to the end of autumn...
"Your Majesty, Minister Li of the Forging Department just had someone send over the weapons."
Looking at the wooden box presented by the personal soldiers, Zhou Xu opened it and saw a knight's sword that had completely changed in appearance. It just appeared in his field of vision!
