Chapter 51 Sewing Needle What
Chen Mu handed to He Ying was a slender weapon.
It's actually not that long, just about the length of an arm.
"This is... a sword?"
He Ying held the weapon in his hand. It was very light, as if it were nothing, but the texture was very good.
This was obviously a short sword with a scabbard attached.
He Ying held the hilt of the sword, which was only as thick as a thumb, with one hand and slowly pulled out the sword body.
The smooth stainless steel reflects the sunlight coming in from the window, making it eye-catching.
At first glance.
Kind of like a rapier in fencing.
But if you look closely, you can see that the sword body is still flat as a whole. It has edges on both sides and is extremely sharp. The middle is very thick, and the cross-section is more like a rhombus.
The blade of the sword is straight and as thin as a finger, and the front part of the sword is extremely sharp, making it easy to feel and penetrate stones.
"So beautiful."
He Ying couldn't help but admire.
This exquisite thin sword was tailor-made for her. It was light and sharp, and could kill people invisible. Once she became proficient in it, she would not be able to kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace behind for thousands of miles, as Sun Yuan boasted.
What's particularly rare is that the scabbard also took a lot of thought.
The entire scabbard is full of holes and looks more like it is made of iron mesh.
"How's it going?"
"Awesome, thank you."
"The main purpose of this sword is to stab. I specially made it into a diamond-shaped cross-section that is not easy to break, but the edges on both sides are also very sharp and can easily cut through people. However, try not to use it for chopping, otherwise it will easily bend and break." "
Yeah, thank you so much, I have always liked Arya's sewing needle." He Ying said with a smile.
"Sewing needle?" Chen Mu was confused.
"The weapon of Arya Stark, the youngest daughter of the Stark family, is such a delicate dagger."
Seeing that Chen Mu still looked confused, He Ying asked again: "A Song of Ice and Fire, Haven't you seen it?"
"Oh, haha, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it yet."
Chen Mu spent almost all his free time besides studying working part-time to make money. There was no time to watch TV series. He had heard that I have seen the name of Game of Thrones, but I have never watched it seriously, so naturally I don’t know the name of the sewing needle.
"What a pity. It was a good drama."
"Well, I'll watch it if I have a chance in the future."
When the two of them said this, they suddenly seemed to realize something, and they both stopped mentioning the topic.
He Ying turned her face and couldn't help but wave her rapier lightly.
Occasionally turn it in a circle with your fingers deftly.
Although she is not as keen on weapons as boys, and she can imagine herself as a hero with just a stick, He Ying, who has always loved sports, has also imagined that she will become a heroine who is admired by others, coming and going without a trace, her clothes flowing. With the wind.
Now that I have acquired this dagger, it seems that I am one step closer to my fantasy.
Chen Mu looked at her intoxicated look and felt a sense of accomplishment. He smiled and said: "Last night it suddenly occurred to me that since I am going out today, I must add some security. I think your combat style is dexterous. I thought this kind of lightweight weapon would be more suitable for you."
"Thank you, I saw the daggers of Dong Junwei and Tang Jing yesterday. To be honest, I am very envious, but I am embarrassed to ask you for it." He Ying smiled while As he spoke, he stroked the sword fondly.
Chen Mu made weapons for everyone a few days ago.
But let's be honest.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
As Tang Jing said, when they encounter an enemy, their first choice is of course grenades. Close-range weapons are actually not very useful for them, especially girls.
Therefore, he made long weapons such as spears for the boys. Since the girls had limited strength, he made a few broad-bladed daggers for the novices to chop.
Thought this would be enough.
Who would have thought that Tang Jing, who had just said that melee weapons were useless, turned around and came to Chen Mu to ask him to make his dagger more beautiful.
Chen Mu was stunned at that time.
This thing is for fighting, it’s pretty but useful.
But since it was Tang Jing's request, and it was such a small request, he naturally wouldn't refuse, not to mention that he had to practice his powers anyway.
Therefore, Chen Mu spent nearly half an hour to complete the repair of the dagger in accordance with Tang Jing's various inexplicable requests.
Wait and see after you finish.
That's a lot of bells and whistles.
There are no major changes to the structure of the sword itself, except that the handle is carved to be more ergonomic, but the sword body and scabbard suffer. There are dragons, tigers, and various patterns on them, all of which were designed by Tang Jing herself. .
The problem is, you can't see this kind of thing unless you get close. It's obviously just for your own entertainment.
After Tang Jing finished her busy work, Dong Junwei came again.
Chen Mu originally thought that Dong Junwei's cold temperament would not like such flashy things, but after listening to her request, he found that the squad leader was even worse than Tang Jing.
Not to mention the bamboo carver, he also asked Chen Mu if he could carve his name on the sword hilt.
Chen Mu was stunned at that time.
He has never used his ability to carve serious Chinese characters.
After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.
It turns out that this delicate and meticulous work is much more difficult than the changes of opening and closing.
Especially Dong Junwei's bad name, with too many strokes, it took a lot of hard work to convince the squad leader to give in and only carve the word "Junwei", but it took Chen Mu more than 20 minutes to carve it out. The characters are still crooked and have different shades.
Fortunately, Dong Junwei didn't mind and walked away with the sword contentedly. Chen Mu watched from a distance as she walked up to Tang Jing. The two held their own daggers and compared them, as if they were more beautiful than the other.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. With these two unreliable examples, others followed suit and asked Chen Mu to modify their weapons.
Chen Mu even regretted making weapons for them, but since he had already made them for Dong Junwei and Tang Jing, others couldn't treat him favorably.
In the end, even Wei Dalei came over and said that he wanted to carve his name on the mace. Chen Mu had already decided to change the weapon for him, so he didn't agree and kicked him away.
Before He Ying went to bed last night, she saw Dong Junwei's dagger in her room. She was indeed envious of it. She couldn't help but borrow it and played with it for a while. She thought that one day when she got familiar with it, she would let Chen Mu make one. , and as a result, he received his own weapon the next morning.
and.
obviously.
This weapon was tailor-made for her by Chen Mu.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "The squad leader's weapons are purely for decoration, but yours, combined with your ability, should be able to exert considerable power." "I think so too.
"
He Ying thanked him again and asked: "Why is this scabbard made of mesh?"
"The main reason is to make it lighter. In addition, it increases the friction between the sword and the palm, making it faster to draw the sword, and it does not accumulate accumulation. Water."
"A sword scabbard has so many details." He Ying sighed.
"I made it casually."
Chen Mu said with a smile: "You use it first. If there is anything that needs to be modified, you can tell me at any time. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. You have a more convenient weapon, which will be beneficial to the whole process." The team is also more helpful."
"Yes."
He Ying asked very obediently like a child who had just received a gift: "Then I will make a request now, okay?"
Chen Mu said generously: "No problem ."
He Ying asked cautiously: "Can you also engrave my name on the hilt of the sword?"
Chen Mu: "..."
