Chapter 59 ‘Mysterious Black Snake City’ and ‘Forging Longbows’ (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Inside the Jasmine Tavern in Snake Head City.
At the counter of the tavern, several young men and women in luxurious clothes were chatting in a low voice.
Among these people, the only two girls looked to the other side from time to time.
And on the other side of the counter of the tavern.
“Viri, you stole our limelight as soon as you came.”
A young man handed Chen Mu a glass of wine casually, and his tone seemed a little blaming.
Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled lightly and did not respond.
Took the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
At this time, it has been nearly ten days since Chen Mu arrived in Snake Head City.
It must be said that Snake Head City is a world apart from Black River City.
If Chen Mu had not stayed in Snake Head City for a few days, he would have found it hard to imagine that the two cities in the same territory could be so different.
If Black River City is an enlarged slum, then there is no doubt that Snake Head City is an enlarged rich area.
There is almost no garbage on the streets here, and people walking in the city are all dressed very neatly.
Chen Mu and the black-haired young man Brin in front of him actually met by accident.
It can also be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting. Chen Mu, who had just arrived in Snake Head City, almost "taught" Brin a lesson.
In short, the relationship between the two is not bad now, at least Chen Mu did not take this joke to heart.
"By the way, I found out the place where you asked me to find a good longbow.
I don't pay much attention to these things usually, but I asked for you these few days.
There are very few blacksmith shops in the city. If you want to say where you can make a good longbow, the old James blacksmith shop in the center of the city should be one of them."
Seeing the faint smile on Chen Mu's face, Brin shook his head helplessly.
He knocked on the counter with his hand, refilled a glass of wine, and then spoke.
"Thank you, I will go and have a look."
Hearing Brin's words, Chen Mu spoke softly to show that he understood.
This was just a casual remark he made before, but he didn't expect Brin to take it to heart.
The longbow obtained from the robbers was of poor quality. Chen Mu broke it after pulling it twice.
That's why he wanted to buy a good longbow again.
After all, a longbow is more convenient than a long sword to travel around the kingdom.
Hearing Chen Mu speak, Brin seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, and I also asked about the map you asked me to help you pay attention to, but it's not for sale at all."
"I have never paid attention to this before. From the time I was born to now, I have never been to Black Snake City."
Brin's tone was also a little surprised, as if he was a little surprised that he couldn't buy a map with his connections.
Hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes also showed a hint of confusion.
In fact, it's not just Brin. After Chen Mu came to Snake Head City, he also asked several stores whether they sold maps leading to Black Snake City.
But there is no doubt that none of them were for sale.
And the reason why Chen Mu wanted to buy this kind of map is also very simple.
That is, there is no road from Snake Head City to Black Snake City on the big map he has.
Even on the big map, only the three words "Black Snake City" were vaguely written in the territory of Black Water Territory.
As for where Black Snake City is, there is no mark on how to get to Black Snake City.
This is completely different from Snake Head City and Black Water City.
This Black Snake City seems to be extremely mysterious. Everyone knows that it is in Black Water Territory, but no one knows its specific location.
"Do you know anyone who has been to Black Snake City?"
Chen Mu took a sip of wine and asked.
Brin frowned and thought, and after a while he shook his head.
"Never, in fact, if you hadn't mentioned Black Snake City before, I would have even forgotten that there was this city in Black Water Territory. This city has a very low presence in Black Water Territory."
This made Chen Mu a little surprised.
According to him, Black Snake City should be a core city like Far East City.
He never thought that even the natives of Black Water Territory were very unfamiliar with this city.
"What about the Lord of Black Water, the Earl of Black Snake, have you never seen him?"
Chen Mu asked again.
This time, Brin spoke more decisively.
"Never! The one who controls Snakehead City is also from the Black Snake Family, but not the Black Water Lord."
"This..."
Chen Mu frowned slightly and turned the wine glass in his hand.
In fact, whether he wanted to buy the map of Black Snake City or ask about the route to Black Snake City, Chen Mu had a reason.
That is, he had a letter from Earl Arthur to deliver to the Black Snake Earl.
Otherwise, Chen Mu would not be interested in this so-called Black Snake City.
"You want to go to Black Snake City? In fact, I know someone who must know where Black Snake City is."
Seeing Chen Mu thinking, Brin spoke again.
Before Chen Mu continued to ask, Brin had already said this person.
"That is the Lord of Snakehead City, he must know the specific location of Black Snake City."
Hearing this, Chen Mu looked at Brin speechlessly.
I'm not stupid, of course I know that the Lord of Snakehead City knows the location of Black Snake City.
Brin seemed to realize that he had said something stupid, so he smiled awkwardly.
But Chen Mu did have this thought in his mind.
"Maybe I really need to ask the Lord of the Snake City?"
…………
Time passed, and a few days later.
At this time, Chen Mu, who came to the central area of Snake Head City, found a blacksmith shop according to the location provided by Brin.
Chen Mu looked up and saw the five big characters James Blacksmith Shop on the door plaque.
"It's here."
Chen Mu stepped into the blacksmith shop.
This exposed outside is just a facade, and the real blacksmith shop is a renovated small courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Chen Mu found that it was not small.
There was only a middle-aged man with a black beard busy in the courtyard.
The big hammer in his hand kept hitting, making a loud sound of steel colliding.
"Want to buy weapons? They are all there, you can choose by yourself."
Seeing Chen Mu, the middle-aged man with a black beard subconsciously stayed on Chen Mu's face for a second.
When he found that it was a young boy, he spoke casually.
"When did formal knights become so common."
Chen Mu said to himself.
This kind of strength of hitting steel is at least the realm of formal knights.
As for whether it is a great knight, Chen Mu can't tell with his naked eyes.
Chen Mu saw that the middle-aged man with black beard said something and ignored him, but was busy with his own things, so he walked around the yard by himself.
As for the weapons that the middle-aged man asked him to choose at will, they were piled up in a mess on the ground.
I thought they were scraps.
Chen Mu casually looked through the weapons thrown on the ground, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.
These weapons that were casually thrown aside and suspected to be discarded were actually rare fine products.
At this time, these fine weapons were casually discarded aside.
However, Chen Mu did not find the longbow in this pile of weapons.
So he approached the middle-aged man with black beard and asked: "Do you have a longbow?"
Hearing Chen Mu's words, James turned his head and looked at Chen Mu in surprise.
"You want to buy a bow? I don't have a finished bow here, I need to make it custom."
Chen Mu nodded: "Then make one custom."
James stood up, looked Chen Mu up and down, and then took out a ruler from behind.
"Stretch out your hand, I'll measure it."
James measured Chen Mu from head to toe, even his height, arm span, and leg length.
"It can be customized. Just tell me how much bow you want. It's expensive to customize a longbow here."
After asking everything clearly, James spoke again:
"The deposit is fifty gold, a total of three hundred gold, come back in three days to pick up the bow!"
