Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 79 Hammer of Judgment

  In a world of ice and snow, with a wooden stove and hot pot, David feels that today is the best day to eat since he came to this world. This put David in a good mood for the next few days.

After enjoying a hot pot meal, 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 crystal ore to build weapons, and obtained success.

  David looked at the hammer head in front of him, which seemed to be made of three layers of crystals, and didn't know how to evaluate this thing.

"The handle is made of light cast iron mixed with other metals. After the forging is completed, this one-handed hammer seems to have a sacred atmosphere...I'm not sure, whether it is up to you to judge." Will just saw Holy Light, I have never experienced it myself.

  Mark has infused holy light in his body, but his talent in holy light is too miserable. Although he feels that the hammer contains a holy breath, he is not sure whether his judgment is correct.

"It does have an obvious sacred aura." David held the one-handed hammer with pink crystal ore as the hammer head, and noticed that there was also a small piece of pink crystal ore at the end of the handle: "That pink crystal ore Are all the crystal mines used to make this weapon?"

   "There are still some fragments left in the corners, and the slightly larger pieces are handed over 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 it, which contained the remaining powder.

  David glanced at it, then 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. It is only suitable for one-handed use: "However, this kind of crystal ore is used as a hammer head, can it really be used to smash people?"

"Believe me, the power is much greater than you expected." Will is very confident in his own work, not to mention that after successfully building this weapon, he simply tested it himself. The power of the weapon is much stronger, and it is the most powerful weapon he has ever created.

   "Is that so..."

  David swung it hard a few times. He didn't hit any target with this hammer. When he saw the golden light flashing when the hammer was swung, he understood why this thing was so powerful.

This weapon made of crystal ore will release very strong energy when used, that is to say, when using this weapon, it does not use the hammer itself made of crystal ore to attack, but relies on the energy contained in the hammer attack the enemy.

In addition, David discovered a change in the nature of energy in the hammer: after using light cast iron to make the hammer handle and connecting it with the crystal ore, the energy in the crystal ore changed from pure energy to holy light. And it can respond to the holy light in David's body, which also makes David, who has the holy light, burst out with stronger power when using this weapon.

   "This is not only a weapon, but also a spell-casting tool." I don't know what other functions this hammer has. Even if it only assists in releasing and strengthening the Holy Light spell, it is of great value.

"I also had this feeling before, but I was worried that my feeling was not accurate. Now you can say that to be sure. It is the right idea to directly use crystal ore to make weapons and equipment." Mark and Will next to him clapped hands to celebrate this time At first, Will was worried that he would waste a large piece of crystal ore, but now that the result has been achieved, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief: "It's a special weapon anyway, do you want to give it a name?"

  Hearing Mark's suggestion, Will shook his head: "Let David choose the name. This weapon is closely related to the Holy Light. I don't know what kind of name is appropriate."

   "Shall I come up with a name?" David glanced 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 swiping it a few more times, David felt that the hammer was quite handy, and it might replace the ax as his side weapon, but this thing should not be used as a throwing axe, right?

   It’s not that throwing a hammer doesn’t do much damage to people, but that such a ‘precious’ weapon, he can’t throw it like an ordinary ax without feeling distressed—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 lanyard on his belt, or have some special storage space for props.

   "I always feel that I am short of something. It turns out that I lack a storage item..."

  It's a pity that this kind of space props is not easy to get. Even in the world of Azeroth, after removing the "gameplay", storage equipment is very rare.

Then David looked at the spear that Will made for Sharon. It was a weapon similar to a knight's spear. According to Will, it was built according to Sharon's description; at the same time, the shield that Sharon wanted was not his own. Instead of the round shield commonly used by 'parents', it is closer to an inverted triangle-shaped shield.

  In addition to these, David also saw the gun parts that he asked Will to build. Because of the hand-made, various parts have strict specifications, the speed of building is really not fast, and only a small part has been completed so far.

   "The gun you want will take more time to complete."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." David asked Laura to hire a special gun designer to design it according to his requirements. After purchasing a batch of raw materials, he handed it to Will together with the light cast iron. , then manufactured by Will.

   This thing belongs to the weapon that David wanted to make out of a whim. No one knows whether it can be made in the end and how effective it is.

   It’s fine if you don’t have anything to do at ordinary times. Now when there are more important things to deal with, the priority of this work has to be moved back.

"By the way, if it goes well, you will need to forge a weapon similar to the Hammer of Judgment for Tirion." Fording will not only fight against the Black Dragon Princess, but also return to the Kingdom of Lordaeron to fight against the Scourge. , he is the one who needs new weapons and armor the most.

   "There are not many crystals left." Will frowned. This kind of weapon is not difficult to manufacture. The main thing is the raw materials, which need a large enough crystal ore to manufacture: "Could it be..."

   "That's right, I just came over and took a look, and another crystal ore broke through the ground." Compared with watching the crystal ore break through the ground and grow up, the growth rate of the crystal ore this time is much slower. Judging from the current speed, it will take a few days to get a large enough crystal ore to create a 'heavy weapon' for Fording.

   "As long as there are materials, it will be completed soon... Does Tirion have any requirements for the type of weapons?" Will specifically emphasized when he said this: "I haven't studied how to use crystal ore to make swords yet."

"Create a two-handed hammer." Ten out of ten of these paladins of Azeroth are good at two-handed hammers. If you don't know what to use, give them a two-handed hammer. Don't worry that they won't know how to use it. : "Is light cast iron enough?"

   "If you just make the handle of a two-handed hammer, it will definitely be enough if you match it with other metals."

  When he came out of Will's blacksmith shop, he was blown by a gust of cold wind. Although his physique became much stronger, David didn't feel particularly cold, but he still habitually tightened his heavy cloak.

  Mark, who came out with him, glanced at the all-black thick fur cape on David, and joked by the way: "Why didn't you wear the red cape that Laura gave you?"

   "That cloak is kept as a collection." David will not tell Mark that the cloak was almost destroyed by the two of them a few days ago, and it can no longer be worn: "This one is also a gift from Laura."

Mark rolled his eyes. Now everyone in the village is basically wearing clothes given by Laura. Laura has basically contracted the supply of various materials for the entire Winter Village: "But this suit is very suitable for this place. You only need one piece now." A gorgeous set of armor."

"This cloak is custom-made according to the style of this world." David looked at the surrounding villagers chatting happily, while the children were having snowball fights and making snowmen. They didn't seem to care about the cold environment and put it down a little. dessert.

He was worried that this heavy snow would make many villagers feel uncomfortable. 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 just came to Lindong Village, Satisfied with current living conditions.

   "By the way, what's the situation on your side? Isn't there a rescue plan on Earth?"

"Everything is going well with me." Mark had contacted the Earth of his own world a long time ago. The plot was such a rush to launch the rocket to deliver the supplies, but the rocket exploded due to rush work and lack of testing, which led to the rescue plot.

  This time the earth has enough time to manufacture and test according to the prescribed process, so the rocket lifted off smoothly with materials and is about to reach Mars.

   "So... you'll get a new batch of supplies right away?"

"Yes."

If the current situation continues, Mark will live longer than in the original plot, and the earth will not "take risks" after obtaining the supplies, and let the crew of the Hermes use the slingshot effect to accelerate back to Mars for rescue up.

   "In that case... can your Mars base still hold up?" I remember that in the original plot, the potato planting cabin was damaged and exploded, but it seems that this has not happened now?

   "I carefully check the situation at the base every day, and 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 the town of Cold Winter was built and Mark hadn't returned to Earth yet.

   At this moment, Leonard ran over with Sheldon and Howard, shouting while running: "Success! We succeeded!"
