Lord Zhang Fei

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: A Tribe Of Ours

“The clan mother has good eyesight.” Lord Guchi nodded and said, “This item is indeed a silkworm garment. It can expand or contrast when worn on the body, light as if it was nothing, or hard as steel to prevent the body against water and fire. As it is, it can withstand the attacks of magic below level four, and it also has other defensive abilities. My father got this thing by chance more than ten years ago, and it has been treasured by my family until now. My father said that if my clan can get the method of making the hand cannons, this silkworm clothing is far from enough to thank you in advance. Still, my father will come to thank you with better gifts.”

Zhang Mu Tuo put the silkworm clothes back into the jade box, and said. “The hand cannon was developed by my son, Fei, so it is not convenient for me to call the shots on it. Fei, what do you think?”

Zhang Fei was studying how this jade box was changed from Guchi’s hands. Upon closer inspection, he saw a jade ring on Guchi’s left middle finger, with a peculiar shape on it. Wasn’t this ring also an item with storage space?

In the past few years, Zhang Fei had read many manuscripts, all of which were brought back from the city by his father. The content of the manuscripts were very complicated. He remembered that one of Zhang Feiji’s manuscripts was dedicated to introducing the space stone.

According to the manuscript, there were many precious gems buried on this Sacred Spirit Continent. One of the gems had a certain space in it, so it was also called the stone of space. And the space in this kind of treasure stone could only be opened by a spiritualist. The quality of the space inside the stone could vary with the quality of the gem, and the size of the space was also different.

Especially some high-quality space stones could not only store things, but also serve as living spaces for creatures to survive in them. It was just that this kind of high-quality space stone was too rare, and among humans, only the royal family could have it.

This kind of space stone was usually used inlaid on some artifacts. There were many types of space items, but most of them were rings, bracelets, belts, necklaces and other personal items. Zhang Fei’s father Zhang Mu Tuo had a space ring, and Zhang Fei had seen his father use it many times.

.....

But Zhang Fei couldn’t figure out why his father, who was not a spiritualist, could use the power of the space ring? It was a pity that Zhang Fei was too young. After asking several questions regarding this issue, his parents wouldn’t answer. Later, Zhang Fei forgot about it. Now thinking about it, he knew this ring on Guchi’s hand should also be a space ring.

Zhang Fei was still thinking when he heard his father’s question, and quickly replied, “This... master Guchi, it’s not that we are stingy, but this hand cannon is time consuming and very delicately made. You can’t just find a blacksmith to make it.”

Guchi felt a little bit bad after hearing this. Zhang Fei was not going to let it off easily. Quickly, he interjected. “Fei don’t need to worry too much. My Han tribe has passed on for more than ten thousand years. There are more than a few skilled craftsmen who are good at iron making. I think there’ll be no problems in making the hand cannons.”

Hearing that the Han tribe had been passed down for thousands of years? Zhang Fei couldn’t help being surprised secretly. It seemed that the foundation of the Han tribe was very deep.

One must know, there were more than ten million tribes on the Sacred Spirit Continent? For millions of years, they had been circulating between disappearance and re-emergence. All tribes that could survive for more than ten thousand years must have their strengths, and they could survive this realm easily enough.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Fei couldn’t help sighing. “Oh? Unexpectedly that the nobles have such a heritage. But I don’t know, among the noble blacksmiths, can there be spiritual masters?” Zhang Fei secretly said in his heart. This master Guchi didn’t look so respectful of his small tribe, and there appeared to be a hidden power display in the middle of this. He didn’t want to do something that would make people to look down on his Iron Wood tribe.

“Spiritist?” Han Guchi was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked. “Young master Fei, I don’t know what the relationship between the crafting of hand cannon and the spiritist is? Is it possible that this hand cannon can only be produced by a spiritualist?”

Zhang Fei couldn’t help but said solemnly. “Yes, master Guchi. My hand cannons are finely crafted by a spiritualist, and can only be created by someone who is at the fifth-level of cultivation, a spirit sage and above. Moreover, the spiritualist power must be gold. Otherwise, not only can it not hurt the enemy, but it may also hurt the user.”

Seeing Guchi’s surprised expression, Zhang Fei couldn’t help but feel refreshed. He was a little happy that he seemed to have sacred him to death. In the future, if his sister really wanted to marry him, he won’t be angry. Zhang Fei had to open the shelf first, so that Guchi could’t get a glimpse of the strength of their Ironwood tribe.

After a while, Zhang Fei continued. “At the beginning, when my clan was designing this hand cannon, it also carried out countless experiments, and many people of the clan were seriously injured because of deviations in production. Finally, it was in my clan’s warlord, lord Mammoth, who successfully developed the weapon under the control of his spiritual power. Therefore, although the method of making this hand cannon can be learned, only my tribe’s smith can create it.”

As soon as Zhang Fei said the words, he suddenly saw Guchi a little bewildered. He was trying to determine if what Zhang Fei said was true or false? How much was true? How false was it? Judging from Zhang Fei’s young age, was the root of the village really so deep?

The Mammoth of the Ironwood tribe. Guchi had long heard of it too. He had heard before that this Mammoth was nothing more than a blacksmith from the Ironwood tribe. Unexpectedly, the identity of the spiritualist was revealed later before he became the Valkyrie of the Ironwood Tribe.

Could it be that the blacksmiths of this Ironwood tribe have a high level of spiritual cultivation? If this was the case, then he must be careful when he was speaking for his tribe. This kind of strength was absolutely impossible for his own race.

Seeing Guchi’s complexion changing again and again, his eyes wandering, Zhang Fei burst into secret laughter. He remembered the adage to strike while the iron was still hot. It seemed that he had to put more wood into the fire, and give the lord something to think about.
