Chapter 71
Enforcers
Jin Zhi took out the blueprints, spread them out on the table, and gestured for Ginnell to come and take a look.
"A heavy weapon with a long handle, its prototype is a mace, and the mace head is specially designed, looking like a combination of a flange and a spike, and it is quite heavy."
Ginnell looked at the blueprints that Jin Zhi had shown him.
It is indeed in the shape of a mace, but it is much more ferocious than a mace. The hammerhead is larger, and it looks as if heavy, sharp blades are inlaid on the outside of the hammerhead.
"Master Jinzhi, I have a question."
Genele pointed to the hammerhead and asked.
"Is this an inlay design, like an external structure with a blade encased in a hammerhead?"
Ginnell thought of the spinning tops he used to play with as a child. In addition to the standard spinning top, the merchant had also specially made a bunch of large accessories such as spinning top attack rings and defense rings.
To put it simply, it's a pay-to-win item that lets your spinning top dominate weaker opponents.
But Goldfinger shook his head and said...
"You're overthinking it. It's a one-piece forging; there's no inlay or welding."
"This is a heavy weapon, and it's the kind of heavy weapon that you frontline combat personnel are supposed to carry into battle against monsters."
"If it were a weapon carried by an ordinary adventurer, the forging skills might be a bit lacking, but this heavy hammer of yours was forged by me."
Jin patted his chest.
"I swear in the name of the Holy Light that you can have complete faith in my technology."
Sufficient weapon weight means that blunt force is powerful.
The outer peaks and flanges also ensure a certain degree of cutting capability.
To put it simply, imagine if Ginell were to fight with this weapon.
Weaker monsters would probably only be sliced into pieces on the spot by the spikes.
Only the most powerful monsters could withstand such powerful hammer blows and still have several deep, bone-revealing cuts on their bodies.
The design concept of this weapon is essentially similar to the Cloudstorm Mountain Shattering martial arts style.
Only if you withstand one of my hammer blows will you be qualified to see my change of tactics.
Only if you are not cut into pieces by my hammer will you be qualified to be finely minced by me.
Seeing that Gianna had figured out his design, Jin nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right. It has both blunt and cutting capabilities. Combined with the weapon's weight, it's enough for you to handle most situations unless you encounter an extremely powerful monster or a dragon."
Jin Zhi placed his palm on the drawing and said.
"I named this weapon 'The Enforcer'."
"May you, under the watchful gaze of the Holy Light, safeguard this precious peace."
Genele was taken aback and asked curiously.
"Master Jinzhi, if it's convenient, could you please tell me how old you are?"
Jin Zhi laughed heartily, picked up the beer next to him, and gulped it down.
"I'm actually over two hundred years old this year."
"Your guess is correct. I lived through the darkest and most turbulent period of Pangu."
"Although it was the end of the Dark Ages, I was just a child playing with a hammer and hitting volcanic rocks. The impact of darkness on a child is enormous."
Genele nodded thoughtfully.
This means that childhood traumas can leave a deep-seated impression.
For others, the starting point might be the four words "family of origin," but for Goldfinger, the source of his deepest memory is that dark era.
Ginnell looked intently at the gold finger.
"I swear in the name of the Holy Light that I will make good use of the weapon that you, Master Golden Finger, forged for me."
Jin poured himself a beer and slowly drank it, his eyes constantly scanning Ginnell.
After finishing his drink, Goldfinger wiped the beer foam off his beard and laughed.
"very good."
"Then without further ado, join the forging now!"
Genele paused for a moment, then pointed to himself.
"Master Golden Finger, what did you just say?"
"Joining the forging process means... I'll be forging weapons with you too?"
Jin nodded.
"right."
Genele was silent for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly.
"I really don't know how to do this!"
Jin Zhi laughed heartily.
"Just kidding, I'm a dwarf, how could I let a complete novice who knows nothing about forging participate in my forging process?"
"I will use the best materials and techniques, but that will take a little longer for the overall forging process."
"Come back in five days, then you'll be able to see your enforcers."
Jinzhi pulled a new weapon blueprint from under the table and handed it to Ginnell.
"I heard from Sister Eve that you seem to have your own close combat instructor, so I won't give you any advice on that."
"This blueprint doesn't contain any forging data, so it's not a trade secret. Take it back and show it to your melee instructor so he can do some preparatory work for you."
Goldfinger knew that Sister Eve had taught the Cloudstorm Mountain Shattering technique to Genelec.
Powerful, pure, and absolute violence can crush all fancy tricks.
However, for beginners, if they don't know how to generate force, that extreme violence will backfire on them, and the scene won't be pleasant.
Genele nodded his thanks.
"Okay, Master Goldfinger."
"I will come to collect this weapon in five days."
Jinzhi grinned.
"After things are settled in the Darkwood, I'll come to your tavern for a drink."
"If the beer you have satisfies me, I will bring my compatriots to your place for a good drink."
Genelec's eyes lit up.
"It's a deal!"
......
After leaving the forging area, at Sister Eve's invitation, Ginnell temporarily served as Father of Holy Light, healing those who came to the Church of Holy Light seeking healing.
Among them, besides some common fatigue-related illnesses, there are also ordinary people who have been tainted by the aura of demons.
In situations like these, conventional medical treatments are indeed difficult to use, but the Holy Light's ability to subdue monsters is remarkably effective.
After rubbing the Holy Light for a while, Ginnell realized that this seemed like doing volunteer work, so he went to ask Sister Eve if the Church of Holy Light had any large-scale income projects.
For example, selling indulgences.
The moment Sister Eve uttered the words "indulgence," her expression became quite strange.
I had a feeling of wanting to spin Ginell like a top, but also wondering where she had heard the words "indulgence" from.
"The Church of Holy Light does not sell evil things that would dim the Holy Light."
Sister Eve smiled.
"As for indulgences, many denominations in Pangu during the Dark Ages did sell them, but the Church of Holy Light never did."
"Even if some of my former brothers and sisters do such things, they will be rejected by the Holy Light after they do them."
"They are no longer our brothers and sisters."
