BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59 Visiting The Blacksmith
Jacob had indeed taken a hunting mission and left the town, but it was only because he wanted others to believe this and won\'t bother him.
Although C Rank wasn\'t much, they were still respected figures by humans, and he knew if he wanted to avoid those annoying figures; he had to leave this place in their eyes.
It was extremely easy to sneak back with his speed, and no one would bother him anymore.
He wasn\'t planning to show himself until he was done absorbing the two heart essences he had prepared. It won\'t be too late to go on hunting to collect more heart essence at that time.
Furthermore, Jacob had seen the wolf king hunting request in the C Rank Missions, and he could guess Jennifer had returned alive since only she managed to escape that day.
Only she could report this back, and he wasn\'t worried at all because only bones would be left of the wolf king right now.
He had already got the most of it and wasn\'t interested in that reward that would put him in the spotlight, just the C Rank fame was enough for him.
Time passed, and in a flash, it was the night of the third day since Jacob has become a C rank mercenary.
Right at this moment, the door of Isaac Smithery was pushed open and Jacob entered the familiar interior.
Isaac was hammering an iron plate with a sweated face when he heard the doorbell and saw Jacob.
Isaac smiled as he put the hammer down and said, "You\'re finally here. I almost thought you have forgotten our meeting."
Jacob was training and eating for these past two days in his house and only leave secretly at this hour since it would reveal his whereabouts to others. He had already noticed some people loitering around his house in these two days, so he was even more vigilant to show himself.
"Heh, some flies delay me. Are my things ready?" Jacob chuckled.
Isaac didn\'t take Jacob\'s word seriously and headed toward the backdoor and shortly after returned with a big box in his hand.
He put the box in front of Jacob and said, "You can check them."
Jacob didn\'t stand on ceremony and opened the box. He saw the shining steel parts of the distillation equipment. After examining them, he found nothing out of the place and nodded in satisfaction.
He handed the reaming five silver coins to Isaac and said, "Good work."
Isaac smile contently and received the silver before he asked, "Do you want to forge anything else?"
He clearly remembered Jacob had said he would give more orders if he liked his work, and he looked forward to Jacob\'s designs. They were unique and exquisite.
Jacob looked meaningfully at Isaac, \'Although he could forge this with ordinary steel, for the parts of a gun it won\'t be enough, and I don\'t know if this town had ordnance steel or something like it.
\'That colt rifle was made from something like carbon steel, which causes its fragility. I still knew nothing about the natural minerals of this world, nor did they have any books.\'
Jacob asked Isaac, "If you want to forge for me, I have to know; what is the strongest metal you have and what is its melting point?"
Isaac was surprised by Jacob\'s question and answered, "I have around ten KG of Graphite Steel. As for its melting point, it\'s around 4,000 to 4,500 Degree Celsius. But it\'s quite expensive if you want to use it to forge."
Jacob\'s eyes lit up, \'This will do!\'
"How expensive?" He asked.
Isaac replied, "1 Gram of Graphite Steel for 2 Silver Coins, and I\'ll charge 1 Gold Coin for my service."
\'It\'s indeed expensive, but I have coins to spare. If I can change some parts of the revolver and new bullets to make it deadlier and change the skeleton of the colt rifle and its bullets, it should be enough for a while. As for creating model guns, I need my lab, which I can\'t have at this moment.\'
Jacob picked up the notebook and drew parts he needed to further increased his two firearms.
Isaac was also absorbed in those small exquisite parts, Jacob was drawing with significant details.
After drawing, Jacob gave it to Isaac and explain, "Forge everything with Graphite Steel except these shells and heads, use bronze and carbon for casing and head."
Isaac looked at the bullet designs and exclaimed, "Isn\'t that ammo? You know how to create firearms?"
Jacob smiled, "I just know how to create ammunition, as for other parts they\'re for something else. So, how is it can you create these small bullets?"
Isaac was shocked this time because he knew those gunsmiths that can create ammunition weren\'t something a small blacksmith like him could compare with, and Jacob\'s identity became even more mysterious in his eyes at this moment.
He said in embarrassment, "Sir, these bullet parts are really quite difficult to create, but as long as I can create a mold, it wouldn\'t be difficult. But I\'m afraid it would take me more time to create them."
Jacob coolly replied, "I\'ll draw you these two mold designs as well, but you have to give the first two molds to me for free, and you have to give me a 40% discount on bullet parts and those mold designs would be yours to use how however you wish."
Isaac was shocked because he understood those bullet molds were even more precious and with them, he could have an endless bullet stream, which he could sell to the mercenary guild and increase his business to an unimaginable height.
"We have a deal!"
He agreed without any hesitation because Jacob\'s bullets looked far more precious than normal bullets, so paying this small price was nothing!
