Chapter 429: Armament Mastery (1/2)

Most professions relied on one's spiritual energy, such as formations, inscriptions, and alchemy. However, armament mastery was different.

Armament mastery depended on one's physical body and Qi. It was easiest to compare it to the mortal occupation of a blacksmith, but because the resources were imbued with energy, the treasures the armament masters made were spiritual treasures.

Having an armament master as a friend was a beneficial thing, so Xue Wei was not against him beginning to train the profession. However, he was confused by the reason given.

The claws that Hei Gou had used were different from standard weapons. They were condensed from his own body, and would grow alongside him, so why would he need to replace them, or change them?

But this was Hei Gou's own thing; if he did not feel like telling Xue Wei, then Xue Wei would not try to pressure him. He knew Hei Gou well. He would never harm him, and at some point, he would tell him what was going on.

”Do you know anything about armament mastery?” Xue Wei asked with a frown. ”Although I support your idea, you need some books about armament mastery to begin learning the craft. I have the materials necessary to start practicing armament mastery, so I will give you some when you have the required books to start. Also, I guess you need a furnace of some sort? I am not sure you can use a cauldron, so I think it is a necessity to buy a furnace.

”Maybe we should go to town and find the auction house; they should have the books and the furnace we need.”

Hei Gou's eyes shone brightly when he heard Xue Wei's words. But right now they had joined the army camp, were they allowed to leave it already? There had to be some rules about who and when one could leave.

Xue Wei was not too informed about the rules of the army camp, as they had just arrived recently.

They had been here a few days, but it was as if all of them had been thrown to the army camp and forgotten by everyone else. There were no leaders around, and this was a real dog eat dog world. Even when Xue Wei crippled the Fire Horse, no army representative came to step forward.

As to whether or not there were any Generals or Captains, or other higher-ranked military officials, Xue Wei did not know.

Even when the whole entourage of Fire Horses appeared, no one tried to come and solve the problem.

But Xue Wei had a nagging feeling that they were being observed. It was all a trial, to see if the soldiers were ready for the battlefield.

But as to how long they had to be there to show their worth, he truly had no idea.

Although Xue Wei was confident about joining the battlefield, he was not sure how long it would take before he could enter it.
