"Wait..."
Zhang Tie seemed to have found something strange. The buckle design of this belt was a bit special. It was much larger than that of common belt buckles. It was in the shape of two intertwining snakes. Additionally, it looked gorgeous. The way the two snakes intertwined with each other seemed to be able to be grasped by hand.
The moment Zhang Tie grasped the buckle, he found that there seemed to be a raised button under the buckle. The moment he pressed it, the metal buckle jumped up and was held by Zhang Tie.
At the beginning, Zhang Tie thought that this leather belt was a flexible sword that could be tied to his waist, as Donder's grocery store had sold several similar items. However, when the snake-shaped metal object that looked like a hilt jumped out, Zhang Tie thought that it was a hidden dagger. Finally, when he held it in his hand, he became dumbfounded. It was neither a flexible sword that could be tied to his waist, nor a dagger; it was purely a sword hilt without a blade.
Zhang Tie carefully looked at it and found that it was really a bare sword. However, on the handguard, where the two snakes opened their mouths, there was a thin gap of about 2 cm. The gap was as small as the wound that Zhang Tie had made on his hand last night.
"What's this? Some kind of hidden weapon? " However, although this thing was convenient to hold, there didn't seem to be any switch or button on the snake-shaped sword hilt.
"What's this thing?"
Before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Second Lieutenant Pi Ping beside Zhang Tie had already asked this question.
"This is a very special sword!" Saying this, the first lieutenant gestured to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then passed the bare thing to the second lieutenant.
"Step aside, I'll show you how to use this sword!"
Zhang Tie and Pi Ping both moved back a few steps.
"You'd better stand two meters away from me. This sword is a bit special. I can't control it well..."
Zhang Tie and Pi Ping then moved back a few more steps until they were two meters away from the first lieutenant. Meanwhile, they became curious about what kind of sword it was.
"Watch carefully!"
The captain said and took a deep breath. With a light sound of "Cha", a sharp and thin blade bounced out of the mouth of the snake-shaped hilt. With a sharp, cold light flashed by, a steel bar which was used to check the sharpness of weapons on a weapon rack 1 m away in front of the captain was broken into two halves. After cutting off the steel bar, the cold light continued to roll towards one side like a whip. Closely after that, it bounced towards another direction disorderly like a disobedient spring. Two of them bounced towards Zhang Tie and Pi Ping. The two of them were startled and hurriedly took two steps back. Only then did the captain somewhat jerkily control the sword hilt, causing the randomly bouncing blade to calm down.
"The blade of this sword is hidden in the hilt. You need to use Inward Force and Peak Force. Because the blade of this sword is soft, thin and elastic, it's very hard to control. If you're not careful enough, you might hurt yourself. Therefore, this sword has been placed here for a long time and has not been selected by the officers... "
Hearing the captain's words, Zhang Tie walked over there and carefully pinched the blade which was as thin as a cicada's wing and a bit wider than 2 cm. At this moment, the blade that was exposed was less than 1 m long; however, Zhang Tie saw that the blade was already longer than 1 m.
"Be careful, I'm using my hidden force to move the blade. If I retract my hidden force, the blade will automatically retract and cut your hand …" the officer warned.
"How long is the blade of this sword?" Zhang Tie asked.
"About 3 m. You can pull the blade with your hand. I will slowly drive it with my inward force. Then, we can take a look at the entire blade!"
Therefore, Zhang Tie pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers and moved back. Driven by the captain's inward force, the blade of the sword was slowly pulled out. It was really about 3 m long.
'F * ck!' Looking at the exaggeratedly thin blade, Zhang Tie immediately understood where the inspiration of the guy who made this sword came from.
Steel tape!
The inspiration of making this special sword definitely came from such a common thing that could be seen by everyone in daily life. Zhang Tie still remembered that when he was young, he took out his dad's steel tape to play with it. As a result, when he took it back, he was cut on his hand and face at the same time. Because of this, he was even spanked by his mom, which was unforgettable.
The blade of this sword was also like the tape of the steel tape. It was coiled and hidden in the hilt and could only be driven out with a special force. Once the special force was gone, it would automatically shrink back. 'This principle, this structure, this creativity, besides the materials, craftsmanship and the hilt, is there any difference between this special sword and a steel tape that could be bought at dozens of copper coins?
'Did the guy who made this sword also get cut when he was playing with a steel tape at home? Therefore, he got this inspiration when he grew up? That's definitely the case.'
In the hands of an expert, even a tunic could be used as a rod, let alone such a meticulously crafted weapon. Besides being a bit difficult to control, the main reason why people didn't like this special weapon was that its shape and function were a bit feminine, which didn't match the masculine, gorgeous and magnificent weapon style pursued by the soldiers of the Norman Empire who believed in the Battle God. Therefore, it was left here.
Others might not like such a weapon; however, Zhang Tie didn't like it at this moment. But he felt that it couldn't be more suitable.
The waistband was basically a portable weapon hanger of this weapon. It was convenient and not eye-catching. It was the most suitable for Zhang Tie at this moment.
As for the problem of using this weapon in actual combat, hehe, the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit would solve this problem soon.
This special sword also had a name that matched its style very well — Scarlet Serpent!
It was the name of a venomous snake, according to the captain. There were some special red patterns on the body of the sword that had been specially processed. When the sword was fully displayed, as long as one pushed it with hidden force, the sword radiance of the sword would turn into a dazzling light. It was a swimming Scarlet Refined Snake. Moreover, according to a person's ability, level, and the power to activate the sword were different. It was the color of the Scarlet Serpent that was revealed by the sword gleam. The amount would also be different.
Without a doubt, although it was a little strange, this Chi Lian was absolutely qualified to be placed here.
Zhang Tie chose this sword without any hesitation.
As it was not easy for him to use it here and he didn't want to expose the fact that he had already recovered, he didn't try it right away. Instead, he signed a document to take the sword and left with Pi Ping. Before leaving the Equipment Department, Zhang Tie had already taken off his common leather belt and thrown it into the dustbin. He tied the belt with Chi Lian around his waist.
Zhang Tie was in a good mood.
...
In the evening, Zhang Tie ate in the dining hall where he ate with Bilis last time. This time, Zhang Tie felt that his appetite had increased by almost 20% compared to before. He had a great appetite, which might be the effect of preliminary recovery body. After eating up the usual amount, Zhang Tie ordered another steak before he felt that he had almost eaten up.
After eating, Zhang Tie clearly felt that after the food was digested, the nutrients and energy in the food were increasing his energy and physical strength at a faster speed. When he ate, there seemed to be a wisp of warm qi inside his body, which made him feel very comfortable.
Unknowingly, Bilis had already appeared in front of Zhang Tie respectfully. After the meal, Zhang Tie glanced at Bilis. After almost a week, Bilis had changed a set of clothes and wore a peaked cap. His complexion was also good, looking much better than last time.
"Take a seat..."
After Zhang Tie asked him to take a seat, Bilis carefully sat in front of Zhang Tie and reported what had happened in the past week to Zhang Tie.
As Zhang Tie had predicted, after Bilis took the 20 gold coins that he had extorted from Mr. Beise and found those ruffians whose legs had been broken by him as Zhang Tie's subordinate, those ruffians didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the compensation, they started to follow Bilis. For those ruffians, having a "backer" like Zhang Tie was a hundred times better than following that guy who had a hole in his nose.
Zhang Tie felt a bit proud inside. It was the first time for him to experience the effect of using carrot and stick at the same time as what Donder had said. It was a bit of an achievement to subdue some ruffians who ran errands in Blapei.
"How about the matter about catching those spies and saboteurs of the Sun Dynasty that I asked you to inquire about?"
Speaking of this, Bilis became a bit nervous. "It's said that those who are responsible for catching those spies in Blapei are the secret police of the Norman Empire. Those people act mysteriously, and there's no news about them outside!"
This answer was also within Zhang Tie's expectation. "Since Bilis could tell me about the secret police, it seems that he's very concerned about what I've told him. However, at his level, he could only get some common news. He might not be able to touch some secrets." Zhang Tie thought to himself.
After saying this, Bilis glanced at Zhang Tie with a bit nervousness. "Erm... there's one more thing!"
"What's that?"
"Those people... some of them still don't believe that I'm working for you. They... they want to see you again. Only when they see their real boss will they feel reassured!"
Zhang Tie faintly frowned. Soon after that, he felt relieved. This was indeed reasonable. "Have their wounds healed?"
"Not yet. But after putting on plaster, many of them can walk now!"
"Next week then. I will find time to meet them with you next week!"
"Fine!" Bilis lowered his head...
