Chapter 1021: Section 655: Love from the Past (Part 2)_2
Even if he went back, he could still give a proper report—these biologically engineered human tribes are far from the Eastern Human World and close to the Western Human World, so Malin stepping forward to teach them wouldn’t be considered crossing any lines in the eyes of the Thanans.
Thus, Malin could completely bypass the Thanans, so ultimately, it didn’t matter.
This made Malin very happy. Reaching an agreement with the Thanans on this matter, he even went out of his way to provide the Thanan ambassador with some new blueprints. The ambassador, having obtained the blueprints, didn’t mind at all—after all, even if they couldn’t buy metals here at a bargain price, the Thanans believed they had already profited. In their view, it was better to sign a fair commercial contract now than to risk these biologically engineered humans cutting off trade due to resentment toward them.
This left Malin deeply admiring the ambassador’s conduct—what a flexible and pragmatic old gentleman.
Over the next four days, Malin taught the young biologically engineered humans how to forge melee weapons. The end result was that out of a hundred of them, 70% learned how to make blunt weapons, while the others learned how to forge spearheads and axes.
Swords were too complicated; axes and hammers were far simpler and more accessible—the former only required forging a hammerhead. Malin even taught them how to craft molds.
For spearheads, those were even simpler.
Spears could be turned into long weapons or throwing spears. Most importantly, they were practical and easy to make.
For the biologically engineered humans, they were also very straightforward weapons to produce.
Most importantly of all, after the biological warriors tried the longswords, warhammers, and hand axes Malin crafted, they all agreed that the longswords felt too light, whereas the warhammers and hand axes were weapons that suited their hands.
Speaking of long spears, they weren’t particularly fond of them either, but after Malin explained they could better defend against Chaos cavalry with these weapons, they were willing to give them a try.
