Chapter 65, Darkiron Heavy Sword
Removing the greatsword from the mold, it's not over yet, but it's nearing the end.
Just like every refiner would do, Chen Zhiyuan moved the giant sword to the anvil, and used a small hammer to gently tap on the giant sword inch by inch, from time to time to listen to it with his ears, and when he encountered something unsatisfactory, he would pick up the big hammer next to him and knock it hard a few times, and then use the small hammer again to listen.
After knocking the entire giant sword from head to toe, Chen Zhiyuan picked up the sledgehammer again and smashed it on the giant sword one after another.
What Chen Zhiyuan is doing now is naturally not to smash the giant sword, but to compress the giant sword, compressing it from such a big appearance to be smaller and stronger, of course, no matter how much it is compressed, it will not be much smaller.
The beaten greatsword is indeed smaller than when it was first taken out of the mold, but it is still very huge, but everyone knows that this is probably the finished product.
Chen Zhiyuan took the ebony wood that had been prepared next to him, and it was a coincidence that this ebony wood was the dark trees that Chen Zhiyuan had encountered when he was in Yinshan, but the ones that could become refining materials were the part of the heart of the hundred-year-old wood, and the rest were just good fire materials.
Simply carved out a grip that could be held with both hands, Chen Zhiyuan heated it up, put it into the grip of the giant sword, and when it cooled down, it would stick tightly together.
In the end, Chen Zhiyuan took the ice silk and wrapped it around the grip.
By this time, Chen Zhiyuan's refining this time was basically over, and the three refiners present also got up from where they were sitting and walked in front of this giant sword.
"Is there anything else to continue?"
A refiner asked, in fact, there was nothing left to do in this way except to engrave the inscription, Chen Zhiyuan also shook his head, signaling that they could inspect this giant sword.
After the three refiners used different methods to probe Chen Zhiyuan's giant sword, they came to another room to discuss, while Chen Zhiyuan and his giant sword stayed in place and waited, and other refining apprentices could also come up to watch Chen Zhiyuan's works at this time, and they could also ask questions to Chen Zhiyuan.
"Senior brother, how did you come up with the idea of building such a giant sword in the first place? I think with its quality, ordinary people can't use it, right?"
"At first, I was thinking about building a piece of equipment that would work for me, and as you can see, this greatsword suited me perfectly. ”
"But don't you have a good knife, senior brother?"
"Oh, that knife is a little lighter now, and didn't you notice that this greatsword can be used as a sworder?"
"Then why did you choose to use this way to fight, as far as I know, equipment such as building giant swords is generally forged in one time, and this giant sword of yours, senior brother, is obviously forged three times and then glued. ”
"At the beginning, I also wanted to succeed at one time, but you also know that whether the impurities on the materials can be processed to the same level, not to mention, it is to smelt so many materials at one time, which is a big test for the refiners of our realm. ”
"Then in the choice of materials, why don't you all use dark iron? If it's the same material, the possibility of problems in the future will be lower, right? But senior brother, you chose the copper mother in the middle, and the dark iron on the outside. ”
"There's another side to that. I bought some metal binders from Master Ouyang before this, and you have seen it, and if the copper mother is in the middle, the whole giant sword will become heavier and feel better, I don't believe you can try it. ”
With Chen Zhiyuan's permission, a few bold refining apprentices lifted Chen Zhiyuan's giant sword and tried it.
I don't know if I don't try, I was shocked when I tried it, these apprentices didn't feel good, they only had one sentence in their minds: What is this thing so heavy?! After all, the final finished product of this giant sword weighs more than 300 catties, and even Chen Zhiyuan can't hold it and wield it for too long.
About a pillar of incense passed, Ouyang Yushui walked out of the room next to him and beckoned to Chen Zhiyuan.
"Come in and bring your results with you. ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhiyuan stopped chatting with this group of apprentices, and walked into the room next to him with the giant sword he had built.
"We have identified this giant sword of yours, although there is no inscription yet, but it has basically met the requirements of a magic weapon, and the inscription will definitely be a magic weapon, then first of all, congratulations on becoming a first-class refiner, this is your refiner token, take it, no matter where you go in the future, you can rely on this to prove your identity as a refiner." ”
The refiner token is the appearance of a small shield, non-gold and non-wood, with two crossed swords engraved on it, and under the sword is the word "one", which is probably the meaning of a first-grade refiner. On the back of the token are the signatures of three people, with the words "Ouyang Yushui" that Chen Zhiyuan is familiar with, and the names of two other people who he doesn't know.
Chen Zhiyuan took the token with both hands, thanked the three refiners, and then continued to listen to them talk about the next thing.
"The second is to give you the name and inscription of this newly built weapon, you come up with the name yourself, if the inscription is engraved, this time we can help you engrave it for free, as long as it is not too demanding, we can generally accept it. ”
The name Chen Zhiyuan has already thought of it, as for the inscription, it may be a little complicated, I hope it will not be rejected.
"If it's a name, it's called the Xuantie heavy sword, and in terms of the inscription, my heavy sword is made in three parts, specifically, can it also be engraved with three weapons?"
"Hmph, you know it's three?!"
Ouyang Yushui snorted with his nose, he knew what his idea was when he saw Chen Zhiyuan doing this, but after all, it was his apprentice, there were so many people at that time, it was not easy to say that, now there are only four people here, and the remaining two refiners are also his acquaintances, so naturally he won't care.
Ordinary weapons are forged as a whole, so you don't have to think so much about compiling inscriptions, because if ordinary weapons are broken, they are broken as a whole. But Chen Zhiyuan took a trick, although his giant sword seems to be a whole, but in fact, if it is forcibly disassembled, it can still be used as three weapons, so it can naturally be used as three weapons to engrave.
Of course, this has such advantages, but there are also certain disadvantages, then this weapon is three merged together after all, and it may really be separated one day after a long time, and then they will have to be re-equipped with handles to use, but after dismantling, they are some strange weapons, so if there is really a day of separation, it will be the day when this heavy sword is broken, which is destined to have a life span that is not as long as that of ordinary heavy sword.
"Say, what inscription do you want to engrave. ”
"The long knives on both sides are engraved with sharpness and lightness, the bronze mother in the middle is engraved with weight, and the rest is carved strongly. ”
This kind of engraving was carefully considered by Chen Zhiyuan, of course, it was also taking advantage of the free opportunity, and it was the refining master who carved it for himself, so Chen Zhiyuan dared to play like this.
Chen Zhiyuan knew that although the two long knives were strangely long, because the materials were sufficient, and he was very careful to build them, although he could not have six engraving positions, but five still existed, so as the two edges of the giant sword, after the sharpness and lightness, Chen Zhiyuan added strength to all of them, in order to prolong the service life of this giant sword.
In the same way, as the gluing part in the middle, the copper mother sword does not need too many functions, because the long knives on both sides are engraved with lightness, the weight of the giant sword will drop a lot, and it will not achieve the effect that Chen Zhiyuan wants, after all, the reason why the heavy sword can be called a heavy sword is because it is heavy enough, so the copper mother sword needs to make up for this weight, Chen Zhiyuan chose the inscription of heavy, and the strength is also to prolong the life. It's a pity that the copper mother sword was cast into it later, and only four inscriptions can be engraved.
"Hmph, that's a lot of. ”
Ouyang Yushui snorted again, and beckoned the other two refiners to join him to inscribe Chen Zhiyuan's giant sword, fortunately, the giant sword was big enough, and the three of them would not be too crowded when they started work at the same time.
Chen Zhiyuan was waiting beside him, while the three refiners were helping him to compile the inscription, Chen Zhiyuan thought to himself, if only there was such a free opportunity in the future.
At the beginning, the core inscription was still relatively fast, but the more it went to the back, the more difficult it became, and it took a total of an hour before and after the three refiners finally finished compiling and carving the fourteen inscriptions, and although the appearance of Chen Zhiyuan's Xuantie heavy sword had not changed, it gave people a completely different feeling, and when it was quietly placed on the table, it was like a fierce beast with its minions put away.
With the last pleasant "ding", the inscriptions on the Xuantie heavy sword were activated one by one, and the light that came out of the body showed the appearance of the inscriptions on the heavy sword, making this Xuantie heavy sword look extremely mysterious.
"Alright, it's finally done. ”
Wiping the sweat from his head, a refiner like Rao is Ouyang Yushui was a little tired from spending so long carefully compiling the inscriptions.
"Congratulations, you've successfully crafted a second-grade weapon. ”
The second grade corresponds to the condensation period, which means that the most suitable person to use this Xuantie heavy sword is a cultivator in the condensation period, but there is no problem for people in other realms to use it.
"Everywhere, it is the support of the masters that makes it break through to the second grade. ”
Using the materials of the first product to create the equipment of the second grade, Chen Zhiyuan's heart was naturally very happy, after all, it meant that he would not have to think about replacing a heavy sword or heavy knife for a long time, except for the case of losing it, of course.
"It's a pity, although it has been supported by the inscription, but because of the material, this Xuantie heavy sword has no potential to be improved. ”
Ouyang Yushui was not as happy as Chen Zhiyuan, after all, in his opinion, if the choice of materials could be better, this heavy sword could also improve its quality by recasting and re-inscribed inscriptions in the future.
"It's a pity, it's not a pity, after all, its main materials are all common materials of the first product, and it is already beyond my expectation to have a second product. ”
Seeing the happy look on Chen Zhiyuan's face, Ouyang Yushui didn't say anything more to spoil the scenery, but picked up the heavy sword and threw it to Chen Zhiyuan as if it were nothing.
"Let's go and test the power of your new gear. ”
Chen Zhiyuan took the heavy sword, his hand sank, and the heavy sword after unloading smashed to the ground, making a dull "bang", Chen Zhiyuan felt that the ground under his feet was shaken, and Chen Zhiyuan was very satisfied with this effect.
