Chapter Eighty-Seven: Smelting
Daddy kept taking Lin Yi to the depths of the forging room, and it wasn't until the two of them walked to an independent airtight room that Daddy stopped and said without looking back.
"Elven imp, you said you wanted me to identify a weapon, right?"
"Yes, Senpai. Ignorance... Before Lin Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father.
"If you want me to identify weapons, that's fine. The premise is that you have to help me get started first. Daddy still said with his back to Lin Yi.
"Although the seniors commanded, as long as the juniors can do it, the juniors must not shirk. β
"I didn't force you to do this, you voluntarily promised me, if there is any accident, you will bear the consequences, even if so, are you still willing?"
"Everything is of my own free will, not the business of my predecessors. β
At this time, Dad turned around and glanced at Lin Yi carefully, as if he had seen the wrong person before, and muttered in a low voice on the side, "Is this still the elf clan I have seen before? Hmph, no matter what conspiracy you have, I'll let you taste the bitterness when you get inside. β
"Come in with me. β
Lin Yi followed his father into the closed room in front of him, and the temperature inside suddenly rose a lot, even if Lin Yi had wind magic to help him cool down, he was sweating profusely at the moment.
On the other hand, on the other hand, as soon as he stepped into this room, the whole person became fanatical, as if he had taken a stimulant.
"Boy, close the door and let you see what Uncle Ben is capable of. β
After Lin Yi followed his father's instructions and closed the door, his father picked up a rough embryo that looked like an axe next to the workbench and threw it into a small stove to burn. See. Wool, Chinese net"
After Lin Yi responded simply, he quickly came to an I-shaped handle next to the stove, and put his hands on the handle, when Lin Yi wanted to pull the handle out, he found that this handle was quite weighty, and ordinary people couldn't pull this handle with ordinary strength at all.
"Hmph, little ghost, this handle was carefully designed by me, and ordinary people can't pull it without a little strength, look at your body... β
Just when Dad thought that Lin Yi couldn't move and asked for help for himself. In the next second, Daddy's eyes widened, only to see that Lin Yi was very relaxed pushing and pulling, and he was not as hard as he thought.
"How is that possibleγγγγγ β
Dad was surprised, thinking that Lin Yi was using magic to cheat, but the magic element in the air had never been passive at all.
"Hmph, I can't see that this little ghost still has some strength, it's the first time I've looked away, don't get lucky, you will look good next." β
The fire inside the stove was getting hotter and brighter, and Daddy crouched next to the mouth of the stove and watched the situation inside.
"Yes, continue to maintain this speed, not too fast or too slow, otherwise the materials inside will not be fully fired, and the weapons produced will be wasted. β
While looking at the stove, Dad explained to Lin Yi the process of their current forging.
In the process of Lin Yi's repeated pushing and pulling, a full hour passed, during which Lin Yi did not say a word, and the father who was squatting next to the stove did not speak, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not say a word.
In addition to the sound of crackling flames in the stove and the friction of Lin Yi's push and pull handle, the father who was staring at the stove slowly raised a hand.
And Daddy's eyes never left the stove, and Lin Yi, who was not far away, knew the meaning of Daddy's gesture.
In addition to maintaining the speed of pushing and pulling, it is now necessary to keep an eye on Daddy's gestures for fear of missing the best time.
As Daddy's gesture lifted to a certain height, he suddenly pressed down, and Lin Yi also stopped pushing and pulling the blower at the first time.
After making this gesture, Daddy opened the valve of the stove wearing a pair of thick special gloves, and then picked up the long tongs on the ground and clamped the fired materials inside.
When a whole piece of red-hot material was removed, the temperature in the room suddenly rose several degrees.
I saw that after my father put this rough embryo on a black round table, I had time to look at this material a few more times.
"Elf Clan's little ghost, is this your first time in the forge room?" Dad called Lin Yi to his side and asked.
"Yes, Senpai. It was the first time I used a blower since I was a child. β
Lin Yi saw the way the corners of his father's mouth went up, thinking that he had messed up something, and said nervously, "Senior, could it be that the kid messed upγγγγγ?" β
"It's not that you messed up, it's that you did it so well the first time, and I wonder if you're a veteran of it. β
Dad looked at the rough embryo on the table and said, "Come and see, this rough embryo is red all over, and the temperature is balanced from top to bottom, in other words, the firing is very good, even the apprentices outside me are difficult to have such skills." β
Hearing his father praise himself like this, Lin Yi was a little uncomfortable, "Senior, you have won the award, you are staring at the whole process, and the kid is just listening to your orders." β
"Come, come, come ... You come over here, and I'll teach you the next step, forging. After all, Lin Yi had something to ask for help from the other party, and it was not easy to refuse, so he had to obediently obey his father's orders.
Lin Yi followed his father's instructions and picked up a short-handled sledgehammer under the table.
After Dad took the big hammer, he said to Lin Yi, "Boy, look at how I forged it, look at it." β
After Dad finished speaking, he held up the sledgehammer and smashed it on the red rough embryo, and there was a soft "bang", and sparks burst out under the violent collision between the two.
Lin Yi carefully observed the direction of Daddy's rotation and found that his movements were sometimes high and sometimes low, and there was no rhythm to be found.
Just when Lin Yi wanted to ask his father for advice, he found that the shape of the rough embryo slowly began to form an axe shape, and it turned out that the father's movements were high and low in order to hammer the rough embryo into an axe shape, not deliberately doing these actions.
When the father jingled for a long time, he put down the sledgehammer in his hand and let out a turbid breath.
"It's a pleasure! A man's husband should build a weapon. β
After speaking, he tore off a towel on his shoulder and wiped all the sweat off his face. said to Lin Yi, "Boy, put the weapon I made into the pool." β
Lin Yi picked up the long tongs, clamped the formed axe and put it into a pool, as soon as the axe touched the water, it made a "zizi" sound, and then a large amount of white gas came out.
When Lin Yi completely immersed the axe in the pool, many bubbles bubbled out of the pool, and as time went by, the blisters became less and less, and when Lin Yi saw that there were no blisters, he fished out the axe in the pool.
With a "bang", as the water poured down, an axe appeared in front of Lin Yi's eyes.
