Chapter 12: Forging, Is That Anything More?
Similar to other skill trees, the Forge skill tree has four tiers. Except for the "Novice Forging Technique", which is the initial skill given away for free, everything else needs to be exchanged for skill points.
"Activate Life Skill: Forge of Steel Materials. Normal-level equipment and fine-tier equipment can be crafted from steel. ”
"Unlock Life Skills: Novice Forging Success Rate Increased. +20% current success rate, 70% total. ”
"Start Life Skills: Novice Craftsman Descendants. Current Forge Speed gain gain of +20%, Forge Success Rate gain gain by 5%"
Each of the three skills costs 2 skill points. There is nothing worthwhile or unworthy, and there is no willingness or unwillingness. In fact, Luo Ning had no choice, because these three were the prerequisites for opening advanced skills, and they were the most needed skills at the moment, and he had to learn, especially the "Craftsman God Successor".
There are 30 skill points left, which are allocated to three advanced skills without incident.
"Specialized Steel Material Forging: Rare equipment can be crafted from steel. ”
"Specialization-level forging success rate increased: current forging success rate: 90%!"
"Descendant of the Specialized Craftsman: Current Forging Speed +60%, Forging Success Rate -15%... Saying... The craftsman strikes the iron so fast that it flies, is it so dragged? No matter, since there is no other way, then bet all your hopes on this!"
Luo Ning silently recited three advanced skills worth 10 skill points, thinking about what to do next, and didn't notice the discussion between Lena and the others not far away.
Just as Luo Ning activated the forging skill, and Master Hank was still talking about the essentials of blacksmithing, the magic bell pulled Lena and asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, you said that Luo Ning... Can he learn to black? Is it really that easy to learn?"
"Forging is not easy to learn, of course, but Ronin can definitely learn to forge rare equipment!" Lena recalled what Hank had told herself, "It's not difficult to forge ordinary equipment, but if you want to forge rare level equipment, you need at least a year of training and repeating the same process hundreds of times." But even a master blacksmith like Uncle Hank can only forge three pieces of rare equipment per day. I just calculated that in order to get together 200 pieces of rare equipment, in the remaining ten days, Luo Ning would have to build more than four pieces of rare-level equipment every day. It's almost as fast as the Blacksmith Grandmaster. ”
Demon Bell was anxious: "Your Royal Highness Princess, didn't you say that he would definitely be able to learn it? How is this possible?"
Lena smiled and said, "I don't dare to say it if I were someone else, but this kid is different!
"You mean..."
"Even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope left, I will do my best!"
Lina looked at Luo Ning with a serious expression: "Whether it is in prison, in the blood crow's lair, or in the suburbs of White Moon City, whenever he gambles all hopes, he will show that decisive and confident expression, and then create miracles that cannot be achieved in the eyes of ordinary people." That's why I believed: miracles, this time it will happen!"
"Miracles... Magic Bell stared at the black-haired boy not far away, silently but reverently praying to the gods, asking him to bless Luo Ning to get his wish.
"Bell!" As Master Hank's last hammer fell, a rare-grade longsword with a glowing edge was born.
Hammer forging, polishing, quenching, steel grinding, and the final chiseling mark are all steps down, and it is already dark and dusk. Luo Ning thanked Master Hank: "Thank you for your advice, I already understand the general process." Since time is pressing, I'll try it tonight to see if its rare-grade equipment is really that difficult to make!"
"Before, young man... Have you ever crafted a weapon?"
Luo Ning shrugged: "Of course not. But I've seen other people strike iron, so it should be about the same, hehe. “
Master Hank's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
The people tried to persuade him again, but when they saw that he was no longer speaking, he was already beating with a hammer. It's just that the speed of the beating made Master Hank sigh again and again after seeing it.
Lena and Hank left the blacksmith shop together, and on the way, Lena saw him frowning and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Hank, why did you sigh since just now?"
Hank didn't hide it: "You all saw the way that kid hammered the sword embryo just now, right? With such a fast thrashing speed, unless a blacksmith grandmaster like Lord Helfes comes in person, he can only make a scrap product with ten times the effort!"
"Then Luo Ning, he ..." Magic Bell began to worry again.
"Uncle Hank, why don't we make a bet?"
Hank shook his empty pockets: "Our old Hank is already a poor bastard, what capital do you have to bet with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"I don't care about the money! In this case, if Luo Ning can't forge a rare-level weapon before dawn, I'll tell you the whereabouts of the Dark Star Meteorite, and if he creates a rare-level weapon, you'll have to help him craft a handy longsword for free! My Lena's White Night Knight must always have a weapon that satisfies him!"
"The whereabouts of the Dark Star Meteorite are too valuable... Wait, you say the White Night Knight? No way! ...... that kid?"
"Yes, although he didn't join the White Night Stream, and he is not a descendant of the leader of the White Night Stream, Luo Ning's has indeed obtained the inheritance of the White Night Knight!"
Hank's face turned slightly pale, "This is bad. The White Nights have always valued the bloodline tradition, and they won't allow other White Night Knights to appear!If they find out that an outsider has obtained the inheritance, they will definitely take action against that child!"
"Did Bai Yeliu find the door by himself? That's just right, saving Princess Ben from accompanying him everywhere to find the enemy, and he will be annoyed to death!" Princess Lena didn't care about the revenge of Bai Yeliu, a behemoth.
Hank never imagined that Lena's confidence in Ronin would be so strong, and he had some hope for the so-called "miracle" in his heart.
The words are divided into two ends, and let's talk about Luo Ning's side.
Hammer the glowing steel bars into a usable blade, carefully polish them on a flat whetstone, throw the red-hot blade into a cold sink of water, and finally re-place the sword on the cobblestone for processing. Under the unique mechanism of the Ten Thousand Worlds skill tree system, Luo Ning did not encounter half of these key "heat" problems that took a lot of time to master, and walked through the abyss of nightmares that many novice blacksmiths couldn't bear to think about.
The worst thing is that the forging process, which seems boring to outsiders, seems to him, who has played a lot of brush games, to be commonplace.
"That's five or six large copies! Is that all?" Luo Ning commented on the boring life that night.
The moon rises and sets, and the moon sets and the sun rises. The sound of hammers and cobblestones grinding all night finally stopped at dawn. More than ten hours of work overdrew Luo Ning's physical strength, so he could no longer stand up straight, so he fell asleep on the back of the chair.
A short time later, Lena and her party came to the blacksmith shop with the bread left for Ronin. When he reached the door, the magic bell stopped. Lena noticed it, looked back and smiled and asked, "What, scared?"
"Hmm. Ronin had never built a weapon before. No matter how genius he is, how can an ordinary person master something that can only be learned in a year......?
"Oh my God, what the hell did I see! Oh, look at this sword! Rare, this is the real rare!"
When the two women heard this cheerful shout, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly walked into the blacksmith shop.
Master Hank, who was still sighing yesterday, was now full of red light, and his mouth couldn't close with a smile. Luo Ning, who had been busy all night, was falling asleep on the chair, without the slightest intention of being woken up. And on the weapon rack beside him, four beautifully shaped steel swords were reflecting a dazzling cold light under the reflection of the furnace fire.
