Chapter 102: Forging an off-hand weapon

With such a small episode, Kester's depressed mood relaxed a lot, and the shadows of the Calamity Dragon and the Shadow Church seemed to be less intense. He returned to the King's Sledgehammer Inn with White Feather and Silver Wing, ready to set about crafting the teeth of the two jagged wurms into off-hand weapons.

Hammer is indeed a kind and caring elder, and he also made a special trip to prepare breakfast for Kester, who had returned early, and although most of it fell into the mouth of White Feather and Silver Wing, Kester still felt very warm.

"Thanks Grandpa Hammer, can I borrow the smelting furnace again today? I want to build two weapons. Kester said, wiping his mouth.

Hammer looked surprised: "Is there any weapon better than the Silver Serpent?" ”

Kester took out the Silver Snake and gestured at it and said, "Although the Silver Snake is a very top-notch weapon, I still hope to get two spare off-hand weapons, just in case." ”

Iron Hammer nodded appreciatively: "It's good that young people have this idea, let's go to the backyard." ”

Beside the furnace, Kester scrutinized the teeth of the jagged wurm, honestly, it was the first time he'd had taken a good look at them since he got them.

As the name suggests, the sawtooth wurm is a type of wurm beast with a mouth full of serrations. They have a thin dragon bloodline, which makes them stand out from the common Warcraft and become a relatively rare wurm breed.

Although the jagged wurm is full of serrations, the only ones that are relatively valuable are the giant fangs on the left and right. The rest of the teeth are more or less decayed due to the corrosive ambergris that has been affected by its corrosive ambergris for many years, so they are generally not used for forging equipment. These two giant fangs, on the other hand, are completely immune to ambergris due to their peculiarities. The crown of the two gray fangs is about the same size as a person's middle finger, and their left and right sides are covered with dense serrations. In fact, even if you don't process them, a single stroke of the serration is enough to cut your skin open. The roots of the teeth are actually very natural handles, and if they are used as daggers for sneak attacks, they don't need to be processed.

However, Kester had his own plans, and after forging the Thick Earth Light Armor yesterday, he reviewed the magical knowledge that had been shoehorned into his head. After a cursory recollection, Kester was pleasantly surprised to find that there was really a bit of something to do with forging. Although Ike himself is not a forger, he did not instill much knowledge of forging in Kester, but looking at Eswell today, most of them are out-of-print techniques! Not to mention anything else, just those forging patterns that were lost after the Sword Forging City was destroyed by the demons were enough to make the forging masters of the entire continent of Eswell go crazy now!

Among the few ancient forging patterns, Kester has taken a fancy to a divine pattern called "Armor Piercing". Its effect is to increase the weapon's damage against high-defense opponents, which is very useful for Kester, who is on the agile route. After a battle with the Traveler Scorpion, Kester has realized that if the strength of the attack cannot penetrate the opponent's defenses, then whatever he does will be in vain.

Armor Piercing is an extremely simple pattern (and it is not difficult for a layman like Ike to memorize it), which is very suitable for beginners like Kester. The structure of the sawtooth wurm tines itself has a good armor-piercing effect, and if the two are stacked, the effect can definitely be multiplied.

Once the god pattern was chosen, Kester began to forge it. Wind Beasts are known for their speed, and there are very few big ones, and Monsters like the Gale Eagle and the Storm Eagle are already very large Wind Beasts. Compared to those large demonic beasts in the earth system, which are often the size of a house, their magic cores can omit the compression step. As a result, Kester directly began to work on the serrated wurm teeth.

The sawtooth wurm's teeth don't need to be compressed in terms of volume, but in order to engrave the pattern, Kester has to increase its temperature high enough. Under the scorching of the smelting furnace, the surface of the dragon's teeth, which was originally somewhat gray and yellow, gradually dried up and peeled off. The crystal dragon tooth body inside the cracked surface began to be revealed, and looking at the color, it was even more dazzling than the brilliant magic crystal!

The hammer never took his eyes off Kester's hands. Kester had already shocked him too much, and he couldn't help but look forward to Kester's forging process today. The expectation was so strong that Hammer forgot that he was the leader of Kester's blacksmithing. If you know that Kester still has a few forging patterns in his mind that he has never heard of or seen, I am afraid that the hammer, who is over seventy years old, will kneel down on the spot and worship Kester as a teacher.

Kester didn't know this, of course, and he carefully controlled the temperature of the furnace so that the fire would not burn the dragon's teeth if it was too hot. Dragon's tooth is not like thick soil sand, once the temperature is too high, it will be scrapped directly. Temperature control was a difficult hurdle for a newcomer, but Kester was already a high-level warrior, and his perception of temperature was much more sensitive than that of those low-level newcomer forging apprentices. Soon, he waited for the right moment.

"It's now!" Without waiting for the hammer to warn him, Kester sensitively seized the best moment. At this time, the surface of the dragon's tooth was already showing slight signs of melting, and Kester quickly put the amethyst carving knife on the dragon's tooth.

Hammer's old eyes widened wider than a bull's eye, for he saw another new pattern fall from Kester's hand to the dragon's tooth that he had never seen before! Although this pattern may seem simple, my intuition tells the hammer that its effect is definitely not as inconspicuous as it seems.

Sure enough, at the moment when the last stroke of the line was completed, a sharp feeling came to the face. It's like looking at a needle that's so sharp that you can feel a slight tingle just by looking at it!

"How the hell did this kid do it!" Iron Hammer's heart was shocked, such a concise and effective forging pattern, I am afraid that it will take countless people's improvements to reach this level: "Could it be that Ye Lingyun is really a genius that is rare in a thousand years?" Even if you are a genius, you are not so evil! Even if the hammer wanted to break his head, he wouldn't have thought that Ike's soul dwelled in the silver serpent, after all, it was too appalling.

Of course, Kester didn't know what Hammer was thinking, and at this moment he was slowly infusing his divine power into the divine pattern with all his heart. Although the Ancient Divine Patterns are simple, the amount of divine power required to activate them is not a small amount.

However, after Kester was promoted to the warrior level, his divine power has also been improved a little bit, and at this moment, the divine power in his body has reached the threshold of the seventh order, but he just needs an opportunity, and of course it is difficult for him to activate the divine pattern for the weapon. After consuming about a quarter of Kester's divine power, a soft silver light flashed, and the simple and simple divine pattern gradually disappeared into the jagged wurm fangs that had been completely transformed. As the pattern faded away, the original sharp and piercing feeling gradually disappeared, and the fangs of the jagged wurm seemed to return to the appearance of a work of art.

After having an experience, Kester's operation became much more proficient, and without the need for a hammer to remind him, he had already wrapped a fourth-order demon core with his fighting spirit, and carefully inlaid it into the center of the position where the god pattern was carved before.

The inlay was successful! The stone in Kester's heart finally landed. He carefully removed the forged tines from the furnace and suspended them in the air to cool them naturally. The fangs of the serrated wurm are not made of traditional materials such as metal or magic crystal, which eliminates the need for Kester quenching.

The temperature gradually dropped, and the color of the jagged wurm fangs slowly changed from crystal-like transparency to a translucent color similar to jade.

"Whew, it's finally done!" Kester let out a sigh of relief. He reached out and grabbed the cooled sawtooth wurm fangs, and the warm and jade-like feel made Kester simply love it: "I can't imagine that the teeth of the sawtooth wurm feel so good when used to make weapons, if this thing is popularized in high society, the sawtooth wurm must be extinct." ”

Iron Hammer's expression was even more complicated than yesterday: "Ye Lingyun, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that these forging patterns would actually appear from the hands of a young man like you who had never been exposed to forging at all." I don't know exactly how you got your hands on them, but whether you invented them yourself or where you got them, you're qualified to grow into a new generation of master blacksmiths from now on! ”

Kester was a little embarrassed to say such a high evaluation, and he smiled implicitly: "No matter what, Grandpa Hammer is my teacher!" Everything I have in forging is given by you! ”

Hearing Kester say this, Iron Hammer's expression became serious: "No, Xiao Ye, I'm not qualified to be your teacher." Before, because of my selfishness, I wanted to teach you such a genius myself, and there are some things that I didn't tell you. After this trouble, Gray will return to Locksell to report to work. Follow the Amethyst Goose to Locksell, and I'll recommend you to my teacher. A genius like you, taught by the class teacher can live up to your talent! ”

Kester was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, I think Grandpa Hammer you taught quite well..."

"No, you can't stay in a place like Lyle City forever." Iron Hammer sternly refused: "A talented young man like you should enter the top of the dragon while you are young and learn more abilities as soon as possible, instead of staying with a bad old man like me." I knew very well that I didn't qualify to be your teacher. ”

Top of the Dragon! Kester was silent, if he was just an ordinary young man, why not stay here? But he has never forgotten, and will never forget, that on his shoulders, he carries the hatred of the entire Wing Clan! Now only the top academy in the whole continent, such as the top of the dragon, can help him grow up quickly, so that he has enough ability to take revenge. After all, he is, Kester, Prince of the Winged Clan, is, the last wing!
