The old janitor in the blacksmith shop didn't quite understand why this little girl who was brought over by Liu Siya to cast a knife and actually teased and humiliated her was still undead after clearly hearing Liu Siya, who was known as the first person in the world to forge weapons forging, it was impossible to forge this beast dragon rock mine spirit stone into a treasure knife in just seven days.

But after watching the little girl staring at the scimitar that he had worked so hard to forge for a long time, he finally got up slowly, took the half-finished weapons that had caused the countless blisters on her hands in his arms, and slowly walked to the furnace, and threw the swords of various shapes into the furnace with hot gas as an ordinary peasant girl sent the firewood she had collected into the stove, and watched the swords melt into liquid little by little.

Seeing that the fire in the furnace was reflected in the little girl's pair of watery peach blossom eyes, and it seemed that those eyes were as firm as the stars in the sky and the rocks on the earth, the old man understood, don't say Liu Siya's words, even if the sky falls at this moment, it can't stop this girl from insisting on making the piece of ore with a faint blue light that has been carefully put aside into a treasure knife that can be used to kill the enemy.

So he didn't say anything more to stop the thin girl from continuing to forge the knife, but silently stepped aside, watching her start the experiment again and again, and doing his best to impart to her some of the experience he had accumulated from following the owner of this shop for three times.

Every time Xin Zi heard the old man mention, he would stop the movements in his hand very carefully, listen carefully to his every word, and keep it in his heart. Apply it in your hands, and then incorporate your own understanding to improve it.

This kind of understanding and aura has made this old man, who has been unfazed for many years, feel that if she is willing to stay here, she will definitely become a top caster.

But every time he thought of this, the old man would shake his head helplessly and walk away.

After all, this girl was just a passerby, she didn't want to stay here, the old lady didn't want to keep her, and now she was trapped here, just trying to complete an almost impossible task.

Xin Zi failed again and again. Again and again. Again and again, I looked at the stubborn spirit stone in my hand and it was still the same.

She didn't give up for a moment, but time slipped away in a thousand attempts.

Four days and four nights passed in the blink of an eye.

Except for a hurried meal and a short rest, Xin Zi, who had soaked in this workshop and tried various methods to refine the spirit stone, also had to admit that the hope of success had been extinguished little by little in front of his eyes.

She stood on the edge of the furnace, holding the spirit stone about a foot wide in her hand, motionless.

The stone had just been roasted in the fire for a long time, but the moment it was taken out, it was still refreshingly cold.

Ah Zi rubbed his finger against the layers of texture on the surface of the ore. Look at this strange material that can't be dissolved. I can't tell whether it's joy or helplessness in my heart.

Happily, the blind shopkeeper of the Willow Wind Inn did not deceive himself. This is really a rare piece of good material, which can withstand the fire in this way, and if it is really made into a weapon against the enemy. It must be an indestructible and indestructible baby.

But the helpless thing is that now even softening this stone can not be done, how can you extract the ingredients you want from it, mix it with iron, copper and nickel, then remove impurities, then soften, then quench, and then repeatedly hammer and fold until it is formed?

The points that I had kept in my heart were now completely useless, because this stone was really much more stubborn than I thought, and there was no sign of being "tamed" at all.

Ah Zi thought of what she had seen and felt at the foot of Longji Mountain, and thought of the blue-black ores stacked on top of each other, and when she leaned down to feel the undulations of the shiny surface of the stones like the breath of some spiritual behemoth, she felt that what she was touching in her hands was not just the dead thing that made up the mountain, but more like the skin of some giant beast - the scale armor of a sleeping dragon.

Looking at the spirit stone in his hand again, his gaze became much softer.

Maybe you're not stubborn, you're just waiting for the right moment to lay down your armor?

Ah Zi thought about it, her hands clutched the spirit stone tightly, and slowly approached the furnace like a demon, watching the spirit stone being sent in little by little, feeling the temperature on her hands getting higher and higher, until the skin was burned, and the surface began to turn from white to black, and purple blood oozed out little by little, filling every gap between her delicate skin and the rough surface of the ore......

"Are you crazy?!"

The old man who was guarding the door, who was originally standing aside and watching all this coldly, saw Ah Zi seeing that a pair of hands had completely penetrated into the furnace with a temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees, but he didn't realize it at all, so he rushed forward with an arrow and pulled her out with the people and stones.

"You don't want to die? Do you want to put yourself in it for the sake of a stone? Do you want to learn from that? The old man reproached indignantly.

Ah Zi came back to his senses at this time, looked at the old man's worried gaze, and then turned his head to look at his hands, which were already a blur of flesh and blood.

The old man who just wanted to reprimand Ah Zi for a few more words turned his head and originally wanted to check her injuries, but he was attracted by the spirit stone in front of her.

The ore, which had been roasted in the furnace and had not changed in any way, had a subtle change at this moment, and a layer of blue-black impurities on the surface began to peel off little by little, revealing a layer of metal that shimmered with silver inside.

After so many years of witnessing the creation of swords one by one, the scene in front of him was unheard of and unseen, and he could only be stunned at this moment.

Ah Zi looked at the old man in a daze and asked, "Did I succeed?" ”

Unexpectedly, it seemed to be a dead end smelting method, but after coming into contact with Ah Zi's demon blood, she accidentally found a breakthrough, this happiness came too suddenly, until the old man bandaged the wound on her hand, Ah Zi was still at a loss, and always felt like in a dream.

The old man carefully wrapped Ah Zi's hands while muttering that such a smelting method was really unique through the ages, but in the middle of his words, he suddenly stopped.

Outside the door, a well-dressed woman led a young woman in.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

Mrs. Liu smiled and helped the old man up, turned her head to Liu Siya behind her and said, "The little girl has completed the step of the golden stone in front of her, do you still want to watch from the wall?" ”

Liu Siya lost all her previous arrogance, smiled and made a grimace at Mrs. Liu, stepped forward to pick up the spirit stone that had been stripped of the surface, and officially took over the forging work. (To be continued.) )
