Chapter 100: Excellent
Spears, weapons, long handles, and blades, are used to stab the enemy.
Although Jiaoguo is a country of its own, there are no foreign wars, and civil wars are endless.
Jiaoguo has stipulated from the beginning of the founding of the country that each of their kings is the strong. There is no tradition passed down from generation to generation. After the death of the previous monarch, the great power division organized the new monarch to compete for the throne. All masters of the tenth layer of gravity in the country can participate, in a sense, in fact, every monarch of Jiao Country is the strongest person with the highest force value in Jiao Country!
Not everyone is indifferent to fame and fortune, and getting the supreme monarch means fame and fortune. Awakening to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women is the dream of men all over the world, including another world.
No matter how many hardships you have gone through, how many bones you have stepped on. It might all be worth it for them. Therefore, in order to compete for the throne, isn't it normal to assassinate an opponent?
As a master, the dignity of the master must be maintained, and the shelf must be held. Naturally, the assassination is to send the Dark Guard to do it, and he must consciously cultivate his own power. As a result, the guards of the family who are supported by the masters or nobles do not know how many.
It's a pity that in Jiaoguo, it is not like the ancient martial arts that Liu Yue knows, there are profound internal force exercises, and there are rare weapons in the world. Jiaoren only has a gravity similar to brute force, and a relatively rich iron ore.
The gravity technique does not make them invulnerable, and the external weapon is extremely important.
The spear is one of the commonly used weapons of the Jiao people, in addition to the spear, there are only spears, machetes and swords. And the spear, from the point of view of the blacksmith, is something that everyone can fight. It will be very difficult for Liu Yue to compete for the ranking from here.
Standing in front of the furnace and thinking a lot, in the end, Liu Yue still felt that if she wanted to be brilliant, she probably couldn't hide her secrets. You have to make a fuss about hardness. After all, the shape of the spears is similar. It is impossible to say that it was a spear, but it was a spear that came out in the end.
Generally speaking, the sharpness of the Cheng dù also relies on the technique of the blacksmith. and the treatment of the cutting edge. It's not that hard, at least two out of ten blacksmiths can do it.
Of course, Liu Yue can do it too. But it still doesn't stand out.
Only the hardness may be better than others.
Place the iron in the furnace. High-temperature molten iron. In addition to making a fuss about the material, improving the hardness of the spear can only enhance the impurity removal rate.
Nowadays, the materials cannot be changed, but with her father's Yanagi Dashu's iron-making skills, she can probably only make agricultural tools such as axes. And compared to an axe and a spear, it is the difference between a child and an adult. Otherwise, why don't the regular army use axes as weapons on the battlefield?
While thinking in my heart, the movements of my hands did not stop. Scoop out the piece of iron, place it on an anvil and beat it. Unconsciously, the body is accustomed to stretching out of the arc. Xu was thinking about things in his heart, and Liu Yue lost her usual vigilance. Naturally, she made her set of refining movements, although Liu Yue woke up after just doing it for a while, and quickly stopped her movements.
However, Duanmu Jingge, who was still lazily leaning on the chair outside, happened to inadvertently sweep here, and this look froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Liu Yue in the assessment room.
Liu Yue didn't realize it, she was frightened into a cold sweat by her actions just now. This is the foundation of her life, and she actually leaked it out just now. Exhale softly. Liu Yue pushes the cooled iron back into the furnace.
Sitting by the fireside, she felt like she had thought of a way to increase her hardness. You can use the method of refining tools to strike iron? If you use the refining method used by the monks to beat a piece of mortal iron, you will definitely be able to shape mortal iron into a fine product.
Although this assessment room is open. If you use the method of refining tools to strike iron yourself. It will be seen. But what can you do when you see it, just make a reason! Who can be more serious?
If you encounter a strong force that makes you have to bow your head, then ...... Just bow your head. I know the times very well. Anyway, it wasn't her own set of refining movements that came with the stone hammer. It is the most common refining method in the Vast Continent, even if it leaks. I don't feel distressed at all.
However, the mind cheating on himself in this way. I still think it's a bit of a victory. I can only apologize in my heart to the person who is about to be robbed of the place by myself. If it weren't for the fact that I had to be an official, I really didn't want to do this!
In this way, after taking the iron out of the furnace for the second time, Liu Yue abandoned the iron-striking technique and directly used the refining method.
The iron is still the same piece of iron, but it has changed dramatically. Little by little, the black impurities precipitate, and the color of the whole iron becomes clearer and clearer from cloudiness. It's as if a qualitative change has occurred. From a distance, there seems to be a glimmer of light passing by.
This is absolutely impossible to do with ordinary mortal iron-striking techniques. This can only be done with the refining method.
What Liu Yue didn't notice was that although she consciously used the ordinary refining method, how could her habits for many years be so easy to change. If Liu Yue was given a mirror to see her movements, she would definitely find that every movement she made had more or less the shadow of the set of refining movements she was used to. Although, she really didn't mean to.
It is precisely because of the influence of this set of refining actions that this piece of iron has undergone otherworldly changes, and just looking at the process can completely predict what the result will be.
Liu Yue continued, completing it step by step meticulously. The inside of the iron block is boiling, as if it is constantly being crushed and reassembled. The ordinary hammer seemed to come to life in Liu Yue's hands. Each step brings out its greatest potential, turning the most beautiful arc.
Duanmu Jingge, who had been paying attention to Liu Yue, had long since lost his careless posture, and although he was still expressionless now, his slightly straight back was revealing his concern and unusualness.
The twelve city priests who had been by his side also saw that something was wrong. Following the gaze of the great master, I saw a female blacksmith striking iron in the assessment room.
The city division, who didn't know the inside story, began to ponder in their hearts, this female blacksmith is indeed rare, but it won't make the great masters of a country stare at it so intently, right? Is it a fancy? This is a bit difficult to do, if this female blacksmith can't get a rank, it's just that, if she is famous, then she can't just give it to the great master as a concubine. What should I do?
That Wei Chi Chengsi knew Liu Yue, and he was apprehensive in his heart, and he really couldn't blame him for being afraid. In fact, what Liu Yue didn't know was that even if she was arrested by mistake that time and mistakenly thought she was Duanmu Jingge's concubine, it was really the picture of his concubine that the great master had once widely distributed, and this Liu Yue was indeed three or four points similar to the concubine.
This great master stared at her like this, did he find that she looked more like his concubine, would he be unhappy, this Liu Yue was pushed by himself, if he was implicated? Don't let your official position not rise, but anger the national teacher and lose your life, then you are not unjustly killed. I couldn't help but secretly regret why I pushed Liu Yue up at that time.
At this time, Liu Yue didn't know what was going on in the hearts of the big officials outside, but if she knew what they were thinking, she would be angry. Now, she had reached the final moment of spear making.
Her expression became more and more focused, and the hammer in her hand seemed to have no weight, spinning and flying in the palm of her hand, and people outside would be amazed by the beauty of her movements even if they couldn't understand her movements!
One, two, three...... I don't know how many hammers she hammered, but at this time, this hammer is her only tool in her eyes, and the iron on the anvil is the only thing she focuses on. The world disappeared in her eyes and heart.
When, with the last crisp sound, an amazing scene happened. The hammer in Liu Yue's hand seemed to have completed her mission, and after the last blow, it collapsed in front of Liu Yue, turning into ashes and floating in the heavens and the earth. Liu Yue was also stunned, feeling that this hammer was too unstrong. Sure enough, it's a mortal weapon.
Duanmu Jingge outside suddenly stood up from his chair when he saw this scene. The rest of the city divisions had their own thoughts, and they didn't see this scene, but they were worried when they saw that the great power division was moving so much. I don't understand what happened to the national teacher, why is it so abnormal!
Now, the tip of the spear displayed in front of Liu Yue was extremely sharp, as if it could pierce a person's heart with a light yì. The body of the spear was extremely smooth, shining with the cold light peculiar to pig iron, and as soon as you got close to it, you could feel the bloody murderous aura. Stroking the spear, Liu Yue pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, and really couldn't figure out why it would have such an effect. It was really unexpected that the refining method could be used in this way for mortal iron. Wouldn't that be too eye-catching? Liu Yue felt a little uneasy in her heart. But there is no time to refine a new one, and besides, her hammer has turned to ashes, and she has no tools, how can she strike iron? Now it seems that this is the only way to go.
Not long after, the three-hour assessment competition came to an end. All blacksmiths should stand in front of each assessment room with their own works, waiting for the chief examiner to watch the scoring with all the attendants.
Liu Yue stood in front of the assessment room with her head stubborn, carrying her much-anticipated spear, waiting for the final judgment.
The great master led everyone from a distance, and everyone was talking as if they were discussing your achievements. Occasionally nodding his head to indicate satisfaction, or shaking his head to indicate no. The expressions on the faces of the city priests ranged from smug to ugly.
Finally, everyone stood in front of Liu Yue.
Silent......
Liu Yue secretly glanced at everyone with her eyes, except for the great master standing at the front, who stared at her spear expressionlessly, the rest of the people looked dumbfounded! As for the surprise? Liu Yue thought in her heart, but she didn't dare to move on her face, it was really too abnormal for them to look, Liu Yue was afraid that if she moved, it would be as if she was going to cause terrible consequences!
Suddenly, a cold voice broke the silence, and the flat tone without any ups and downs seemed to be a thunderclap on the ground. Spit out two words: "Excellent." (To be continued......)
