The Hand of Safras Flamedemon Ragnaros is a famous orange two-handed hammer from the 60s of Warcraft, and is the weapon held by the final boss of the Molten Heart dungeon, Firedemon Ragnaros, so it is also known as the "Firedemon Hammer".

In that era when even purple epic-level equipment was scarce, Xu Kang spent a lot of time and energy for this orange weapon, and even if he thought about it now, he felt deeply touched.

So when he decided to make a hammer, it was this weapon that came to his mind.

"Even if it's an imitation, if you can make it, you can keep a memory!"

Thinking of this, he bowed to Lu Zhi again.

"Uncle Shi, without further ado, I'm going to go to make my weapon now, the hand of Safras Firedemon Ragnaros, I won't be back for lunch, and I will take my leave!"

After speaking, he left the county government with the pig strong, leaving Lu Zhi alone with a long hammer in a daze.

"What did he just say about?"

……

Lu Zhi thought that Xu Kang naturally didn't know, and after leaving the county office, he found the largest blacksmith shop in the city and explained to the blacksmith the weapons he wanted to build.

Of course, a weapon with a complex shape like the Hammer of the Fire Demon would definitely not be able to just say it with his mouth, so he also spent a special drawing to show the blacksmith.

After the blacksmith read the drawings, he immediately asked the apprentice to dig up a few barrels of clay, and then went into battle himself, kneading the weapon model according to the pattern drawn by Xu Kang.

Only when the size and shape of the model were approved by Xu Kang did he start casting the mold, and then poured the molten iron into the mold to carry out the first step of casting the weapon - shaping.

In ancient times, ironmaking technology can be roughly divided into three stages, "block refining", "frying steel" and "filling steel".

Among them, the "block refining" technology is the most coarse, because charcoal is used as fuel, so the furnace temperature is too low to melt the material, and the iron is all piece by piece, which needs to be hammered to form.

But the iron is very poor, not even as good as bronze.

"Frying steel" and "filling steel" are at a higher level, because they can completely melt pig iron, and after further removing the carbon content of iron with high temperature, it can significantly improve the plasticity and ductility of iron.

The weapon made of such a material is not easy to break, the only drawback is that the material is too soft and easy to curl, and it takes a lot of time for skilled craftsmen to fold and hammer repeatedly to become a qualified weapon.

However, for Xu Kang, this step can be directly omitted.

Because the weapon he made was a sledgehammer, which was originally a blunt weapon, he didn't have to worry about the curling blade at all, even if the material was a little softer.

Even if he encounters a sword that sharpens iron like clay one day, he is not worried, because from the perspective of mechanics, it is common sense that things cannot be cut without the existence of positive pressure.

It was precisely because he understood this that he disdained to look for anything like "dark iron" and "meteoric iron", but directly used ready-made pig iron from a blacksmith, which was both efficient and trouble-free.

Soon, the hammer in the mold is formed, and only after it has cooled naturally does the blacksmith remove it from the mold and put it back in the furnace to heat it up.

Annealing, normalizing, tempering, quenching, the four major steps of weapon casting are indispensable!

Xu Kang stood by and watched, silent, until finally the blacksmith asked the apprentices to bring in a large vat of fishy and foul-smelling liquid, and he finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

"I said, what did you get here? It stinks to death, don't you tell me you're going to pour this stuff on my weapon, I'm fighting with you, do you believe it or not? ”

Seeing Xu Kang's shocked expression, the blacksmith immediately showed a wry smile on his face, and at the same time arched his hand towards him.

"This little general, if you want to get a good weapon, quenching is especially crucial, you must bathe in the drowning of five animals, quench the fat of five animals!"

Xu Kang understood this, to put it bluntly, if he wanted his weapon to be successfully quenched, he had to ask for urine and oil from domestic animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, and dogs.

Although he didn't know what the principle was, when he thought of his weapon from time to time, he felt very resistant in his heart—it was so disgusting!

So he decisively rejected the blacksmith's proposal, "It's okay to use oil, and the urine is free, and replace it with water!" ”

Since he had said so, the blacksmith did not dare to refute it, and immediately asked the apprentice to take away the large vat of urine, and bring another pole to prepare for the water.

And just as the apprentices were carrying the water and preparing to pour it into the vat, Xu Kang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately stopped them.

"Wait!"

As he spoke, he took out thousands of bags of magical fresh water from the space backpack with a wave of his hand under the shocked gazes of the blacksmiths and apprentices, and then spoke to them again: "Use this!" ”

Hearing this, the blacksmith reacted, and then hurriedly beckoned his apprentices to open the magical freshwater bags piled on the ground and pour the water into the vat.

With a few people busy, most of the magical freshwater bags on the ground quickly disappeared, replaced by a vat of clear water that constantly emitted a thin white mist outward.

Seeing this scene, the blacksmith and his apprentices couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Xu Kang again.

"Little general, that ...... The villain is quenched! ”

"Well, quench!"

After obtaining Xu Kang's permission, the blacksmith no longer hesitated, and immediately worked with his apprentices to take out the red-hot sledgehammer from the furnace and put it directly into the vat filled with magical fresh water.

"Snort...... Swish...... Goo goo ......"

The moment the hammer entered the water, the magic fresh water in the vat immediately boiled, and at the same time, billowing white smoke was emitted, enveloping the entire blacksmith shop.

When the blacksmith and his apprentices smelled the white smoke, they immediately felt refreshed and refreshed, and they all showed expressions of enjoyment, and began to breathe heavily.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly stopped them.

"I said you don't rush to suck it yet, let's quickly add water to the jar, otherwise you won't have to suck it in a while!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the blacksmith and the others noticed that in just the ten seconds they were breathing, a quarter of the magic fresh water in the vat had disappeared, and the water level was still falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, several people couldn't catch up with it and continued to suck, so they hurriedly picked up the magic freshwater bag under the vat and continued to add water to it.

When they had consumed all the remaining magic fresh water, the magic fresh water in the tank was no longer boiling, indicating that the sledgehammer in the tank had been quenched.

However, when the white smoke from the cylinder mouth dissipated, the scene inside made Xu Kang's eyes widen.

"This ...... How is this possible......"

I saw a huge hammer with a fiery red body, lying quietly at the bottom of the vat at this time, the color was exactly the same as the blacksmith had just taken it out of the furnace.

Obviously, the quenching has been completed, why is it still like it has just been burned by fire, this simply subverts their common sense!

So after seeing this scene, not only Xu Kang, but even the blacksmith and his apprentices were stunned.

Staring at the fiery sledgehammer in the jar, Xu Kang realized that it was not a way to look at it like this, and immediately reached out and tentatively touched the water in the jar.

At this touch, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Huh?"

Originally, he thought that the magic fresh water in the jar should be hot, but to his surprise, the water in the jar turned out to be cold!

It's just like the magic fresh water he usually drinks, it's cold!

"Could it be...... Is the abnormality of this sledgehammer because of the magic freshwater? In that case, let me try it! ”

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, then turned his heart sideways, and directly reached out and grabbed the sledgehammer in the tank.

To catch a piece of iron that was burned red, this is not something that ordinary people can do, and Xu Kang also has his own healing skills, so he dares to take such a risk.

At this time, he was ready, as soon as he felt hot, he would immediately retract his hand and heal his wounds with healing.

However, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he kept silently thinking about it in his heart when he touched the handle of the hammer.

"Don't burn your hands...... Don't burn your hands...... Don't burn your hands......"

Soon, his hand approached the hammer handle, and as soon as he lifted his finger, he could touch the hammer handle.

Feeling that the water temperature had not changed, Xu Kang no longer hesitated, and grabbed the handle of the sledgehammer with one hand!

It feels warm to the touch, like warm jade!

"Huh?"

Feeling this feeling, Xu Kang's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and he raised his hand to pull the sledgehammer out of the water tank directly, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.

"It's worthy of being a magic freshwater quenching weapon, and it looks super good, but I don't know how the quality is, hey...... Pregnant! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly found a firewood knife on the ground beside him, so he immediately walked over, and then raised the fiery red hammer in his hand and smashed it towards it.

"Ding......

With a crisp sound, the fiery red giant hammer and the firewood knife suddenly touched a large piece of sparks, and when he raised his hand, he saw that the firewood knife had broken into two sections.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart again, and raised his head and laughed.

"Hahahaha, this is the hammer of the fire demon that Lao Tzu wants, and now you are worthy of this name, hahahaha......"

Because he was too happy, Xu Kang laughed for several minutes before stopping.

And when he turned to thank the blacksmith and pay him, he found that he and several of his apprentices were already on their knees.

Seeing this scene, he hurriedly put down the Flame Demon Hammer in his hand and stepped forward to help the blacksmith up.

"Sir forged this magic weapon for me today, I should have thanked you, why did you make this great gift? Get up quickly, and you guys, all of you. ”

"General Xie Xiao!" Hearing his words, the blacksmith and a kind of apprentice stood up.

After standing up, the blacksmith bowed to Xu Kang with reverence.

"The little general is a child of the immortal family, today we can forge this divine soldier for you, it is really fortunate that the three bodies are three, so we have this worship!"

"Huh? You actually know me? ”

Hearing the blacksmith's words, Xu Kang's face showed a hint of surprise again, and then he laughed again.

"Hahahaha, since you know me, then this is easy to do, come, this reward for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold cake from his space backpack, stuffed it into the blacksmith's hand without saying anything, and then patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"This is my reward for you, you don't have to excuse yourself, in addition, I pay attention to good things in pairs, go, give me another hammer of fire demons, I want to hold it twice!"

Blacksmith: "(⊙o⊙)..."
