Volume 1 Loren Chapter 6 The Eye of the Heart

After saying hello to the construction workers, Linus led Xiu Zhe to the foundry, placed the materials on fire, and pulled up the bellows, and after a while, the pig iron on the foundry was burned red.

"Xiu Zhe, stand farther away." Linus picked up the casting hammer in his right hand, put on thick gloves in his left hand, stood in front of the casting table, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened it again, Xiu Zhe seemed to see a flash of light in his eyes.

Linus shouted, his body half-turned, the casting hammer in his hand brought a whining wind, and smashed heavily on the pig iron, after more than thirty smashes, Linus suddenly retracted his strength, picked up the large iron spoon next to him, scooped a scoop of zircon liquid that had been melted at high temperatures, and poured it on the deformed iron block.

"Zircon is one of the few minerals that can be incorporated into iron, which can increase some toughness for weapons, but it is actually more for aesthetics." Linus said as he walked quickly to the bellows and held the handle,

"The function of the bellows is to make the metal fully burned, which can be better forged, and you must pay attention to the temperature not to be too low, which is related to the quality of a weapon!"

Linus squatted down as he spoke, pulled the bellows more than a dozen times, and then came to the casting table, picked up the hammer and smashed it against the pig iron, even a layman like Xiu Zhe could feel that Linnas was definitely not smashing in a mess, and the extremely wild way of striking iron made Xiu Zhe involuntarily hold his breath, and his heart seemed to beat with the rhythm of the hammer.

As Linus's hammer smashing faster and faster, a special wind field formed around his body, and Xiu Zhe's jet-black hair also fluttered with the wind, and at this time, a faint figure seemed to appear behind Linus.

"Close your eyes!" Linus's loud shout woke up Xiu Zhe, who was immersed in it, and hurriedly closed his eyes, only then did Xiu Zhe feel that his heart was beating rapidly to a terrifying point, as if his heart was about to explode soon, and at the same time, his ghost hand trembled slightly.

The sound of clanging came to his ears, and Xiu Zhe seemed to be able to feel Linnas's next movements and the position of the knock on the pig iron without looking at Xiuzhe.

Neither Xiu Zhe himself nor Linus realized that even if Xiu Zhe had closed his eyes, Linnas's movements were still reflected in Xiu Zhe's mind at all.

"Sure enough, he is still too young, and if he continues to look at it, I am afraid that he will cause permanent internal injuries due to the accelerated blood flow." Linus didn't forget to glance at Xiu Zhe while knocking on the pig iron, and said secretly in his heart.

After 512 strokes, when Linus's final hammer landed on the blade that had already seen the appearance of a sword, Xiu Zhe also opened his eyes, and the feeling of the mouth suddenly opening made his bright eyes seem to have something more.

Linus wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Xiu Zhe in surprise, as if the young man in front of him knew that his hammer technique had been completed.

"Brother Lin, what is the faint shadow that appeared behind you when you used that hammer technique?"

The look of surprise on Linus's face instantly turned into horror, his eyes widened, and his tone changed and he asked, "You, can you see that shadow?" ”

Xiu Zhe nodded lightly and described: "That tall lilac figure seems to be a man, but I can't see its face clearly at all. Xiu Zhe's words made Linus even more convinced that the young man in front of him could really see it.

"And I closed my eyes, and the action of you when you hit the iron came to my mind, Brother Lin, and it was strange that when you hit the iron in my mind, I also heard the knocking sound at the same time in reality." Xiu Zhe scratched his head, he didn't know what his situation was, maybe the well-informed Linus would solve his confusion if he said it.

Intention! This word appeared in Linus's mind, according to legend, people with heart eyes can see every move of the outside world even if they close their eyes, and everything slows down in their world, what is even more terrifying is that this kind of person can copy and cast a trick just by looking at the opponent's move, and can quickly find its flaws and defeat the enemy with a move!

As if to test his inner conjecture, Linus put the hammer on the casting table and said to Xiu Zhe: "Come here, use the hammer technique I just used with your bare hands." ”

Xiu Zhe was slightly stunned and waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, I couldn't see your movements when you told me to close my eyes, how could I use the hammer technique you just had?" ”

Linus's thick eyebrows raised upwards and asked, "Didn't my movements appear in your mind when you closed your eyes?" ”

"Brother Lin, isn't that my fantasy?" Xiu Zhe scratched his head with some confusion and asked timidly.

Linus was so excited that goosebumps rose all over his body, genius! What a genius!

"That's not it, come over here, and gradually unfold the image that appears in your mind!"

Seeing Linus rubbing his hands and looking excited, Xiu Zhe had to come to the casting table head-on, he still couldn't believe that the picture in his mind was real.

Glancing at Linnas, who seemed to be impatient, Xiuzhe secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly raised his right arm, took a deep breath, and imitated Linnas's movements in his mind.

Xiu Zhe's movements were very jerky at first, but when his movements became faster and faster, his movements were no longer stiff and ugly, but instead had a feeling of flowing water.

When the action of the second hundredth hammer was cast, the ghost binding on Xiu Zhe's right arm actually began to hum, and a trace of mist gushed out from the iron chain.

"Stop!" Linus hurriedly stopped Xiu Zhe's movements, what he wanted to confirm had been confirmed, and it would be too much of a burden for him to be ten years old if he let Xiu Zhe continue to do so. When he was ten years old, let alone using the forging technique empty-handed to reach the second hundredth hammer, he couldn't even wield fifty hammers.

Xiu Zhe couldn't bear it at this time, and he sat on the ground panting heavily, and his right arm was trembling to the point that his whole body was shaking together.

Linnas glanced at the ghost god binding on Xiu Zhe's right arm, if there was no power bound by this thing, I am afraid that this child would bring him a bigger surprise, but he is not a reckless man, it is too risky to lift the ghost and god binding to stimulate Xiu Zhe's full potential, and no one knows what terrifying things will happen. Linus suppressed the excitement in his heart and said slowly:

"When I cast the forge, you saw that the figure behind me was not an illusion, but a ghost possessed by me."

"Ghosts?" Xiu Zhe gasped and looked at Linus's arm, in his cognition, those who were chosen by the ghosts and gods would have blood-red ghost hands, but Linnas's arms had nothing other to attract attention except for their thickness.

Linus carefully explained: "Only the humans chosen by Kazan will cause their dominant hands to turn red and mutate, so the ghost hands are called Kazan syndrome, and some ghosts and gods possessed by the human body will not have special changes, for example, the ghosts and gods possessed by me will only bring me blessings in forging." According to legend, some ghosts and gods can bring reinforcements to humans in several dimensions, but these things are secrets that the royal family does not pass down. That's why I sent you to the Imperial Sword Academy, and you'll need to explore all these secrets yourself. ”

Saying that, Linus stretched out his hand to Xiu Zhe who was sitting on the ground, "Thank you, Brother Lin." Xiu Zhe raised his right hand and grabbed Linus's big thick hand and stood up.

During these eighteen days of leisure, as long as Linus began to forge weapons, Xiu Zhe watched in his blacksmith shop, but what made Xiu Zhe a little puzzled was that when he closed his eyes, he could no longer enter that kind of mysterious realm, it seemed that this was an opportunity that could not be replicated.

Linus didn't explain the secret of the Heart Eye to Xiu Zhe in detail, he didn't know anything about this particular ability, even though he knew that there was an elderly swordsman who had the Heart Eye and could use it all the time, but it was a disabled person who was blind in both eyes...

When Xiu Zhe knew these stories, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, could it be that he had to poke his eyes blind when cultivating his heart? As soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by Xiu Zhe, if it was really that simple, then a large group of people would have poked their eyes blind.

Eighteen days passed in a flash, and the day to report for duty finally came in Xiu Zhe's anticipation.

"Zhe'er, when you arrive at the college, you must obediently listen to the teacher, you can't be naughty, and you can't bully your classmates." Xiu Xiangxue instructed while arranging Xiu Zhe's clothes.

Linus plucked his ears on the side, Xiu Xiangxue has been instructing Xiu Zhe since breakfast, and she is still nagging until Xiu Zhe is dressed, this looks like her mother told her in every way when she was going to travel to the mainland.

"Okay, mother, you've said this eight times." Xiu Zhe sighed helplessly and said.

Xiu Xiangxue was slightly stunned and scolded with a smile: "You kid.." Saying that, Xiu Xiangxue took out a copper card and stuffed it into Xiu Zhe's pocket and said: "This card must not be lost, there are five gold coins in it, you are now the time to grow your body, can you be wronged in terms of eating, do you know?" ”

Xiu Zhe's heart trembled slightly, although these five gold coins may only be a month's or even a week's pocket money for those noble children, he knew that this was the money left by Xiu Xiangxue in the past ten years of frugality.

Nodding solemnly, Xiu Zhe put away the copper card, walked out of the hut with Linus, and got into the carriage.

Xiu Zhe's thin body stopped in front of the carriage door, "Mother, I will definitely become a swordsman who shocks the continent, and I will find a lot of servants to serve you when the time comes!" Xiu Zhe seemed to have some mist in his eyes, and said with his back to Xiu Xiangxue, but his immature voice was full of determination.

Saying that, Xiu Zhe got into the carriage and closed the door, "Drive!" The groom held the reins in one hand, and whipped the horse's buttocks with the other, watching the carriage gradually disappear from view, the smile on Xiu Xiangxue's face gradually disappeared, and there was a little more loneliness in her eyes, but she soon reined in her emotions, picked up a basket of miscellaneous grains, and walked to the chicken pen.

In the somewhat bumpy carriage, Linus handed the sword with the scabbard in his hand to Xiu Zhe, "Thank you, Brother Lin. Xiu Zhe took the knife with both hands and said.
