After bidding farewell to Dean Will, Ivan went back to his dorm room to sleep, and the next morning he asked Amanda about the video of the admission course. Although Amanda was curious about Ivan's leave, her attention was quickly attracted by the strange magic tools, and Ivan taught Amanda how to use it, and he actually learned it in one go.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, I will also take notes on what the teacher says, and the college will issue a special notebook for taking notes. Although the paper is not very good, there are enough of them. Amanda raised the notebook in her hand and said that she was ready to do both.

"Dean Will seems to be a cunning and miserly old man, but he is still a person who has always thought about the academy in his heart, and he didn't expect his original idea to be realized so quickly. Ivan secretly admired Dean Will's personality in his heart.

Once the affairs of the academy were arranged, Ivan packed his things and went straight to the blacksmith's shop, which might take a while. Iron striking is a thing that practice makes perfect, and Ivan, who can't even fish for three days and dry nets for two days, can only reach the current level, in order to put an end to this matter, Ivan decided not to master the academy!

"Yo, it seems that you decided to take a leave of absence to hit Baijian this Monday, I thought you would wait until the end of the season to come back, after all, no matter how you think about it, your studies are important. But since you're here, I'm still very happy, forget about your academy, the more focused you are, the faster you will succeed. ”

Master Sino is forging a huge handful

Iron sword, when he saw Ivan coming, he did not stop the hammer in his hand while speaking. For ordinary blacksmiths, distraction is an extremely taboo thing, but Master Sino has been beating iron for half his life, and it is already enough to close his eyes.

"Master, why is this sword you made so huge, what is the length of most of a person, the width of a shield?" Ivan was very curious about the reason. The warriors of this world are no better than in the anime of the previous life, a Lori can easily wield an exaggerated sword, and a strong man is even more handy. A warrior's combat power is reflected in speed, strength, and skill, and an overly exaggerated broadsword is not suitable for most people. The Heavy Swordman is a very rare type of warrior.

"Oh, this is a young man who asked for a special one, just as a workout tool, and he also made a custom suit of armor, which is also extremely heavy. It's the first time I've seen a good young man who can exercise with such a set of equipment. The old blacksmith is also full of praise when it comes to the young people who customize the equipment.

"Is this the style of a heavy swordsman? a heavy swordsman is very rare, and you say that he is a young man, which really makes me curious. ”

Heavy swordsmen are very rare, and this requires a strong talent - innate divine power, which is not great strength, but unusually great. Heavy swordsmen generally appear in the army, and it is really a human tank. As for fighting alone or hunting monsters, it's really not good.

"He'll come and get it after a while, and you'll know when you see it, so concentrate on your own business. I'll prepare a special room for you, where there is another set of stoves, no one disturbs you, and you can concentrate on breaking through. Meals will be delivered to you, and the iron you made is just what I use to make armor. "The old blacksmith has finished his heavy sword and arranged Ivan's affairs.

"It seems like it's been a really challenging process. "Ivan came to the independent hut that the master said, in addition to the stove and blacksmithing utensils, there was only a simple bunk, which was really an excellent place for retreat and cultivation.

Ivan did not immediately start striking iron, but followed the routine in many online articles - to meditate and meditate on the breakthrough line. Easy to say, Ivan sat for a long time before he cleared the distractions in his mind. It's really half a day!

Now that the state has been adjusted, Ivan picked up the hammer and began the long road of forging iron. In addition, the charcoal pulls up the bellows, and the crude iron ingots are put into the furnace fire, and the subtle changes of the iron ingots are perceived. Ordinary people can only see it according to their eyes, and it often takes a lot of time to accumulate experience to control the heat properly. Ivan's mental power is relatively strong, and he can use it slightly to help observe.

"I remember there was a method called the control method, which might speed up my mastery of the heat. However, different iron ingots have different requirements for the heat temperature, and the heat required after each forging should also be different, and the amount of impurities in the iron ingot is related. Ivan pondered the use of his past life experience.

Take out a number of iron ingots, look at their fineness one by one, and find that the difference is not large, which is good news, as long as you make a slight adjustment. Ivan began to forge iron according to his previous experience, forging it over and over again, and estimating the effect of the forging after each forging. Hundred forges are not really forged a hundred times, and after Ivan has forged more than forty times in the past, the follow-up forgings will be ineffective.

Forging is hard work, and it takes a lot of time to conduct controlled experiments, but Ivan believes that this should be the fastest method, and it can't be compared to a reasonable method based on feeling alone. Except, of course, iniquity.

Ivan devoted himself to the great cause of forging. When I was hungry and had a prepared meal, I sat on the floor and rested for a while when I was really tired, and there was a thatched house next door. It can be said that apart from the need for survival, there is nothing other than iron.

"The initial forging should not be too violent, the temperature should not be too high, the iron ingot has more impurities, and the fire is in seven. ”

"The subsequent forging heat gradually increases, and within ten times is the process of removing most of the impurities, which should be gradually controlled from seven to eight. ”

"Most of the impurities have been removed, and the iron ingot has become compact and solid, which is why it is necessary to increase the heat and control it to nine, until the impurities in the iron ingot tend to be free. ”

"Finally, if the impurities are close to no, you can melt and cast ten percent of the fire, and if you don't add casting, stop adding fire at the moment of melting, and gradually cool down with iron ingots. ”

After many experiments, Ivan discovered the degree of control of the heat, and these standards were set by Ivan himself. Although there are some similarities, Ivan can be sure that the steel of this previous life is not the same thing, and it is the same thing to describe it in one word.

There are no years in retreat, and time always passes quickly to concentrate on something. Ivan felt the subtle changes in the iron ingot in the hammer again and again, and then summed up the most appropriate degree. Ordinary people rely on experience, geniuses rely on feelings, and Ivan relies on calculations and comparisons.

Forge is a dead thing, and if there was an intelligent computer, Ivan would probably be able to calculate every detail and accuracy of the forging. It's not a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, it's something that can be specific to the point of precision.

When he arrived here, Ivan suddenly felt enlightened, and there was no understanding but not words, that is, the definition was not standard enough, and the language was not rich enough. Ivan wondered if magic would be like this, and if it was, it would be too boring, it would be just another science.

Mortal iron is not a magical material, and therefore cannot be used as a basis for inference. Ivan retracted the idea of flying, the heat had been mastered, and the degree of forging was also roughly estimated, and finally he summed up a set of his own forging methods according to his own situation.

The key to forging is actually strength and rhythm, because everyone is different, so you need to adjust it according to yourself. The stiff teacher is the slowest and dumbest method, and that is just to get into the rhythm of others through a long period of time.

Although Ivan had never struck iron in his previous life, Ivan definitely wouldn't feel anything about struck iron. But today's situation is very different, and when Ivan goes down with a hammer, Ivan knows that he has succeeded. It was a very special feeling, and he had outstanding mental strength to perceive it very clearly, no wonder the master would say that he would know what the success of a hundred forgings was.

After the iron ingot cooled down, regardless of the residual heat that was still a little hot, Ivan stroked the beaten iron ingot. The iron ingot is dense and smooth, dark and somewhat reflective, hard and tough. This is fine iron, and Ivan finally succeeded!

Ecstatically holding the fine iron block and wanting to share the joy of success with the master, but before he could take two steps, Ivan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was carried to the ground. After nearly twenty days of hard work, Ivan finally fainted from overwork.

......

"Hey, Ivan, this kid, although it is a good thing to concentrate on hard work, but you also have to consider the actual situation! He is not yet fifteen years old, and he is in such a hurry, and his body will not be able to stand it. The old blacksmith was so worried that he tried to interrupt Ivan's retreat many times. But the old blacksmith touched the ingot in his hand, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"It should be about to succeed, it's a pity to interrupt at this time, it's a dilemma! But it really can't go on like this, it's not a good thing to work too hard, let's talk to him today, I hope he can see it." ”

The old blacksmith finally made up his mind, and there will be opportunities in the future, and if he is tired, his body will not be worth the loss. Picking up the prepared food, the old blacksmith walked towards Ivan's house, which he had specially prepared, and the quantity seemed to be small, but in fact it was extremely rich.

"Smack!" the old blacksmith's meal fell to the ground. "Boy, how are you, wake up!" the old blacksmith was a little alarmed, and reached out to test Ivan's snort, before he breathed a sigh of relief. I should be tired, just get a good night's sleep.

The old blacksmith picked up Ivan, "Dang!" One thing fell to the ground, the old blacksmith picked it up and looked at it, a pair of old eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, a little distressed but more relieved. accepted a good apprentice, and his own craftsmanship can be regarded as a successor.

"How's the armor and weapons I made, uncle?" a deep voice came, and a stout young man walked in a moment.

"It's you, it's already finished, and there's just a heart shield left, if you're not in a hurry, just wait a minute, I'll place my apprentice." ”

"This is your apprentice, it looks like he's in shock, just cultivate well, and at the same time replenish your body, I have some tonic medicine for cultivation on weekdays, you should respond to emergencies first." The young man took out a packet of medicine and placed it in front of the old blacksmith, "Just boil it and take it." ”

"What's so embarrassing?" said the old blacksmith had the heart to take it, but it didn't make sense. Tonic medicines are more expensive.

"It's okay, I saw my armor and weapons, and the payment I paid you is obviously sorry for your craftsmanship, so I should make amends. ”

The old blacksmith didn't refuse, "It's a coincidence, the iron used in your armor is the product of my apprentice's practice of forging. It's much better than ordinary iron, especially this piece of fine iron, which is ready to build a heart goggle. ”

"That's really my luck, the medicinal herbs should be used by your apprentice. He's a genius apprentice, I don't know what his name is?"

"His name is Ivan. ”
