While Rhodes was engrossed in the forging, outside the shop, a relatively burly old dwarf in brown leather armor was swaying towards the bearded blacksmith's shop.

The old dwarf had a typical dwarven silhouette, his pale brown skin was rough by the fire all the year round, he was full of wine, and his rich and well-groomed beard stood out.

He walked with his hands behind his back, taking figure-eight steps, and looked domineering when he walked, but with that height, he had a sense of comic.

Walking into the store, he found that it was surprisingly quiet.

Roughly grabbed a passing dwarf apprentice, glared, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, what's the matter? What about the people in the store? Why can't I hear the steel colliding? ”

"Elder Barend," the apprentice who had been suddenly caught in anger smiled wryly at the sight of the old dwarf.

"Hmph, what about the people in the store?" Barende snorted.

“…… There's a strange human in that shop, and all the masters have gone to see that human being striking iron," the apprentice smiled all over his face, the elder in front of him was not very good-tempered, and if he wanted to make him dissatisfied, he would be whipped again.

"Watch humans strike iron?!"

Barende's eyes were round, his beard was about to stand up, and he said in a deep voice, "I thought I was too lazy to drink!" A bunch of uninformed! Our great dwarves still have to watch others strike iron! ”

Rolling up his sleeves, Barende pulled the apprentice up and said, "Where are they?" See if I don't smoke these shameful guys. ”

“…… That, in furnace number three," the apprentice was sweating profusely.

Leaving the apprentice aside, Barend angrily headed towards the Third Furnace, as a dwarven elder, Barend has always been committed to maintaining the glory of the dwarven clan, and he has never admitted that humans are more skilled at striking iron than their dwarves for his proud forging skills.

Even if there were, it must be that the dwarves didn't bother to learn the great skills of the dwarves!

Approaching the third furnace, Barend saw a group of dwarven blacksmiths who were usually swaggering, carefully holding their breath and watching around the furnace.

That honest appearance made Barende's eyelids twitch.

"See if I don't smoke you guys to death! Usually when the old man is teaching, why don't I see you so attentive! The more Barende thought about it, the angrier he became.

He walked over angrily.

Approaching the Rear ......

Bite! Bite! Multiply!

Hearing the marvelous percussive melody, Barende himself couldn't help but slow down.

What kind of person is Barende, the dignified dwarf elder, in terms of forging skills, he can already be regarded as a master who has entered the hall, once he enters the legendary realm, over time, he will definitely become a generation of forging masters.

"This rhythm ...... It's kind of interesting," he paused to listen for a moment, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Just by the sound, Barende could hear that the man inside was very sophisticated in the strength of the blow and the judgment of the position of the material when forging, as well as the wonderful rhythm, which was more pulsating than the boring forging skills of the dwarves.

It's like a heavy metal rock rhythm that makes the eyes of those who hear it at first glance.

Suddenly, there was a commotion inside.

The usually grumpy dwarven blacksmith was talking about it, and Barend was indulging in the rhythmic metal collision music, and his brow furrowed when it was suddenly interrupted.

"This kind of sword!"

“…… What a wonderful forging technique, amazing design! ”

“…………”

Hearing the exclamations coming from the mouths of the dwarves who usually stinky to death, Barende also began to be a little curious.

"Get out of the way of the old man!"

He quickly ran forward, pushed away the dwarves blocking outside, and squeezed in very roughly.

"Who!" As soon as the disgruntled dwarves saw Barende's face, they immediately closed their mouths, daring to be angry.

…………

Next to the No. 3 furnace.

Rhodes was holding a freshly baked sword in his hand.

The shape of the sword was very strange, a little shorter than a normal short sword, and a little longer than the dagger, and the dark sword body still exuded residual heat, and the blade was very light.

Multiply!

Rod plunged the swarthy sword into the water, and with a burst of mist, the sword was slowly pulled out by Rhodes.

Sonor!

When the sword completely faded from the water, the true face was revealed in front of everyone, causing a burst of exclamation!

After the dark sword body was cooled by cold water, the jet-black sword body revealed a little silver-gray metallic luster, and with the shape of the killing weapon, it made the eyes of many dwarves shine.

And the cold blade flickered with a cold glow, and a faint light swept through, making the temperature next to the furnace drop by a few points!

- Cicada Wing Short Sword!

This is the fruit of Rhodes's labor, as thin as a cicada's wings, the slender and beautiful blade is full of killing beauty, and the small and light blade seems to be fragile, but in fact it is as sharp as clay.

—————

"Ding! You have successfully completed an excellent forge, with 100% proficiency in blacksmithing, and have successfully advanced to LV2, comprehending [Dark Forge Technique], [Precision Forging], and [Primary Maintenance]. ”

A piece of data appeared in front of Rod's eyes, and after completing a forging with great difficulty, he successfully advanced to level 2 in the forging technique.

Blacksmithing is like that.

Regardless of the East and the West, this skill is easy to improve in the front, and the more difficult it is to improve in the back, now Rhodes can advance by creating a cicada-wing short sword, and even if he uses secret methods to forge ten swords, he may not be able to increase by 5%.

"Sure enough, the [Dark Forge Technique] was activated," Rhodes glanced at a skill hint and was not surprised at all.

Dark Forging Technique, which is a forging technique of a secret dojo in the East, is mainly used for the secret production of low-level weapons, and can generally give weapons and armor some secret attribute effects.

Just now, Rhodes forcibly used a technique to trigger the effect of [Dark Forge Technique], adding a dark attribute attack effect to the Cicada Wing Short Sword.

And he was lucky, and finally triggered a legendary passive of [Drawing Basic Mastery], and finally improved its quality, in fact, this sword should be of green quality according to the material.

Sonor!

Rod held this small short sword and pulled out a sword flower in his hand, a little cold came first, and then the sword came out like the wind, and the small cicada wing short sword flew up and down in Rode's hand, beautiful and full of danger!

…………

"What a killing weapon!" Barende happened to see the scene of Rhodes using the sword, and couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at Rod.

Shirtless, Rod's beautiful bronze muscles are very in line with the aesthetics of the dwarf, and the cicada-winged short sword in his hand must be a fine product in the eyes of connoisseurs.

"Human boy, what was that forging technique you just called?" Barende asked.

Barende does have the stubbornness and pride of a dwarf, but as a master blacksmith, he also has the ingenuity of a craftsman, and he still maintains the most sincere respect for the wonderful blacksmithing skills.

"Silent Forging Technique, a type of Eastern Forging Technique," Rhodes turned to glance at Barend, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knew the dwarf!

[Steel Burner] - Barend!

This is a legendary forger of the Dwarven Clan of Stormwind City in the future, and many players in the Shadow Realm are employed in the forger profession with him.

"Ancient Oriental Forging Techniques?" Barende's eyes lit up.

He rubbed his hands a little shyly and asked embarrassedly, "Is your sword ...... Stay here and let us see? ”

After saying that, he felt embarrassed himself.

After all, dwarves have always been known for forging, and to let him pull down his face to study other people's forging skills is really to slap the dwarves in the face, and more importantly, this kind of forging technique is generally very precious, who would be so generous to people to study.

Rod glanced at Barende in some surprise.

The Steelburner, in addition to his amazing forging skills, is best known for the old dwarf's stubborn and irascible temper.

Still, he had some doubts.

One of the legendary forging techniques, the [Burning Steel Forging Technique], is one of the most powerful forging techniques in the Shadow Domain!

And the [Silent Forging Technique] is not good, as the rules of the Ash World Plane fluctuate in the future, more and more legendary grandmasters have studied the secret forging after the blacksmithing, this kind of forging technique is not to mention rotten streets, at least it is also a very common kind.

"Wait...... Right now, [Steel Burner] does not have an advanced legend, which means that he has not yet researched the secret forging technique...... And now Ash's rules are not fluctuating much, and the secret weapon is not rotten yet?! ”

Rhodes looked Barend up and down, and found that he didn't have legendary fluctuations, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

His eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking, but he looked at Barend more and more strangely, as if he had seen a fat sheep.

Secret weapons!

Secret weapons are often produced by enchantment in the later stage, this weapon is not only costly, but also has very low growth, and the growth of weapons is basically limited after enchantment, and now in the world of Ash, although the number of secret weapons is not small, but the overall is not much.

However, as time went on.

One genius forger after another rose up, and they began to study the innate secret forging technique.

For example, the [Silent Forging Technique] directly uses special techniques and techniques to create secret weapons, which not only reduces the cost, but also strengthens the growth of the weapon.

This is how many [Secret Sets] are created.

A top-of-the-line secret set seems to be on par with high-end equipment excavated from ancient ruins.

Looking at Rod's flickering eyes, Barende thought that he was unwilling, and he was bent on studying the new forging technique, and said eagerly: "Don't let you suffer in vain, the dwarves of Stormwind City will always be your friends in the future!" And you can take away the weapons here as long as you can see them......"

Just as Barend was still making promises, Rhodes interrupted him.

"Wait!"

Rhodes looked at this old dwarf full of craftsmanship, groaned, and said, "I can't give you this sword, otherwise my sister will lose her temper again." But I can show you this forging technique again! ”

"By the way, you can bring your own materials!" The shy Rhodes hurriedly added.

"No problem! No problem! ”

The dwarves were overjoyed, for them the pursuit of a new forging technique was more important than anything else, and in the values of the dwarven race, it was a great honor to create a powerful weapon.
