The next day, Lu Cheng took a turn in the territory, which had become his habit, the number of citizens in the territory was close to 5,500, and the lost militia was quickly replenished, and the total strength was increased to 900 people, of which 100 will be trained as archers.

When I went to the blacksmith shop, the newcomer Ian and Shamo were communicating, and they didn't see Red Flame.

"Good morning, Ian and Shamer." Lu Cheng walked into the house, they didn't notice, it seemed that the communication was quite serious.

"Ah, good morning, my lord." The kobold Shamer reacted immediately and hurriedly saluted.

"Good morning, my lord." Ian also stroked his chest and saluted.

"I saw that you guys were very engaged in the discussion just now, what are you talking about?" Lu Cheng found a chair and sat down and asked.

"Lord Lord, just now we were discussing the skills of making dwarven steel swords, and Mr. Shamer's level is quite high, and I have also been taught." Ian replied.

"Don't dare to be, I also learned from Lord Chiyan, and Mr. Ian's level is much higher than mine, I still need to ask for more advice." Shamer hurriedly waved his hand in denial.

"I don't know when Lord Chiyan will come over, I'd love to meet her." Ian asked.

"Lord Chiyan will come every day, and the time will be up in a while." Shamo apparently knew more about Red Flame's schedule.

"Yo, who wants to see me?"

At this moment, the voice of Red Flame came from outside the door.

"Ah, early Chiyan-sama, Lord Lord and his new companion Ian are waiting for you." Shamer immediately ran to the door to greet Chiyan, and more than a dozen deputies who were doing chores in the blacksmith shop also saluted Chiyan, more enthusiastic than welcoming the lord.

"Oh, the new companion?" Red Flame wondered.

"Let me introduce you, this is a new companion, expert blacksmith Ian." Lu Cheng introduced, "Ian, this young lady is the Miss Chiyan you've always wanted to know. ”

"I've seen Lord Red Flame." Ian still stroked his chest.

"Well, hello Mr. Ian." Red Flame looked at Ian, "If I'm not mistaken, you're still a warrior, right?" ”

"Lord Chiyan's eyes are like torches, I am a level 2 warrior, I am good at using a hammer, and this Ugin hammer is my tool and weapon." Ian nodded, then asked, "Dare to ask if Lord Chiyan is an epic blacksmith, and where does the teacher come from?" ”

"Hehe, of course Miss Ben is an epic blacksmith, and as for the master, I taught myself." Chi Yan was a little uncomfortable, after all, it was a bit of a disappointment to be asked in person.

"I heard Mr. Shamer say that your shot is a perfect-grade dwarven steel sword? If so, at least at the grandmaster-level. Ian continued.

"There's still a bit of knowledge, I don't know what your level is, just now the lord said that you are an expert, why don't you show me?" Red Flame said.

"Okay, as you wish." Without saying a word, Ian walked directly to the forge and began the forging work skillfully.

Of course, Lu Cheng knew that Ian was a genuine expert-level blacksmith, after all, how could the system certification be fake, but at this time, he should take a look at the excitement and learn about the abilities of blacksmiths of all levels by the way.

Ian's previous operation was quite normal, but when he put the steel ingots, Lu Cheng saw that Ian took 50 stainless steel ingots and put them into the furnace.

"Oh, I'm going to show off the goose forging technique." Chiyan was a little interested, after all, for her, expert-level forging skills were just like that, and only this special forging technique could attract her.

"What is the Goose Forging Technique?" Lu Cheng asked curiously.

"To put it simply, it is to forge multiple weapons at the same time, but because the more the number of forging at the same time, it is easy to lead to a decline in the quality of forging, and the expert level can generally forge a high-quality dwarven steel sword, but if you use the goose forging technique, it is likely that they are all ordinary-level, and even inferior ones are possible." Red Flame explained.

"However, it seems that he is still very confident, and he is forging 3 weapons at the same time, tsk, I haven't tried that when I was at his level." Red Flame continued to explain.

"Is the Goose Forging Technique difficult?" Lu Cheng asked.

"It depends on the level and experience, if it is advanced, well, Shamer's level, it is estimated that 2 forging at the same time may be inferior, or even scrapped directly, and Ian's expert level, generally speaking, at least 1 out of 3 is inferior." Red Flame replied, "But since he dares to show it to us, it shouldn't disappoint." ”

Ian was engrossed in forging, ignoring the conversation between Chiyan and Lu Cheng, and after a while, the steel ingot was completely melted, Ian took 3 sword molds, poured the molten steel into the sword mold in turn, and after the molten steel cooled and solidified, he took his Ugin hammer and beat it ping-pong, the Ugin hammer was obviously much heavier than the standard hammer of the blacksmith shop, and the huge force smashed on the forging table made the entire blacksmith shop shake.

The first sword was quickly formed, Ian took the second sword and continued to hammer and forge, and after a few minutes the second sword was formed, then the third, and the third was obviously too cold, Ian frowned, put the third sword into the furnace and heated it for a while, and then took it out for forging, all the processes behind it were like this, but even Lu Cheng could see that every time the third sword came to a little unsatisfactory.

Dozens of minutes later, Ian had completed all the forging processes, and three freshly baked dwarven steel swords were lined up on the table.

Lu Cheng picked up the first one to check, high-quality level, then the second one, still high-quality level, and then the last one was ordinary level.

"Yes, the expert level can use the Wild Goose Forging Technique to forge 3 at the same time, and 2 of them are still high-quality, and your level is also the top in the expert level." Red Flame commented after checking it.

"It's over." Ian was a little proud, after all, he had been training since he was a senior in this hand goose forging technique, and now he can be regarded as a successful learner, and there are indeed not many people in the circle of the same level who can compete with him.

"Coincidentally, I also know how to forge geese, and I happen to be interested in this today, so let's show you too." Red Flame looked at the Ugin hammer in Ian's hand, "Ian, lend me your hammer, lord, you remember to find me some tools to take advantage of." ”

Taking the hammer handed by Ian, Chi Yan checked it and said with satisfaction: "This weight is okay, it's much more comfortable to hold than the small hammer here." ”

Red Flame walked to the forging furnace, and his momentum changed in vain and quickly entered the state.

Expertly tidying up the forging area, Red Flame took a huge furnace with a capacity several times larger than the one Ian had just used.

More than a hundred ingots were thrown into the furnace in one go, and assistants and apprentices desperately pulled bellows to increase their firepower.

"The essence of the wild goose forging technique is fast and accurate, just now you need to use 5 more steel ingots to forge 3 swords, which means that you are still lacking in accuracy." Red Flame said.

The blazing furnace quickly melted the ingots, and Red Flame lifted the huge furnace and poured the ingots into the eight sword molds lined up in a row, and the furnace was at the bottom when the last sword mold was filled with red-hot molten steel, and the amount of control was exactly right.

"When forging, you should pay attention to fast, you spend too much time forging the first 2 swords, so when you get to the third hand, you often need to heat it again, and repeated heating for many times wastes time, not to mention, it also makes the sword body mixed with a lot of impurities."

Red Flame wielded the Ugin Hammer, pounding on the sword like raindrops, it only took a few tens of seconds for the first sword to take shape, and then it was thrown by Red Flame on the furnace fire to continue heating, followed by the second one, and so on 8 swords After beating it again, Red Flame beat it again from the first one, after 2 rounds, all 8 were formed, and then it was quenching and tempering, Red Flame forged all 8 swords in one go, and when the assembly was completed, it only took about 1 hour.

Lu Cheng looked at the 8 swords on the table, and he was excited, the 8 swords were forged in less than 1 hour, even if they were all ordinary level, they were twice as efficient as before.

Look at them in turn.

Perfect, perfect, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, premium, premium.

Groove, 2 perfect, 4 excellent, 2 high-quality, and this efficiency is not too high! The speed of an average of 7 minutes is a handful! Assembly line production is nothing more than that!

Ian and Shamer were also dumbfounded.

"Master Chiyan, your strength is unfathomable, if you don't dislike it, I want to worship you as a teacher." Ian finally came back to his senses and immediately wanted to study and apprentice.

"It's not impossible to accept you for the sake of territorial development, but according to the rules, you are now the second apprentice, and Sha Mo is the eldest apprentice, you have to call him senior brother." Red Flame said slyly.

Ian was stunned, but this guy was also very good-looking, and immediately nodded: "Yes, master, I've seen Senior Brother Shamer." ”

At this time, Sha Mo was embarrassed to death, but fortunately, the kobold's expression was not rich, and he wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw Chiyan's eyes, he had to swallow the words back from his mouth: "Uh... Hello junior brother. ”

"Hahahaha." Lu Cheng couldn't help laughing anymore, Chiyan was really bad.

Ian and Shamer looked at each other, the former blushing and the latter embarrassed.

"Lord, what are you laughing at, this is the rule on my side." Red Flame crossed his waist and said unceremoniously.

"Ahem, no, it's okay..."Lu Cheng barely held back a laugh, "That red flame, the goose forging technique you just now is very powerful, can you use this method to forge weapons and equipment in large quantities, you see that the expansion of soldiers and trade income in the territory are very urgent now." ”

"Hmph, although the Goose Forging Technique can make weapons in large quantities, the quality of the forging will decrease."

"Ah, it's okay, ordinary ones are fine." Lu Cheng's hanging in the auction house is all ordinary quality, and all the high-quality ones are equipped with militia, so even the ordinary-level dwarven steel sword is a big profit.

"It's a shame to be an epic blacksmith forging excellence-level, and you still want me to do a lower-level one?" Chiyan is very unhappy, if a high-level blacksmith makes a lot of low-end goods, she will be ridiculed by others, and she can't afford to lose face.

"Expediency, the territory is in urgent need of a lot of money now, which is also a last resort, and if you want to form a larger army, you will definitely need more money to invest." Lu Cheng explained.

"That's not going to work, it's embarrassing for me, but I can teach the training techniques of the Goose Forging to my apprentices, well, including these apprentices." Red Flame is still unwilling to surrender his identity.

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's okay, by the way, Chiyan, I have a request for your help." ”

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Cheng didn't force her to do something embarrassing: "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, I want to build a few perfect sets for sale, and I want you to help forge them." Lu Cheng rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed.

"Perfect-grade suit?" Chi Yan was stunned, "Because the armor is inlaid with steel sheets, the production is mainly made by the garment workshop, and they can produce perfect-grade armor?" ”

"That's not it, except for armor and combat boots, other parts are produced by the blacksmith shop, so as long as the blacksmith shop produces perfection grade, as long as the combat boots and armor are high-quality grade." Lu Cheng explained that because the highest among the tailors is only intermediate, the possibility of producing high-quality grades is not high, so it is really not possible to accept ordinary ones.

"Alas, forget it, I'll make you perfect-level armor and combat boots, lest you die ugly and be embarrassed and thrown home." Red Flame shook his hand impatiently.

"Ah, you agreed, hah, uh... Wait, Perfect Armor and Combat Boots? Aren't you a blacksmith? How can you do the tailor's thing? Lu Cheng thought he had misheard.

"Why, you can't work part-time!"

"Wait, Red Flame, what level of tailor are you? Perfect-grade armor and combat boots! ”

"A tailor is a little worse than a blacksmith, just a grandmaster."

"it!"
