Chapter 32 The Craft of Forging

-Hutton-Marr outskirts-

It's been a few days since Long Ming came back from the foothills of Mount Luolan, and now Long Ming is staying by Xinda's house and watching Xinda busy in front of the forge furnace, what Xinda is forging now is Long Ming's sword! Sinda had promised to forge a new weapon for Long Ming, but a few days had passed, and there was no sign of Sinda stopping, yes! Xinda has been building for Long Ming like this for a few days, except for the basic eating, drinking, and Lazar, he has not seen him rest at all, even the basic sleep is only a short hour or two, if you really can't stand it, squint your eyes slightly or drink a little refreshing spirits, when Long Ming rests at night, you can still hear the sound of "clanging" from outside the forge, and you can see the bright red fire outside through the window.

I don't know when the weather has become gloomy, a few days ago it was still clear and cloudless, and when Long Ming got up, he found that the sky had completely changed its face, the dark and heavy thunderclouds were surging, and as time passed, it was still intensifying, and Long Ming could vaguely see the electric light changes in the clouds. But even so, Sinda didn't stop, not worrying about the sudden change in weather affecting his forging. Long Ming looked at Xinda and couldn't help but think of the situation when he first returned.

Xinda has been in a very good mood for the past two days, because there can actually be a silly boy who can risk his danger to help him get the "Qingying Spring" that is famous in the forging world! This spring can only be found at the top of a high cliff, and there are not many places on the continent of Arad where this spring is produced, because it is at the highest point, it is often bathed in the best sunlight, and because it is still nourished by the cold air at the highest peak. Having been cultivated over many years in these two yang and yin environments, this clear spring can bring out the greatest potential of the weapon when it is quenched, on the premise of protecting the weapon to the greatest extent.

As far as Xinda knows, there is only one place where Qingying Spring exists, but as the name suggests, this place is guarded by many eagle monsters, so it is extremely dangerous, not accessible to ordinary people, and I heard that those eagle monsters still need to let alone cross these eagle monsters to get the Qingying Spring. So Sinda had to keep dying of these clear springs and couldn't do anything.

Long Ming's arrival this time is undoubtedly a blessing for Sinda, because Xinda had planned to ask some mercenaries to help him get this Qingying Spring, but he was worried that the mercenaries would leak the secret of Qingying Spring.

But Long Ming is different, first of all, he was introduced by the old guy from GSD, GSD already knew the secret of Qingying Spring before, because Xinda had also asked him to help, but the arrogant GSD did not agree to Xinda, since he recommended Long Ming to find Xinda to forge weapons, it shows that GSD has full trust in Long Ming! Although I don't know what the reason is, I can still trust Long Ming with the credibility of GSD. Secondly, when Xinda saw Long Ming, she had a wishful thinking, why? Because Xinda looked at Long Ming's eyes with clarity, he was not at all like those mercenaries who always exposed the cunning in his heart! The most important thing is that after Xinda and Long Ming talked, they knew that Long Ming was a scheming teenager. Based on these reasons, Xinda was relieved to let Long Ming go and help him get Qingying Spring!

But the strange thing is that Sinda's right eyelid has been beating non-stop for the past two days, as if it is a sign of something, but Sinda does not pay attention to it at all, and is still immersed in the fantasy of getting the clear spring.

But Xinda didn't expect Long Ming to come back in just two days, and when he was lying on a chair basking in the sun, he suddenly saw a figure appear on the path ahead, and he didn't know that it was Long Ming until he looked at it.

In addition to Xinda's amazement that Long Ming came back so quickly, he also wondered if Long Ming had failed and escaped back, and this speculation may also be true, because he himself knew how many eagle monsters there were in Eagle Waterfall Cliff. And the Long Ming he saw was now in a mess, his clothes all over his body had become tattered and full of bloodstains, and from his body, he could also see the small wounds that had stopped bleeding, and there were still blood stains on the wounds that had not been cleaned up.

What amazed Sinda the most was what Long Ming was holding in his hand, which was the knife that Sinda lent to Long Ming. Now the sword is only half cut off, and there are slowly some notches and curly blades on it.

Xinda immediately ran over, grabbed Long Ming's arm with tears in her eyes and said in a crying voice, "This ...... This...... What's going on? How did you get to this? I love knives! Xinda just said to the Taidao in Long Ming's hand, and those who didn't know thought that he was caring about Long Ming.

"......" Long Ming gasped, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face was in extreme pain, and he almost screamed.

Xinda looked at him, as if she realized something, and touched his arm up and down, only to realize that Long Ming's arm had been seriously dislocated.

The injuries on Long Ming's body can already be said to be minor, after all, jumping from a height of several thousand meters to make it look like this can be said to be loved by Lady Luck. The knife was broken by inserting it into the rock wall halfway to slow down the speed of the body, and finally broke under the weight of the knife after opening a hole in the rock wall that was hundreds of meters long. And there are still a few hundred meters from the ground, Long Ming then caught some small trees on the rock wall to escape, but it still caused a serious dislocation of his right arm, I have to say that Long Ming's courage is commendable.

Long Ming stretched out his left hand, which was still intact, but there were still some wounds on it, and his left hand, which was originally blood-red, now looked even more weird. The space ring on Long Ming's left hand flashed, and with a "bang", the giant tripod handed over to him by Xinda immediately appeared in the clearing, and a splash of water was scattered from the mouth of the tripod.

When Sinda saw the splash, she knew it was the clear spring he had been thinking about, and she was speechless with joy when she looked at the splash in the air, and her eyes were straight.

"Hey! I didn't disappoint you, old man, did I? That's a lot of spring water! Next time, don't lie to me and say that there is no danger, if it weren't for the hard life of the master, he would have hated Jiuquan a long time ago! Long Ming patted Ding's body with one hand and said to Xinda.

Xinda didn't seem to hear what Long Ming said, she still looked stunned, completely intoxicated by this beautiful moment, and didn't even investigate Long Ming for breaking his love knife.

"Hey! Geezer! I've got it back for you, and you're going to forge a peerless weapon for me, as you said! Otherwise, I'll have to empty your arsenal! I have to say, old man, your weapon is really handy! Long Ming patted Xinda, who was still drunk, and said half-threateningly and half-appreciatively.

"Hahahaha!" Sinda laughed and said, "No problem! As long as you have these clear springs, don't say it's one peerless divine weapon, even two peerless divine weapons, I can create them for you!! ”

Hearing Xinda say this, Long Ming's hanging heart finally let go, he didn't expect Xinda to be so satisfied, Long Ming was also afraid that Xinda would blame him for the destruction of the knife and refuse to help him forge weapons. It seems that this spring water is really good, so let's go and get some more next time! Long Ming secretly made up his mind, but at the same time, he remembered the voice he heard at the peak, and his face changed from relaxed to solemn.

"Come on! Little brother, go and rest first! Take good care of the wound, and I'll start casting weapons for you right away, just wait for the good news from the old man! Xinda helped Long Ming and let him into the house to rest.

After a day, Long Ming had already recovered a few points, but the dislocated hand was still unable to exert force, looking at Xinda constantly busy beside the forging furnace, a weapon was about to take shape, and it was the same pattern as the previous Taidao, but this new one was more lusterous than before.

Long Ming suddenly remembered something, came to Xinda's front and took out something and said, "Master, can I reforge this sword into the style of a sword?" ”

Sinda raised her head and looked at Long Ming's things, and was stunned for a while, for a master foundry, the things in Long Ming's hands were very lethal to him.

What Long Ming held in his hand was the Thunder Spirit Knife of Kaino before, after Kai Nuo's death, Long Ming easily recovered it, thinking that he might use it in the future, and now is the time to use this Thunder Spirit Knife.

"Where did you get this from?" Xinda took the Thunder Spirit Knife in Long Ming's hand with trembling hands, and stroked the blade with a face full of fascination.

Long Ming briefly explained to Sinda where the Thunder Spirit Knife came from.

"What a good knife! I didn't expect the goblins to master this kind of forging technology, if it weren't for the goblin's refusal to accept humans, I really wanted to communicate with them about this weapon-forging technology. Sinda sighed.

Xinda threw the Tai Dao that should have been cast almost into the forge furnace, put Long Ming's Thunder Spirit Knife on the stone platform, and then took out a bunch of things from the spatial ring!

"Long Ming! You're lucky to have picked up such a treasure this time! Hehe! This time, the old man is here to show his skills! It's also an opportunity to improve my skills! Xinda said to Long Ming, she couldn't help but show her skills!

Long Ming watched Xinda show his skills from the side, since Long Ming was curious, Xinda did not hesitate to tell Long Ming some forging things, so that he could know how the weapon he would hold in his hand in the future came from!

"Long Ming, do you know? A good sword has to go through countless heat treatments to make the surface hot and the core hardness low, which is the outside and tough on the inside. The carbon content in different steels is different, and there are also impurities such as sulfur and burn. It is best to choose low-carbon steel when forging, and then after carburizing, and countless quenching and tempering, a good sword can come out! ”

Long Ming listened to Xinda's words and somewhat understood how the swords in this world came about, it turned out that the weapon he used required the forger to put in so much effort and go through so many complicated procedures before it could come out.

Xinda continued to forge as she spoke, and began to reshape the Thunder Spirit Knife in her hand, and then said to Long Ming: "But these truths are the truths that every beginner forging master knows, and they can be said to be the basic knowledge of our forging masters. After several years of accumulation, we are generally able to master this knowledge proficiently. In this way, the degree of forging of our forges should be the same, and then it is time for us to step into a higher threshold, and we need to find the natural treasures of this world to improve our skills. One of them is the clear spring I told you to find, and it's second to none of the quenching materials! The so-called quenching is to burn the beaten weapon red on the fire, and then immediately put it into cold water to soak it properly, so that it can cool down suddenly. Repeat this a few times, and the weapon will become stiff and resilient! The quenching process looks easy, but it is extremely difficult to grasp the benefits of operation, and the heat of the fire, the degree of cooling, and the quality of the water have a lot to do with it. If the quenching is not enough, the blade is not hard and easy to roll the edge; If the quenching is overdone, the blade will become brittle and easy to break; Quenching is suitable, and it must have its rich experience! ”

"And one more thing is the material of the weapon! Many of the materials used to forge weapons cannot be shattered by multiple beatings, so the forge will stop and let the weapon take shape when it reaches a critical point. But there is a drawback to this, and I think you can easily guess it, that is, the impurities in the weapon cannot be removed! Naturally, such weapons are much worse than those artifacts! I see that the raw materials of your Thunder Spirit Knife are very good, it belongs to a kind that I have never seen before, and it also contains thunder elements, and the whole body is very pure, as long as it goes through layers of fine tempering, it will definitely become a contemporary divine soldier! Xinda picked up the completely deformed Thunder Spirit Knife and said, the Thunder Spirit Knife was still shining with fine and dense thunder elements, and the thunder elements were so rich that they could be seen with the naked eye!

Xinda continued to beat the Thunder Spirit Knife with the sledgehammer in his hand, a little impurity flowed out of it, and the Thunder Spirit Knife was beaten to change different shapes, and then Xinda sprinkled the unknown powder on the knife embryo from time to time so that the knife embryo would not deform and collapse under his vigorous hammering. After that, Xinda put a few transparent stones in the forge furnace, and as soon as the stones entered the forge furnace, bursts of cold air emitted bursts of cold air, which made the temperature of the forge much lower, and Sinda put some fiery red stones into it, so that the temperature of the forge can be controlled at will!

It seems that Xinda has really made a bloody investment, Long Ming couldn't help but look forward to it when he looked at the busy Xinda!

Sinda kept repeating the thrashing process like this, beating and beating, quenching the weapon, and then taking it out and beating it again. The monotonous action was repeated again and again, like a machine, as long as he accepted the order, no matter how boring the work was, he would continue to do it, but looking at Xinda's face, Long Ming could clearly feel his happiness, because he was smiling.

A few days passed, and Sinda was still there pouring his heart and soul into it. Qingyingquan has already used up more than half of it, but it still doesn't look like Xinda is satisfied, it seems that this is really not a simple thing, I hope it won't fail in the end!
