Chapter 32: The Stars of the Night

Inhale, exhale.

In the closed hut, the bellows agitated the furnace under the forging table, and the flames were surging and tumbling inside, reflecting on Fang Yan's face and looking red. The temperature was very high, but Fang Yan had already adapted to such a temperature, and his face was full of calm at this moment.

"On the seventh day, it's time for the final steps." Silently reciting a sentence in his heart, a trace of excitement flashed in Fang Yan's eyes. In order to forge this piece of equipment that he had prepared for a long time, Fang Yan had been in this stuffy room for seven days, and he had to be busy for more than ten hours every day. Today, it's finally time for the final step.

In the first three days, Fang Yan spent all his attention on the mold of the equipment, slowly refining it with a delicate attitude that Lolita and Elsa couldn't stand it. Unlike most of Valoran's forgers, compared to those forgers who only valued the power of runes and not the equipment itself, Fang Yan's dedication in this regard was simply terrifying.

For Fang Yan, the power of runes was extremely important, but the forging of the equipment itself was also extremely important. Fang Yan cherished every piece of equipment he cast as a work of art, and he tried to do his best in every detail, to the point of nitpicking. This is also one of the root causes of the conflict between Fang Yan and his master.

Therefore, compared to a forging master of the same level as Valoran Da 6, Fang Yan was so miserable in terms of the number and efficiency of forging that he couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he was far superior to them in terms of the quality, artistry, and practicality of the equipment. As for who is superior and who is inferior to these two concepts, it is up to everyone, at least Fang Yan has been sticking to his choice.

So, Fang Yan had the attitude of striving for perfection, and it took three full days to complete the mold of the equipment. After having the mold, Fang Yan began the next step of work, melting some of the materials that had been prepared one by one.

First of all, the main material is naturally iron, after all, with Fang Yan's current financial resources, he can't use rare materials for the entire piece of equipment, or ordinary iron is the most cost-effective. No, it would not be right to say that it was ordinary iron, it would be correct to say that it was iron that could carry the power of runes.

This kind of iron is almost no different from ordinary iron, and it has no effect at all in the hands of ordinary people, the only difference is that it can carry rune power. But this is such a little difference, but their value is very different, each iron ore vein will produce one percent of the iron that can carry the power of runes, and the other ninety-nine percent is ordinary iron, and their prices are naturally more than a hundred times different.

For example, a longsword with +1o attack power and an iron sword with no runic power attached to it are almost the same, even if they are similar in terms of workmanship, quality, sharpness, etc., but their prices are very different. Without him, just because the cost of materials for making a long sword alone is more than 2oo gold coins, and the price of an ordinary iron sword is only two or three gold coins, this is the difference.

And this is just ordinary iron, if you count other metals, the value gap is even greater.

Even in the whole of Valoran6, the metal that can carry the power of the runes is a rare resource, and in the highly centralized city-states of Noxus and Demacia, it is almost monopolized by the state and has high strategic value. Only by using these rune metals as materials can the blacksmiths create equipment with runic power attached, which shows its importance.

Back to Fang Yan's forging work, in addition to iron, Fang Yan also added a small amount of tin and brass, which can increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the equipment, of course, it can also carry the power of runes, in the absence of precious materials with the same effect, Fang Yan can only use this way instead.

Finally, it was the only precious material Fang Yan had, Xingchen Steel.

Although Fang Yan possessed a small amount of Star Steel, even a small amount of Star Steel would bring a considerable difference to the equipment. In this way, the weight of the equipment created by Fang Yan would be amazing, and even Fang Yan himself could only use it after urging his anger. Moreover, the hardness and toughness of the equipment will also be greatly improved, and the most important thing is that the rune power that can be carried will also be more, so that the quality of the equipment will be improved by more than one grade.

After preparing all these materials, Fang Yan used a furnace fire to melt them all into liquid metal, added a special mixture of chemicals, mixed them according to a certain proportion, and poured them into the mold, and the excess materials were stored for later use.

The mold filled with molten iron was placed there for three days and three nights, and after it cooled, Fang Yan's forging work was more than half completed. Of course, during the three days of waiting for the cooldown, Fang Yan was not idle, but used to polish the handle of the equipment.

The material that equipped the handle was naturally the black iron core wood that Fang Yan had worked so hard to get. There are three advantages to using black iron core wood as a handle, the most important is that it can carry rune power to match the main body of the equipment, the second is that it is not easy to deform, solid and durable, and the third is that it feels comfortable and has a sweat-absorbing effect. Don't underestimate the third point, insiders know how important a handy weapon is, and in Fang Yan's opinion, the importance of the compatibility between people and weapons is no less than the quality of the equipment itself.

According to the precisely calculated size, a piece of material was removed from the black iron core wood, and after Fang Yan's careful and extreme polishing, it took two and a half days to finally complete it. The finished handle looks dark and shiny, and it seems to be smooth, but it will never slip when held in the hand, but it will feel like it fits in the hand, as if you can't let go of it when you grasp it in your hand.

In this way, after three days of making molds, three days of waiting for cooling and grinding the handles, on this seventh day, Fang Yan finally had to start the final work.

Using iron tongs to take out a piece of black iron from the furnace fire and put it on the forging table in front of him, Fang Yan picked up the iron hammer on the side and tightened it tightly in his palm, and then slowly struck the iron block in front of him again and again. This somewhat cylindrical piece of iron was naturally the main body of the equipment, but it was still wrapped in a layer of mold, and what Fang Yan had to do now was to smash the mold shell.

After about an hour of tapping, the work was complete, and the shell shattered to reveal the body of the equipment inside. The shape somewhat resembles a cylinder, but the front part is slightly narrower, and the back part is a little wider, which is to concentrate forces. The color is mainly black, but there are several bronze patterns on the edges, which together show a strange beauty.

Nodding with satisfaction and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Fang Yan used iron tongs to remove the handle placed on it from a small shelf inside the stove. Putting the handle there and roasting it is naturally not to remove the moisture inside, because there is very little moisture inside the black ironcore wood, and there is no need to do this at all. Roasting it, naturally, was to keep it active, so that Fang Yan could combine the handle with the main body of the equipment.

Fang Yan didn't feel too hot, so he picked up the somewhat hot handle, and a red light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "At this time, it's time to use your anger." ”

As he spoke, he aimed the handle at the small hole behind the main body of the equipment, and with the other hand, he picked up the hammer with a flashing red light, and drove the handle into the small hole like a nail.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Because the handle had just been roasted and was in an active state, coupled with the effect of Fang Yan's anger, the work was finally completed after a few hours. If it had been replaced with an ordinary wooden handle, it would have been good a long time ago, but the hardness and toughness of the black iron core wood are too high, so it took so long, but it was definitely worth the money.

On the forging platform, a giant black hammer lay quietly, looking solemn and solemn, as calm as a mountain. The bronze pattern on the side of the giant hammer adds a sense of mystery to it, and the eyes of people who put it there can't help but look at it.

That's right, the equipment that Fang Yan created this time was a giant hammer.

Although for warriors, swords and other things look cooler, but for Fang Yan, iron hammers are the most commonly used, not only in battle, but also for later casting. And even in battle, the power of this giant hammer is definitely not to be underestimated, once this powerful hammer smashes on people, tsk.

Of course, while the Hammer has been built, the forging of the equipment is not really complete. Missing, the most critical step.

Staring at the giant hammer in front of him with satisfaction, the corners of Fang Yan's mouth showed an excited smile. He took a dagger and swiped it lightly on the tip of his right index finger, and a stream of blood suddenly overflowed, and the scarlet blood looked particularly strange under the light of the flames in the furnace.

Gazing quietly, his fingers with blood sketched a complex pattern on the giant hammer, covering the entire giant hammer, and the blood-red lines added a touch of horror to the dark giant hammer. When the last stroke seamlessly connected with the first stroke, all the lines suddenly burst into a burst of scarlet light, and the whole giant hammer was filled with blood.

Withdrawing his hand, although his face was pale due to excessive blood loss, Fang Yan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and now it was the most critical moment of equipment forging.

Closing his eyes, a spiritual power that had increased a lot but remained pure and unchanging poured out of his mind and concentrated around his eyes. Then, the mysterious world that belonged to the runes appeared in front of Fang Yan's eyes again.

Orange-red, orange-yellow, light green, dark blue, yellow, purple, ・・・・・・ distinctly colored areas are arranged in the void, just like water of different colors, but if you look closely, you will see that the "water" in each area is composed of countless tiny elements. The elements were constantly in motion, and if you listened closely, you could hear their murmurs, as if they were not dead things, but living beings.

Skillfully urging the spiritual power to communicate with these elements, and gradually reaching a resonance with them, Fang Yan integrated the elements he needed and gathered them in front of him, and had an in-depth spiritual exchange with these elements.

A moment later, all the elements floated on top of the giant hammer one by one according to Fang Yan's instructions, entering every inch of the entire giant hammer from different places in order.

When the last element entered the giant hammer, the giant hammer suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and then dissipated in an instant, returning to its original appearance of a bronze pattern in the dark, and even the blood marks drawn by Fang Yan on it disappeared. The current appearance seems to be the same as before, but if you look closely, you will see that the giant hammer is a little less mysterious and more restrained than before.

"Hahahaha・・・・・・・" Looking at the giant hammer in front of him, Fang Yan couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, the laughter was almost inaudible at first, but in the end it looked a little crazy.

"I'm finally ・・・・・・ I'm finally able to make this level of equipment!"

Night Star Hammer

+4o Attack Damage

+2o% Critical Strike Chance

The only passive - Night Dance: Dealing physical damage to an enemy hero increases the caster's ATK by 6% for 4 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

Of course, the above is only based on the runic power contained in the Hammer to assume that this equipment enters the equipment database of the War College. For all the equipment on the Valoran Big 6, these simple statistics are far from expressing their true power. In Fang Yan's hands, there was no doubt that this piece of equipment would wield a more powerful power than itself.

The significance of the birth of this piece of equipment is not only its own strength, but also means that Fang Yan has reached a higher level of forging level. In this way, Fang Yan had more confidence to face his master.

"Tomorrow is a day off, and the day after tomorrow will be out." Holding the handle of the Night Star Hammer tightly, Fang Yan's gaze seemed to penetrate the shield of the room and looked into the distance.

"Target, Ionodus - Presidium!"

(ps: This chapter really took a lot of effort, and it was troublesome enough just to check the information, but I finally wrote satisfactory content.) Today is the last day we stay at home, and we will take the train back to school early tomorrow morning, so there is a good chance that there will be no update tomorrow, even if we desperately rush out, it is estimated that it will be late, sorry. If we don't rush out of the update tomorrow, we will definitely make up for it later, please rest assured (salute) to the people of the motherland! Bye-bye at the end, let's hurry up and pack our bags, alas. )
