Chapter 43: The Hammer and the Hammer Method

"You're going to teach me?"

His face was full of suspicion, Fang Yan's eyes swept over Dolan from bottom to top, Dolan stood with his hands in his hands and put on a master's demeanor, but the limbs that were as thin as the old pine trees were not convincing at all, and his body was slightly hunchbacked, without the slightest feeling of being a strong man. Smacking his mouth, Fang Yan shook his head with a pretended sigh.

"What do you mean, stinky boy? Do you look down on your master? Facing the three big words "You can't do it" clearly written on Fang Yan's face, Dolan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, and immediately questioned loudly. Just kidding, being looked down upon by his own apprentices, how can this master be mixed?

Deliberately not looking at Dolan's expression, Fang Yan raised his little thumb and picked his ears: "I said master, I know that you traveled to Da 6 when you were young, and your strength should be okay at that time." But now・・・・・・"

Fang Yan didn't say anything clearly, but just blew at his little thumb.

Teeth creaked, and Dolan rolled up his sleeves angrily: "Come on, come on, I don't know how thick the sky is if I don't clean you up, old man, I'll let you have one hand!" ”

I was speechless for a while, how could I do it to my master? Fang Yan could only helplessly say that the master's strength was of course very strong, far from being comparable to himself, and coaxed Dolan to be satisfied before he breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing that Duolan still looked unsatisfied, Fang Yan hurriedly changed the topic**: "Master, how can I improve my ability in forging?" ”

Dolan waved his hand: "I'll talk about this later, let's talk about your combat ability first." I know you don't like fighting, but you can offer it and prove that you have a clear plan for your future. ”

A rare serious expression appeared on Dolan's face, which usually had a bitter and bitter and cynical expression: "Fang Yan, now I want to ask you very carefully, don't care about my attitude, and tell you what you really think in your heart." ”

"Advancing on the path of a forge all your life, is that what you really want to do?"

Looking at Dolan, Fang Yan closed his eyes, and all the past appeared in front of his eyes one by one. When he was a child, he was forced by his master to learn blacksmithing, and was locked up in a sweltering and closed hut all day long; The excitement when forging his first work turned into depression in an instant after being attacked by the master as useless; found his own path and wanted to follow this path until he caught up with the master, but was sneered at and criticized by the master as worthless・・・・・・

fists, clenched inadvertently.

Fang Yan raised his head, met Dolan's gaze, and suddenly smiled: "Old man, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, becoming the No. 1 forger of Valoran has been my dream since I was a child!" Beating you in your proudest place makes me tremble with excitement just thinking about it. ”

Taking a step outward with his right foot, Fang Yan said loudly: "Although I have lost a lot because of forging, and I have also encountered a lot of hardships and pains on this road, but! I didn't become a blacksmith to meet your expectations, I genuinely love blacksmithing. You can understand how I feel when I see the pieces of equipment come out of my hands, just like my children. ”

"So, don't doubt my resolve! My dedication to forging may not be worse than yours, but I will surpass your strongest forging master in the future! If there's any great trick you can hide, it will make my process of catching up with you a little more interesting. With his hands clasped in front of his chest, Fang Yan raised his head to look at Dolan.

Looking at Fang Yan, Duolan didn't say anything and turned around and left, just dropped a sentence of "follow me" and walked on his own. Fang Yan was also silent, following in Dolan's footsteps.

The master and apprentice walked to the bathroom one after the other, and Dolan unscrewed what looked like a box in the lattice on the sink, and with a "boom", the porcelain tiles on the ground instantly cracked a square tunnel opening. Walking down the stairs of the tunnel, Fang Yan followed him into the tunnel, and slapped a seemingly ordinary place on the wall of the tunnel, the door of the tunnel above closed in response, and the dark tunnel also lit up.

This basement was not new to Fang Yan, or it was not an exaggeration, and he spent most of his time here. This is the casting room of Dolan and Fang Yan.

Walking down the short staircase, the stone door belonging to Dolan's forge on the right side was opened, and the two of them walked in one after the other. Fang Yan remained silent all the way, although he didn't know what the master was going to say to him, but seeing him so solemn, Fang Yan knew that the next words were very important.

With a look of emotion in his eyes, Dolan stepped over to the forge and solemnly picked up the hammer that had been placed on the stage. This giant hammer Fang Yan is not the first time he has seen it, it is a forging tool that has accompanied Dolan for decades, and is regarded by Dolan as his most trusted partner. This giant hammer was much larger than Fang Yan's Night Star Hammer, the hammer alone was the size of half a human, but in Dolan's hands, it was like an arm.

"Fang Yan," turned his back and stroked the giant hammer, without using a pronoun like "stinky boy", Dolan rarely called Fang Yan's name directly, "Do you know the biggest difference between our genre and other genres?" ”

Although he was able to vaguely know something based on his knowledge, Fang Yan did not interject and quietly waited for Dolan's narration.

"There are many other schools of blacksmiths that use a lot of tools to forge equipment, especially to craft armor or magic equipment. Armor requires sewing tools, magical equipment requires delicate carvings and the like, and even the most mundane weapons require a lot of troublesome tools. ”

"But our genre is different, whether it's weapons, armor, magic equipment, or even all types of equipment, we only need a hammer to get it."

Fang Yan couldn't help but wonder: "Magical equipment is understandable, and it can be made into an integral one like the Ring of Dolan, but how can the armor be made with just a hammer?" "For so many years, Fang Yan's main energy has been spent on weapons, and he is really not too familiar with other types of equipment.

"Combo, I'll teach you later." For Fang Yan's doubts, Duolan didn't mention much for the time being, and then continued from the previous words, "Therefore, the hammer deserves to be ranked first in our school, both the hammer itself and the hammer method mastered are very important. ”

"Hammer Method・・・・・・" recited this word silently, recalling the sense of rhythm he had mastered when forging before, Fang Yan seemed to have an understanding.

Seeing Fang Yan's thoughtful appearance, the corners of Dolan's mouth couldn't help but curl a little, and he continued: "This kind of hammer method can not only be used for forging, even if it is placed in combat skills, it can be regarded as first-class. Because the key is in the 'hammer', so for us to forge at the same time as learning to fight, when fighting is also equivalent to forging, under the action of the two phases of progress is much faster than the average blacksmith. After all, they will be distracted by exercising their combat abilities, but we will do more with less. ”

Speaking of this, Dolan couldn't help but touch his beard, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes: "So your master and my combat strength are well-deserved first among forgers." ”

Hearing Dolan's description, Fang Yan couldn't help but be fascinated, and suddenly frowned: "Then why didn't you teach me at the beginning, and you didn't even say it?" ”

"At that time, you were often angry, and you couldn't learn it, so it made sense to tell you?" Dolan snorted, returning to his previous tone.

Shrugged his shoulders absently, the corners of Fang Yan's mouth curled slightly: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and teach me, old man!" ”
