Originally, he had some special ideas, and after seeing this hotel, he knew that he was in the soup, and he really didn't give it a chance at all...

Over the next ten days, Ios and Thomas spent their free time learning how to forge different types of silverware.

Although Ios only came to learn how to forge silver weapons, the tuition fees had already been paid anyway, so he didn't learn it in vain.

I have to say that although this Thomas is greedy for money and the tuition fees are frighteningly expensive, he does have real skills. Under his easy-to-understand explanations and highly targeted guidance, Ios's learning progress was so fast that even he was quite surprised, and it can be said that the tuition fee is really worth the money.

Of course, this in itself has something to do with the extreme talent of Ios himself, after all, even Thomas felt that he had really lived to a dog in the past few decades when he was teaching.

That's what his father taught him, but it took him half a year to get it all taught. And what about the young man in front of him, it will be almost half a month, and he will be able to master it in a few days, and it may only take a month to find this progress and understand it?

Maybe it's not necessarily fast to master, but he'll be able to do it in two months at most. If the current apprentices were so capable, wouldn't the masters all starve to death?

After all, it didn't take long to learn all the master's skills after following the master, and when the time came, wouldn't he start to compete with the master for business? And the apprentices will continue to accept apprentices, and the apprentices and grandchildren are endless.

Fortunately, such people are always scarce, and they don't need to worry about losing their jobs......

While Thomas was thinking about it, Ios began to ask some questions about the actual forging process. He paid a lot of tuition, wouldn't it be a loss to squeeze more oil and water!

So as soon as he had a difficult question, he unceremoniously asked Thomas directly. Although it is more rewarding to solve difficulties by yourself, in this completely unfamiliar field, your own solutions may not be as good as the experience accumulated by others over the years.

When the time came, I worked hard to come up with a solution, but when people saw it, this method had been eliminated for an unknown number of years! Isn't that a waste of time?

Therefore, it is not always the best choice to solve it on your own. In an unfamiliar field, the opinion of those who are experienced will be more important!

Anyway, it took Ios nearly a month to squeeze the last drop of oil and water from Thomas before saying goodbye to him.

Because of his appreciation for Ios, he also made an exception to teach him some more advanced knowledge, but if he went deeper, he was reluctant to teach more, after all, Ios was not his successor.

Unable to learn anything new from Thomas, Ios knew it was time to return to England, a trip to France that had been very rewarding. Although I didn't have time to see the scenic spots, I didn't taste the food, and my wallet was deflated... But he achieved the most important goal of his trip—the knowledge of forging silver.

With this, everything is worth it.

After informing Fleur, the two soon returned to England together.

Originally, at such a tense juncture, it was impossible for Ios to have time to go to France for a 'vacation', but who let him complete an almost impossible task some time ago, and this little time should have given him a good rest.

Speaking of which, after the failure of the last operation of the Ministry of Magic, they completely lost the trace of Ios, the "black wizard", which made them very nervous, and sent a lot of manpower and material resources to search for his traces, which also made them have to relax their attention on Dumbledore's side a lot.

In other words, the expected goal of this mission has indeed been achieved, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix feel a lot easier to do the task during this time, so they have no opinion on Ios's vacation.

But now that he's back, it's not good to always ignore the activities of the Order of the Phoenix.

So he asked Fleur to attend the Order of the Phoenix meetings instead of him, and she was a member of the Order of the Phoenix anyway, so it was perfectly fine.

And he himself went to prepare the materials needed to forge the spear, which was easy to prepare, but the difficult thing was the forging tools, such as the furnace, which were difficult to obtain, and where to buy them was a problem.

But no matter how difficult it is, as long as it can be solved with money, it will never be difficult. After spending a large sum of money, the items were transported to a workshop rented for the purpose of forging spears.

With everything in place, Ios decided to get started.

One of the key problems with forging silver weapons is that the texture of silver is too soft to be used as a weapon, so it needs to be doped with some other metals, but not too much, otherwise it can still be considered silver after a certain comparison? That's just an alloy.

Moreover, even if it is mixed with other metals, it is not enough, and this is where magic comes into play, turning silver into silver smelting! This is the reason why silver weapons can be used in real combat, and they are unmatched in their power and have special powers.

Speaking of which, magic is really a magical power, the power to make the impossible possible.

How to deal with silver and turn it into smelt silver This is the basis for forging silver weapons, of course, if it is some daily necessities or the like, you don't need to do this, only weapons need it.

Ios is going to make a spear, and its head and barrel are handled differently. The tip needs to be sharp and penetrating, while the barrel needs to be hard and tough.

This required a different metal mix and magic, which was the most important thing Ios had learned in his days with Thomas.

He poured silver nuggets and other metals into a fiery furnace in proportion, and soon they softened until they became liquid, and then poured them into a prepared mold, which he stopped when it was filled.

True, the barrel of the gun does not rely on forging methods such as hammering and molding, the most convenient thing is pouring. Although this may be more than hard and not flexible enough, if ordinary people make it, it is also an ornament, but isn't magic just to turn decay into magic?

When the barrel in the mold was almost cool, he smashed the mold and took out the barrel and put it back into the furnace, after all, the barrel of the gun without magic was meaningless, and the best time was when it was still silver or liquid.

After a lot of effort, the barrel of the gun finally took shape, and after polishing, Ios once again applied a new magic on it, and it was completely completed.

Then there was the spearhead, which this time required him to forge the silver nuggets that had been turned into silver refining and hammer them out to complete.

It's not as fast as a gun, and it's not a play at all for ten days and half a month. Ios can only hammer and hammer slowly, but he is a wizard after all, and the hammer can be hammered completely automatically without his own hands.

He only needs to pay attention to the strength of the hammer, after all, this is still very particular, and the strength required for each hammer is different, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
