Chapter 109: The Way of Smelting
Lord Yi's residence is not far from the armory store, turning into a small alley from the street, and walking to the end.
Before he entered the door, he heard the sound of gold and iron clashing inside, which rang for a while and then stopped. Qu Dan thought to himself, this is probably Lord Na Yi refining weapons.
The door was unlocked, and Captain Li pushed it open and walked in with the song list. Walking through the front yard until I came to the backyard, I saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding an unformed iron billet in his hand, bowing his head and frowning, thinking about something.
Next to him, a young man who was supposed to make iron and steel was complete, and a young man who specialized in burning fire and drawing water stood sideways, silent.
Captain Li suddenly lightened his steps, put his hand to his mouth and gently shushed. Qu Shan nodded knowingly, and the two of them cautiously walked to the young man's side, watched quietly, and did not speak.
Qu Shan knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was Master Yi, and looked at him curiously, wanting to see something different from his appearance. But for a moment, he was disappointed. This is an ordinary Snow Clan's man, except for the frowning and thoughtful appearance is a little funny, everything else is extremely ordinary.
The three of them didn't bother Lord Yi, and they stood silently, waiting for his thoughts to end.
I don't know how long it took, Lord Yi rubbed his head dejectedly and threw the iron billet aside. When I raised my head, I saw that there were two more people in front of me.
"Li Su greeted Lord Yi. Captain Li hurriedly stepped forward to pay a respect.
Lord Yi nodded and did not speak.
"Lord Yi, Li Su has no opinion on this little brother in the armory shop, and he also has a lot of opinions on the art of smelting, so he wants to come and ask Lord Yi for advice. Li Su pointed to the song list next to him.
Qu Shan arched his hand and said: "When the kid heard about Lord Yi's past, he admired it, and after seeing the weapons made by the adult, he was happy to hunt and wanted to learn the art of smelting with Lord Yi......"
Qu Shan is talking about learning, not asking for advice as Li Su said, the two words are different, and the meaning suddenly changes.
It seems that Li Su came here with a song list to challenge Master Yi and smash his signboard. Although Li Su didn't believe that Qu Shan's smelting technique would be more profound than that of Lord Yi, just this attitude was enough to make people doubt his intentions.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Su's forehead, and he regretted it in his heart, he knew that he didn't bring this guy over, and his hair didn't grow, so he was ashamed to challenge Lord Yi.
"That's not the case, Lord Yi......" Li Su explained.
The middle-aged man waved his hand to stop him, his eyes turned on Qu Dan's face, and he said: "Little doll, I have been immersed in the way of smelting for more than 20 years, and in the tribe, I am the best weapon master, even if I look at the entire Snow Clan, there are few people who can beat me, how old are you this year, and you dare to talk to me about the word "competition?"
His voice was majestic and hoarse, revealing a taste of neutrality and peace, and it could be heard that he was not angry, just a simple question.
Qu Shan smiled slightly and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the master is a teacher, and he doesn't care about the age." Just like the path of strength cultivation, some people can break through the realm of awakening at the age of twenty, and some people can't even reach the level of the ninth order even if they have cultivated for seventy or eighty years, does Lord Yi think that this twenty-year-old powerhouse is not qualified to compete with that seventy or eighty-year-old man?"
Lord Yi nodded and said, "That's true, the level of strength cannot be judged based on age. ”
Qu Shan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it, although I'm only twelve years old this year, my comprehension of the art of smelting is no less than yours." If you talk about learning, it's not impossible. ”
Lord Yi looked at Qu Dan with a little surprise, I don't know if it was because Qu Shan was so young that he could say this, or because he was really surprised by Qu Dan's smelting technique.
"Okay, little doll, since you are so confident, then let's learn from each other and see whether the twenty-year-old awakened powerhouse is powerful, or the eighty-year-old man is powerful. Master Yi said, his hands on the ground, and the person had already bounced up and landed on a chair next to him.
Qu Shan was surprised to find that Lord Yi's legs had been sitting cross-legged and had never moved at all, and when he returned to the chair, he was actually propped up with his hands......
This famous figure in Black Bear City is actually a cripple.
As if he didn't see the surprise of Qu List, Master Yi picked up a spear that had been refined next to the chair, held it in his hand, and said, "Little doll, now you can tell me your opinion on the way of smelting." ”
Qu Shan nodded and said, "That kid is welcome." ”
Li Su on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was so arrogant just now, but now he is humble, can he still change his image?
"When it comes to smelting, the first thing to mention is the raw material for smelting. This raw material includes not only the metal needed to make weapons, but also the fuel used to melt the metal, the catalytic material, the choice of the iron-making furnace, and even the water used in some of the processes......
Lord Yi was unmoved, and seemed to have an understanding of these for a long time.
Qu Shan didn't think to impress him with these simple things, so he continued: "The choice of each raw material will affect the final quality of the weapon, generally speaking, the better the raw material, the better the weapon will be refined in the case of the same craftsmanship." However, this is not an absolute ...... Well, we should also be optimistic about what extent, what kind of weapons to make, and what kind of most suitable materials to choose, this is to pay attention to, and it is definitely not a blind pursuit of good to refine the best weapons...... I once heard a saying from the Holy Clansmen, only the right one is the best......"
Qu Shan smacked his lips, he was really a little powerless to make up nonsense, seeing that the other party was still unmoved, he knew that if he didn't make some fierce news, the other party would probably burst out and drive people away.
"Just like the newly created spear head in the hands of Master Yi, in my opinion, there is a problem in the selection of raw materials...... Qu Shan said suddenly.
"Oh?" Lord Yi finally had a little reaction, "Little doll, if you can't tell the reason, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless and throwing you out of this courtyard......"
Although the wind was light, the song list heard a sense of anger from it.
Lord Yi is extremely conceited about his smelting skills, and if Qu Shan said that it would be a competition, he even directly pointed out that there was a problem with his material selection, didn't he embarrass him in public.
But the song list is not afraid, angry, just react, I'm afraid that if you keep silent, everything I said will be in vain.
