Meng Huan Chilong couldn't leave for a while, and he couldn't go, because he had to wait for the final result, and he paid attention to this matter, because the strong crossbow was something he came up with, and it was also the most important preparation content of Yitian City. So I was stunned for a while, and I thought about making crossbow spears again, and I felt that it was possible to succeed, so I relaxed.

He glanced around the workshop, then leaned over to a few craftsmen forging around a furnace who were forging crossbow spears.

After watching it for a while, I remembered the feeling when I watched Tian Zhikun forging, and felt that if I tried it myself, I might find the feeling of being one inside and the outside, so that my practice realm could be improved one step, not to mention that I also wanted to learn forging, so I could experience it myself.

When he thought so, he took off his armor and then the cloth underneath, and like those craftsmen, he wore only a pair of trousers, and showed out the strong muscles of his upper body. Although it was early spring, in this workshop full of fires, he did not feel cold, but a kind of warmth.

He walked over to a few craftsmen. "Brothers, can I join you? By the way, I agreed with Mr. Tian that I would like to learn forging from him, and he has agreed. ”

In fact, this is a lie, Tian Zhikun did not agree to teach him, but just said that he would come if he was interested.

Those craftsmen already knew his identity, and saw that he had just talked to Tian Zhikun for a long time, so in their minds, this person was an adult, and he would come to learn forging, but he just watched the excitement and had fun.

One of them was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, this is not good, you didn't do this job." ”

Hearing what the craftsman said, he jumped on the same page. "It's okay, I'm looking for Mr. Tian to learn alchemy, and I must start with wrought iron. Besides, don't be frightened by that armor, I was inferior to you a few days ago! As he spoke, he stepped forward and snatched a hammer from a man's hand, which weighed about forty or fifty pounds.

When everyone was still a little surprised and didn't react, they had already made up their strength, and when it was rounded, it was a hammer, and it smashed on the red-burned, already-to-form crossbow spear. This hammer directly smashed the crossbow spear and deformed, not only flattening down in the middle, but also warping the two ends.

The man in charge of the hammer among the craftsmen couldn't help but scream. "Your strength, my lord. But immediately slowed down. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that this crossbow has to be beaten hard, as we often did when we first started. As he spoke, he threw the half-finished crossbow spear into the fire and re-forged it.

When he heard the scream, he knew that he was reckless, and he dared to do it without understanding anything, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm in trouble." I'm sorry! Why don't you teach me how to fight?"

The person in charge of the small hammer glanced at him, his eyes were unwelcome, they were asked by Tian Zhikun to shoot how many crossbow spears every day, and if they were broken once, it was equivalent to extending the time, and they had to be punished for doing more, several of them were Tian Zhikun's apprentices, and it was natural for the master to punish them.

But the person in front of him is Lord Baiwei, and it is not something they can easily offend, so they can only endure their emotions and let Meng Huan Chilong continue to mess with them.

"It's okay, it was like this at the beginning, I thought it would be okay to strike iron. In fact, forging requires a good control of the power and hitting position. Every time you forge, there are two purposes, one is to make the desired shape, and the other is to change the strength of the metal and remove impurities by deformation, so it is not enough to rely on strength alone. As for the location, it is empirical, and different shapes of things have different initial landing points and different changes, and they can be mastered after a long time. The man with the hammer explained.

Meng Huan Chilong looked at him, knowing that the other party was not satisfied with his behavior, but he still said cheekily: "Got it, can you let me try again?"

The man with the hammer in his hand took out a red-hot iron rod, put it on the iron ingot, and said to him: "You follow my hammer, I will fall there, you will fall there, the strength will be about the same as mine, if it is bigger, you will have to start again." ”

He nodded earnestly, and made the man of the little hammer gesture to a few people around him, and then began to fight around again.

At first, he was still a little nervous, controlling his strength, although the cooperation was not smooth enough, he was finally fine, seeing that the iron rod had been formed, and when it had completely cooled down, it was a crossbow spear that had been formed.

But the more he got to the back, the more nervous he became, he felt that the muscles of his arms were stiff, and his movements were deformed, and he couldn't control it, and the hammer in his hand smashed on the hammer of the small hammer, and several people stopped.

Usually practicing the exercises, he is full of all his strength to hit each move, and the speed is extremely fast, now he is asked to retract his strength, but also to swing the hammer according to the rhythm, so that he has a kind of tiptoe, very unhappy feeling, and he is afraid of accidents, so he is even more nervous, but fortunately this time he finally did not smash the crossbow spear that had just formed.

Meng Huan Chilong saw that he had a problem again, and hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't control it. ”

The man holding the small hammer said lightly: "It's okay, relax, let's come again." ”

Saying this, Meng Huan Chilong was embarrassed, he knew that he was caught in the middle with a raw hand, not only himself was nervous, but these people were also nervous. And he knew that these people must have a mission, and they won't be playing here, and if they continue to participate, they are afraid that they will not be able to shoot a single crossbow spear in a day.

He threw down the hammer and said a little curtly: "Forget it, I won't participate, I'm here to mislead you in business." ”

The person in charge of the small hammer was also a little embarrassed to hear it, and said very kindly: "My lord, it's okay, you are just not proficient, if you practice a few more times, you may have mastered the trick of making a hammer." ”

Hearing this, he was a little hesitant, as a person who practices witchcraft and exercises, he knows a truth, practice makes perfect. If you don't practice it all the time, you won't be able to learn the best exercises, and you can only understand the truth by doing it yourself. He practiced knife techniques with Brother in the cottage every day, so that his knife became faster and faster, because he had a certain understanding of knife nature.

When he hesitated, a simple young man next to him who was about the same age as him, not as tall as him, but stronger than him, said: "This adult, when you come up to do this kind of fine work, it's still early, why don't I accompany this adult, beat the rough iron into fine iron, find the feeling of hammering, and then fight with you." ”

The man in charge of the small hammer glanced at him, then at the young man, and said, "Okay, you practice first, and tell the adults some methods." ”

The boy nodded at him, then walked toward an iron ingot that no one had, skillfully opened the furnace so that the flames inside rose, and threw in a square, rough iron billet evidently cast from the gold furnace.

He saw that the young man was busy, so he introduced himself: "Thank you brother for teaching me, I am the Menghuan Red Dragon in the mountains, I don't know what my brother's name is?"

The young man smiled at him and said, "Are you from the Castle?"

"yes! You know we're in the dark?"

"I'm from Panshi Town, my name is Shi Jiarui. ”

Meng Winding Red Dragon unconsciously had a sense of closeness to the boy. Because Panshi Town was the closest town to their cottage, and it was also the only town he had ever visited.

"Really, I've been to your town, and it's more than our village. ”

Shi Jiarui didn't answer this, but asked, "You escaped from the mountain, do you know what the situation is in the mountain?"

He knew that Shi Jiarui was worried about his relatives who stayed in the town, and his face was gloomy, and he said, "I don't know about other areas, but our area should be occupied by them, and the clansmen have either been arrested or fled into the mountains and forests." ”

Shi Jiarui sighed. "I heard that you are now a hundred captains, and you are recruiting soldiers, I wonder if you can ask me?"

"Yes, of course, as long as I am willing to fight the people of the right dynasty, I want it. ”

"But I'm a little special. Abba saw that there were very few people refining weapons in the mountains, and they had to spend a lot of money to buy weapons and other supplies, so it took a lot of money to send me to Mr. Tian to learn skills. I don't know if Abba is still there, but I must continue to learn the refining weapon, and I want to become a caster. Shi Jiarui said softly.

Meng Huan Chilong can understand this kind of thinking, because he wants to become a witch, and he also gives an explanation to Abba, Wu Gong, so he has a resonance with Shi Jiarui in his heart, whether it is to become a caster, or this mentality, he agrees very much.

Then he asked Shi Jiarui, "Are you a fire witch?"

"Yes, Abba thinks that I will definitely become a forger, even if it is the worst, I should be a refiner, and I can craft weapons. ”

Meng Huan Chilong thought for a while and said: "In this way, if you don't dislike it, be my personal guard, so that you don't have to participate in the training of soldiers, you can have time to learn refining weapons from Mr. Tian, but as long as there is a war, you must participate, this is the responsibility of every soldier." ”

Shi Jiarui laughed. "Okay, no problem. ”

"Well, I'll go back and ask someone to send you the military preparation, and you will be my soldier. I live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce, if you hear the drums, you can just gather at the door. ”

"Alright, let's start forging. In order to be made into fine iron, a rough billet like this has to be forged constantly. The purpose of forging is to refine the impurities, when hitting, there are only two requirements, that is, force, only strength can squeeze out the impurities in the metal, and the other is to ensure the shape of the rough billet, round or square, convenient to store and carry. This requires you to learn to control the landing point and keep the rough blank in shape. Shi Jiarui said as he put the red-hot rough billet on the iron ingot.

Only then did he realize that the iron ingot in front of him was different from others, in the center of the iron ingot, there was a box-like thing, and the rough billet was placed in the box, so that when the rough billet was beaten, the rough billet would not be beaten out. And when the crossbow spear was fired just now, the red-hot iron rod was held by the person holding the small hammer, and it could constantly change its position and angle.

After Shi Jiarui put it down, he made a gesture and said, "Lord Baiwei, you can fight now." ”

"This is not in the barracks, you don't have to call me a military position, I see that we are about the same age, you can call me Chilong." ”

The hammer in the hand of the red dragon fell, and this round he did not control the power, nor did he use magic power, it seemed that he was just venting, wielding the hammer with the strength of his body, so the hammer sound was particularly loud.

After a while, he broke out in a sweat, and the square rough billet became a strange-shaped cake under his hammer.

As soon as he took a breath, he heard Shi Jiarui say: "Forging requires brains, you only use force, don't use brains, and you will never learn to refine weapons." In this round, I didn't pay attention to the landing point at all, just played randomly. In addition, when hammering, you can use magic power, but do not easily input magic power into the metal, as different magic power may change the properties of the metal. ”
