Looking at the hundreds of steel ingots that were about to fill a room, Lu Yuan patted the floating ash on his hand and stood up, intending to pack them all and take them away.

I went out and looked around a little, and saw that there was a semi-open room on the east side of the courtyard, although it was full of sundries, but looking at the layout of the anvil, blow machine and iron furnace, it looked like an abandoned iron shop?

"Is it a blacksmith's shop?"

"Hmm", Nupo agreed with a cold face.

"Can I rent it?"

"What? Do you want to rent? Are you going to live here? Then I don't want to see you every day?! No, no, no! ”

"Because I ask you questions? Well, we're like this, as long as you don't talk to me, I won't take the initiative to ask you questions! Deal? ”

"Hmph, okay! Two gold coins per ingot, the blacksmith shop belongs to my father, I can give it to you, count 10 gold coins a month, and there is a lot of coal there, not counting money, if you run out, you will buy it yourself. You can pack up your own miscellaneous items and put them in the next room. ”

Lu Yuan directly paid to buy all the steel ingots, and the black steel ingots were more than that. This particular steel is an alloy made from meteoric iron and steel smelting, and then applied to the surface of rare magical oils, giving it a mysterious amount of power. If there is a problem, then it will be involved. Lu Yuan couldn't afford to take advantage of these thousands of gold coins.

So it took a whole afternoon for Lu Yuan to clean up the blacksmith shop, start a fire, and start building his first experimental long sword.

Nupo had been watching from afar for an afternoon, opening his mouth several times to ask, and then closing his mouth as if he remembered something. Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to start a fire, he couldn't help but say, "Are you going to build something?" Although he was talking to Lu Yuan, his face was facing the door.

"Are you talking to me? No way? Recognize the wrong person. Lu Yuan replied solemnly, picked out a piece of hard steel with a high carbon ratio, put it in the furnace, and began to heat it.

Seeing Nubo's crazy appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, concentrate on it, and began to build his first sword.

Skill Craft (Forging) level 40 certainly provides almost all the cold weapons in this continent, even including the knowledge of artifact crafting. Lu Yuan also has some insights from another world, such as Japanese swords, Roman swords, Tang swords, Damascus swords, and so on. Because of the foundation of a master blacksmith, many things that I didn't pay attention to before have now figured out a lot of mysteries.

As for material determination, center of gravity calculation, etc., these are the benefits of crossing.

As a qualified blacksmith, the most important attributes are strength and physique. Lu Yuan's physique didn't say. The strength attribute of 10 is the strength of ordinary people, and 14 is basically the strength of ordinary strong men. 14 After the amount of force, each increase is equivalent to one-third of the previous sum. The force of 18 is nearly twice as much as that of 14. Lu Yuan's strength is 15, and this strength can already catch up with the side of Hercules, resting in the Three Kingdoms, even to the extent that Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd can block one or two hits.

To create a sword, you need to hammer the red-hot iron ingots into thin slices, and then fold them layer by layer, so that the carbon and iron are more evenly combined. Then use the low-carbon and flexible part to make the blade, and the high-carbon hard part to make the blade, and finally adjust the center of gravity of the sword.

Here it should be according to the user's habits, and if you like skill, the center of gravity should be closer to the hilt. If you like to slash hard, your center of gravity is closer to the blade.

Lu Yuan's strength is large and his physical strength is good, so it is not difficult to do these things.

But after three or four days, a sword with an intact body was already baked. Lu Yuan's fingers rested on the spine of the sword 5 centimeters in front of the gauntlet, and the sword stopped steadily. Then the tip of the sword and the tail were fixed, and the long sword did not deflect, and the balance between the front and back of the sword and the left and right sides reached a very good realm.

At the end, only sanding and finishing remain.

Although most of the iron ore in Naxikai is sold to other places, some of the local mines are also smelted under the military management, and then unified into ordnance, which is a small industrial chain. The polishing of the sword is a meticulous effort, and Lu Yuan doesn't have that mind, so he naturally spends money to hire someone to polish it. After polishing, the center of gravity of the sword will move back again, according to the user's habits and preferences, determine the center of gravity, calculate and install the appropriate hilt and counterweight, this is a qualified finished product.

For the following month, Lu Yuan was immersed in the joy of forging. He also tried to make Roman swords, eight-sided Han swords, Tang swords, crusader swords, and two-handed giant swords, and even made a few katanas later. He has long known the craftsmanship of the katana, except for quenching, which is not easy to master, it is not difficult to make anything else. It's just that when the mud is painted after the most, the pattern that comes out is very ugly, and it's okay to bluff the layman.

Every time a sword is made, he will try to use the sword skills he has learned, and after trying it out in such a circle, the most suitable for himself is actually the eight-sided Han sword handed down by his ancestors, which can only be said to be fateful. The one-handed cross sword is good for stabbing and the Tang sword and katana are good for slashing. There is only an eight-sided Han sword, because the sword body is thicker, the blade is shallow, and the toughness and hardness can meet the needs, so it can be said that it is suitable for both stabbing and slashing. This sword has been eliminated in history, the main reason is that the craftsmanship is too complicated! It is still possible to build one or two treasures, and large-scale equipment cannot afford it.

Lu Yuan wanted the sword body to be tough and able to slash, and he had to control the weight, and he also worked hard.

What Lu Yuan made for himself was such a "Hundred Refinements" eight-sided Han sword with double sword slots.

[Eight-Faced Sword +2 (Excellent Quality): "Cloud Slashing]

This dull longsword is made of mystical objects, and is made entirely of blades based on ancient Oriental techniques. "Cutting clouds" means that even the clouds in the sky can be cut off. Although it does not have the energy infused with magic, it still has the toughness and sharpness of magic weapons. This sword, held in the hands of others, is just a long sword of exquisite quality. When held by the creator Lu Yuan, it can be regarded as a +2 magic sword.

"Wielding a sword will never float in the clouds, and live up to the name of the Han family."

The so-called "mysterious item" is a plate thrown by the goddess in the ring space, one centimeter thick and one meter long, how to look like a thing commonly known as "cold-rolled carbon steel plate". It's just that the weight is less than half of the steel, and it looks a lot like a sci-fi alloy...... couldn't melt and couldn't move, Lu Yuan also tried his best to use god-level tools to make it into an eight-sided Han sword system.

This sword can be classified as a rapier in terms of weight, and its lethality can be comparable to that of a xenoweapon katana, which is very different from rapier in nature. The thin sword can only stab, and the "cloud chopping" made by Lu Yuan can be re-slashed and cut, which is more suitable for the swordsmanship of the Fitlie master and craftsman.

In the past month, in addition to fixed meditation and preparation spells, even he himself has been nibbling bread to satisfy his hunger, and of course he has no time to feed the goddess. However, I have already put a note to explain that it should not be a big deal. Since he stopped, he simply went back to his house, made a good meal, rewarded "Nini" who suffered with him, and prepared one for the goddess by the way. As a result, when I opened the ring, I found that the experimental objects that I had thrown in during the process of building, such as Roman swords and so on, had been packed up and placed on an armory rack. The place of the cross sword was empty, and only a note was pasted.

"I love this sword, what do you need to build one just for me?"

"Wait a minute, my skills still need to be strengthened."

Lu Yuan wrote a line on the back and left. It's not a pretext, he really had that idea.

Creating "Cloud Chopping" made his craft (forging) break through again, becoming level 41! Above level 30, every upgrade is considered a major breakthrough, and there are many insights that need to be carefully considered.

Crafting weapons is not the same as crafting armor. The armor has the experience accumulated by thousands of years of cold weapons on the earth to learn from him, and those that have been handed down to this day must be the most essential part. However, weapons are different, the changes of weapons, materials, enemies, craftsmanship, cost, environment, etc., are too great, and it is difficult to say which weapon is the best. What's more, the development of cold weapons in the Pheren World Realm will not be worse than that of the earth.

He wasn't strong enough to craft another artifact.

Making magic items comes at the cost of physical health and longevity, and the vast majority of the magic items he creates now are essentially quasi-magic items, which quickly become ordinary if they are not charged. If you can't find a way to pay for your health and longevity, it will be difficult for alchemy and enchantment to be carried out on a large scale.

The way forward needs to be re-planned.
