Chapter 396: Master Gathering

Rohr led Abel through the blacksmiths' guild, and dwarven blacksmiths and human blacksmiths bowed down to Abel, and the blacksmith badge on Abel's chest was particularly dazzling here.

"Master Abel, this is the meeting place, according to the rules, you can bring two entourages to observe!" Luo Er looked at Abel with a very eager expression, he works in the blacksmith guild, he is also a blacksmith, and he is already an intermediate blacksmith who is about to enter the level of a senior blacksmith, if he can listen to the exchanges of these masters, he may be able to be promoted to a senior blacksmith soon, and there is further hope.

Abel saw what Luo Er meant, he smiled faintly and said: "Luo Er, I have been fortunate to you along the way, and I almost affected you, if you want, you can enter with me, of course, I have to wronged you to be my entourage!"

"Thank you, Master Abel, thank you for giving me this opportunity!" Luo Er didn't dare to ask for this opportunity openly, but there was a slight hint of meaning in his sentence, he didn't expect Abel to agree at all, this is a gathering of master blacksmiths, even in the headquarters of the blacksmith guild on weekdays, it is rare to be able to talk to any master blacksmith, let alone this opportunity for master blacksmith experience exchange.

Rohr stepped forward and pushed open the door of the hall, the meeting hall was much larger than Abel had imagined, half of the space in the hall was a long table, on either side of which were already sitting twelve dwarves, six humans, two elves, and the most striking thing was the master blacksmith badge on their chests.

Not far behind these master blacksmiths were their retinue, who had no seats, and all stood there.

The other half of the hall was a blacksmith's table, with shelves filled with blacksmith's paraphernalia, and an odd stone stove glowing red.

Of course, this was just a glimpse of Abel's moment, and at this time, when Abel walked in, twenty master blacksmiths of various clans stood up, among which Master Robin, whom Abel had just visited, left the long table and walked over.

"Master Abel, you're late!" Master Robin used the honorific title at this time, not to distance him from Abel, but to improve his status, so that he would not be wronged because he was his junior.

"Master Robin, masters, junior Abel apologizes to you, all the way to the scenery of the Rip Basin, come one step late!" Abel's posture was very low, he bowed down to the twenty master blacksmiths in front of him and said apologetically.

"Master Abel, it's already an honor for you to come to the Master Blacksmith Gathering, sit down and talk!" said a dwarf master laughing, Abel's attitude made these master blacksmiths who were countless older than Abel very satisfied, although they originally had no opinion on the late Abel, and this attitude instantly improved the original impression a lot.

Abel's seat was arranged in the first vacant seat to the right of the main seat, but he did not sit in that seat, because the status of that position was too high, according to the rules of the Holy Continent, the seat at the top of the table was the most noble, and the current seat was vacant.

In addition to the honorable position at the top, the second place is the position on the right, such an arrangement makes Abel a little difficult to accept, there is Master Robin who is two generations higher than him, and he is the youngest here, and he should not sit in that position with reason and reason.

Abel looked around and found Grand Knight Hoover, of course, he should be called Master Hoover here, there was exactly a vacant seat next to Master Hoover, he bowed to the dwarven master who had arranged his place for him, and sat down beside Master Hoover.

Abel, who was seated, found that among the twenty blacksmith masters, he knew only a few, among the dwarf masters, he knew Master Robin, Master Thorin, and three other dwarven masters were the examiners when he conducted the master certification that day, although he didn't know the name, he knew each other.

On the human side, Abel only knew Master Hoover, and the Grand Knight had helped him a lot when he was in the Duchy of Kamai, nodding to the master blacksmiths he knew.

"Master Abel is attending the meeting for the first time, and I will explain to you after some procedures, I am the resident blacksmith Morley of the Blacksmith Guild, and I will host today's meeting!" said the white-bearded dwarven master blacksmith Master Morley in a loud voice.

"I got the news that Master Abel should be the last blacksmith master gathering organized by the Blacksmith Guild, and there are twenty-one masters in this master gathering, which is the largest number in the past ten sessions!" Master Morry's voice was very agitating.

However, except for Abel, the master blacksmith here is a seasoned old man, and he does not respond to the agitation, and Master Hoover, who is next to Abel, said softly in his ear: "There are basically twenty of us participating in each of the ten blacksmith masters, and you participated this time, so it is the most one!"

"What about the other masters?" Abel had heard that there were thirty-six blacksmiths, but there were only twenty here, and sixteen of them had never attended such gatherings?

"The blacksmiths who didn't come here are generally blacksmiths trained by large organizations, and the blacksmith skills mastered by these blacksmiths can't participate in this kind of gathering and exchange!" Master Hoover explained with some disapproval of the blacksmiths.

"Let's go to the first item, the masters will demonstrate their latest achievements, Master Abel, you are participating for the first time, if any of your skills can be disclosed, you can consider whether to demonstrate at your discretion, if you give up the demonstration this time, next time unless you agree to demonstrate your skills, or you reach the level of the blacksmith grandmaster, you can participate in the blacksmith master party again!" Master Morley's voice was still loud, and his expression was very strange when he talked about the level of the blacksmith master.

As soon as Master Morley finished speaking, the master blacksmiths couldn't help but laugh and looked at Abel, who thought that this was a sign of friendship and wanted to see his skills, but he didn't care.

The demos that followed were really eye-opening and taught him a lot of practical skills, but of course these demos didn't explain anything, just a node in a quick and complete build process, and didn't require a demonstration of the whole process.

At this time, Abel also discovered that the strange furnace was the same as the one he had in Rog's camp, which was a ground fire, which showed that the dwarves attached great importance to the blacksmith's flame.

Master Robin's demonstration is to draw a piece of iron into a thread, this technique can be used in the string of the bow and arrow with other materials, so that the string is harder, of course, his demonstration can not let other masters know the special proportion of iron in it, but only provides a direction, if other masters want to study, it will take a long time and energy to conduct a lot of experiments.

Some masters demonstrate adding improved accelerants to the flames, which is a trick and is tantamount to advertising, and if other masters want a more intense flame, they can buy or exchange it.

Most master blacksmiths use the small techniques they find in blacksmithing, and although they are not very important methods, they often play an incalculable role in blacksmithing.

What attracted Abel's attention the most was the two elf blacksmith masters, the elves' strength itself is lower than that of ordinary humans, not to mention the dwarves with strength talents, who can become blacksmith masters, it is conceivable that these two elves need to spend more effort than other blacksmith masters.

The two master elven blacksmiths, who specialize in the making of small objects, especially ornaments, demonstrated the art of combining the melting of multiple precious metals with the art of crafting removable gemstone rings.

The skills demonstrated were basically useless to other blacksmith masters, but Abel believed that these two elven blacksmith masters were the most valuable of all the blacksmith masters, except for Master Robin.

The production of jewelry is also an area that Abel has never studied, and the demonstration of the two elven blacksmith masters at least gave him a research direction, and he also saw that the elven blacksmith master has begun to conduct research on alloys, which should not be a single situation, so if you participate in this kind of gathering more in the future, you may be able to get some alloy research data, which will provide a basis for him to forge more powerful alloy materials in the future.
