CHAPTER XVI

The three examiners circulated the assessment certificate of Canglan, and after confirming that it was correct, they said the conditions for the assessment: "Make a spear of black iron." ”

After listening to this, Canglan was overjoyed, because for him, this was not a difficult topic. But just then, the door to the workshop was pushed open, and a man walked in, followed by two people. Judging by their attire, all three of them were swordsmiths

"Wait. ”

The man at the head spoke, and his name was Gu Gaofei. Seeing this, the three examiners immediately got up and greeted him. From their conversation, Canglan learned that the person in charge was the inspector of the assessment.

"This assessment is up to me, and it's still about making spears, but with some conditions. Gu Gaofei said, "Use black iron to make a spear with thunder attributes. ”

Black iron is just an ordinary metal ore, it doesn't carry any magic power, and it can't inspire magic power, but it's not impossible to make a weapon with magic power. Swordsmiths can make weapons magical for a short period of time by infusing them with mana. This method is only used when there is an urgent need for a weapon with a specific stat.

"Master Gu, this is just a primary assessment. One of the examiners said.

Gu Gaofei ignored the examiner and said to Canglan, "Can you do it?"

Canglan saw that he was not good, nodded, and then Gu Gaofei sat in the position of the previous examiner.

After taking out the black iron from the side, Canglan put it into the furnace and burned it. Seeing this, Nagu Gofei shook his head, because if he didn't pass through the magic circle, he wouldn't be able to meet the requirements. To Gu Gaofei's surprise, Canglan did not wait for the black iron to melt, but directly engraved a broken magic circle. Looking at that magic array, Gu Gaofei showed a fanatical expression, this is the sword casting magic array that Gu Xinghe dreamed of.

Canglan concentrated, although he was not good at forging swords with magic arrays, but this time he must not fail. Black iron turns into molten iron under the influence of flames and circles. At this time, the most crucial step is to inject the magic into the molten iron. The vicissitudes of heaven mobilize heavenly workers. A broken part slowly revealed, it was the place engraved with the magic of lightning, and the magic power of the waves turned into wisps of electric light, which was slowly injected into the molten iron.

Canglan injected most of his magic, and although he didn't touch the other side, Canglan still felt obvious discomfort.

The molten iron slowly turned into the shape of a spear, as if it were in a circle. Gu Gaofei has been paying attention to Tiangong, but he has no memory, because there is no way to remember the magic circle by watching others use it, which is a well-known thing.

The sword-forging continued, and the outline of the spear was fully out and emitting an electric glow. But this is not possible, the electric light cannot be leaked, this spear has a limited reserve of mana, and once it is used up, it is just an ordinary spear. The heavenly work was still twisting, and after a few moments, the magic was completely locked in the spear.

At this time, the spear was fully completed.

Canglan held the spear in his hand, insisting on feeling the magic in the body of the spear, and at the same time there was a faint killing intent in his heart.

Gu Gaofei took the spear from Canglan's hand, showing a slightly surprised expression, but it quickly disappeared again.

"No, I can't. Gu Gaofei placed the spear on the table, and the previous examiner picked up the spear and examined it.

"What's the problem?" Canglan asked.

"What do you think?" Gu Gaofei looked at the examiners on the side. That examiner was just a small role in the Sword Forgers Guild, and after seeing Gu Gaofei's intentions, he naturally didn't dare to disobey.

"No, this weapon is flashy, and it's almost as good as an ornament. ”

Hearing that his weapon was evaluated like this, Canglan was naturally unhappy, not to mention that at this time, Canglan's magic power was not much left, and the killing intent in his heart was looming.

"First of all, I don't think there's anything wrong with my weapon: second, I don't think it's fair. Canglan said, "Why is my assessment content more complex than others?"

"Haha. Gu Gaofei laughed, "You've come to take the sword casting qualification, what else do you say is fair? Sword casting is an unfair profession in the first place, and you can enjoy a lot of privileges. It is for this reason that people now want to take a swordsmith qualification, but these people don't love swordsmithing at all, they just want a name, so we will increase the difficulty of the primary assessment to raise the threshold, if people like you can become swordsmiths, then what's the point of the title of swordsmith?"

Gu Gaofei stamped an unqualified seal on the assessment certificate of Canglan, "Go back and practice for a few years." ”

Canglan was furious, but by this time several guards had already come to his side, led him out of the workshop, and then carried him to the hall in the form of a semi-escort. Seeing Canglan coming out, Jihe Ripple hurriedly went to inquire about the situation, but Canglan's expression had already explained everything.

"Not really. "You won't be able to pass this kind of assessment." ”

Canglan told what happened in the workshop.

"The man is clearly targeting you. "Tell him your master's name and scare him." ”

When he was very young, Luo Yao told Canglan not to tell the master and apprentice to the outside world.

A few qualified people came out of the workshop and handed over their assessment certificates at the front desk, and the service staff at the front desk put the assessment certificates on a magic circle, and then a small hammer pendant appeared from the magic circle. That is the symbol of the swordsmith, a special hammer, with the mark of its owner, which cannot be used as a fraud.

Canglan looked at the little hammer and felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'll help you ask if there's a second chance. ”

I came to the front desk indignantly, and after asking, I got the answer that there is only one chance to assess, and the next assessment will be in a year. At this time, the inspector Gu Gaofei also came to the hall, saw the vicissitudes of the stage in front of him, and laughed loudly.

"Young people nowadays, they don't have the ability to do it, and there are a lot of things. ”

Everyone in the hall looked at the three of them together.

Canglan said, "We just asked, nothing else." ”

"If you have this time, you might as well practice how to forge a sword. No, you'd better do something else, sword forging isn't for you. ”

Many people in the hall knew Gu Gaofei and knew that he had some prestige, and when they heard him say this, they naturally had some opinions about Canglan.

The anger was very strong, and he went up to reason with Gu Gaofei, but Canglan pulled him out of the Sword Forgers Guild.

"You're gone?" asked him.

"What else can I do?" Canglan was also very uncomfortable in his heart, and the ripples were on the side, not knowing what to say.

After thinking for a while, "Yes, the exam lasts for three days in total, I will go to Wentian now, with his father's power, it will definitely be no problem for you to take the exam again." ”

Canglan didn't answer, he acquiesced to this, and quickly let Canglan go back to the hotel, while he himself went to Yaoling Academy.

It was already night when Mo Wentian and Ji came to the hotel, and Mo Yi also came.

Although Canglan and Mo Wentian are not friends in the strict sense, they have experienced some things together after all. After a few greetings, Mo Wentian said that there were some things to talk about alone, and Ji and Mo Yi went to wait outside the door.

"Vicissitudes. Mo Wentian said, "I've already arranged it for you from the Sword Forger Guild, you can go directly to the exam tomorrow, and you can definitely pass." ”

Mo Wentian obviously misunderstood the meaning of Canglan, "I just need to take the test again." ”

"It doesn't matter, I have something else to tell you. Mo Wentian's expression became serious.

Canglan is not a fool, and probably guessed what Mo Wentian was going to say.

"Regarding the mercenary group, we already have a swordsmith, so... There's no way to get you to join. ”

There is not much deviation from Canglan's expectations, but Canglan still feels a little uncomfortable.

"I know it's not good, but my dad has high expectations of me. The implication is that Mo Wentian looks down on the sword forging technique of Canglan. Canglan also understands, after all, he doesn't even have the qualifications of a swordsmith, and he hasn't even passed the most basic assessment. And Mo Wentian is a student of Yaoling Academy, so he is naturally a little arrogant.

"I understand. ”

"Also, I don't want to blame me for this, so..." Mo Wentian looked embarrassed.

"I'll explain to him that I refused myself. Canglan said.

"I'm sorry, you're in a bad mood today, and I'm still here to talk to you about this kind of thing. We're going to leave in a few days, and there's no other time. I'm sorry. ”

Mo Wentian apologized one after another, and he didn't blame him for the vicissitudes.

"Then I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Mo Wentian opened the door, and Ji and Mo Yi waited outside the door. Asked about the situation, Mo Wentian avoided talking about it, and went into the room to ask about the vicissitudes.

"Wentian has already helped me clear up the relationship, I will just go to the exam tomorrow. ”

"I know, I'm asking about the mercenary group. ”

"I told you, but I'll have to think for myself. Canglan said.

"What do you think, I agreed. ”

"I'm not in a good mood today, I'll talk about it in a few days. ”

Helplessly, he didn't say anything more, and left with Mo Wentian.

Canglan stood by the window, looking at the figure of the three people. Just like the previous crowd, they will soon disappear, and may never appear again, Canglan doubts himself a little, and even thinks about whether he will go to tomorrow's assessment. According to Mo Wentian's meaning, as long as he goes, he can qualify, but this goes against Canglan's heart, what he wants is just a chance, but he goes and gets the result directly.

Is your own weapon really bad?

Is there really such a big gap between myself and them?

Can't you really do it?

Ripple also knew that the visitor was gone, so she pushed open Canglan's door and saw Canglan standing by the bed, and the lonely atmosphere also infected her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine. ”

Canglan didn't know where to start, he had always borne everything alone, but now that there was suddenly one more person around him who cared about him, he was a little uncomfortable.

"Is the matter settled?"

"It's solved, just go to the assessment tomorrow. ”

Ripple smiled suddenly, "Then you are still looking out the window, pretending to be deep." ”

Canglan turned around, and Ripple glanced at Canglan before realizing that he was not pretending, and Canglan then also said what had just happened.

Ripple didn't know how to say it, but there was still a little joy in her heart, originally she was still thinking about how to join that mercenary group, but now there is no need for this. But she still has some sympathy for Canglan, after all, he has already experienced a setback today, and now he is coming again, no wonder Canglan is uncomfortable.

"And what are you going to do next?"

"One step at a time. ”

"Whatever, go and take the swordsmith qualification exam first, they don't want you, I want you. Ripple walked over to Canglan and hugged his arm.

Canglan slowly pulled out his arm and leaned to the side.

————

In the Sword Forgers' Guild, a white-haired old man was checking the affairs of today's assessment. And there was a young man standing on the side, who was the examiner of today's Canglan River.

"Did anything interesting happen today?"

"Hmm.... Today....."

The old man put down the document in his hand and looked at the examiner: "What's wrong?"

"Gu Gao Fei he... interfered with the exams. ”

"He's the Inspector, that's his authority. The old man was unimpressed, and began to fiddle with the papers again.

"But that kid can qualify. Gu Gaofei made it more difficult, and after the kid successfully completed it, he forced us to say that the kid was not qualified. ”

"Persecution?" the old man's tone was a little heavy, "What kind of persecution method, you are so afraid of him, so afraid of the surname Gu? This is the Sword Forger Guild, not his surname Gu's territory." ”

The examiner did not dare to speak.

"What's the child's name?"

"Vicissitudes. ”

"Canglan," the old man seemed to think of something, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere." ”

"Also, General Mo sent someone to say that the kid has something to do with his family, and hopes to take the test again. ”

The old man slammed the document on the ground, "What do they think of our Swordsmith's Guild!"

The examiner bowed his head, "The guild has agreed. ”

"Yes, yes, sooner or later, this swordsmith's guild will become their tool. If Luo Yao is still here, I see which of you would dare to toss like this. ”

The old man had no intention of sorting out the documents and sat back in his chair.
