"Ding!~Ding!~Ding!~Ding!~"

The hammer struck down and made a rhythmic clanging sound on the stone platform, and a red-hot rough billet continued to jump on the stone platform under the hammer strike, gradually turning into the shape of a sword.

"Huhu!~" After two breaths, Luo Xi picked up the rough blank with the basic shape and observed it in his hand, not bad, it already looked a little bit.

This was Hawke's blacksmith shop, and he had been here for two weeks, and after walking into the shop that day and talking to him, he offered the idea of apprenticeship here.

The manufacture of a witchcraft can not only be completed by adding a few runes to the material, but also the basic forging part of the weapon also directly affects the power of the runes on the witchcraft.

After carefully looking at the prototype of the long sword in his hand, the more Luo Xi looked at it, the more he liked it, as long as he came a few times, the forging of the rough billet was basically completed, and then it could be carried out...

"You can't do that. ”

At this moment, Hawke's voice came from the side, compared to the satisfaction in Rosie's eyes, he just frowned and shook it, and without waiting for Rosie to ask questions, he took the rough billet and put it in the bucket next to him.

When Hawke took the sword out of the bucket again, there were already tiny cracks visible to the naked eye, all over the middle of the sword.

"Your focus is wrong, you can't always use the power in one position, you have to distribute it evenly, you see that the middle section has been tempered by you too many times, and the internal structure has been tightened to words, so that it looks strong on the outside but is actually very brittle, and it will be easy to break after encountering the collision of forces, and lack toughness. Hawke replied very professionally

Striking iron is not as easy as imagined, the landing point, strength, time, these are all particular, and a mistake in a certain mitigation will directly lead to the failure of weapon forging.

In the past two months, Luo Xi has experienced countless failures, and he thought that with the support of so many successful mothers, there should be a good result this time, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and Luo Xi couldn't help but be a little depressed for a while.

Seeing this, Hawke next to him hurriedly encouraged: "Roxi, you are already very good, it is not easy for people who have no foundation at all to master the forging skills in a short period of time, the average apprentice must first take a sledgehammer for a year and a half to be familiar with the strength of the hammer before he can barely get started, and you have already made a rough billet in two weeks, which is already very remarkable." ”

Hawke's temper was not as irritable as he seemed at the door that day, but in fact Roshi found him to be a very patient teacher, and he would answer any questions that came up in the forging in detail, helping to find the reason for the failure.

"Well, I know, nothing in the world can be learned in a day or two, thank you Master Hawke. Roshi nodded, in fact, he was just a little depressed, compared to the kind of magic experiments that exploded at every turn, such a failure was already very mild.

"It's good that you think like that. Hawke nodded and complimented, "No wonder you can have the strength of a high-level knight at a young age." ”

Hawke has a condition for recruiting apprentices, that is, he must have the strength of a trainee knight or above, which Roshi showed to Hawke when he came here to apply that day, and he really surprised the old man at that time.

After a pause, Hawk pointed to the pile of iron like a hill next to him and said, "Don't rush to shape the rough blank first, you can polish these iron pieces into rough blanks in the past two days, and when these are finished, I will teach you how to shape the rough blanks." ”

Pleasant and pleasant is a point, but Hawke's sternness is also extraordinary, since Roch began to study here, every link basically had to be repeated thousands of times, regardless of whether he had mastered the skills or not, but also thanks to Roch has become accustomed to the same boring, ordinary people may not be able to persevere.

"Well, okay. ”

Gradually, the people of Blacksmith Street learned that there was a knight in Old Hawke's shop, and he became an apprentice to Old Hawke.

The identity of the knight is very noble, and the arrival of Roshi naturally caused a lot of sensation, at the beginning, there were often nearby residents who came to visit, and many nobles mistakenly thought that he was a down-and-out knight, and came to the door in the name of buying weapons to express the meaning of solicitation.

It was evident that old Hawke was nervous every time these nobles came, and that a nobleman could give Rosie far more than he could afford a blacksmith shop on the verge of closure.

However, for the fact that these nobles invited Roxi, Old Hawke never showed any intention of obstructing him, and respected Roxi's opinion very much.

And Roxi's side naturally wouldn't be interested in the conditions offered by these nobles, and after being annoyed a few times, he simply asked Old Hawke to stop them at the door.

After a few times, the number of people who came here gradually decreased, but there were also strange rumors spreading, most of them said that Roshi didn't have the strength of a knight at all, and so on, but he was just an impostor, so he didn't dare to agree to the invitation of the nobles, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, how could a knight run to work for a blacksmith?

Luo Xi, who was bored with these rumors and was working in the blacksmith shop, didn't hear them, and even if he did, he probably didn't have the heart to pay attention to them at this time.

Everything seems easy, but in reality it is not as simple as imagined, I thought that a small iron strike was not a problem at all for himself who could even remember complex rune spells, but it was not until he actually did it that Roshi found out what it means to be interlaced like a mountain.

There is basically no shortcut to the work of striking iron, which is comparable to the magic pattern of the engineering drawing, Luo Xi can redraw it at a glance, but the iron can only be hammered down, and experience is accumulated through the power transmitted back, the vibration frequency of the rough blank when striking, the sound, etc.

The job of a blacksmith has always required a lot of patience and time, plus staying by the stove every day, the little fresh meat went in and the black-faced uncle came out, take Luo Xi as an example, when he first went in, the skin was fine and tender, and after being roasted by the stove several times in the past two days, he also became gray-faced, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear.

There is not much else to Luo Xi, compared to ordinary people, his time is indeed not small, and as for patience, wizards have always been not lacking.

Coupled with the professional mentor of Hawke, Rohi patiently beat day by day in this blacksmith shop, slowly accumulating experience, and in the process, he unexpectedly had a new receipt...
