Chapter 7: Sword Forging
In the early morning of the next day, Ping'an came to the house where Feng You usually helped the villagers build iron tools early in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng You had already begun to build the bellows, move the stove, and on the table next to him was a piece of ore with a cyan sheen.
"Uncle Feng Youzao, is this stone on the table the good material my father said?" Heian had never seen this kind of stone in his previous life, and he had only heard of this strange material from the mouth of Master Kane, so he asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the worst stone in the Adaman stone, but even the worst material is not something that ordinary people can use. ”
"At the beginning, this stone was picked up by chance ten years ago when your father led a mercenary group to take on a mission to hunt strange beasts in the mountains, near an Adaman stone mine. Fortunately, it was not discovered by the forces that ruled this mine, otherwise it would not have been possible to get out alive if the ore was not handed over. Your father didn't know the goods at the time, but fortunately, I was born as a blacksmith, and I recognized him so I didn't miss this opportunity!" Feng You sighed while recalling.
"Is this ore scarce?" asked Ping'an.
"Of course, in the territory of our human race, this kind of Adaman stone vein can be counted with a pair of fingers, and each of them is famous! Only the most powerful force has the strength to dominate a vein, but only the Holy See occupies five pieces. Moreover, this kind of ore is not easy to mine, and most of the hollowing out of a mountain is just ordinary mortal iron, and Adaman stone is one in a million. The better quality of the Adamane Stone is even rarer!"
"The Adaman Stone has the strange ability to absorb and store the magical elements between heaven and earth. And the texture is extremely hard, and the weapons created are indestructible and not easy to damage. If it is inlaid with a magic crystal that has burned magic moves, it can release the magic elements stored in the Adaman stone through the crystal, and convert it into magic to release it to strengthen the combat power!"
"At the same time, the magic elements and hardness levels that can be gathered and stored through the Adaman Stone are also divided into four grades, and the color changes are the worst inferior grade - bronze, the lower grade - dark green, the middle grade - star orange, and the upper grade - dark red. It is rumored that there is also the legendary dark black, but no one has ever seen it. The weapons and armor created from it are also divided into four grades, which are called: Praise, Valor, Fear, and Legend. ”
"This stone is considered a defective product, only the size of a wooden basin, but it can also be worth hundreds of pope coins, if it is a little bigger, I will build a heavy sword for your father at the beginning! Tell me, what kind of weapon do you want!" Feng You, who was born as a blacksmith, has some research on weapon ores, and it is also popularized for Ping'an.
"Then let's build two swords!" replied quickly without hesitation.
"Most of the people who practice martial arts in this world use heavy swords, the heavy sword body is long and wide, slashing like a heavy hammer, both offensive and defensive, and it is easy to kill insects, why do you want a long sword?"
"Uncle Feng You, didn't you say that the stone is not enough to make a heavy sword, the long sword is not such a waste stone, and it is not suitable for me to hold a heavy sword when I am small, right?"
"Yes, you have thought about it, and you don't have to regret it in the future!"
"No regrets!"
"Then let's get started, you have to be a helper for me, go get a few buckets of water!"
"Okay!"
......
Towards night, Feng Youtan stood by the fire with his upper body exposed, his dark arms and face, under the reflection of the fiery red fire, like the vicissitudes of life and majesty of the statue of a great man.
He skillfully held the iron tongs in his left hand, accurately and steadily picked up a piece of red-burned sword in the stove, and placed the sword on a waist-high iron pile, his right hand grasped the fist-like hammer, and the hammer with a strength of thousands of pounds smashed sonorously on the red sword with a hammer, and the hot sparks flew everywhere, and the sparks were always extinguished instantly. After repeating the hammer dozens of times, he skillfully picked up the flattened and blackened sword and put it into the pool next to the furnace, and the sound of "flutter, flutter" sounded with the churning pool water.
"A pair of sword pi has already been outlined, but it will take some time to polish it carefully! The rest is all fine work! Okay, that's all for today!" Feng You wiped his sweat and looked a little tired.
"Uncle Feng You's sword-forging skills are really extraordinary!" Ping'an observed here for a day, and was very moved to see Feng You working so hard.
"Of course, I grew up in a blacksmith shop, and if your father hadn't kidnapped me, I would have been a blacksmith for the rest of my life. However, if you want to play a good iron, you can't really play without a certain amount of strength, and I am now considered a beginner silver knight strength, and I can barely get this stone with a thousand catties of strength between my hands. If you give me a piece of low-grade Amanda stone, I really can't knock it. So you remember, but any blacksmith who can create a peerless weapon must also be a powerful man, and all forces will make friends! There are many benefits! Do you think you are interested in learning to strike iron with me?"
Feng You stared at Ping An with a wicked smile. The last sentence reveals the ultimate purpose of these words, and I want to be a peerless genius master.
"Well, let's wait until I grow up!"
"Okay, if you want to learn to strike iron one day, remember to come to me! It's so late that you should go back! You don't need to help in the future, I'll call you when the sword is cast!"
"Okay! Uncle Feng You!"
......
Time flies, the half moon has passed in a snap of a finger, and Ping An is cultivating in a rocky place in the back mountain. I saw a large stone of thousands of catties being thrown out of the air safely, and it hit the ground with a loud noise.
Now Ping An has made a new discovery about the blood mist, and when the mind is highly concentrated, a large amount of blood mist can be instantly transferred from the mind to gather at a certain point in the body, and when it is gathered in the arm, it can instantly burst out several times the usual strength. It was enough for Ping An to instantly exert his strength to throw the boulder so far.
At the same time, it can also make the blood mist instantly gather in the body for a moment, making the convergence place suddenly as solid as a rock, and it is difficult for sharp weapons to cause any damage, as if wearing a layer of invisible armor. Of course, the side effects are also very obvious, and after one application, the energy will be very exhausted, and it will take a long time to recover before you can use it again.
"Peace, peace!" After throwing the big stone, Ping'an was sitting cross-legged on the ground to meditate and regain his energy, when the familiar voice of the second egg came from not far away.
"What's the big deal?"
"Your sword...!the sword is made! and... And you have to call me Brother Erdan!" Erdan said as he bent over and gasped for breath.
"Yes, thank you, Erdan!" Ping'an heard and rushed back to the village without feeling tired.
......
In the iron house, Ping An played with a pair of long swords that he had just gotten, and he loved it very much.
The sword is more than 3 feet long and about an inch wide, and its double blades are flat and sharp, with a rustic bronze sheen. There are no fancy decorations, and the appearance is simple and functional, with a diamond-shaped groove in the center of the hilt for later inlay magic crystals.
"Peace, try it!" Ping Lei also came to the blacksmith shop.
"Okay!" said Ping'an, and slashed at the iron weapon that stood against the wall.
A row of weapons and farm tools were instantly cut off, and they could not be stopped at all.
"Oh, Ping'an, this is the result of a day of iron, I was cut off by your sword!" Feng You was dumbfounded, and said hurriedly.
"I'm sorry!Uncle Feng You, I'm also too excited, but I didn't expect this sword to be so sharp, it should really be as sharp as clay!" Ping'an touched his head and said with a red face.
"Ping, now you know the difference between a Praise Rank weapon and an ordinary Iron Weapon! If an ordinary iron weapon is used with a long sword, it will not be able to hurt the thick shell of the insect for half a point, and only by smashing the blunt blow with a heavy sword can it effectively kill the insect. If all of our Terran weapons were made of Adaman stone, it would be a matter of time before the insects were killed. Ping Lei couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, let's get a name for the sword! This is the first praise grade weapon I've ever built, and maybe the last!" Feng You saw that Ping Lei was about to start telling a story again, and hurriedly interjected.
"Uncle Feng You, it's better for you to come, this is your hard work!"
"No, I'm a rough person, I can't do this thing by naming me, or you come, you come!"
Seeing this, Ping'an didn't give in, stared at the long sword and thought for a moment: "Then call it 'Fengyou Twin Swords'! I will take it to kill the insect and avenge the people who died because of the insect!"
Looking at Ping'an's such a firm gaze, Ping Lei and Feng You couldn't help but feel extremely relieved on the side.
"Peace, you have to wrap the sword on weekdays, and anyone with a little knowledge of the sword made of Adaman stone will recognize it. Now you are not strong enough, if you let people with different intentions keep an eye on you, you will inevitably get into trouble!" Ping Lei reminded from the side.
"Yes, Father, peace and mind!"
"Okay, it's not early today, go home and rest early, it's been postponed for a few days for your sword, and you'll be ready to go tomorrow when you gather early!"
"Okay!"
