Chapter 124: Sword Forging
Flame-blazing molten metal flowed out of the furnace, filling the mold groove that had already been placed below. Ten minutes passed, and the metal liquid quickly cooled down, revealing its swarthy true color, and the black sword body refracted a trace of silver light from time to time under the illumination of the furnace fire, and a closer look could be found that the sword body was evenly covered with silver threads.
The torch easily flipped the groove, and with a loud bang, a heavy sword with a simple style about 2 meters long appeared in front of everyone. Agni placed the heavy sword on the crafting table, and with the hilt of the sword in hand, the hammer flew like a fly, and began to strike the heavy sword.
In the brightly lit blacksmith's workshop, Agni concentrated on tempering the sword blank in his hand, and the hammer weighing dozens of kilograms seemed to be as light as nothing in his hand, and the force used with each hammer blow acted on the sword body in the slightest, colliding with a little spark. The fire's skillful technique, rhythmic percussion, and incessant clanging sound all combine to create a scene that is breathtaking.
Thousands of times of tempering, quenching, and opening, the seemingly ordinary sword blank gradually revealed the edge of the divine weapon in the hands of the fire.
When Agni dipped the heavy sword in a special liquid for the last time to cool it, a knight's heavy sword with a sharp and cold light revealed its cold demeanor.
Agni raised the heavy sword with one hand and looked at it carefully, the length of the heavy sword far exceeded his height, but Agni lifted it effortlessly, and he stared at the sword with a complicated look in his eyes.
The other hand stretched outward, and an apprentice who had already stood beside him obediently placed a beautiful hilt of the sword in his hand.
The hilt of the sword is extremely exquisitely cast, its texture is exactly the same as the blade, and the most surprising thing is that between the two gauntlets, each inlaid with two egg-sized magic crystals, one red and one green, are dazzling.
Agni took the hilt of the sword, bringing it together with the blade, and the two things came together seamlessly with a click.
This is not over, Agni handed the sword to another middle-aged man with a solemn expression, the middle-aged man took the heavy sword without saying a word, immediately put the sword on another workbench, took out a carving knife and engraved a magic array on the body of the sword, this carving knife does not know what material it is made of, under the operation of the middle-aged man, metal fragments fell one after another, and the mysterious magic pattern quickly appeared.
Xiao Yue looked at the magic chakra watch on his wrist, the time on it showed that he still had 1 hour, 23 minutes and 15 seconds to stay in the game, and he didn't know if it was enough time to achieve his purpose today.
However, even if he didn't have a chance today, Xiao Yue felt that it was worth the price to see such a wonderful sword-forging process.
Of course, Xiao Yue would not be foolish enough to rush up and disturb the fire in contemplation at this time. He flew to Cloudsdale and found the Flame Blacksmith Shop when the store was closed, Xiao Yue knocked on the door with the mentality of trying it out, and although the Agni who opened the door was a little unhappy, he still led him into the door after hearing about Xiao Yue's intention.
Xiao Yue was startled when he entered the blacksmith workshop, there were actually several people inside, including 1 mage, 1 knight and the middle-aged man who didn't know what profession he had, as well as two dwarves dressed as apprentices doing chores on the side. Xiao Yue found at a glance that these two NPC mages and knights were definitely not simple, and it could be seen from the standard of clothing and the badges they wore that they were the high-level aristocratic class of Cloud City.
From this incident, Xiao Yue knew in his heart that Agni Fire was by no means as simple as a grandmaster blacksmith, and there must be many secrets hidden in him.
The fire brought Xiao Yue in and left it aside, Xiao Yue had to stay in the corner and wait by himself. Immediately afterwards, he found out that the purpose of these big men coming here was to let the fire forge a knight's heavy sword, this seemingly ordinary thing made Xiao Yue a little speculative in his heart, and he didn't know what bad consequences would be if he saw this seemingly more secret thing.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the engraving of the magic array was over, and the carved magic pattern on the thick sword body faintly revealed silver light, and the whole heavy sword looked radiant.
When the carver had finished his work, he quietly stepped back, and another gray-haired old mage, dressed in a silver robe, looked serene, and his face was full of wrinkles that spoke of the vicissitudes of time.
The old mage stood in front of the workbench, motioned for Agni to pick up the heavy sword and stand aside, and then with a flick of his sleeve, the metal shavings left on the workbench immediately disappeared and became clean. His right hand flicked, and a golden scroll suddenly appeared in his hand, and the careful Xiao Yue noticed that the old mage was wearing a ring on the middle finger of his right hand that was the same as his spatial ring.
The old mage slowly unfolded the scroll, and the light of magic enveloped the entire workbench, and in a moment, a golden magic array appeared on the workbench, and Blaze solemnly placed the heavy sword in the center of the magic array.
With his head held high slightly, his eyes closed, the old mage pressed his hands on the top of the heavy sword, and in an instant, the surging mana power surged throughout the workshop, making people feel as if they were in the rough sea.
Xiao Yue's face changed slightly, this old mage was just empty-handed, and he couldn't use magic wand and other equipment to emit such a powerful magic power at all, Xiao Yue searched through his memory, and he couldn't figure out who this elemental mage who was almost a god of law was.
Under the lure of magical power, the magic array on the workbench began to glow, and at this time, the muttered spell faintly read out of the old mage's mouth: "... The god of flames, please use the power of my element, to give... ”
His voice was very low, Xiao Yue couldn't hear it clearly, but the few spells he heard were enough to subvert his common sense, mages in the dream world need a certain amount of time to chant spells when they launch high-level magic, of course, players don't need to memorize spells by themselves, because these spells are alien languages, so people can't understand them at all, anyway, the system will automatically take over the release, including the system NPC.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue heard a completely understandable spell here today, and it came from the mouth of such an extremely high-level mage, if Xiao Yue could record the current scene and put it in the forum, it would definitely cause a sensation.
The old mage's incantation was quickly finished, and when the last syllable in his mouth faded, the magic array glowed red, and a blazing flame enveloped the sword, tightly wound for a moment, and then miraculously shrank into the sword body in an instant, as if the heavy sword absorbed these flames into the body.
Today is destined to be a day that surprises Xiao Yue again and again, after completing this magic infusion ceremony, the old mage did not stop, he erased the magic array, and took out a new scroll to concoct it in the same way, but this time the magic array emitted a pale cyan light.
Xiao Yue finally understood that this old mage turned out to be a dual cultivator of fire and wind, and the two magic arrays he had launched were to concentrate the fire element and the wind element on the heavy sword, so that the heavy sword had double magic damage.
Xiao Yue exhaled a long breath, it's too powerful, the fire borrows the wind, the wind fuels the fire, the power is self-evident!
Ten minutes passed, and the magic infusion finally ended, and Agni raised the heavy sword again, this time with the handle in both hands, and his expression was extremely solemn. After being blessed by magic, the heavy sword shines brightly and constantly exudes a strong magical aura.
Agni twisted his hands and retracted them, and the heavy sword leaned on his shoulder, and it turned out that the blade touched his ** body, and blood immediately splattered.
Before Xiao Yue could exclaim in surprise, a large stream of blood flowed along the sword body to the hilt of the sword, and his hands were soaked in flames!
The blood flowed more and more, and the fire let out a deep cry, swinging the heavy sword and slashing at a large iron bar on the ground, the iron bar up to 10 centimeters thick was immediately broken in two, and the blood on the hilt of the sword flowed backwards, staining the entire sword body.
The red and blue light appeared one after another, almost burning that people couldn't open their eyes.
"It's done!"
The knight, who had been watching, shouted in surprise.
After the shining light of the heavy sword ended, a swirling light appeared on Agni's body, this light Xiao Yue was very familiar with, it was the upgraded light.
"Congratulations Master!"
Everyone present? Congratulations in unison.
Agni Fire put his hands flat on the heavy sword, and all the brilliance of the heavy sword at this time dissipated without a trace, deep and restrained, in Xiao Yue's opinion, this was even more powerful.
Agni smiled slightly, but tears overflowed from his eyes.
According to Xiao Yue's knowledge, Agni Huo should have been a grandmaster-level blacksmith before today, and this upgrade meant that he had jumped to the rank of great grandmaster second only to the craftsman god.
In the current fantasy world, it can be seen from the life occupation ranking that the highest level of known blacksmiths is only some high-level blacksmiths trained by large alliances and war groups, as long as they are willing to spend money, the early advancement of life professional players is very fast, but when it comes to the advanced stage, the difficulty of its promotion is very great, and the financial resources of those large alliances have not burned a grandmaster.
It is said that even if it is a professional player of the same level, the success rate of playing equipment will be different depending on its experience, and the senior blacksmith who is about to rise to the grandmaster level also has a very low probability of hitting green equipment.
And what about the Grand Master? Xiao Yue estimated that there would be no problem in playing legendary equipment, and maybe there was a probability of playing epic equipment, you must know that the craftsman god can play an artifact!
For a moment, he was eager to see what kind of amazing attributes this advanced masterpiece that had condensed all the hard work of Agni Fire.
