Chapter 22: The Dragon's Tooth Workshop
The big warrior walked up to the hunter and triumphantly lit up a line on the box that he didn't recognize: To the most beautiful of Imala, looked at his empty hands, laughed and walked away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The hunter was angry and hateful, and Duke couldn't help but comfort him, and then walked towards the "Dragon's Tooth Workshop" southwest of the royal city.
The Dragon's Tooth Workshop is built on a mountain, and there is a magma well near the center, which provides a stable source of fire for the workshop's forging equipment.
The earliest name of the workshop was "Yongge Blacksmith Shop", and the forest where the royal city is located is the Yongge Forest, which is named after "Yongge", indicating that it was built together with the royal city, and the reason why it was renamed later was because the workshop created a pair of legendary daggers, the Dragon's Tooth Blade.
Duke would come to the workshop every morning to practice his blacksmithing skills as a helper, learn new recipes, and temper his strength through blacksmithing, and after two months of study, he was successfully promoted to an intermediate blacksmith and learned many forging techniques, including how to smelt blue steel.
This is not quite the same as his previous cognition, but it is not surprising to think about it, blue steel is a high-quality material for making equipment, and the elves will definitely try to find how to make and use it, and after so many years of development, it is reasonable to remaster it.
Now that he had a way to smelt blue steel, his first thought was to rebuild the Broken Bone Shovel, which would definitely increase its attack power if it was made into a spear or spear.
Unfortunately, according to Doyle, the master of the workshop's blacksmith furnace, the Broken Bone Shovel was created by the method of "Scales of the Bright Moon", which was lost two or three thousand years ago, and it is not impossible to rebuild it into other weapons, and the quality of the weapon produced can still maintain a sophisticated level, but it will lose the attribute of "Broken Bone".
According to Doyle, the bone shovel was often used by chefs in the past to break the bones of various animals, including dragon bones!
Dragons are not all kind, the elves consider allies are generally the sacred dragon and its closer side branches, and the dragon is lustful, I don't know which day and which kind of romance will pass, maybe there will be tyrannical offspring, and, like the black dragon, the green dragon, the red dragon, among the three, the good character is rare, so at that time in the elf recipe, dragons are not uncommon.
As the most powerful race on land, they rely on dragon magic and powerful physical magic defenses, and the Broken Bone Shovel can cut off the bones of dragons, and it is obvious how powerful the attribute of "broken bones" is.
So Duke immediately extinguished the idea of recasting it.
Returning to the Dragon's Tooth Workshop and greeting Doyle and the other blacksmiths, Duke made his way to the anvil he was accustomed to.
The elves are a race that never forgets to pursue art and enjoyment, even if they are a workshop that deals with the metal of the furnace every day, and the place where he and the other blacksmiths build their equipment is near the window, where the air is fresh and the light is bright, and there is a clear stream outside the window, and there are willow-like plants on the side, the breeze blows, the leaves are blowing, and the stream reflects the sun, which is refreshing.
It was a pleasure to work in such an environment, and, because of his skill, Doyle would pay him two gold coins a day.
This amount of money can't be compared with the income brought by crystal moon cakes, but firstly, the purpose of his coming here is not for money, and secondly, there will be another source of income when he works here, identification.
Blacksmiths naturally understand the attributes of the equipment they forge, but there will always be subtle differences in the forging process, and this difference sometimes brings some special attributes to the equipment, so after buying the equipment, most people will ask the appraiser to appraise it, and he will charge an appraisal fee ranging from two to thirty gold coins according to the difficulty and attributes of the appraisal.
As a result, it became his second largest source of income.
Of course, for him now, compared to cultivation, income is in second place, and as soon as he stands in front of the anvil, he immerses himself in forging iron.
This kind of hammer swinging action looks monotonous and boring, but it can exercise the stability of the force, as well as the most subtle control of strength, and at the same time, the process of removing impurities from the metal and finally becoming the highest quality metal block is also a test and tempering of his mental strength.
Today, he tried again to make ordinary iron blocks with magma to give it the fire attributes, if successful, this would take his forging skills to the next level, and the increase in his mental power was equivalent to a high-level forging recipe.
After two hours of exploration, although he was unsuccessful, he became more and more familiar with the trace of fire attribute in the metal, and when he picked up a piece of red-hot metal, he suddenly had a strong premonition that he could succeed this time!
He was wielding a hammer and slamming it on the red-hot iron with some wonderful rhythm, when a warrior with a faint flame pattern under his eyelids came to the workshop with a young elf wearing glasses, and then walked straight up to him, and exclaimed, "You liar, will you be able to identify it!"
Duke frowned, but didn't stop his movements, and asked, "What's wrong?"
He recognized the other party as Aiden, who had come to buy weapons yesterday, and the tiger power giant axe he bought, after his appraisal, had a very superb attribute: double strike, so he charged him an appraisal fee of thirty gold coins.
Aiden reached out to pull him, and said angrily, "What's the matter? You said that my axe has the property of double blows, where is it? You tell me where?"
Duke dodged by flipping over the iron block, and patiently explained: "I already told you yesterday that this attribute is relatively hidden, and you can only activate this attribute when you find out its 'character' and use it very skillfully......"
Aiden pointed to his nose and said anxiously and angrily: "You can see clearly, I am a warrior, can I still not know the weapon in my hand?! Yesterday I swung no less than 2,000 times, and once you said that you didn't hit twice, you still want to lie to me? I specially brought the appraiser of the 'Eye of Power' over this time, Fast, just to expose you big liar!"
Hearing the quarrel here, except for the great blacksmith Doyle, who was still polishing the breastplate in his hand, the other blacksmiths looked over.
At this time, Fass stepped forward and said elegantly: "Hello, I am the third-level appraiser of the 'Eye of Power', can I ask who you learned from the appraisal knowledge?"
"My teacher was Gallo," Duke said. ā
At this time, the great blacksmith Doyle raised his head and said suspiciously, "Blind Gallo?"
Duke said, "It's him." ā
Doyle turned to Aiden and Fast and said, "Since he is a student of Gallo, you should still believe him!"
Aiden's face flushed with anxiety, and Fast patted his hand, still insisting: "Respected furnace master, I don't doubt what you mean, but I have soaked it in the finest manifestation liquid, and I have not detected that this axe has the ultimate attribute of double strike, so I still want to ask this Mr. Duke to prove it!"
Doyle waved his hand to signal that he would not interfere, and then continued to polish the breastplate with a small file.
Fast turned to Duke.
Duke shook his head and sighed, "Then you wait for me for half an hour." ā
Aiden glared and was about to say something, but Fast patted his hand, stopped him, and then smiled: "Okay, we'll wait for you here for half an hour." ā
Duke stopped talking, hammering the pieces of iron on the anvil again.
Half an hour passed quickly, and he grabbed the half-shrunken piece of iron with his clamp and put it into the bucket next to him, and a pleasant and active quenching sound sounded, and finally the iron that was clamped out did not have the usual gray-white metallic luster of iron, but showed a dull red.
Aiden pouted, but Doyle looked up and scrutinized.
Duke smiled with satisfaction, because of the other party's interruption, in just half an hour, he consumed most of his mental power, but in the end he still captured a trace of fire attribute!
With the joy of success and the speed of recovery of his spiritual power like a rising tide, he walked to the equipment rack next to him, picked up a shield and threw it to Aiden, reached out for his axe, and asked, "Is it okay?"
Aiden held his shield in front of him, glared at him, and said, "Come on!"
Duke glanced at the axe in his hand, he had already identified it once, and the deeply hidden and complex spoon-shaped vein was no longer a secret to him, he shook his head, and slashed through it with an axe.
When it sounded, nothing changed.
Aiden snorted and roared, "Come again!"
Duke slashed through with another axe, but it still didn't change.
Aiden looked at him contemptuously and shouted, "Come on, I'm going to see ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Duke strode forward, let out a low roar, a silver glint in his eyes, and then swung his axe a third time.
With a proper sound, the moment the axe slashed on the shield, it suddenly bounced up automatically, and then slashed at the same position with the same force and speed just now.
With a pop, he let go of his hand and stepped aside.
Aiden looked at the axe standing on the shield in disbelief, and a small blade was exposed behind it, and this axe actually cut through the shield!
Duke looked at the time, it was time for him to help out in the kitchen and eat by the way, and when he had two hours of cooking, he would go to the library and practice the druid's spells in the evening.
That's basically what he had in the day.
After saying goodbye to Doyle, he walked out the door.
At this point, Aiden and Fast came back to their senses, and they chased after each other almost at the same time, and they shouted as they ran, "Wait, how did you do that?"
In the workshop, Doyle rubbed the last piece of iron that Duke had forged in his hand, a look of love on his face.
