Chapter Ninety-Three: Knife Casting Skills

"There are many characteristics, but it may not be a good knife?" Shi Xuanyu thought thoughtfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Actually, there are a lot of knives like this that we usually have here as knife casters, and these knives are all purchased and researched by us. Like some people, because they are waste swords after condensing their war swords, they are destined to have limited cultivation of war swords, so they are willing to sell their war swords to our sword casters. Elder Fang said with a smile.

Shi Xuanyu nodded, puzzled. "Elder Fang, what you and I have talked about so far seems to have nothing to do with the casting knife, right? What I want to know is, why do we knife casting masters want to cast knives, and what is the purpose of casting knives?"

"Good question. The reason why we swordsmiths forge knives is related to the characteristics and abilities of the sword. Elder Fang said with a smile. "For example, if a sword walker cultivates the flame ability of the sword, when he cultivates the flame ability of the sword to a certain level, if he wants to continue to improve, he needs to strengthen the sword itself. As mentioned before, the battle knife is divided into the battle knife itself and the battle knife ability, and when the battle knife ability is cultivated to a certain level, the war knife itself must be strengthened in order to continue to improve the war knife ability. And we swordsmiths cast knives in order to improve the sword itself. ā€

"The purpose of forging a knife is to improve the battle knife itself?" Shi Xuanyu listened a little ignorantly.

"You come with me. Elder Fang directly took Shi Xuanyu to the place where the knife was cast on weekdays.

"I've been helping a guard of our 14th Battalion forge a knife these days, and you can see this knife, and the ability in the knife is a relatively common ice ability. The next thing I'm going to do is to forge some knives with ice properties, and then use the knives I forged to improve the quality of the knives themselves. As Fang Lao spoke, he began to forge a knife in front of Shi Xuanyu.

I saw that Fang Lao picked up a sledgehammer covered with marks.

Airplanes~

The marks on the sledgehammer lit up, and a cold cold air rose from the hammer. And the old man in the back directly swung the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it on a piece of cold iron in front of him.

Clang!

Fang Lao's hammer fell, and the cold iron in front of him actually changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it only took a few seconds to change to form the outline of the knife.

Clang!

Fang Lao dropped another hammer, and the change speed of the cold iron in front of him suddenly accelerated, and it looked like it was already a real knife.

Clang!

When Fang Lao's third hammer fell.

Cold air began to appear on the knife, and it was directly a knife with ice characteristics.

Shi Xuanyu on the side looked a little dazed. "That's it...... It's as simple as that?"

Originally, Shi Xuanyu thought that it would take a lot of time to cast a knife, but he didn't expect that just a few simple swings of a hammer would already form a knife.

"Simple?" said Fang Lao angrily. "Of course it's easy for you to look like that. Do you know that each of my hammers contains more than 20 kinds of knife casting skills, and at the same time, I also have to urge the ice marks on the hammer of the knife casting? These are things that take a lot of time and effort to master. ā€

Shi Xuanyu nodded.

This casting knife seems to be very simple, but there are a lot of things that need to be mastered, and it is naturally impossible to make it as simple as it seems.

"Usually the skill of a knife caster is judged by the number of swings he has when casting a knife, and the fewer swings he has, the higher his knife casting attainment. Like my master's sword-casting attainments, this kind of knife can be just a hammer from his old man. Elder Fang said. "And like those who have just become a knife caster, it takes at least ten or twenty hammers to complete the casting. ā€

"One hammer is good?" Shi Xuanyu was surprised.

Originally, Fang Lao's success in casting a knife with three hammers had already surprised Shi Xuanyu, but he didn't expect that there was an existence in front of Fang Lao that could successfully cast a knife with one hammer.

"After casting the knife, it's time to melt the knife. Elder Fang said. "As long as the knife I forged is integrated into the sword, the quality of the knife can be improved. Of course, since this knife is not yet to the point where I need to forge it specifically, I only need to forge a knife with the Ice characteristic. ā€

"Special casting?" Shi Xuanyu wondered.

"Yes. A sword of the Commander level requires a special forge. At that time, the materials required for casting were not only expensive and scarce, but also the casting knives would take longer, so it was not so simple to complete with a few hammers. Elder Fang said.

"I see. Shi Xuanyu nodded, now that he finally had a comprehensive understanding of the knife caster.

"You have an innate prowess for sword viewing, and I'd love to see if you have something that surprises me when it comes to forging knives. Later, I will first guide you to urge the marks on the hammer, and then I will guide you to learn the knife casting technique. Elder Fang made arrangements.

"Understood. Shi Xuanyu nodded.

On the same day, Shi Xuanyu began to learn all kinds of patterns on the hammer under the guidance of Fang Lao.

According to Fang Lao's guidance, Shi Xuanyu learned that the marks of each casting knife hammer could produce various kinds of marks according to the urging method. For example, if you want to forge a knife with ice characteristics, you need to urge the ice mark, and if you want to cast a knife with fire characteristics, you need to urge the fire mark.

Knives with different characteristics require different marks.

And to become a knife caster, it is natural to master all the pattern urging methods.

While learning all kinds of pattern urging methods, Fang Lao was also teaching Shi Xuanyu knife casting skills.

This pattern urging method and knife casting technique, if you learn Shi Xuanyu separately, you don't find it difficult, but once the two are combined and used, it will be much more difficult.

At this moment, Shi Xuanyu realized how difficult it was to have a variety of skills in one hammer like Fang Lao.

Meanwhile.

When Shi Xuanyu was learning to cast knives.

Shi Xuanyu's name also spread among the camps of the military hall.

After all, many people had seen Shi Xuanyu's almost killing a guard before, and it was impossible to hide it. Although Shi Xuanyu has now joined the guards, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with this matter. However, when the news that Shi Xuanyu followed Elder Fang to learn to forge a knife came out closely, there were no more guards in the entire military hall who were dissatisfied with Shi Xuanyu, even if someone was dissatisfied, they were also dissatisfied in their hearts, and on the surface, no one of the guards had the intention of being dissatisfied with Shi Xuanyu. Even now, every day, many guards deliberately try to curry favor with Shi Xuanyu, even if they don't deliberately curry favor, they will not be enemies with Shi Xuanyu.

These guards are not stupid.

None of them would be guilty of such a trivial matter, and one could become a swordsmith.

For them, the Sword Forge Master, is the lifeblood of their sword.

Don't look at Fang Lao and their sword casting masters now to help them forge knives in the military hall, in fact, this is not an obligation to cast knives, every guard goes to Fang Lao and them to help cast knives, it depends on whether Fang Lao is willing or not. If they refused, even the commander of the guard army was not qualified to say anything, this was what Elder Fang and the other swordsmiths had said before they joined the military hall.

Swordsmiths are usually only guilty of pleasing and not coercing.

There were once some pretentious sword walkers who threatened the swordsmith to forge knives for them, and the end was ...... Their swords seem to have been enhanced, but they will suddenly lose their ability when fighting.

Usually the strength of the sword walker lies in the ability of the sword, if you suddenly can't use the ability of the sword in battle, then you will face death!

The swordsmith itself is mainly to study the sword and improve the sword.

To threaten a swordsmith?

It's a death search!

The knife caster can't even defend against the yin people.

Unless there is a great grudge, ordinary people will not easily sin the swordsmith.

Even if it was a sword-casting apprentice like Shi Xuanyu, who might become a swordsmith, they wouldn't dare to commit it.
