Under the witness of Uncle Aina, Leo's ceremony to receive the son was also very simple, Ota respectfully kowtowed three times and made an oath, and Avril was also very happy when she learned the news, and came back with Yuna to make a sumptuous dinner, and made a few jars of wine before leaving. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the banquet, Elle appeared, sharpening Feiye to teach her the skills of bows and arrows and throwing knives, Feiye was also very optimistic about Otta, and planned to take this opportunity to take an apprentice, but Elle had to give up and promised to come down to teach her, but there was always some regret in her heart.

Under Mondello's description, everyone also knows that Otta's body is different from that of ordinary teenagers, even compared to some demon slayer members, only a little distance from Aina and Mondello in their heyday.

Although they also had some suspicions that Otta's body was caused by a previous injury, no one said it, let alone thought about the worst. The stronger and more courageous the Orta, the more orcs he will kill in the future, and the greater his contribution to the human race, which is of course a good thing, and it is too late to be happy.

After the banquet dispersed, Orta followed Leo back to the hut, Leo was obviously happy today, and he didn't drink less, and his tongue was a little unfavorable.

But when he picked up the casting hammer, his mental state immediately changed, just like a retired veteran standing on the battlefield again, still with cold and murderous eyes.

Leo thought for a while and said slowly: "Blacksmiths are divided into two kinds, one is casting, that is, the metal is melted and poured into a mold to cool, that is the lowest method, the quality of the weapons and shields that come out is generally easy to shatter, but the finished product is fast, many blacksmiths and large armies use this method." ”

"And what I'm going to teach you is blacksmithing. That is, continuous tempering, after a certain point is refining, refining is only a basic step before forging, but this step is very important, because its quality determines everything, that is, the quality of the weapon you build, it has been decided when you refine. ”

Leo turned around and took out a piece of iron ore the size of a baby's head from a large trough, and said:

"If this piece of iron ore is refined by an ordinary blacksmith, it can basically produce a fist-sized piece of refined iron, but if you continue to refine it, you must follow my steps and methods to refine a piece of iron essence the size of a walnut. ”

"Fist-sized fine iron, walnut-sized iron essence?" Otawei was stunned for a moment, and he noticed the difference between these two words.

Leo nodded, "Yes, normally speaking, refined iron can only be regarded as primary refining, while iron refining is high-level refining, and the quality between the two is definitely very different." ”

Seeing Ota nodding thoughtfully, Leo continued:

"In fact, there are many people in the human race who can strike iron, if not millions, but hundreds of thousands, and they all claim to be forgers, and they boast in front of people how good their forging techniques are, but in my opinion, they are all half-. ”

Leo pulled out his long knife, reached out and flicked it on it, and asked, "What did you hear?"

Orta thought for a moment and replied, "There was some dullness in the crispness, some trills but it quickly disappeared, as for the rest...... I really can't hear it. ”

Leo's eyes widened as he looked at Orta, as if looking at a monster, "It's not easy for you to hear the hollow sound, I wonder if you've learned to forge iron before." ”

How did Leo know that Ota had been washing his body by the magical thing in his mind every day for the past few days, and his ears and eyes were already a little hot, and he was listening carefully in the dead of night at this time, where could he not hear it?

Outa smiled awkwardly and asked, "Hollow? What is Hollow?"

Leo touched Ota's head and smiled happily: "It seems that I really found a treasure and found a good seedling, and I may be able to create a hand-me-down weapon with snacks in the future, but now... Listen carefully. ”

Leo flicked the long knife again and said: "This dullness is actually called a hollow, because after the impurities are knocked out in the refining process, there are still very tiny pores, that is, its texture has not yet reached the point of being extremely dense. ”

"If you put it on one side of the cold side and the other side of the hot place, you will find that the hot side will seep out of the water droplets, and this stomata cannot be seen by the eye, but it is there. In the forged weapon, the pores are larger, and they can be seen with the naked eye from the fragmented parts, so the blacksmith with a little seniority knows what the void represents. ”

"Iron essence is different, it can be said to be the essence of iron, the texture is also very tight, and the weight is much heavier. Then Leo pointed to the large trough containing the iron ore and continued:

"The iron ore in this trough is two thousand catties, but if you want to refine it all into iron essence, let alone a month, and the refined iron essence is only enough to build this long knife in my hand, weighing about three hundred catties, even if ordinary people can hold it, they will definitely not be able to stand it after a long battle. ”

Only then did Orta have a preliminary idea of the fine iron and the iron spirit, and hurriedly asked, "How powerful can the weapon made by the iron spirit be?"

Leo smiled, pretending to be mysterious and asked Orta to wait for a while, and without much effort, he took out a wooden box from under the bed in the back room, and after opening it was a long package of linen, the inner and outer three layers were very tightly wrapped, and finally when they were all opened, a dagger more than a foot long was revealed.

At first glance, Orta felt that the dagger was extraordinary, the whole body was silvery white, the two blades were extremely thin and flashed with a faint pale blue light, and he felt a chill down his spine when he looked at it.

I saw Leo holding it and taking out a piece of iron ore from the trough, holding it in his hand and gently sharpening it, and suddenly a layer of black skin rolled up and fell to the ground, Leo said with a fluttering eyebrow:

"How about it? This is the iron essence I have saved for many years to build this one, weighing fifty-two catties, which is only three catties less than my long knife, which will definitely cause a sensation if it is sold in the city-state, and it can be sold for two gold crowns. ”

Ota looked at the dagger in a daze, he liked it very much, and at the same time he was shocked, "This is definitely an extremely sharp dagger, killing an orc is as easy as cutting melons and chopping vegetables, but why doesn't Uncle Leo use it himself or sell it for money?"

However, Leo seemed to have guessed, shook his head and said: "There is a lot involved here, and all I can tell you is that there are only a handful of people in the human race who can refine iron essence like me." And these people were all supported by the royal family and nobles, and only served nobles such as viscounts, earls, and princes. ”

"Once this iron spirit dagger falls into the eyes of those who have a heart, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and I will be asked to check my forging skills and origins, but my ancestral forging skills cannot be leaked out, once the nobles know the origin, I will be imprisoned for life even if I don't die. ”

"Huh?" Orta was also shocked, "So serious?"

Leo nodded, "So I can't tell you the origin of this forging technique just yet, but I'll talk about it when you're older." Another point is that the iron ore was purchased at the expense of the village, and I secretly hid some daggers just to make a gift for the future son. ”

Ota looked at the man in his forties in front of him and was moved.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Leo put the dagger away and said, "I'll disguise it to make an ordinary scabbard, and I'll give it to you in three days, as for its weight, it shouldn't be a big problem for you, and you'll get used to it soon." ”

"Thank you, Father-in-law. "Ota was only moved in his heart, Leo had done so much for him.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Leo straightened up.

"The first thing a forger needs to do is to be able to distinguish various metal materials and their quality, and the higher the quality, the higher the yield....."

"The second is the refining of skills, not relying on brute force, to be able to use skill, while controlling the rhythm, which requires the arm to cooperate with the pace, and at the same time there is a method of breathing, this is a set of skills that cooperate with each other, and in this, there are also beating, knocking, sticking, turning, .....collapsing and other mantras"

"Typing tips, the focus is on continuous typing, and there are broken typing. Continuous hitting is to use the power of the hammer to countershock and then add force, the speed is fast and the power is light. Breaking the blow is to hit once with gravity, each time hitting the same place, requiring eye accuracy, hand accuracy, and balanced force, this method can discharge large impurities ....."

"Typing the word, it's all about ......"

In the hut, one taught seriously, the other learned seriously, and from time to time clamped up a piece of red-hot iron ore for on-site drills, and the crisp sound of striking iron was intermittent, and soon it was the second half of the night, and Ota reluctantly went back to rest.

......

Three days later, when Ota solemnly took the iron dagger, it was an ordinary iron leather sheath, and when it was pulled out, the iron was black and lackluster, just like an ordinary dagger, and it could only be felt when he held it in his hand.

It is extremely heavy, and the weight of fifty-two catties is really not light, but fortunately, the strength of Eota at this time is nothing. The other is its sharpness, it can be said that it is as sharp as clay, and the orc leg bones, which were very hard in the eyes of Ota in the past, are no longer enough to see at this time, and with a little force, it is a cut in two. And the double blades of the dagger are also well concealed, and no matter how you use it, it will not show a striking light.

Along with the two ordinary swords that were handed over to Orta, the same quality as the weapons of other demon slayer warriors, they were made of ordinary fine iron.

In this way, during the day's training, Ota cut trees to train his two-handed swordsmanship, which was also interspersed with various punitive exercises, squatting with wood, lifting wood 300 times, running laps with rough wood, etc., because the other team members obviously could not keep up with his strength and endurance, it was only later that Mondello had to let him train alone.

And Ota also has to practice archery with Elle from time to time, holding the trunk of a tree by herself, and Elle stands on it, practicing target shooting with his free movement, etc.

In the evening, Ota came to Leo's hut on time to learn blacksmithing, from three iron ore per night to ten per night, and this cycle was less than a month.

On the day when it was a month of learning to forge, the new camp in Xiluo Village finally ushered in the first team, a 300-person grain delivery army.
