When building a house, the first thing to do is to design. Dimensions, columns, position of each beam, and more.

With forging, the process becomes less cumbersome. You don't have to do a fine design for this. But even so, Shirasawa prefers to sketch out the shape and type of objects; It's much easier to do that.

About ten minutes later, a sketch of a sword appeared on the originally pure white sheets. This picture is only available in black and white. However, although Bai Ze is not a genius-level cartographer, he still feels that he can draw passable pictures.

"Now it's time to get started." He announced as he walked towards the pile of metal.

These items are not actually metal, but monster materials that have evolved mutated. The nobles put a lot of effort into removing the armor that strengthened various high-defense monsters such as the Iron Pig. Although they still had a lot of work to do, the amount of materials Bai Ze received was quite large.

At the very least, there is no problem in making dozens of pieces of equipment.

There are black, red, silver, blue, and various other colors of materials with metallic properties. They are all from different monsters. Bai Ze needs to understand the materials before starting to work.

"Let's start here."

He first took a pair of pliers and used them to pick up a piece of scales of a first-order giant snake more than thirty centimeters long.

With a wave of his hand and a movement of his mind, the Flame Ring glowed softly, and a crimson flame flew into the forge. Just as the flames were about to devour everything, Bai Ze hurriedly threw five ungraded soul stones into the furnace.

Unexpectedly, the flames subsided a few minutes and began to devour the soul stones frantically.

"Looks like it worked." Bai Ze was relieved to see that his temporary studio had not turned into a raging hell.

Ordinary flames would certainly have difficulty melting the metal encased in magical power. Therefore, he can only look for a more powerful flame.

The crimson flames of the Blazing Ring were strong, but Bai Ze couldn't control it. Fortunately, Linglong came up with the idea of suppressing the flames with soul stones, and this idea is being perfected.

"There is a mixture of pure soul power and wild mana in the soul stone." Linglong said calmly: "If you eat a soul stone, you will undoubtedly get a strength boost, depending on the purity and grade of the stone. However, this is only temporary, and your body will definitely suffer some kind of backlash. ”

Bai Ze nodded silently. With his current strength, he can resolve almost all the dangers he encounters, and unless he encounters a high-level second-order enemy, no enemy can force him into a desperate situation.

Like a child looking for a new toy, the crimson flames consumed the five soul stones inside the furnace, trying to devour the energy within. Although the soul power and wild mana in the soul stone were being consumed little by little, it would take a long time for the crimson flame to succeed, and when this happened, the flame would become even stronger, and Bai Ze planned to weaken it quickly before then.

Bai Ze pulled the tongs towards the stove while using his own mana to surround the tongs to protect the stove. The magic remaining in the red metal is supposed to fight the crimson flames.

After a full thirty minutes, the magic in the scales finally succumbed to the relentless attack of the crimson flames, allowing the flames to slowly begin to burn around the material.

At this point, the flames of the Blazing Ring have shown great power. This is an undeniable fact. However, it is not particularly useful for enemies with armor with metallic characteristics. Its strength is mainly manifested in dealing with fur-like enemies.

Even after thirty minutes, the red scales showed no signs of overheating. Bai Ze could only sigh secretly and wait patiently.

"Demon flames are so difficult, I can't imagine how long it will take to burn these scales red with ordinary flames." Bai Ze couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It may have to take a few days. Even then you won't necessarily succeed. Linglong said beside her.

Time passed as the two talked. Before I knew it, two hours had passed. At this time, the sky is almost completely red, indicating that the sun is about to set.

The only thing that made Bai Ze happy was that the mana cost he had to protect the Red Flame Metal Pincer wasn't high at all. Consumes up to 1 mana every 10 minutes; And considering that his mana reserves are very high, even if he works for a whole day, he won't consume much.

The red scales had been calcined for an hour and a half. At this point, the material begins to overheat.

"Finally it worked!" Bai Ze couldn't help but cheer.

Bai Ze is not a master of forging, but at least in this matter, he really did it. When he saw that the blood red of the material had turned fiery red, he removed the tongs from the fire, still holding the scales firmly between them, placing them on the anvil.

"Hammer."

“…… I thought you'd have something else...... Here you go. ”

"Put another piece in the fire."

"Okay."

The temperature of the scales had risen high enough, and Bai Ze covered the hammer with mana, making it harder and more powerful, and then swung it with a serious face.

It was a bit challenging at first. After all, Bai Ze didn't know how hard this scale was under its melting point. At first, he swung the hammer with a little light, but as time went on, the force of the hammer increased until he used all his strength.

I can do it. Such a thought flashed through his mind, which made Bai Ze breathe a sigh of relief, and he noticed that the scales with metal attributes were changing their shape little by little under the constant beating.
