Jingling, before approaching, Lin Manshan could hear the rhythmic beating sound.

The hammer sign, the adobe façade, looking inside, several brick and wood houses are juxtaposed, and the forging chamber with the chimney is shining.

Several blacksmiths were hammering together, and not far away was a wooden frame full of various iron tools.

It's a small blacksmith shop, but it has everything you need.

Lin Manshan walked straight in and walked towards the forging table.

"Children, it's dangerous there, stop and don't come close!" Seeing Lin Manshan walking towards the forging room, a shirtless burly man who was communicating with customers next to the wooden frame hurriedly ran over, frowning slightly and looking down at Lin Manshan, who had stopped and turned around, "Where is your adult?" Didn't they tell you that it was dangerous to be near the blacksmith's forge room? ”

In this kind of civilian gathering area, it is true that there are many children who come to buy ironware, but it is rare to see someone as young as this. The temperature of the forging furnace in the forging room is extremely high, and there are many sundries around, the child is too young and ignorant, and the consequences of accidentally falling into it are unimaginable.

And the child in front of him was still wearing the school uniform of Notting College, if something happened, their blacksmith shop could not afford it, "Could it be that the grass nest is out of the phoenix?" How could there be students from Notting Academy in such a place. ”

The man was scared in his heart and couldn't help but think.

"Hello, uncle!" Lin Manshan greeted politely and said seriously: "I'm here to apply for an apprentice." ”

"Children, don't make trouble. This is not the place for you to come, given your age and this outfit, you should be a student who has just joined Notting Academy, right? It's a great thing to be a soul master, so let's go back quickly. Study hard and become a true soul master as soon as possible is the right thing. The man smiled, his tone soft. He could tell that the children in front of him were all born commoners like him, and they should be short of money, otherwise they would not have come to such a place to apply for a blacksmith apprentice.

Blacksmith is on the mainland, it is the lowest profession, and people with a little status are not looked down upon.

"Uncle, my martial soul is a sword. The teacher said that if you want to use this kind of martial soul well, you have to exercise your arm strength and waist strength, and I feel that striking iron is a good way, which can not only exercise your body, but also make money. Lin Manshan pointed out the meaning and said sincerely, "In addition, I have a lot of strength, since I was a child, I have watched the blacksmith in the village cast, although I don't know how to cast iron, but it is no problem to temper pig iron." ”

"Uncle, if you don't believe me, I can temper a piece of pig iron on the spot right now for you to see. In addition, I am a work-study student at the college, so I have time every afternoon. ”

The man was also stunned after hearing this, and felt that what Lin Manshan said was quite reasonable, striking iron is a manual work, doing more and eating more, and it does exercise a person's waist strength and arm strength, look at his own guys, which one is not big and thick and strong?

However, for such a young child, can the forging hammer be moved? Still tempering pig iron?

"Boss, why don't you let this kid try." The blacksmiths in the forging room also stopped their movements at this time and chatted with interest.

One of the blacksmiths looked at the man, nodded slightly, and slowly stepped forward with a forging hammer.

"Kid, if you can wield this forging hammer in my hand, I'll let you try it."

"Uh-huh." Lin Manshan nodded hurriedly, and quickly took the hammer from the blacksmith's hand with his right hand, and swung it up and down with ease.

"Good guy, you can pick it up with one hand."

"It's not the same for a martial soul to have soul power, a child has such a strong strength."

"This was born to be a blacksmith."

In the forging room, all the blacksmiths were extremely dumbfounded and amazed.

"Alright, kid, I'll take your apprentice." The man smiled and said, no matter whether Lin Manshan really knows how to temper pig iron, with this strength, he is also an excellent good seedling, and he should be able to get started with a little teaching, if he can train a soul master blacksmith, it will be passed out in the future, and his face will also shine, maybe it can bring better business to the store.

It's not a loss-making deal.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Tie Shan, and this one next to me is my brother Tie Zhu." The man smiled and led Lin Manshan into the forging room, introduced the blacksmiths one by one, and then took the forging table off the fixed wooden pier to readjust the height, and picked up a piece of red-hot pig iron from the stove and put it on, "Aman, come and try to temper this piece of pig iron, let me see how your foundation is?" ”

After saying that, he stepped aside with the blacksmiths.

"Okay." Lin Manshan nodded, put the hammer aside, and quickly took off his school uniform, revealing the short sleeves and white arms inside, compared with the blacksmiths present, his arms were obviously much thinner. But from the slightly bulging muscles above, you can still see the traces of long-term exercise. Picking up the hammer again, Lin Manshan looked at the iron block and slowly lifted the hammer.

In the next second, it swung down violently.

"Bell, bell, bell...", the violent and rhythmic impact sound sounded one after another.

"This is!?" The two brothers of Tieshan and the blacksmiths looked more and more attentively, and there was an illusion of a certain Ming in their eyes, feeling that Lin Manshan's hand was not wielding an iron hammer at all, but a big knife, knife after knife, like a big wave in the wind, wave after wave, the force became heavier and heavier, with an indomitable momentum, each knife was extremely decisive.

"How good is this kid?" Although the onlookers did not know how to forge, they could also see from the eyes of the blacksmiths that Lin Manshan's level was not simple.

After a while, Lin Manshan stopped his movements and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The iron on the casting table had cooled down a lot, and the whole had shrunk a lot.

"Aman, your hand, are you alright?" Tie Shan stepped forward quickly, looked down at the iron, opened his mouth, and quickly raised his head, staring at Lin Manshan's reddened right arm like a monster, such a domineering and fast-paced tempering technique, there is no doubt that the strength of the arm is extremely high, even he didn't dare to hit the iron like this, but Lin Manshan not only dared to fight, but also didn't seem to have any.

"Uncle Tieshan, I'm fine, it's just a little hot." Lin Manshan smiled.

Hearing this, Tie Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then sighed, "Aman, the blacksmith who taught you the tempering technique must be a master forger. To be honest, I feel like only the legendary Cloak Hammer can compare to it. ”

He can be sure that this is not the chaotic cloak hammer method, because the chaotic cloak hammer method is about borrowing force, but Lin Manshan's technique is more rigid and domineering, a hammer to the end, no, not like a hammer, but a split, a cut, a force to the end. Finally, part of the recoil force is unloaded by inertia, so as to reach the point of stopping.

Retracts the action with less recoil force, protects the arm and achieves the consistency of the hammer blow.

Such a subtle technique, in his opinion, must be that blacksmith who felt that Lin Manshan's innate divine power was a good seedling to be a blacksmith, and he had the intention of teaching it, so he was willing to let him watch it all the time. After all, if he just watched it a few times, he would never believe that the tempering level could reach this level. It's a pity that I can't see exactly how to exert force at all... Iron Mountain sighed secretly.

He also knew that such a forging technique must have been instructed by the other party not to be passed on.

As a person with professional ethics, he is not easy to take the initiative, and even if he wants to find it, he has to find the master blacksmith.

Hey, at my age, this qualification, the other party will definitely not look down on it.

However, although Aman's power skills are excellent, his knowledge of forging materials and his experience in swinging the hammer are obviously insufficient, and the hammer is wrong in many places, and his strength is wasted. That master only taught Aman the most basic tempering skills, which should be laying the foundation for Aman, and now Aman's foundation is enough, and the subsequent finished forging process has not been taught. ”

"If I teach Aman what I know, wouldn't I be half a master, and Aman will be famous all over the world in the future. Why, I can blow it for the rest of my life. ”

"Especially Aman is still a soul master!"

"One day, I will go to the Blacksmith Association of Gengxin City to participate in the blacksmith conference, and my face will be bright."

Thinking of this, Tie Shan's face smiled even more.

"Huh? I'm just playing according to what I know, and I don't understand anything else..."Lin Manshan said a little reservedly.

"It's okay, the other masters should take the initiative to tell you in the future." Tie Shan smiled, and then his face was solemn, "Aman, although your tempering technique is exquisite, your forging experience is lacking, especially in the cognition of forging materials, in addition, there is also the judgment of the point of force when swinging the hammer. These need to be accumulated slowly in the process of practice. ”

"From now on, you can learn from me and my uncles in this shop. If you don't understand something, you're welcome, just ask. In addition, how about your salary, like other uncles for the time being, one Silver Soul Coin per month? If the business is good, add a commission. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Iron Mountain." Lin Manshan nodded again and again, "However, Uncle Tieshan, the academy has an opening ceremony tomorrow, and I may not be able to come until the day after tomorrow." ”

"Aman, it turns out that you are a freshman. Then aren't you only six years old..."Tie Shan was surprised, and while secretly sighing that Lin Manshan was hardworking and willing to endure hardships, he was even more convinced that Lin Manshan was a good seedling to be a blacksmith, and he had to teach him well!

smiled and nodded slightly, "It's okay, I'll come back when your academy's affairs are dealt with." ”

"Well, Uncle Tieshan, then I'll go back to the academy first."

Saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Manshan put on his school uniform and walked out of the blacksmith shop, and hurried straight in the direction of the academy.

I bought a futon halfway through and ran back to the dormitory on my back.
