As the minutes ticked by, the emir sat on a chair in the room and studied the weapons on the drawings.

It was a whole round wheel-like thing, about a meter in diameter, and the outermost edge was a sharp blade, although there was no text on the drawing, but the empty space in the middle should be used to hold it, and such a weapon, not to mention that the emir had never seen it, and had never even heard of it.

He had forged a war hammer for Zelens, and he was surprised that a knight would use a hammer as a weapon, but Ophelia told him that the weapons used by knights were so strange that hammers were nothing, and now Emir had seen even stranger weapons.

Soon, an hour passed, but the Emir was still unable to start work, because he could not determine how much material to use, he was not sure of the exact size, and of course, more importantly, with his current experience in blacksmithing, he did not know how to start.

For example, shouldn't a mold be needed for something that is round? But the emir searched the room for a long time and could not find the corresponding mold.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the emir has encountered this problem now, without the right tools, no matter how powerful the forger is, he is helpless.

In order to give Emile a sense of urgency, the examiner placed a one-man hourglass in the room, but this was completely counterproductive, and Emile watched the time pass without being able to do anything about it, and his brain went blank in an instant.

"Emir, this is not like you, obviously not even afraid of the Demon King, but now you are frightened by a small drawing." The emir couldn't help but muttered to himself.

After a while, after recalling his past experience, he really perked up, and he suddenly thought of what the examiner had said.

Since this drawing is the most difficult, it means that even if most forges pass the assessment, their forging level may not be comparable to that of the emir, and even if he does not pass, he will still be defeated in the end.

What's more, even Ophelia said that the forging master qualification certificate is becoming less and less valuable, so he doesn't necessarily have to get the official status of a forging master.

Thinking of this, Emile suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he was finally able to treat the drawings in his hand with a normal heart.

Because of this, he soon discovered that there were several obvious cracks in the blade of the wheel-like weapon.

Weapon drawings are generally not wrong, not to mention that they are blueprints that are assessed as a forger, so these cracks should be the original characteristics of the weapon.

However, this means that this weapon can be unfolded into a different shape, after all, a round weapon must have a complete structure, otherwise it can be easily destroyed by the enemy in actual combat.

Eventually, the Emir came to the conclusion that it was likely to be a shapeshifting weapon, circular when closed and a long strip similar to a whipblade when unfolded, allowing for a longer range.

Those cracks should be the joints of the weapon after it closes from the long strip into a circle, that is, he only needs to forge each part, and finally string it together with a chain, and then set the corresponding buckle on the cross-section of each part to ensure that it will not fall apart easily after becoming round.

As for the size, Emir didn't care too much, he wanted to follow his feelings directly, and when the time came, he didn't care whether the examiner accepted it or not, anyway, he had already tried.

So, after making a plan, he started the forging process non-stop, because there was only an ordinary stove to use here, and he had to hurry.

Of course, with Lilith's help, the remaining five hours would be more than enough, but the forge was too small to accommodate Lilith, and the emir had to give up.

Still, he underestimated his forging speed, and in just four hours, he had completed his initial forging and the quenching process went smoothly.

He then tried to string the pieces together, close them into a circle, and leave a place in the middle to hold on, and finally he tested the effect of unfolding it, and found no problems.

"Hehe, that's the hardest drawing." The emir couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, just as he was about to report to the examiner in advance, the holy sword at his waist suddenly shone faintly, and in the next moment, Cosette appeared in front of him, looking sleepy-eyed.

"Oops, I slept so well, huh? What is this place, Emir? ”

"Oh, I'm taking the forger's exam, but I'm done, and I'm going to hand it over to the examiner for inspection."

"So," Cosette nodded, then fixed his gaze on the weapon in the Emir's hand, and said with a slight surprise, "Huh? This, is this what you forged? ”

"yes, listening to your tone, could it be that you've seen such a thing?"

"Well, sort of, but it's been quite a long time, you should know that the life span of elves is almost unlimited, don't look at me as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old human girl, in fact, I am more than two thousand years old, in the long years, I have dealt with humans a lot, and then when the demons have not yet risen, our relationship with humans is not bad, one day I met a human knight, he used this kind of weapon, because I admired him at the time, so I was particularly impressed by his weapons."

"I see."

"By the way, can you show me first?" Cosette said, her eyes moistening for some reason.

The emile guessed that something must have happened between her and the knight, and readily agreed.

However, after Cosette took the weapon, he casually weighed it, but his brow furrowed slightly, and then he regained his expression.

"Hmm, this weight is not right, it's too light."

"Really?" The emir scratched his head embarrassedly, "Because there is no explanation on the drawing, I can only rely on feelings, and there is no time to reforge me now, there is still an hour before the end of the assessment." ”

When Cosette understood what was going on, she changed her tone.

“…… Sorry for the strange thing I just said, it's good to be able to do this without detailed drawings, and we can't find a few good forges like you. ”

"Really, really? Your Highness, don't flatter me. The emir was even more embarrassed.

"Haha, do you think I'm the kind of guy who likes to flatter people?" Cosette smiled heartily, and then said to the emir with a serious face, "To tell you the truth, I took a fancy to this weapon, so I thought if I could buy it when the assessment was over, it should be my memorial to that friend at the beginning, but it's a pity ......"

"I see, this is easy to do, I'll just help you forge it later."

"But are you really going to take this on an errand?" Cosette suddenly changed her words, "Maybe the examiner has a set of scoring criteria, and the weight of the weapon is not right, but it is a hard injury, and it would be a pity if he didn't pass the assessment because of this." ”

"Ah, this." Emir was stunned, and he also fell into self-doubt.

"But that's okay, if you want to re-forge, I have a way to help you, an hour is enough."

"But...... Isn't that cheating? ”

"Hehe," Cosette couldn't help laughing, "how can the forging thing be called cheating?" And as long as it's not cheating if it's not discovered, so do you want to re-forge it? ”

"Do you really have a way to do it in an hour?" The emir was still skeptical.

Four hours on his own was fast enough, he really couldn't imagine that anyone only needed an hour, if it was Lilith's dragon breath, it would be understandable, but now there is no such condition.

"Tsk, how could my dignified elf princess lie to you, you just say if you want it." Cosette was getting impatient.

The Emile looked at her as if she was swearing, not at all like a deceit, and when she thought about it, there was really no need for Cosette to lie to him.

"Okay then, what do I do next?"

"Hehe, let's melt this first," Cosette said with a smile as she returned the weapon to him, "Otherwise, when the new weapon is made, it will definitely cause unnecessary misunderstanding if it is discovered by the examiner, after all, it is impossible for a normal person to forge two weapons in such a short time." ”

"Well, that's right."

Without hesitation, the emir threw the weapon into the furnace.

"Gee, do you really trust me that much? What if I deliberately tried to frame you? Cosette suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Well, Your Highness, don't scare me."

"Haha, sorry, just kidding."

Cosette then uses magic to catalyze the flames in the furnace, and Emile admits that he had no idea of this, but Cosette shakes his head.

"I remember that your magic attribute is water, then there is no way, most purebred elves have an attribute of fire, otherwise why do you think our forging technology is the strongest in the continent."

"Oh."

"Okay, the material is soft, you can go and get double the material."

The emir hastened to do so, and he glanced at the hourglass halfway through, and there was not much time left, estimated only half an hour, but they had not even fully burned the materials.

To say that there was no doubt that it was impossible, he just couldn't think of Cosette's motive for framing him, after all, Cosette was counting on him to fulfill his agreement with the Elven King.

After a while, the material was burned, this time weighing twice as much as before, and the next thing was to beat it continuously, but it was only about ten minutes.

"Your Highness, we are running out of time." The emir's voice trembled as she said this.

However, Cosette still looked confident, and she said gracefully.

"What about the crystal hammer that my father gave you? Take it out. ”

The Emir remembered that he had placed the crystal hammer in the magic ring where Lilith was housed, and Lilith could also help guard it, so he immediately summoned it.

"Very well, my father told you to find out how to use the crystal hammer yourself, it seems that now is the time."

"Uh, could it be that this crystal hammer can be used to forge weapons? No, I feel like it's going to crumble into slag with a little force, and I'm reluctant to use such a precious thing. ”

"Fool, it's about your future," Cosette said angrily, but then sighed again, "...... Alas, so be it, you can use it now, and if it is broken, I will pay you another one, anyway, my father's warehouse is more. ”

Reassured, the Emir carefully struck the hammer against the red-hot piece of iron, and sparks flew and the hammer was unscathed.

Cosette was still not satisfied, and asked the Emir to push harder.

The Emile finally made up his mind and smashed it with all his strength, and the sparks that came out of the iron plate exploded like fireworks, startling him, but Cosette smiled contentedly.

"Good, one more hammer is enough."

Emile did so, and before the hammer fell, he still had doubts, even if all the impurities were removed, wouldn't he still have to shape himself? How can it be done with a single hammer.

However, the moment he hit it with a hammer, the red iron piece actually burst out with dazzling light, if he hadn't closed his eyes in time and then covered it with his hands, it is estimated that he would have been blinded by now.

After a while, as the light dissipated, he opened his eyes and saw that the piece of iron had become part of the weapon.

"W-what's the principle?"

"Hehe, don't ask, it's Elf Technology to ask." Cosette said proudly.

Now that Emir was confident, he hurriedly forged the remaining parts, and with the help of Cosette, it was easy to burn the pieces of iron red.

It only took a few minutes to complete a set of processes, and if this were to be said, no one would believe it.

In the end, before the last fine sand of the hourglass fell, the Emile successfully completed a weapon that was also completely in line with Cosette's weight and dimensions.

"Great, it's finally done, thanks to your help."

"Then make an appointment, and after passing the assessment, you will help me buy this weapon."

"Well, we don't think we've made that kind of agreement." The emir scratched his head.

"Tsk, I really don't understand the style," Cosette looked helpless, and then shoved a crystal clear gem into his hand, "No money, right?" Here's this, you can buy it for me. ”

“…… Hey, that's fine. ”

The Emir hurriedly put the gem into the magic ring, fearing that Cosette would regret it.
