Chapter 304: Sword Forging
"So powerful?" Qing'er's dark eyes were full of doubts, but she wouldn't try the sword, because what the young master said must be right.
With a snap, a small teapot fell to the ground and shattered.
"Uncle Tie?" Qing'er tilted her head to look over and found that this man who was dark and strong and had knotted muscles was actually about to cry.
"Young Master, you're back!" Uncle Tie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Young Master, in the past year, you have been the first person to understand my sword!
"Good sword, low price, just wait for the person who understands the sword, and Uncle Tie's heart will not be wasted in vain. ”
Lu Ming smiled again and said, "Today, I want to build a sword, so I need a set of hammers and ovens, and during this time, I will trouble Uncle Tie." ”
"Casting a sword?" Uncle Tie's eyes suddenly bloomed with a light, just like the night ushered in the dawn, the last time the young master built a sword, let himself feel the essence of sword casting, only to have the skill of only five forgings, to the level of ten forging, today the young master came to build a sword again?
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, the young master can come to forge a sword, it's just a lesson for everyone in the Lu family's blacksmith shop that can't be bought for any amount of money!" Uncle Tie's naked upper body, his muscles suddenly knotted fiercely, and he knew how excited he was at a glance.
Lu Ming nodded, and walked to the backyard, this is actually Lu Ming's thoughts, if the blacksmith in the family can understand from the time he makes the sword, it is the best, after all, this matter is taught by hand. If it weren't for that material, it would just be a waste of thought.
"A group of lucky guys, take advantage of the opportunity!" Qing'er looked at the work that was being prepared excitedly, changed her position and thought, and inevitably sighed secretly in her heart: "Yes, the young master's sword-forging skills are so superb, these blacksmiths who are usually very good look at him as if they see a god." ”
There were hundreds of blacksmiths and apprentices in the blacksmith shop, and in just an instant, a complete set of equipment was cleared. The oven also burned. The blazing charcoal fire inside emitted a loud glow.
Uncle Tie looked at Lu Ming, wanting to see from his face whether he was satisfied or not, but he couldn't find out that this young master was going to be. He also knew that the young master was more easy-going. No objection should be right. Then he asked, "What materials does the young master need?" I will order someone to move them to the warehouse. ”
"No, I prepared the materials this time. ”
As Lu Ming was talking, Zhuo Ligetu's huge body squeezed in through the back door. Carrying a large wooden box one meter square on his shoulder, judging from the deep footprints that appeared under his feet with every step he took, this box was definitely full of super heavy guys.
Seven or eight quite clever guys knew what the relationship between this barbarian and the young master was, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, but they still couldn't hold it anymore, and it just eased the downward trend of the wooden box a little.
With a bang, after the wooden box hit the ground, it suddenly fell apart, and a pile of ores of various colors fell out of it, judging from the luster emitted from it, this is almost all essence ore similar to dog's head gold.
"Star Gold, Mithril, Zhongtian Crustland?...... Oh my God! I've only seen these materials in my life on the mainland!"
As soon as Uncle Tie saw these materials, the sweat on his forehead suddenly rolled down, he is an ordinary blacksmith Yes, but any blacksmith must learn to identify minerals, otherwise he can't become a real blacksmith at all!
Uncle Tie wiped his sweat profusely, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange mineral, he reached out and picked up this mineral with a puzzled look, to be precise, it is this mineral, it is not big, only less than a foot long, the thickness of the arm, showing a crystal, shaking it slightly, there will be liquid rolling inside, exuding a dazzling color in the light.
"What is this?" It wasn't just Uncle Tie who was surprised, but the entire blacksmith shop was deeply attracted.
"It's the Golden Spirit of the Stars. Lu Ming had never seen such a rare mineral, but the Sword Saint of Destruction said that it was found in a cave when he was looking for himself, which was full of Star Gold, and in the deepest part of the cave, which was nearly a thousand meters underground, there was this Star Gold Essence, and there was a thousand-year-old python guarding it. And Lu Ming has also discovered that this mineral looks like glass, but in fact, it is the appearance of metal minerals that will only appear after reaching a certain level of purity, and its internal structure is even tougher than the twenty-five forging swords built before, with both the characteristics of steel and the toughness of gold, it is an excellent material for making swords, and it is a priceless treasure.
Lu Ming's heart couldn't help but throb a few times for this kind of treasure, and with his current strength, he saw this kind of treasure, not to mention destroying that powerful demon beast, he had to pick it up by himself, and with his current strength, it would take a lot of trouble. That is, to destroy the realm of the Sword Master, and his sword qi has unique benefits, so that it can be mined so easily and completely.
This time, the two old-timers prepared a lot of scarce materials for themselves, and also took out the inner dan of the demon beast, which is a good thing that can make the sword more powerful.
Uncle Tie was already dumbfounded, just like an ordinary chef who suddenly asked him to cook Yan Bao Wings, he had no way to start, as for the most ordinary little things like pulling bellows, Uncle Tie, who had seen Lu Ming forging swords, knew that even he was incompetent.
At this time, Leng Jian also walked in with a big box, but it was a hundred steels in three hundred catties! Leng Jian was speechless or speechless about Lu Ming's ability to strike iron, after all, anyone who saw Lu Ming striking iron would think of a question: "Such a loser can actually strike iron? What are you kidding!"
But he never doubted Lu Ming, because as long as it was what he wanted to do, he would definitely be able to do it well, and it could be seen from the twenty-five forging sword before. Zhuo Ligetu is the same, during the time he stayed in the Lu family, he had already learned about Lu Ming from many aspects, so he would not make a fuss.
Looking at Bailian Steel with indifferent eyes, Lu Ming knew that although these were only refined steel, their actual significance was less than that of fifteen forged steel, but such a large piece was extremely difficult to buy, and the value was quite expensive.
Lu Ming even had some malicious guesses that if these materials were removed from the ones they had mined themselves, the rest might have exhausted the silver in their pockets, which was not rich.
However, Lu Ming was very happy and very moved in his heart, especially during his absence, the kindness of the second elder to the Lu family, Lu Ming had already deeply remembered it in his heart.
With a snort, a flame erupted from the largest oven, and the blazing air wave suddenly spread, making this early winter season as hot as midsummer.
Zhuo Ligetu pulled the bellows with a very special rhythm in his hand, and in just a few clicks, the flames turned a faint blue, and gradually faded, but the temperature was rising layer by layer.
"Very peculiar technique!" Uncle Tie's eyes lit up, and he carefully observed it, for fear of missing a single detail, but it could be seen from this that this barbarian must have been in the blacksmith shop before.
Zhuo Ligetu smiled and said: "When I was young, I went to the blacksmith shop to do a few days of small work when I had no money, because I had great strength, so the master was very good to me, so he taught me this set of ways to pull the bellows, which is quite easy to use." ”
However, his seemingly joking words, many apprentices can not laugh at it, and not everyone can learn this kind of craft. As precious as the cheats that the swordsman gets.
Only the experience of twists and turns can create talents! Lu Ming also secretly admired, and then silently moved the iron block to the oven and began to calcinate it with a blazing flame.
It took a whole day to burn it red, and it depended on Zhuo Ligetu's technique and his strength.
Bang!
The largest hammer in Lu Ming's hand slammed into the steel, and the strong force caused a large spark to bloom. And Uncle Tie, the chief blacksmith of the Lu family's blacksmith shop, was fortunate to be Lu Ming's helper, and he also held a huge hammer, and the two of them replaced each other and began to forge this piece of steel.
The apprentices began to remove the residue from the minerals and then make them into the most basic blanks, which saved Lu Ming a lot of time and could concentrate on dealing with the iron in front of him.
The tinkling of the blacksmith's shop was monotonous, and the flickering fire lit up everyone's face, and their expressions seemed to be frozen, all concentrating on their own business, and only the occasional flying spark showed their vitality.
Seven days had passed, and the iron had shrunk by half, but Lu Ming did not let go of its plans, but began to fuse various primary blanks, and then continued to forge.
At this time, Uncle Tie couldn't help at all, all he could do was what kind of materials Lu Ming needed, so he went to move such a thing, and the rest of the time he was quietly observing and studying.
Uncle Tie found that Lu Ming's way of striking iron was not peculiar, it belonged to a very normal category, but the time difference between each of his hammers followed a very peculiar rhythm, and the monotonous hammer sound actually had a feeling of making people dance.
And every drop of his hammer is very exquisite, seven days of continuous iron, he has not hit the wrong place once, there is no time when there is no mistake, the accuracy is simply outrageous, and there is another point, that is, Lu Ming will crush all the residues peeled off on various minerals, and then mix them in the sandbox, so that the high-temperature iron blocks continue to melt and even fuse.
In Lu Ming's view, the soil on these minerals is useful, because where rare minerals can be bred can be bred in, it can be said that flowers and trees are spiritual, and using these things to fuse into iron will have the effect of turning the original soup into the original food.
Various types of hammers flew up and down in Lu Ming's hands, and another seven days passed, during which Lu Ming completely dissolved the Xingchen Gold Essence into the steel block, and this steel block shrank by four-fifths!
Now it seems that this steel ingot is just the weight of making a sword, and Uncle Tie hurriedly ordered someone to weigh it, but it was a full one hundred and ninety-eight catties. (To be continued......)
