CHAPTER XXIII
Li Yun and Mina were already in place and lit a fire.
At this time, the host announced loudly: "In order to ensure fairness, it is only now announced, the theme of this duel is to forge a dagger, and it will be completed within 3 hours." Within the allotted time, the one with the better quality of the forged dagger is the winner. If a dagger is crafted in more than 3 hours, even if the level is higher than that of the opponent, it will be judged as a failure!! Please make sure that the two duels are timed. β
Mina herself is not a blacksmith, and she may be able to make some magic props by herself, but she only attaches various magic to the forged finished product, and she is a complete layman when she starts forging from scratch.
However, Mina was not in a hurry at all, the black eyeballs of her eyes had disappeared, and in its place was a mystical miniature formation of a red pentagram, which was Mina's innate ability after activating the atavistic bloodline, the Replica Eye. As long as you look at your opponent with these eyes, you can replicate all of your opponent's moves, except for those special requirements or restrictions, no matter what kind of skill magic the opponent uses, Mina can cast them simultaneously. This is the famous replica of the witch, known as the great magician who has no dead ends.
Mina looked at Li Yun and copied all of Li Yun's actions, Li Yun shoveled fuel into the furnace, Mina also shoveled fuel into the furnace at the same time, Li Yun selected materials, Mina also selected materials, Li Yun stepped on the bellows, Mina also stepped on the bellows, the movements were exactly the same, without the slightest error. Everyone in the audience was amazed, even Old Man Aemon.
Every blacksmith has its own behavior, habits, and movements, and there is not a single one in 1 million blacksmiths that can be repeated. But Mina, even Li Yun's action of wiping sweat was completely reproduced, even if there was not half a drop of sweat at the place where she wiped it.
While doing the same action as Li Yun, Mina thought to herself: Both sides use the same technology, and the lucky side can make higher-level equipment, the necklace I am wearing is blessed by the wood elves, and the lucky attribute is as high as 20 points, even if unexpected things may occur in the forging process, but my win rate has exceeded 50%, see how hard you will be.
Li Yun focused on his forging and didn't look at Mina, he firmly believed that his skills were above the little dot next to him.
The fuel on the continent of Asgron is very peculiar, allowing the temperature in the furnace to quickly reach the requirements of smelting. It didn't take long for Li Yun and Mina to start taking out the red-hot ore and preparing to pound it.
What Li Yun used was the blue high-level blacksmith's hammer that Emon gave him, and it was not very special, and basically high-level blacksmiths would use it. At this time, the hammer that Mina took out was an epic blacksmith's hammer prepared for her by the Aether Chamber of Commerce:
[The dexterous hammer of the dwarven ancestors.]
Grade: Epic
Chance of crafting Epic Gear: +15%
Chance of crafting Legendary Equipment: +5%
The Dwarven Blacksmith's Hammer, blessed by the Elves, can be easily wielded even by an apprentice. γ
Mina used this epic blacksmith hammer to hammer the ore while looking at Li Yun, and said with a smile in her heart: "Even if you are a real blacksmith, I have better tools than you, and the probability of forging high-level equipment is already higher than yours."
Li Yun, who had beaten the ore, found that Mina had been looking at him: "What to see, what do you see." β
Mina snorted and said, "Look how hard you are for a while." β
"Yo, dare to look down on me at a small point? Don't be too arrogant for a while. Li Yun was very polite. Ignore this little bit, it's time to melt the ore.
During the waiting time to melt the ore, Li Yun began to make the mold, and Mina was also doing it at the same time, and the molds made by the two were exactly the same.
After the ore was completely melted, the two men simultaneously pulled out the molten iron and poured it into the mold. Wait for it to cool, then break the mold and proceed to the next step of forging.
Li Yun held the blank of the dagger with iron tongs in one hand, and kept beating with the other, at this moment, he had never had such a good feeling, the desire to win, the heart of wanting to forge powerful equipment, and poured into every hammer.
In the VIP seat, Asila watched Li Yun's movements, and had a special feeling in his heart, this man is a real craftsman.
The Aether Leader watched the two of them move exactly the same, and he was a little uncertain, Mina's fame was great, but she was never a blacksmith. The Aether President whispered to one of the attendants beside him, telling him to do it immediately, and the attendant answered and ran out of the arena.
Asila looked at it and didn't say anything, as if everything was expected.
More than two hours passed, and the forging had reached the final stage, making the handle, and connecting it to complete the forging.
Li Yun took out the material that was going to be used to make the handleβthe fangs that were thinly sealed. This thing was bought by Li Yun for 100 gold coins from a foreign merchant, not a whole piece of fangs, only a section, but it was more than enough to make a dagger handle.
Li Yun sharpened the shape of the handle, then made the position of the joint, fixed the dagger on the handle, and finally made some details of the dagger, and it was done. Li Yun, who wiped his sweat, was extremely satisfied with this dagger, and announced that it was completed now, and then waited for the host to appraise it.
"Wow, a This dagger is like Miss Mina, with a beautiful appearance, and in less than 3 hours, Miss Mina has forged a famous product! The host's voice rang out, and Mina held up the dagger she had made as if to declare victory.
Li Yun was surprised, how could this little thing be so magical when it was completed at the same time as himself. It seems that this little point is not a vase with only appearance, but really has strength.
"Now let's identify the dagger attributes created by Miss Mina and display them on the public screen with magic." The moderator and two expert experts began to evaluate Mina's dagger.
"Wow!! Golden Legend, is the dagger of Golden Legend. The host said loudly.
The public screen shows the properties of the dagger:
[Dagger of Hatred - Severe.]
Grade: Legendary

Attack: 220~247

You are as beautiful as a flower, and you have never seen such a sharp blade suitable for torture and killing those who ignore and despise you. γ
At this time, everyone in the audience, including several people from the Order of the Phoenix, was surprised, and felt that there was no need to compare, the golden legend, it must be Mina who won.
Mina looked at the dagger she had made, and the name and the dagger were yin, with the idea that she wanted to abuse this stinky man. A true craftsman, when making equipment, can pour his emotions or thoughts into the equipment, it seems that this legend is true.
The Aether Leader looked at the dagger's attributes and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that Miss Mina could even forge a golden legend, which is not bad." Asila, when you asked Mina to help, you didn't say that this dagger was also her reward, did you? β
Asila thought to herself, you want to swallow even the dagger that Mina forged herself, don't you know that Mina also has a nickname, called the little witch who will repay the eyes.
On the stage, Natasha said, "If you ask this NPC to buy this dagger, do you think she will give it up?" How many coins do I need to buy it? β
Banner thought for a moment and said, "It's estimated that 100,000 gold coins will start. β
Junko Iwasaki said, "Who will contact her at that moment?" β
Natasha said: "I'll go, after all, a high-level NPC still has to be careful to deal with." β
The dagger created by Li Yun was also sent to the host's hands and began to be firm.
In the process of identification, there was a sound of a clang, and a faint golden brilliance. Li Yun was overjoyed, at least this is a golden legend, I hope it is more powerful than that small attribute.
The door to the arena was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps came from outside. A team of dozens of guards entered.
"Everybody stopped." The captain of the guards shouted. Then he walked to Li Yun's side, drew out his long sword, put it on Li Yun's neck, and said, "You kid, someone reported you that you were suspected of killing 7 errands of the Aether Chamber of Commerce, and for the safety of the Chamber of Commerce, you are now arrested." Get him out of here. β
Li Yun looked confused, didn't the old man say that the corpse had been destroyed and no evidence had been left? Who told the secret ...
