Chapter 104: Forging the Edge of Darkness
Miss Lianwu...... That's great. Zhang Su couldn't help but be moved.
If the world is peaceful, it would be good if I could stay with Miss Lianwu in peace, and I would have no worries about the wind and rain in the future, and my life would be safe.
In a good mood, this garden is also very quiet and lovely.
Summer has arrived, with deep purple hydrangeas, blue butterflies and irises dotting the grass, and raspberries and chia fruits ripe and weeping branches.
Tall pine trees stand throughout the garden, with ponds, wells and mountain streams hidden under their branches.
I still remember that when I first brought the little bees, the garden of Anxinyuan was still a wasteland overgrown with weeds, the ancient well was filled with silt, and the pond was dry and silent.
But after half a year of operation, this place has become a comfortable place, even just listening to the trickle of the stream is a soothing enjoyment.
Alone and contemplative, Zhang Su can meditate on his soul, on the one hand carrying the burden of a cruel end, and on the other hand, he must shake off the pressure of memory and move on.
"It's rudeβ" A cautious voice came.
Zhang Su looked up and saw that it was the witch prisoner Dongmei who came.
She worked on the assembly line of Dongzhou Industries, and now she has calloused hands, a short and slender body, and a vigilant gaze, and has developed a habit of being cautious.
"Good morning." Zhang Su greeted her.
ββ¦β¦ You said you could make me something or something, and now I'm here. Tomi said her hair was very messy.
"Yes, come with me." Zhang Su thought of those obsidian stocks, and the demon's weapons could be reforged into human blades.
He led Tomi to the warehouse and pushed the heavy warehouse door open with one hand.
The warehouse was originally very large, but Zhang Su expanded it and replaced it with modern metal shelves, with signs hanging on the heights, just like a giant warehouse-style store, which can classify the goods and understand clearly.
The air was filled with the lingering smell of alcohol, and Tomi felt parched in her mouth.
She approached the shelves with "liquor" labels in anticipation, only to find them swept away, surrounded by mountains of beer bottles, aluminum cans, and packages of foreign and red wine.
Who is it...... What drank up the sake of Anxin-in? I'm afraid I'm going to die! Dongmei was taken aback.
"These wine ......," Dongmei looked at Zhang Su worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll clean up the garbage in a while, and then make up some more, you can apply for alcohol refills." Zhang Su knew that it was Katy who drank it, she was deeply drunk, and then fell asleep, so much wine was enough to make her sleep for days.
"Yes." Tomi licked her lips expectantly.
Zhang Su took Dongmi to the place where the demonic materials were hoarded, and the entire black box exuded an ominous forbidden aura.
He opened the chest, and in addition to the obsidian fragments, there was also the Demon Arcana, but Tomi's level was not enough to reforge the Arcana, only Priscilla could do it.
"Here you go, these things. I salvaged them from the front. Zhang Su spread his palms out.
In his hand, there were obsidian daggers, blades, sword blades, and large and small fragments, the large ones were like the Pure Source Stone, and the small ones were like black synthetic jade.
Tomi gazes at these obsidian remnants. Obsidian is a weapon used by demons to fight, they are naturally capable of containing souls, and the more souls are devoured with it, the purer and more transparent the texture of obsidian becomes, like colorless glass......
Tomi had only heard of this material before, but now when she saw it in person, she was deeply impressed. What is their story? How many people have you killed?
"Do you need a studio or tools?" Zhang Su asked.
"I am the 'casting' way, my hands are the stove and the hammer, and I just want to untie my collar." Tomi smiled wryly.
"No problem." Zhang Su opened Dongmei's simple collar.
Once the magic is blocked, it cannot circulate smoothly in the body, and Tomi is released, and quickly guides the magic through the neck and back to the brain.
The smart IQ returns to the high ground and sees things more clearly.
She raised her hand, and a red light emitted, embedding the obsidian fragments like chains, as if creating a strong magnetic confinement field, and they naturally levitated, following Dongmei.
"Shall we get out?" Dongmei went out and couldn't wait to show off her skills.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence." Zhang Su felt that Dongmei was very confident.
"Although I haven't gotten my change water yet, I also became the team leader of the assembly line after working for 1 year, and I was recruited when the wage was high, and the boss didn't fire me." Dongmei is eager to try.
The so-called "change water" is a special potion used by the casting witch to melt the raw materials, just like the second life of the casting witch. Tomi still needs to pass many exams before he has a chance to receive it from the Witch Countermeasures Bureau.
Coming to the pond in the garden, Tomi held her breath and began to heat up the obsidian.
She felt thrilled, the magic flowing through her body, towards the obsidian material waiting to be forged, and she hadn't experienced this feeling of vitality in a long time.
"What do you want to make?" Tomi asked.
"A knife." Zhang Su said.
This type of knife is shorter than Tai Dao, making it suitable for foot combat.
"That knife is too small for you." Tomi laughed.
"Not for me." Zhang Su shook his head. He has Guanshi Futu.
Who will he give this knife to? Tomi was curious. But I didn't ask, it was still important to cast a knife.
Tomi continues to unleash her casting magic, soaking these glassy black stones in a fiery red glow.
They had to be heated to over 2000Β°C before they melted, and soon they were all burned red, as if a volcano was about to burst out of it!
Gradually, they melted smoothly, like pitch-black snow, and Tomi breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Tomi brought them together, imagining the subtle curvature of the blade while manipulating the invisible casting magic to hammer the blade blank.
Bang!
After a loud bang, flaws and cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the obsidian blade embryo, and the fragments trembled violently, as fragile as glass.
She frowned, repositioned, and tried to forge again.
Bang!
Now even Zhang Su could see the tiny cracks spreading on the obsidian blade.
This kind of thing can't fight.
"Not usually." Dongmei explained to Zhang Su that her gaze still fell on the flame-red obsidian blade in her hand.
Dongmei used to easily manufacture plastic, steel, and rubber products in the factory, and they were easily molded in her hands, contributing to the expansion of Dongzhou's industry.
The mind and skill of the Witch Casting Witch rivals that of the best human designers, and she is confident, but the obsidian blade is ...... Tomi felt like it was desperately resisting the magic of casting.
"These materials have uneven textures and different grades." Zhang Su said.
"I know, some are secondary obsidian, and some are flawless obsidian." Tomi watched carefully and tried to adjust.
"Take a break?" Zhang Su asked.
"No, no." Tomi was sweating profusely.
She wanted to prove herself in front of Zhang Su that she was working, not here to eat rice.
Dongmei can't afford to go to the witch education institute run by other casting witches because of poverty, and she studied at Dongming National College, but Dongmei has always been confident in her craft!
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she reflected on what she had learned in her life.
Fundamentals of Materials Science, Fundamentals of Engineering Materials and Machinery Manufacturing, Metal Materials and Heat Treatment, Thermal Properties, Brittleness, Phase Transformation, Deformation Heat Treatment, Continuous Casting, Crystal Structure, ...... Give it power!
Dongmei's eyes widened, and Zhang Su felt that her momentum had changed!
She remelted all the obsidian raw materials and then stacked and welded them again to cast the magic stamping and forging.
Zhang Su observed intently, and he believed that Dongmei would achieve a homogeneous distribution of obsidian materials to avoid too large differences in the performance of different parts of the blade.
Her casting magic seeped into the blade, fine-tuning the obsidian slightly, both intense and steady, its color and texture changing slightly.
Immediately afterward, Tomi transforms the casting magic into a heavy hammer and slams it on the blade.
Bang!
Both Zhang Su and Dongmei's hearts lifted.
The blade embryo was flattened but not broken, and the quality was much better than the last time!
Tomi swallowed and began to shape.
Bang! Bang!
She was sweating profusely, and she repeatedly forged the shape of a knife, which was not harsh, but like a metallic sonata.
Over the course of an hour, the sound of percussion sounded more than a thousand times, and it was indeed a thousand tempers, and sparks flew everywhere.
When the knife shape roughly appeared, Tomi poked it into the pond to cool it down.
The moment the blade touched the water, countless smoke rushed up, sizzling, and choking Tomi coughed.
If the blade is too thin, it will be transformed into a piece of scrap iron when quenched, but fortunately, Tomi has reserved the thickness of the knife, so that it does not crack or deform, and it is still tough.
Zhang Su watched intently.
As the witch is forged, the obsidian weapons used by the demons resonate with the magic and transform into "exorcisms".
This is the best weapon for humans, and it will continue to grow stronger after killing demons.
Tomi polished it carefully, and her casting magic was now transformed into an unparalleled cutter, sharpening it to the brink of an incomparable sharpness.
"You should be working for the Human Defense Project." Zhang Su felt that Dongmei's craftsmanship was already very good.
"The Human Defense Program's public officer exam is too difficult." Dongmei wiped her sweat while polishing, "It's okay to take a business class, but you can't write a little about current affairs and politics." β
Dongmei thought of a question and asked, "What are the advantages of fighting demons?" One option is "human resources are extremely cheap", and she doesn't know whether to choose it or not.
If she doesn't choose, she may not be loyal to the plan, but if she does, the plan is still a hammer.
Tomi sharpened the blade to perfection and then made a corrugated handle, also made of obsidian, with a lotus-shaped blade, and assembled the components together to fit them together.
The cast knife is ready.
"It's done!" Covered in sweat, Tomi held the knife high with trembling fingers.
Zhang Su stared carefully and took a deep breath.
It was a perfect exorcism alloy sword, curved, its edges sharp enough to seem to cut the air out of blood, the blade was covered with ripple-like stripes and swirls to make it almost a work of art, and an invisible aura spread around the blade, making it disappear from time to time.
"Do you still have magic?" Zhang Su asked.
"One more thing, what to do?" Dongmi didn't understand, "It's good enough, doesn't it need to be strengthened?" β
"I want you to put your name on it, Tomi, this is the knife you made." Zhang Su smiled slightly.
