Chapter 267: Our Blacksmith
As the summer vacation approaches, people in the idle town have nothing to do, and they get together to talk about small topics that the big people don't care about at all. The huge Bajie landed next to the town, and although the huge flying dragon did not deliberately cause chaos, the small town immediately began to talk, and then, a person suddenly roared.
"It's a black dragon!"
Suddenly, the town's alarm bell rang. However, there was no confusion, and the women and children were hidden in their houses, and all kinds of iron tools that were still weapons were taken out of their homes and taken out into the streets to prepare to face the enemy.
At this time, Long Yi was walking towards the town with Erin, boasting about himself: "Look, I'm so popular, seeing that I'm back, I actually rang the bell to greet me." I'll tell you, this is not bragging to you, I, Long Yi, am also the number one person in this town, and I haven't beaten any of the children in their family!"
As he was talking, he saw a crowd of people rushing over in the distance.
"Stand still, the minions of the Black Dragon Empire! This is the glorious territory of the White Dragon Empire! If you dare to take a step forward with your hooves, I will let you die here!"
A young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old shouted from afar, and beside him, there was a group of young people of about the same age, all of whom were enthusiastic.
"That's it! You idiot probably don't know what to do, this is the town where Long Yi was born! If you're afraid, get out of here!"
A group of young people immediately shouted and shouted.
Long Yi was bragging about how he had beaten those children down, when suddenly such a person appeared. His face darkened when he landed. Looking at the young man who was shouting from a distance, Long Yi laughed instead.
"Little loach, it's only been a year. You've obviously gotten a lot bigger. Long Yi roared from afar.
"Damn! This voice! This head! Everyone run! Long Yi is back!" The young man who was called Little Loach by Long Yi turned around and ran.
"Want to run?"
Long Yi laughed, rushed out of the gang, caught up with him in a few steps, grabbed him by the collar of his clothes and lifted him up.
"What, little loach, what are you running away from seeing that your brother Long is back?" Long smiled and lifted the little loach to his face.
"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey. Brother Long, I'm not excited to go home and tell my parents to get ready for you to eat! You haven't eaten it in a long time, don't you miss it!"
The little loach said with a grin.
"I miss!" Ryuichi also smiled, "Not only do I miss Auntie's baked cookies, I especially miss the feeling of beating you!" Ryuichi raised his hand.
"Ahh
The little loach let out a scream. It's terrible.
"Hey, I haven't done it yet, you're screaming a fart!" Ryuichi smiled and shook his hand that was still up.
"Hehe, get used to it, warm up your throat in advance, and save your voice when the time comes. The little loach said with a hippie smile.
At this time, Erin also walked over slowly, and everyone didn't see it clearly when she was far away. Now let's take a look. Following Long Yi, this is clearly a fairy dragon!
Originally. After everyone found out that the person who came was Long Yi, there was only a smile left in everyone's eyes. And when Erin appeared, people were more respectful. The people of this town have always been paying attention to Ryuichi, and naturally they also know Erin. is from a famous family, and at the same time is the identity of a fairy dragon, which makes people feel a little distant from her.
"Beautiful and noble Miss Irene, help! Brother Long is going to kill someone!" the little loach shouted to Erin for help as if he had found a savior.
"Save you, what's in it for me?" said Erin, laughing.
"I'm Brother Long's best friend! I've played together since I was a child! I can tell you anything from Brother Long to my childhood!"
"Okay!" said Erin without hesitation.
Then Erin didn't hesitate to walk out of shape Ryuichi, looking at Ryuichi with a pair of big watery eyes. Long Yi couldn't resist it decisively and let go of the little loach.
"Ha Lu Ha Xie Xie sister-in-law!" the little loach immediately followed!
"Sister-in-law!" the little loach's words immediately made Erin blush. She secretly glanced at Long Yi, but Long Yi smiled and did not refute, and Irene's heart was even sweeter.
Ryuichi is back!
The news spread quickly through the small town.
For the person of Long Yi, it can be said that everyone in the town knows it, and no one knows it, and this name usually means two things.
The best blacksmith in town, and the savior of the Empire.
Ryuichi inherited this blacksmith shop at a very young age, and with this innate divine power and modern forging knowledge, Ryuichi's ironwork even sells well outside the town. At that time, no one thought that this blacksmith would really become a dragon knight one day.
When Long Yi was very young, he had a black earth dragon, which was known to the people of the whole town. With his innate divine power and fighting spirit, Long Yi beat almost every child of his age, and even some parents with bad tempers were beaten. However, the fact that he became the most famous dragon knight in the empire still made the townspeople feel incredible.
From the day Long Yi entered the school, all kinds of news kept coming back to the town. For example, he beat the emperor's third son, for example, he constantly crossed the ranks, for example, he represented the White Dragon Empire in the Seven Kingdoms Competition, and for example, pacified a war.
Especially, when they heard that Long Yi actually helped the White Dragon Empire turn defeat into victory and drove the Black Dragon Empire back to his hometown in one fell swoop, the whole town was as excited as the New Year.
"Our Ryuichi!"
This is the favorite name of the town's elders.
"Our Brother Long!"
These are the names of the children who were beaten at the beginning.
In the past, and now, Long Yi's reputation in the town has never been low. Everyone knows that in the past year, in Long Yi. What exactly happened.
Surrounded by everyone, Ryuichi unlocked the heavy door of the blacksmith shop. The wooden door was pushed open, and the smell of rust and soot came from inside. Although there was no one living for more than a year. But because no one has been entering, the smell has not dissipated.
"There are five rooms in total, the one on the left is my parents' room, the one in the middle is mine, and the kitchen is on the right. This is the living room, and the largest one over there is where the blacksmith's furnace is. ”
Ryuichi explained to Erin.
Erin looked left and right inside the room. It's very fresh.
Ryuichi came to the blacksmith's furnace, all the tools around him were arranged as they were, and half of the furnace was still unburned. Although Long Yi occasionally asks Bajie to help warm up. But most of the time, charcoal is the perfect heating tool for a blacksmith. Of course, thanks to the help of Dragon's Breath, the ironware made by Ryuichi is stronger and more durable than that made by ordinary blacksmiths.
It's a familiar feeling. Ryuichi picked up the heavy hammer. The wooden handle of the hammer has a series of dents. It was the mark of Long Yi's perennial use that was sharpened by his fingers.
The hammer had been made for himself by the dragon when he was an hour, and it was dark all over, with a slight rust on the surface of the hammer that had been smooth from the constant forging.
"Shall I make something for you?" Ryuichi asked Erin.
"Good!" Erin's eyes were full of antiquity. The room was full of steel, and as a demon fighter, no matter what Ryuichi did, she would hardly need it. But this does not prevent her from looking forward to Ryuichi's work, after all, it was Ryuichi who did it!
Bajie ran over to make a fire. It was the most proficient in this operation.
Ryuichi looked at the array of metal materials in his room and pondered. Then open one of the cabinets in the rear. Inside there are neatly stacked steel plates.
These are all made by Long Yi when he was testing that series of machine tools, each steel plate is shiny, and the materials added to the steel are different.
Long Yi carefully selected, took out two different types of steel plates, carefully cut them into eight pieces with a hacksaw, and then overlapped them together.
"Bajie, come on some molten iron. Long Yi said.
Bajie immediately spewed out molten iron, and Long Yi immediately used the molten iron to glue the edges of the steel plate together, and at the same time stained a steel bar.
The stove was getting stronger, and Long Yi pulled the bellows at a constant speed. The iron is slowly red and white.
Ryuichi immediately took out the piece of iron, placed it on the anvil, and held the hammer high in one hand. The large hammer landed on the iron, folded, and smashed again, and finally gradually flattened the iron into a long square stick.
The iron rod turned a dark red, and Ryuichi carefully rested the edges of the square iron rod before re-placing it in the furnace and hiding it in the white-hot coke. In the blink of an eye, the iron rod had become white-hot, and Long Yi fixed one end, and at the same time rotated the other section vigorously, twisting the square iron rod into a twist shape. After calibrating the position several times, the dragon began to smash the twist flat and fix it. Gradually, a scimitar the length of a small arm emerged.
The scimitar was still completely black.
Phew!
The scimitar glowed in the hot water.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered around the blacksmith furnace, except for Erin. These are all Long Yi's neighbors, and the iron tools at home are basically made by Long Yi. Usually, some people are bored and come to Long Yi's blacksmith shop to watch Long Yi hit iron. If you are an ordinary blacksmith, there is no fun in striking iron. But Long Yi is different, although this kid is not very old, he always has some strange ideas, and the iron tools he makes are not only strong and durable, but extremely gorgeous.
Ryuichi had long been accustomed to the gaze around him, and in fact, these eyes made Ryuichi even happier.
Brother has never been afraid to watch!
In the corner of the wall, there is a grinding wheel modified by Longyi himself, and the way of foot pedal drives the huge grinding wheel to rotate. As soon as Ryuichi sat down in front of the grinder, the huge grinding wheel rotated, knocking out all the black fire skin of the scimitar, revealing the silver structure inside. Then it's a change to a finer grinding wheel, then a hardwood wheel, and finally a heavy cloth wheel polishing.
With powerful tools and amazing brute strength, Ryuichi moves extremely fast. The ugly scimitar was now shining silver!
Ryuichi examined it carefully, then pulled out a bucket from the corner and filled it with water.
"Bajie, let's corrode the dragon's breath. Long Yi said.
Bajie came over, and the black dragon's breath sprayed into the water, and the surface of the water immediately turned black. Long Yi took out an iron rod and tested it for corrosion, and then waited a moment before hanging the smooth scimitar inside. (To be continued......)
