Chapter 15: The Blacksmith's Golden Hammer

As a blacksmith, Long Yi didn't have much interest in other amateur things, and the three of them acted separately, and soon Long Yi came to a blacksmith shop.

From afar, he heard the sound of a hammer clanging from here, a loud voice he had heard since he was a child for the past eighteen years. From this sound, it can be heard that the power of the hammer is very large, and the hammer must be not small, but I don't know what the hammer is building.

"The Golden Hammer. As soon as the dragon looked up at the sign, he knew that this must be a shop run by a dwarf. Only dwarves are so attached to gold and precious stones that they even use their own surnames. This dwarf calls himself the Golden Hammer, so naturally he has inherited the craftsmanship of the Golden Hammer since ancient times.

The faΓ§ade is not large, and there is no one to take care of it, and it is easy for Long Yi to walk to the backyard, and the sound of metal colliding is getting louder and louder. Finally, Ryuichi saw a dwarf with his face almost buried in his beard, and he was holding a hammer the size of a small oak barrel in the air.

Clang!

The hammer fell, and the objects on the anvil burst into large sparks, and the sparks landed on the dwarf's beard, and the stench of protein roasted immediately filled the area.

"Hey, stinky boy, why are you still stunned there, why don't you hurry up and help!"

The dwarf roared, but didn't even raise his eyes to look at the dragon.

Long Yi smiled, he hadn't struck iron for a few days, and his hands were a little itchy, so he grabbed a hammer from the side and walked over.

The dwarf's hammer was big and heavy, but it was just right for Ryuichi. Watching as soon as the dwarf dropped the hammer, the dragon followed by a second hammer. The rhythm of the first three hammers was a bit chaotic, but after the three hammers, Ryuichi was already able to swing the hammer completely according to the rhythm of the dwarves.

This is how Long Yi's blacksmith skills were learned from his father, and now Long Yi has already become an excellent blacksmith who can take charge of himself.

The dwarf didn't speak, and the two of them clanged like this for an hour, and a rather domineering prototype of the dragon slaying sword had appeared.

The dwarf picked up the sword and was about to throw it into the sink to the side to quench it, but Long Yi suddenly raised his hand and said, "Slow!"

The dwarf was stunned for a moment, but really stopped.

Long Yi stretched out his hand and used the fire tongs to add up the heavy dragon slashing sword, and said behind him, "Bajie, medium firepower." ”

The fat Demon Yuan Dragon Bajie swayed out, lazily spit out a mouthful of fire, and the Dragon Slaying Sword immediately turned dark red. After that, Long Yi ran to the sink and tested the water temperature, and then slowly touched the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword to the water surface first, and after several tests, he let the water slowly submerge the entire Dragon Slaying Sword.

"Tell me, boy, what are you doing here?"

The dwarf's eyes, hidden in his beard, shimmered faintly, but he asked indistinctly.

Long Yi smiled and said: "This dragon slaying sword is made of carbon black iron, and it is slowly quenched in warm water under this red heat, which can greatly improve the hardness of the blade of the dragon slaying sword, and at the same time ensure that the sword body has extremely strong toughness." You are a goldsmith, you are just too lazy to do this kind of small problem, how can you not know the way!"

The dwarf Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, and without saying much, he reached out and took out the dragon slaying sword that had cooled down from the sink, and casually took out a dragon slaying sword embryo that had been prepared from the side and lay it on the ground.

When!

The dragon slaying sword on the ground was cut in two.

When the dwarf saw the dragon sword break in two, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

"Good boy! Among the students of the Dragon Knight Academy, it is rare to have a person like you who knows how to make metal! I thought that the Dragon Knight Academy was full of fools with eyes on the top of their heads! This year, another group of boys have been promoted, and they want to order a batch of dragon slashing swords from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a golden hammer! Make dragon slaying swords for a group of little hairy children, and do you want Lao Tzu to bother giving them as if they were making artifacts?"

Long Yi also smiled: "This is just the basic means of metal heat treatment, I have no way to accurately measure the temperature now, otherwise, for the heat treatment of metal, I can do it perfectly!"

Ryuichi is not bragging, in his time, the heat treatment of metals was a separate discipline. Countless engineers have put a lot of effort into this, and one after another failed experiments have come up with incomparably accurate values.

It can be said that in that world world without magic, human beings have reached an extreme level of processing methods for ordinary metals, and it is not something that this world can catch up with with the experience of the eyes.

Long Yi is a pilot, by the way, he also practiced mechanical maintenance, and then, by the way, he studied mechanical processing, and then, metal processing, metal heat treatment, and a bunch of related disciplines were also studied.

It can be said that if he is given a precision machine tool now, he may not be able to build a jet plane, but it is not difficult for him to rebuild a piston propeller plane of a general aircraft.

It's just that there are dragons in this world, and this kind of oil-burning machinery must be of no use.

Moreover, Long Yi really has no way to get a precision machine tool out.

Hearing Long Yi's bold words, the dwarf laughed.

"Boy, you are very confident! I see that your hand has been holding the hammer for at least ten years, who is your master?"

Long Yiyi: "I don't have a master, but my father has a good relationship with you. ”

The dwarf finally took a serious look at Long Yi: "There are not many human blacksmiths who can be regarded as having a good relationship with my golden hammer, but there are not many human blacksmiths who can have such a big child...... Are you Ryuichi?"

The dwarf Golden Hammer finally remembered that the child who was adopted by his friend, but he didn't expect that he had grown so big.

Long Yi smiled and nodded: "Uncle, hello, I am Long Yi." ”

The dwarf looked at Ryuichi's shoulder, then at his hands, and nodded approvingly.

"Boy, since your father died, you have basically not heard from me, and now you have suddenly become a dragon knight, and you are still telling me in the letter that you have something good to do with me, but you are not here to brag about me, right?

The dwarves are the best in the world in terms of mining and blacksmithing, and no one can doubt this. Every year, countless humans who aspire to become blacksmith grandmasters go to the Dwarven Forge Fortress located underground, which is the largest city in the Dwarven Realm, the holy place of forging! It was a powerful weapon forged by the dwarves, refined by the elves, and enchanted by several dragon mages.

Rumor has it that this sword slashed the heads and necks of a hundred dragons in a row, but its sharpness barely changed in the slightest. It was also the owner of this sword that ended the large-scale melee of the Seven Kingdoms and formed the current relatively stable pattern of the world.

Seeing that the dwarves didn't believe it, Long Yi was not angry, he knew that you can talk to the dwarves about anything, but you can't question their prospecting and forging skills. Especially the dwarf in front of him, with the surname of the golden hammer, he has more pride than other dwarves, because the golden hammer is the surname of the blacksmith who forged the hundred dragons!

Therefore, if he can't come up with evidence that convinces the golden hammer today, Long Yi feels that he will be thrown out of the dwarf by this dwarf in the next moment.

"In that case, I'll show you Uncle Golden Hammer, the gadgets I made myself. ”

As soon as the dragon spoke, he reached for his waist.

"Okay, if you can come up with the quenching technique that matches what you said, I, Get-Golden Hammer, will make you a dragon slaying sword for free today!"

The dwarf grinned, but there was disdain in his eyes. This kid is very talented, but unfortunately, if you want to challenge him dwarf uncle, he is still a little tender!

However, as soon as the dragon took out the weapon in his hand, the dwarf's eyes immediately straightened a little.

It was a short blade full of arcs, and it was supposed to be a large dagger. The blade of a one-piece keel has black wood handles on both sides. The smooth concave lines are polished, and the blades and lines are integrated, without any fracture or discordant bending. The entire blade is polished to a mirrored finish, and even the blade is mirrored. Looking at the light from the side, the entire blade has a gray blue!

The blade is integrated with the handle patch, almost without any gaps, and the rivets on both sides of the handle are polished as smooth and flat as the handle, and then dozens of diagonal lines are continuously opened on the handle to increase friction.

Damn it!

This thing!

It's so fucking beautiful!

It's so exquisitely made, is it the work of the elves? No! It's not the work of the elves! The elves like to do things that don't make sense, even a short knife has to be decorated with all kinds of elven ornaments. And this dagger has a smooth and atmospheric shape, without any superfluous decoration at all, and it is a weapon that is completely practical!

Held in one hand, the handle fits perfectly in the palm of the hand, giving a special sense of fullness.

"Bastard, don't think you'll fool me if you look good!"

As he spoke, the dwarf golden hammer raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed at the dragon slaying sword that had just been made!

Clang!

Click!

The dragon slaying sword was actually pierced by this dagger!

The dwarf immediately drew his dagger, and carefully observed the damage of the dagger, and found that the tip of the dagger had collapsed under the heavy blow, but the entire blade remained extremely intact!

Metal is not good!

The dwarf saw the crux of the problem at a glance. This short knife uses second-class blue steel, while his own dragon slaying sword uses high-grade black carbon steel, and theoretically, blue steel is better than black carbon steel. However, second-class blue steel is relatively soft, and high-grade black carbon steel is very hard. Being able to pierce the dragon slashing sword made of black charcoal steel and specially quenched with this contrast, the heat treatment of this short knife is indeed excellent!

Can I do it?

Golden Hammer asked himself.

He weighed, maybe, should, yes?

However, he couldn't do it so beautifully!

"Boy, how did you do it, so, so beautiful?"

The dwarf Golden Hammer was a little slurred, and he wasn't used to the word 'pretty' coming out of his mouth.

Dwarves like high-end atmospheric and high-grade, crazy and cool things, but they don't like to be pretty, in their opinion, they like beautiful elves, they are all sissies! Dwarves want to be fierce! strong! not pretty!

So, when the dwarf Golden Hammer saw a weapon, the first thing he thought of was that it was beautiful, how shocked he was in his heart.

When Long Yi saw the golden hammer's expression, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"This is actually made of some small things that I invented myself. ”

Long Yi replied.
