In the past few days, Lu An has stayed in the blacksmith shop honestly, not going out once, and experiencing this new surprise wholeheartedly.

Even Xia Luo was grounded by Old Man Yao, so that he was not allowed to go out, and practiced honestly, striving to be a blockbuster in this competition.

After reading it, he said with pity: "Xia Xiaozi has been really miserable these days, he has to practice until late at night every day, and then he was woken up again at dawn in the morning, and he was beaten as soon as he was lazy, and the whole person lost weight twice, Old Man Yao is really ruthless." ”

After hearing this, Lu An didn't think so, if there was no benefit, Xia Luo would listen to Old Man Yao so honestly?

But fortunately, this kind of day ended in only 3 days, and on this day, the craftsman competition officially began.

Xia Luo ran to the blacksmith shop early in the morning, and when he saw Lu An, his eyes were full of tears, and he grabbed Lu An and refused to let go.

Lu An saw that this Xia Luo had really lost weight, and even his complexion had darkened a little, and asked, "In the past three days, I heard that your life has been very fulfilling?"

When Xia Luo heard this, tears immediately fell, "In the past few days, Old Man Yao is simply not human, he has been staring at me for three days without sleep, and he has not let go of a slight, letting me toss the pile of broken iron from morning to night, and even standing beside me when I eat and sleep and, for fear that I will escape, I am really worse than dead in the past few days." ”

Lu Anhe, who was on the side, understood that when he heard this, the faces of the two of them suddenly changed, and he understood that he was facing the old man Yao behind him, and hugged his fists, "Old man Yao, this move is really strong, admire and admire." ”

Old man Yao replied with a pair of big black circles under his eyes: "There is no way, the apprentice is not angry, then the master can only find a way to make him fight for some anger, it's worth it." ”

Lu An patted Xia Luo's shoulder, with an expression of asking for more blessings in the future, and then packed up his things, and under the urging of Old Man Yao, the four of them rushed straight to their destination, the Craftsman Guild.

When the four of them arrived, they found that they had come quite early, and there were few people.

It was the first time for Lu An to go to the trade union, and the door outside didn't look big, but the square after coming in was a bit too big, and now it was full of stoves, and Lu An roughly counted at least more than two hundred, and it was unexpected, there were more than two hundred people who came to participate today.

Lu An sighed on the side, and Old Man Yao on the other side was complaining, "Why are there so many people this year, alas, it is really not as good as the generation." ”

"It's true that there are a little fewer people this year, the year I participated, there were at least 1,000 people, and now there are only more than 200. "I understand that I should also respond to it on the side.

The two old men began to sigh about the past again, and the two little ones looked at each other when they looked at the battle in front of them.

After a while, the stands around the square were already overcrowded, already full of people, noisy, noisy, but fortunately, the most basic order is still there, of course, it may also have something to do with the 4 grandmasters in the sky, for this competition, the craftsman city still values it very much, although Yu Wenyuan's mouth is more ugly, but the city lord's mansion still gives the union a lot of respect and help.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly slowly walked to the center of the square, coughed lightly, and then said, "Quiet." The voice directly overpowered everyone's voices, and the entire square instantly fell silent.

Lu An couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This big fat man, so powerful, one move shocked everyone." ”

understands the sarcasm: "It's just a straw bag, and it's just a bluff for children like you." ”

"Isn't this powerful?" Xia Luo was also shocked in front of him.

"Isn't this very powerful? Tian Man has had a loud voice since he was a child, so it's not surprising. Old man Yao said loudly.

"Tian Man?" asked Lu An.

"It's the fat man below, the current president of the trade union, who is lazy and lazy every day, and he is annoyed when he looks at it. Old man Yao said disdainfully.

"You know the fart, in that group of people, he has a better vision and can see a little more clearly, and the union will rely on him to support it, otherwise your chicken feather union would have collapsed a long time ago, and the rest of the people are a bunch of straw bales, only know how to cause trouble and fight for power, especially the one who died two days ago, he has no ability, but he has a big appetite, and he deserves to die. Clearly retorted.

Old man Yao, you and you said a few times, his face turned red with anger, but he didn't say one, two, three, probably in his heart, he also knew that this was the case, but he didn't want to admit that the place he had been in for decades was about to be hollowed out by others, and he was helpless.

Lu An watched the two of them competing, and vaguely felt that he should know something, but he didn't say it.

The following two old men are full of energy, and the president of the trade union in the center of the square is also spitting and talking energetically, which is nothing more than a bunch of polite words, welcome to everyone's arrival, Penglong is shining, and the name of the craftsman city is famous because of you, and then I hope that everyone who participates in the competition can have a good result, Yunyun.

Lu An yawned as he listened, and the scene was finally finished, and the next thing was business.

Tian Man said with a smile: " This time, 254 colleagues participated in the registration, the craftsman competition is a total of three competitions, after today's competition, 50 people are selected, tomorrow's second game, 10 people are selected again to enter the last game, the last 10 people can get the title of craftsman, the last day, the competition for the top three, the top three can get the title of craftsman and a big gift prepared by the trade union, 100 pounds of cold sand iron, ten spirit crystals, the top martial arts or a practice book treasured by the trade union, and finally the first place in this competition can also enter the arsenal of the city lord's mansion to select a thing. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the people in the audience suddenly cheered, and this reward was still very attractive to them.

After hearing this reward, Lu An turned his head to look at him.

Clearly said to Lu An: "Hansha Iron is good, this thing is a valuable thing, similar to ink iron, of course, those ten spirit crystals don't take it for nothing, the last thing depends on your liking, but there is no valuable goods in this union, it doesn't matter if you go or not, but there are more good things in the City Lord's Mansion, so you have to work hard, fight for the first place, today is the first day, don't be too brilliant, just play normally." ”

Lu An nodded suspiciously, after thinking about it, it also makes sense, there are so many people here, they are too brilliant, there will always be some strange eyes staring at him, and there may be some people looking for trouble at that time.

At this moment, Xia Luo pulled himself away, saying that he was going to start, and then gave a sign to Lu An and said: "This is the number I took when I signed up for you, you are 72, I am 71, I should be next to you, just take the number to find the corresponding stove." ”

Lu An nodded, and also searched all the way, and found it after a while, Xia Luo also found his own stove by Lu An's side, and then began to toss.

To be honest, Lu An has never seen others forging weapons throughout the whole process, from contact to now, Lu An has always been working hard alone, and there has always been a master by his side to guide, so he didn't want to go outside to steal a master, but now there are so many people who can take a peek, it seems to be quite good.

Lu An looked around, he was taken aback, all kinds of different lines were put up, forging is nothing more than a few elements, smelting, forging, quenching, grinding, each step here has different schools in different places, and the ways and methods used are also different, here is a furnace and some of the most basic things, if you want to make better weapons, these alone are definitely not enough, the necessary assistance is also very important, and then Lu An saw all kinds of things put on the stage, like what giant iron hammers, mini iron hammers, and all kinds of messy powders, and even pills, and finally all kinds of water used for quenching, all kinds of variety, Lu An's eyes were straight.

Turning his head, he glanced at Xia Luo, it was normal, except for taking a hammer and a bag of powder, there was nothing else, Xia Luo saw Lu An looking around, and then stared at himself again, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Lu An shook his head, and then pointed around, Xia Luo looked over, and he looked like he had never seen the world, his eyes widened, and he was strange and novel.

I understood that when Old Man Yao saw his apprentice in the stands, it would be like this, like a hillbilly entering the city, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead, ashamed.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a while, and a gong sounded, and it officially began.

Suddenly, the people who were still bustling just now quieted down suddenly, only the burning sound of the flame was left, and Lu An even saw many people directly calcining with true qi, which is said to save a lot of time.

The material used in this game is a relatively common black iron, which is characterized by a lot of impurities, and if the forging is not enough, the toughness will not be enough, and it is very easy to break, but if the forging is good enough, it is also a good weapon, and the one that Hu Yong gave to Lu An before was made of black iron, which looked very good, but unfortunately it was missing when it was in Cha County.

Lu An doesn't know much about black iron, so he definitely won't be stupid to use his true qi to calcine, it's not necessary to save so much time, it's better to be honest and follow the steps, and not to be the first bird.

While the iron was burning, Lu An began to look around again, and found that Xia Luo was adding something to the black iron, and couldn't help but be curious about what to add, just wanted to ask out loud, and saw that as soon as this thing was added, the whole flame burst up, Xia Luo was frightened, I don't know why this happened, this scene also instantly attracted everyone's attention, and several people around him couldn't help but mock: "People who can't even use cold flame powder also come to participate in the competition?"

When Lu An heard this, he asked curiously, "What is Cold Flame Powder?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked at Lu An with a look of disdain, "I don't even know that this thing has the courage to come?" This thing is used to support combustion, which can make the material heat faster, and can also be used to make fire, alchemy, array, etc., it is a very practical thing." ”

Lu An suddenly realized when he heard this, and Xia Luo on the other side was still frightened, how could this situation be different from usual, and he usually added it, but how could there be such a big reaction.

The old man Yao in the stands was speechless, "Usually let him practice with meteoric iron, but this kid won't be able to change to black iron?"

understands that the joy of watching it is non-stop, "The wealth is rich, but I just accepted a stupid apprentice." ”

Everyone was tossed by Xia Luo like this, their eyes moved over, and after a while of mockery, they accidentally turned to Lu An on the side, and found that this person was honestly burning iron with a small fire, and he didn't use other things to burn iron, and he also felt inexplicable.

Lu An realized that others had turned their eyes to him, and his face was strange, he didn't know what the situation was now, why he even despised himself.

The people in the stands, looking at these two peculiar combinations, also began to talk for a while, just like that, they didn't do anything, Lu An and Xia Luo were so famous, and they understood that Old Man Yao was also speechless for a while.

After a while, everyone was already forged, and the whole square was tinkling non-stop, but Lu An was still standing stupidly, just so out of place.

Lu An doesn't care, at this time, he can observe other people's forging methods again, and he has fun.

Old man Yao said clearly, "Is Xiao An too leisurely?"

understood and replied disapprovingly: "You don't understand, real geniuses don't pay attention to external things, just look at it honestly, my apprentice is much stronger than your apprentice." ”

Old man Yao choked again.

After looking at it for a while, Lu An found that Xia Luo hadn't even started forging yet, and was still burning iron, but he was obviously different from his own stupidity, Xia Luo was concentrating on controlling the fire, and the flames that were still running around in front of him had now turned blue, burning obediently in Xia Luo's hands, that piece of black iron, had already been burned white by this blue fire, and it looked very peculiar, maybe this is the advantage of the natural fire body, Old Man Yao once mentioned that the advantage of the natural fire body is a smelting, a forging, a quenching, and a forming.

Lu An looked at his piece of black iron, which finally became red at this moment, and looked around, and found that many people had already been forged and moved, so it was time for him to start.

Seeing that Lu An began to move his body, he hurriedly said to Old Man Yao: "Watch it carefully, there will be a good show soon." ”

Not only did Old Man Yao notice Lu An's movements, but everyone in the stands saw this scene, and everyone was very curious about this kid who had been standing stupidly for almost an hour, and he had been quiet for so long, and now he was going to make any moves.

Lu An put the red-hot iron on the anvil, and then a thin layer of pale golden mist condensed on his right hand, and then directly put his hand on the red black iron, and the golden light immediately entered the black iron, closed his eyes, and after a while, the five elements condensed all the impurities in it, and now this piece of black iron can be regarded as a piece of pure black iron, Lu An exhaled lightly, and his hand immediately returned to its original state.

After that, Lu An picked up the hammer and started his own forging, just like that, once, twice, three times, and after a while, it was directly forged into the shape of a sword, without dragging mud and water at all, Lu An took a look, and looked good, and couldn't help but nodded.

Then there is quenching, with the union to prepare the ordinary things, quenching, the sword made of black iron has been formed, and then it is a simple polishing, and the one I used before is exactly the same, the sword body as a whole is a little black, the smooth sword body exudes a kind of black iron exclusive ghostly light, the slender sword body makes people feel extraordinarily heavy, lightly flicked with a finger, the light sword sound followed, filling the entire square, everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

"Do you see? This kid is actually formed at one time, and he takes much faster to forge than others, simple and efficient. ”

"It's too fast, it's the slowest just now, and now it's the first to do it!"

"Did this person deliberately make such a gimmick and bluff people?"

"I think it may also be a gimmick, a stunned look, and now it is completed so quickly, and it is a third-rate product that only seeks speed, not quality. ”

There was a lot of talk in the stands.

He smiled smugly at Old Man Yao, "See?"

"Hmph, Charo is done too. Old man Yao said unconvinced.

After Lu An finished it, Xia Luo also finished it, a knife made of black iron, the ghostly light flickered, and the arrogance was compelling, and the two glanced at each other and smiled.

Tian Man squinted for a while, opened his eyes and saw that there were already two people in the field who had finished, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the two people who had just made a joke, and one of the people next to him saw Tian Man's confusion, and whispered a few times, Tian Man suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the disciples of these two, no wonder, the future is immeasurable, but it can really make trouble, oh, by the way, try not to let people disturb them, let them prepare for the competition, don't affect the mood of the game." ”
