Chapter 320: Indisputable Controversy
The copper hammer has been drifting outside for many years, and in the honest and upright nature of the dwarf demons, he has also tempered a bit of cunning temperament, of course, he saw that the senior brother Bronze Helmet was unwilling to give up the number of casters, therefore, it was decided that it would be better to stir up the general, so it was a two-pronged approach, setting up an ambush in the words, just say a fact that the copper helmet did not want to believe, and then the two sides gambled to prove it, and naturally they could get this long-coveted place, and they could also show their apprentice's ability, so that the senior brother was convinced.
At this moment, seeing that his senior brother was gradually entering the palace, he concealed the pride in his heart and said, "Senior brother, I am willing to make a bet with you, what if my apprentice can forge twenty pieces of Earth Demon Bronze Crystal in one day?"
The bronze helmet could not believe such a miracle, and his eyes widened and said: "If he can really forge twenty earth demon copper crystals in one day, I will, I will ......"
The bronze helmet hesitated in his heart, knowing that he would win, but the other party only had two caster places in his hands, and if he missed this opportunity, several apprentices who should have been promoted would have to wait for another year.
The copper hammer stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "I think you are afraid, if you dare to bet, you will bet on the number of casters, can you dare?"
The bronze helmet pondered for a long time, got up angrily, and swore with the bronze hammer: "If he can really do such a miracle, it is nothing more than waiting for one more year, and what if I give him the place of this caster......?"
The copper hammer said happily: "If he loses, I will never step out of the furnace fort again, and stay here for the rest of my life at the disposal of my senior brother!"
This pair of brothers have been brothers and sisters since childhood, but they compete in casting skills, they are on par with each other, and no one is willing to obey anyone, and now they hear the promise of the junior brother, it is the wish that he asked him to leave the furnace castle at the beginning, and now he actually took this as a note, and the bronze helmet shouted: "Okay, a word is a certainty!"
The two didn't have time to talk much, they just met and bet on winning or losing, when the bet contract was established, the bronze helmet did not waste time, he was also going to try his apprentices with casting, and the winner inherited the casting master quota this time, so he simply carried it out at the same time.
He came to the hall again and shouted loudly: "Apprentices, I made a bet with your uncle to cast twenty pieces of Earth Demon Bronze Crystal a day, and the bet is the quota of the foundry, who will you dare to fight?"
The apprentices' faces turned white when they heard this, such a crude skill as casting earth demon copper crystals was only done by the magician's apprentice, and the casters were not willing to do it at all, but even if the casting process was constantly simplified and the process was constantly improved, it was impossible to forge twenty earth demon copper crystals a day, so no one answered,
Ji Wenming heard another meaning in the gambling contract, the master is going to pit the master uncle! Therefore, he did not take the initiative to stand up.
"Tongde, come here! This time, your master originally wanted to give you a place as a forger, but I was afraid that your skills would not be perfect, so I asked you to compete with these senior brothers of yours, and you first came to give them a demonstration. The copper hammer couldn't let Ji Wenming be stunned, and ordered decisively.
Ji Wenming silently walked out of the room, lowered his head for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Master, there are no furnaces and flowing lava flames here!"
The copper hammer suddenly remembered that this was not the ancient city of Cangba, but the seventy-third floor of the furnace fort, which was quite far away from the underground lava.
The bronze helmet laughed and said, "I also have my own foundry workshop below, since we have a competition, we might as well go there and show our skills, okay?"
Everyone is very curious about why the little junior brother taught by the uncle is so magical, at this moment, several senior brothers whose strength is close to the casting master also took the initiative to stand up and be willing to compete, not to mention casting twenty pieces of earth demon copper crystal in a day, since the teacher came up with the problem, everyone did their best, and the largest number was the winner.
Everyone took the fire rock ladder straight into the ground, and the tea kung fu arrived at the underground casting platform, where the heat was extremely high, the location was several zhang above the lava flame, and the furnace was heated by absorbing the fire resources of the earth, and the slightest carelessness could fall into the lava flame and burn to ashes.
The bronze helmet was a large caster, with its own workshop, and a huge space, with dozens of furnaces installed in it, apparently for daily teaching.
Ji Wenming looked around and found that the scene was extremely messy, but the tools were complete, and there were ready-made chains to choose from, which were usually made by apprentices.
Ji Wenming's mentality changed at this moment, even if he didn't fight for the quota, he couldn't embarrass the master, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Shi, that senior brother dares to compete with me?
The bronze helmet said happily: "Of course, these tools are at your disposal, the three of you come out, iron wood, iron rod, and iron plate, and play with your little junior brother, and let your uncle see everyone's craftsmanship!"
According to the instructions of the bronze helmet, the three hill dwarfers walked out of the crowd, each saluted to the bronze helmet, and then occupied a furnace respectively, and said: "I am only a shallow learner, and my skills are not refined, I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve twenty ingots a day, but the limit of five or six ingots can still be surpassed!
One of them is the iron rod brother who has encouraged Ji Wenming, this dwarf demon has followed the bronze helmet for decades, hard-working, but he has never been promoted, but he didn't expect to be finally selected by the copper helmet this time, and he wants to compete for the quota with Ji Wenming, and his eyes are suddenly green.
Ji Wenming walked to the side, picked a chain dozens of zhang long, dragged it in his hand, nodded and smiled: "Senior brothers are polite, it's almost the same as the junior brother to play with you! Let's start here!"
The copper hammer was too lazy to talk nonsense, glanced at the copper helmet, and got his nod in agreement, and then shouted: "The game starts now!"
The three dwarf brothers began to heat the furnace with a clear eye, then stuffed the ore into the furnace, and after a few moments, added a catalyst and pulled up the bellows to accelerate the melting of the ore.
The bronze helmet sat next to him with the copper hammer, chatting while drinking, but when he saw Ji Wenming dragging down two intact furnaces from two unmanned casting points, he was shocked and said, "This kid didn't hurry up to start the fire, but dismantled my furnace, what is this doing?"
Not to mention the bronze helmet, even the apprentices who watched the battle beside him were caught off guard by Ji Wenming's actions, "The game has begun, this kid can't be crazy, playing with iron chains again, and dismantling the stove, what is this trying to do?"
The copper hammer leaned against the wall proudly, and said with a smile: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, haven't you heard of this truth? Anyway, there is still a day, you just wait and see!"
The bronze helmet thought about it for a while, no matter how this kid forges, let's just see the result, what is the difference between being so anxious and those hairy boys?
The three of the dwarf demons who participated in the competition were sitting in front of the furnace at the moment and sweating profusely, the three of them were at the same level of skill as each other, just to see who had a good psychological quality and better physique, maybe they could get an extra piece and a half of the Earth Demon Copper Crystal to get the bet reward, so they didn't dare to relax, not so much to compete with the little junior brother Ji Wenming, but rather to say that the three of them were competing with each other, one by one, their eyes widened, and they wanted to surpass each other.
