Chapter Seventy-Five: Master Rong Ku
Ning Lin and the other six people all walked into the casting room, and the soldiers of the whole life announced loudly: "Close the door! The competition has officially begun!"
Ning Lin plucked out his ears, why did this sound so awkward, it seemed similar to "Close the door and let the dog go!"
Seeing the familiar furnaces, anvils, and hammers in the casting room, Ning Lin smiled slightly.
There is already a fire in the furnace, and there are five small cans on the table on one side, all of which are fire-boosting powders, not only fire fox bone powder, fire wolf bone powder, fire bear bone powder, and even fire finch feather powder and fire Jiao bone powder, which shows that the royal family has invested a lot of money for this competition!
There were three iron rods by the stove, all of which were made of fine iron.
To build a weapon, some people will even spend a few years trying to create a weapon in seven days, in addition to testing the caster's ability, the speed of building is also very important. That's why the royal family will provide three original billets that have already been built for selection, reducing the time.
"Yao'er, let's get to work!" Ning Lin shouted, took off his shirt, revealing a strong muscle, and stood in front of the stove, the oil on his body reflecting the fiery red fire......
An autumn rain and a cold!
It was another night of autumn rain, and the white jade floor of the square was washed clean.
The square in front of the palace hall was heavily guarded outside the six casting houses, and thousands of palace guards surrounded the square, and the Zhao and Ning families also sent their descendants to personally lead people to guard the side.
This competition is related to the development potential of the Zhao and Ning families in the next 20 years, and even to the distribution of power in the entire Glacier Empire! As long as the Ning family wins, not only can they get the power of Dongshan Prefecture, but they can also ensure that Ning Lin can successfully participate in the Tenglong Society, which means that the Ning family will have one more immortal within a few years. If the Zhao family wins, they will inevitably send someone to hunt down Ning Lin, and the Ning family will not only lose face, but also have less hope!
The major families in the imperial capital attach great importance to this game. But with the three of the two participants, the Zhao family has a better chance of winning. In the past few days of the competition, many families have frequently sent people to the Zhao family to show their goodwill, hoping to make friends with the Zhao family and be taken care of by the Zhao family in the new round of rights distribution.
On the other hand, the Ning family can be said to be full of doors, and no one comes to the door at all. The warmth and coldness of human affection are undoubtedly revealed at this moment!
In the early morning of the sixth day of the competition, the people guarding the square suddenly found that the Ning family's first foundry room was on fire. Someone who knew how to cast immediately shouted, "It should be time to put away the fire!"
Sure enough, the firelight only lasted less than half an hour, and suddenly converged, and then there was a clear sound of "zi" from the foundry room, which was the sound of the weapon entering the water to cool down!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the door of the Ning family's first casting room was pushed open, and Ning Dong, the first-class foundry master of the Ning family, walked out of the casting room with a tired face.
The Bi Shengbing standing on the stage saw a long knife in Ning Dong's hand, and shook his head slightly, although he didn't look closely, but just from the luster of the long knife and the sheen on the body, he could conclude that this long knife didn't even reach the level of a weapon!
Soon the guards sent the long knife to Bi Shengbing, Zhao Shengcun, and Ningbo, and after Bi Shengbing checked it repeatedly, he said loudly: "Ning has created an eighth-level sharp weapon long knife......
Ningbo sighed secretly, the results are not ideal! But he was able to create an eighth-level weapon in just six days, and Ning Dong did his best, after all, he was only a first-level caster!
At this moment, flames also appeared in the first casting room of the Zhao family, and nearly an hour later, Zhao Likuan walked out of the casting room with a long sword in his hand. After the appraisal of the lifelong soldier, this is a ninth-level sharp weapon, which is only a fraction of a millimeter worse than the weapon.
In the first game, the Zhao family narrowly won!
Zhao Shengcun looked at Ningbo and laughed proudly, laughing so much that Ningbo was almost annoyed, and almost staged an all-martial arts with Zhao Shengcun in front of the emperor.
Fortunately, it was pulled away in time, but Ningbo's black face was even more gloomy, and now everything can only depend on Ning Lin!
On the seventh day of the competition, Zhao Shengren and Ning Jia's Soldier Casting Division Tranquility went out of the customs in the evening, but this time it was the Ning family who had a slight advantage, and Tranquility created a second-level weapon blood blade long knife within seven days, while Zhao Shengren only created a first-class weapon long sword.
Ningbo looked at Zhao Shengcun proudly, and finally got a little evil.
"Don't forget that Master Rong Ku is a seventh-level forger!" Zhao Shengcun's words made Ningbo worry again.
As the sun gradually sank in the west, at midnight, the Zhao family's last foundry room suddenly burst into flames.
Bi Shengbing stood on the stage and nodded slightly, to have such a strong light, it means that the junior brother has used firefinch feather powder. This competition is different from the previous build, the time is too tight, and the original billet provided by the royal family is not built by the foundry masters, so everyone is not very familiar with the original billet, in this case if the fire is too fierce, it is very likely that the original billet will be burned at once, but we have no time to rebuild. The four people who have finished the game are only using fire bear bone powder at most, and Rong Ku dares to use fire feather powder, which is already a step stronger, and it is a reflection of his strength!
The flames reddened the entire square, and continued for nearly an hour.
At this time, there are only about three hours before the end of the game, and the game will end at dawn, but in the casting room where Ning Lin is located, only the sound of clanging iron is still heard, but there is no fire, does Ning Lin want to give up the game? Everyone in the Ning family pinched a cold sweat for Ning Lin!
The fire in the foundry room where Rong Ku was gradually weakening, and the final quenching had ended, just waiting for the final cooling, everyone was looking forward to what kind of weapon Master Rong Ku could create in these seven days!
Half an hour later, the door of the foundry room was finally opened, and Rong Ku walked out with a long sword. The long sword is about four feet long, shining brightly, and against the background of the surrounding firelight, it looks like a rising sun, which makes people dare not look directly!
Rong Ku walked to the stage with a long sword and gave the long sword to the soldiers: "Please give me advice!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Bi Shengbing carefully took the long sword.
"The sword body is tough, the blade is sharp, it is indeed a good sword...... "Bi Shengbing waved his long sword lightly, a cold light flashed, and the people around him couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Fetch the Soldier Stone!"
Immediately, someone from the Foundry Association brought a one-foot-square black boulder and put it in front of the soldiers.
"Senior brother, wait for my brother to try the power of this sword!" The soldier held the sword in his hand and slashed at the soldier stone.
The long sword is not won by force, and it is not suitable for such a trick. However, the material of the weapon is special, no matter what weapon is cut up, it will not hurt the weapon itself, but the depth of the weapon into the stone can be used to judge the level of the weapon.
In a flash of cold light, the sword slashed into the soldier examination stone, and it was about five inches into the stone!
"Level 5 weapon!" exclaimed in surprise.
