"Senior Wang, Senior Hu, today's talk has really benefited me a lot! There will be more gatherings like this in the future!"
On the second floor of the Casting House, in front of the teahouse.
Lu Li saw Master Wang and Master Hu out with crazy polite words.
Master Wang smiled and said: "Master Lu is too polite. You are young and your skills are already above ours!"
Master Hu also said: "I have to accept my old age."
The Ascension World is an extraordinary world with extremely high individual strength. People who are adventurers or engaged in the adventurer industry account for more than 70% of the total population.
Those who never take risks are in the minority.
Such an environment must be very different from ordinary society.
Here, blacksmiths and alchemists are upper-class professions. Those who have real skills and can create excellent weapons and equipment are "status" people.
The three masters Lu, Wang, and Hu are famous people in Fengming City and even the entire 96511.
They sat together to have tea and chat, and held an "academic exchange meeting" like scholars. It was really elegant and classy.
It's definitely not arty.
"Master Lu, are you free now?"
During the conversation, the clerk from the store came running.
Lu Li looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The clerk pointed in the direction of the workshop: "A customer came to our store and said he wanted to use the workshop to create a spiritual weapon! The shopkeeper asked me to ask you, would you like to go over and take a look?"
Spiritual weapon? !
Lu Li was slightly startled, and Master Wang and Master Hu also looked at each other.
"Ha! Spiritual weapon forger? It turns out that we, 96511, still have such a great talent!" Lu Li smiled and turned to look at the two masters, "Two seniors, want to go and have a look together?"
Master Hu chuckled and said, "Spiritual weapon? Interesting! Master Wang, let's go take a look!"
"Then let's go!"
"please."
The three of them walked side by side, following the man towards the forging workshop.
In the workshop, Zuo Chang has been waiting for a while.
He heard footsteps, turned around and saw three people, two old and one young, coming hand in hand.
Their skin is not smooth, and has a black-red color that has been burned by fire for a long time.
Under the brocade clothes, the muscles are bulging, and the biceps and triceps are much stronger than ordinary people. At first glance, it seems that he has overused the hammer and is out of shape.
"I'm coming."
The shopkeeper smiled brightly and introduced Lu Li and the other two masters to Zuo Chang.
Lu Li looked at Zuo Chang and asked, "Master Zuo, are you the one who wants to create a spiritual weapon?"
Zuo Chang nodded: "Yes."
"Oh... do you need me to introduce you to the equipment in the workshop? Our casting workshop is newly opened, and we chose new equipment when we purchased it. I'm afraid you don't know the details."
"No need." Zuo Chang looked around with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "Your things haven't gone anywhere first, so I can only say that it is enough."
I--
Hard.
The fist is hard.
Lu Li needed to admit that Zuo Chang had some insight for saying this.
The equipment in the casting workshop is indeed not the most advanced.
But where can 96511, a five-digit community, get the most advanced forging equipment?
Even if you do it, you won’t be able to use it!
Master Wang has a straightforward nature.
Looking at Zuo Chang's tender skin and tender flesh, he knew that he was not a man who could keep a stove. And after hearing his arrogance, he really felt that he was superficial!
He shook his head and disdained to say anything: "Master Lu, I still have something to do in the store, so I'll leave first."
He hugged his fists and left.
Lu Li was equally disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Spiritual weapon forging is a profound skill. We can provide you with the materials. Master Zuo, what do you want?"
Want tungsten steel mithril source material.
but……
96511 definitely doesn’t have that kind of stuff that you won’t see much of in the later stages of the game, so it’s pointless to ask.
At this time, we can only make do with it.
Zuo Chang said: "I'll see if I can use it."
The shopkeeper quickly added: "Mr. Zuo, we have something to say beforehand - if you can't make a spiritual weapon, you have to buy all the materials at the original price."
"Of course!"
Zuo Chang smiled and nodded, walked to the workshop warehouse, took out about ten kilograms of processed magic steel, and planned to make a one-handed sword.
Lu Li put his hands behind his back and looked at Zuo Chang calmly, without any disturbance in his heart.
He was recognized and sought after at a young age, and was hired by the Forge with a large sum of money to become a master. He felt more than a little arrogant in his heart.
What Master Wang and Master Hu?
They are all mediocre!
As for this Zuo Chang——
Most likely, they are ignorant and incompetent.
Smelting in a hot furnace, cooling with water, supplemented by beating, and so on.
Time passes slowly.
What gradually changed, in addition to the magic steel that became brighter and brighter, and seemed to be very sharp, were the complexions of Lu Li and Master Hu.
The shopkeeper is considered an expert.
He hissed and said: "Master Lu, this Mr. Zuo seems to have something. I don't think his posture looks like a novice."
What newbie?
This is an expert!
Lu Li was shocked. In less than an hour, his mentality changed from disdain to doubt, from doubt to surprise, and finally from surprise to doubt again!
The first time I was confused, I was surprised that Zuo Chang seemed to really know how to blacksmith;
The second time I was confused, I was shocked by Zuo Chang’s superb skills!
He can now be sure that the quality of the sword in Zuo Chang's hand will surpass his "Dragon Slaying" after it is formed!
No.
It's not about surpassing, it should be about crushing!
Although his heart was in turmoil, Lu Li did not make any extra moves due to his status.
He didn't move, Master Hu couldn't stand!
Master Hu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master Zuo, from whom did you learn forging?"
Zuo Chang didn't even raise his head: "Learn from heaven and earth, imitate nature."
"……who?"
"It means self-taught, I taught myself."
Self-study…
Can self-study reach this level?
Master Hu whispered softly, and this strong man with arms thicker than his thighs made a sound like a sheep: "Your quenching skills are really the best I have ever seen in my life! The quality of a sword is largely due to The control of temperature - the temperature of the cooling water and the tempering temperature are both very important! Uh... Master Zuo, can you give me some advice on the secrets of this aspect?"
What Master Hu said is correct.
Quenching can improve the rigidity, wear resistance, fatigue strength and toughness of steel.
Whether you can choose the appropriate tempering temperature to improve the quality based on the current state of the steel is the dividing line between a master and a novice.
But the problem is...
Zuo Chang didn't understand the principle at all.
The reason why he can forge is purely because of his level 15 talent "Supernatural Craftsmanship".
All the previous operations were all based on "feeling" and "I think". He knows a hammer.
Zuo Chang couldn't answer Master Hu's question even if he wanted to, so he could only pretend to be sophisticated and said: "There is no mystery, practice makes perfect."
"Hehe... Master Zuo, it was me who took the liberty to peek into the secret..."
Master Hu cupped his hands but did not move away.
His eyes were as wide as a bell, observing Zuo Chang's every move, eagerly absorbing every possible detail.
