Chapter 40: The Nine Hundred and Ninety-Ninth Hammer
Chapter 40: The 999th Hammer
Qing Shui slowly pulled out the golden needle, and the man didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, which made Qing Shui admire his strength and endurance.
"Try moving your arms and see if there is any difference." Qing Shui said with a smile.
The burly man shook his shoulders, then punched slowly, then punched again, and finally punched harder.
"I can actually use all my strength." The man said happily. In the past, he could only use less than half of his strength at most, and even for blacksmithing, he could barely lift a big hammer.
"Thank you, my name is Hu You!" the burly man said happily, his tone was very sincere. Although he was very surprised, he did not lose his composure to the point of being ecstatic.
This is a man who knows how to exercise restraint.
"My name is Qing Shui, and from now on the two of us will manage this blacksmith shop together." Qing Shui chuckled.
"This blacksmith shop already belongs to you. I hope to start my career here in the future. I like the profession of blacksmith." Hu You said seriously but happily.
Qing Shui sighed, he could only do it later, he probably wouldn't agree to anything he said now!
The two of them came outside. Qing Shui saw Cang Hai Mingyue and Huo Yun Liuli looking at some weapons. When they saw Qing Shui coming out, they also walked towards this side.
"You should go through the process of making weapons first. I want to learn it, so don't mind." Qing Shui planned to learn blacksmithing after all. Although he knew the theory and process, he had never actually used it, so he decided to watch it.
one time.
Hu You nodded happily and picked up the iron to smelt it first to find the model of what he wanted to build...
Qing Shui looked at Hu You's technique and listened to some of the details and things he said that needed attention, until a sword took shape and was fished out of the water. After Hu You hammered it with no less than hundreds of hammers, it was barely legible.
The sword is out of the furnace.
Qing Shui knew that this was a demonstration so he went quickly. Of course, the quality was bad enough, but Qing Shui felt that Hu You's craftsmanship was not bad. Maybe he didn't have good props and materials, or maybe the place was simple and not famous.
The two women watched without saying anything, but they would look at Qing Shui who was very serious next to them from time to time. They were puzzled because they still didn't believe that Qing Shui wanted to blacksmith, although the blacksmith profession was not discriminated against, especially
Famous people are even more respected. It is important to know that there is a magic weapon that can make one's own strength extraordinary.
"Let me give it a try!" Qing Shui said with great enthusiasm.
Hu You smiled and left the place where the weapons were being forged.
Qing Shui was actually quite excited. After all, it was the first time and Qing Shui was somewhat looking forward to what he had created. Of course, he was also afraid of being disappointed.
Qing Shui looked at several models of swords here and found that the models here can be made by oneself. It is a kind of silver clay similar to mud. You can make any model you want. Silver clay is particularly resistant to high temperatures, so what can be forged?
They all use this kind of silver clay to make models.
Qing Shui thought of the model of the iron-toothed sword and made it according to the image in his mind. The appearance was not important, even a powerful fire stick could be used as a magic weapon.
Then Qing Shui chose an ordinary piece of iron raw stone to smelt it. The craftsmanship and the fine work that went into it were the key to its creation.
Soon the original body of an iron-toothed sword came out. After occupying the water, Qing Shui held the hammer and instilled the ancient divine power into it. He used the technique he had seen many times and began to beat the thick sword over and over again.
body.
Qing Shui was tapping awkwardly, but he was very happy, because the more Qing Shui knocked, the more he felt it. Seeing the slight changes in the sword body under the tapping, Qing Shui felt particularly satisfied.
The ancient divine power must be in an appropriate amount. This is what the ancient forging techniques say. Qing Shui knew that what he was hammering now was only the most common vanadium iron, which could only be used to make weapons, and they were weapons for the general public. They were durable after being worn, but were thick but not sharp enough.
Not only Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liuli were a little surprised to see Qing Shui's increasingly proficient skills, but also Hu You was getting more and more dumbfounded, because the simple sword body that was beaten under Qing Shui gradually gave off a soft luster, compared to Hu You's.
The one you made just now is obviously better.
Although Hu You had just finished the fight in a hurry, Qing Shui was a novice after all, especially with his clumsy technique at the beginning. It was guessed that he could not even achieve the symmetry of the sword body.
After that, it was obvious that Qing Shui was improving step by step, and becoming more and more free-spirited. Now, no one would believe that Qing Shui was just a novice.
Is he really a born blacksmith?
Qing Shui's hammering made people feel more and more mysterious. Although it was a simple strike, it gave people a particularly complex, simple and heavy flavor, and the sword body underneath also began to slowly take shape.
Qing Shui forged this iron-toothed sword, which was his first forging, according to the ancient forging techniques that he had used many times in his memory. Although the sword was rough in workmanship at first, it became more and more comfortable later on.
I feel more and more comfortable and comfortable.
After Qing Shui suddenly swung the hammer, the iron-toothed sword clearly emitted a faint cold light, indicating that the sword was completed, but Qing Shui sighed.
This was my first sword, and I kept counting silently, but the last blow was the nine hundred and ninety-ninth, which was one strike away from the sword that had been hammered for thousands of times.
The ancient art of forging said that it would take at least a thousand hammers to be considered barely qualified. The more you hammer, the better the quality of the weapon. Qing Shui knew that his skills were raw, and the material he chose was inferior, so he could only withstand the current quantity.
That ray of light indicated that it was done, and it would be in vain to knock on it again.
Qing Shui picked up this iron dagger. It had teeth on the edge and was three feet long. It looked a bit rough in workmanship, but there was a faint cold light on it that added a lot of color to the sword.
Qing Shui feels very comfortable in his hand, maybe it was created by his ancient divine power. Qing Shui likes the feeling of holding this sword very much. As soon as he holds it, Qing Shui clearly feels something different. It feels very comfortable, and he is used to seeing the sky.
Look towards the iron-toothed sword.
Agility plus one!
Qing Shui was stunned. Additional attributes?
At this moment, Qing Shui was really ecstatic. He originally felt sorry for the nine hundred and ninety-nine hammers just now, because if he didn't reach the thousand hammers, it would be considered a "failure".
But seeing that agility plus one, just that one plus one, Qing Shui's originally somewhat regretful expression suddenly became "radiant".
Under the influence of his celestial vision, Qing Shui could only see this additional attribute and no other attributes. Qing Shui was already used to it. After all, the Nine Provinces Continent was much more complicated than he thought.
Qing Shui can be sure that this additional attribute is the unique effect of his ancient forging technique, because Qing Shui has not found any additional attributes on the Big Dipper Sword, so that sword is definitely a good sword.
After a long time, Qing Shui raised his head and saw Cang Hai Mingyue and Huo Yun Liuli looking at Qing Shui blankly, because at a glance, it could be seen that the rough weapons in Qing Shui's hands were better than all the weapons in this blacksmith shop, but the swords were top-notch.
The brilliance of 'Lu' is what people yearn for the most, that is, only particularly good weapons can have this kind of brilliance.
"You are really a weirdo." Huoyun Liuli looked at Qing Shui strangely and then said in surprise as he took the three-foot iron-toothed sword from Qing Shui.
As soon as she grasped the iron-toothed sword, she stared blankly at Qing Shui, then looked at the iron-toothed sword again, then turned to hand it to Canghai Mingyue: "Sister Mingyue, look at this sword, it feels very special."
Qing Shui knew that the feeling she was talking about was the agility plus one attribute. Qing Shui knew that the unique attribute was added to the person who used it through the unique halo emitted by the iron-toothed sword, and the magic gem's
It's the same way.
Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liuli also stared blankly at Qing Shui. This man always surprises people. Holding this magical iron-toothed sword, she, who is at the peak of her innate ability, has already felt the strangeness of this sword.
Although it is very small, I can still clearly feel it. That kind of feeling can only be found on some extremely precious weapons. Most of those magic weapons can cut iron like clay, allowing their own strength to be exerted beyond normal.
It increases one's attack power in a disguised way. Of course, there are also some "wind swords" that can increase a certain speed. However, the remnant of the sword that I am holding now... I can clearly feel that only those who are called magic weapons
Sharp weapons are magical, but the bonus is too small.
"Give me this sword. I'll use it for sword dancing. It feels very comfortable in my hand." Huoyun Liuli said with a smile.
"Well, I'll give it to you later." Qing Shui said happily. At this time, he felt particularly satisfied. People actually like to be praised, even if they are extremely good in a certain aspect.
"Abnormality" is sometimes the highest compliment in a certain aspect, for example, a person's abnormality in martial arts is a compliment.
A woman who has conquered a country and brought disaster to her country and people, isn't that an extremely beautiful evaluation?
It was only then that Hu You muttered in a daze: "The art of divine refining..."
Qing Shui saw Hu You as if he had seen something incredible, muttering some divine forging technique, and his heart suddenly lurked, could this man named Hu You be talking about his ancient forging technique?
"What kind of divine refining technique?" Qing Shui asked Hu You curiously.
Qing Shui's question made Hu You seem to have just come back to his senses. He looked at Qing Shui longingly, but his expression seemed to suppress some of his own thoughts, and then he spoke slowly.
