That day, after Keel put the things back in his house, he had some archery training, and then went to hang out in the table corner tavern he often went to.
"What have you been doing lately, Keel?" Todd asked Keel, who was sitting in front of him, as he wiped his glass.
"Have a glass of the best ale, and then some meat. I'm trying to repair my long sword recently." As soon as Keel sat down, he asked for some food and drink first.
Todd brings things up quickly, and they're the most commonly ordered items, so they're easy to make.
Keel touched the rich-smelling ale to the drinker next to him, and then gulped it down.
"Ha! Cool."
"I've seen your long sword. It's an excellent weapon. What's wrong? I need to find a way to fix it?" Todd chatted with Keel about it.
Kiel briefly told about how he fought with the bandit leader at the bottom of a corpse pit full of living corpses when he eliminated the bandits. Because of beheading those unknown living corpses, his long sword was polluted a lot.
"The long sword is full of black spots that have eroded into the blade. It looks very serious, and I don't even dare to pinch it too hard." Kiel said with a shrug.
"This is terrible. I thought those legends were all made up by bards. I didn't expect that Kendall also has such terrible things as living corpses." The drinker next to him said casually, although he saw It seems that he believes what Keir said, but in fact he doesn't believe it at all. He just expresses some irrelevant opinions after drinking, saying things that everyone would say.
Todd was a little interested in the corpse pit that Keele said, and he asked Keele about the details of the incident.
But when I heard Kiel say that when Kiel came there again, he had been completely wiped out by the magic ceremony organized by the Church of the God of the Dead in Bingxun Pass.
"It's a pity, you said that if I find some people to capture one or two living corpses and put them in wooden cages for display, will it attract people to pay to watch them?" Todd said regretfully while wiping the cup.
Keir shrugged, he didn't know and no one was looking, but he was sure that the town managers would definitely not let these things enter the city, nor would the city gate guards allow them in.
"Then find a farm outside the city? Or guide people who want to see novelties directly in the wild?" Todd didn't give up, and kept raising some possibilities.
On the other side, another drinker sneered: "Do you think those churches eat porridge? The Church of the God of the Dead in the city will definitely arrest you. Don't even think about it. Besides, who do you go to?" Get the living corpses, if they're still there."
Todd mentioned a few names, all young people he had come into contact with in the past few days. They were energetic, had received simple martial arts training, and their equipment was similar to that of Keir a few months ago.
Keir met Todd's gaze: "It seems that they are all guys with some strength, but really, when I went to that place for the second time, a big round hole was punched out by the church's magic ceremony. It's like it's been dug out of the ground with a huge spoon. Everything's gone, except for a hole."
After a pause: "Also, I heard from a shepherd who stayed there to deal with the follow-up matters that they will invite the two gods of water to turn it into a small lake."
A drinker next to him corrected Kiel: "He is the lord of lakes and rivers, or the **** of lakes and rivers. The **** of water is a higher god, which is different."
Keel scratches his hair and takes a sip of his wine.
In the following time, Kiel talked to Todd about the few people Todd had organized after losing Kiel.
Keel suggested they could start with small things around town.
Regarding this, Todd has a correct understanding: "I know this, so I took a job and asked them to go to the woods outside the city to find some herbs that only appeared in winter. The price of herbs is still okay, just right They can be trained to survive alone in the wild forest."
"It's cold in winter, so you must be prepared for the cold." Kiel reminded.
--
The next day, after Keel took care of his horses, he followed the old hunter for bow training.
As soon as Keir finished his work, he went out and said he would not come back at noon.
He first went to the tavern to buy some food and drink to bring with him. After all, he had heard from the craftsman that it would take a whole day, and they definitely didn't care about the food, so Kiel had to prepare his own food.
When you come to the artisan area, first say hello to Ganna who has started working, and ask how the manufacturing of the new armor is going.
After getting Ganner's no-problem answer, Keir went to the next door, the weapons forging workshop.
As soon as he entered, Keir could feel the atmosphere was very different. The workshop was full of apprentices working. Only a young craftsman who had shown his face in the weapon forging competition during the Harvest Festival was supervising the work of the apprentices, but he I was absent-minded, and turned my head frequently to look into the depths of the workshop, with envy and longing in my eyes.
Kiel explained his situation to the craftsman, and was led to a precision forging table deep in the workshop.
There are all kinds of forging tools and utensils in this precision forging table, and they are obviously good goods, not the old tools outside. Even the iron felt is black and reflective after being wiped.
At this time, it was very lively here, and many weapon forging craftsmen were inspecting various things under the command of the pastor craftsman.
Whether the charcoal and high-heat coal are properly prepared, whether the forging tools have been repaired before, whether the furnace has been heated up, whether the bellows operated by multiple people have been inspected and repaired to ensure long-term blasting work.
All kinds of these, and so on.
Seeing that Kiel was coming, the shepherd craftsman introduced Kiel to the other craftsmen, but obviously, compared to the weapon that was about to be forged, the owner of the weapon, Kiel, was not the focus of the craftsmen's attention. Just cast a glance.
Kiel shrugged, who told him he was too young.
The shepherd craftsman came to the house where Kiel paid the money before, and after a while, he took out Kiel's long sword hunt and the things that need to be forged this time.
The craftsmen are all paying attention to these things, and they are talking about how to get these rare magic materials, wait for their chief craftsman.
Some craftsmen have been in contact with the forging of magic material weapons, but their experience is scarce, the level of weapons they make is very average, and the amount of magic materials used is also very small.
And the various magic materials purchased by Kiel in this hemorrhage are not only of various types, but also in a large amount. What is more remarkable is that it is not forging a new sword from scratch, but repairing a contaminated one. Ordinary stainless steel long sword, and then strengthen it.
All-round strengthening.
In this regard, the craftsmen are very curious, and want to see how the Mu craftsmen do it and learn from it.
As the shepherd of the **** of craftsmen, the craftsman who repaired and strengthened Kiel's long sword originally took this opportunity to let other craftsmen learn.
-
After a while, everything was checked, and the animal husbandry craftsman started to repair and strengthen the long sword.
Picking up the tools, the craftsman first disassembled Kiel's long sword.
The scabbard was taken apart, as was the hilt and grid. On the hilt, he left the outer leather of the hilt, then removed the wooden hilt inside, took out the magic material - the wood core blessed by the Saturnalia Church, and cut off the excess with a sharp knife. The outer woody part, leaving only the core of the essence inside.
He compared the difference between the two, and then carefully began to cut the shape of the wooden core.
At the same time, he also directed other craftsmen to put the red copper and black iron in the magic material into the rock jar in the furnace, and directed the other craftsmen to start agitating the bellows to blow fresh air into the furnace.
There is also a special craftsman who is responsible for the fuel work of the stove. This person must ensure that there is sufficient high-heat clean coal in the stove at all times.
Kiel leaned over to take a look, and found that the two magic materials put into the furnace melted very slowly under the high temperature. After asking the craftsman, he found out that this was a normal phenomenon.
This is the case with many metal ore magic materials. Under normal temperature, their properties are stable, and it is difficult to change them. They will change better only at high temperature. I heard that it is relatively easy to enter an active form of transformation when stimulated by magic power. Regarding this point, the craftsmen have nothing to do.
After all, we are not magicians. It can only be done by relying on the basic method of long-term high-temperature heating.
The shepherd craftsman heard Kiel's question, and he had another answer: "In fact, advanced alchemists can also use some strange techniques to make two conflicting magic materials come into contact, which can easily make some magic materials come into contact with each other. Go into shapeshifting."
Keir nodded, indicating that he remembered.
The traditional methods of craftsmen, the magic power of magicians, and the magic materials of alchemists collide.
It seems that there are many ways to do it.
After seeing that the temperature of the furnace reached the highest temperature, the craftsman put Kiel's disassembled long sword blade into the middle of the furnace.
Kiel leaned over to look, and found that his long sword was heated and brightened quickly. The evil forces of pollution that had been eroding it before, at this time, turned from the red and shiny long sword into green smoke under the high temperature. out.
Although there are few green smokes, they are as black as ink, surrounded by high-temperature flames, they twist and change into human faces, making howls.
Then it completely turned into scattered smoke and dust, and disappeared along the flue on the stove.
Kiel looked at a craftsman who was watching the flames of the stove in surprise: "Did you see it? Those things that eroded my sword just now?"
The craftsman nodded solemnly: "I see, what did this sword cut?"
"Hey, it's just some living corpses, nothing."
The craftsman shrugged and said nothing.
Next to it, the shepherd craftsman cut the wooden core into the original handle of Kiel's long sword. Then, he collected the excess wood core and other cut wood, and began to splice them according to Kiel's long sword scabbard.
The hands of the Mu craftsman are very skillful. It is estimated that when he cut the wood core just now, he considered the use of other wood.
He assembled these discarded woods into a scabbard, and then directly cast the unknown magic to make these woods come into close contact with each other.
The new scabbard has a wooden shape, not only does it not look low-grade, but because the wood is shining faintly, it looks very high-end and elegant.
"What's its name?" the craftsman asked Kiel.
Keir was watching beside him, and after hearing the question, he replied directly: "Hunting! It has been helping me hunt my prey and enemies."
"Simple and direct, very good. At least it's much better than a nonsense name like Isola Chenguang." Speaking of words that Kiel didn't understand, the shepherd craftsman wiped the wooden surface of the scabbard with his hand, and the scabbard naturally The name left in the common language of the empire appeared.
"Is there anything you want to say to it? Or is there a goal to make it come true?" the animal husbandry craftsman asked again.
Keir thought about it, and although he didn't understand it, it might be beneficial. So after thinking about it, there is nothing that needs a sword to achieve, but what do you want to say to it?
"Well, the hunting trip never stops?" Kiel hesitated and said.
"Drink, it doesn't sound easy. It might be very tiring, is that all?"
"That's it. After all, the long sword is a weapon as well as a tool. Isn't that the mission of a tool?"
"Young man, you are still young. Weapons not only represent a created tool, but they also contain too many meanings, which you will understand later." After speaking, the animal husbandry craftsman reached out to touch the back of the scabbard again, What Kiel called 'a never-ending hunt' rested on the shimmering wood of the scabbard.
-
Kiel picked up the completed scabbard. The surface of the scabbard shimmered and fluctuated, but it was still slowly getting stronger.
With a thought in his heart, he rolled up the clothes on his wrist, and a wooden bracelet on his wrist was like a scabbard, emitting an undulating blue light.
However, compared to the shimmering light on the scabbard, the blue light of the bracelet is very strong.
Raising his eyebrows, Kiel put down the clothes on his wrists, and then put the scabbard on the stone table.
On the other side, the shepherd craftsman checked the melting of the red copper and black iron, nodded, and then he took out Kiel's long sword with pliers, and directly smashed it into the middle of the long sword with a hammer.
There was no expected metal collision, and the long sword heated by high temperature was very soft, and it was bent into a U shape when the hammer hit it.
The hammer hit again, and after a few blows, Kiel's long sword was smashed into a square of molten steel.
Putting the metal back into the stove, the craftsman turned a mechanism of the stove, and then all the heat of the stove was concentrated in the middle.
Taking out a high-temperature resistant mold, the Mu craftsman asked other craftsmen to pour the melted red copper and black iron into the high-temperature resistant mold in the middle.
The molten metal mass of Kiel's long sword was also placed inside.
Soon, they all gradually melted together, but still distinct from each other.
The animal husbandry craftsman took out the high temperature resistant mold and placed it in front of the stove. Then let the craftsmen agitating the bellows rest, just to ensure that the stove does not go out.
Then he took out a metal rod and began to stir the incompatible metal clumps.
The metal cluster is in a semi-molten state, like a mass of magma emerging from a volcano, it is extremely viscous, and it takes a lot of effort to stir it.
He stirred clockwise for a while, and then another craftsman took over.
When the temperature of the metal dropped, everyone agitated the bellows again to heat up the furnace and heat the metal mass again.
Heat, stir, heat and stir.
Until noon, Kiel ate what he had brought, and the other craftsmen also ate the watery and salty thick soup one by one.
Drinking soup is to replenish water, and eating salty food is to replenish the salt lost by sweating.
The pastor craftsman has been watching the situation of the metal group. As he watched, he ate his bread with fat. The bread is not the kind of coarse-grain bread that ordinary people eat, but a delicious bread baked from the dough made of finely ground flour and milk, and then fully fermented.
This kind of bread is sandwiched with fried fat meat, which is very fragrant.
This food was brought in from outside by a trainee shepherd of the God of Craftsman Church. It seems that becoming a relatively strong church pastor is much better than ordinary people in terms of power and treatment.
Keel thought so while eating the food he brought.
"Attention, everyone, come and take a look." The craftsman Mu suddenly made a voice, which attracted the attention of everyone present.
After everyone approached, the animal husbandry craftsman pointed to the metal cluster and said, "Look carefully, the current state of the metal cluster means that they are all mixed together now."
Kiel didn't see anything, but the other craftsmen seemed to have some relevant experience, so some of them suddenly realized something, and some of them saw something without saying a word.
At this time, the animal husbandry craftsman begins the next step.
He waited for the metal ball to cool down a bit, and then used iron tongs to beat the shiny metal ball with a hammer after it solidified a little.
The metal is first hammered into a ball and then into a long strip.
Then he hit out the root of the sword first, then clamped the root of the sword with iron tongs, and put the front blade into the stove to slowly heat it.
After the sword body was heated, he swung an iron hammer to knock out the basic shape of the long sword.
In general, the long sword is similar to before, but due to the addition of new magic metal, the overall weight has increased a lot, and the volume has only increased a little.
After the forging was completed, the surface color of Kiel's long sword became very strange.
The original fish scale grooves disappeared and became flat and smooth, while the upper and lower sides of the sword turned into a mixed metallic color. The overall hair is gray and dull, but as long as the light shines, you can see the conspicuous red copper color.
Kiel saw that the shepherd craftsman made the root of the sword body slightly flatter. The long sword as a whole is slightly wider at the root, and then starts to become thinner from the middle, which is suitable for Kiel's more commonly used stabbing.
Then heat the whole body again, and then take it out and put it in the quenching oil prepared by other craftsmen.
It has not been taken out all the time. After the temperature of the quenching oil drops and the long sword inside cools down a little, the reforged long sword is taken out for cleaning.
After cleaning, the pastor craftsman clamped the most expensive metal piece of the Sun God church blessing with a pair of iron tongs, and put it in the blazing stove. The piece of metal scorched by the flames glowed white, and it moved restlessly from side to side in the iron tongs.
The other craftsmen looked at it curiously, not daring to make any more noise. They probably heard the price of this item, it was really expensive.
After the shaking of the metal piece was difficult to control with the iron tongs, the shepherd craftsman removed it from the stove and placed it on the side of the sword root of the long sword.
Suddenly, his hand no longer clenched the iron tongs, and the white light came out like a metal piece of a little sun breaking free from the iron tongs, just like a baby swallow returning to the forest, the metal piece directly stuck to the sword body with a clang.
Immediately, the entire long sword vibrated. The white light that originally shrouded the metal sheet began to spread along the blade to the entire long sword, and the dazzling white light emanated from the long sword.
Everyone squinted their eyes, not wanting to let go of every moment.
Soon, the white light converged and disappeared. Everyone rubbed their eyes and found that the original metal piece was gone, and on the sword body at the root of Kiel's long sword, there were more fine words extending from the root of the sword to the middle of the blade.
The text becomes larger, and what is written can be seen a little bit.
Kiel leaned over and read a little bit: "Light and fire are held by the gods. Light is the root and body. Fire is the leaves and the surface. Don't chase the flames, you should chase the light. Look up, the light is here In heaven, the great God is also in heaven."
baffling.
The shepherd craftsman didn't seem to like Kiel's continued reading, picked up the brand new long sword that was not hot, and began to assemble the sword frame on the long sword~www.mtlnovel.com~Then came the core of the wooden core.
The cores of the two wooden cores were put together on the root of the sword, and then the strips of leather removed earlier were used to wrap around the hilt, and finally wrapped around the bottom of the root of the sword.
He murmured a prayer in a low voice, his hands glowed red, he held the root of the long sword in one hand, and the moonlight iron in the other, gradually approaching the two, and then the extra piece of metal at the heel of the sword changed and split, as if He opened his mouth alive and bit the ball-shaped moonlight iron in one bite.
Ding!
With a soft sound, the entire long sword trembled.
The shepherd craftsman held the long sword in his hand, checked it, and then smiled confidently. He then handed over the sword to the other underhand craftsmen for inspection.
When the long sword was in their hands, it was safe and sound, and there was no movement at all, but in the end, when it was handed over to Kiel, the long sword trembled, the blade emitted a strong white light, and the hilt emitted a strong blue light. As for the sword tail, although it is soft, it can still be seen no matter how bright the light is in other places.
Kiel squinted his eyes under the light, and asked the craftsman: "What's going on? Although it looks good, it's always on, and I can't see anything."
The craftsman wiped his palms and arms with a damp cloth to remove some metal debris and soot.
He smiled: "Your sword, don't ask me. You can try to tell it your requirements and ideas."
Keir looked at the fool and said, "You want me to talk to it?"
"Give it a try." The craftsman still said the same.
Other craftsmen also said one after another: "Try it quickly. A sword has a spirit, and usually it can understand the master's words quite well."
Kiel looked puzzled, but decided to try anyway.
