Chapter 18 18. Forging
Mo Xuan felt that his body was full of strength after drinking the potion. He also felt this feeling during the talent test. Mo Xuan understood that this was the feeling of becoming stronger at the attributes.
Mo Xuan picked up the hammer, waved it slightly, and felt the changes in his body. Taking a deep breath, Mo Xuan walked to the stove.
"From the beginning, I used bronze that was easy to forge." Uncle Tie pointed to the bronze piled beside him.
"Yes." Mo Xuan nodded and picked up a piece of bronze from the pile of bronze beside him.
Is it a iron? Mo Xuan looked at the bronze in his hand and thoughts.
Can I do it? Can I succeed? How to do it?
Mo Xuan's heart was full of tension and anxiety. Huh! Mo Xuan breathed out to calm himself down and eliminated his uneasy thoughts. Mo Xuan knew very well that no matter how nervous he was, he could not increase the chance of success. Instead, it would affect his swing and reduce his success rate. So what he should do now is to calmly think about how to succeed.
After calming down, Mo Xuan thought about it, recalled and summarized the forging knowledge he knew. As he thought about it, Mo Xuan became uneasy again, because he found that he didn't know any other details except that he knew how much iron was used to create a sword, how much time should be used to quench it, the appearance design of the sword, etc., he didn't know any questions.
Haha! Depend on the feeling! Anyway, the game is enough!
When Mo Xuan thought of the forging knowledge seen in fantasy novels, he relied on his feelings at this time. Although there was something that seemed quite reasonable, it was the knowledge in fantasy novels after all! Mo Xuan laughed dryly, now he could only pray that the knowledge in fantasy novels was reliable, haha! I hope I could make a sword.
Mo Xuan shook his head and took back his messy thoughts and started to act. When he was about to throw the bronze in his hand into the big stove, a bunch of questions popped up in Mo Xuan's mind: Is it okay to throw it in like this? How to take it out later? The temperature of the stove?
Mo Xuan's hand stopped.
"I can't!" Mo Xuan showed a pitiful look for help and looked at Uncle Tie and Kabus behind him.
Uncle Tie and Qabus looked at Mo Xuan standing in front of the stove and smiled on his face. Especially Uncle Tie could not help but smile. At this time, he saw Mo Xuan looking for help, and quickly curled his smile and came to Mo Xuan and said seriously: "No, if you don't understand, you have to ask."
Uncle Tie pointed to a large tong that was placed not far from the anvil: "First, take that big tong to send the bronze into the stove. The temperature of the stove is enough. Don't worry."
Mo Xuan did as Uncle Tie said, put down the hammer and took the bronze with big tongs, and sent the bronze into the stove.
"The next thing is to wait, wait until the bronze softens at high temperature, and then take it out forge and shape it." Uncle Tie stared at the stove, and after a while, Uncle Tie said, "It's OK, take it out."
Mo Xuanlian used big tongs to clip out the red bronze and put it on the anvil. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Uncle Tie and said, "What should I do next?"
"I'll help you fix it, just forge it hard." Uncle Tie took the big tongs.
"Oh!" Mo Xuan picked up the hammer beside him, calmed down the tension and anxiety in his heart, then stared at the bronze on the anvil, and swung the hammer after confirming the landing point.
Dingdong ~
The hammer landed accurately on the point that Mo Xuan had set, picked it up and fell, and Mo Xuan began to forge it.
When knocking, you must be steady, accurate, and even. Mo Xuan recalled some of the tips he saw in the novel, and his hands could not help but become more stable, more accurate, and more evenly beat.
Uncle Tie looked at Mo Xuan's movements and quietly moved the bronze, cooperating with Mo Xuan's forging.
Mo Xuan watched the bronze slowly deform and move towards the expected shape in his heart. This made Mo Xuan calmer, because the more hope of success there was, the less he wanted to fail, be happy and excited, and let's talk about it after success! This is Mo Xuan's style of doing things.
Ding~Ding~Ding~
With the sound of irons, a sword gradually formed.
"Okay. It's useless to continue fighting. Next is polishing and opening the edge." Uncle Tie smiled at Mo Xuan, who was sweating profusely.
"Huh~" Mo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of fatigue filling his body. This surprised Mo Xuan, and he would also feel tired in the game!?
Mo Xuan suddenly thought that there seemed to be a physical strength item in the attribute. Mo Xuan looked at the attribute column with curiosity. The physical strength value was: 36. It was less than half of it consumed. This was because the potion added 2o physical strength value.
I feel tired, so what if it becomes zero!? Mo Xuan couldn't help but think of this. Although I feel tired now, it has no effect on my actions, but it is still uncertain if it becomes zero.
It is impossible to verify now, so let’s put this problem aside!
Uncle Tie looked at Mo Xuan standing there and gasped, and said caringly: "Do you want to take a break? Grind it, you can wait and do it later, it's okay."
Mo Xuan shook his head: "No, I'm fine. Keep going!"
"Not bad, hardworking, a man." After Uncle Tie praised, he put down his big pliers and walked towards the whetstone next to him with the bronze sword. He said: "Sanding, opening the edge is a fine job, and it takes a long time."
Mo Xuan followed Uncle Tie and explained to Uncle Tie's praise: "I just don't like to do half of it."
"Men should do this. If they want to do it, they have to do it to the end. The cowards are giving up halfway." Uncle Tie glanced at Mo Xuan with approval, and even more recognized Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan did not expect that he would just explain it casually, but instead he was recognized.
When he arrived at the whetstone, Uncle Tie handed the bronze sword to Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan reached out and felt the burning pain, which made Mo Xuan subconsciously throw away the bronze sword.
"Are you okay! Are you okay? You didn't hurt! Sorry, it was all my negligence! Forgot that you are still very weak and can't bear the high temperature too high. It's all my negligence, it's all my negligence!"
Uncle Tie looked at Mo Xuan with concern. As for the bronze sword, Uncle Tie didn't even look at it, but he subconsciously caught it. Uncle Tie was holding the bronze sword without any trouble.
"It's okay." Mo Xuan didn't care much: "Don't care."
Mo Xuan didn't care, but Uncle Tie couldn't let go. Seeing this scene, Qabus, who was standing aside, thought that he was really foresighted. After all, he had known Tie Tou for a long time and knew very well what kind of person he was. Although Tie Tou was thick and thin, he often had to do things based on his feelings and was always a little careless.
Qabus said to Uncle Tie, who was still a little difficult to let go: "There will be no problem if you have already drunk the high-level flame blessing potion. But you should pay attention. Hei is different from you, a warrior who has been tempered for a long time. This time I will treat it as a lesson."
Then Qabus said to Mo Xuan: "Don't blame Tietou, either. Tietou is the first time he teaches people forging techniques. If he lacks experience, he will inevitably make mistakes."
"I didn't blame Uncle Tie!"
Mo Xuan looked at Uncle Tie: "I am more interested in polishing the edge than this. I haven't finished it yet, so why don't I continue to do it?"
Uncle Tie looked at the bronze sword in his hand, touched his head and said, "I forgot. I will lower the temperature of the sword first, let's start!"
After Uncle Tie lowered the temperature of the sword, he handed the sword to Mo Xuan, and the procedure of polishing the edge began.
When sharpening the sword, wet the sword first, otherwise it will cause annealing and will not be able to sharpen it. Then use coarse sand and stone to grind off the concave and concave corners to grind out the blade. When using fine sand and stone to grind it sharply and polish it. As for how sharp it can be ground, it depends on the technique.
This was Mo Xuan's first time sharpening his sword. In order to let Mo Xuan experience more and increase his experience, Uncle Tie said nothing, but just asked Mo Xuan to show him after he felt it was polished.
Sharpening a sword is a time-consuming life, and time passes.
"It's done." Mo Xuan looked at the sword in his hand. The sword was simple and made of bronze. The hilt was just a cylinder with no sword mouth. The sword body was symmetrical and neat, and the light was faintly reversed. Mo Xuan felt that this was his limit, and it was useless to continue polishing it.
"Ding~ You forged a bronze sword."
"Ding~ You understand skills: forging. Gain 5 knowledge and 25ooo experience."
"Ding~ You complete the achievement of "The Starting Point of Forging" and gain Strength 5."
"Ding~ Experience reaches the specified level and is increased to level 12, with health value 1o; mana value 1o; strength 1; intelligence 1; agility 2; endurance 1; defense 1; spirit 3; free attribute point 1."
A white light flashed and Mo Xuan rose to level 12.
Chapter completed!
