Chapter 276 Swordsmiths, Discussing Forging Skills

【……】

[The two female waitresses were sweating profusely from exhaustion, and finally calmed down your anger...]

[After some in-depth exchanges, you also understand what it means to ask the 'master of the sword furnace' to forge swords. 】

[The 'Sword Furnace Master' is a 'swordsmith' conferred by the general. He usually only forges swords for the general and his immediate samurai. 】

[If a prominent family in Kyoto wants to ask a 'swordsmith' to forge a weapon, they often have to spend a lot of rare treasures and have to beg for it many times. Even so, they may not be able to ask a 'swordsmith' to take action. 】

[The skills of the 'Master Swordsmith' can already forge 'Magic Weapons' (legendary equipment), but the materials required for forging 'Magic Weapons' are rare in the world. If the visitor does not bring his own sword materials, the 'Master Swordsmith' will only forge them for him. 'Sharp weapon' (Epic+ level equipment). 】

[And if you want to ask a 'swordsmith' to forge a 'sharp weapon', it will cost at least one million souls. If you need to forge a 'magic weapon', it will also cost one million souls, but all materials must be brought by the visitor! 】

"...It's really expensive."

After Lin Xun bought the group attack skill 'Judgment Thunder' for the Valkyrie, he still had 700,000 left in his pocket, which was not enough to hire a 'swordsmith'.

The evaluation of chapters of ordinary apostles is extremely low, and the income is certainly not as high as that of Lin Xun. It usually takes several chapters to save enough spirituality to buy equipment or customize equipment.

In the ordinary chapter, the apostle needs to obtain an A-level interpretation evaluation to advance to the next level of difficulty. If the evaluation is too low, three sub-level evaluations can be equal to one high-level evaluation.

If the apostle clears the level with the lowest D-level evaluation every time, then 27 chapters of the current difficulty level need to be cleared to advance to the difficulty level...

However, the nightmare chapter will lower the promotion threshold to B level, and the hell chapter will lower it by another level.

But even if they have accumulated enough promotion difficulty evaluations, the apostles often will not directly enter the next difficulty level.

After all, if you increase the difficulty rashly, there is a high chance that you will get stuck, and getting stuck will be punished by the underworld game, which will not only increase the strength of the monsters in the chapter, but also reduce the explosion rate of the monsters.

It is easy to fall into an endless loop after playing multiple cards a few times. In the end, even the initial mobs cannot be defeated, and the game experience and account ban are undoubtedly.

Most ordinary apostles will stay on the current difficulty level and continue to conquer other chapters.

Even if staying on the difficulty level will reduce your income, you still need to save more spirituality and experience, and improve your equipment, skill attributes, and then enter the next difficulty level.

There are very few apostles like Lin Xun, who have achieved top-level evaluations all the way, made great progress, continuously upgraded the difficulty, and made a lot of money from each chapter.

Closer to home, even if Lin Xun had enough money in his pocket, he would not pay a high price to hire a 'swordsmith'.

[You frowned and asked loudly, "The magic weapon is light and easy to use, but how can it be so easy to forge it?" 】

[In your hometown, you are already the top 'sword craftsman', and you don't dare to say that you can forge magical weapons... You need to meet the 'royal sword craftsman' and verify that he has such strength before you can pay to cast swords. cost. 】

[The two waitresses looked at each other. If a distinguished guest hears the name of the 'Swordsman' and comes to ask for a sword to be made, even if it is the first time he comes and doesn't understand the rules, he should understand the high status of the 'Swordsman' after being comforted by them. . 】

[Even if you pay the expensive cost of forging weapons, you still have to request again and again, or even wait for several years to get the weapons forged by the 'swordsmith'...]

[The waitress will explain to you that even if an ordinary person has paid the forging fee and is lucky enough to be qualified, it is still extremely difficult to meet the ‘swordsmith’, not to mention that you haven’t paid the spiritual fee yet...]

[Having just finished speaking, you stood up with a cold snort, opened the shoji door and returned to the reception room. 】

[The two waitresses hurriedly put on their clothes and followed you back to the reception room, only to see you waving the hammer in your hand and questioning loudly in front of a group of Kyoto nobles...]

[As a 'sword craftsman' from a foreign country in the West, you have long heard that Yingluo's forging skills are superb and famous all over the world. 】

[You have traveled thousands of miles to come here just to see the superb skills of forging magic weapons...]

[When I saw him today, hey, it turns out that meeting him is not as good as being famous. The best sword craftsman in Sakuraluo, the "Royal Sword Craftsman", is hiding his head and tail like a rat, refusing to show off his skills for fear that you will reveal his true level. 】

[In this case, you are hereby issuing a challenge and inviting Sakura Luo’s ‘swordsmith’ to compete with you in their forging skills. 】

[If the 'Royal Swordsmith' is as legendary as his skills can reach the Tao, and his art can reach the gods, you can represent the entire western foreign countries, admit that you are inferior, and humbly learn the forging skills from Sakura Luo. 】

[But if the ‘swordsmith’ is afraid to come forward, Sakura Luo must admit that the forging skills of her country are not as good as those of foreign countries in the West, and stop calling herself a ‘swordsmith’ shamelessly and causing laughter. 】

[Let the general grant the entire 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' of 'sword blacksmithing' as your apprentice, and follow you to a foreign country in the West, learn the superb skills of other countries, and then come back to boast about it, so as not to look embarrassed. ! 】

[As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, and then became angry. 】

[The name of 'Sword Master' was conferred by the General. If you question the skills of 'Sword Master', you are questioning the General! 】

[Some people pointed at your nose and cursed on the spot, and some wanted to pull out their swords and teach you a profound lesson. 】

[This movement also attracted the warriors on duty outside the door. They surrounded you with powerful crossbows and were about to blast you out the door. 】

[A majestic man wearing a military attache's girdle suddenly stood up. He had a sharp sword on his waist, and he had an extraordinary aura. At first glance, it was clear that he had amazing physical strength and brave martial arts. 】

[It raised its hand to stop a group of warriors on duty, and solemnly said that this matter is related to the forging skills of the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' and the prestige of the general. 】

[If I kick you out without explanation, I am afraid that when you return to a foreign country in the west, you will publicize what happened today, causing the reputation of the 'swordsmith' and the 'general' to be damaged. 】

[As one of the generals, it cannot sit back and watch something like this happen. If the 'Knife Master' is free at this time, why not let you experience Yingluo's forging skills, so that you can spread the power of Yingluo to foreign countries and increase the number of 'big swordsmiths' General's overseas prestige. 】

[The general's status seems to be very high. The warriors on duty obeyed his orders and rushed to the sword-making workshop. It seemed that they were going to report to the 'swordsmith'. 】

【……】

[Not long after, the warrior on duty returned, claiming that the 'swordsmith' had agreed to discuss with you and invited you to the sword-making workshop to exchange skills. 】

[Under the leadership of the samurai, you leave the reception room and go to the center of the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' - the 'Sword Forging Workshop'. 】

[The person traveling with you is the 'general general' just now. The others are unable to enter the sword-making workshop to observe this 'forging competition' due to insufficient status. 】

[The sword-making workshop is like a huge furnace. As soon as you enter the door, you will be hit by hot air. 】

[What you see upon entering is a red and fiery scene, with many blazing sword-making furnaces lined up in the workshop. 】

[In front of each sword furnace, there is a sturdy 'sword blacksmith' swinging a hammer for forging. Next to the 'sword blacksmith' there are several apprentices pulling the bellows and fixing the fire tongs...]

[After only staying for a while, you feel extremely excited and ready to move. You can’t wait to go forward and use the ‘family’s heirloom fine steel forging hammer’ in your hand to forge a good sword. 】

[The samurai on duty will lead you and the ‘General’ to the depths of the workshop...]

[ Along the way, not a single 'sword forger' looked sideways at you. They were concentrating on forging the weapons, as if making weapons was the most important thing in the world. 】

[If any apprentice looks at you distractedly, he will immediately be scolded by the 'Sword Blacksmith' and asked to concentrate. Even if a large army enters the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace', there must be no distraction at all. 】

[You are in awe upon seeing this. The 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' deserves to be the Holy Land of Sakura forging. Under such stringent requirements, every forged weapon embodies the hard work of the 'Sword Forging'. No wonder the forging is collected The cost is extremely expensive. 】

[As you go deeper, you and the 'General' have reached the deepest part of the workshop...]

[In front of you is a large independent sword-making furnace. There are no apprentices beside this sword-making furnace, only a middle-aged 'sword blacksmith'. 】

[It is bare-chested, with a goatee under its chin, and holds an extremely sharp knife in its hand to observe carefully. 】

[‘Fighting Blade·High Wind Raikiri’ (epic-level weapon): It is a precious weapon that is mainly made of the finest ‘Wind Light Steel’ and ‘Thunder Steel’, plus many kinds of precious metals, and is forged repeatedly. 】

[Using this weapon, strong winds will roar when swinging the sword, greatly increasing the power of the attack. 】

[The middle-aged ‘Sword Blacksmith’ observed the sword blade for a long time, shook his head regretfully, threw the sword into the sword-making furnace, and turned on the bellows to resmelt it himself. 】

[The warrior on duty on the side stepped forward and reported in a low voice, looking at you with the eyes of 'Knife Forging'. 】

[You discovered the ‘fire-worshiping swordsmith’! 】

['The Swordsmith' seems to be very interested in you. He waves away the samurai and asks if you want to exchange forging skills. 】

[After you nodded, it seemed to be more interested, telling you that every sword produced by the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' must be tasted by it for the final time, and only qualified swords can be delivered to the hands of visitors. 】

[It leads you to the sword-making furnace, and uses the tongs to pick out the slightly red-hot 'Haifeng Raikiri'. This sword was made by the 'Sword Forging' outside. You can see what is wrong with it and why. Does it want to recycle this sword? 】

[You know this is a test for you by the 'Knife Master'. If you can't explain why, it means your forging skills are shallow and you are not worthy of communicating with them. 】

[The 'General' who is accompanying you also looks at you with interest, wanting to see if your real skills are as superb as you say. 】

[You don’t have stage fright. You took the tongs and carefully observed the knife called ‘Fengfeng Leiqi’. After a long time, you put down the weapon and said in your chest...]

[At the beginning of the forging of this weapon, the intention was to use the power of strong wind and thunder and lightning to enhance the power of the sword. Unfortunately, when the sword was completed, it only used the power of strong wind and did not incorporate the power of thunder and lightning into it. 】

[Otherwise, although this sword will not be promoted to the level of 'magic weapon', its power will be greatly increased! 】

[Your words caused the 'Knife Master' to stroke his beard and nod repeatedly, and the 'General' on the side also stopped showing contempt. 】

[Your forging skills have just stopped at the epic level. If the 'swordsmith' uses a more advanced sword to test you, I'm afraid you will make a fool of yourself on the spot and be kicked out. 】

['The Royal Swordsmith' solemnly sends you an invitation to communicate. The forging skills of Western exotic countries and Sakura Fall are very different. If you can see the flaws in 'Haifeng Raikiri', it means that your forging skills are not low, and you have exchanged ideas with it. Qualifications. 】

[You are a guest from a foreign country. You are very welcome to come and exchange skills. In order to show respect, all the materials required for this exchange and discussion will be borne by the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace'. Guests from foreign countries only need to use all their skills, and there must be no Hidden privately. 】

[It is about to start communicating and discussing with you, but suddenly it catches a glimpse of the ‘General’ on the side. 】

[The 'Knife Master' frowned and waved his hand to signal the 'General' to leave immediately and not to disturb his discussion and exchange with you. 】

[The 'general general' quickly explained that the identity of the foreign visitor was unknown, and it wanted to stay here to protect the safety of the 'swordsmith' to avoid accidents, which would make the general blame him. 】

Lin Xun secretly complained, could this person be a roundworm in his stomach?

He really wanted to kill the swordsmith and collect this awesome blacksmith's body.

It's just that the general has been acting as a lightbulb, so he can't force the attack. If he fails to seize the body, it will also attract the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' to strengthen defense.

There won't be such a good opportunity next time.

[But I saw the 'Knife Master' smile boldly, how could a person with such superb skills be a young man? Please also ask the 'General' to leave quickly and don't let him summon the warriors on duty to drive him away. 】

[The 'General' looked unwilling, but could not resist the 'Master Swordsmith' and had to retreat. Before leaving, he claimed that he would report the matter to the 'General' so that he could come and observe the exchange of the two countries' highest forging skills. 】

[The ‘General’ has left, and you and the ‘Swordsmith’ are the only ones left in the depths of the workshop. 】

Lin Xun almost gave the swordsmith a thumbs up, how considerate he was.

However, the General-in-Chief left here to invite the ‘General’, and he had to act as soon as possible to avoid changes if it was too late.

[The 'Knifemaker' summoned an apprentice to come in, and saw that the iron plate held by the apprentice contained many precious materials. 】

[You discovered ‘Moiré Snow Steel’ (material)*1]

[You discovered ‘Wind Light Steel’ (material)*1]

[You discovered ‘Bixuan Jingte’ (material)*1]

[You discovered ‘Thunder Steel’ (material)*1]

[You discovered the ‘Red Sun Secret Copper’ (material)*1]

【You found out...】

【……】

[The iron plate is full of materials, ten types in total. The 'Knifemaker' seems to be very confident. It rejects the apprentice and points to the iron plate to tell you that you can choose any five of these precious materials to make a weapon. 】

[It will use the remaining five materials you choose to complete its casting process. When the two swords are finished, you and it will stand out. 】

[Please select the materials you need...]

"And choose a hammer, now is a good time to do it!"

Now he and the 'swordsmith' are the only ones left in front of the sword-making furnace. How long will it take if we don't take action now?

[You are possessed by the body of ‘The Greedy Wolf Star Lord of Desire’! 】

[In the astonished eyes of the 'Knife Master', you squeezed the sword technique with your hand, and the 'Dragon Sword Authentic' turned into a sharp sword light, quickly penetrating the chest of the 'Knife Master'! 】

[It covered its chest in disbelief and slowly fell down...]

[You defeated the ‘Fire Worshiping Swordsmith’, and your experience value increased slightly! 】

[You look at the dead body in front of you...]

[‘Fire Worshiping Swordsmith’: The best ‘swordsmith’ in the entire Sakura Fall. He was named a ‘swordsmith’ by ​​the general and is the owner of the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’. It has forged countless magical weapons in its life, but it never expected that it would die under the sword it forged in the end. Phase: 118% (+55%)]

【Do you want to possess this body? 】

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fire-worshipping swordsmith’! 】

Lin Xun quickly opened the properties panel to check.

[Body——‘The fire-worshiping swordsmith’]

[Real name: Ishimaru Tadamichi]

[Phaseality: 118% (+55%) The compatibility exceeds the critical point, and the quality of the body is improved! 】

[Body quality: Excellent + level]

[Body level: 66 (+26↑)]

[Body equipment: none]

[Shell Skill: Legendary Forging Skill (Legendary Skill): Yingluo’s top-notch ‘Knife Forging’ is a forging skill honed by tens of thousands of swings of a hammer. This skill can be used to forge equipment of legendary quality and below. 】

"Why don't you have a hammer? If you don't have a hammer, how about making one?"

Lin Xun directly pocketed ten precious materials and started the search mode.

We must find the guy who eats the 'Knifemaker' as soon as possible. The 'Knifemaker' has such superb skills, and its forging hammer must not be ordinary.

Maybe it also has some special forging effect.
