Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 146 Familiarity
"It's time!" The sword repairer on the high platform yelled, but it was the first half of the first stage of the sword casting competition. Start on time."

At this time, some fast master swordsmiths had already begun to forge the third piece of tempered steel. Most of them had already completed it, while some had only half tempered it.But the rules of the Sword Forging Competition are like this, even if you are currently tempering the best piece and may become No.1 in the first stage, you must stop when the time is up.The master swordsmith who encountered this situation could only grit his teeth and put down what he was doing.And there are still some master swordsmiths who didn't carry out another tempering because they found out that it was too late. They are also very fortunate at this time.Not to mention what would happen if a piece of iron ore was wasted, just saying that such hard work goes to waste can make many swordsmiths feel depressed, which will affect their subsequent performance.

Ye Shi had just completed the second piece of tempered steel at this time, and he had no plan to finish the fifth piece of tempered steel, so Ye Shi had a lot more time compared to other people.After finishing the second piece of tempered steel, Ye Shi asked the store system about the quality of the second piece of tempered steel, while waiting for the end of the morning game time, and waited for the remaining piece to be played in the afternoon.

"Quenching steel: iron ore plus a small amount of red gold stone, hammering quantity: 810 seven hammers, actual quenching number: 150 second refining, grade: first-grade fine steel to third-grade fine steel (handled by swordsmiths later) decision).” After announcing the end of the first half day on the high platform, the store system also gave a reply.

Ye Shi nodded slightly. Although he intentionally weakened the tempering effect and reduced the number of times of one hammer and two strikes in the 810 refinements, it was a little difficult to make it irregular and completely unable to find the deliberate trajectory.Therefore, in the 480 training, in fact, in the [-] [-] seven hammers, Ye Shi only reduced the one hammer and two strikes of [-] two hammers.The tempered ones are grade one to grade three fine steel. Although it is slightly worse than the first tempered steel, it is much stronger than other master swordsmiths.

"Let's go, Chen Ying." Ye Shi greeted Chen Ying.

At this time, Chen Ying was already dripping with sweat and her clothes were soaked, not because she was tired, but because she was roasted by this place like a big stove.It is different from Zhang Ling's situation in the refining room at the beginning. A large number of stoves gathered in the square for the sword casting competition. The high temperature even makes people outside the square too hot, let alone those who are in the square and work next to the stove. Chen Ying.Although Chen Ying's cultivation was not bad, he was different from the swordsmiths in that he was not used to the high temperature generated by the stove, so he couldn't avoid too many influences.

Chen Ying agreed, and put the remaining ore materials back into the original bag. The rules of the Sword Forging Competition are that the finished tempered steel cannot be taken away, and other items from the Sword Forging Competition cannot be taken away, but The ore materials brought by oneself are fine.Of course, inspections are required before leaving, and inspections are also required when entering the square again.

As for bringing in the tempered steel that has been tempered before, it is not that no one has thought about it, but in the eyes of a senior swordsmith, it is not difficult to check when the tempered steel was forged. Inspection, there will be no fluke situations.Therefore, the master swordsmiths became conscious. Since doing so is useless and will cause serious consequences, there is really no need to take such a risk.But the forest is big, and there will be all kinds of birds. In order to avoid such things from happening, it is necessary to check the ore materials of the swordsmiths.

"Master Ye." Wu Feidao walked to Ye Shi's side. The swordsmith masters all left the square in the same way, so it was not difficult to meet acquaintances.Behind Wu Feidao, followed by a young apprentice, about ten years old, as an apprentice, the most common thing to do is to organize other things for the swordsmith masters, such as preparing ore materials, pulling The bellows controls the furnace. These are the most basic things for a swordsmith. Only when you know how to control the temperature of the furnace can you know how the furnace is quenching the ore. Only when you have prepared the ore material can you know the matching and application of the ore material.

This young apprentice doesn't look very old, and his cultivation level is not too high, but because he often works by the stove, in such a high-temperature environment, his face is red and his ears are red and sweating, which doesn't have much influence. Compared with Chen Ying The sword cultivators in the middle of the fifth rank of kendo are not bad at all.

"This is my junior brother Mu Feng, temporarily helping me deal with issues other than sword casting." Wu Feidao introduced.

Mu Feng quickly said hello. Although Mu Feng was very calm when dealing with the stove and other situations, he was inevitably a little nervous when he met the swordsmith master.Especially when he saw that the other party was only a few years older than himself, and his talent might be comparable to that of Brother Feidao, he became even more nervous.

Ye Shi nodded, and introduced Chen Ying, "My guard, Chen Ying."

Among the swordsmiths participating this time, there are probably only two special cases, Ye Shi and Wu Feidao, who do not have their own apprentices.One was with guards, the other was with his junior, and the other swordsmiths were all with their own apprentices.

"Master Ye, let's go together, the Young City Lord must be waiting outside by now." Wu Feidao said.

You can see the situation in the square from the stands, and you can naturally see the stands in the distance from the square. At this time, as the morning time ended, everyone in the stands also left.Although it is different from when they came, the city lords of the medium-sized cities will not all come to pick up the swordsmith masters, but some people will still come.As for Wu Tianyang, Wu Feidao knew that Wu Tianyang would definitely do this.

"That's fine." Ye Shi said indifferently, the competition will continue in the afternoon, and the time at noon is just for the master swordsmith to take a rest and have lunch.That being the case, why not follow Wu Feidao, the impression of Wu Tianyang and Ye Shi is good.

"Then let's go." Wu Fei said with a smile.

Ordinary geniuses will be hostile to other geniuses, and don't even want to be together.But Wu Feidao is different. He is not an ordinary swordsmith genius. In the past, in Tianwu City, there was no swordsmith genius who could compete with him. The swordsmith masters were all middle-aged people who were much older than him, so he found Ye Shi. For Wu Feidao, it was the feeling of meeting a confidant and an opponent.Together with Ye Shi, Wu Feidao will have a sense of striving for competition, which may become the driving force for him to become a senior swordsmith.

"You go first, I have something to deal with." Ye Shi said, originally wanted to go with Wu Feidao, but at this moment, Ye Shi found a figure, although he had never seen this person, but Ye Shi felt a familiar feeling on this person, Ye Shi knew this feeling very well, but he didn't expect that this trip to Tianwu City would yield consecutive harvests, even if there was no sword casting competition, it would not be in vain okay.
