Chapter 399 Marnes' Shock
If you want to cast high-quality swords and swords, the process of quenching is indispensable. Quenching is to increase the hardness of the material, and tempering is to reduce the brittleness of the material. Of course, in order to improve the performance of some materials, positive Fire and anneal.

There are many ways of quenching, the common ones are water cooling quenching, oil cooling quenching, and air cooling quenching, among which oil cooling quenching or water cooling quenching is an indispensable process when casting weapons in ancient times.

The water-cooled and quenched sword has higher hardness, but the toughness has dropped significantly. As long as it is bent to a certain extent, or the force of the shock is too large, it may break into two pieces.

Oil-cooled and quenched swords are harder than water-cooled and quenched swords, but their toughness is higher than water-cooled and quenched swords. Most hand-forged swords are quenched by oil cooling.

The casting technology in the vast continent is relatively backward. He didn't want to be too amazing. Wu Liang, who was temporarily incarnated as a mortal, chose to forge a human-level high-grade long sword with ancient forging skills.

The red-burning long sword sank into the solid animal oil, and there were bursts of sizzling sounds, wisps of white smoke dispersed with the wind, and a smell of oily smoke spread in the air.

Picking up the hilt of the long sword with his left hand, Wu Liang flicked his fingers with his right hand, followed by a crisp sound, turned his wrist to face down the spine of the sword, and slammed it hard against the forging platform, only to hear a clang.

The long sword bent and rebounded, and quickly returned to straightness. With a twist of the wrist, the blade faced down, and it slashed towards an iron rod used for testing weapons. An iron rod with a diameter of about one centimeter broke immediately.

"Master Wu, the quality of this long sword is at least human-level!" Cole exclaimed.

"Yeah." Wu Liang nodded expressionlessly, and thought to himself, "The quality of the oil is good. Originally, I only wanted to refine a handful of human-level high-grade oil, but ended up producing a handful of human-level top-grade oil."

"Master Wu, the boss is still outside, should we go out first?" Cole asked.

"Okay." Wu Liang replied calmly.

"Master Wu, let me get it for you." Cole said with a smile.

"Okay." Wu Liang said with words like gold, and after finishing speaking, he handed over the long sword in his hand.

The two walked out of the forging room and came to the outside hall. At this time, night had already fallen, and Marnes, the owner of Fengrui Blacksmith Shop, was sitting beside an oil lamp, drinking wine in one gulp after another.

"Boss, look, this is the long sword forged by Master Wu." Cole walked over quickly, holding the long sword in both hands and handing it over.

"Master Wu, please sit down, I'll try the long sword." Marnes said enthusiastically, holding the long sword in both hands, looking over and over again, nodding with satisfaction from time to time, and whispering praises from time to time.

A flat sword body, a smooth hilt, and an extremely sharp blade are nothing. As long as you have the heart and time to get it, at least eight out of ten foundries can do it.

He is the owner of the Fengrui blacksmith shop and a second-tier foundry. With his ability, he is capable of casting human-level middle-grade fighting spirit equipment. His eyesight is naturally extraordinary. After seeing the appearance of the long sword, he took down a human-level Low-grade long sword.

He held a long sword made by Wu Liang in his right hand, and a long sword made by himself in his left hand. With a strong wave of both hands, the long sword taken from the shelf was broken by the long sword made by himself.

Seeing that the long sword forged by Master Wu was not damaged at all, Ma Ensi was shocked, and took down a human-level middle-grade long sword, and the two swords clashed, and the human-level middle-grade long sword broke in two.

Since there was no human-level high-grade long sword, Marnes was unable to continue the test, and cut off two long swords in succession without any damage to the blades. This already proved that the long sword in his hand was almost comparable to the low-grade earth-level long sword.

"The toughness and strength of this long sword have almost reached the low-grade earth-level. It is only the material for forging human-level weapons, but it can produce the performance of earth-level weapons. If it is not for the weaker fighting spirit amplitude, this long sword is low-grade earth-level. gone."

Surprised and amazed, Marnes said with a smile on his face: "Master Wu, you are welcome to join the Fengrui Blacksmith Shop. What are your requirements for wages?"

Human-level low-grade (fighting qi) equipment has half the fighting energy amplitude, human-level middle-grade equipment has the fighting energy amplitude of [-]%, human-level top-grade equipment has the fighting energy amplitude of [-]%, and human-level top-grade equipment has the fighting energy amplitude of [-]%.

Earth-level low-grade equipment has a [-]% battle energy amplitude, prefecture-level middle-grade equipment has a battle energy amplitude of [-]%, prefecture-level top-grade equipment has a battle energy amplitude of [-]%, and prefecture-level top-grade equipment has double the battle energy amplitude.

Heaven-level low-grade equipment doubles the amplitude of fighting energy, heaven-level middle-grade equipment triples the amplitude of fighting energy, heaven-level top-grade equipment quadruples the amplitude of fighting energy, and heavenly-grade top-grade equipment increases the amplitude of fighting energy up to five times.

"It's up to you to decide." Wu Liang said calmly.

"A first-tier minter, [-] gold coins per month, a second-tier minter, [-] gold coins per month, logically speaking, Master Wu is a third-tier minter, with food and housing included, [-] gold coins per month, okay? ?” Marnes asked.

"Okay." Wu Liang replied with a smile.

"Master Wu, do you have any objections to casting a human-level high-grade long sword every day?" Marnes asked again.

"Otherwise, I will forge thirty human-level high-grade long swords for Fengrui blacksmith every month," Wu Liang said.

One human-level high-grade long sword per day, 30 days per month, there are still only thirty human-level high-grade long swords in a month. It seems that the number of casts is the same, but in fact there are quite a lot of differences between the two.

If you forge a few long swords a day, you can get thirty in just a few days, and the remaining 24 days are free time. If you only forge one a day, you have to work every day.

"That's fine." Marnes pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Cole, go buy some cooked vegetables and some wine. I want to have a few drinks with Master Wu." Marnes boldly took out ten gold coins and said in a high-spirited manner.

"Yes, boss." Cole nodded and walked outside quickly.

One amethyst coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to ten copper coins.

"Master Wu, there is still a vacant room on the second floor of the blacksmith shop. If you are not satisfied, I will rent another room for you outside." Marnes said expectantly.Such a powerful foundry master, he didn't want the other party to leave.

"I'll live upstairs from the blacksmith's shop." Wu Liang said casually. There's no need to pick and choose a place to live temporarily. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will leave the blacksmith's shop for some reason.

A few minutes later, Cole came back with food and drink, and the three were talking and laughing while drinking and eating food
Hearing the sound of tinkling iron, Wu Liang stood up, washed his face with cold water, went into the warehouse, took some materials, then went into the forging room, lit a fire and started forging by himself.

He wanted to complete the task of thirty long swords every month as soon as possible.
