Quadruple split

As the saying goes, there are three hardships in life: blacksmithing, punting, and grinding tofu.

In the eyes of those insightful ancients, these three industries can be said to be the most punished businesses, and blacksmithing ranks first, just short of being taken advantage of.

After all, although there is a risk of death at any time in punting, the advantage is that you can make a lot of money and not be very tired; selling tofu, in the eyes of many people, you are living like a donkey, and you can't make much even if you work early and stay late. And blacksmithing is a living hell. You have to suffer at the forge day and night. Even if you are alive, it is like being thrown into the sixteenth level of volcanic hell.

However, the quality of life of the blacksmiths, famous craftsmen, and master craftsmen in [Innocence Realm] is much better, and those who are willing to do this profession are basically quite capable, which is completely different from the so-called 'strong body' in ancient times outside the game. Concepts, the best of which aren't even of epic or legendary caliber.

But even so, blacksmithing is definitely not an easy job. After all, although the physical fitness of the blacksmiths here has improved, in this world of swords and magic, the quality of the materials has also improved. Just imagine, what can be done in the current world view? He's called a 'good shield', so he has to casually withstand epic level damage, right? Outside of the game, it would basically have an attack power at the level of a strategic missile, but any reasonable blacksmith would think that it would be impossible for him to hammer out such a thing.

However, for those masters in the game who can get the title of 'famous craftsman', 'magic craftsman', etc., being able to use the same specifications of materials to create similar weapons and armors is basically a basic skill. There are countless blacksmithing techniques. Some rely on brute force, some rely on fighting spirit, some rely on equipment, some rely on magic, some rely on alchemy, and some rely on dancing. In short, it can be said to be all-encompassing, and those who want to be in the blacksmith guild It can be said that it is quite difficult to get a high professional title evaluation in the industry, and it is even more difficult to obtain a professional title than the same type of combat profession.

Of course, it’s not just blacksmiths. All non-combat professions in the Innocence are no easier than regular combat professions. Therefore, whether it’s a player or an NPC, anyone who excels in non-combat fields is basically a piece of cake. To give the simplest example For example, if the classmate Cholera, who first worked for the Bloodwing family and has now become a big fortune in the Harlequin Card, is willing, earning five figures a month will be easy and enjoyable. This is still a lone wolf game. If a craftsman like him can just find a big club or studio, he can really make whatever he wants and spend whatever he wants. But considering his position in [Harlequin Brand] at this moment and the shares he holds in the soda business, buddy, It seems like more can be realized if you want.

All in all, it is not easy to become the number one scholar in practice. For a person like Mo Tan who has no foundation, even this kind of forging, which has almost no skills and relies mostly on physical strength, is not as difficult as ordinary two. As high as.

He can be sure that Ax Soul is not making things difficult for him, but he is also sure that successfully 'refining' the metal in front of him is definitely not difficult for beginners!

"No rest allowed. I know your strength will be replenished very quickly here."

Ax Soul kicked Mo Tan, who had lost his center of gravity for an unknown number of times and fell to the ground. He grinned at the sweaty latter and said, "It's just a matter of striking an iron. Haven't you gradually mastered the trick?"

"It's one thing to know what to do..."

Just as Ax Soul said, Mo Tan, who had just exhausted all his strength but returned to perfect condition within a few seconds, stood up with difficulty and weighed the hammer in his right hand, which was bigger than a human head. Heavy Hammer, and then looked at the small hammer in his left hand that was supposed to be a fixed fire tong, but was ordered to be used by Ax Soul, and said with a wry smile: "Whether it can be done is another matter."

Ax Soul shrugged his shoulders and had no intention of giving any advice at all. He just said a particularly shameless mantra: "Strengthen harder~"

"good."

Mo Tan didn't say anything else, and just continued to 'forge' the thing in front of him according to Ax Soul's requirements.

Boom! Boom! Bang——! !

Accompanied by the fast-paced and deafening hammering sound, the thing on the big iron felt was constantly deformed under the heavy hammer of Motan. Although it was only a subtle change, it was actually being 'purified'.

But Mo Tan knows very well that this is just an appearance, because as soon as he stops, the things on the iron felt will be quickly restored to their previous state. Although it is not 100% restored, the reset range is more than 90%, which is about the same as Bai Qian .

Logically speaking, Ax Soul, who knows that he cannot delay for too long, will not give such a training, because according to the previous rhythm, he will have to hammer for at least a few days and nights before he can achieve any results, so - —

[The problem really lies in the method...]

Mo Tan, who once again exhausted his strength and fell to the ground, got up again after a few seconds, took a deep breath, and while thinking about it after having understood the forging process, he continued to hit the lump in front of him with a sledgehammer. thing.

Boom! Boom! Bah——

[With my current physical fitness, even if I use the reverse scale to forcibly increase my attributes, I can only get five more hammers at best, which is just enough for the final kick. In terms of battery life, it is just a drop in the bucket...]

Boom! Boom! Bah——

[Since Ax Soul didn’t stop, there must be a way to continue. After all, he has no need or reason for me to do useless work here...]

Boom! Boom! Bah——

[So the question now is, why didn’t he give me any warning even though he knew the solution? 】

Boom! Boom! Bah——

[Come here, every time the hammer comes here, my physical strength will be reduced to a dangerous point, so I can no longer withstand the feedback force of the next hammer, and my body balance will be directly destroyed. 】

Boom!

Mo Tan fell heavily to the ground again because of his serious imbalance. The sledgehammer in his right hand flew out and hit Ax Soul's feet.

"Well……"

Ax Soul picked up the sledgehammer like a feather, walked to Mo Tan with an awkward expression, and asked tentatively: "How about I show you?"

It was obvious that Ax Soul was going to teach him personally.

And Mo Tan is also confident that as long as he can get a little hint, he can understand the mystery.

but--

"Sorry, I wanted to try again."

Not wanting to waste any more time, Mo Tan, who was somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, took the sledgehammer, stood up again, walked slowly to the iron felt, and took a deep breath——

Boom! ! !

At first glance, it looked like the same hammer as before, but this time, the moment Mo Tan hit the first hammer, Ax Soul's eyes lit up.

He knew that Mo Tan was on the right track!

And Mo Tan also knew that he was on the right track, but he was not surprised. After all, he had tried so many times before, and the last remaining possibility was naturally the one closest to the truth.

So the question is, what is the truth?

The answer is very simple, the truth is - 'It's not that Ax Soul has never taught Mo Tan, but he has taught it long ago, before Mo Tan came here'.

Only in this way can we explain why Ax Soul has been silent since Mo Tan entered this field, with no guidance or suggestions.

By the way, the reason why Mo Tan didn't confirm this idea until now was not because he reacted slowly, but because Ax Soul really didn't talk much just now, and Mo Tan still wondered whether the nonsense might have any profound meaning at first, until just now Only then did I confirm the sad fact that 'crap is indeed crap'.

All in all, after reaching the conclusion, what Mo Tan had to do was very simple.

You must know that Mo Tan and Ax Soul have only communicated a few times, and the latter has only one chance to 'teach' him.

Boom! !

The big forging hammer suddenly fell down, hitting the stubborn piece of metal hard, but Mo Tan didn't hold back at all this time, and actually hit it so hard that it bounced off the iron felt and went directly into the air.

Although this lag will only last for a very short time, if the normal forging process is followed, this gap is enough to disrupt Mo Tan's rhythm. It would be okay if he had fire tongs in his left hand instead of a small forging hammer, but the latter theory There is no fixed position function...

But this time, Mo Tan didn't care about the theory. Instead, he turned around and stepped on the pedal. At the same time, the small forging hammer that was ready to go had already slammed down, and the lump was directly shot into the air. The metal was pulled back onto the iron felt, and then—

Boom! ! !

The big forging hammer that was raised high and rotated a full 360 degrees with Mo Tan's figure suddenly fell on the piece of metal. Not only did it smash into a pie shape, it was even crushed in the process. A small piece of rusty place was removed, directly and fundamentally destroying some of the 'impurities'.

Find the inertia!

Use your waist strength!

Stack up your strength!

Remember the correct angle!

Keep the feel!

Hold on!

Increase your strength!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ! !

Three minutes later, Mo Tan, who persisted in forging for more than two hundred seconds for the first time, began to produce afterimages when moving. The speed seemed to have increased by more than one level compared to the first time, and the two forging hammers in his hands were even more like Fine raindrops kept hitting the metal, with a frequency as high as three times a second!

Not only that, in the first two minutes, Mo Tan didn't even sweat. In the character panel marked with the three words [Conscious Body] at the back, the physical value did not even drop by 85%, while the previous forgings At that time, with at most five strikes, Mo Tan's physical energy value would drop below 80%, and then it would slide straight down as if the gate had opened, unable to stop at all.

But this time is different. The reason why is that this time Mo Tan does not have the mentality of "forging iron" to win the iron, but the mentality of "fighting" to win the iron!

To put it bluntly, he thought that the metal full of impurities in front of him was Wang Ba Dan, or the 'focus point' that Ax Soul found for him when Wang Ba Dan launched his defense before, and then he died as if desperate. Hammer!

Hammers and axes, big hammers and small hammers no longer matter. Through the series of failures just now, Mo Tan has found the "core" in the right direction and put it into practice in his own way.

In a nutshell, one hand is responsible for restriction and suppression, and the other hand is responsible for control and containment. The most important thing is that the two must be able to switch seamlessly. In other words, if necessary, Mo Tan even has to use the small forging hammer in his left hand to forge, and maintain and control the target's position with the large forging hammer.

This was not easy, but for Mo Tan, who had just failed forging countless times and had been personally taught the corresponding techniques by Ax Soul, it was still barely within control.

After all, it is a target that cannot move. Even if it is a little smaller, a wooden pile is still a wooden pile!

As for the issue of physical strength, when driving wooden piles, you can completely save strength by relying on inertia, circle drawing and reaction force, and even deal 110% damage with only 10% of the force!

Bang! ! !

With a deafening roar, the sledgehammer in Mo Tan's right hand crashed onto the small hammer that had just hit the target, directly setting off a scorching shock wave that would directly hit the wind and snow within a radius of five meters centered on the forge. Evaporation actually creates a feeling similar to that of a sauna.

The metal, which had shrunk at least three times compared to before, and whose color had changed from dark brown to bright silver, erupted with a flash of light, looking very ceremonial.

"Well!"

Mo Tan, who had been drained of the last bit of physical energy, swayed and almost fell to the ground. However, he finally stabilized his legs, which were rapidly filling up with strength, and let go of the two handles, one large and one small. He threw the hammer on the ground, grinned at the axe, and asked knowingly: "Am I successful?"

"Oh, I think so."

Ax Soul smacked his lips and didn't even look at the metal on the iron felt. He just strode up to Mo Tan and slapped him. The latter staggered and laughed, "What a boy, you're awesome!"

Although he was almost knocked to his knees by being slapped, Mo Tan was back to full strength at this moment. He immediately shook his head and said seriously: "The main reason is that you taught me well."

He also didn't look at the piece of metal that had been 'refined', because that was not the point at all, let alone the theme. It was just a medium for Ax Soul to let Mo Tan master certain skills.

How to use dual-wielding weapons with maximum efficiency is the real theme of the teaching just now.

That's right, the Wushuang Ax is the only weapon among the many forms of [Akatsuki] that requires the user to 'dual-wield'. Its owner, Ax Soul, did not teach Mo Tan how to play an ax clearly like Gun Soul did in this lesson, nor did he Xiang Dao Po demonstrated one and a half moves like Dao Po, and he didn't want to just skip steps and transfer skills like Ji Po.

This rough-looking dwarf man simply taught Mo Tan how to dual-wield. However, since only the Wushuang ax is a dual-wield weapon, if Mo Tan wanted to practice, he would probably have to practice with his axe.

If you look at it from this perspective, Ax Soul can be said to be the most treacherous of the characters Mo Tan has encountered so far.

Until he met the stick spirit...
