[Douluo] Twin Souls

Jingle, jingle, jingle...

Hammer sign, a tall but somewhat rough house, with rhythmic knocking sounds constantly coming from inside, this is exactly a blacksmith's shop.

From the outside, the scale of this blacksmith's shop is much larger than that of Tang San and Tang Lan's house, and there are many guests coming in and out.

Blacksmith shop, Tang San couldn't help but think of his father's words, Tang Hao once said to him, let him and Tang Lan find a blacksmith shop to work in the future to subsidize their own lives.However, now he and Xiaolan both have work-student jobs to do, do they still have time to work here?

Living in a blacksmith's shop since he was a child, Tang San had feelings for the profession of blacksmithing, and stood outside the blacksmith's shop for a moment.And Tang Lan, whom he was leading, of course knew what he was thinking, and squeezed his brother's palm a little harder.Tang San looked back at Tang Lan, smiled at him, and took a deep look at the blacksmith shop, then continued to drag Tang Lan towards the academy.

The master's body was recovering quickly, Tang San and Tang Lan bought some food from the cafeteria with the money the master gave them, and ate with the master.The master is now able to walk and tells them both not to look after them.Let them go to class normally these days, and read more of the book the master gave them.

The two left the master's room, Tang San went back to the work-student dormitory, this time the seven dormitories were no longer empty, the work-students were basically there, talking happily.

"Ah, you two come back here." Xiao Wu leaned on her bed and greeted them.

"Xiao Wu, take us to the place we should clean. What you say is true. From today onwards, the task of cleaning will be handed over to me and Xiao Lan." Keeping promises is the foundation of life, which Tang San and Tang Lan have always done. It's very good.

Xiao Wu glanced at them, and said: "What else do you need to clean, it's cheaper for you, and you don't need to clean in the future."

Tang San was taken aback, and said: "Why?"

Xiao Wu said with a little complacency: "Do you think I, Miss Wu, did it for nothing? Xiao Chenyu has arranged for all the jobs of our work-students. We don't have to do it in the future, and we will still get paid. You have also calculated a lot of strength, this time it will be cheaper for the two of you."

Although Tang San and Tang Lan kept their promises, they were by no means pedantic people. Tang San chuckled immediately and said, "That's not bad. From now on, you will be Miss Wu of the entire Notting College."

Xiao Wu sat up, hugged her knees, looked at the two of them curiously with her pink face, and said, "How did you go to the Wuhun Hall for the appraisal?"

Tang San said: "It's done, Xiaolan and I are both soul masters now."

The eyes of the other work-study students around showed envy, of course, it was just envy.Regardless of whether it was Tang San and Tang Lan, the scenes of their battle against Ling Feng and Xiao Chenyu today were deeply imprinted in their minds, even Wang Sheng admired the two brothers.Asking himself, even if he gets a spirit ring, he may not be able to win Tang San and Tang Lan.

Xiao Wu asked curiously: "What are the benefits of being a soul master? It can't just be a false name."

Tang San chuckled, and said: "There are still some benefits, at least you can eat better in the future. Soul masters have a monthly subsidy of gold soul coins."

"A golden soul coin? So much." Xiao Wu also understands the importance of money now, even though Xiao Chenyu has said that in the future, the food expenses of work-student students will be counted on him, but it is better to have money in one's own hands than someone else's it is good.

While talking, Xiao Wu jumped off the bed and ran out excitedly.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

"I'm also going to register as a soul master. How much delicious food can I buy with a golden soul coin?"

"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"How can you not be in a hurry, have you forgotten that today is the end of the month? Go now, even next month, maybe you can get two gold soul coins."

"But, can you put on your shoes before going?"

"Uh……"

After all, Xiao Wu hurriedly went to the Spirit Hall, Tang San laughed secretly in his heart, I'm afraid that Grandpa Matthew Nuo will be shocked again, after all, Xiao Wu is an authentic beast spirit and soul master.It's much better than innate conditions, and better than myself and Xiaolan's pseudo-full soul power.

Not needing to do work as a student, Tang San immediately recalled that crisp knocking sound in his mind.Village Chief Jack once said that there will be a lot of expenses for going to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy in the future, but now he and Xiaolan are the tuition fees for the two of them.Many things in the house should be replaced, so it is good to earn more money.Moreover, this is also the request of the father.More importantly, only in the blacksmith's shop would he have the chance to arm Xiaolan and himself.After personally crafting the Hidden Arrow, Tang San discovered that when a hidden weapon is completely made by himself, the familiarity with the hidden weapon will become stronger.

"Tang San, Tang Lan, I apologize for what happened that day, you are not still angry, are you?" While Tang San was thinking, Wang Sheng came to him and Tang Lan, and said sincerely.

Looking at Wang Sheng's simple and honest smile, Tang Lan's expression was not too tense, Tang San also shook his head, and said with a smile:

"How could it be? I forgot about it long ago. Brother Wang Sheng, Xiaolan and I are going out for a while, and we may not come back until evening."

Wang Sheng nodded, and said: "You guys go. By the way, congratulations to all of you brothers who have become soul masters."

Tang San smiled and said: "It won't be long before you will break through." Tang Lan also gave Wang Sheng a rare nod before leaving the dormitory with Tang San.

Walking out of Notting College again, Tang San felt a little tired. After they came back with the master today, they hadn't had a good rest, and they fought with Xiao Chenyu and others again, even though his Xuantian Kung Fu had already reached the first level. Double, but the feeling of tiredness still appeared.And Tang Lan was obviously much better, he didn't carry the master on his back like Tang San did along the way, and the battle he played directly killed him instantly, without much effort at all.

"Brother?" Tang Lan looked at Tang San worriedly, and reached out to rub his forehead.Tang San shook his head with a smile, comforted Tang Lan, and signaled that he was fine.He and Xiaolan still have to go to the blacksmith shop today, at worst, they can start working tomorrow.What Tang San is most afraid of now is that they will not accept these two young blacksmiths.

When they came to the blacksmith's shop, Tang San directly pulled Tang Lan into it.As soon as he entered the door, there was a gust of hot air, like in any blacksmith shop. Of course, the temperature in Tang San's dilapidated blacksmith shop was much lower than here.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see an open hall. On the right side of the hall, there are all kinds of forged ironware hanging. There are not only farm tools here, but also various armors and weapons.After all, there are only a few soul masters in this world, and weapons are still needed, and the price of weapons is naturally much higher than farm tools.

Seeing these weapons, Tang San couldn't help but think of the work he had done in his previous life.At that time, the concealed weapons made by the Tang Sect could be said to be the mainstay of the entire Tang Sect's income.There are many rules in the Tang Sect. Although the vending machines include hidden weapons, they only sell non-toxic and some ordinary goods. It is impossible to sell the real secrets.Despite this, the hidden weapons produced by the Tang Sect are still in short supply in the Jianghu.

If, in this world, I also opened a factory for manufacturing hidden weapons, what kind of income would I get?

"Kids, what are you doing here? Buy something and ask your adults to come. Get out, it's dangerous here."

While Tang San was thinking, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts.When he looked up, a burly man with a bare upper body was looking at him. The muscles under his dark skin were bulging, and he looked extremely strong. He was holding a large casting hammer in his hand, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hello, Uncle. We came to ask if there is any need for apprentices here." Tang San's voice was clear and crisp. Even though the blacksmith shop was filled with the sound of hammering steel, it was still clearly heard by everyone.

Most of the blacksmiths stopped working, looking at Tang San and Tang Lan with kind smiles.Blacksmiths can be regarded as one of the most humble occupations. They are all born in poverty, relying on strength and craftsmanship to make a living. Although their appearance is rough, most of them are extremely kind.

The big man who spoke before looked Tang San and Tang Lan up and down, and said: "Little friend, don't make trouble. Let's go. It's not safe here. Besides, we don't recruit apprentices as young as you here. I'm afraid you can't even cast You can’t even pick up the hammer. Haha.”

Tang San was stunned for a moment, thinking that he really didn't want to accept children as young as himself and Xiaolan.But before he could figure out how to convince them, he was suddenly pinched by Tang Lan next to him.As soon as Tang San turned his head, he saw Tang Lan pulling his clothes.Only then did Tang San realize that he and Tang Lan were still wearing neat school uniforms.Yes, how can you be a blacksmith dressed like this.

"I'm sorry, uncle, we'll come back later." After speaking, he turned around and dragged Tang Lan out again.

The blacksmith's shop is very close to Notting College. When Tang San brought Tang Lan back again, they had already changed into their original clothes, with big patches on them and small patches on them. Even if they were going to eat Baijiafan, they would definitely not wear this outfit. Makeup is required.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them didn't look for anyone else, but they went to the big man before, "Uncle, do you think we can be apprentices like this?"

The big man was stunned for a moment when he saw the outfits of the two, "Little friend, aren't you making fun of me?"

Tang San said honestly: "Of course not. Uncle, it's like this. My brother and I are both work-study students at Notting College, and we have time every afternoon. Our father is a blacksmith in the village. We have learned casting from our father since we were young. , I want to come to your place to make a living."

Hearing Tang San's words, the big man's face suddenly softened, both of them were born in poverty, and he felt sympathy in his heart, not to mention, these two children were still studying at Notting College, the big man simply said: "Well, if you want Come on, come on then. You can do odd jobs for us, and you can always serve tea and water. However, the salary is not too high, but how about a full meal?"

"Okay, no problem." The two were overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

The blacksmiths all smiled kindly at Tang San and Tang Lan, the big man glared at everyone, and said: "What are you looking at, don't you need to work? Hurry up, I'll treat everyone to drink ale tonight."

After hearing what the big man said, all the blacksmiths suddenly became more motivated, and one by one they picked up their hammers and continued to work.

The big man raised the casting hammer in his hand, while forging the pig iron in front of him, he said to Tang San and Tang Lan:

"My name is Shi San, Shi of Shishi, you can call me Uncle San. This blacksmith shop is passed down from my family. In the future, when you come to work here, I will provide lunch and dinner every day, and I will give each of you ten copper coins." Soul coin, that is, a silver soul coin. If the benefit is good, I will give you some more. Oh, by the way, what are your names?"

"Third Uncle, my name is Tang San."

"My name is Tang Lan."

"Tang San? Tang Lan? Haha, they are all good names. Which village are you from?"

"We are from Holy Soul Village."

"You just said that you learned to be a blacksmith from your father when you were young. You two are so young. What can your father teach you?"

"Of course it's casting, third uncle, don't look at us as small, we are all strong, casting pig iron is no problem."

Tang San wasn't lying, even if Tang Lan didn't learn more about forging later on, but just forging pig iron with great strength, it wouldn't bother him at all.Tang Lan is like this, let alone Tang San.

Shi San laughed loudly, "Brothers, our new boys say they can also forge, do you believe it?"

The blacksmiths also immediately burst into laughter, Tang San and Tang Lan looked only six or seven years old, and this was after getting their first spirit ring, which made their bodies grow a bit taller.From the looks of it, who'd believe he'd be casting?

It always feels bad to be underestimated, Tang Lan frowned at the side, Tang San immediately said: "Uncle San, we can really forge, if you don't believe me, let us try."

Shi San stopped what he was doing, and leaned on the casting hammer on the ground, "Well, if you can afford my hammer, I will trust you." Then he handed the hammer handle to them.Because the hammer was in contact with the ground, he wasn't afraid that the two of them would hit it if they couldn't handle it.

Tang San and Tang Lan looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.Tang San took a step forward, stretched out his hand in Shi San's direction,

"Uncle San, are you removing impurities for this piece of pig iron? I'll help you finish it." Tang San took the handle of the casting hammer from Shi San.

Shi Tiantian was born with divine power, the forging hammer he used was obviously a size bigger than the others, about half a foot taller than Tang San's height.At this time, he became the focus of the entire blacksmith shop again, and all the blacksmiths looked at him with funny expressions on their faces.But soon they couldn't laugh anymore, because Tang San had already raised the forging hammer, and even raised it from in front of him.

Thirty percent heavier than ordinary casting hammers.As soon as the casting hammer left the ground, Tang San had a judgment.Although it was a bit heavier, even before he got the spirit ring, he could barely use it, let alone now.

Seeing Tang San slowly lift the casting hammer, Shi San's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Good strength, worthy of being the son of our blacksmith."

Tang Lan gave a rare smile, while Tang San was staring at the pig iron on the stove with burning eyes, exhaled loudly, and swung Shi San's casting hammer violently.

"Hey."

The soles of his feet pressed against the ground, his calves exerted force suddenly, and the power was uploaded. Tang San turned halfway, and the huge casting hammer swung obliquely in a full circle in the air, and hit the piece of pig iron heavily.

When there was a loud bang, the smiles of all the blacksmiths had already turned into astonishment, and then, following the rebound of the hammer, Tang San turned around quickly, swung the hammer in his hand again, and there was another loud noise, the hammer was louder than Previously, the heavier weight fell on the red-hot pig iron.

After the two hammers went down, Tang Lan who was next to him suddenly stepped forward to the side of the bellows, and helped Tang San pull up the bellows with a tacit understanding to increase the heat.And at this time Tang San's third hammer had swung again, this time, the casting hammer was more aggressive, making the sound of whining wind.

The next scene was unforgettable for the blacksmiths present.That heavy forging hammer seemed to come alive in Tang San's hands, one after another circles were drawn in the air, full of rhythm, just like the beating sound of a violent storm playing in a blacksmith's shop.

None of them noticed that Tang San's hands had become as white as jade, and with the clanging sound, the piece of pig iron was constantly beating under the casting hammer.

Shi San stared closely at Tang San who was thumping, his eyes could no longer be described as surprise.The other blacksmiths all knew the weight of Shi San's hammer, so they naturally knew the difficulty of hitting continuously.Especially like Tang San, one hammer is heavier than one hammer, it is extremely difficult.

Bang!The last knock was completed, Tang San took the casting hammer and turned it around twice in a row, dispelling the momentum on the hammer, the head of the sledgehammer went down, and landed on the ground again, shocking the hearts of the blacksmith shop and the blacksmiths at the same time for a moment.

27 hammers, a total of 27 hammers continued to strike, the shape of the piece of pig iron forged by Shi San did not change at all, but it shrunk by a circle as a whole.

What Tang San did, Shi San thought he could do it too, but it would take a whole day.You know, Shi San has officially become a blacksmith for 15 years.

Looking at Tang San who was panting slightly with sweat on his forehead, Shi San stuttered: "This, is this the Wind Hammer Method? The strongest continuous casting technique in forging?"

"Chaotic Cloaking Wind Hammer Technique? What is that?" Tang Lan stepped forward to help Tang San wipe off his sweat a little bit, and asked doubtfully at the side of Shi San's words.

Shi San's cheeks were flushed with excitement, "The so-called chaotic wind hammer method is a method of continuous knocking and casting. With the help of force, it can perfectly display the power of our blacksmiths. It is said that the most powerful blacksmith can Swing 81 hammers in a row, and directly mold a piece of pig iron into the shape you want. The most important thing is that the chaotic wind hammer method is the most powerful casting technique to get rid of metal impurities. I thought it had been lost long ago. See it in your hand."

Is it really the random cloaking wind hammer method?The decadent figure of his father appeared in front of Tang San and Tang Lan. Could it be that his father was originally an excellent blacksmith?

"Third Uncle, I don't know if this is the Chaotic Cloaking Wind Hammer Method, it was taught to us by our father."

"Even you?" Shi San asked, staring at Tang Lan again.

"Well, but I'm not as proficient as my brother, I can only maintain about twenty hammers at a time."

Shi San let out a long breath, and laughed heartily: "It seems that I have picked a treasure this time. The employment conditions just now are invalid. For the time being, you two brothers will be paid the same as everyone else, one silver soul coin per month. If If the business is good, more commission will be added."
