Chapter 259 The Power of the Earth
The tall dwarf was stunned. Indeed, the more complete the earth pattern is, the more likely a dwarf is to be a powerful blacksmith. Because only the complete earth pattern can make the weapon more powerful.
The armored dwarf told the tall dwarf, "Noli, go ahead and do your work first. I will take this master to the Ironforge furnace for a forging assessment!"
Noli responded respectfully to the armored dwarf: "Okay, President Bronzebeard."
Immediately, Bronzebeard took Xu Feng and left the forging hall, came to the huge doorway with a height of more than 100 meters in the center of Ironforge, and said hello to the dwarf guard next to him.
The dwarf activated some kind of mechanism and the door slowly opened.
As soon as the door was opened, a rush of hot air hit his face, and at the same time, an elderly dwarf with gray hair walked out of the room on the right side of the door.
"Bronzebeard, long time no see. What's going on? Bring your juniors here to see them?" He looked at Bronzebeard entering from the door, and also greeted him erotically.
"Sidi, don't talk nonsense. I'll bring this forging master to conduct the test of the God of Forging." Bronzebeard said awkwardly.
"Ah?" The old dwarf was stunned and looked at Xu Feng carefully. Xu Feng's cosmic-level strength far exceeded Sidi's expectations. Those who can test the existence of the God of Forging are generally master-level blacksmiths (immortal level). Xu Feng is too young. "Then please invite this little brother...Master to come to my place to register first..."
After Xu Feng filled in the information, Bronzebeard respectfully led Xu Feng into the space behind the door. It was a circular platform dozens of kilometers wide with a hollow center. The central hollow of the platform was a dark red A long bridge more than thirty kilometers long and four kilometers wide was built in the center of the magma lake.
More than 10,000 tall furnaces with dwarven characteristics stand on the bridge, continuously converting the energy in the lava into the power of earthly fire.
Xu Feng discovered that less than half of the more than 10,000 furnaces, that is, more than 5,000 furnaces, were being used by dwarves.
Only master blacksmiths are qualified to use the furnaces in Ironforge. Just looking at the number of dwarves present, that means the dwarves have accumulated at least five thousand master blacksmiths over a long period of time!
Bronzebeard took Xu Feng to one of the furnaces, took out a recording device that looked like an eye, and said respectfully to Xu Feng, "Master Furnace, according to the rules, you only need to forge a fifth-level force weapon, that is, Can pass the assessment”
"What's different from the master-level assessment is that you need to prepare the materials for the God of Forging's assessment yourself! But at the same time, you can also use the power of earth fire to forge weapons. The entire assessment process needs to be recorded through the eyes of the blacksmith."
"If there are no problems, the assessment can start immediately!"
"Of course, you can start now."
Xu Feng walked in front of the forging platform. This time he planned to forge his best force weapon among earth weapons, the Earth Blade!
With a wave of his hand, he took out dozens of precious ores such as lapis lazuli ore, cold iron ore, cloud iron, refined copper, etc.
Close your eyes and recall every step and detail of forging the Earth Blade.
The Earth Blade uses one of the most perfect ore ratios developed by countless dwarf ancestors. It is a weapon that extremely tests the forging technology. Although it only uses D-level ore, if the forging technology of the forger reaches At an extremely high level, level 5 force weapons can also be forged.
Not only does it consume twice as many types of ores as ordinary fourth-level force weapons, but it is also very difficult to remove impurities from each ore. The difficulty of removing impurities from each ore is comparable to the black carbon ore used by Xu Feng during the master-level assessment. .
The forging method of the Earth Blade is different from that of other weapons. Since there are many types of ores used, a special forging technique, the folding forging method, is used.
Folding forging method, as the name suggests, after fusing various ores into embryos, the blacksmith folds the embryos multiple times and forges them. Each time the embryo is folded, the materials on the embryo will be fused more closely, and it can also exert various effects. The characteristics of the ore make the blade tougher and sharper while increasing the energy of the weapon to the user.
After the folding forging method, the weapons created will have multiple layers of irregular patterns on the surface.
The more times it is folded, the more layers of texture appear on the weapon, which means the higher the degree of fusion of materials, the higher the quality of the weapon!
As long as the number of layers of patterns exceeds 100, the forged Earth Blade can reach the level of a fifth-level force weapon. !
Because the material extraction of the Earth Blade was very complicated, the three clones in Jiang Lan's world and Xu Feng's original body all stopped their training and focused their attention on Tai Sui's clone.
Xu Feng soon analyzed the fusion temperature and fusion time of each ore.
Then methodically throw dozens of ores into the furnace and refine them!
From time to time, he took out pieces of ore and pounded them to remove or melt the impurities in the ore, which seemed extremely sophisticated.
Bronzebeard and Sidi looked at Xu Feng with their eyes wide open.
A layman can watch the excitement, and an expert can watch the door. With just these few actions of Xu Feng, they can conclude that this forging master has extremely solid basic skills and at the same time has a good affinity for the law of fire and metal.
With each strike, the ore shrinks a little more, and at the same time, there are no cracks on the surface of the ore, which shows that Xu Feng's every blow can accurately knock out impurities from the outside of the ore without destroying the structure of the ore.
Being able to do this requires more than just rich experience.
It is also necessary for the affinity of the law of fire and the law of gold to reach an extremely high level in order to accurately feel the heating of the ore in the furnace, take out the ore when it reaches its best state, and find out the location of the impurities when beating.
Sidi looked at Xu Feng's actions and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He originally studied with Bronzebeard and was refining ore. And he had practiced hard day and night for hundreds of billions of years, but he still couldn't reach Xu Feng's current level. But this Xu Feng is only at the cosmic level, and his age cannot be more than 10 million years old!
After half a day, Xu Feng finally refined all the ores to an extremely perfect state.
Xu Feng felt how important the power of earth fire was for forging ores. The smelting of various ores with the power of earth fire saved half the time.
"It's a pity that the power of earth fire only exists in Ironforge. Is there any flame in the universe that is comparable to the power of earth fire?"
Xu Feng thought of the Star Fire!
"The star fire in my body is also one of Master Qin Yu's requirements for refining weapons. Maybe it will have unexpected effects when used for forging!"
Xu Feng decided to try forging weapons with star fire again after this assessment.
Now let’s focus on completing the forging assessment!
After giving up the idea of experimenting with forging weapons with star fire, Xu Feng returned his attention to the newly-minted ore.
These perfect ores are just the first step in forging the fifth-level force weapon, the Earth Blade. After Xu Feng fused various metals into an embryo, he did not shape it immediately. Instead, he forged various ores into thin metal sheets and then stacked them together in a specific way.
This is also the special and difficult part of the folding forging method. Before forging and shaping, various materials need to be stacked and folded continuously, and the various metals must be fused to a certain extent before forging into a weapon embryo can begin.
In order to prevent the ore from cooling, the folding time becomes extremely limited, so the ore must be refined quickly and the more folding time there is before cooling, the more layers can be folded.
After the folding is completed, various materials are forged to form a cube-shaped metal embryo, and then comes the most critical folding process.
Dangdangdang~!
Xu Feng beat the cube-shaped metal embryo into a flat shape, then folded it once, and then beat it flat again!
The process seems simple, but every time you strike metal, it requires extremely amazing concentration and affinity with the law of gold.
Because the materials in the metal embryo have not yet completely condensed together at this time, excessive force will cause the metal embryo to crack easily, and too little force will prolong the folding time, making it impossible to stack enough layers before cooling!
To do this, in addition to sophisticated experience, you also need to have an extremely good understanding of metals, which requires an extremely strong affinity for the laws of the metal system.
The higher the affinity of the Golden Law, the clearer the situation inside the metal embryo will be. Which parts of the metal are incompletely fused, which parts have higher toughness, and how much strength is needed to beat, with Yin force or Yang force. , the better you can grasp it.
After Bronzebeard watched Xu Feng's skillful tapping techniques intoxicated, he sincerely praised: "It's so perfect. Although the tapping speed is very fast, there is no crack in the metal embryo, which proves that every tapping by the stove master has not occurred. A mistake! ”
Sidi also has great attainments in the control of flames, but he also admired Xu Feng's forging techniques: "Not only that, the ability to control flames in that hand is also extremely powerful. With the blessing of the power of fire, the vitality of the metal embryo is so great Still at the top!”
"Judging from the current stacking situation, as long as there are no mistakes in the next two steps, there should be no problem in forging a fifth-level force weapon!"
Dangdangdang~!
Before long, the metal embryos had been stacked nine times, and the texture reached 512 layers.
Xu Feng felt that the materials in the metal embryo were almost fused, so he put the embryo into the iron furnace to heat it and began to shape it!
"The power of this earth fire is indeed magical. Not only can it maintain the activity of the embryo, it can even slightly increase the activity of the embryo during the heating process. It is really helpful for forging weapons!"
Xu Feng is also looking forward to the Star Fire!
Through the power of fire, Xu Feng sensed that the embryo in the furnace had been heated to a sufficient temperature, and Xu Feng decisively took out the embryo and began to forge it!
Hammer after hammer, Xu Feng's forging hammer hit the weapon embryo, and a sweet sound came out, like beautiful music.
"It's great, the rhythm is so well controlled, and even the sound of forging is so pleasant."
Half an hour later, Xu Feng completed the embryo forging, and then put the knife-shaped weapon embryo into the quenching liquid that had been prepared.
"Zi~!"
Although the quenching step can only be felt by the forger himself, and outsiders cannot see the effect, the two Bronzebeard Disi still stared at the weapon, paying attention to whether the weapon could be quenched successfully!
Under the precise control of Xu Feng's water power, the Earth Blade improved every part of the Earth Blade to a perfect level. After feeling that the force weapon had reached the most perfect state, Xu Feng decisively drew out this weapon. Force weapon, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The forging went well this time. After quenching, it has reached the peak of the fifth-level force weapon!"
Then comes the most important step, spiritual enlightenment!
Xu Feng used the earth patterns on his body, and then used the secret method unique to dwarves to enchant his earth patterns onto the earth blade!
Just like tens of thousands of enchantments in the past, the pattern of the earth can be easily imprinted on the blade after being enchanted once!
"Suck" Bronzebeard and Sidi took a breath of cold air at the same time.
“The enchantment was successful once!”
"Impossible, the more complex the earth pattern is, the higher the difficulty of enchantment! With 10 earth core cores, even the most outstanding person may not be able to succeed in one go!"
< br>
The most outstanding person in Bronzebeard's mouth refers to his ancestor, the most outstanding forging master of the dwarf clan, Bronze Furnace, a legendary being who forged heavy treasures!
Xu Feng looked at the Earth Blade with satisfaction. With the blessing of the power of earth fire, this can be said to be Xu Feng's most outstanding work so far.
He handed the Earth Blade to the examiner Bronzebeard and said: "Mr. Bronzebeard, this is my forged weapon. Please identify whether I have passed the examination."
After seeing Xu Feng's forging process, even without enlightenment, he could deduce that the Earth Blade had probably reached the peak of the fifth-level force weapon.
But Bronzebeard checked it carefully and found no problems. He also sighed: "The furnace master's forging technology is so superb that it can be said to be perfect."
Bronzebeard used the unique identification technology of the dwarves to perform various knocks and slaps on the axe.
No surprise, the hardness, sharpness, and toughness have reached level 5 force weapons.
Bronzebeard brought up the secret method of the dwarves and checked the enchantment effect of the Earth Blade!
I couldn't help but be surprised!
Bronzebeard looked at Sidi next to him in surprise and said, "It's actually the power of the earth!"
Sidi, who was on the side, asked Bronzebeard with his eyes as big as bull's eyes: "What do you mean, it's actually the power of the earth?"
"Bronzebeard, you can't be kidding. If the enchantment effect is really the power of the earth, then this Earth Blade has reached the level of an artifact!"
"Oh my god, it's impossible... The last time I saw an artifact forged was three million years ago, and the material used was just a pile of D-grade metal..."
Bronzebeard gave a bitter smile and said seriously: "If you don't believe me, check it yourself."
Bronzebeard reluctantly handed the fifth-level force weapon to his friend Sidi.
Sidi naturally knew what Bongbeard was like, and knew that what Bronzebeard said was reasonable, and he believed what Bronzebeard said.
But forging an artifact is really scary. The artifact is a weapon that only the top blacksmith god (the Immortal Lord) is qualified to use.
