Everyone's eyes were focused on the anvil. The rough iron block that had no shape had now turned into a standard cubic iron block.
Although the surface of the cube is not absolutely flat, there are neat and uniform traces of hammer marks, which look like fish scales, neat and beautiful.
Tedlin's eyes were full of astonishment and surprise. He didn't expect that Reg could actually complete the forging of this cube in half an hour. After all, the cube has six faces and twelve sides, and is a whole piece of iron.
Knocking on any side will cause changes in other positions. Of course, repeated forging modifications can certainly be completed, but Reg only had half an hour, and he completed it all at once!
Tedlin did not need to use a ruler to measure, he could visually detect that the length of each side of the cube was the same. As a casting master, this ability was unquestionable, but this shocked Tedlin. Reg
How on earth is it done?
To complete such a standard casting in such a short period of time at one time, even Tedlin himself may not be able to do it, but Reg did it!
The casting was completed in half an hour without any pause!
Tedlin was so surprised, not to mention the blacksmiths around him. Their eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and some even gasped. They were all shocked by Reg's skills.
However, Reg didn't feel that he had accomplished such an amazing thing. He looked at the fish scale-like hammer marks on the surface of the cube, and looked at Tedlin and said apologetically: "Master, I can't make this plane completely flat, so I can only beat it."
If it's like this, is this... considered qualified?"
Everyone's expressions were a little weirder. Did this kid really not know that he had completed a task that others could not complete at the same time? None of the blacksmiths in the crowd dared to pat their chests and say that they could have Reg.
Such a level.
Tedlin suddenly let out a burst of hearty laughter: "Qualified, of course qualified! Reg, you surprised us all. Your hard work and talent surprised each of us. I believe that it won't be long before you are qualified."
You will be able to forge weapons and armor of higher quality than those outside."
Loft came over, smiled and patted Reg on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations on passing the exam. It seems that in less than a year, I will call you my junior brother."
Reg smiled at Loft's kindness: "This is not the result of your usual guidance."
Loft scratched his head and said with an honest smile: "Guide is good, but the key is your diligence and hard work. None of us can compare to you. It really makes us ashamed to say it."
Tedlin came over, stared at Reg and said: "Since your basic skills are already so solid, starting from tomorrow, you will start to learn the knowledge of casting weapons and armor from Loft, and understand the problems that may easily occur and the
How to deal with it, and when you feel it is clear, then try to do it again."
In the next half month, Reg stayed with Loft, helping him with his work, learning how to forge weapons and armor, and asking Loft for advice on questions he had in mind.
Loft is a very simple and honest man, but his casting skills are very strong and he is a very nice person. He is very enthusiastic about Reg and tells him everything he knows. He also actively teaches Reg what to pay attention to during casting and the temperature of the fire.
Mastery, as well as time control, various tempering, and beating techniques and methods.
Reg may really have a talent for forging. Reg clearly remembered what Loft said. In order to explain it to Reg, Loft carefully selected different types of weapons and armor for forging. In this way,
Reg will be able to learn more about the application of various forging methods through different types of forging.
Half a month later, Reg finally went into battle himself again, preparing to start forging weapons by himself, while Loft temporarily acted as a teacher to guide Reg.
Perhaps it was because Reg's basic skills had reached a level that even Loft and others felt inferior to. With such solid basic skills, it would not be so difficult to use various forging methods.
"If you want to cast weapons or armor, you must first know clearly what the weapon or armor you want to cast looks like. You must know every tiny detail. Although the weapons or armor have not yet been cast,
In your heart, he is already a complete finished product."
"Only when you are very clear in your heart, you will not hesitate in the forging, because you know very well how far your product is from your goal and how you should forge it."
"Although the structural drawings of weapons or armors can be expressed intuitively, everything must be integrated into your heart before you can express yourself freely. Just like a sculptor, although the sculpture has not yet come out, the finished product is already in his mind.
Here, every knife and every stroke he makes is nothing more than drawing according to the impression in his mind."
"This is a skill that a successful forger must have, and then there is the application of various forging methods. Forging methods can be trained, but this skill must be understood."
Loft's words slowly passed through Reg's heart. Reg picked up a finished long sword next to him and carefully observed, stroked and felt it. Reg would use this sword as a model to start his first sword.
Created once.
As Reg watched and touched it carefully, the impression of this long sword slowly entered his mind from his eyes.
For a long time, Reg turned the sword over and over, looked at it, and touched it countless times. The feeling of coldness extending under his hand was still clearly in his mind even if Reg closed his eyes.
There are various data that outline the appearance of this sword, and even the image from any angle.
The sword is three feet and one inch long, one inch wide, and the height of the sword spine...
When Reg waved the hammer in his hand and struck the red-hot iron, each piece of data continued to flow through Reg's mind, as if the sword became alive, giving people a sense of
Incredibly clear images.
When Reg first started, there was still some pause and hesitation in hammering. But as time passed, the number of hammer falls slowly increased, and Reg's movements slowly became more and more smooth, and there was no longer the initial state.
of stagnation.
Next to him, Noft's eyes widened. He looked at Reg, who was hammering down like rain. He looked at the piece of iron that stretched and thinned, and slowly turned into the prototype of a sword. Noft's eyes were filled with excitement.
Incredible.
Reg, is this really your first time making a sword?
Although Noft still needed to constantly point out Reg how to complete the next process, Noft found that Reg always learned very quickly.
It took less than half a day for Reg to master a new forging method. After a day or two, his proficiency surprised even Noft. His incomparable precision and force control made Noft
Ford is ashamed of himself.
"Teacher, Reg is definitely a casting genius!"
In the room, Noft excitedly reported the recent progress to his teacher Tedlin, and expressed his sincere admiration: "I don't think it will take long before his level can surpass mine. As long as he has more casting experience,
He is definitely a new generation of casting masters."
There was also surprise and surprise in Tedlin's eyes. He drank the tea on the table, wiped his mouth and sighed: "According to what you said, I think it won't be long before he can learn all the casting techniques."
And the method of forging is indeed a genius."
Noft smiled happily and said: "Congratulations, teacher, for receiving another outstanding disciple. I believe that with him, our blacksmith shop's reputation will become even better as time goes by."
Tedlin shook his head and chuckled: "It is true that Reg has talent, but sooner or later he will leave here. He does not belong here. He stays here only because I know how to forge the magic sword. He
I want to learn to forge magic swords.”
Noft was slightly startled: "Regg stays here because he wants to learn how to forge the magic sword? Then, teacher, will you teach him?"
Tedlin smiled and said: "Teach, why not teach? Although he may leave here in the future, if he can really learn to forge the magic sword and even surpass my ability, then it is not a good thing..."
Looking at Noft, Tedlin shook his head and said, "Do you know why I never taught you how to forge a magic sword?"
Noft shook his head and said, "Disciple doesn't know."
Tedlin looked at Noft, with both relief and regret in his eyes. This disciple was willing to work hard and had made great achievements in forging, but he lacked the most important skill in forging magic swords.
"Timing, calculation." Tedlin sighed: "The other steps in casting the magic sword are not complicated. Even the pleated forging method, as long as you work hard to learn and practice, you may be able to master it one day.
But the most important moment in casting the magic sword is not the forging, but the inlaying of the magic crystal."
"Only by embedding the magic crystal in the most accurate position at the right time, and quickly using the secret casting method to integrate the magic crystal and the sword, can a powerful magic sword be forged, but the timing is very tight.
It is difficult, and once the magic crystal is embedded in it, it will cool down in a short period of time. To complete the secret forging in such a short period of time requires very high precision, strength, etc. There must be no mistakes at all. Once a mistake is made, the entire
The magic sword is scrapped."
"Even if I succeeded in forging a magic sword, I had to pay a considerable price to finally succeed. It seems to be a bit accidental." Tedlin looked at Noft with a bit of kindness in his eyes.
Fatherly kindness: "You are all my disciples, and I treat you like sons. If you can also reach the level of forging magic swords, why wouldn't I teach you?"
Noft looked at Tedlin respectfully, with an unconcealed touch in his eyes: "Teacher, we all know how good you are to us. We are not jealous at all, but rather happy. According to me, Reg is
Timing, precise calculations, strength, etc. all have advantages that we cannot match. And watching him forge swords and the cube forging in the last assessment, he seemed to have calculated everything in his mind, and there was no pause when the hammer fell.
There was no hesitation and everything was done in one go. Maybe he can meet the conditions needed to forge the magic sword."
"No matter who it is, as long as it is someone from our Tedlin Blacksmith's shop who forges the magic sword, we will be very happy."
Tedlin nodded, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I also want to see if he can become a forging master who can surpass me and forge a magic sword!"
