PS: I would like to express my sincere thanks to the book friend [Go with the Wind to See the Clouds] for helping to catch the bugs. There was a mistake in the name of a person in the previous article. I typed quickly and my hand slipped and I made the mistake. I didn’t find it out in time afterwards. I was reminded by [Go with the Wind to Go to the Clouds].
Corrected, thank you~ Happy reading!

Ding~dang…dingdong~dang…
The old blacksmiths all have their own unique rhythm when they start forging, or the habit of breathing hard, or to meet some special forging requirements, or a subconscious instinctive reaction with full concentration~
In short, if you just listen to the old blacksmith forging iron, you will actually find it quite interesting once you get used to the sound.
Of course, this only refers to listening to the sound of a person striking iron.
If it's a blacksmith's shop, you can't expect to hear any rhythmic sounds...
Not to mention that the hands of those rookie apprentices are very wet, but they really work hard... and they only work hard.
Just the sound of multiple people striking iron at the same time can make people's heads explode, and they want to knock over the furnace and anvil of the other party~
Therefore, those blacksmith shops that are not under the control of the powerful and have not reached the level of masters are usually located in relatively quiet and backward areas of the town due to noise problems, or they are simply independent courtyards in the suburbs, away from the crowd.
Imo's "Spark and Seed" blacksmith shop is located in a remote corner of the small town of Weeks. However, today the blacksmith shop is no longer as noisy as it used to be. Instead, there are waves of light and agile metal collisions.
There is flow in and out of the shop.
The reason why such a change happened is naturally because of the arrival of Liu Yifei~
Imo was actually very curious about this "special blacksmith's assistant".
As the training period ended, the reputation of "Devil Squad Leader" went viral in the town of Wicks!
How about brutally training fellow students during the training period, how about one person overpowering Tut's entire third squad, how about being so powerful that even regular soldiers can't compare~
The rumors are so messy that people can't tell the truth from the lies. The whole town is about to get excited! Farmers and idlers have mentioned this influential figure at least once or twice recently, as if everyone is curious about such a powerful person.
Where did this guy come from?
Although Imo was also surprised by Geralt's strength, after all, the news he heard from his son was more reliable than the rumors spread outside... But this reliable source seemed to further confirm the authenticity of the rumors outside.
.
But what really made Imoo fall in love with Geralt was the identification and repair skills that Geralt showed in his blacksmith shop more than three months ago.
Although Imogen didn't have the nerve to ask for details, in fact, he was always curious in his heart. If all the young people hadn't been taken out of the town later because of the training, Imogen would have wanted to urge Geralt to work in his shop every day.
.
That kind of precise judgment, calm analysis and unique craftsmanship convinced Immo that this Geralt must have studied painstakingly with some master-level blacksmith, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have such craftsmanship at such a young age!
I just don’t know how this young man who seems to have great abilities and mysterious origins came to their town...
And in the month after the training camp ended, Imo was simply looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for Geralt, the apprentice who was almost kicked out of his job, to come to work... But this brat didn't know where he had gone.
There has been no news for a month!
It wasn't until today that this old man finally showed up~
Immo looked calm on the surface, but in fact, after Geralt officially started working in the furnace, he wandered to the side and pretended to be busy with something. In fact, he was observing Geralt from the side and wanted to confirm whether his previous judgment was correct.
wrong……
And after seeing this, I can never take my eyes away~
In fact, not only Imo, but also the other two apprentices who were busy nearby were gradually attracted by the noise made by Geralt, and then they stood there in a daze and stared at it dumbly.
There's nothing unusual about Geralt's movements when he's forging iron. To be honest, he's fast... surprisingly fast!
Compared to the other two apprentices, this boy didn't seem to hesitate at all when forging, as if he had forged the items under his hands countless times and could feel out the smallest lines and changes with his eyes closed.
If this "quickness" wasn't amazing enough, the nine identical standard one-handed swords he forged in one morning can only be described as terrifying... They really seemed to be carved from the same mold!
Fast, precise and without any mistakes, nine high-quality finished products were made in half a day...
The two apprentices subconsciously looked at Master Yimo, who was also stunned. They couldn't help but wonder whether their master had such ability.
Imogen naturally has such ability, but he cannot achieve Geralt's speed. It would take at least two days for Imogen to make nine one-handed swords without failure!
Looking at the forging hammer flying up and down in Geralt's hand, and the sparks that burst out when the metal hit each other, Imo knew that the seemingly light hammer blow must have amazing power every time! This power
He could use his own strength...but he didn't dare to use it as effortlessly as the other party!
After all, if you smash it with a hammer, you may have to ruin your hard work. Even if the metal can be re-melted, it does not mean that it is costless.
Just looking at Geralt's forging proficiency, Imo would almost think that he is an old blacksmith who has successfully forged hundreds of finished products! But look at his age...how is this possible?
Even if a child learns the art of blacksmithing from the womb, how long will it take for him to be able to wield a forging hammer?
Geralt's actions made Imoo feel more and more unable to see through this young man...
Then Geralt's move was even more astonishing. He handed all nine standard one-handed swords that were successfully forged to the blacksmith shop. He didn't ask for any labor fees as mentioned before, but he offered to exchange them for some rare forgings in stock in the shop.
Material.
Imo was keenly aware of what Geralt wanted to do, so without saying a word, he took out all the good things in the store for Geralt to choose from.
After all, a blacksmith who only forges low-end items in large quantities is not a successful blacksmith. If Geralt can make something more powerful in the shop...
A master blacksmith under the age of twenty?
Imogen's scalp felt numb just thinking about this, and there was a subconscious twitching reaction at the end of her fingers...
It's a pity that Wicks is just a very ordinary town after all, with no rare mineral deposits around it, and Imo himself is not a wealthy blacksmith, so his collection is very limited. In the end, Liu Yifei only picked up two or three pieces of materials and collected them.
, and asked Yimo for a lot of iron ore, and then hoped that Yimo could help him pay for a meal~
Just one meal?
Imogen was stunned subconsciously after hearing the request. How much can he eat in one meal? Compared with the value of the swords Geralt made for him in the past half day, that is nothing!
It happened that his son was still familiar with the "little boss" Sanle, and it didn't cost much to eat in their pub. He agreed to this trivial matter without even frowning...
