The situation of awakening may be encountered once or twice in Forging Ten Swords."
After all, Kira is the master craftsman of the swordsmith.
He knew much better than Su Wu about many aspects of sword casting.
Su Wu recalled how the Killing Stone had awakened in the sword-making room just now, and then recalled two rumors about the Killing Stone - one said that the Killing Stone was formed by the fusion of Li Gui's peeled skin and iron ore.
Another theory is that the killing stone is originally the dead stone.
When the killing stone was awakened previously, Su Wu did not feel a trace of strangeness flowing from the bloody knife blade, but the various situations at that time were very similar to the scene when Li Wei was awakened.
He could not determine where the killing stone came from.
Of the two rumors circulating on Dongliu Island about the killing stone, he was more inclined to the first.
Perhaps the killing stone was formed by the fusion of Li Kui's peeled skin and iron ore.
After all, the leather shell is a dead thing,
This also leads to the fact that the killing stone formed in this way has some strange characteristics, but it can never exude a strange charm.
As for the second rumor,
Fundamentally, Su Wu questioned the statement that "Li Gui will die".
"Is there any difference between a sword forged from an awakened killing stone and a sword forged from an unawakened killing stone?" Su Wu asked Master Kira again.
Craftsman Kira witnessed with his own eyes the change in Su Wu’s status.
Knowing that he is currently favored by two great craftsmen, An Gang and Hu Tetsu,
He naturally knew everything about Su Wu's questions: "The sword forged from the awakened killing stone is rumored to have some characteristics related to the cunning. If it meets a suitable owner, it may gradually become cunning."
, becomes mysterious and unpredictable.
But most of the time,
In actual application, there is actually not much difference between the swords forged by the awakened killing stone and the swords forged by the unawakened killing stone in the hands of ordinary warriors.
——If two kinds of swords are held by someone for a long time, they are likely to bring all kinds of bloody disasters to their owners!"
According to what Kira said,
The sword made of the killing stone can be described as an 'ominous blade'.
But nowadays, there are still countless warriors rushing to get this kind of weapon.
This man is undoubtedly interested in a weapon forged from a killing stone. If it is of higher quality, there is a very high probability that it can ‘cut through the enemy’!
Second,
Maybe some people are delusional and think that they can get a killing stone sword that suits them, and then exert some of its characteristics related to the evil spirit!
These two points alone are enough to make the warriors extremely popular with it.
after all,
The vast majority of samurai are desperadoes, doing a job of licking blood with their swords.
They face bloody disasters almost every day. In this way, the shortcoming of "the killing stone will bring bloody disasters to its owner" can be ignored!
As for people like Su Wu, they would not take the 'bloody disaster' seriously.
Su Wu sorted out her thoughts,
Master Anzuna, who was watching the straw mats and bamboo bundles being cut open one after another, asked Kira again: "Can you test out all the capabilities of that knife by cutting it like this?"
Does that knife have the ability to cut through serious enemies?
——After all, it is a fighting knife of close to ‘extreme’ quality.”
Kira shook his head and said: "The test beheading is for the knife maker to judge the performance of a knife and to deduce its full performance based on the test beheading. It is not to cut a knife during the test beheading."
The full performance of the knife is brought out.
——Every time the full performance of the sword is used, the life of the sword will be depleted.
As for whether it can cut through the evil spirits,
The only way is to wait for it to return to the hands of its true owner and let the owner test it himself!
In our sword-making workshop, we don’t have the means to bring Li Gui over as a material for the trial!"
"I see."
Su Wu nodded,
No more words.
At this time, An Gang also tested the knife in his hand. He was very satisfied with the performance of the knife. He put it back in the sheath and handed it to Hu Che next to him: "Brother Hu Che, could you please take this knife?"
Returned to its owner!
The quality of this knife is close to 'extreme', and it may have the ability to cut through some 'little tricks'.
You can let its owner try it for a while, and be sure to ask him to inform me of the results.
At the same time, please note that he must not try to use this knife to fight against the 'big trick', the 'evil trick', or even the serious trick at the king level!
There’s no chance of winning like that!”
Kotetsu took the knife, put it in a long wooden box, held it in his arms, and said to Anzuna in surprise: "Is this knife close to the 'extreme' level?
Brother An Gang, it seems that your skills have improved a lot!"
Hearing this, An Gang smiled but did not comment.
He looked across the crowd to Su Wu, who was standing with Ji Liang, and said loudly: "Little friend Zhuzhao, the trial beheading is over. You can start preparing to forge your first knife!"
"yes!"
Su Wu nodded immediately.
The two ink masters from before, Ji Liang and Su Wu, first walked towards An Gang's dedicated sword-making room.
Hu Che saw that An Gang was so kind to Su Wu, and curiously asked why.
He also followed An Gang to the sword-making room.
"Bring that box over here." An Gang entered the sword-making room and instructed Kira to move a half-meter-high box to the iron table.
Under the attention of everyone, he picked up a key and opened the big lock on the box.
Open the box,
A putrid smell rushed out along with the smell of sulfur.
Everyone seemed to have never heard of this smell, and their eyes were focused on the opened box.
After Su Wu frowned, he also looked at the wooden box.
I saw a layer of leather from an unknown animal covered in the wooden box.
On that layer of leather,
From large to small, there are pieces of stone with a dark background, some vein-like lines, and a slight shine.
Every stone has a strange shape,
Some stones are like a heart, and some are like pig liver.
Some stones simply look like a baby's head or the placenta.
"This time, a sword of close to the highest quality is forged and sent to the hands of the Kondo family. The Kondo family will surely be rich in reward.
They are close branches of the Fujiwara family,
The Fujiwara family controls a vein of killing stone!
In this way, they should report to us more killing stones with better quality this time!" An Gang ran his fingers over the ores that seemed softer in appearance, like human flesh and blood, and turned to look at
Xiang Su Wu said with a smile, "Little friend Zhuzhao, you have made a great contribution this time!
In addition, as Hute and I promised you before, this time, you can choose ten kilograms of killing stones from the box.
I will prepare a ‘head stone’ for you,
Three ‘heart stones’ and one ‘placenta stone’.
These stones add up to less than ten kilograms.
The missing parts were supplemented with ‘meat stones’.”
While talking,
An Gang took out a bunch of killing stones from the wooden box and lined them up on the table.
The ink maker next to him weighed the stone.
Exactly ten pounds,
Is it enough to forge a katana or tachi...??m
Su Wu looked at the killing stones of different shapes and guessed that the different shapes and names of these stones indicated their quality.
Among them, the ‘head stone’ and ‘placenta stone’ should be the most precious.
‘Heart Stone’ comes second.
‘Meat Stone’ updated.
I wonder if there is a rarer killing stone on top of the ‘head stone’ and ‘placenta stone’?
Burying the question in his heart, Su Wu thanked An Gang.
According to the process of making a knife, throw the killing stones into the fire and melt them into 'iron'.
Then smash the iron into small pieces,
Separate Yugang and Pao Dingtie.
——After these ten kilograms of killing stones are melted into a ball, almost every stone has a use value. Unlike ordinary iron ore, a piece of iron ore may only yield 70%, or even less usable iron stone.
Su Wu, with the cooperation of two ink masters and Ji Liang,
Start ‘Suyan’,
‘Made by fire’,
‘Soil-covered burning blade’.
A series of processes were carried out like flowing water. Watching Su Wu busy in front of the calcining furnace gave An Gang and Kotetsu a pleasant feeling.
Even the three craftsmen who cooperated with him were unknowingly brought into his rhythm.
As if under the invisible control of his consciousness,
He can always appear in the key working position at the right time at the critical moment.
"Heart Forging!"
Huche whispered: "He has entered the state of heart forging."
The great craftsman paused slightly.
He looked very confused and murmured: "Why did Dayong, Gangmu, and Kira enter the state of 'Heart Forging' with him at the same time? Is it a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence." An Gang's eyes lit up, "I heard that some strong-willed swordsmiths can control all their assistants invisibly, allowing them to coordinate with themselves, and strive to make every step of the sword-making process perfect.
!
Even, at some point,
Their will can affect the temperature of the flame in the furnace!
Now these three people's wills are invisibly controlled by Zhuzhao.
Zhu Zhao is a more talented swordsmith than his father!
He is a natural swordsmith!"
"When he made the sword embryo just now, we didn't even have a chance to check it - we should have taken a look at the quality of the sword embryo earlier, I really want to know..." Hu Che's eyes were surprised, not only was he looking forward to Su Wu's appearance in the three
With the continuous cooperation of the craftsmen, what kind of sword will be forged?
I even regret that I did not have the opportunity to check the quality of the knife blank before.
Su Wu also did not check the quality of the knife embryo.
The subsequent forging process started directly.
"If you continue to 'forge your heart' like this, is it possible to enter a state of telepathy?" Kotetsu then asked in a low voice.
An Gang frowned and did not answer Kotetsu's question.
The completion of the ink painting on ‘Zhuzhao’ is too low.
Such a low degree of completion of the ink painting has no way of interacting with the power of ‘ghosts and gods’.
unable to relate,
How is it possible to enter into the ‘sensation between heaven and man’?
Pity,
It would be better if the ink level of "Zhuzhao" was higher...
The steps of ‘fire creation’ were completed perfectly,
While Su Wu and the two ink masters were working together to forge the blade embryo, Ji Liang quickly walked to the corner, prepared the 'blade soil' and covered it on the forged blade.
Su Wu wore thick cloth gloves,
Holding the iron bar connected to the knife embryo in his hand, he thrust the knife embryo into the fire.
At this moment,
The fire jumped!
The fires that surged up one after another turned into raging red lotuses that bloomed!
Lotus petals are blooming layer by layer,
The woman's shrill laughter followed: "Hahahaha——"
killing stone,
Awakened again!
An Gang and Kotetsu looked at each other, and the ink drawings on their bodies burned and turned into blazing black fire!
at the same time,
They replaced the two ink craftsmen who had already used the power of the 'Ink Painting' once before. Standing next to Su Wu, the blazing black fire was thrown into the furnace and began to infect those fiery red lotus petals!
After all, two ink masters are not as good as great masters like An Gang and Kotetsu.
It can sustain the power of using the ink drawing twice or even three times a day!
