Chapter 139 Who is this evildoer?

“Hoohoo!”

As the bellows were pulled, flames rolled in the huge furnace and the heat was overwhelming.

Several big men, shirtless, were swinging sledgehammers on the chopping board, causing sparks to fly.

This is a blacksmith shop in Storm City. It is not too big, but it is quite famous. The owner of the blacksmith shop, Hammer Dam, is the best blacksmith in Storm City. Even some of the weapons and equipment needed by the Storm City army are provided by here.

Therefore, the two things that are most in short supply here are iron ingots and blacksmith apprentices.

After all, in this difficult and dangerous world, being able to become a blacksmith is something that all the lower-class people envy.

For example, today there is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old, very reserved and curious poor boy who was sent here by his family who had high hopes for him. After paying a certain amount of copper coins, he officially became an apprentice here. In the next ten years, everything he has, including his life, will belong here.

"You are a very strong young man. You will be responsible for filling the furnace with coal in the morning and operating the bellows in the afternoon. I will teach you how to swing a hammer in a few days."

Hammer Dame was very satisfied. Look at the young man's muscles. He was not like the other newly delivered bean sprouts, which still needed to be cultivated slowly.

"Okay boss."

The boy was very polite, and smiled innocently, revealing a row of yellowish and black teeth. As a person from the lower class, a row of small snow-white teeth would arouse suspicion.

The new blacksmith apprentice was naturally flamboyant.

Over the past five days, he first saved up 50 more rations for himself, and then conducted a careful reconnaissance as a beggar, farmer, peddler, and mercenary.

Not only did he scout out Broken-Leg Robin and his men, he also took the opportunity to learn in detail about Storm City's people's livelihood and customs, its past history, its current power structure, and so on.

Finally, he rescued a family of free men, and hired them to pretend to be his parents for 20 copper coins and send him to the blacksmith shop of Hammerdam.

There are two reasons why I came here.

One is that after several days of lurking and preparing, Broken-Leg Robin's gang is now staying here.

And it must be mentioned that the guy was simply too cautious.

After he came back, he sold his property in the wealthy area in the north of the city, and then bought a large residential area in the south of the city near the slums and commercial areas. There were a large number of poor people and beggars, thugs, underground gangs, various mercenaries, caravans, and taverns here, which made it easy to not only attract believers but also to gather information.

But as far as Zhang Yang could see, after Broken-Leg Robin came back, he had no plans to expand the number of believers, nor did he establish a church through the throne to absorb the prayers of former believers.

This is because this seemingly empty and safe form of prayer communication can easily be intercepted and deciphered by ghosts. If discovered, all will be lost.

Therefore, the safest method is one-on-one, face-to-face, point-to-point training.

Broken-leg Robin did a very good job on these key points, especially since he was a noble of Storm City and loved so many gods. As long as he was careful, he would not have to worry about the source of believers.

Even Zhang Yang suspected that Robin with a Broken Leg was trying to adopt a militarized and secretive belief in gods, and would never give those ghosts who hunted gods any chance.

The second reason is that Zhang Yang needs to get the second red bead. For this, there is no place more suitable than the blacksmith shop. In addition, he also needs to make some special sniper weapons for himself.

For the next three days, Zhang Yang worked conscientiously until the afternoon of the fourth day, when he found a suitable opportunity.

Hammer Dame was out because he had just made a batch of weapons and needed to deliver them to the City Lord's Mansion.

Since they had just completed a big order, the other blacksmiths in the shop also needed to relax, so they either went home early or went to the tavern for a big drink.

The only one left is a senior blacksmith apprentice named Carl. He has worked for Hammer Dame for eight years and has mastered various forging skills, so this afternoon's situation is also his opportunity.

"Jack, fill the furnace with coal and make sure it's at the right temperature. If you do a good job, I might be able to teach you a few tricks of the blacksmithing trade."

Carl, the senior blacksmith apprentice, shouted, and then excitedly led several other blacksmith apprentices to collect the remaining scraps in the shop to improve their own forging proficiency.

Of course Zhang Yang would not refuse such a rare opportunity.

Because in the past, whether it was burning coal or pulling the bellows, it was all done by several apprentices. There were many people and many eyes, and Hammer Dame and the other blacksmiths were all experienced. They could tell what was going on at the slightest change in the flame in the furnace and could not hide it at all.

But now with the inexperienced Carl in charge, things are completely different.

Zhang Yang started to jog, filling the furnace with the largest amount of coal as quickly as possible. In fact, with the scraps that Carl and the others wanted to melt, they didn't need so much coal, but they were immersed in the joy of being able to forge the products themselves, so how could they notice it?

Then Zhang Yang started to pull the bellows and ate a portion of dry food at the same time, building a second closed circle to quietly absorb a large amount of air from the surroundings, allowing the coal in the furnace to burn fully and quickly.

In just a dozen seconds, the temperature rose. Zhang Yang immediately took action to control it, otherwise the furnace would have collapsed if he waited a few more seconds.

After glancing at Carl and the others who knew nothing, Zhang Yang threw the second bead in.

At the same time, he immediately replenished three portions of dry food and controlled it with extreme caution. The reason for this was that this bead was dropped by the paper man named Xixi, and it was responsible for calling for help and sounding the alarm.

So there might be something fishy hidden in its storage orb.

Even if it means consuming a few more dry food, it's worth it.

"I need to build at least a triple curve force field, and the core temperature must be guaranteed to be above 3000 degrees to be safe."

Zhang Yang was thinking and making arrangements quickly. Now he was using magic power instead of the soul force field, so it was easier to construct the magic power structure, the effect was better, and he could control it more precisely.

The first layer of curved force field was quickly constructed, forming an independent fireball space in the furnace.

Zhang Yang controlled it steadily and constructed a second curved force field in the furnace. This curved force field was actually independent, because the two curved force fields were fundamentally incompatible. Either they collapsed at the same time, or one would swallow up the other.

He doesn't yet have the ability to make them compatible with each other.

So what he called the triple curve force field was to arrange three of them in different spaces, two on standby, and one in operation, waiting in line.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens in the first curved force field, he can activate the second curved force field as quickly as possible to intercept the target.

One minute later, the triple curved force fields were constructed. This was the limit of what Zhang Yang could control, and for this he had to consume three portions of dry food per minute.

"Heat it up!"

The three curve force fields started to operate separately, and after reaching a high temperature of 1000 degrees, the last two curve force fields entered standby mode. However, this was not a standby mode with reduced energy. Instead, it required immediate double energy consumption to achieve stable standby mode. Otherwise, these two curve force fields would conflict with the first curve force field, and eventually all three would perish together.

As for the first curved force field, it continues to heat up. A small part of the flame inside comes from this furnace, and a larger part directly burns mana, which is to reduce the effect of the force field that devours the outside.

The energy efficiency ratio of burning magic power is the best. In just a dozen seconds, the flame temperature in the first curved force field soared to over 2000 degrees. The bead in it had begun to deform slightly and was about to melt.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhang Yang used his soul force field to keep a close eye on everything, not missing any subtle changes. It was too late to observe with the naked eye at this time, because the reactions and changes inside were all carried out in milliseconds.

"Right now!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yang activated the second curved force field and at the same time controlled it to merge with the first curved force field.

This is a very dangerous behavior. If it is not done properly, not even a bone residue will be left. Even if he puts in all the dry food, it cannot be stopped.

But Zhang Yang was certain that there was some stronger power hidden in the storage orb, so this seemingly extremely dangerous behavior was the safest behavior.

The instantaneous fusion of the two curved force fields may not be as powerful as the collision of two black holes, but it can definitely cause the collapse of space in a small range and the subsequent super explosion.

Yes, it collapsed.

The two curved force fields collapsed directly, forming a terrifying suction force that made Zhang Yang tremble. If it could not be stopped, the entire Storm City would be reduced to dust in an instant.

But at the same time, the storage orb was also melted by the high temperature, and a strange wave came out, which was extremely majestic, extremely domineering, and extremely terrifying! "Who is this monster? How dare you!"

Zhang Yang only heard these words through the soul force field, and then he felt like a small ant about to be stepped on by a giant elephant. The shudder from the depths of his soul was simply indescribable.

If it continued for a moment longer, he would probably be frightened into a mental patient or a vegetable.

However, as soon as this terrifying pressure appeared, it formed a perfect effect of one positive and one negative, one expansion and one contraction with the collapse of the two curved force fields.

God knows what is hidden in the storage orb. Anyway, except Zhang Yang, even Carl and others who were a few meters away didn't feel anything.

Little did they know that a crisis that could destroy Storm City had just passed by.

The smoke cleared.

The fatal collapse and contraction force was neutralized.

The terrifying power within the orb was annihilated as soon as it emerged.

All the best and good luck in your new business.

Zhang Yang lightly covered the third curved force field and landed perfectly.

Collect! It will be stable next time.

Zhang Yang burned most of the supplies in the storage orb, leaving only the twelve items that looked the safest.

Among them are five weapons with residual divinity, with a total of 34 units of divinity and 1,290 points of fanaticism.

Three blue stones, probably some kind of material.

Two fist-sized pieces of black steel with dragon scale patterns on them.

A piece of jade that emits faint soul fluctuations.

Finally, there is a strange stone tablet, engraved with various patterns and words.

The items in this storage orb are much better than the previous one.

But that’s not all. After burning most of the supplies, Zhang Yang also obtained 500 units of blue molten steel, which is a bit troublesome to deal with.

In the end, he still consumed five portions of dry food and directly melted this special blue molten steel into several weapons.

A short sword, an arm shield, a steel crossbow, 60 crossbow arrows, and several expected crossbow parts.

At this point, great things can be expected.
