Chapter 259 Advanced Forging
Starting from the second day after returning to Hamers City, Crown threw himself into the busy forging work.
With other blacksmiths taking over the time-consuming and laborious processes, his job became relatively easy.
After advancing to the silver rank, his basic strength increased again. The heaviest forging hammer was like a toy in his hand. He could swing it at a high frequency without stopping for more than half an hour, leaving the blacksmiths stunned.
The efficient forging, each piece of equipment had beautiful patterns unique to extraordinary-grade equipment. The recruited blacksmiths were all shocked, especially those with high enough skills, who understood how difficult it was.
Rubart was one of the managers of the blacksmith shop. He accepted the offer because the new parish offered more salary. Moreover, he learned that this was the property of a bishop and thought that there should be a master in charge.
If he could work under a master and learn from him, he might be able to make further progress.
But I was greatly disappointed when I got here. I didn't see the master I had expected, but his level was actually the best among the group.
Although the salary here is not bad, becoming a master will gain much more. He is still young, only in his thirties, and he can definitely go further.
Rubart has decided to work for a few more months to save up some more gold shields and then return to Rhine City.
What he saw and heard today opened his eyes. He never thought that the owner of the blacksmith shop had such skills. This level has already surpassed that of a master.
He had been observing carefully for a long time. The forging hammer in the bishop's hand swung into a group of afterimages. An extraordinary weapon could be forged in just over ten minutes, and a breastplate that was the most difficult to forge could be completed in less than half an hour.
Long-term uninterrupted forging has not affected the craftsmanship level at all, and each piece is still a top-quality product.
"I'm not leaving."
Rubart made up his mind. It was not easy to move house. There was also hope for further progress. There was a master craftsman who surpassed the master blacksmith.
By constantly creating extraordinary equipment and with amazing efficiency, Crown's forging skills increased rapidly, with thousands of proficiency points gained every day.
After a week, he suspended the forging work. The equipment that had been accumulated during this period had been forged, and an extra batch of standard weapons were put into storage. His forging skills had also been successfully advanced.
[Forging: Extreme] (Long-term forging career has trained you to have a strong physique and greater strength.
Special Effect 1: Primary Strength. Increases basic strength by 10%. This special effect is superimposed with the special effects of skills such as Giant Bear Breathing.
Special Effect 2: Strong. Increases basic physical attributes by 10%.
Special Effect 3: Heart of Forging. Increases forging effect by 30%, definitely a top-notch item.) Klauen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally pushing this skill to its limit.
Forging is a strenuous job, a standard blue-collar skill, and the abilities that are improved are basic qualities such as strength and physique.
The good thing is that strength and physique can be superimposed with the attributes obtained from other skills, which is an unexpected gain.
The Heart of Forging can improve the properties of forged equipment and will also have a bonus on soul-infused weapons. He can now start forging soul-infused weapons.
Now that the forging skills have been improved to the limit, he needs to train a few high-level blacksmiths. He can't forge extraordinary equipment by himself.
After training a senior blacksmith, he can completely become a hands-off boss, and the profits of the blacksmith shop will increase a lot.
Clown waved his hand and said softly:
"Del, gather the best masters in the blacksmith shop. I will train them for a period of time in the next few days."
Del nodded and said with a smile, "Sir, I want to participate too."
Learning martial arts is always helpful. If he can become a senior blacksmith, his income will increase significantly.
Janice will finish her training in two years, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. He should plan more for his daughter, so that her future will be smoother.
Having lost all his relatives, he poured all his love into his daughter.
Clown nodded slightly. It was a good thing that his subordinates were motivated. He said gently, "Let's set the time in three days. I plan to train a few senior blacksmiths so that the blacksmith shop can be fully on track.
Go back and inform Nick to send troops to take over."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
"After the notice, come back quickly and accompany me to the alienated area."
"As you command, sir."
Del bowed and turned to leave.
Crown called Rubate back and said:
"From now on, the focus of the blacksmith shop will be on smelting high-quality metal ingots. I will need a lot of them."
It's time to improve the ability to control spirits. As the ability of the Fire Cube increases, he will be able to store more metal and the size of his clone will become larger and larger.
He is now preparing to obtain a third spirit control and is wondering which kind of spirit control can improve his combat effectiveness more.
. . . .
Crown and his companion drove to the alienated area, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at their destination.
The trees here are covered with vines, and there is a shadow under the white plants. It seems that this place has become a special primeval forest.
A few birds stood on the branches of the trees with lifeless eyes, silently staring outside the alienated area.
Del found that stiff body and eyes strange.
Klauen released the Source Armor. Now the appearance of the Source Armor was different from before. There were dots of bright silver in the orange-red color.
He could feel that the current source armor was much stronger than before, and he wondered if it could defend against the attacks of the star creatures.
After advancing to Silver, his spiritual perception became much more acute. He realized that there was a constant collision of laws between the alienated area and the outside world.
"You stay here, I'll go in and take a look."
Del responded, "Sir, I will accompany you."
As a guard, he felt that it would be a dereliction of duty for him to accompany the bishop on such an adventure.
Now that the knight's strength has advanced to the second level, he feels that he is qualified to step into this strange area.
Klauen shook his head: "You should stay outside and stay away as far as possible. The creatures lurking in this area are a great threat to bishop-level transcendents."
After hearing this, Del nodded in silence. It would be better for him not to take risks in places that pose a threat to the third-level extraordinary people. If he encountered an emergency, he would hinder the bishop.
Clown released golden light to protect his body, and then calmly entered the alienated area. After being nurtured, the power of the Taiyin Thunder Seal was restored a lot.
During this period of time, he did not refine the sun essence and moon essence, but he had accumulated enough sun fire liquid and moon dew, so he could use the golden light cannonballs at any time.
Stepping onto this land at this moment, Crown sensed that strange laws that were very different from those of the material plane had taken root here.
The malice emanating from it was even more subtle, and he could easily feel the ground beneath his feet and the alienated plants draining away his strength.
He walked out a few dozen meters and did not go any deeper.
Now he has no intention of directly conflicting with the star creatures, not because he is afraid of them. After advancing to silver, he is certainly not afraid of the enemy's challenge.
The Golden Light Spell gave him a better foundation. Clown's strength should be stronger than the Archbishop.
The purpose of his trip was to improve his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell more quickly. Once the skill was advanced, he would have more confidence to suppress the enemy, and maybe even acquire means to target star creatures.
Feeling the increasing amount of malice and pollution accumulating in his body, Crown released a golden light.
As his proficiency continued to improve, the power of the golden light became much stronger than before.
The golden light dispelled the darkness, and the deformed and twisted plants seemed to be stimulated by something and emitted colorful mist.
On the white skin of the plant, there are irregular dark brown spots the size of fingernails, like age spots, giving off a "smell" of decay.
Clown summoned the golden wall, and seeing that his proficiency had increased by nearly 300 points compared to when he came, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The advancement of the Golden Light Spell is just around the corner.
When the pollution on his body accumulated to a certain level, he once again released the golden light to shine everywhere...
As time passed, his proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra increased steadily.
In the alienated area, a colorful light curtain quickly passed through the shadows, and five-colored phosphorescence flashed on the crystallized white plants.
The star creature can feel the changes occurring in the area. It feels that the laws it has established are being destroyed, and it cannot tolerate this threat.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Clown felt the threat spreading from behind him. He secretly took precautions and immediately activated his fire breath.
At the same time, a bronze sword appeared in his hand, and he injected the source of life into the weapon. Bullet time was also released, and the metal essence covered his whole body and was possessed by the Fire Cube.
A warrior can never be careless at any time.
It is understandable that one cannot defeat the enemy after trying every possible means, but it would be foolish to fail due to carelessness, especially since the enemy he is facing is of the same level.
The sword glowed with orange flames, but the flickering outer flames were dancing with silver light, dangerous and beautiful.
A colorful band of light condensed into a giant net and pounced on the enemy.
Klauen turned around immediately, and the sword glowed with an even hotter light, slashing at the phosphorescence that was rushing towards him.
He wanted to try whether conventional means could deal with this kind of star creature first. The archbishop's holy power could cause damage because there were more elemental attacks in the holy power.
A strong wind blew past him, and the colorful phosphorescence was broken by the flame on the sword.
Crown felt a wave of hot steam rushing over his body, as if an octopus had grown a large number of suction cups, trying to absorb something from his body.
Just like last time, the golden light protection failed to block the enemy's attack, and the metal essence also had no effect against the attack, but the source armor glowed and blocked the attack of the star creatures.
Klauen was certain that the fourth-level fire breath could defend against the enemy's attack and also cause damage to it.
But the attack should be weaker than that of the Archbishop, because the colorful phosphorescence is attached to a big tree and has no intention of leaving.
After getting the answer he wanted to know, Crown stared at the colorful phosphorescence, ready to release golden light at any time.
Having just endured the enemy's attack, a lot of malice and corruption has accumulated in his body.
This creature doesn't seem to be very aggressive, but it is very polluting.
If an ordinary third-level transcendent had been subjected to an attack of that magnitude, he would probably have been contaminated and his spirituality invaded.
The phosphorescence of the star creature flowed on the nearby plants. Clown was thinking about countermeasures in his mind. This creature had no fixed shape and no so-called weaknesses.
He really didn't know what means he should use to completely destroy the opponent, but since the star creatures were highly polluting, this was a good place to improve the Golden Light Curse, so he didn't need to rush to destroy the opponent.
Crown adjusted his position so that he could see the enemy.
He had just released the golden light many times, and his physical strength was greatly depleted. He was ready to attack a few more times before retreating.
If the enemy pursues him relentlessly, he will reward him with a thunder seal attack.
The star creature suddenly pounced out during another transfer.
Klauen was quick-witted and quick-handed, releasing a golden light that shone everywhere, and some of the colorful phosphorescent light was melted away before it could reach him.
The star creature emitted a wave of angry emotions, continued to rush forward towards the golden light, and was cut by the flashing silver-red weapon.
This time, Clown did not stay in the distance. He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the frontal attack of the star creature and released the secret skill of cutting the wind.
It is meaningless to use force against the enemy. Only quick attacks using the silver-level life source will be effective.
Although the advancement of Fire Breath did not show any bonus to speed, his body's basic speed did increase to a certain extent after the advancement to Silver.
With the help of bullet time, he completely avoided the attacks of the star creatures.
When crossing paths with the enemy, Crown once again released golden light, and some colorful phosphorescence melted away in the golden light.
The star creatures merged into the ground and never appeared again.
Klauen was on guard, slowly leaving along the path he had taken when he came, and soon retreated to the edge of the alienated area.
He found that the star creatures could no longer tamper with his sense of direction. His spiritual sense sensed that an inexplicable force wanted to invade his sea of consciousness, but was blocked outside of it by the silver light.
He understood that the Silver Soul was more about building a spiritual defense outside the sea of consciousness.
Now at the edge of the alienated area, Clown released the golden light twice more, consuming all the stored life energy before he was willing to walk out.
He summoned the golden wall and found that his proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra had increased to 96714. After a few days' rest and another try, the Golden Light Mantra would be able to complete the advancement.
. . . .
On the airship, Fekart diligently described the situation of the Brotherhood in Rhine City and analyzed the situation. Finally, he concluded: "Sir, with your help, we will be able to complete the mission successfully."
After a month of discussion, the Brotherhood Council member group finally reached a consensus to send Lannister Leonard to Rhine City to find opportunities and targets for "communication and exchange".
After experiments, it was found that the golden light potion brought by Fekart did have a very good effect on spirit masters.
Lannister had been promoted to Silver for over two months, and the outside world was unaware that he had been promoted.
He majored in mental magic and could easily influence the enemy's perception and even tamper with the enemy's memory.
Sending him to Rhine City will enable him to accomplish the mission of controlling the target without anyone noticing.
Lannister changed his appearance at this time, took off his robe, put on a fur suit, held a black pipe, and wore a black top hat, looking like a big businessman.
He tilted his head to one side and used magic to convey a message: "The two of us are now strangers who met by chance. We should minimize direct communication.
I will separate from you at the next stop. This mission is very important, but it will be very troublesome if the church finds out.
Don't underestimate the potential power of a divine church, or we will pay the price in blood.
In addition, the parliament has given me the power to act flexibly, so you must cooperate with me and provide me with accurate intelligence."
