"Don't worry, young marquis. I, Old Huo, am proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. I will definitely forge a suitable spear for you."
Huo Bingzi was a square-faced man wearing straw sandals. He had received favors from the Prince of Zhennan in his early years.
Therefore, when he knew that Zhong Zhenyue was coming to visit, he accepted it directly without waiting for him to speak.
"Uncle Huo, I don't want a spear."
Zhong Zhenyue cupped his hands and said seriously, "I want a hammer."
Brother Li, who turned the tide in southern Xinjiang, has made great contributions, but the court has not made any statement so far, and Zhong Zhenyue has been feeling aggrieved.
Until his father took him to the court once.
All the high-ranking officials, the nobles and the rich, were just good at talking. They managed to minimize the war in southern Xinjiang, and finally turned it into "Your Majesty's virtue is like heaven."
The emperor didn't need to reward himself, so in the end the matter was left unresolved.
Brother Li may have come to the capital now.
Zhong Zhenyue hopes that he can come out on top in the Qianlong Conference and stand dazzlingly in front of all the dignitaries, so that they will open their eyes and cannot ignore him.
Huo Bingzi was stunned: "Hammer?? What do you want this thing for?"
"For a friend of mine."
"How can a Hidden Dragon use a hammer..."
It seemed as if he suddenly remembered that there was a person whose nickname was called the Little Overlord of the Hammer.
"Then you better think carefully. I can only attack once, so you have to think of a way to use your weapon yourself."
"I've thought about it."
Zhong Zhenyue nodded without hesitation.
At this time, the inner courtyard of the sword furnace opened, and flames poured out like flowing lava.
Huo Bingzi was startled, then immediately turned around and bowed towards the firelight.
"Master, you... have come out of retreat?"
"Uncle Huo's mentor?"
Zhong Zhenyue followed his line of sight and saw an old figure standing at the end of his field of vision. He was missing two fingers on his left hand and his face was as dry as orange peel.
One of the four great sword forge masters, Du Wufeng.
Ever since he forged the Heavenly Sword, I don’t know whether he had some realization or encountered a bottleneck, but he shut down the furnace and hammer and has been in seclusion ever since.
He himself is also a powerful master at the peak of the Dharma body, only a step away from the seventh realm.
"Are you...?"
"Haha, what are you thinking about? It's not that easy to accomplish a masterpiece..."
Du Wufeng shook his head and looked at Zhong Zhenyue: "Who is this kid? He has a strong body and is a good candidate for the battlefield. Is he here to learn blacksmithing from a master?"
Huo Bingzi explained, "He is the only son of Prince Zhong. With the Hidden Dragon Conference approaching, he asked me to forge a hammer weapon for his good friend."
"Hammer? Tsk tsk...are there still little guys using this?"
A gleam of light flashed in Du Wufeng's cloudy old eyes.
Blacksmiths are all practitioners of both skills and martial arts, and hammering is the choice of many craftsmen.
Unfortunately, blacksmithing is different from beating people. It takes seven or eight years to be an apprentice. If you haven't made it to the list of potential dragons, you have already exceeded the age limit.
"Some seniors, my brother Li, nicknamed the Little Overlord of the Divine Hammer, is now ranked fourth among the Hidden Dragons and is also in Southern Xinjiang..."
Zhong Zhenyue hasn't finished speaking yet.
An apprentice came running outside and said respectfully, "Master, your highness is here to visit us. We are waiting for you at the sword furnace."
"Then go ahead."
Du Wufeng shifted his attention and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
It seemed that the prince interested him more.
Zhong Zhenyue's heart sank.
Jiang Yu wouldn't...
Should we ask a master craftsman to create a mysterious weapon?
He and Huo Bingzi looked at each other and said,
"Uncle Huo, I'm curious about the sword furnace's weapon-making techniques. Can you take me for a look?"
"nature."
Huo Bingzi seemed to know what he was thinking.
at the same time.
At the entrance of the sword furnace, several figures walked into a sea of fire and steel.
At the front is a boy who is about to become a young man. He is wearing a Chunyang long gown that is not easily damaged by fire. His eyes are clear and bright, and his face is handsome without losing the lines. He looks more and more like a righteous gentleman.
When Xiao Li arrived at Jianlu, he felt like he was back home.
Even though his temperament seems more like that of a Confucian scholar, he is out of place here.
He's not the only one who doesn't fit in.
The aloof Ying Bing has a completely different style from the one here.
Jiang Chulong looked around carefully. When she was at Tianshan Sword Manor, she spent most of her time in the sword tomb. This was her first time back to the sword forge.
"Do you really want to participate in the Weapon Forging Conference?"
?Xie Xuan still couldn’t believe it.
He thought it was normal that Li Mo was good at hammering, but one could not become a craftsman just by being good at hammering.
Li Mo is now seventeen years old.
Taking into account the time spent on training martial arts, how much time is left to be spent on honing skills?
Most of Jianlu's apprentices are in their twenties or even thirties.
"Of course, I feel more at ease with the weapon I made myself."
Li Mo looked at the furnishings here and nodded.
Xie Xuan added: "You can participate in the weapon forging competition. First, your physique will be tested. Second, you must bring two assistants during the forging process."
"There is such a rule?"
"Yes, one assistant is responsible for quenching, and one assistant is responsible for picking materials. Otherwise, you cannot participate in the competition."
"Then I have it."
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"who?"
When Xie Xuan was confused.
Li Mo pointed at Ying Bing and Jiang Chulong.
Ying Bing: “…”
Jiang Chulong: “!”
Xie Xuan: “???”
The second-ranked Xiao Xie opened his eyes wide, and in his eyes he read:
'Are you fucking kidding me? '
Li Mo said: "Quenching requires extremely high control of the temperature, right?"
