Chapter 32 Public Opinion War? The First Forging
In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Mandola has almost no subordinates in the anime that she actually has no leadership ability at all.
She can be bad, vicious, and insidious, but she must be able to bring certain benefits to her followers, otherwise why would others follow you?
So in the anime, she relied entirely on her brute force to force the fairies to call her the king.
However, it is understandable that there is no ruling class in Wonderland itself except the royal family, and even if there is, they are only slave owners.
Slave owners don't need to care about the feelings of slaves, and development has nothing to do with them.
The royal family had long since fallen into decline and almost no fairies knew about that period of history, so there was actually no reference case in the fairyland for Mandola to learn from.
Since he has no way to acquire knowledge from the outside world and has no inheritance of his own, it is understandable that he is unqualified to be a king.
"Mandora, are you proficient in general spells?"
"Very skilled, Sensei. I like to study spells when I'm alone."
Hearing Mandola's affirmative answer, Yue Heng nodded with satisfaction, knowing that the fairy could be used for multiple purposes.
"Then you will teach them how to use spells more efficiently. You can also teach them some powerful moves as appropriate."
"Once they become stronger, we can assign them to carry out a very important mission."
Yue Heng sat on the throne, gazing at the endless smoke in the distance, as if he had already seen the grand spectacle of the future.
"What is the mission, teacher?" Mandola looked curious.
"Public opinion war!"
"Public opinion war?"
Mandola had never heard of this term. Although she felt guilty about her ignorance, she had no choice but to continue asking the teacher shamelessly.
Yue Heng also guessed that Mandola might not understand, because this word became popular in the 21st century, so he explained it carefully.
"Now rumors about the evil deeds of the Dark Night Fairies are spreading all over the fairyland, causing ordinary fairies to form a prejudice against the Dark Night Fairies."
"We must reverse this rumor that is unfavorable to the Dark Night Fairy. The best way is to create rumors that are favorable to the Dark Night Fairy so that the two public opinions collide."
“This is a war of public opinion.”
"But we still have a long way to go before this stage, so there is no rush for now."
Yue Heng asked Mandola to rest assured, as they were just a makeshift team now and could not afford to fight a war of public opinion.
After all, if they want to start a war of public opinion, they need at least one or more media outlets that have a profound influence among the fairies and spread widely.
It would take at least years to build up this public opinion network.
Moreover, the fairyland is vast, with population settlements distributed in a dotted pattern, and there are even some fairies living in deep mountains and forests.
How can we get the media to reach every settlement, and how can we ensure that fairies in remote areas also use these media?
These are huge problems.
It is better to be down-to-earth when being a fairy. The most important thing is to train these dark night fairies in front of you first.
Thinking of this, Yue Heng raised his hand and created a clone of himself, instructing him to continue searching for other dark night fairies distributed in different regions.
"It's late today, go get some rest."
It was getting dark outside. Thinking that they had been tired all day, Yue Heng told Mandola to go and rest.
Although Mandola still felt that she was very energetic, she did not want to refuse her teacher's kindness, so she went to bed obediently.
Yue Heng also sat on the throne and closed his eyes to take a nap.
As he was closing his eyes, he suddenly shuddered.
Although the strength of these night elves is not very good now, weapons can be prepared in advance.
If you don’t have enough ability, you can make up for it with equipment. If a level 1 alt can ignore the restrictions on wearing equipment and wear full-level equipment, can’t it kill a level 50 boss?
Besides, there is a ready-made forging fairy at home, so why not use it?
So what was Duan Lingyi doing during the time when Yue Heng and Mandola were exploring the wonderland?
"As expected of the metal provided by Prince Jin, it is indeed second to none in purity."
Duan Lingyi swung the sledgehammer again and again, hitting the rough piece held in her hand with tweezers, with a terrifying smile of excitement on her face.
Each of her hammers brought out just the right amount of sparks without destroying the overall shape.
The heat wave hit me in the face, and the rough blank was now ablaze red. Although it was still in the forging process, only the shape of the weapon could be vaguely seen.
However, from the curved blade and the slender body, we can simply guess that this should be a knife, a saber from the Han Dynasty.
For Duan Lingyi, this was her first forging since she was born, so she was so excited that she was shaking all over.
After asking Prince Jin to borrow the best raw materials, she couldn't wait to start trying it.
As a forging fairy, theoretically she can forge anything, whether it's agriculture, industry or war weapons.
But the fact is that those industrial and agricultural weapons are not cool enough.
Just imagine two fairies facing off, one holding a three-foot sharp sword and the other holding a nine-foot rake. The other will lose in terms of momentum.
Winning or not is temporary, but being handsome or not is for a lifetime.
So after much thought, she finally decided to forge a handsome saber.
However, although Duan Lingyi has an extraordinary talent in forging, the gap between theory and practice is as huge as a chasm, not to mention that it is her first time.
Just to get this rough embryo in front of her, she had actually failed seven or eight times.
Modern swords are usually made of alloys or steels with extremely high performance.
But these alloys have not appeared at all now. If she wants to obtain these materials, she can only try them one by one based on her feeling, which is equivalent to conducting material research that is hundreds of years beyond the era.
The process was painful. The results were either too soft, or sharp enough but not tough enough, or even the two materials simply couldn't be fused together...
But the result was gratifying. Although she only succeeded in making one knife blank throughout the whole day, and the two elves who helped her pass the materials were so tired that they were like dead dogs, she finally found the right forging material.
After continuous hammering, the general shape of the saber has taken shape, and only quenching remains to complete all the preliminary work.
As the hammer in Duan Lingyi's hand stopped moving, the knife blank was completely completed.
The entire blade is about one meter long, and including the handle it is about one and a half meters long.
Under the control of immortal power, the red blade blank slowly floated up and fell straight into the cooling pool.
The moment it entered the water, a half-meter-high flame suddenly jumped up from the water surface and engulfed the entire blade. At the same time, a sharp sizzling sound was emitted, and the cooling pool was filled with mist.
After the knife blank has completely cooled down, Duan Lingyi gently pulls the knife blank out of the pool.
