"Golden Hammer Terra?"

These appraisers and blacksmiths looked at each other in bewilderment, obviously having never heard of such a person.

As a craftsman who has been able to grow to this level, it is impossible for this Lord Golden Hammer to be so unknown.

But they looked at each other and realized that it was indeed someone they had never heard of.

"Sir Terra, this master-level knight's long sword that took you so much effort to forge, are you going to auction it?"

The president of Shining Auction asked respectfully.

The Lord Terra in front of him not only has superb forging skills, but his own strength should not be underestimated. He is very likely a person from a powerful force.

The president was extremely cautious. After all, without a big force to rely on, how could one train a craftsman? That required a lot of iron and money, plus a rare forging talent.

It has been a long time since the death of Flame Hammer, when there hasn't been a craftsman-level figure. That's why they attach so much importance to the Golden Warhammer Terra that suddenly appeared.

"Yes, I want to auction it. I also want to reach a cooperation with your auction house. From now on, I will auction a batch of master-level weapons and equipment made by me personally here every month."

Levi said that he planned to release some of them in batches, and not too many at a time.

After all, even if you are a craftsman, your output will not be too high, and if you release too much, you will easily be suspected.

Moreover, things are valuable because they are rare. If you release too many of them at once, the value of your craftsmen will easily depreciate. It is better to take it slow and gradually build up your reputation.

"Okay, okay, okay! Your Excellency Terra, it is an honor to cooperate with you. In order to express the sincerity of our auction, I will apply to the higher-ups. In the future, whenever Your Excellency Terra comes to the Shining Tavern, we will give you free tickets, and we will also give you a corresponding discount on the auction handling fee."

"However, before signing the contract, we need to conduct a necessary assessment on Lord Terra. This assessment is only to confirm that the knight's sword was forged by Lord Terra. There is no malicious intent or disrespect towards Lord Terra. I hope Lord Terra does not mind."

Levi naturally agreed. He had worked hard on his forging skills and was not afraid of being tested.

He was taken by the auctioneers to a blacksmith shop owned by the Shining Tavern.

Then he deliberately slowed down his forging pace and efficiency, and imitated a normal craftsman to create a knight's sword that was exactly the same as the previous one. Levi named this sword: Autumn Color.

Together with the lake view, it was handed over to the auction.

In the end, Levi's forging skills deeply impressed these skeptical staff members. They couldn't help but applaud and signed a contract with Levi on the spot.

In this way, Levi has found a stable sales channel for his future forgings. If he can make a name for himself and have the Shining Tavern, a stable channel spread across the continent, then the Hog Rider will be dispensable, and Levi can consider settling accounts with the Hog Rider later. Old Toby must have also gained experience from the Hog Rider, and it is time for him to go home.

In the evening, the shining auction was held as scheduled.

The items being auctioned this time did not include the breathing method or precious materials that Levi wanted.

The purpose of his staying here was to see with his own eyes whether the long sword he forged was easy to sell.

After a warm-up, Levi's knight's longsword was brought to the stage by the auctioneer. The beautiful auctioneer had a graceful figure and raised her voice. She said, "Next, let me solemnly introduce to you the knight's longsword forged by the exclusive craftsman of this auction, Mr. Golden Hammer Terra: Lake Light and Autumn Colors!"

"These two knight swords are made of fine iron. They took His Excellency Terra twenty-one days of painstaking efforts and countless hammerings to forge. In terms of quality, they are on par with the legendary craftsman's Flame Hammer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below were in an uproar.

"What? A craftsman? Are there still craftsmen in this era?"

"Who is the Golden Hammer? As an official blacksmith, I have never heard of this person in the industry! He must be a liar!" A bearded blacksmith said in a buzzing voice.

I saw many people totally don't believe it.

The beautiful auctioneer took out a longsword forged by the Hammer of Flame, and randomly selected a number of knight-level strongmen or formal blacksmiths from the guests on the scene. They had a more precise grasp of the quality of the knight's longsword, and the bearded blacksmith was also invited to the stage.

After a comparison, these people found that in terms of external quality, there seemed to be not much difference between these two swords and the Flame Hammer sword.

This aroused the bearded blacksmith's quibbling spirit. "You can't judge the quality of a knight's sword just by its appearance. I think since it's a long sword, it should be tested in actual combat."

Seeing that the bearded man was not convinced, the beautiful auctioneer did not get angry, but smiled and said, "Since this gentleman is also a blacksmith, how about taking out the long sword you forged and the Lake Light Sword forged by our Golden Hammer and giving them to the two knights present for a real fight?"

Brush, brush, brush.

Suddenly, countless eyes were focused on the bearded man.

He coughed, unable to back down, and could only grunt and say, "Give it a try, who's afraid of who?"

Then, the Lake Light Sword and the sword forged by Big Beard were handed over to two official knights of similar strength, and the sword duel began on the stage.

Ping-pong, crackle!

For a moment, everyone watched a wonderful swordsmanship competition at the auction for free.

Finally, there was a click and a cracking sound seemed to be heard.

Everyone looked in response and saw that the sword forged by the bearded man had become a little bent at some point, and even had subtle cracks appearing on it.

"This...how is this possible?" The bearded man's face was full of disbelief.

"Your Lake Light is definitely not made of ordinary fine iron. I think it is made of mithril! This is cheating!" he continued to argue.

The auction was tested as he wished, and after the final test, the result was 100% pure iron, without any trace of mithril.

Levi sneered in his heart in the background: "If I had mithril, would I sell it? Wouldn't it be better for me to use it myself?"

In the end, everyone had to admit that this knight's sword was indeed unusual.

The bearded man left the scene dejectedly with his sword amid the auctioneer's smile.

Obviously, it is the same material as other blacksmiths, but this sword has reached the pinnacle level. It is too exaggerated to say that it can cut iron like mud. However, if it is an ordinary knight's sword, in the clash and collision with the knight's sword forged by the golden hammer, it will not take long for the ordinary knight's sword to have some minor damages such as curling of the blade and notches. This is caused by the different degree of utilization and development of the same material by craftsman-level blacksmiths and ordinary blacksmiths.

Finally, amid great enthusiasm, the two brand new knight swords were sold at a total of fifty gold coins, with the Lake Light worth thirty gold coins and the Autumn Colors worth twenty gold coins.

You know, a normal knight's sword is only about one gold coin, and the price difference is huge.

To be honest, even though the quality of this longsword is much higher than that of an ordinary longsword, it is definitely not worth thirty gold. The main premium comes from the value bonus added by the craftsman.

Being able to own a knight's longsword forged by a craftsman is something that many nobles and knights talk about with great relish, as can be seen from everyone's enthusiasm for the Flame Hammer.

But the Flame Hammer was a man from a long time ago, and his legacy was scattered all over the kingdom, so there was not enough to share, so the price kept rising. Moreover, iron products would oxidize and rust, so the newer the sword, the higher its value.

Levi looked at all this with satisfaction and got his share of the gold coins.

“Master Terra, there are many nobles and knights who want to contact you through us and ask you to customize them.” said a staff member of the Shining Auction.

"I don't have time to customize it." Levi said.

"What if he adds money?" the staff asked.

"Well... that's possible, but the number of people should not be too large. You can handle the details yourself. Anyway, all my forgings will be handed over to you for processing. I don't care whether it's auctioned or customized." Li Wei said.

After saying that, Levi left the Shining Tavern in a hurry.

The news of the birth of a new craftsman quickly spread throughout Icewind City.

I believe that as time goes by, the name of the Golden Hammer Terra will spread throughout the Emerald Kingdom through word of mouth among bards and knights.

Levi found a small hotel in Icewind City and stayed there temporarily.

He took out the books on linguistics and customs of the Tuva Empire that he had bought and began to read them.

After finally reading through it, Levi opened the proficiency panel.

His face darkened: "No?"

In the end, Levi tried many books over and over again.

It is basically confirmed that the dream of quickly mastering the Tuvan language through hard work has been shattered.

However, he still decided to go to the Tuva Empire in person, hoping to get enough ambergris at one time to allow him to break through to the rank of Grand Knight.

But that would require a guide.
