As soon as he said he was going to do it, he used his power of the Will to envelop the rough blank that was already at 100 skills. Since he did not use the normal method of 100 skills, he felt that he could still continue to forge with his power of the Will. He lifted the 100 pound hammer up high and slammed it down heavily. He threw the rough blank into the furnace and took it out again. He repeated this process over and over again.
101 practice, 102 practice, 103 practice … 120 practice.
When it reached 120 practice, Abel found that this blank could no longer be refined. Its structure was more compact and harder than the original 100 practice blank, so he directly called it 120 practice blank.
From the blank to the shield, Abel just had to beat it slowly. A typical Knight's shield was made by Abel. He also chiseled a groove on the inside of the shield to place the gem.
The rune ink Abel chose was a neutral intermediate rune ink. It was very easy to draw runes. Since he already had experience in modifying runes, he didn't make any changes to the rune itself this time. All he did was add the energy rune circuit to connect it to the groove. Since he had 4 ready-made examples of the energy rune circuit, he was able to successfully draw the rune in one go.
He put the gem into the groove as the energy source and used his power of the will to activate the rune. In a flash of white light, the rune was successfully activated. Although he hadn't tested the function of this shield yet, it was very successful this time.
Abel put the shield on the ground and hit it directly with the hammer. He first used 10% of his strength, which was 200 pounds. When the hammer hit the shield, a flash of white light appeared on the surface of the shield, and the impact was directly offset.
Abel used 60% of his strength, which was the strength of an intermediate Knight's combat qi explosion. This time, the impact was also offset by the flash of white light on the surface of the shield.
Seeing such a powerful shield, Abel felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He couldn't help but use the full force of the hammer in his hand. Up to 2000 pounds of force directly smashed onto the shield. "Bang!" A loud sound was heard. The shield was smashed into the ground paved with boulders. This time, the attack was not completely mitigated.
Abel didn't know what level of Knight could produce 2000 pounds of strength, but this shield was enough for Knights in battle. In addition, Abel also found that the hardness of the 120 practice blank shield was also beyond his imagination. Although it offset most of the physical damage, there wasn't even a mark on the place where the hammer hit the shield. This showed how hard this shield was.
The strength of a magic weapon lay in its magical effect. This time, the magic effect was very compatible with the shield. As long as the energy source of the shield was not depleted, the magic effect would continue to exist. Although the shield could not offset magic attacks, Abel had not seen any magic attacks in a long time, except for the few magic weapons that he made himself.
The magic shield that could offset physical damage had been created, but it still looked ugly. The surface of the shield was bare, and the inner lining was not made yet.
However, Abel had some doubts. During the forging process today, he made a 120 practice blank, which was a little different from what Master Bentham said. According to Bentham, the highest quality blank was 100 practice. He decided to bring this shield to Master Bentham. Also, he wanted to ask Master Bentham to identify the material of the black armor in the room.
Back in the room, Abel took the black armor and rode to the blacksmith's shop.
"This is your new work?" Master Bentham looked at the shield in Abel's hand curiously.
"This material?" Master Bentham immediately noticed the difference in the material. He looked up at Abel and asked, "Is this made from ordinary iron ore?"
"Yes, I used the best iron ore in the mine," Abel replied.
"That's impossible. Although the material is not as good as iron meteorite, it is definitely better than ordinary 100 practice. How did you forge it?" Master Bentham knew it was not good to ask someone's forging method directly, even if the person was his disciple in name. However, his strong curiosity and passion for blacksmithing made him blurt out this question.
"This is the material I got from 120 practice." Abel said honestly. There was no need to hide anything from Master Bentham, unless it was a secret about himself.
"120 practice? How can it be 120 practice? " At this moment, Master Bentham deeply felt that everything he had learned was shattered. He did not doubt Abel's words. Firstly, Abel had no reason to lie to him. Secondly, the material of the shield in front of him was indeed different.
"Let me forge it for you." Abel saw the change in Master Bentham's expression and directly said.
"Come, come to my control room." Master Bentham grabbed Abel and pulled him into his control room.
Master Bentham picked a pile of iron ore for a while and found the best one. He placed it on the control table and said to Abel, "This is the best iron ore I have. Can you see if it's usable? If not, I'll go to the mine to find more. "
"This will do."
Abel reached out and threw the iron ore into the furnace. When Abel took the 100-pound hammer from the side, Master Bentham's eyes froze. He had never heard of anyone using a 100-pound hammer to refine. This was because a 100-pound hammer was only used by blacksmiths to flatten large curved iron. It was not used for refining.
To refine a 100-pound hammer required more than a few thousand swings of the hammer. How many blacksmiths could withstand such a heavy hammer?
However, when Master Bentham saw Abel take out the iron ore from the furnace and forge it, he realized that Abel used the 100-pound hammer much more easily than he did with his 30-pound hammer.
From the sound of the hammer hitting the blank, he could tell that Abel used a lot of strength. Bentham knew Abel's strength. Although it was great, it was not at this level. In other words, Abel's strength had increased tremendously.
Master Bentham watched Abel forge from the first to the 80th step. He could not help but nod. He had taught Abel all this, but now Abel's skills were not inferior to his. However, when he saw the 81st step, he realized that Abel did not use his power of the will. He also did not follow the lines based on his experience like he did. Instead, he used more strength to forge.
At this moment, Master Bentham didn't feel like he was watching a man forging a rough billet. Instead, he felt like he was watching a rock monster hammering the ground. Every time it hammered the ground, the master could feel the ground trembling.
The blank that was not supposed to be refined by brute force was being refined again and again under this brute force.
When it came to the 100th step, Abel began to use his power of the will. This was also because he was not experienced enough. If he had enough experience, he could still forge without using his power of the will.
When Abel finished his last strike, the blank on the workbench had been refined 120 times. Master Bentham looked at the blank and did not say anything for a long time.
"How much strength do you have?" Master Bentham finally thought of an important question. If someone else were to use this kind of technique, they would first need to have enough strength. What kind of strength would be needed to forge a 120 times blank like this? So he asked Abel.
"About 2000 pounds," Abel said softly, as if he was afraid that Master Bentham would be scared.
"2000 pounds?" Master Bentham thought to himself, "Monster!"
Master Bentham suddenly remembered that Abel was a Knight. His strength was enhanced by his combat qi. "How much strength do you have if you don't use your combat qi?"
"2000 pounds is if I don't use my combat qi." Abel explained, but he did not dare to say the number. He really did not want to scare Master Bentham.
"Sigh …" Master Bentham sighed and shook his head helplessly. This kind of strength was not something that could be achieved by a Knight, let alone a Blacksmith. It seemed that Abel was the only one who could forge a 120 times blank like this.
