The smithy was bustling with activity.
The Elven Blacksmith's eyes were bloodshot, but his face was filled with excitement. He ordered his apprentices to work and increased the temperature of the furnace from time to time. There were all kinds of rare materials on the side, but not all of them were Rare grade items. Most of them were just rare minerals. Forging wasn't something that could be done by directly embedding or simply mixing them together. It could be done with a spell. Forging in this world was a very advanced process, and it was definitely one of the most difficult skills to master.
In some ways, it was even more sci-fi than forging in the Interstellar Era.
The special materials were used as tools similar to carburizing catalysts. The rare minerals were used to add small amounts of other elements during hammering (similar to spring steel). The holy water on the side was used as a core material for secondary quenching. There were also some other rare items that Søren didn't know about. The Rare grade weapons in this world were hammered out one by one. Spells were only the later enchantments. The equipment in the Abyss of Hell was also forged using volcanic furnaces.
Søren looked at it and realized that he wasn't very good at it.
The Elven Blacksmith hammered the metal with a strange rhythm. After hammering for a hundred times, he sprinkled some ground powder and repeated the hammering process. The elements of the mineral powder would seep into the fish scale pattern steel, and the impurities would be removed during the hammering process. Only after a hundred times of hammering could a Rare grade weapon be called a Rare grade weapon.
Only then could a Rare grade weapon be undamaged in an intense battle.
Without rare materials like adamantine and mithril, this was the only way to achieve the best results.
This type of steel ingot existed in ancient times as well. It was called Wrought Iron in the Central Plains, Wootz Steel in some areas, and Damascus Steel Ingot in some places. Its forging process was similar to the elves' fish scale pattern steel ingot and the dwarves' Titan Steel Ingot. There were very few people in the world who could afford to use rare materials like mithril and adamantine to forge. Usually, half of the country's resources were used to do so. Therefore, most of the time, these special ingots were used to forge.
But for some reason.
Søren was a little excited when he saw how focused the Elven Blacksmith was on forging. He had a strong feeling that the weapon he was going to forge this time wouldn't just be a Rare grade 1 item.
It was possible that the extreme effect of ordinary iron forging would appear!
There were a few blacksmiths who could forge ordinary iron with the same effect as adamantine. Søren felt that the Elven Blacksmith in front of him probably had more than 200 points in Forging Skill. Judging from his Hundred-Fold Steel Forging technique and his concentration while forging, it was possible that the Elven Blacksmith had close to 300 points in Forging Skill.
The other party might be a Blacksmith close to the level of a Master Blacksmith. The only flaw was that he did not learn Alchemy!
He probably didn't even know that he was close to the level of a Master because it seemed that he had been forging in this village for many years. His skills had been stacked with time.
Søren stayed for a while before leaving. He didn't disturb the focused Elven Blacksmith at all.
The other party seemed to be in a state of madness. His expression was rather fanatical. He probably also felt that his skill was about to reach a breakthrough point.
After decades of smithing, he had never thought that he would reach a critical point because of an order for a Transcendent weapon.
…
Søren returned to the inn and began to study magic.
The more Spell Nodes and Spell Circuits he mastered, the faster he could learn other spells in the future, and the easier it would be for him to comprehend high-level spells.
A Master Blacksmith's weapon was basically the limit for a mortal's weapon.
Above that was Magic Enchantment, as well as the very sci-fi Elemental Collapse. Everything had a lot of space. Atoms and molecules had a lot of space, and protons and electrons had even more space. Elemental Collapse was the collapse of these spaces. The Arcane Empire had a lot of in-depth research on this, because the strongest Neutron Star Golem in the legends was made of Elemental Collapse. Søren once found some strange ores at the edge of the abyss, which was the point of contact between the plane and space.
They were only the size of a fingernail, but they could weigh up to three kilograms!
This was the Elemental Collapse material, and it was also an important material for Legendary weapons. The weapons made were almost indestructible!
It was also the only material that could resist Supernatural Magic Enchantment.
In the later stages of purebred Warriors, after entering the Legendary Realm, they would forge their own exclusive weapon. This Elemental Collapse material was the core material for their weapon forging. Until now, there was still a battle axe in the abyss, and even the Hundred-Armed Giant couldn't pull it out. If Søren remembered correctly, its strength should be around 45 points.
This strength was enough to move mountains and fill oceans!
In the underwater ruins, there was a document that recorded part of the Neutron Star Golem's data. It was only five meters tall, and its size was similar to a Steel Golem. It weighed 300,000 tons, and it was almost immune to all physical and magical attacks. In the entire Arcane Empire, there was only one Neutron Star Golem. Because of some mistakes, a piece of the continental shelf sank, and in the end, the Neutron Star Golem disappeared completely. Only in the Legendary Golem Craftwork would there be some records about the Neutron Star Golem.
Søren would definitely go to the abyss in the future.
This was because the materials he needed to forge Supernatural weapons could only be found in places like the abyss, and the Elemental Collapse material could directly block many Magic Attacks.
This was because even Magic Attacks couldn't penetrate it!
…
Time passed little by little.
Søren was very patient. Every day, he would practice the White Raven Sword Style regularly, and then he would learn the structure of spells. Occasionally, he would also practice his casting skills. He had a feeling that he would soon master the ability [Spell Control]. The innkeeper's attitude towards him was a lot friendlier. On one hand, it was because of Kindler, and on the other hand, it was probably because she was more familiar with him. She didn't think that he was a dangerous person.
In fact, Søren looked very handsome.
As long as he wasn't in a state of battle, he would look like a quiet scholar.
The Elven Blacksmith's eyes were getting more and more bloodshot, and he was getting more and more excited. Søren was even asked to buy more than a hundred Kindler's special materials. It was an unknown material that was refined using Divine Spells and Alchemy. It was an unknown material used to forge Holy Weapons. Anyway, even if he didn't know what it was, Søren still bought it without hesitation. This was because his custom-made curved sword was almost finished.
Three days passed quickly.
The Elven Blacksmith didn't sleep much. His eyes were bloodshot, and two of his apprentices had already collapsed from exhaustion.
When Søren arrived on the fourth day, the Elven Blacksmith finally showed a smile.
Clang!
A curved sword that was covered with tiny fish scales appeared in front of Søren. The hilt was very simple, and it didn't look like the style of an Elven weapon. There were only faint patterns on the hilt, and it looked like the unique mark of a Blacksmith. The Elven Blacksmith had already opened the blade overnight. He looked at Søren and smiled happily. Then, he swung the sword at the iron felt next to the furnace.
Clang!
A corner of the iron felt was cut off, and the thickness of the cut was close to five centimeters.
The Elven Blacksmith didn't seem to use too much strength, and he was able to cut off a corner of the iron felt. There wasn't a single scratch on the snow-white blade, and it looked just like how it was before.
Armor Break!
Søren's pupils shrank, and his expression changed. He quickly walked over to the Elven Blacksmith.
"Hahaha!" The Elven Blacksmith laughed hysterically, and then he held the curved sword in his hand in front of Søren.
Søren took the curved sword with a solemn expression, and then slightly bowed to show his respect.
It was really the ultimate forging of ordinary iron!
Only the Armor Break attribute could achieve such an effect. This was already close to the strongest grade 1 weapon.
Item Type: Curved Sword + 1 [Unenchanted]

…
Søren's expression was a little excited.
He stretched out his finger and gently stroked the curved sword's delicate body. He could feel the tiny fish scales rubbing against his fingertips. Søren lifted his finger and lightly flicked the blade. He could hear a crisp sound, as if it had a trace of magic. He couldn't help but murmur, "This sword is qualified to be used to slay a dragon!"
The Elven Blacksmith's tired eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly said, "That's right! It can definitely break through the dragon scales of a pure-blood dragon! "
"That's why I named it — Dragon Slayer!"
Søren was suddenly stunned.
As the one who forged this curved sword, the Elven Blacksmith in front of him did indeed have the right to name it. But this name was a bit of a pain in the ass, right?
He suddenly wanted to slap his own mouth.
