In Edgar's blacksmith shop, the clanging sounds were incessant. The previous work had long stopped. At this moment, Edgar and Twain stood beside Brian, staring at the hammers flying up and down in Brian's hands. Each of them had different thoughts.
Edgar was very excited. He could finally see Brian forge weapons with his own eyes. Although he had long known that the dwarves' products were of high quality, this was the first time he had seen a dwarf forge, so he was very attentive. He even felt that when Brian waved the hammer and how high the hammer was raised had a profound meaning. He firmly remembered these in his heart …
And Tang En …
"F * ck! He's actually using a treasure-level two-handed hammer as a forging hammer! Dwarves are really rich! "
Looking at Brian waving the two-handed hammer like a hammer, Tang En could only feel the wind blowing.
"Chi …"
Brian put the red sword embryo into the water. After a burst of smoke, he continued to beat it, and the sword embryo soon took shape.
Tang En, who was watching from the side, was so bored that he wanted to doze off. Although the forging process in the game had simulated the real forging process, it was very fast. Normal equipment was finished in a short while, and only Legendary equipment required a longer time. It was unlike now, where a normal steel sword actually took so long to forge.
Just as Tang En was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a loud shout. He was jolted awake, and when he raised his head again, he found that Brian had already done it.
"Done?"
"Of course!"
Brian was very proud. "But this material is really amazing. It looks similar to pig iron, but it took twice as long as I used to forge weapons."
The long sword in Brian's hand had already taken shape and had been sharpened. Because it was just an experimental weapon, the appearance of the sword was very simple.
"Come and try it and see how the performance is!"
Brian couldn't wait, so Tang En took out a fine iron long sword made by Edgar from the side and said, "Cut it and you'll know."
"Are you ready? I'm coming! "
Brian shouted, and the fine iron long sword slashed over!
Tang En slashed at it casually. With a crisp "clang", Brian was sent flying.
"Oh my Goddess! Big brother, you're too strong! "
Brian crawled out from a pile of scrap metal and looked at the fine steel sword in his hand. He was very surprised. "It's actually fine?"
The two swords clashed, but the fine steel sword didn't even have a scratch on it. On the other hand, the sword in Tang En's hand actually had a big hole. If the force of the clash was a little stronger, it would probably have been cut off directly!
Brian carefully compared the two swords. The more he looked, the more excited and shocked he became. "The beard of a forging hammer! This, this material will change everything in Prandal! "
Of course, Brian was shocked. Compared to the rarity and preciousness of magical metals, the number of iron ores was extremely large. Almost everyone would use ironware!
And this material, which was born from iron ore and named steel, had properties far surpassing iron. What did this mean?
In a battle between two armies, the soldiers on one side were using iron equipment while the soldiers on the other side were using steel equipment. The advantage was simply too great!
At this moment, Edgar's admiration for his Lord could not be any greater. This was a material with the potential to change the world!
Moreover, it was born in his blacksmith shop under his witness!
What would people say about the birth of steel in the future?
It was born in Ellington Edgar's blacksmith shop!
At this moment, Edgar only felt a sense of glory.
"Big brother! You've changed the whole world! "
Even Brian, who had his eyes on the top of his head, faintly admired Twain at this moment.
Tang En smiled faintly and said, "Now is not the time to talk about changing the world. At least wait until the production of steel increases."
"Production? Yes! Production! "
Brian's eyes shone. He couldn't wait to immediately urge Tang En to continue making steel.
"Wait, what are you trying to do?"
Tang En looked at Brian with a vigilant face. "Don't expect me to continue making this thing in the future. If the production of steel wants to increase, it must be industrialized, large-scale, and large-scale. I can't keep making this thing."
"What do you mean by this thing!"
Brian was exasperated. "This is a treasure!"
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I know, I know … That's why I plan to make a blast furnace."
"Blast furnace?"
"Yes, it's something for making steel … Well, I'll go back and make a blueprint, then find some workers to start work."
Now that he had determined that the performance of the steel was enough, Tang En no longer hesitated. The steelmaking plan must be put on the agenda.
"Uh, excuse me … Lord Tang En, can you sell this sword to me?"
At this moment, Locke's voice suddenly sounded.
"Locke? Why did you come in? "
Tang En was stunned for a moment. He was too focused just now and didn't notice anyone approaching.
"I just shouted a few times outside, but no one paid attention to me. I heard a sound in the back yard, so I came in …"
Locke smiled and said, "I just saw you guys experimenting with that sword …"
At this point, Locke's eyes kept drifting to the steel sword in Brian's hand. He clearly saw the experiment just now. This longsword made by the dwarves almost cut the other sword in half, but it was completely fine!
For a warrior like him, this kind of good weapon was a dream come true.
"Sell!? Can you afford it!? "
Although Brian had a good impression of Locke, he didn't want to sell this sword. The commemorative significance of this sword was greater than anything else. He planned to keep it forever for his descendants to appreciate in the future!
"This … fifty … No! A hundred gold coins! "
Locke gritted his teeth and forcibly doubled the price. "A hundred gold coins, I think it's enough to buy this sword embryo, right?"
"A hundred gold coins, hmph …"
Brian was just about to continue mocking Locke when he was stopped by Tang En. Tang En smiled and said, "I remember that you spent a lot of effort to get the money to buy those healing potions in Caspermy Castle, right? Can you take out a hundred gold coins now? "
Locke's old face immediately turned red. "I, I can't …"
"No, but," Locke hurriedly said, "But after completing this mission, I can definitely make up for it! I swear in the name of the leader of Cross Rose! I — "
Locke still wanted to say something, but Tang En waved his hand and took the longsword from Brian's hand. He handed it to Locke and said with a smile, "This sword embryo is for you. It's just a sword embryo anyway."
"For me?"
Tang En nodded. "That's right. It's for you, no gold coins."
Brian and Edgar were anxious. "My Lord! How can you do this!? That's — "
Tang En said faintly, "This is my decision."
So the two could only shut up.
Locke was excited. He was now sure that Tang En really intended to give this sword to him!
"Thank you! Thank you very much! You're really a generous and benevolent lord! With this sword, the skeletons of the necromancer won't be a threat to me at all. My chances of completing the mission have also increased by a lot. I will definitely not forget your kindness! "
Locke was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Tang En to be such a generous person. Just now, the group was still arguing about Tang En's shameless promotion! In the blink of an eye, this person gave him a sword!
"Powder for a beauty, a sword for a hero."
Tang En smiled and said, "I wish you all success in your mission."
"Definitely!"
Locke clenched his fists and secretly swore that after the mission was over, he would definitely spread the word about Ellington, especially the fact that there was such a benevolent and hospitable lord here.
This was the only thing he could do for Tang En.
After sending Locke off, Brian began to complain. "Brother, we spent so much effort to make this steel sword and you just gave it away. Aren't you too generous?"
"This isn't being generous. This is called a long-term investment."
Tang En shook his head. "You don't understand."
Ellington urgently needed to make a name for himself, and Locke was the first batch of friendly outsiders that Tang En had come into contact with. He had to make Locke leave a deep impression on Ellington.
This way, with Cross Rose's activities, Ellington's reputation would gradually spread, and there would be more and more people here.
In the end, the reason why Tang En was so enthusiastic about Cross Rose was because he wanted to attract enough people for Ellington.
Edgar and Brian were in a different position from him, so of course, they couldn't understand his actions.
Ignoring Brian's muttering, Tang En smiled and said, "Don't mind it. It's just a steel sword. When the production of steel increases, you probably won't even bother to pick it up. Compared to this, I have an interesting suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Brian and Edgar pricked up their ears. "What interesting suggestion?"
"Today, Brian used half a day just to forge a crude weapon. Have you thought about how much time can be saved if we use a punching machine and cutting machine?"
"This …"
Brian frowned. "Isn't this different? Farming tools don't require good quality, but weapons are different. Can these mass-produced things be used? "
"That's because your thinking is too rigid … Have you heard of folding forging?"
"Folding forging?"
Tang En looked at Brian as if he was looking at a lab rat. He chuckled. "Let me teach you a new forging method. You can try it with the remaining ingots. "
"Is this the folding forging method you mentioned?"
"That's right. The weapons forged with this method are not only powerful, but also tough and have a higher endurance … There's also Bao Gang's method that can increase the endurance and toughness of the weapon … Mud quenching … Carburizing …"
When Brian heard these new forging methods, his eyes widened and he couldn't even react.
"Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, just say it. If you don't say that you want to learn, how will I know that you want to learn? Although you've been staring at me, you still have to say that you want to learn. Do you really want to learn? You don't really want to learn, do you? Do you really want to learn? If you want to learn, of course I won't teach you. It's impossible that I won't teach you if you say that you want to learn, but if you say that you don't want to learn, then I'll teach you. If you don't want to learn, then won't I lose face? I'm reasonable — "
Brian's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. "Learn! I want to learn! "
"That's right …"
"Sir Lord …"
Edgar looked at Tang En with a pleading face.
Of course, Tang En wouldn't ignore his own people. He waved his hand and said, "You also learn."
