Chapter 690 Forging a Legendary Longsword

Lonely Mountain City, Hammer Workshop,

Netil was silent for a moment, glanced at Reese, and said nothing more.

She was familiar with Tom.

I know very well what kind of person this old man is.

If it was something else, he might joke around with others, but when it came to forging, he was absolutely serious.

And when Nitil looked at Tomn's expression, she didn't see any sign of joking.

So, what Grandpa Tom said is true?

Netil's eyes lit up instantly when she looked at Reese.

As the receptionist of the Hammer Workshop, she was well aware of the skilled and superb skills of those who were able to break away from the Hammer Workshop and set up their own forging workshop.

What's more, this is Lonely Mountain, the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom!
It can be said that the people with the strongest forging skills in the entire Dwarf Kingdom are basically located here.

It is not an easy thing to make a name for yourself here and own your own forging workshop!

And this handsome young dwarf, Reese, in front of him actually has such strength?
Nitil felt like she was in love. If Tom was right, then Reese in front of her was really the most outstanding peer she had ever met!
Thinking of her parents' urging, Nitil secretly made up her mind.

However, she did not take the initiative to show anything at this time.

She wants to introduce a forging apprentice to join the Hammer Workshop, and if she asks Grandpa Tom, there might still be a chance.

But a forging master wanted to join the Hammer Workshop, and this was no longer something she could interfere with.

Nitil stood quietly aside, looking at Li Si with fiery eyes.

However, Li Si did not pay attention to the gaze of the female dwarf beside him. He looked at Tom and said in a deep voice:
"I just arrived in Gushan City today. Before that, I have been studying and training alone in my hometown."

"The reason I came to the Iron Hammer Workshop is because I heard that this is the place with the strongest forging technology in the kingdom, so I wanted to come here to learn."

"That's true. Our workshop is the strongest in the kingdom. The Molten Core Workshop and the Secret Furnace of Khazad-dûm are no match for our Hammer Workshop."

"But, you said you had been studying on your own in your hometown before. Did you learn by yourself without a teacher?"

Tom stroked his beard and said complacently, but suddenly seemed to realize something and quickly looked at Li Si and asked.

"Well, Uncle Felix taught me for a while, but he didn't accept me as his apprentice."

Li Si nodded and said.

"Felix? Let me think, is he the guy from the forge workshop of the mayor of Bol City?"

"If it's him, his level might not be as good as yours now, so there's no point in teaching him or not."

Tom looked at Li Si, his eyes shining, and muttered to himself.

"Wait, let me interrupt for a moment."

Li Si looked at Tom, whose eyes were becoming more and more strange, and asked:

"I just arrived in Lonely Mountain City and this is my first time at the Hammer Workshop. Why are you so sure that my forging skills are strong?"

"Haha, of course. What else can I not see?"

Tom laughed, then noticed Li Si's puzzled look and explained with a smile:
"How much time do you think I've spent on forging? I can certainly tell what your strengths are."

"Your temperament and some details may not be noticed by others, but they are quite clear to me."

Tom pointed at the calluses on Li Si's hands and said with a smile.

"So that's how it is, you are worthy of it!"

Li Si nodded.

I like that you can see it this way, otherwise all my preparations would be in vain.

Since Li Si chose to come to the Hammer Workshop and join here as a forging master, he naturally had to be fully prepared.

If you are an apprentice, there is naturally not much to pay attention to.

However, if Li Si wants to be qualified to enter the core of the Sotiga volcano, he certainly cannot slowly improve himself from the apprentice level.

Although that is safe, it takes too long.

Therefore, Li Si decided to join the Hammer Workshop as a forging master.

A sudden arrival of a forging master, even if he entered the Hammer Workshop, would definitely attract the attention of the Dwarf King's Court and even the Dwarf Temple.

Therefore, Li Si naturally had to take some details into consideration.

For example, now, Li Si specially designed the image of the dwarf Lis according to the records of some dwarf forging masters.

Now it seems that except that he may be a little too "handsome", there is no other problem.

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Si looked at Tom and asked:

"Now, can I join the Hammer Workshop?"

"Yes, yes."

Tom thought for a moment, looked at Li Si and said:

"Reese, although I can see your strength, if you want to join the Hammer Workshop, you still have to follow the rules. You need to take a test."

"Of course, this test may be easy for you."

"follow me!"

After saying that, Tom walked towards the back of the Hammer Workshop.

Li Si followed Tomn and entered the largest forging workshop in Lonely Mountain City.

"Reese, this is the business area. Every craftsman in the Hammer Workshop needs to complete a certain number of forging tasks every month. This is the workshop's requirement. Just accept the forging commissions you want here."

"Reese, this is the material area. You can exchange the forging materials you need here, or you can buy them with real money, but it's more cost-effective to exchange them with contributions from the workshop."

"Reese, this is the forging area. Most of the craftsmen make equipment in this area, but with your strength, Reese, you will definitely be able to get a dedicated forging room."

Nitier followed Li Si and introduced him to him enthusiastically.

Li Si nodded, observing the internal layout of the Hammer Workshop.

In fact, when we got here, the air temperature inside the workshop was already quite high.

The scorching temperature seemed to ignite everything around, but this temperature was just right for the dwarves, and even Netil did not show any discomfort.

As if noticing the arrival of Tomn, Nitil and a new face, the surrounding dwarves also looked over curiously.

But soon, they withdrew their gaze.

This dwarf is so handsome, you can tell at first glance that he is not a blacksmith.

Could it be that the descendant of some important person came to visit?
The dwarves who can appear in the Hammer Workshop are basically those who are obsessed with forging and have excellent skills, and they basically don’t care much about other things.

Li Si followed Tom and came to a corridor with several doors on both sides. Tom pushed open one of the doors and walked in.

Li Si followed behind him, and what appeared before him was a rather unique forging room.

The forging room is quite large, even larger than a small forging workshop.

The air in the room was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and hot metal. In the center of the workshop, a furnace made of obsidian and fine steel stood tall, like a dormant beast, with dark red lines wriggling like blood vessels.

The terrifying high temperature seemed to make the air constantly twist and hiss. Most people simply couldn't withstand such high temperatures.

Around the furnace, forging tables extend in a jagged pattern, the table tops covered with hammer marks and charred areas of varying depths. Anvils, pliers, and quenching tanks are scattered among them, with mottled metal residues condensed on the edges.

The walls were covered with tools of various shapes. A half-human-high double-headed warhammer hung under an iron chain, with dark red rust remaining on the hammer head. A serrated split-blade short axe was inserted diagonally into a wooden stake, with a faint blue cold light glowing from the blade edge. Bundles of rivets and bolts were nailed to the wooden board like fangs, and next to them were a few pairs of heat-insulating gloves that seemed to be made of dragon skin, with the edges having been burned to curl and become brittle.

The scattered charcoal and ore piled up into a small hill beside the forging table, and several unfinished daggers were inserted into the charred wooden block, with the blades still glowing dark red with residual warmth.

Li Si looked at the forging room and felt a little emotional.

He could see that this place had once been busy, but now it looked like it hadn't been used for a while, and a thin layer of dust appeared on many of the tools.

Tom patted Li Si's shoulder twice, making "bang" sounds.

He smiled and said:

"This is my forging room, but I'm old now and my strength is a little lacking, so I haven't been here for a while. Before, I was just making some small things outside."

"Compared to the forging area in front of us, the tools here are more comprehensive and should be easier for you to use."

"For example, this volcanic furnace. The workshop will always maintain the temperature of this furnace, so you can forge anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the strength of this furnace is enough to support the forging of legendary equipment."

"I see."

Li Si nodded and looked at Tom, waiting for the other party's follow-up request.

Noticing Li Si's gaze, Tom said with a smile:

"The requirements for joining the Hammer Workshop are simple. You just need to create a weapon of sufficient weight."

"You can create whatever you want, I only look at the final result."

"Ok."

Li Si nodded, without saying anything more, he went straight to the furnace to feel the temperature, and prepared to start working.

Tom looked at Nitil beside him and said with a smile:

"Little Nitil, you should go out first. You can't stand the temperature here for too long."

"Reese wants to create a piece of equipment, but it's not something that can be completed in a short time."

"Got it, Grandpa Tom."

Nitil wiped the sweat from her forehead and said obediently.

He looked at Li Si again, then turned and left the forging room.

She knew very well that the several forging rooms in this area were specially prepared by the Hammer Workshop for the forging masters, and the forging conditions were quite strict.

Most people can't stay in the room at all.

But noticing that Li Si's expression did not change at all, Nitier suddenly became more convinced of her previous guess.

Not long after, the sound of hammers hitting each other was heard in the forge room, and Tomn walked out with a smile on his face, closing the door.

As soon as the expert takes action, he will know if there is any!

Just by taking a look at Li Si's technique, Tom knew that his previous guess was correct.

Although some areas are still a bit immature and awkward, as long as you reach this level, the rest can be improved quickly even with time.

"The great and noble Moradin, are you sending me such a good disciple because I am old?"

Tom left with a satisfied look on his face and a smile on his face.

Within a few days, news spread that a new forging master had arrived at the Hammer Workshop.

But the dwarf craftsmen in the workshop were quite curious about this news.

Even in the Dwarf Kingdom, the Forge Master is the most respected being.

Everyone was very curious about how a forging master suddenly appeared, as they had never heard of any related news before.

Of course, the accuracy of this news is very high.

For some reason, Master Tom, who used to curse people every day, seemed to be in a good mood these days. Even when he saw other craftsmen or apprentices making mistakes, he did not directly attack them, but patiently pointed out where they made mistakes.

God!

When had the people at Hammer Workshop ever seen Tomn like this?

There is also the goddess of the workshop, Netil, who stays around Tomn's forging room every day, bringing him food, water, and materials, and doing anything for him.

As a result, many craftsmen's apprentices who liked Nitil were secretly sad, and ran to the tavern to drink to relieve their sorrow after work.

How could anyone except a master forger make such a big fuss?

But Reese didn't care about the commotion he caused outside, and stayed in the forge wholeheartedly to forge his work.

At this moment, Reese was concentrating on taking a piece of red-hot iron out of the furnace, placing it on the forging table and starting to clang it.

It can be vaguely seen that what Li Si forged was a long sword.

In the corners around the forging room, there were already many finished long swords placed there casually.

From the cold light flashing and the sharp blades of those long swords, it can be seen that these are rare good works, but they have been abandoned and thrown aside at random.

Because none of these swords reached Li Si's goal, they were only at the gold level.

If other people heard this, even the dwarf craftsman would criticize this person for being too Versailles.

But for Li Si, it was indeed not enough.

His goal is to successfully forge a legendary sword!
After Li Si tried many times, Tom realized what Li Si wanted to do.

Tom is quite supportive of this.

Not only did he provide Li Si with experience-based guidance, he also used his contribution to exchange for a considerable amount of precious materials from the workshop for Li Si.

snort~
The sound of quenching can be heard in the forging room.
hum~
The grinding sound became deeper along with the breathing sound.
hiss~
The sound of magic engraving indicates that success is coming.
Just as Li Si completed the last stroke of the magic pattern circuit on the long sword, powerful magic power instantly rushed into the long sword from the fire attribute gem on the hilt.

The fiery red magic circuit instantly spread throughout the entire sword, emitting extremely powerful fluctuations.

Then all the magic patterns seemed to sink into the sword and disappeared, leaving only the cold sword blade and the flickering fiery red gem.

Li Si picked up the sword and held it in his hand. A powerful and sharp aura instantly burst out from the sword and echoed in the forging room.

The legendary long sword was forged successfully!
