A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 72 Matching Up

Clang, clang, clang!

Inside a workshop in the basement of the alliance headquarters, the sound of hammering metal could be heard continuously.

Tony followed the sound into the workshop and saw Levi forging iron.

"Tsk, why are you working as a blacksmith?" Tony asked, watching Levi intently hammering away. "Could it be that equipment forged this way is better than industrially cast equipment?"

Even in the 21st century, many people still firmly believe that hand-forged tools are superior to industrially cast (non-crafts).

But for an industrial expert like Tony, it was clearly unbelievable.

"What do you know? I'm forging a magical weapon. You'll see soon enough," Levi replied, continuing his earnest forging without even glancing at Tony.

If he could, he would also like to choose industrial casting.

But the fact is that only hand forging can achieve the effect required by the forging skill, giving the forged items magical power... at least at this stage, it can only be achieved through hand forging.

As for the future...

Livy couldn't help but think of the Nidavellir dwarves' star forge.

"A magical weapon?" Tony looked interested upon hearing this.

He could always sense the unique charm of magic emanating from Li Wei.

From the earliest teleportation scrolls and magical food, to the Titan potions we drank before, and now to magical weapons.

The magical civilization called Kamar-Taj seems truly powerful…

(The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj: We are not, we did not!)

Yes, after witnessing the amazing effects of Peggy Carter drinking the Titan Elixir, Tony also drank it.

Of course, the keel is not needed.

Although taking the dragon bone and Titan potion together showed the unexpected effect of restoring youth.

But in terms of performance, this is the only additional effect.

Tony is now in his early thirties, the age when he is most energetic, so he doesn't need this kind of effect.

The same goes for Levi and Pepper—although the required materials were rare, Tony still managed to obtain a full thirty sets of them.

This number is already the limit that can be achieved at this stage. If there are any more, the underground lotus may become extinct—according to botanists, there are only about fifty plants left.

Therefore, the remaining twenty-odd plants have been strictly protected by the Stark Group, and attempts are being made to cultivate them.

All thirty materials obtained were turned into potions by Li Wei—in this respect, Li Wei felt he had to thank Glass Shard for not adding a "failure" setting to alchemy.

Levi and Tony each received ten bottles, and the remaining ten bottles were reserved for future use by those in the league who needed them—while the bottle Peggy Carter used was paid for by Tony.

After drinking the Titan Elixir, Tony truly felt the strength of his body and the abundance of his energy.

It was fortunate that he also gave Pepper the Titan Potion, otherwise Pepper would probably have been bedridden all day and would have been unable to handle the company's affairs.

There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that is ruined by plowing, provided that the oxen are normal oxen.

"Of course, would I need to go to such lengths for ordinary weapons?" Li Wei scoffed.

Titan Elixir not only helped Tony a lot, but it also benefited him greatly.

The biggest difference lies in the skill of forging.

Because this is a really tiring secondary skill.

Although the entire process was aided by the automatic operation of skills.

But that doesn't mean that Li Wei, as the user of the skill, won't get tired. The physical fatigue from swinging the hammer will still show up in his body.

This, besides materials, is another major factor limiting his ability to upgrade his forging skills.

However, after drinking the Titan Elixir, which completely altered his physical constitution, this limitation was completely removed.

With the massive mineral resources Tony acquired, his forging skills improved rapidly.

It has now reached 260 points.

The weapon he is currently forging is a well-known forged weapon of this level.

True Silver Holy Sword!

Normally, Li Wei could not forge this weapon.

The original True Silver Holy Sword required the magical material of wind essence, which could only be obtained from wind elemental creatures.

But perhaps because there are no elemental beings in the Marvel Universe, not only is the wind element required for the Truesilver Champion no longer needed, but all the elemental materials in other secondary profession products are also gone or have changed.

Otherwise, Li Wei's side job wouldn't have been so easy to achieve.

Soon, the forging in Li Wei's hands entered its final stage.

With the final quenching completed.

A rather shiny and cool longsword appeared in Tony's field of vision.

“What a beautiful longsword… So what special abilities does it have?” Tony asked, his eyes lighting up.

"Hehe, you'll know once you try it yourself!" Li Wei grinned.

"Not wearing the suit?" Tony raised an eyebrow.

“No, you can wear the battle suit!” Li Wei said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Tony was somewhat surprised that Levi would actually ask him to put on the battle suit.

...A few minutes later, at the training ground.

Tony fired a hand cannon at Levi, but it was blocked by a shield emanating a holy light from the longsword. Tony then understood where Levi's confidence came from.

"Is this the magical power of this pure silver longsword? Truly amazing!" Tony exclaimed. "Can it be used indefinitely?"

"No, that's not the case. Under normal circumstances, this shield can only be used once an hour. Each use requires an hour of charging. Of course, there is another situation: if the user has enough stamina, they can use it multiple times in a short period of time, but this will consume a lot of energy for the user!" Li Wei shook his head and explained.

Unlike the uncertain triggers in games, the triggers of the True Silver Holy Sword in reality are triggered according to the owner's will—that's right, just like equipment binding in games, this thing also needs to recognize its owner.

Moreover, it's not a confirmation box for binding in the game, but a proper DNA verification—well... actually, it's a blood oath.

Unlike in the game where the sword can only be used by the user after being bound to it, in this game, anyone other than the owner can still pick up the sword, but they cannot trigger its magical effects and can only use it as an ordinary sword.

It's not as outrageous as Thor's hammer, which under normal circumstances can only be lifted by its owner.

"It works very well, but it's not very useful for me!" Tony nodded in approval.

“But I think our Captain England lady will find it useful—you just gave her a shield, didn’t you? It’ll make a perfect pair!” Levi said.

Perhaps Tony thought that Peggy Carter looked a lot like Captain America after being enhanced, so he spent some time finishing the unfinished shield that his father left him (the one he used to pad the machine in Iron Man 2) and gave it to Carter.

He had just bought a batch of vibranium from Ulysses Klaue.

Now, with the addition of the true silver longsword forged by Levi, Peggy Carter, the British captain, does have a bit of a paladin feel to him.

Yes, it has a very British style.
