Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 197 Sword Forging
The next morning.

Xia He, who was preparing tools for making fire, looked at the pair of straw sandals handed to him by Minian, blinked, and asked, "What is this?"

"I helped you weave it last night. I noticed that you usually go out barefoot."

"Oh……"

Xia He nodded, then reached out to take the shoes and compared them with his feet.

Yeah, they're about the same size.

After he put them on, he paced back and forth for a few times and found that they really fit his feet well, so he asked curiously, "Do you have this skill?"

"Well, my father taught me. I can make clothes and shoes. My future dream is to open a clothing store in town."

When Minian said this, there was a hint of longing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xia He gave a thumbs up and responded calmly: "You will definitely succeed in the future."

"I hope so..."

Minnian sighed.

It’s not certain whether we can leave here now. What if we are really trapped on this uninhabited island... let alone the clothing store, my parents will definitely be very worried, right?

Thinking of this, her mood began to become depressed again.

However, Xia He did not notice this and continued to light the fire in the stove.

The stove and hammer were all collected by Xia He from the shipwreck at that time.

In addition, sandpaper and whetstones are all natural materials he found in the forest - animal skins and quartz.

Start a fire and add wood and hay until the fire is at its highest.

The meteorite is then placed in a furnace to begin smelting iron and removing impurities.

About an hour later, he picked up the hammer, stood on a protruding rock, and smashed the meteorite with all his strength.

Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Rhythmic tapping sounds began to sound.

Minian, who was watching this scene not far away, held her cheeks with both hands, still feeling amazed.

There is no way, because the scene is too bizarre.

You know, the iron hammer is almost as tall as Xia He. It’s such a big hammer... How can this little kid swing it?

After a while.

Seeing Xia He suddenly stopped, Minian quickly came forward and asked, "Are you okay? Are you exhausted?"

"A bit..."

Xia He jumped off the rock, took off his mink coat, revealing his upper body. The snow-white skin that only a baby could have was immediately exposed to the cold weather.

However, he did not feel cold at all. Instead, his whole body was covered with sweat due to the intense exercise just now.

"Hu~~"

Is it still a bit too forced?
Right……

This body is only this big. Even if the strength exceeds 30 points and reaches the standard of an adult male in the previous life, it is still difficult to display it with this height and physique.

Fortunately, he had the talent of [Sit-up Physique], so he only needed to rest for a while and then he could recover to his peak condition immediately, so there was no need to worry.

But just as his butt touched the ground.

"Let me do it!"

Minian came over again and took the hammer from Xia He.

"How do I knock?" she asked.

"Can you do it?" Xia He blinked and looked at her.

He actually noticed that when Minnie Ann got up in the morning, she whispered that her arms were sore.

There is no need to guess, it must have been caused by knocking on the ore yesterday afternoon.

"Just tell me what to do. I can do it." Minian said seriously.

"That's okay..."

Seeing that Minian was so "enthusiastic", Xia He naturally couldn't refuse, so he stood up from the ground again and began to guide her step by step.

It must be said that Minian is indeed very strong, as evidenced by the fact that she was able to knock off a whole piece of meteorite in such a short time yesterday.

"Flatten this side a little more..."

“That’s a little crooked.”

"Yeah, very good."

"Well, now it's time to quench it."

It's sizzling!

The red-hot iron sheet is immersed in water to cool it down quickly, and then tempered.

After the "blade" turns red again, set it aside and let it cool naturally to increase the flexibility of the weapon.

"Is this all right?" Minnie asked breathlessly.

Even though her strength was amazing, she was now out of breath. This showed how tiring iron forging was.

"It's still early. After it cools down completely, it needs to be polished." Xia He shook his head and said.

First use coarse stone for rough grinding, then use fine stone for fine grinding...

But at the moment, he did not have good enough conditions, so he could only use the natural quartz he had found before and polish it roughly a few times.

Anyway, this knife is used to kill the sea beast. After the "novice mission" is over, Xia He might treat it as scrap metal and throw it into the sea.

"So it's over?"

Minian swallowed her saliva and was about to lie on the ground to rest, but Xia He immediately said, "Very good, this knife is forged very well. It seems that you are very talented. Come on, let's start the second one right away."

Minian: “?”

"Still...still coming?"

She subconsciously twitched the corner of her mouth.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Xia He raised his head, blinked his "innocent" big eyes, and looked at Minian.

Minnie Ann: “.”

"No, I still have the strength to continue."

She immediately picked up the hammer and went back to the stove.

For no other reason, just because Xia He said that he forged the sword in order to kill the sea monster.

In order to return home as soon as possible, she would do her best without hesitation.

"Try hard, girl." Xia He stood behind Minian with great satisfaction, stroking his non-existent beard, and promised her like an old man: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you away from this island."

……

Deep in the forest.

Xia He stood in front of a moose, holding two 1.2-meter-long swords.

next moment.

When the moose rushed towards him, Xia He dodged suddenly, then raised his two swords and slashed forward quickly.

bass!
The blade enters the flesh.

Accompanied by a wail.

When the moose fell to its knees and turned into a corpse, Minian, who was standing in the distance and watching, subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

"There's no way he's only half a year old!"

She screamed inwardly.

at the same time.

"Ow~~~"

Little Gray, Little White, Little Black.

The three little wolves jumped out of the bushes happily and ran towards the moose's body.
