From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 223 Forging Business

After completing the quenching, Lu Heng went to find Guru and showed him the two A-level weapons.

These two A-level weapons are naturally the Star Shield and Thunder Hammer obtained by killing Alex Austin.

The star shield had been split in half by the rift, but the thunder hammer was still intact.

"Master Guru, do you think these two A-level weapons can be used as materials for the triple forging of the Aurora Blade?"

When Guru heard that Lu Heng wanted to forge the Aurora Blade three times, he raised his eyebrows and replied, "Forging it three times will require it to be upgraded to S-level, which requires divine materials. This is very difficult."

In fact, he was not sure because he had never forged an S-level weapon.

The Dark Iron Dwarves once had very powerful forging skills, but after the advent of the abyss, the Dark Iron tribe migrated several times, and the tribe became increasingly weak. Although the forging skills were not lost, the deeds of forging S-class magic weapons have become historical legends of the Dark Iron tribe.

Lu Heng certainly knew how difficult it was to forge an S-level weapon. Now that the Aurora Blade had reached A-level, it would definitely have to reach S-level.

If you don’t succeed once, try a few more times.

"I understand. Isn't history meant to be created? If we can forge an S-level magic weapon, we might be able to regain the glory of the Black Iron Tribe."

When Guru heard this, he became excited and said with his fist clenched, "That's right, we want to regain the glory of the Black Iron Tribe and we must forge an S-level magic weapon.

"Come with me, let's find out how the ancestors of the Black Iron Tribe forged S-level magic weapons."

As he said this, he grabbed Lu Heng's arm and ran towards the library.

The Dark Iron Dwarves are very strong, otherwise they would not be able to swing such a heavy forging hammer.

Lu Heng was dragged by him and ran all the way into the library.

Guru dug out a pile of ancient books, some of which were even forged from iron sheets.

I don’t know what kind of technology was used, but it hasn’t rusted after being covered in dust for so long.

"Here are the materials needed to forge an S-class divine weapon..."

Guru looked at it and muttered: "This is too difficult. It actually requires the horn of a magic dragon as a material. I have never seen this kind of material before."

Lu Heng leaned over to take a look. If he wanted to forge an S-level weapon, it would not be enough to use only two A-level weapons as forging materials.

Because forging S-level weapons requires divine materials.

According to the records in the ancient books of the Black Iron Tribe, the Black Iron Tribe once forged an S-level magic weapon using the horn of a demon blood dragon as material.

Judging from the description, this Demon Blood Dragon is a sub-dragon species.

Even if it is just a sub-dragon, it is an extremely powerful existence.

The fact that the Dark Iron Dwarves were once able to deal with this kind of Demon-Blood Dragon shows how glorious they were in the past.

It is indeed extremely difficult to obtain the horn of a demon-blood dragon.

Guru continued to chant: "It would be best if we could use dragon blood to quench the forging. That way we can increase the success rate of forging."

Although quenching and forging are two sets of processes, they are not completely separate.

When forging weapons, in order to improve the success rate of forging, it is often necessary to quench the weapon in the final stage of forging to stabilize the grade of the weapon.

In fact.

After a weapon is forged, its level is not fixed at a certain value.

The current rank of Aurora Blade is A, but that does not mean that all A-rank weapons have the same attributes as Aurora Blade.

Because the attributes of weapon forging are arranged linearly, the attributes will be displayed at a certain level if they are within a certain level range.

Sometimes A-level weapons will have properties close to those of S-level weapons.

Usually, this type of weapon is called A+ or quasi-S-level by psychics.

However, these are spoken terms used by psychics and will not be displayed as such on the data panel.

On the weapon's data panel, A-level is A-level and S-level is S-level.

Because once an S-class weapon is forged, there is a chance that divine special effects will appear. This is the real reason why S-class weapons are called divine weapons.

In the final stage of forging, the quenching process is carried out to activate the divine material and inject divine effects into the weapon, so that a true S-level divine weapon can be forged.

……

Guru continued flipping through the ancient books of the Dark Iron Tribe and introduced: "There are many divine materials that can be used to forge weapons, such as dragon horns, holy objects from the abyss, and the heart of the demon king...these are all materials that are impossible to obtain."

After he finished reading the ancient book, he made a very pertinent evaluation.

According to ancient books, the materials used to forge S-level magic weapons are indeed ridiculously difficult to obtain.

After Lu Heng understood, he said, "It all depends on fate. If we have a chance to get it, we will try to forge it."

“Okay, as long as we get the divine materials, we must forge S-level divine weapons and take back the glory that belongs to the Black Iron Tribe.” Guru clenched his fists, his eyes full of motivation.

He decided, "From today on, I will practice forging skills. I will ask Xiao Linzi to come over and find me some more weapons to practice with."

Lu Heng swallowed and thought to himself that what you said was too direct.

Although it was indeed for training, the business was actually a commercial order. If I told the customer this, how could I do business?
However, these matters can be left to the Fire Emblem Club.

Originally, the club was responsible for the quenching business of the Quenching Fort, and now adding a forging business is not a big problem.

……

Before today, Guru had always been living a carefree life. He seldom did the quenching himself and just forged things as he pleased.

Lu Heng understood his mentality very well. After all, he was the only Dark Iron Dwarf left in Quenching Fort.

In his heart, he probably felt that the Dark Iron Dwarves had been wiped out.

As the last Dark Iron Dwarf, he had lost all his ambition and waited every day for the true end of his clan.

However, since he last met Tiebi, the leader of the Bansel tribe, and heard from Lu Heng that there were other Dark Iron Dwarves scattered in the abyss world, this gave him hope.

Sometimes, people live for a hope. Even if this hope is very slim and may never be achieved in a lifetime, as long as there is hope, there is motivation to live.

Guru is now very motivated and officially decides to start the forging business.

……

When Lin Zeyu heard that Master Guru was going to take over the forging business, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This would expand the Fire Emblem Club's business and provide another way to make money besides quenching.

Lin Zeyu immediately convened a meeting of the club's management, went to Guru in person, listened to the requirements of the forging business, and then discussed how to promote the business.

The forging business is only for cold weapons such as swords, and hot weapons cannot be forged and upgraded.

Because thermal weapons are another system.

Likewise, energy weapons cannot be forged and upgraded.

If Guru had started the forging business half a year ago, he would not have been able to receive many orders.

Because at that time, people with special abilities were keen on using firearms and other hot weapons.

When the source energy level is relatively low, a pistol can easily kill a mutant.

As the number of psychics who obtain the first-level job rank gradually increases, those who obtain the first-level job rank are able to use cold weapons to fight against pistols.

When the psychic has mastered the second-level job ability, he can use cold weapons to deal with rifles more easily.

It is now the end of October when the abyss has arrived, and those with special abilities are no longer so afraid of guns.

Especially for those with B-level skills, there are many ways to deal with firearms.

From this time on, the number of superpowers using cold weapons will gradually increase. In fact, it can be seen from the situation of the quenching business order.

In the quenching order we received half a year ago, nine out of ten weapons were firearms.

Now it's basically fifty-fifty.

As the number of psychics using cold weapons such as swords increases, the demand for forging naturally increases.

Therefore, it is just the right time for Guru to start the forging business in Quenching Castle.

Lin Zeyu arranged this matter, and the remaining practical operations were handled by the club's management.

……

As per Gollum's request, the Fire Emblem Club began to promote Quench Fort's forging business and demonstrated the effects of forging.

Weapon forging can directly improve the level of weapons.

This improvement is huge.

Especially some C-level weapons that have been upgraded through quenching. The weapon level is a bit low, but the quenching level is quite high.

At this time, you will encounter an embarrassing situation.

Since the basic level of the weapon is too low, continuing to temper it will require a large investment but will yield average returns.

Moreover, if you obtain high-level weapons in the future, all the quenching resources invested previously will be wasted.

Now that Quenching Fort has improved its forging business, weapons with low initial levels have the opportunity to be upgraded.

In fact, the secondary profession of blacksmith has already appeared among the psychics, but forging requires an entire forge room to carry out the work, and it cannot be done by a quenching furnace alone.

Therefore, even if there are apprentice blacksmiths among the psychics, it is basically difficult for them to complete the forging process independently.

So far, no force has been able to provide forging services.

The news that Quenching Fort had started taking on forging business caused another uproar.

With the two signs of Fire Emblem and Quenching Fort there, naturally no one would doubt the authenticity of the forging business.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the Fire Emblem Club received many forging appointments and inquiries.

However, the materials used in weapon forging are not fixed, and different materials need to be selected according to the characteristics of the weapon itself.

Therefore, in order to forge a weapon, Gollum needs to see the weapon first, and then consider what materials are needed.

For customers who want to forge, being able to see Guru in person is a great opportunity.

……

From this day on, the Fire Emblem Club officially began to accept forging orders.

There is only one spot available each day to enter the Quenching Castle and discuss the forging plan with the forging master Guru.

After Gollum looks at the weapon that needs to be forged, he will give the required forging materials and then let the customer find the materials himself.

When Lu Heng was forging and upgrading the Aurora Blade, Lin Zeyu was purchasing forging materials.

The news that Quenching Fort provided forging services spread, directly causing a surge in the price of forging materials on the market.

What once happened to the quenched material happened again to the forged material.

Lin Zeyu took the opportunity to make a fortune and woke up with a smile every night.

……

When the forging business was launched at Quenching Castle, causing a stir in the circle of psychics, Su Muyu used the space anchor to teleport to the Sykes world.

After coming back, he gave a storage device to Lu Heng.

"It's all done. I did as you said."

"Okay." Lu Heng put away the memory device and didn't talk about it anymore.

"Do you need help?" Su Muyu was a little worried because she had noticed that mysterious people appeared around Lu Heng.

The mysterious person she discovered was naturally 027, so she knew that Lu Heng had a secret.

It’s not that Lu Heng deliberately hid it from her, but it’s useless to tell her.

Moreover, she didn't know that the Creator Organization treated her better. After all, many secrets are inherently dangerous.

In the previous life, Su Muyu joined the Creator Organization first, and Lu Heng followed later.

In this life, Lu Heng is already a member of the Creator Organization, but Su Muyu does not know the existence of this organization.

Lu Heng thought about this matter and decided that it would be better not to let her get involved in this mess.

Regarding the Creator organization, its nature is difficult to define.

In Lu Heng's memory, this organization did not have any particularly bad behavior, but it was not a charity organization either.

To put it simply, the Creator Organization is a neutral force that acts for the organization's goals.

However, after his rebirth, Lu Heng had a bad impression of the Creator Organization after experiencing several missions of this organization.

First, he invited several targets, but they were all killed by Lu Heng.

Including Ida Masaaki who has already joined the organization, Lu Heng has killed three 029s in total.

However, there will be no more 029 in the future.

Because the Creator Organization will not reuse the same number.

The reason why there were three 029s before was because the first two had not yet officially joined the Creator.

Masaaki Ida officially joined and was given an official number.

That is to say, if the Creator wants to invite the next member, the number will be 030, and 029 will never appear again.

After returning from Fuso, Lu Heng has been waiting for 027 to appear.

Because Ida Masaaki was dead, even though his number was higher than his, he had killed a formal member of the organization after all, so this matter could not end like this.

Lu Heng waited for three days, but 027 did not show up.

I don't know whether the high-sequence members of the Creator Organization are discussing how to deal with this matter, or whether 027 is performing other tasks.

On the fourth night, Lu Heng finally met someone on the training ground.

A man suddenly appeared. He was wearing a cloak covered with black feathers and a hood, and his face could not be seen.

He looks somewhat similar to 027, but he doesn't have those iconic colorful eyes.

in fact.

Lu Heng had never seen 027's appearance, and he judged his identity based on his pair of colorful eyes.

The person who appeared now had eyes that were not colored, which meant that this person was not 027.

And this person's eyes exuded a dark aura.

"who are you?"

After Lu Heng looked at him for a moment, the Lord opened his mouth to ask.

The mysterious man replied in a voice as hoarse as a black crow: "Your new contact, you can call me 013."
