"Okay." After hearing Lu Li's response, Hephaestus left.

However, the other blacksmiths around couldn't help but talk about it when they saw Hephaestus personally calling Lu Li.

Lu Li greeted other blacksmiths and didn't mind building some interpersonal relationships.

However, one's own affairs are the most important, and maintaining interpersonal relationships can only be regarded as a by-product.

The Hephaestus family has a good atmosphere, and so do the other blacksmiths.

There is basically no seniority or exclusion of companions. All status is determined by the level of forging skills.

After dinner, Lu Li went to Hephaestus's workshop.

After knocking on the door and coming in, Lu Li saw Hephaestus sitting at the table, seemingly thinking about something.

"Now that you are here, let's officially start teaching."

Hephaestus called Lu Li and after he walked in, she began to teach him the basics of forging.

While he started forging, he showed Lu Li the whole process and gave detailed instructions throughout the process.

"Magic creation? Focus on magic."

The magic with already established rules is activated.

Lu Li's concentration was completely focused, and all color had been lost from his eyes, leaving only Hephaestus's movements and words.

In the future, all the monsters and magic created by Lu Li will comply with the rules.

Of course, if you go to a dungeon and need to improvise, that’s another matter.

“What a high level of concentration.”

During Hephaestus's instruction, he also felt the fluctuations of magic.

He glanced at Lu Li and immediately understood his current state.

Hephaestus' explanation was so comprehensive that Lu Li absorbed the information like a sponge, and her explanation speed could not keep up with Lu Li's learning speed.

It took Hephaestus several hours to finish explaining the basic knowledge and the properties of basic materials.

And complete the whole process to create a dagger.

Sensing the breath of magic, Hephaestus said, "You come and try it."

"Yes."

In a state of complete concentration, Lu Li seemed somewhat emotionless.

Material selection, cutting, heating, and most importantly, forging deformation.

This is followed by post-processing such as annealing and quenching.

This is the basic process. The most important thing is the strength and precision during forging, which requires perfect timing, and these are very dependent on talent and experience.

As for some special forging techniques, they need to be explained later.

For a blacksmith, the most important thing to learn forging well is to practice more.

However, Hephaestus did not have high expectations for Lu Li, as long as he could do it.

Lu Li forged a weapon quickly. Although the details were not well handled, the quality was good at least.

"good."

Hephaestus took a look and asked, "Do you want to continue?"

"Warcraft creation? Illusion butterfly."

Lu Li recited the chant and summoned colorful butterflies, "Status reversal."

With a flash of light, Lu Li's condition returned to normal. At the same time, he took out a bottle of recovery potion and drank it in two gulps.

"continue."

Lu Li spoke up.

Hephaestus nodded slightly and began to explain the forging techniques in detail.

If you need to get hands-on, don't hesitate to take action.

Since last night, she was both excited about Lu Li's appearance and had prepared teaching materials in advance so that she could explain them in an orderly manner.

The day ended quickly. Hephaestus didn't even have lunch, and her throat was a little hoarse after the whole day.

Material identification, basic forging, extension techniques, magic sword forging, principles of magic items, and even more evil cursed weapons were all stuffed into Lu Li's head.

The magic sword can trigger elemental attacks, but the number is limited, usually 1 to 5 times, which is equivalent to a one-time magic scroll.

It consumes the power of the magic sword itself, and it will break into pieces when it is used up.

Cursed weapons are "special weapons" infused with "curses" and are completely anti-human weapons.

It can inflict the "Incurable Curse" that makes wounds untreatable, the "Blood Curse" that causes flesh to rot, the "Chaos Curse" that drives people crazy, and so on.

For some reason, Hephaestus had great trust in him and unknowingly gave all these things to Lu Li.

Even though Lu Li was only Lv1 and had no development ability, she had no doubt that Lu Li had the ability to complete the forging.

"The magic sword is fine, but the cursed tool is just to let you know that there is such a thing. Even if you forge it, don't circulate it to the market."

After explaining the basic skills of the underworld, Hephaestus couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

I have really lost my mind. Why am I teaching everything?

"Thank you very much. I will not manufacture cursed tools easily, and I will not allow them to enter the market."

Lu Li stretched, his face revealing a sense of fatigue.

Although he had the magic of reversing his status, his mental state was somewhat unbalanced due to his mental exhaustion and the large amount of knowledge pouring into his mind.

"We are almost done with the forging part. After you have digested all this, I will talk to you about the forging concept and the future of the forging world."

Hephaestus also stretched, unable to hide her tiredness, "By the way, what do you want to learn tomorrow?"

"The common language of the continent, the magic text, and the sacred text."

Lu Li uttered three words.

The common language of the continent is for communication, the magic text is for magic, and the sacred text is for the future.

The function of the continent's common language is similar to English, and when combined with mathematics it becomes magic text.

Magical tools, indestructible magic swords, infinitive magic books, various secret rituals...all of these require magic words as carriers to form rituals.

Volume 1: Chapter 7 The Miracle Child

The divine grace bestowed upon the followers by the gods is a ritual composed of sacred words.

That is to say, sacred texts are both a medium for communication among the gods and a carrier of rituals.

In comparison, both magical writing and the common language of the continent originated from sacred writing, but the sacred writing was simplified because it was too complicated.

To be more precise, it was a degradation. Not only did the originally integrated sacred texts become divided into two functions, language and ritual, but it also reduced its performance.

"Okay, but can you learn it?"

Hephaestus questioned.

"That's fine, but we can't be as tense as we were today."

Lu Li said.

Now his mental state is a little unbalanced. The recollection of Huandie does not involve psychology, and the mind is also Lu Li's bottom line and he will not interfere easily.

"I can't be with you all day, so starting tomorrow, teaching will only be in the morning."

Hephaestus smiled as well.

Because Lu Li was too diligent and studious, she entered the state unknowingly.

Not only is it too tight, but the bottom is also exposed.

Fortunately, she was not that outrageous and taught Lu Li some forging knowledge that was not available in the lower realm, such as the Indestructible Demon Sword.

The Indestructible Demon Sword was not difficult for Lu Li. What really concerned him was the forging of the divine weapon.

Once you become stronger and all the conditions for divine weapons are met, you can forge a "divine weapon" in the true sense.

Without instruction, it is very difficult to figure out how to forge a divine weapon, and the core is the ritual of the sacred text.

But that will be in the future, and it is not an area that can be involved in a short period of time.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye - although he did not go to the dungeon, Lu Li's magic attribute grew significantly.

Strength: i21

Stamina: i25

Dexterity: i11

Agility: i8

Magic: H184

The other attributes didn't grow much, they were basically just a byproduct of magic experiments, only the magic power increased very quickly.

Unfortunately, he is a modern loser and his growth rate is really not high, probably because he is limited by his physical abilities.

Even though the physical structure is not much different from that of people in this world, the slight difference determines the difference in "talent".

If it weren't for the magic, I would have become a waste.

"It's almost ready."

Lu Li murmured.

It took him half a month to complete the preliminary preparations for entering the dungeon.

Three combat skills, three life-saving trump cards, and three auxiliary functions, a total of nine skills to ensure absolute safety.

In terms of research consumption, Lu Li did not manufacture ordinary weapons in large quantities. Instead, he used "projection magic" to project Hephaestus to help him forge several magic swords of ordinary quality.

A magic sword could be sold for millions of fares. After selling it, the recovery potion that was previously borrowed was repaid and enough funds for activities were obtained.

Later, Lu Li created the "charging magic beast", which usually stayed underground to absorb magic elements from the earth veins. When needed, it would crawl out and use magic to directly recharge, thus saving money on recovery potions.

As for projection magic, it is essentially just a convenience and has many limitations.

First of all, there must be a real prototype, and it must be a person you have had close contact with.

The deeper the understanding, the more complete the projection will be, and you yourself need to have some understanding of forging.

In other words, the prerequisite is that the user's Lu Li understands forging, in order to allow the projected character to forge weapons.

It’s easy to use, but not out of the ordinary, and it’s only natural that there are limitations.

Lu Li’s main focus was to become stronger, so he didn’t put in too much effort.

"How cautious are you?"

Having just renewed the favor for Lu Li, Hephaestus could not help but complain.

She had already seen Lu Li's preparations during this period, which could only be described as insane.

"It's always a good idea to be more cautious."

Lu Li put on his clothes and smiled, "The basic condition for becoming stronger is to ensure your own safety. Adventurers cannot take risks blindly - this is the law of survival."

To become a strong person, it is impossible to take no risks at all, but you cannot be blind either.

Since Lu Li had the conditions, he made preliminary preparations first, and then entered the dungeon after he was fully prepared, so that his safety and gains could be maximized.

After all, he is not a blank slate and does not need to work as hard as other adventurers.

For Lu Li, entering the dungeon is not a necessity for growth, but it is more efficient.

The reason why he created combat, life-saving, and auxiliary skills, and entered dungeon battles, was entirely Lu Li's interest.

He has a great curiosity and passion for dungeons.

He was somewhat impatient with Zhen living at home and becoming the Sword God of Shilipo.

"That's a good summary. Unfortunately, not all children are as cautious as you."

Hephaestus sighed and said, "When you do the same thing for the first time, you will be very excited, very agitated, and very cautious, but you will slowly lose your patience and caution."

Most adventurers died because they were not careful enough.
