"Hoo ho!"
As the bellows pulled, flames rolled in the huge furnace, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Several burly men were naked from the waist down, each holding a sledgehammer and beating the chopping board until sparks flew everywhere.
This is a blacksmith shop in Storm City. It’s not too big, but it’s famous. The owner of the blacksmith shop, Hammer Damm, is the leading blacksmith in Storm City. Even some of the weapons and equipment needed by Storm City’s army are here. which provided.
Therefore, the most indispensable thing here is iron ingots and blacksmith apprentices.
After all, in this difficult and dangerous world, being able to become a blacksmith is something that all the people at the bottom can envy.
For example, today there is a poor boy of eighteen or nineteen years old who is very cautious and curious. His family has high hopes for him and he is sent here. After paying a certain amount of copper, he officially becomes an apprentice here. In the next ten years, everything about him, including his life, will change. They will all belong here.
"You are a very strong young man. You are responsible for filling the stove with coal in the morning and blowing the bellows in the afternoon. I will teach you how to swing the hammer in a few days."
Hammer Dem was very satisfied. Look at the muscles of this young man. Unlike other newly delivered bean sprouts, they need to be cultivated slowly.
"Okay boss."
The young man was very polite, and he smiled honestly, revealing a row of yellowish and black teeth. For a low-class person, a row of small white teeth would make people suspicious.
The new blacksmith apprentice was naturally flamboyant.
In the past five days, he first accumulated another 50 portions of dry food for himself, and then conducted careful reconnaissance as a beggar, farmer, hawker, and mercenary.
Not only did he spy on the people like Robin the Broken Leg, but he also learned in detail about the people's livelihood and customs of Storm City, its past history, the current composition of forces, and so on.
In the end, he rescued a family of free people, hired them to pretend to be parents for 20 copper coins, and sent him to Hammerdam's blacksmith shop.
There are two reasons for coming here.
One is that after several days of lurking preparations, Robin and his gang are currently settling here.
And it must be mentioned that the guy was simply too cautious.
After coming back, I sold my property in the wealthy area in the north of the city, and then bought a large residential area in the south of the city near the slums and commercial areas. There are a large number of poor people, beggars, gangsters, underground gangs, various mercenaries, and caravans. Taverns abound here, making it easy not only to attract believers but also to inquire about information.
But as far as Zhang Yang could see, Robin Broken Leg had no plans to expand his followers after his return, nor did he establish a church of the gods through the throne to absorb the prayers of former believers of the gods.
Because this kind of seemingly empty and safe prayer communication can be easily intercepted and deciphered by ghosts, and when it is discovered, it will be all over.
Therefore, the safest method is one-to-one, face-to-face, and peer-to-peer training.
Robin Broken Leg did these points very well, especially since he was a noble from Storm City and loved so many gods. As long as he was careful, he wouldn't have to worry about the source of his followers.
Even Zhang Yang suspected that Robin Broken Leg was trying to practice a militarized and secretive belief in the gods, and would never give the ghosts who hunted the gods a chance.
The second reason is that Zhang Yang needs to get the second red bead. For this, there is no more suitable place than the blacksmith shop. In addition, he also needs to build some special sniper weapons for himself.
For the next three days, Zhang Yang worked hard. It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that he found a suitable opportunity.
Hammer Dem was out because he had just made a batch of weapons and needed to send them to the city lord's mansion for delivery.
Since a big order had just been completed, the other blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop also needed to relax, so they either went home early or went to the tavern for a big drink.
What remains is Karl, a senior blacksmith apprentice. He has been working at Hammerdam for eight years and has mastered various forging skills, so this afternoon is also an opportunity for him.
"Jack, fill the furnace with coal and make sure the furnace temperature is normal. If you've done a good job, I might teach you a few forging tips."
Senior blacksmith apprentice Karl shouted, and then he excitedly led several other blacksmith apprentices to collect the remaining scraps in the shop to develop proficiency in their own forging.
Zhang Yang would certainly not refuse such a rare opportunity.
Because in the past, whether it was burning coal or pulling the bellows, a few apprentices were responsible for it. There were many people and many eyes. Moreover, Hammer Dam and several other blacksmiths were experienced. If the flame in the furnace changed slightly, they would know what was going on. Things can't be hidden at all.
But now it's completely different if it's the inexperienced Karl.
Zhang Yang trotted up and filled the furnace with the maximum amount of coal as quickly as possible. In fact, the scraps Karl and the others wanted to melt didn't need so much coal, but they were immersed in the joy of being able to forge by themselves at the moment. How could they pay attention?
Then Zhang Yang started to turn on the bellows and ate a portion of dry food at the same time, building a second closed circuit circle to quietly absorb a large amount of surrounding air, allowing the coal in the furnace to fully and quickly burn.
In just ten seconds, the temperature rose. Zhang Yang immediately took control, otherwise the stove would have burned down if he had not waited a few more seconds.
After glancing at Karl and others who knew nothing, Zhang Yang threw the second bead in.
At the same time, he immediately replenished three portions of dry food and controlled it with great caution. The reason for this was because the bead was dropped by the paper man named Hee Hee, who was responsible for calling for help and issuing alarms.
So there might be something hidden in its storage orb.
For this reason, even if you consume a few more servings of dry food, it is worth it.
"I need to build at least a triple curve force field, and the core temperature must be above 3,000 degrees to be safe."
Zhang Yang thought about it while quickly arranging it. Now he used mana instead of the soul force field, so it was easier to build the mana structure, the effect was better, and he could control it more precisely.
The first level of curved force field was quickly completed, forming an independent fireball space in the furnace.
Zhang Yang controlled it steadily and built a second curved force field in the furnace. This curved force field is actually independent, because the two curved force fields are simply incompatible. They will either collapse at the same time, or one will devour the other. .
He doesn't yet have the ability to make them compatible with each other.
So his so-called triple curve force field is to arrange three in different spaces, two are on standby, and one is in operation, waiting in line.
In this way, even if something escapes from the first curved force field, he can activate the second curved force field as quickly as possible to intercept the target.
One minute later, the three curved force fields were constructed respectively. This was the limit that Zhang Yang could control. For this, he had to pay the price of consuming 3 servings of dry food every minute.
"Warm it up!"
The three curved force fields started to operate separately. After they all reached a high temperature of 1000 degrees, the latter two curved force fields entered the standby state. However, this was not a standby with reduced energy, but required an immediate double energy consumption to stabilize the standby. , otherwise, these two curved force fields will conflict with the first curved force field, and eventually the three will perish together.
As for the first curved force field, it continues to heat up. A small part of the flame inside comes from this furnace, and a larger part directly burns mana. This is to reduce the effect of the force field that engulfs the outside world.
The energy efficiency ratio of burning mana is the best. In just ten seconds, the temperature of the flames in the first level curved force field soared to more than 2000 degrees. The bead in it had begun to deform weakly and was about to melt. .
Zhang Yang used his soul force field to watch every second, not missing every subtle change. At this time, it was too late to observe with the naked eye, because the reaction changes inside took place in milliseconds.
"This is the moment!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yang suddenly activated the second curved force field and simultaneously controlled it to merge with the first curved force field.
This is a very dangerous behavior and a mistake. He won't even leave any bones or residue behind. Even if he invests all the dry food, he can't stop it.
But Zhang Yang was sure that there was some stronger power hidden in the storage orb, so this seemingly extremely dangerous behavior was the safest behavior.
The instant fusion of two curved force fields may not be as good as the collision of two black holes, but it can definitely cause a small-scale space collapse and a subsequent super big explosion.
Yes, it collapsed.
The two curved force fields collapsed directly, and formed a terrifying suction force that made Zhang Yang tremble. If it could not be stopped, the entire Storm City would be turned into powder at this moment.
But at the same time, the storage orb was also melted by the high temperature, and a strange wave came out, extremely majestic, extremely domineering, and extremely terrifying!
"Who is this monster? How brave!"
Zhang Yang only heard this sentence through the soul force field, and then he felt like a little ant about to be stepped down by a giant elephant. The trembling feeling coming from the depths of his soul was simply indescribable.
If it lasted just a moment longer, he might be frightened into a psychotic state or a vegetative state.
But as soon as this terrifying coercion appeared, it formed a perfect effect of positive and negative, contraction and contraction with the collapse of the two curved force fields.
Who knows what is hidden in the storage orb, but apart from Zhang Yang, Karl and others who are a few meters away don't even feel anything.
Little did he know that a crisis that could destroy Storm City had just passed by.
The smoke cleared.
The fatal collapsing contraction force is neutralized.
The terrifying power in the orb was annihilated as soon as it emerged.
All the best and good luck opening the door.
Zhang Yang lightly enveloped the third curved force field and landed perfectly.
receive!
It will be stable next.
Zhang Yang burned most of the supplies in the storage orb, leaving only twelve items that seemed to be the safest.
Among them are five weapons with residual divinity. A total of 34 units of divinity were harvested, and the fanaticism value was 1290 points.
The three blue stones should be some kind of material.
Two pieces of fist-sized, black steel with dragon scale texture on them.
A piece of jade that exudes faint soul fluctuations.
Finally, there is a strange stone tablet, which is engraved with various patterns and words.
The items in this storage orb are much better than the previous one.
But that's not all, because most of the supplies were burned, and in the end Zhang Yang also obtained 500 units of blue molten steel, which was a bit troublesome to deal with.
In the end, he consumed five portions of dry food and directly melted this special blue molten steel into several weapons.
A short sword, an arm shield, a steel crossbow, 60 crossbow arrows, and several expected bed crossbow parts.
At this point, great things can be expected.
