Chapter 46 The Anvil
The first of the two daggers made by Ge Xiaohua was a little simpler. Ge Xiaohua gave them to his father Ge Jianguo. As a blacksmith, he knew very well how difficult the craftsmanship of this dagger was. The quality of the materials was excellent, and it was still very valuable for collection. It was practical and had a simple shape, which was in line with his aesthetic taste. When he got this dagger, Ge Jianguo was still very excited, but he remained calm. When Ge Xiaohua left, he took out the dagger and read it.
"What is the dagger of Chuxin foretelling?" Ge Xiaohua named this dagger Chuxin, which shows his love for the first dagger made. Giving this commemorative dagger to his father shows his respect for his father, which also shows how much his achievements have reached after taking over the Ge blacksmith shop during this period.
Another one was given to Li Xiaogan. As a close friend, Li Xiaogan gave great help. He saw all these. Although they were all dull daggers, these daggers were of great commemorative value for just learning to build weapons.
"Friendship Dagger?" Li Xiaogan received the dagger and learned the name. He almost wanted to cry, but he resisted it. Such brotherhood is still rare. Moreover, the name of this dagger is not only profound, but also avant-garde and extremely sharp. He had long wanted to buy a saber, which could be used in the wild. Now that he has a friendship dagger, he saves the idea of buying a saber. It is not only saving money, but also worthy of Ge Xiaohua's great importance to this friendship.
The gift is light and affection is heavy. The dagger created by Ge Xiaohua is given away. He is studying to build a long sword in the blacksmith shop. The last time the copycat sword made Ge Xiaohua a little uncomfortable. This time he wants to create an original one.
The sword is the king of hundreds of soldiers. As a king, it is a little more difficult to build than other types. Although the Yuanhong Sword was first released at the beginning, it failed many times. Moreover, even if it is in good condition, the accompanying light attribute effect is not very good. Self-confidence +2 is extremely useless and is not very useful to Ge Xiaohua. This is used to give Li Xiaogan as a favor, not to mention that he also paid 30,000 yuan. It can be seen that even if he doesn't think he is not very good, he failed many times before he succeeded. The original long sword is even more difficult. Fortunately, with the experience of successfully creating original daggers and long swords, Ge Xiaohua figured out his own way of making it.
"Failed, the temperature of the quenching is not controlled well, it is too soft." Ge Xiaohua looked at the state of the sword body and could judge the failure of creation. He didn't care much about it. He summed up his experience and continued to build. The day passed quickly. Ge Xiaohua didn't know how many long swords he forged, and each one was improved, but it was always unsatisfactory, or it did not meet his requirements.
"Woom!" Jin Lun, who was squatting at the door, barking loudly.
"Jin Lun, I know it's too late. It's time to have a meal, but if I don't shoot a qualified long sword, I can't eat." At night, Jin Lun would scream, like an alarm clock, but Ge Xiaohua was like this. If he did anything seriously, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep.
"Don't bite my trouser legs!" Ge Xiaohua roared. Jin Lun was frightened and looked at him with grievance. Ge Xiaohua, who calmed down, took off his work clothes, turned off the fire, and then tidied it down the studio. Then he walked out of the yard, squatted down and touched Jin Lun, who was trembling in the doghouse.
"I'm sorry, Jin Lun, I was too impulsive just now. I apologized to you. I shouldn't yell at you." Ge Xiaohua apologized sincerely. Jin Lun seemed to be able to understand and let out a whimpering cry.
"Okay, okay, I won't curse you anymore. I'll get you dog food. I know you're hungry." Ge Xiaohua went to the kitchen to get the dog food. Jin Lun didn't eat it, but stared at Ge Xiaohua.
"Did you ask me to go to have a meal too?" Ge Xiaohua understood. Jin Lu shouted and reminded that he was not that he was hungry, but instead asked Ge Xiaohua to go to have a meal and rest.
After understanding the meaning of Jinlun, Ge Xiaohua was still very moved. After thinking about it, he shouldn't do this. His body is the capital of revolution. He should stop when he eats, not to mention that he has not eaten for a day, so it doesn't make sense to continue working.
"Okay, Jinlun, I know I was wrong." Ge Xiaohua continued to admit his mistake, went to the stable, added grass and clear water to the meteor, and went to cook. After dinner, Ge Xiaohua did not rush to build it. He had enough rest. He continued to make an iron the next day. Creating a good sword is not a short time to complete. It takes a process. Ge Xiaohua is not a beginner now, has relatively strong iron-striking skills, and understands that a good sword is hard-earned.
In one morning, Ge Xiaohua built three long swords, and they were declared failure by him for different reasons and threw them into the garbage dump. Just as a calligrapher threw away the words he felt were unsatisfactory, Ge Xiaohua was unwilling to let his failed products flow into the market.
"There is no iron, the refined iron extracted has been used up in the past few days, and there is a lot of scrap iron." Seeing this situation, Ge Xiaohua no longer built a long sword. It would be useless to fight like this without a touch.
"The anvil is a bit bad. It's too concave. It's good to use the wasteful fine iron to make an anvil." Ge Xiaohua wanted to use the waste and used the fine iron that failed in the past few days to make an anvil. The half-human-high anvil consumes very high iron. Although it is wasteful fine iron, it is better than ordinary pig iron. It is not a waste to use it to make an anvil.
Ge Xiaohua held his own idea and had lunch. He built an anvil in one afternoon. As a tool that often requires traffic, anvil is the standard for blacksmiths. The iron tools he created are basically shaped on the anvil. After years of knocking, it is normal for the old antique anvil to appear sunken. In the past, because the task of slashing iron was heavy, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Now he is idle and his cooperation with the hardware store has terminated. Ge Xiaohua is basically in a retreat state to practice. When creating weapons, he has greater requirements for tools. In order not to waste fine iron, he created an anvil.
"Congratulations on successfully creating a green-light anvil, solid +5, blacksmith's heart +6."
"Congratulations on getting 10 points ingenuity."
Ge Xiaohua was very excited when he received a long-lost reminder, but he was not sure what the Blacksmith's Heart bonus meant.
"System, what is the heart of a blacksmith?"
"Increase the probability that the host will successfully create the best iron tool. The higher the blacksmith's heart, the stronger the host will be when creating the iron tool."
Ge Xiaohua learned about this situation and understood the true meaning of the blacksmith's heart. This is the moment when the inspiration bursts he has been pursuing. The radiant iron tool he created can increase in this aspect. The strong attribute bonus makes the anvil made of fine iron stronger. Even if you use an air hammer and hit it for a full horsepower, it will be fine for a day. However, if you use a hydraulic press, you will definitely not be able to withstand it. At least +30 is required to increase the strength to reach an epic or above.
