A month quickly passed. In this one month, everything about me had undergone earth-shattering changes. First, I learned the Dwarf Axe Technique. According to Grandpa Chief, I had completely mastered the Dwarf Axe Technique. Next, it was the proficiency and combat skills.
Regarding my learning ability, Grandpa Chief was very surprised. In his long life, he had never seen someone as smart as me.
I only smiled at Grandpa Chief's praise. Learning is what I'm best at. Otherwise, how do you think I got a double PhD at the age of ten? It's because of my super learning ability!
What I'm doing now is carefully observing the other blacksmith uncles and grandpas, observing how they apply their skills to forging.
After careful observation, I realized that forging isn't just about forging techniques. There's also a lot of knowledge, such as mineral processing, smelting, alloy forging, quenching…There's simply no end to knowledge. However…I'm not worried about this. My photographic memory is my forte. As long as I see it, observe it, or notice it, then no matter what knowledge or technique it is, it will be quickly digested and absorbed by me, turning into my own!
Now…I no longer studied with the other children. They had only learned the second axe of the 18 Dwarven axes, and it was still too early for them to learn. I only went to their place to do morning training and finishing training in the evening. The rest of the time, Grandpa Chief allowed me to observe the forging of the other Dwarven blacksmiths and experience the essence of forging!
On the other hand, my Nine Yang Divine Skill has also improved very quickly. Although I haven't felt the Qi as described in the scripture, my body has obviously become much stronger, especially my strength. After consolidating and increasing every day, my strength is now very great. Grandpa Chief has instructed me to accompany me to the outside of the village for trial practice in the next few days!
Finally, it was the Dwarf Axe Technique. During this month, I didn't think about the Hundred Battle Saber Technique anymore. Instead, I focused on studying the Dwarf Axe Technique. As the saying goes, one more skill doesn't burden one's body. It's always good to learn more things. Furthermore…the Dwarf Axe Technique was the Dwarf's forging hammer technique. This made it even more worthwhile for me to focus on learning it.
After a month of training, I have already mastered the battle axe technique. In the words of the grandfather chief, I have already reached the stage where I can fight in real combat. As for the other dwarf children, they will need at least a year to reach my current state!
Although it was only a month, my appearance had undergone a huge change. The muscles all over my body had begun to develop rapidly. The arduous training had filled my body with strength. Although I was still far from reaching maturity, but…compared to dwarves of the same age, my strength advantage was overwhelming!
I'm looking forward to the upcoming trial, and I'm also very excited…After learning for such a long time, I finally have the opportunity to go outside the village. After I can leave the village, I can accept the other two jobs-mining and transporting ores!
Even though my initial range of activity is usually only within a kilometer, I believe that I will grow up very quickly because…I have a clear goal, and that is to become a qualified blacksmith as soon as possible and forge a treasured saber for myself! For this goal, I will put in all my effort!
For the next few days, I trained my Dwarf Axe Technique with all my might to increase my strength. At night, I meditated all night. While I recovered from my fatigue, my strength also slowly but steadily increased!
Finally…the time for the trial is about to arrive. However…before the trial begins, I still have one more important thing to do, and that is to become my disciple!
As mentioned earlier, the dwarves have a rule that they will never forge any weapons or armor for other dwarves. In other words…the weapons that I participate in the trial must be forged by myself! If one wanted to learn how to forge, one had to take a dwarf blacksmith as their master and learn forging techniques.
Generally speaking, a dwarf's master was his father, because…every dwarf was a blacksmith, and there was no need for him to take someone else as his master. Usually…every dwarf had his own forging experience. If he didn't pass on this skill to his own children, who else could he pass it on to?
"But I'm different. I don't have any relatives here. Everything is unfamiliar to me. Therefore…I have to choose my own master and obtain his approval.
Fortunately, my luck was really good. Grandpa Chief was very appreciative of my learning ability and personally accepted me as his disciple. You have to know…Grandpa Chief was the greatest blacksmith in the Dwarf Race for 300 years. At the same time, he was also the most talented blacksmith in the past few thousand years. He once forged eight peerless weapons, and because of this…he became the Dwarf Race's Chief in one fell swoop!
I spent the entire morning teaching Grandpa Chief the basic forging techniques, the most basic forging technique, and personally demonstrated how to forge a battle axe specially used by the dwarves!
The battle axes of the dwarfs were all short-handled. Only the Tauren of the Orcs used long-handled axes. The dwarfs 'short stature determined that no matter how powerful they were, they could not use long-handled axes at all!
Early in the morning, he practiced the Dwarf Battle Axe for four hours. Then, under the lead of the grandfather chief, he walked to the back of the village…
The Dwarf Village was built in a mountain depression. Only the entrance of the village faced the wilderness. The mountain was inside the village. Usually, the dwarves would mine ores from the mountain wall behind them for smelting and forging.
On the left side of the Dwarf Village was a small dock. Outside the dock was a beautiful lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. I had seen the sea before. The only difference between this lake and the sea was that there were no turbulent waves. Moreover…the lake water was green, not as blue as the sea!
After spending an entire morning under Grandpa Chief's guidance, I learned how to distinguish iron ores. It's actually very simple…First, look at the color. Iron ores are darker and heavier. Most importantly, Grandpa Chief gave me a small magnet. If it's iron ore, the magnet will be attracted to it.
After mining for an entire morning, I finally mined enough iron ore. Grandpa Chief told me that these ores were enough to refine the iron required to forge a 20 kg Dwarf Axe!
After having some papaya porridge at noon, Grandpa Chief personally demonstrated how to smelt ores and separate stones from iron. After the demonstration, he let me do the experiment myself. Grandpa Chief said that the knowledge I fumbled about would be more reliable!
The smelting furnace was an earthen kiln made of earth. First, special coke was put in. After the fire was ignited, the coke burned to its fullest. Then, the iron ore was poured in and covered for smouldering.
The ten beasts were responsible for blowing the wind. The beasts were a type of magical beast with the wind element. They could use their mouths to blow out strong wind to cause damage to the enemy...
Of course…these Dumb Beasts were all trained. Most of the Dumb Beasts could only activate small tornadoes, but the trained Dumb Beasts could blow wind that met the requirements of blacksmiths!
Through more than ten pipes, the ten beasts kept blowing strong winds into the furnace, causing the coke in the furnace to burn vigorously and the temperature to rise rapidly!
When the temperature exceeded a certain level, the iron ore in the furnace began to melt and turned into a liquid like magma. At this time... the first step of smelting was completed.
When all the ores in the furnace turned into liquid, he quickly prepared a piece of wet and sticky clay and came to the front door of the furnace. He used an iron bar to poke open the guide hole at the bottom and draw out the liquid inside...
As the solution of iron ore was heavier than the solution of ordinary ores, the molten iron would gather at the bottom. More than 90% of the liquid flowing out of the guide groove was molten iron, which was the main material for forging!
According to the amount of ore, the amount of molten iron to be added was determined. If it was added too much, the solution of the rock would also be extracted, affecting the purity of the iron ore. However, if it was added too little, the molten iron would be wasted. The molten iron that did not flow out would be poured away together with the other rock solutions.
After receiving the molten iron, the first step of smelting was considered complete. After obtaining a certain amount of pig iron, the next step was to start refining. In order to forge a good weapon, the refining of ores was very important. The higher the purity of the iron, the better the material of the weapon. Correspondingly, the strength of the weapon would also be greater!
After draining the ore solution in the furnace, he poured the molten iron into it again. After adding the coke, he continued to burn it. After a few consecutive times, the molten iron obtained was high-purity molten iron!
Generally speaking, after nine consecutive refinements, the purity of the molten iron would reach more than 99%, and the next step could be started!
He took out the mold that he had carved in advance and caught the molten iron that flowed out of the guide groove. When the molten iron filled the entire mold, there was very little molten iron left.
After the molten iron in the mold cooled down, the mold was smashed, and a crude and ugly iron dwarf battle axe was obtained. Next... the most important work was to begin-forging!
