He called Lucius, who was looking around, over. Ackerman had a large hammer in his hand, which was obviously used for forging.
" Lucius, as a blacksmith apprentice, you should learn from the side for the next few days. Observe carefully. When I think you can learn the first step, I will tell you what to do.”
Ackerman said as he threw a piece of iron ore into the furnace.
"I'll just watch from the side?" Lucius was a little speechless. Wasn't this just letting him idle here? This was too... relaxed!
"Yes, observe carefully." Glancing at Lucius, Ackerman said meaningfully.
Ackerman had high hopes for his best friend's child. He had his own considerations for letting Lucius observe first.
First of all, Lucius was only ten years old. Due to family reasons, his body was not strong. He would be exhausted if he were to do some heavy work at the beginning.
Secondly, observation was very important to a person. There was a big difference between understanding something on one's own and understanding it when someone else said it. Ackerman hoped that Lucius could be good at observation and understand the skills of blacksmithing on his own.
Seeing Ackerman's serious expression, Lucius quieted down, because Ackerman had already raised the sledgehammer in his hand!
"Bang!" A loud sound of metal hitting metal entered Lucius 'ears, and the sound contained a heavy sense of power!
After about ten minutes, Ackerman was already drenched. He took off his shirt and continued hammering!
He looked at Ackerman's sturdy body and strong muscles. With every swing, they moved rhythmically. The iron piece under the hammer was deformed and twisted just right, and its essence was gradually extracted.
After observing for a long time, Lucius finally realized that Ackerman's every strike seemed to be carried out in the most energy-saving way, and he could also perfectly amplify the strength. The entire process of forging was stable and rising. Lucius even felt that every time Ackerman hammered, there was no difference.
Was this the art of forging with superb skills? There was indeed something redeeming about it.
Standing aside, Lucius had gradually understood Ackerman's intention for him to observe, and he had indeed learned something.
On this day, Lucius followed Ackerman and observed him closely, learning about blacksmithing. Before he knew it, the sun was already setting. Ackerman looked at the sky and prepared to close the door.
"Lucius, go back to dinner, that's all for today!”After arranging the items in the shop, Ackerman called out to Lucius, who was brandishing the Black Gold Bamboo Blade.
"Oh!" Lucius reluctantly put down the knife in his hand. This was the first time he had seen such a sharp knife!
On the road, Ackerman would occasionally greet acquaintances on the street, appearing very gentle. As the most famous blacksmith in the area, many people knew Ackerman. Everyone needed ironware, so it was normal for him to know Ackerman.
Along the way, Lucius 'identity as a blacksmith apprentice was gradually known to the people in town.
After walking for a while, the crowd gradually decreased. Ackerman said to Lucius,""Lucius, did you learn anything today?”
"Of course!" Lucius seemed very confident when Ackerman asked him.
"Haha, that's good!" Ackerman was satisfied with Lucius 'answer and didn't ask further. He knew Lucius well and he wouldn't say empty words.
Lucius returned home in a good mood after dinner at Ackerman's house. He had a very fulfilling day and had seen a lot of new things. He needed time and a quiet environment to slowly digest the information.
Lying in bed, Lucius began to recall what he had learned from Ackerman that day.
He had two main goals now.
First, he had to feed himself. This was his top priority. After all, he was only ten years old. If it weren't for Ackerman and Helen, he would have starved to death. However, Lucius did not want to rely on others all the time. He wanted to learn a skill to support himself.
Second, become stronger. This was Lucius's ultimate goal. In this world that was filled with danger, he had to constantly become stronger. Otherwise, not to mention becoming a demigod in this world, it would be a problem if he could even survive! One had to know that the "Hometown Trio" was already very abnormal. The giant could kill a large number of people with a single stomp, and Lucius was the kind of person who could be easily trampled to death.
As a transmigrator with the inheritance of the Desert Death God, how could Lucius be willing to let his fate be in the hands of others? Therefore, becoming stronger had planted a seed deep in his heart!
Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Desert Death God could only be used to drain the soul. The rest seemed to have not been unlocked. Perhaps he was still too weak!
However, Ackerman's performance today showed Lucius another way to become stronger, which was to train himself.
The soldiers in the original novel were still very strong. The elites of the Investigation Corps could easily kill ordinary fifteen-meter-tall giants. As for the stronger Sanli, Lewell, and the others, they could even take on a group of them one by one (provided that they had sufficient supplies). In other words, even without the inheritance of the Desert Death God, Lucius could still become very strong with his own strength.
Lucius wouldn't let go of this opportunity to become stronger before the inheritance was unlocked. Ackerman's power was definitely one of the more outstanding existences among humans!
These days, Lucius had been learning from Ackerman. He remembered every detail of Ackerman's forging.
A few days later, Lucius couldn't help but say to Ackerman, who was about to swing the hammer,""Uncle Ackerman, let me try!”
