I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 74 The Sword in Fire and Blood Magic (for further reading)

The cast iron business is a vital business in the territory, which determines the future development of the Barony of Morrow.

Decide whether this will be a poor territory in the future, or an enviably rich land.

This also determines the progress of the growth of the magic power of Ivita's sky attribute.

By the way, the success of the cast iron business also determines which day Ivita will pay wages to the employees in the future.

If it really can't be sent out, then he can't help it.

However, the wealth of the territory may also bring some potential risks.

The hearthstone witch told Evita that if a territory is too rich, some monsters and witches will sneak over like cats smelling fish.

Moreover, the high-ranking nobles from all over the world will set their sights on Baron Moluo's territory.

However, it is impossible for Evita to give up eating because of choking.

He definitely needs a rich territory.

Before leaving, Ivita asked the blacksmiths to start a fire and asked them to use cast iron to forge two standard one-handed long swords.

This is because there are not too many knights in the city, and most of the mercenaries are infantry, so Ivita is not stupid enough to forge a knight sword that can only be used with two hands.

A one-handed sword is much shorter and lighter than a two-handed sword.

This can better demonstrate the excellence of cast iron materials to the wealthy families in the city.

One of the swords was about to take shape under the beating of a skilled blacksmith, and when the red-hot iron pieces were embedded in the wooden handle.

The Hearthstone Witch rushed up suddenly, and took out a glass bottle full of red liquid and a glass bottle of emerald green liquid from her pocket.

She poured the red liquid onto the red-hot sword, and smoke came out of the sword immediately. At the same time, she began to recite complex spells plausibly around the weapon.

The craftsman was dumbfounded, and he stared blankly at Ivita. "This...Master, what is she doing?"

The honest craftsmen were already afraid of and hated witches, but now he took five steps back.

Ivita didn't know what the old witch was doing, so she just nodded, but didn't speak, meaning to let him continue watching.

It is not a good thing for a lord to be too close to the people, just as it is not a good thing for a lord to stay away from his people.

In the history books Iveta read in his previous life, he discovered that during the crisis period of the Roman Empire in the third century, some usurping military emperors ate and slept with the soldiers in order to win the hearts of the people.

He thought he was being close to the people, but in fact, in the eyes of others, he was so hateful.

Why are we the same people as you, you can be the emperor, but we can't?

So, without exception, those people were all asleep and their heads were cut off by the soldiers.

If you want to make a person hate you, just approach him infinitely and let him know everything about you.

Therefore, Ivita ignored the craftsman.

This is also normal in the eyes of craftsmen, and there is a huge status gap between the two sides.

The old witch stood up, and poured the emerald green liquid from another bottle onto the red-hot iron sword, and the sword again let out smoke.

After reciting a few spells, the old witch glared at the craftsman. "Keep knocking and finish this sword for me."

The craftsman looked at Ivita.

Evita nodded at him. "Don't worry, this will not be life-threatening, this is a witch who obeys me."

"I will keep you safe."

The blacksmith suddenly became confident, and at the same time secretly lamented that Lord Ivita is really a powerful lord, even the witches obey him.

In the mind of this ignorant blacksmith, Iveta's power has reached the limit of his imagination.

Ivita frowned at the old witch and said, "The emerald green liquid you poured just now is the blood of the Dryad."

"What is the red liquid?"

Don't tell me it's human blood.

Ivita probably guessed the purpose of the old witch. In the ancient times of the earth, many people chose to sacrifice the sword with their human body when the sword was about to be released.

This is presumably to increase the carbon content of the sword.

This is the mystery of the ancient human sacrifice.

But in this world, there may be other meanings.

The old witch said to Evita: "Your Majesty, do you want to use human blood to sacrifice the sword?"

"The red liquid is the blood that was extracted from the corpse of Manuel Boar before. This is the only bottle that was produced. It shouldn't be considered human blood, because he has been deformed into a dragon."

Ivita said: "Then why do you want to sprinkle low-quality dragon's blood and the blood of the children of the forest on the semi-finished product?"

The old witch said: "Your Majesty, the blood of the Son of the Forest comes from the official priest who died in the living room during the previous war."

"Because I want to see the effect of combining cast iron and blood magic."

While they were talking, the blacksmith had already taken the sword out of the fire and put it into the cold water next to it.

The temperature of the sword is dropping rapidly.

The old witch said: "In this world, the appearance of every famous sword is almost accompanied by a blood magic, even those users may not realize it."

"Blood magic has been misused."

"The blood dripping on the sword seeps into the interior of the iron, which can change its internal structure and endow the sword with some unexpected power."

"Of course, the raw material of your Broken Steel Sword is the Extraterrestrial Meteor, and there is superb magic in it, so there is no need to use blood magic."

Iveta was surprised, and said: "Can mortals use blood magic to sacrifice swords?"

"But why can mortals use magic, even if it's just a specific magic?!"

The old witch said: "Yes. However, many specific conditions need to be met. Among them, knowledge is only passed on from father to son in the family, and never told to outsiders."

"So I don't know the relevant knowledge."

The Great Hearthstone Witch said: "Your Majesty, I once asked my teacher why some mortals can use blood magic through specific secret knowledge."

"My teacher said she didn't know either."

"However, there must be a problem here, and there is a big problem."

"But since everyone has used this custom for hundreds of years without incident, everyone doesn't care."

The hearthstone witch said: "My teacher guessed that when those mortals used blood magic, they only used magic, rather than producing and possessing magic. The source of magic power may be a certain law, or an existence."

"But if it is a law, it can affect people of different races in various places and in various time periods. This is definitely a law with a high priority."

Ivita nodded, the world is full of mysteries.

Even a seemingly ordinary habit may involve a huge secret.

Probably because, the terrible existence behind those hidden things originally needs to leave the law on mortals.

After a long time, I don't know how many habits in everyone are from natural occurrence, or from the distortion and interference of those existences.

I can't tell the difference.

The blacksmith puts the cooled sword into the furnace, reheats it, and then takes it out again and puts it in the air to cool slowly, which is quenching + tempering + annealing.

This is the optimized heat treatment process that Evita taught them.

After such a set, even without blood magic, the sword forged in this way is incomparable and indestructible.

The blacksmith pulled out the sword that had been put into the blood magic, "Master, please take a look at my work."

The old witch glared at him and corrected, "It's our work!"

"I have completed the most important step, which is blood magic."

The blacksmith stared at her, still scared at first, but when he thought that someone was going to steal his right to make the sword, he felt angry and unconvinced. "Why, you didn't even touch my sword, so why did we finish it together?"

The old witch was furious, "Look at me cursing you to death, I will make you suffer from fever..."

and many more……

The old witch suddenly realized that she had said a taboo that should not be said.

When she cursed the original owner of Evita, she used this curse...

She doesn't open any pot and lifts which pot, what is she talking about!
Ivita gave her a cold look, "Master Bran is relatively simple, as my confidant, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

The old witch smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.

Ivita raised the sword with blood magic, and saw that the ordinary sword, in the sun, had two lines of red and emerald green on the side of the sword.

He asked the craftsmen to bring over ordinary wrought iron swords, and then he slashed at it with one sword, and the wrought iron sword broke directly.

The old witch and craftsmen were overjoyed.

Because such a sword came from their hands.

"This has exceeded the upper limit of the material of the cast iron sword, and the sword is very light, like the weight of a ball of cotton." Ivita touched the blade of the sword and said, "It can be swung, but it still has the gravity inertia brought by the normal mass .”

"The temperature of this sword is still a bit high. I suspect that the dragon's blood has raised its melting point."

"It seems that blood magic really works."

The Hearthstone Witch's eyes were also shining, she said: "Of course, this is made of dragon's blood and the painstaking efforts of the official sacrifice. These materials are already luxurious enough."

"If I hadn't been by your side, I might not have been able to get it together in decades."

"Your Majesty, this is a sword that can become a famous sword. Give it a name."

Ivita thought for a while, looked at the sword, and said, "Let's call it the sword in the fire."

Craftsman Bran looked at the sword excitedly, knowing that no matter what, he who made it would be famous.

Craftsman Bran said: "Master, this sword adopts the technology that you and we transformed together."

"Excellent materials are used, and... there is strange blood magic. You should not sell it, you should keep it with you."

"It will bring you victory."

Ivita nodded, and suddenly raised the sword in flames. Under the sunlight, the blade glowed slightly green and red again.

Then, the sword seemed to be able to absorb sunlight. The sunlight seemed to be concentrated around the sword, and the surrounding area became brighter and brighter. Flames of different colors burning.

Ivita said: "It's really good. Famous swords are rare. I can't just sell this kind of strategic resource."

No matter how short of money, it is impossible to sell this kind of thing.

"As a reward for Master Bran for building this sword."

"I will promote you as one of the managers of my iron foundry, and I will let the housekeeper arrange the specifics."

Evita said.

Blacksmith Bran was overjoyed. Seeing that Ivita was leaving, he immediately pushed a small cart full of cast iron ingots to follow.

He couldn't push it by himself, so he called the apprentices in the workshop to come over and help him push it together.

Ivita walked out with the old witch, and Ivita said: "Let the black wolf prepare the carriage, we are going to the nearest city [Parvega]."

"It's a city with a population of more than 6 people."

"It is also the largest city in the urban agglomeration here."

"We can both source charcoal and dump cast iron over there."

The old witch doesn't care about that. "Your Majesty, I have compiled some magic materials for you overnight and compiled them into books."

"You can take a look on this road."
