Godsend Field

Chapter 41 Fire
After the rare metals passed around and returned to Master Finchland, the blacksmiths present eased from their excitement.Master Finchland then introduced some personal views on the stubbornness of metals, which are generally similar to those observed by Tianci.Tianci can only observe the inside of common precious metals, rare metals are still invisible, and Tianci doesn't care. After strengthening his spiritual power in the future, his consciousness will definitely be able to penetrate these rare metals!
With regard to the problem of metal recalcitrance, after thousands of years of research by blacksmiths of all ages, it has been recognized by the entire continent and has been determined, and there is nothing special about it.It's just that every blacksmith has a different way of handling it. Master Finchland used the nine-hammer method the longest, which he created himself!The method of nine hammers, when forging iron, each piece of iron has to go through three tests, three stable, three fixed, a total of nine hammers, nine times before the stubbornness of the metal can be evened out!While explaining the essence of his nine-hammer method, Master Finchlan took out the iron block from the nearby stove, took off his shirt, and demonstrated it himself.All the blacksmiths below watched intently, wishing to imprint Master Finchlan's every move in their minds!
"Master, the master used the nine-hammer method, so do we have any hammer method?" Tianci leaned close to Mike's ear and asked secretly.

Craftsman Mike blushed, and then replied, "Ahem! Master doesn't have one yet, just wait for you to create it in the future!"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Tianci hurriedly withdrew his head, hoping that Master would not mind, and that he would wear small shoes for himself in the future!

Master Finchlan hit the iron block with a hammer, sweat flew and sparks flew everywhere.The third prince stepped forward with a towel and stood quietly beside Master Finchland.Blacksmithing will be done in one go, especially after you have your own unique hammering method, once it is unfolded, it will not stop.Everyone in the audience held their breath for fear of disturbing Master Finchlan.Every part of the iron block has been tempered with nine hammers, for nine rounds, it took nearly two hours to complete just one stroke of the iron!

"Dang!" After the last hammer was struck, Master Finchland took a deep breath, his whole body was covered with sweat. With a wry smile, the master took the towel from the third prince and wiped the sweat off his head!
"This is my method of nine hammers. The advantage is that the refining materials can be more systematic and perfect, and there will be no omissions. The disadvantage is that it consumes too much energy! Of course, each of you will have your own unique method, and there is no advantage or disadvantage. , only suitable! As long as you feel it with your heart, any method is the same! In the process of forging iron in the early stage, you should pay attention to these problems..." Master Finchlan began to introduce his experience in forging iron in the early stage.

After watching Master Finchland's forging process in the early stage, many blacksmiths were secretly ashamed!This is the gap between myself and the master. Every hammer is a little bit short, and the gap will be created after the whole process!

Master Finchland rested for a while, and walked onto the platform again, and the iron blocks that had been laid before were reheated and placed on the iron pier. "Next, I will hammer this piece of iron into a broadsword. I will still use my nine-hammer method. Nine hammers and one quenching, nine quenching will form!" After speaking, Master Finchlan replaced the shaping hammer and began to hammer the iron block.After the first nine hammers, the entire iron block turned into a rough rectangle. After putting it into the cold water and making a "sizzling" quenching sound, Master Finchlan held the iron block in his hand, gestured something, and then put it back Heat it up in the stove.

The audience was silent, only the sound of Master Finchland striking iron and his rough breathing.

The second nine hammers go down, and the rough rectangle becomes a long strip, quenched, gestured, and heated!Until the sixth nine hammers went down, the appearance of the broad sword was clearly visible!The seventh and eighth nine-hammered broadswords have already taken shape, the blade, the blade, the gauntlet, and the hilt.After quenching the water, Master Finchland held the broadsword in his hand to observe and ponder!It took half a day to put the broadsword back into the stove.At the beginning of the last nine hammers, Master Finchland had a serious look on his face. He held each hammer high and then fell for a long time. The blacksmiths around him also became nervous. Every hammer of Master Finchland seemed to hit his heart. 'when!when! '

The last hammer fell!Master Finchlan showed a smile on his face, relieved! "The second step of shaping is over, and my old bones still live up to expectations! During the process just now, I initially..." Master Finchlan explained the main points of the casting just now!

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads one after another. They were so nervous just now!The maids in the courtyard took no time to bring cups of tea and snacks to everyone.

"The next step is Jingdiao. I think everyone knows that this link can be said to be the most important and the least important link! At this point, the performance of this broad sword has been determined. Fine cutting will not change! But I think no one is willing to bring a rough and ugly weapon, especially those handed down from generation to generation. Is that not excellence? So we should not underestimate this link. For this link, I have worked hard It's been 30 years!" Master Finchland said with emotion!
After listening to Master Finchlan's words, Tianci and Ayin looked at each other, and it turned out that what Master said was true!
After resting for a while, Master Finchlan began to carve the broadsword meticulously!In the hands of Master Finchlan, the small tidal hammer was as dexterous as an embroidery needle. It was carefully tapped on the blade and blade of the broadsword, and it took a long time for the hammer to complete the work.The blade of the broadsword was brightened on the sandstone, and after the blade was sharpened, Master Finchland took out the hilt guard prepared in advance, installed it on the broadsword and nailed it.

A good broadsword was displayed in front of everyone!
After inspecting it, Master Finchlan passed the broadsword to the blacksmiths below to watch. All the blacksmiths gathered together and stroked the blade, "Good sword, it's really a good sword, it should be close to a middle-grade weapon. To be able to hit this level is worthy of being a master!" Everyone exclaimed in amazement!
"Ordinary iron blocks are close to middle-grade weapons. If I can reach the master level, wouldn't it be... Wouldn't it be a lot of money!" The godsend thief thought.

Unknowingly, from blacksmithing to fine carving, it took four full hours, from noon to now it is already evening!The maids lit their magic lamps very early on, illuminating the other courtyard like daytime!
"Okay, let's stop here for today's public art teaching. Master Finchlan must be very tired. Let's let the master rest first. If there is any problem, the master at this place will explain it to everyone at noon tomorrow. Confused!" Marquis Dolan must have been tired from sitting, so he stood up, shook his body and walked to the platform to announce the end of the day!

Master Finchlan smiled and said nothing, all the blacksmiths stood up helplessly, and reluctantly left one by one under the instructions of the maid!

"Mike Craftsman, please stay behind!"

Just when Tianci and Ayin stood up and followed Mike to leave, Marquis Dolan stepped forward and said to keep Mike, "I will hold a banquet for Master Finchland at the residence tonight, Mr. Mike will stay and have the banquet together if you don't mind it! "

The blacksmiths who hadn't left immediately cast envious and jealous eyes.

"It's an honor for me to have the banquet with Master Finchland!" Mike said modestly!

At this time, Master Finchland had already walked down and came to Marquis Dolan's side!
"Master Finchland, this is Mr. Mike, a craftsman of our Yaster city!" Marquis Dolan introduced to Master Finchland!

"Hello, master! I have benefited a lot today, thank you for your teaching!" Mike bowed slightly and said gratefully.Although Mike usually didn't look down on anyone in Astor City, when he met Master Finchland, Mike's life longing, he couldn't help but feel humbled.

"Mike craftsman, you haven't masked your name for a long time, and today you can finally get what you want in the Houfu. There are only five of you craftsmen in our Welsh Empire, and four of them are still in the military. You are the hope of the empire! Your Majesty and I have always paid close attention to you, and I hope you will not disappoint our expectations!" Master Finchland said with a smile, then turned to look at Marquis Dolan, "Your Majesty is so lucky!"

Craftsman Mike was immediately overwhelmed, at a loss as to what to do, Weiwei nodded!Marquis Dolan laughed out loud!
"Who are these two?" Master Finchlan looked at Tianci and Ayin and asked.The blacksmiths in the other courtyard were basically gone, and only these two stood behind Mike, very conspicuous.

"They are my villains, this one is a gift from God, and this one is Ah Yin!" Mike quickly introduced! "They all have the strength of middle and high-level blacksmiths. I took them here because of the rare opportunity this time. I hope the master doesn't mind!"

"Oh? Upper middle class blacksmith?" Master Finchlan twitched his eyebrows and looked at Tianci and Ayin. "Your two apprentices should be less than twenty! It's rare to have such achievements, very rare!" Finchlan The master walked two steps closer, put his hand on Mike's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Such a talent, you must cultivate it well, and you will be a pillar of our empire in the future!"

The third prince standing beside him suddenly changed his eyes, and immediately returned to normal!

"Hehe! Everyone must be hungry. I have already prepared meals. Everyone, please follow me!" As Marquis Dolan led the way, everyone followed.

This time I was walking towards the inner mansion, but unfortunately it was already dark in the evening, except for the magic lamps lit by the maids to illuminate the stone road, there was nothing to be seen in the distance!How could such a good opportunity be missed by God?Let go of your mind, and you can see all the wind and grass within 200 meters.Going all the way to the banquet hall, Godsend still didn't find anything!Unexpectedly, the secret room of the Marquis is quite deep!
Arriving at the hall of the inner palace, many invited local nobles have already taken their seats, waiting for the protagonists to appear, including Viscount Aska and Master Pusda.At the request of Master Finchland throughout the banquet, Tianci and Ayin sat at the lower seats of the table, which surprised Marquis Dolan and Craftsman Mike, and the third prince and Master Pusta were even a little bit dissatisfied!The banquets in Hou's Mansion were extraordinarily sumptuous, and the color, aroma, and shape were all delicious, which made Tianci recall the first meal he ate when he first arrived in Yaster City—the Bawang meal at Phoenix Restaurant!But this time Yu'er will not be lucky!
The banquet lasted very late, during which Tianci and Ah Yin kept eating hard, causing laughter and disdain from the surrounding nobles!But Godsend doesn't care about these, filling one's stomach is the kingly way!While entertaining the nobles, Master Finchlan paid attention to the two of them, the third prince's face became even more ugly in his eyes!
Suddenly a personal guard rushed in and whispered a few words in Viscount Aska's ear, Viscount Aska's face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly, then glared at Master Pusda.

"What happened?" Marquis Dolan asked after seeing Aska's abnormal behavior.

"Father, it's nothing serious, it's just a fire in the nearby west district!" Viscount Aska said calmly.

"Then send someone to put out the fire!" Marquis Dolan didn't care.Things like fires, given the size of the city of Yaster, happened almost every day, so there was nothing strange about it.

"Yes, father, I will personally direct the fire fighting!" After Viscount Aska finished speaking, he gave a knight's salute to Marquis Dolan and Master Finchland and left in a hurry.

"Isn't it just a fire? Do you need Lord Aska to go in person?"

"Yeah, it's really rude to leave early before the banquet is over!"

"Who knows, maybe the viscount's friend was burned!"

The nobles began to discuss secretly in a low voice.

"Near the west district, isn't it not far from our blacksmith shop?" Ah Yin swallowed the food in his mouth and said to Tianci.

"Well, it's not far!" Tianci casually agreed, and reached out to grab another chicken wing. "Near the west district...not good! Uncle Tashika's house is near the west district!!" Tianci was startled suddenly, Throwing down the cutlery with a 'snap', turned around and ran outside.

"Tianci, where are you going? Wait for me!" Seeing Tianci running away, Ah Yin threw down the tableware and chased after him like a reflex.

"What's the matter, they ran away without saying hello, civilians are civilians who don't even know a little bit of etiquette!" Master Pusda took the lead and said eccentrically.

"That's right, Marquis Dolan is really too, how could he let two commoners come to the banquet and sit with us!"

The nobles below couldn't help complaining.A wicked smile flashed across the corner of Master Pusda's mouth!
Marquis Dolan was also surprised and angry, but it was not easy to attack because of the face of Craftsman Mike and Master Finchland.Master Finchlan still smiled slightly, "Master Marquis, it seems that this fire is unusual, should we go and have a look?"

"Master, it's just an ordinary fire. How dare you bother him. Aska has already gone there in person. It won't take long for the fire to be extinguished. Let's continue the banquet!" Marquis Dolan said with a smile on his face. , raised his glass to toast Master Finchland.

Tianci and Ah Yin ran out of the banquet hall one after the other. The main road in the waiting mansion is spacious, and there will be two guards standing every few meters.The personal guards all knew that today was the day when Lord Marquis hosted a banquet for Master Finchlan, and all the distinguished nobles from Yaster City came, and they did not stop Tianci and A Yin from running out of the banquet hall.

Running out of the marquis gate and looking in the direction of Uncle Tashika's house, Tianci suddenly felt dizzy.The direction of Uncle Tashika's residence is full of flames, which can be seen from a distance.

Tianci desperately ran to Uncle Tashika's house, and within two streets, he heard a cry of "嗤~~" coming from the front.

It's Feather!When I went out today, I took Yu'er to the blacksmith's shop, because I was going to participate in Master Finchlan's public teaching in the afternoon, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Tianci left Yu'er in the blacksmith's shop.It may be that the fire caught Yu'er's attention, so he ran out to find himself, and happened to meet him on the way.

Yu'er ran in front of Tianci, jumped on her shoulders three or two times, gestured with her two front paws, pointed to the front again, and screamed anxiously.

"Is Uncle Tashika's house on fire?" Tianci asked anxiously.

"Aw~~Aw~~" Yu'er nodded her head.

Tianci didn't ask any more questions, and ran straight to Uncle Tashika's house.

The whole street was full of people, and a whole row of houses was in flames centered on the houses in Tahika.Viscount Aska was already directing everyone to put out the fire, but the flames were too big!
Tianci hurried over, pushed away the crowd of onlookers and rushed in, and was stunned immediately, the raging fire burned half of the sky red, waves of heat waves rushed towards him, and people's faces were scorched red.Many people around were still wearing pajamas, shouting and crying as they watched their homes in flames.The firefighters were busy shuttling through it.

A woman in silk pajamas hugged her one-year-old child and knelt on the ground, "Please, save my husband, he's trapped inside."

Some people beside them covered their mouths with their hands, their faces were wet with tears, and they looked at the sea of ​​fire with sobs, maybe some of their relatives were still inside.The people who fought the fire had no time to pay attention to them when they came in and out. Such a big fire would kill them if they got close, let alone rushing in to save people, it was just delusional!

"Quick! Quick!" the disheveled Aska commanded anxiously, pushing and shoving the guards with his hands from time to time. The disgraced guards hurriedly took basins and buckets to pour water from the surroundings into the flames.For the soaring fire, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

"No, Uncle Tashika!!" Tianci yelled sadly, and rushed into the flames.

"Don't, don't Tianci!" Ah Yin who just ran in hastily hugged Tianci tightly, "Don't go, it's dangerous Tianci!"

The nearby Viscount Aska noticed Tianci, and quickly walked over to hold Tianci, "Don't be impulsive, we will rescue you, Uncle Tashika!"

"Help, how do you save me? My uncle Tashika is still inside!" Tianci roared, and suddenly thought of something, "Magician, the magician who can rain, call him quickly!"

Aska didn't say a word, the Great Mage Hill went to the capital's Magic Union for further training a month ago, and it would take half a year at the earliest to come back. Who knew that the fire broke out at this time, and there were no other water-type great mages in the city!

With the help of the wind, the fire did not have any tendency to decrease. Instead, it burned more and more vigorously, and many burned-out buildings collapsed.Many fire fighting crowds have stopped. This kind of fire cannot be extinguished by manpower.The guards did not receive the order and could only bite the bullet and continue to fetch water to put out the fire.Looking at the fire, Viscount Aska was also in despair.Only in the face of disasters do people realize how small their power is!
Tianci, who came down from the cold, had no expression on his face, his eyes were frozen.Quickly spread out the consciousness and plunge into the sea of ​​fire to search Uncle Tashika and Aunt Liz carefully!After entering the bedroom of Uncle Tashika through the layers of houses, the bed had already been burnt out of shape, and the beams of the house were broken and smashed on the bed.After careful exploration, no trace of someone being burned was found on the bed, and Tianci calmed down a little.After searching the entire bedroom, but not finding it, Tianci began to search one by one.Finally, I found Uncle Tashika and Aunt Liz near the water tank in the kitchen. Both of them were unconscious, curled up in the corner behind the water tank with wet quilts. Because the kitchen is relatively small, although the surroundings were already red-hot, But not caved in.
