“Most of the time, the Killing Stone is asleep.
The situation of awakening may be encountered once or twice in Forging Ten Swords. "
After all, Kira is the master craftsman of the swordsmith.
He knew much better than Su Wu about many aspects of sword casting.
Su Wu recalled the scene where the Killing Stone had awakened in the sword-making room, and then recalled two rumors about the Killing Stone - one said that the Killing Stone was formed by the fusion of Li Kuai's peeled skin and iron ore.
Another theory is that the killing stone is originally a dead stone.
When the killing stone was awakened previously, Su Wuwei felt a hint of strangeness flowing from the bloody knife blade, but the various situations at that time were very similar to the scene when Li Wei was awakened.
He was unable to determine where the killing stone came from.
Of the two rumors about the killing stone circulating on Dongliu Island, he was more inclined to the first.
Perhaps the killing stone was formed by the fusion of Li Kui's peeled skin and iron ore.
After all, the leather shell is a dead thing.
This also leads to the fact that the killing stone formed in this way has some strange characteristics, but it can never exude a strange charm.
As for the second rumor,
Fundamentally, Su Wu questioned the statement that "Li Gui will die".
"Is there any difference between a sword forged from an awakened killing stone and a sword forged from an unawakened killing stone?" Su Wu asked Craftsman Kira again.
Craftsman Kira witnessed Su Wu's change in status with his own eyes.
Knowing that he is currently favored by two great craftsmen, An Gang and Hu Tetsu,
He naturally knew everything about Su Wu's questions: "The sword forged from the awakened killing stone is rumored to have some characteristics related to the cunning. If it meets an owner who is suitable for it, it may gradually become cunning." , becomes mysterious and unpredictable.
But most of the time,
In actual application, there is actually not much difference between the swords forged by the awakened killing stone and the swords forged by the unawakened killing stone in the hands of ordinary warriors.
——If these two kinds of swords are held by someone for a long time, they are likely to bring all kinds of bloody disasters to their owners! "
According to what Kira said,
The sword made of the killing stone can be described as an 'ominous blade'.
But today, there are still countless warriors rushing to get this kind of weapon.
This man is undoubtedly interested in a weapon forged from the killing stone. If it is of higher quality, there is a very high probability that it can 'cut through the enemy'!
Secondly,
Maybe some people are delusional and think that they can get a killing stone sword that suits them, and then exert some of its characteristics related to the evil spirit!
These two points alone are enough to make it extremely popular among warriors.
after all,
The vast majority of samurai are desperadoes, and their job is to lick blood with their swords.
They face bloody disasters almost every day. In this way, the shortcoming of "the killing stone will bring bloody disasters to its owner" can be ignored!
As for people like Su Wu, they would not take the 'bloody disaster' seriously.
Su Wu sorted out her thoughts,
Watching the great craftsman Anzuna, who was cutting straw mats and bamboo bundles in rapid succession, he asked Kira again: "Can you test out all the capabilities of that knife by cutting like this?
Does that knife have the ability to cut through serious enemies?
——After all, it is a fighting knife of close to ‘extreme’ quality. "
Kira shook his head and said: "The test beheading is for the knife maker to judge the performance of a knife and to deduce its full performance based on the test beheading. It is not to cut a knife during the test beheading." The full capabilities of the knife are unleashed.
——Every time the full performance of the sword is used, the life of the sword will be depleted.
As for whether it can cut through the evil spirits,
The only way is to wait for it to be returned to its true owner and let the owner test it himself!
In our sword-making workshop, we don’t have the means to bring Li Gui over as a material for the trial! "
"I see."
Su Wu nodded,
No more words.
At this time, An Gang also tested the knife in his hand. He was very satisfied with the performance of the knife. He put it back in the sheath and handed it to Hu Che next to him: "Brother Hu Che, could you please take this knife?" Returned to its owner!
The quality of this knife is close to 'extreme', and it may have the ability to cut through some 'little tricks'.
You can let its owner try it for a while, and be sure to ask him to inform me of the results.
At the same time, please note that he must not try to use this knife to fight against the ‘big trick’, ‘evil trick’, or even the trick king level!
There is no chance of winning like that! "
Kotetsu took the knife, put it in a long wooden box, held it in his arms, and said to Anzuna in surprise: "Is this knife close to the 'extreme' level?
Brother An Gang, it seems that your skills have improved a lot! "
Hearing this, An Gang smiled and did not comment.
He looked across the crowd to Su Wu, who was standing with Ji Liang, and said loudly: "Little friend Zhuzhao, the trial beheading is over. You can start preparing to forge your first knife!"
"yes!"
Su Wu nodded immediately.
The two ink masters, Ji Liang and Su Wu from before walked towards the sword-making room dedicated to An Gang first.
Hu Che saw that An Gang was so kind to Su Wu, and curiously asked why.
He also followed An Gang to the sword-making room.
"Bring that box over here." An Gang entered the sword-making room and instructed Kira to move a half-meter-high box to the iron table.
Under the attention of everyone, he picked up a key and opened the big lock on the box.
Open the box,
A putrid smell rushed out along with the smell of sulfur.
Everyone was unaware of the smell, and their eyes were focused on the open box.
After Su Wu frowned, he also looked at the wooden box.
I saw a layer of leather from an unknown animal covered in the wooden box.
On that layer of leather,
From large to small, there are pieces of stone with a dark background, some vein-like lines, and a slight shine.
Every stone has a strange shape,
Some stones look like a heart, and some look like pig liver.
Some stones simply look like a baby's head or the placenta.
"This time I forge a sword of extremely high quality and deliver it to the Kondo family's close kinsmen. The Kondo family will surely be rich in reward.
They are close branches of the Fujiwara family,
The Fujiwara family controls a vein of killing stone!
In this way, they should report to us more and better quality killing stones this time! " An Gang ran his fingers over the ores that seemed softer in appearance, like human flesh and blood. He turned to look at Su Wu and said with a smile, "Little friend Zhuzhao, you have made a great contribution this time!
In addition, as Kotetsu and I promised you before, this time, you can choose ten kilograms of killing stones from the box.
I’ll prepare a ‘head stone’ for you,
Three ‘heart stones’ and one ‘placenta stone’.
These stones add up to less than ten kilograms.
The missing parts were supplemented with ‘meat stones’. "
While talking,
An Gang took out a bunch of killing stones from the wooden box and lined them up on the table.
The ink maker next to him weighed the stone.
Exactly ten pounds,
It's enough to forge a Da Dao or Tai Dao.
Su Wu looked at the killing stones of different shapes and guessed that the different shapes and names of these stones indicated their quality.
Among them, the ‘head stone’ and ‘placenta stone’ should be the most precious.
‘Heart Stone’ comes second.
‘Meat Stone’ updated.
I wonder if there is a more rare killing stone on top of the ‘head stone’ and ‘placenta stone’?
Burying the question in his heart, Su Wu thanked An Gang.
According to the process of making a knife, throw the killing stones into the fire and melt them into '𬭁iron',
Then smash the iron into small pieces,
Separate Yugang and Pao Dingtie.
——After these ten kilograms of killing stones are melted into a ball, almost every stone has a use value. Unlike ordinary iron ore, a piece of iron may only yield 70%, or even less usable iron stone.
Su Wu, with the cooperation of two ink masters and Ji Liang,
Start ‘Suyan’,
‘Made by fire’,
‘Soil-covered burning blade’.
A series of processes were carried out like flowing water. Watching Su Wu busy in front of the calcining furnace gave An Gang and Kotetsu a pleasant feeling.
Even the three craftsmen who cooperated with him were unknowingly brought into his rhythm.
As if under the invisible control of his consciousness,
He can always appear in the key working position at the critical moment.
"Heart Forging!"
Kotetsu whispered: "He has entered the state of heart forging."
The great craftsman paused slightly.
He looked very confused and murmured: "Why did Dayong, Gangmu, and Kira enter the state of 'Heart Forging' with him at the same time? Is it a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence." An Gang's eyes lit up, "I heard that some strong-willed swordsmiths can control all their assistants invisibly, allowing them to coordinate with themselves, and strive to make every step of the sword-making process perfect. !
Even, at some times,
Their will can affect the temperature of the flame in the furnace!
Now these three people's wills are invisibly controlled by Zhuzhao.
Zhu Zhao is a more talented swordsmith than his father!
He is a born swordsmith! "
"When he made the sword embryo just now, we didn't have a chance to check it - we should have taken a look at the quality of the sword embryo before. I really want to know..." Hu Che's eyes were surprised, and he was not only looking forward to Su Wu's appearance in the three With the continuous cooperation of the craftsmen, what kind of sword will be forged?
I even regret that I didn't have the opportunity to check the quality of the knife embryo.
Su Wu also didn't check the quality of the knife embryo.
The subsequent forging process began directly.
"If you continue to 'forge the heart' like this, is it possible to enter a state of induction by heaven and humans?" Kotetsu then asked in a low voice.
An Gang tightened his eyebrows and did not answer Kotetsu's question.
The degree of completion of the ink painting on ‘Zhuzhao’ is too low.
Such a low degree of completion of the ink painting has no way of interacting with the power of ‘ghosts and gods’.
Unable to relate,
How is it possible to enter the ‘sensation between heaven and man’?
Pity,
It would be better if the ink level of "Zhuzhao" was higher...
The steps of ‘fire creation’ were completed perfectly,
While Su Wu and the two ink masters were working together to forge the blade embryo, Ji Liang quickly walked to the corner, prepared the 'blade soil' and covered it on the forged blade.
Su Wu wore thick cloth gloves.
Holding the iron bar connected to the knife embryo in his hand, he thrust the knife embryo into the fire.
At this moment,
The fire jumped!
Those fires that surged up one after another turned into raging red lotuses that bloomed!
Lotus petals are blooming layer by layer,
The woman's shrill laughter followed: "Hahahaha——"
killing stone,
Awakened again!
An Gang and Kotetsu looked at each other, and the ink drawings on their bodies burned and turned into blazing black fire!
at the same time,
They replaced the two Ink Masters who had used the power of the Ink Map once before, and stood beside Su Wu. The blazing black fire was thrown into the furnace, and began to infect the fiery red lotus petals!
After all, the two Ink Masters were not as good as the great masters like An Gang and Kotetsu,
who could withstand using the power of the Ink Map twice or even three times in one day!
