Chapter 0030: Become A Glorious Blacksmith!

"Hmph, have you never been to the forging room before?"

Yami fell into an idle state, immediately giving Tsubaki a sense of accomplishment.

"Let me tell you, not everyone is qualified to be taught by me. Even some old people in the familia have not had this kind of treatment, and you are getting taught to forge by me as soon as you join the familia. You should be thankful!" 

Tsubaki entered the forging room and closed the door, completely isolating it from the outside world.

She stepped forward, patted Yami on the back, and said boldly: "Come on, boy, let me teach you the forging technique myself! Remember to focus. I am the number one blacksmith in Orario, don't let me down!"

"Understood, Captain. I will work hard."

Yami responded quickly.

Although he had a question, shouldn't Orario's number one blacksmith be Hephaestus-sama? It was just that he didn't say this sentence.

It was better to do less of this kind of low EQ behavior.

Following Tsubaki's figure, the two walked to the forging table one after another. The latter didn't seem to care about Yami's existence, and she didn't have the concept of a difference between men and women and put on her forging clothes directly in front of him.

That was...a white moon-wrapped Hungarian cloth.

This unrestrained dressing idea could only be seen in Tsubaki.

While fiddling with the stove, she asked Yami: "While heating up the stove, let's do some basic inquiries first. How much do you know about forging?"

"Uh...probably just the basics..."

He was slightly reluctant to say that basic knowledge, Yami's understanding of forging was still at the level of burning the material red and then continuously hitting it with a hammer.

After all, this kind of picture appeared the most among the various film and television works in his previous life.

He had just transformed from an otaku to an adventurer, so it would be embarrassing to know more about forging.

Fortunately, Tsubaki seemed mentally prepared in advance and did not have much expectation for Yami, so after hearing the response, her expression remained the same.

"It looks like you are a novice, but it doesn't matter. In fact, for adventurers, forging is not as difficult as imagined. It is very simple to create qualified equipment. "

"Let's not go too far. Let's start right now!"

After the furnace was successfully warmed up, the equipment-making prerequisites were completed. There was no assembly line-like industry in this world of swords and magic, and the forging relied only on manpower.

"Let me show you the complete forging process first and take a look at your potential as a blacksmith."

Yami nodded, leaned against the wall, and stood, looking forward to Tsubaki's next move.

Although Tsubaki was the best blacksmith in Orario, she was still far behind the god-level craftsman of Goddess Hephaestus; but as a human being, her skills could be regarded as the pinnacle.

So what Tsubaki said before was not wrong.

Not everyone could watch the 'best blacksmith' demonstrating her forging skills.

Any blacksmith who knew how to forge would benefit greatly from Tsubaki's forging process. You could see how much Yami was valued by her!

Taking out some prepared materials, Tsubaki started to act directly.

"The forging process is actually not difficult. It is roughly divided into making templates, smelting metals, forging or casting, and grinding and quenching. A qualified weapon is so simple to complete!"

"Tools and equipment such as smelting furnaces, calcination furnaces, anvils, and quenching tanks are needed in this process. This workbench is the product of sacred text carvings. It is very hard, so there is no need to worry about it being damaged during the forging process." 

"This is probably the most basic forging technique!"

While Tsubaki was talking, the movements of her hands were very skillful.

The metal ingot was burnt red and bright until the calcination was transparent. Tsubaki took it out with pliers and placed it on the anvil. 

"The purpose of forging is to remove impurities and purify the metal through calcination and external pressure to increase its strength."

The words in Tsubaki's mouth did not delay her movements. As a master blacksmith, her skill was, of course, worth mentioning. The long metal ingot was forged like raindrops. It was quickly punched out of the basic shape.

Judging from its appearance, it should be a straight sword.

The sales of straight swords in Orario were not very good, but there was still a certain market.

After hammering the metal strips to cool down to dark red, Tsubaki clamped them into the calciner for secondary heating, then clamped them out to continue hammering.

Such a rhythmic process fascinated Yami for a while.

The sound of hammering obviously sounded very harsh, but at this time, instead of feeling noisy, it was very pleasant to the ear. This was probably the charm of blacksmiths!

The scorching temperature turned the forging room into a sauna room, and this high temperature was not something ordinary people could bear.

Accompanied by the violent movements, Tsubaki was already dripping with sweat, and even the clothes on her body were soaked, making her already muscular figure even more beautiful.
