Chapter 11: forging

The blacksmith didn’t have much time to go in. He quickly turned around. He was followed by a middle-aged man in linen clothes. His skin was shiny and dark, and even his face was an obvious blacksmith, but his clothes were not. Very decent, obviously not much iron.

　　 Seeing this man, Duo Lai, who was burning by the stove, immediately stood up, lowered his head, and said, "Brother, hello, I want to apply for a job."

　　 Brother Ha came to Duolai and looked at him up and down. He suddenly shot and patted Duolai on the shoulder.

　　 Duola knew what he was doing, and didn't hide at all. He pressed his feet to meet Ha Ge's big hand.

bump.

　　 Duolai's feet shook, and the whole person was shot down a bit shorter, but his body was still quite straight.

Ha Ge squeezed Dolai’s shoulder with his hand, and smiled, "Boy, okay, I haven’t worked in the mine for two years, okay, you can do it with Verek, he can do whatever he wants you to. What, four copper plates a day are feasible?"

　　 Yeah, I also gave an extra copper plate, and Duo Lai immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, go, thank you Ha, thank you Ha."

　　 Brother Ha looked at Dolay’s immature face, thought for a while, and said, “If you don’t want to be a small worker, if you are quite an apprentice, then it’s up to you to see if you have any eyesight.”

　　 can be an apprentice? Dolay's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded.

Although blacksmith apprentices do not have wages, they are different from small workers. They can learn crafts from their masters and become official blacksmiths in the future. Even if the official blacksmith is a naturalized blacksmith registered by the blacksmiths’ union, his monthly income is expressed in silver coins. Rather than a copper plate, it is definitely a matter of flying to the sky. If you can be an apprentice blacksmith, then the dictionary work can be postponed to the back, don't worry.

Ha Ge just talked casually. He could see that Duo Lai didn't want to waste all day to eat, so he was a small worker, but the blacksmith also needed people. If Duo Lai is quite a blacksmith in the future, based on his current situation. Body size is also possible. Of course, body size is body size. Whether you can eat this bowl of rice or not depends on talent and hard work. Actually, it has nothing to do with body size, but body size is the foundation.

　　Verek was the blacksmith who had just talked to Dolay, and when he saw Hugger agreeing, he smiled honestly.

　　Veryk is a second-level blacksmith, who can forge second-level ironware. Now there are no small workers to do it, and he is very happy.

　　 Ha Ge said a few words, then left the forge and went to the back, while Dolay stayed beside Verek.

　　Verek looked at Duolai, and said with an irritating voice, "You are the first time you are a small worker. If you get to the top, if you mess up with me, I'll hit someone."

　　 Duolai naturally nodded in a hurry, saying that he would do it well.

　　Verek is a second-level blacksmith, who is solely responsible for a forging furnace. Next to the forging furnace is the mold pattern, iron felt, and ice water for quenching. In the past two days, there were not enough small workers, so they were all assigned to the third-level blacksmith. As a result, Verrick of the second-level blacksmith had no small workers to use. He was very worried. Just in time for Dulai to arrive, he was very pleased.

　　 The fire Verek of the forging furnace is ready, so I waited for it to flourish, and then began to prepare. On the other forge furnaces, there are small workers who have already begun to build them, and Verrick is also more anxious.

After the matter was settled, Veraco arranged work for Dolai. The first thing was to burn the fire, add carbon to the forge, and then pull the bellows to make it burn more vigorously, while Veraco went to prepare the mold and the iron ingot. .

As a member of Duomen City, Duo Lai has some experience in iron ore processing. The iron ore that has just been mined needs to be screened, then sanded, and then the iron sand is processed into pig iron through the iron blasting furnace. The addition is to fry the pig iron. Refining, removing more impurities in it, turning it into wool, and then finishing again to become usable steel, and to get more advanced steel, you need more processing and some means, and finally it becomes Among the steel ingots that can be used, fire played a big role. In Domon City, in addition to the charcoal fires used by civilians, the large-scale magic fires used by the officials themselves are the most powerful. That is the flames that can only be used by wizards. The civilians can't reach it at all.

For ordinary people, wizards are sacred existences, and they cannot be touched at all, not to mention magic fire. It is said that it is a flame ten times more powerful than charcoal fire. Charcoal fire can already melt steel. That magic fire Isn't it even more terrifying?

　　 Dolai was burning the fire while thinking wildly in his mind. Soon, he burned the fire up. Compared with working in the mine, pulling the bellows was a very light thing.

Standing there busy, Verek saw that Dulai was very diligent in burning the fire, and he was secretly happy. He had brought the iron ingot over, and when he saw the flame, he asked Dulai to get the crucible and prepare to melt the steel ingot. .

　　 The work is not difficult, it is cumbersome. Verrick needs this for a while, and that for a while, and he also needs to take care of the flames from time to time, so that the fire cannot be lowered. After a while, his whole body is flushed by the flames, and the whole body is steaming with steam.

　　 Dolay pulled the bellows vigorously, turning the fire red, and the iron ingot in the crucible was quickly melted away. At this time, Verek had already prepared the mold.

　　 Duo Lai is not just simply burning the fire, he is also observing around, and he is very curious about all the craftsmanship of the blacksmith. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The mold is a sandbox. The sand inside is very dense and firm. After fixing it, put a large broadsword prop in it. After pressing a mark in the sand, remove the broadsword and re-attach the sandbox. After closing, only one end of the sandbox is exposed and placed on the ground.

The following results were unremarkable, ordinary iron ingots turned into water, and then poured into the mold, as a burst of smoke emerged, after the molten iron was poured in, wait a while, open the mold, and the black broadsword embryo was Revealed, at this time, it's about to start forging.

　　 The two cooperated, one burned the fire, added carbon, and the other beat the embryo. The morning passed quickly, and a nine-forged broadsword was freshly baked.

　　 The next step is polishing.

Dolay saw that in the forging process, Verek did not simply smash the broadsword. It was a regular pattern. The sledgehammer and the hammer were switched, and he could sense the appearance and center of gravity of the broadsword at any time. Be particular.

　　 After hitting a sword, Duola felt that he had learned a lot.

　　 After playing and taking a break, Verrick called Duolai to get something to eat. At this time, Verrick really accepted Duolai. The young man was very strong and capable, not bad.

　　 At this time, it was the meal. I went all the way and encountered many people walking out with food. Duola saw, what were they eating? It was fragrant rice and small pieces of meat, and his eyes straightened suddenly.

　　 Seeing Dolai's appearance, Vereker laughed and said, "Do it well. If you do it well, you can eat this every day."

　　 Along the way, many people greeted Verrick, and many people saw the little boy Duolai and sent out friendly greetings.

　　 This made Dolai feel that the group of blacksmiths is still very loving.
