when!when!when!
The crisp sound of striking the iron block rang out continuously, but Roy was completely absorbed in his own world, oblivious to everything around him.
With each hammer blow, sparks fly, clearing away the tiny impurities remaining inside the iron block.
With his top-tier LV.4 stats, Roy displayed his abilities to the fullest, swinging the hammer and creating afterimages as the iron block gradually transformed into the shape Roy envisioned.
A strange glint flashed in Hephaestus's beautiful eyes. She seemed to see the shadow of the god Gubernius in Roy. He had indeed learned the essence of the art.
Even if an ordinary person spent their entire life, they might not be able to learn even a trace of the divine forging techniques.
But it happened to a sixteen-year-old boy.
It inevitably makes people feel that their worldview has been overturned.
The goddess Hephaestus pursed her thin lips. The boy's talent was truly terrifying; no wonder he was hailed as the "Son of Miracles" by those meddlesome gods.
Roy's every move was like art, captivating the blacksmiths of the sword-making city so much that they forgot to eat and sleep, lost track of time, and forgot to think.
He stared intently at Roy as he forged the metal.
They couldn't understand the gods' masterful skills; they could only feel a deep sense of awe.
Roy was caught in the middle, touching the "realm of the gods" but not fully entering it, allowing even ordinary blacksmiths to feel its charm.
"So you can swing the hammer like that?"
"My God, that's incredible control over the heat!"
"I want to become his apprentice."
"Who wouldn't want to be like that!"
The blacksmiths exclaimed in amazement, drawing disapproving glances from the others.
These sounds had no effect on Roy. After dealing with the "Red Rose" iron block, he moved on to the "Yellow Rose" iron block, adding mithril and orientalite.
"hiss!"
Looking at the materials Roy used, even the most seasoned blacksmiths, who had worked in the field for decades, gasped in astonishment. What on earth was he trying to create? Why use so many precious materials?
This also means that the weapon was extremely difficult to make.
With a time limit of ten hours, can the other party complete it? The answer quickly became clear to everyone.
It is a large double-edged sword, with two huge blades formed from red and yellow iron blocks connected by a hilt in the middle. Just seeing the shape of the sword blank is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Tiona's gaze was captivated by the weapon, and she felt a sudden flutter in her heart.
"interesting!"
Chun Kobrand grinned. "Little Welf, looks like we need to step up our game!"
"Yes!" Welf's eyes were filled with shock and determination, and a fierce fire and fighting spirit ignited in his heart. At least as a blacksmith, he did not want to lose to his opponent.
Time flew by, and both sides forgot everything else, focusing solely on the weapons they were forging.
More and more spectators flocked to the scene, blocking several streets and causing traffic congestion in the city, as countless people wanted to witness this historic moment.
Clever people build scaffolds on the outside, each layer higher than the last, just so they can get a glimpse of it.
We've reached the ninth hour.
"It's done!"
Chun Kobrand and Welf were the first to finish forging, taking out a blade that was entirely crimson, shimmering with light, and engraved with mysterious runes. Just from its appearance, one could tell that this piece of equipment was extraordinary.
It was like holding a ball of deep red flame.
"Miss Chun, I'm willing to pay five million falies for that piece of equipment!" an adventurer said.
Before he could finish speaking, he was nearly beaten to death by the others. Five million Fali was all he wanted to buy a Level 1 weapon. That amount of money wasn't even enough to cover the craftsmanship fee for Tsubaki Kobrand, one of Orario's most skilled blacksmiths.
"I'll offer twenty million fares!"
"Thirty million falies!"
The surroundings had turned into an auction house, with everyone bidding to acquire the Level 1 weapon.
"Haha, thank you all for coming, but this equipment was forged by me and Little Welf in cooperation, so it's not up to me to decide on my own," Tsubaki Kobrand laughed, declining the offer.
A hint of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Goddess Hephaestus, please take a look at this weapon, 'Flame Moon'!" Tsubaki Corbrand handed it over.
Goddess Hephaestus stroked the crimson blade, feeling a burning sensation. With a gentle swing, a deep red wave of flame erupted, and she couldn't help but praise, "Using firestone, orogen, and scales as materials, this is a mid-to-high level of first-tier weaponry. To forge this piece of equipment in such a short time is quite impressive."
Having gained the goddess's approval, Welf's face flushed red, and he excitedly punched the air with his fist, even though the weapon wasn't entirely his creation.
Chun Kobrand also smiled. Of course, her skill level was not limited to this, but this was the highest quality weapon she had created in ten hours.
It incorporates techniques passed down through generations of the Welf family, and even carries a hint of the characteristics of a magic sword.
If it were put up for auction, its value would not be less than 60 million fiatli, and most likely it would be 80 million fiatli.
All eyes turned to Roy.
Roy had never heard of forging before, and his sudden display of "divine skill" shocked countless people. However, he was facing "One-Eyed Master" Tsubaki Kobrand, a renowned T1-level blacksmith who had been famous for many years.
Roy remained engrossed in forging.
Even when Chun Kobrand and Welf presented their finished products, they could hardly attract his attention; this terrifying focus was truly frightening.
Since the forging began, Roy's eyes have never left his workbench.
Smelting, forging, shaping, sharpening—
Roy meticulously completed each step, working for nearly eight hours without a moment's rest, enough to suffocate even an ordinary LV.4 adventurer.
Only Roy's extraordinary durability and iron will allowed him to persevere.
"That's a troublesome guy."
Seeing this, a bead of cold sweat slid down Chun Cobrand's smooth forehead. It was her first time facing Roy, and she could generally understand the feelings of Roy's previous opponents.
Welf's eyes trembled. Compared to his verbal claim of treating weapons as companions and blindly adhering to so-called principles, Roy was the one who truly practiced this concept, infusing his passion and soul into the weapons.
Welf desperately wished that the figure was himself, but given his skill level, it was impossible.
Goddess Hephaestus shook her head inwardly. She had lost! At least in terms of the conflict of beliefs.
Time passed second by second.
Everyone held their breath in suspense for Roy. If he couldn't complete it within the allotted time, it would automatically fail, and even if Roy brought out more advanced weaponry, it wouldn't be of any use.
Both Tiony and Tiona could feel their hearts pounding faster in their chests.
Roy showed no sign of nervousness; his composure was truly admirable.
The final minute has begun.
Roy reached into the coolant and pulled out an extremely exaggerated weapon, a two-meter-long double-edged sword, one red and one yellow, with only the blades gleaming silver and flashing with a cold light.
