Chapter 392: Speak with Hammers

Chapter 392: Speak with Hammers

King Goban’s smithing is in the orthodox dwarven style.

His chosen material was adamantite. Refined adamantite to be used to make a single sword.

Of course, the repeated folding sword steel method like that in Japan wasn’t used.

In the workshop, a skilled blacksmith took up his hammer.

The rhythmic sound of hammering metal.

The lump of adamantite in the magic furnace changed shapes.

A longsword was being forged in front of me.Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m

Heated many times over, the impurities were hammered out, and the metal structure was being adjusted with each temper.

It would seem that the titles of the only two people dubbed with the title of God Craft in the country was not just for show, and in this place, it would be completed by tomorrow.

King Goban hammered the longsword in a day, corrected it with Smithing Magic and a file, and tomorrow he would quench it.

Even with magic metals, the hardening process by way of quenching didn’t change. However, the temperature at which it is heated to is by each craftsman’s eyes.

On the day of quenching, the lights illuminating the special magic furnace room were all extinguished, and only the fire from the furnace dimply lit the surroundings.

The heated blade glowed orange. King Goban watched the timing and finished it by rapidly cooling the blade through quenching. The lights were turned back on, and from the look on King Goban’s face, he was satisfied with the sword he forged.

「All that is left is to make minute adjustments and sharpen it. If you accept defeat, do it immediately.」

「Haha, I do not want to make Golan-san lose face, so I will do my best.」

「Takumi.」

「Ah, yes.」

While I was gazing at the sword, Golan-san called out to me. I handed Golan-san the sword.

「......it’s even more perfect than before. It’s a success.」

「Thank you very much.」

「I will help with the Enchantment.」

「Please do, Golan-san.」

While Golan-san and I were reveling in satisfaction, King Goban yelled out.

「Wh- what’s with that swordーー!! Moreover, you barely even touched the hammerーー!!」

Having witnessed the sword created practically with magic and a never-before-seen hamon emerge on the single edged sword, Goban-san could not hold it in and screamed.

「Ignore that loud one, let’s talk about the enchantments to grant it.」

「Umm...... is that fine?」

「Yeah, the match has been decided. The sword he made is exactly the same level as it was a decade ago. He made no progress at all. At that point, that was his loss. Now then, let’s hurry up and go.」

Golan-san pulled me by the arm and headed out the room, and from behind us, I could hear King Goban screaming.
