Chapter 196 The shield is out!
But even so, Qi Yu still felt it was expensive. After all, if all the 30 gold coins were used to buy life crystals, he could buy five of them.
But to be honest, although Master Lin’s business is a bit expensive, his strength and skills are unquestionable.
Master Lin walked to the work area with two things in his hand. With a mechanical sound, a shining furnace was pushed out from the wall at the side.
The style of this furnace is very out of tune with the dirty and messy environment next to it. The entire furnace body is natural and exquisitely carved, and it sparkles under the light of the fire inside.
"Titanium furnace?" Qi Yu had a guess in his heart, and then asked subconsciously.
Master Lin looked at Qi Yu with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you are quite knowledgeable and even know about the titanium furnace."
Then he changed the subject and sighed softly, "What a pity! If you were not one of them, I would really like to keep you as an apprentice."
"Their people? Who?" Although Master Lin spoke in a low voice, the two were still quite close at the time, so Qi Yu still heard what he said and asked in confusion.
Master Lin paused, his eyes turned, and then he pointed at the wood element robe on Qi Yu and said, "Wood Element Academy, who else could it be?"
After that, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going to start working, don't disturb me. My products are all on the shelf over there. If you want anything, just look at it."
As he spoke, he pointed to a shelf beside him. Qi Yu looked in the direction he pointed and saw a large shelf standing on the ground, covered with a red cloth, which was covered with dust and mineral debris.
Qi Yu walked over slowly, gently lifted the red cloth, and checked what was underneath.
Seeing that Qi Yu's attention had been successfully diverted by him, Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his attention back to the work at hand.
Soon the room was filled with the sound of foundry hammers hitting anvils. Qi Yu ignored the "ding-dong" sounds and continued to look at the shelf in front of him.
After all, coming here to buy some life-saving equipment was also the purpose of his trip.
Qi Yu looked up and saw all kinds of things on the shelves, from accessories to weapons and equipment, everything you could think of.
Qi Yu used the system to identify each item one by one and looked at the panel attributes of these items. However, he found that although there were many types of items, most of them were mediocre.
What about iron shackles with +1 defense, copper shields with +3 defense, arm guards that can slightly increase damage reduction, fireflies in a bottle that can glow in the dark...
Qi Yu took them one by one in his hand to identify them, and then put them back on the shelf one by one. He repeated this dozens of times until he put the last item back and sighed helplessly.
He said to Master Lin, who was swinging the forging hammer vigorously, with some disappointment: "Master Lin, do you have any other equipment?"
"Ziz-ziz--" a puff of white smoke accompanied by the sound of metal cooling came out of the quenching bucket. At this time, Master Lin was holding a large iron tongs, staring at the shield in his hand, and said without turning his head:
"What? Are those equipments not enough for an apprentice like you? In my opinion, the dangers you may encounter as a wood elemental apprentice can be dealt with by your grass sword. There is no need to rely on other external forces."
Master Lin looked at the Holy Cross Ring in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it into the titanium furnace. Then, while he used the large pliers to feel the changes in the material, he spoke:
"If you rely too much on external forces, it will not be of any benefit to your own strength. You should focus on training your own strength. A good ironmaker must be strong himself!"
Qi Yu naturally understood this principle, but the danger he was facing now was not something an apprentice should face. This was only the case with Qi Yu. If someone else had experienced the same thing, they would have been dead long ago.
And this trip to the Fire Element Academy is naturally full of dangers, so he must seize every opportunity and leave a backup plan for himself.
So Qi Yu said, "Master Lin, I just want a few trump cards that can save my life. As the saying goes, life is unpredictable, and I never know when I will be in danger, right?"
"So please help me, Master Lin." Qi Yu said to Master Lin with a sincere look on his face.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly came from the titanium furnace not far away. Along with the roar of dragons, dazzling golden light shot out from the furnace. The sacred energy spread in all directions like a tide. It was like a sleeping beast suddenly awakened.
Qi Yu was standing aside with a look of surprise on his face. He stretched out his hand to block the dazzling golden light. On the other hand, Master Lin on the side did not show any surprise at all. He just calmly inserted the big iron tongs into the furnace.
As the iron pliers trembled slightly, the originally violent divine energy seemed to be suppressed by something and slowly stabilized. The soul-stirring dragon roars also gradually disappeared.
Seeing that the movement in the furnace had calmed down, Qi Yu took off his hand that was blocking the light, and then looked into the furnace. He saw a small liquid ball emitting a gilded light, slowly rotating, and above it there was a faint shadow of a golden dragon circling.
Master Lin shook his wrist and exerted force with the pliers in his hand, and the liquid ball flew out of the furnace and landed on top of the cobalt blue knight's shield.
Qi Yu didn't know how Master Lin managed to pick up the liquid metal ball with a pair of pliers. He had a vague feeling that the pliers in Master Lin's hand were definitely not ordinary items.
“Although this ring is broken, the energy contained inside is enough to take your shield to the next level.” After Master Lin said this, he swung up the forging hammer and hit the shield hard.
With each blow, the small ball began to deform and gradually merged into the shield through the repaired crack.
As the repair work continued, the entire shield began to emit a faint glow, and sacred auras entered it like a dragon crossing the sea, and from time to time, dragon roars and knocking sounds could be heard.
Qi Yu was standing aside at this time, having been stunned by this scene. However, Master Lin, who was doing all this, turned a blind eye to these strange visions and just kept hammering the forging hammer in his hand with a firm look in his eyes, not looking away.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Qi Yu came back to his senses from this bizarre scene, the forging was almost finished.
As the last hammer fell, the light and shadow on the entire shield suddenly retreated, as if the strange phenomena just now had never happened.
