Chapter 15: Learn to forge

Abel nudged the dirt on the ground with his hand. There was no anti-skid powder, so he replaced it with dirt. This is the habit of Abel as a fitness coach. He won't slip when he has mud on his hands. Now his body is too young. He doesn't want to make a lot of injuries, so he should start with the details. Take care to protect your body bit by bit in your daily routine.
Abel stood in front of the 150-pound iron lock, with his legs standing close to the iron rod in the middle of the iron lock. The two hands held the iron rod with his mouth opposite each other. He lifted the iron lock from the ground over his head in a continuous motion, and his arms were completely straight on his head. .
The whole process of lifting was done in one go. Master Benthem gave a quiet whisper. Although it was only 150 pounds, Abel's movements were significantly smoother than Garden's.
The view of the Marshall Cavaliers on the other side is different. The iron lock that Abel lifted started from the feet, then passed through the legs, passed through the waist and the front, and finally reached the arms. This is somewhat the same as the energy storage in the Cavaliers technique. Abel can use this technique the first time he lifts an iron lock, and he has reached a very high level of understanding of power.
Throwing the 150-pound iron lock, Abel stood in front of the 200-pound iron lock again, and lifted it with the same posture.
Then came 250 pounds, passing easily. Under the stunned gaze of Master Benstom and Garden, Abel was standing next to the 300 pound iron chain that Garden had just lifted up.
Grasp the iron bar with both hands, this time with your hands closer than before, bend your legs to pre-squat, lift the iron lock, place the iron lock on your shoulders over your chest, and then stand; then hold the iron bar with both hands and bend The arm, jaw are parallel to the iron rod, the straight arm is pushed up, and the iron lock has been raised above the head.
"Marshall, where did you find the monster?" Master Benthem woke up in a dream, and asked the Marshall Knight.
"What is a monster? He is a fourth-level trainee knight. If the physical strength cannot lift 300 pounds, what a fourth-level trainee knight is." The Marshall Knight was very upset that the master called his adoptive son a monster, and directly put Abel's level. Speak it out.
"Fourth-level trainee knight, my deity, how old are you kid this year?" Master Bensum asked Abel in surprise.
"13 years old right away," Abel replied softly.
"That's the 12-year-old, 12-year-old trainee knight. Which guy is crazy, how could he give you such a baby as an adoptive son?" Master Bensham looked at the Marshall Knight scornfully.
"What's wrong with me, I'm an intermediate knight too, OK." Knight Marshall shouted loudly.
"You seem to have just entered an intermediate knight. Such a genius should be given to the knight captain to train, even if there is a big knight captain, he will accept such a disciple."
"You don't care, let him learn forging with you. No problem." Marshall Knight, who has been with Master Bensham for many years, doesn't want to care about the Master anymore. Because the Master is noble, if not Marshall Knight and the Master have an intimate relationship, please also Do not return to the territory of the master, and the master's one-on-one character always makes the Marshall Cavaliers feel big.
"Let him stay, Marshall, are you sure that you will teach him not to delay his future?" Master Benthem agreed again.
This sentence made the Knight of Marshall say to Abel: "You stay here during the day to learn from the master, and practice the knight skills at the castle sooner or later." Then some deserted and fled the smithy.
"Garden, you teach Abel some basics first." Master Benthem went to his workshop after finishing talking.
"Your strength is so strong," Garden praised, looking curiously at Aber, a small man.
"Your strength is also great." Abel was trained by the Cavaliers, but he can see that Garden is just an ordinary person, so the strength of Garden is really great.
"But I am much older than you. I am 19 years old, you are only 12 years old, and I watched it when you lifted 300 pounds. It was really easy. You should be able to lift a heavier iron lock." Say for sure.
"You just haven't fully exerted your strength. If you want to learn, I will teach you how to lift the chains like me when I have time."
"Really? Can I really learn that kind of technique?" Garden jumped up in excitement and turned back and said to Abel earnestly, "I will teach you to forge skills seriously, as long as I can, I will teach Give you."
...
It has been almost a month since I arrived at Harry Castle, and there are three days to go before the New Year. Abel has been studying in the smithy for almost a month.
With regard to forging techniques, Abel also learned all the basic skills from Garden. At the moment he is making his first great sword by himself, and he is going to give this great sword to his elder brother Zack as a New Year ’s gift.
The hot red block was clamped by Abel with iron pliers in one hand, and was beaten on an anvil with a 10-pound hammer in one hand. After dozens of rough blocks were hit, it slowly became cold. Throw the rough into the stove and heat again.
The smelting technology in this era is not high. Abel can understand that the blacksmith's job is to repeatedly beat the heated iron block, and then heat and beat it after cooling. The number of such repetitions reaches 30 times, which means that the iron is made 30 times. The 100 shaped long swords that Marshall Knight showed to Abel in the study were made of 100 iron blocks.
An ordinary blacksmith can only make 30 to 40 rough roughs at most. As a disciple of Master Gum, Garden can make 60 rough roughs. Only masters in the smithy can make 100 rough roughs.
This repeated tempering is not difficult for Abel to understand. After reading the science column, he knows that this tempering is only a means to remove the carbon in the rough. The more this kind of tempering, the less carbon is in the rough, and the better the quality of the rough.
The process of hitting the rough with the hammer for nearly a month has allowed Abel to master the skills of using the hammer. With his learning speed, he can already accurately grasp the position of the strike. The rough has been refined by him. It has been 50 times, and the roughened pieces that were tempered 50 times need to be strengthened with each strike, but Abel's hand is still very stable.
Not far away, Master Bensham silently looked at Abel. Although the master did not teach any knowledge of Abel during this time, the master has been paying attention to Abel, and Garden has been following the master for five years. Teaching Abel some basic skills is enough.
Looking at each movement of Abel when he hits the rough, Master Bensom always feels a strange fluency. Abel's speed is not fast. Every time he hits every second, it looks very easy. But the master knows that a hundred-pound hammer strikes hundreds of times, and most people can do it, but the number of times required to strike 50 exercises is different. But from the morning until noon, there is no stop, one strike per second. Beat constantly.
Abel's percussion method was he figured it out after practicing banging in this period of time. This is the same as punching in boxing. According to some tests, heavy punches in boxing are the strongest of all boxing methods. That is because of boxing. The body uses the body as a transmission medium for power, not just the power of the arm.
And now Abel's way of hitting the rough is like this. He didn't use too much power for each hit, and brought the power from the foot to the body, and finally to the arm, driving the hammer to hit it, and then using the rebound force of the hammer. As long as a little force is added, the hammer is raised to the original height, and then the next cycle is performed. This kind of tapping is actually not very laborious, but this technique is difficult to master, and Abel also found that as long as there is a theory Based on this, his body can make corresponding actions.
If this child is not an apprentice knight, why is such a talented blacksmith doing those beatings and killings, with Abel's learning ability and current level, as long as he learns in his hands for several years, he will definitely become The new master blacksmith, Master Benstom, was tangled.
After forgetting to eat, Abel finally turned the rough into 80 drills at 2 pm, and then he could not refine the rough, because even if he tried his best, the rough drills in 80 were hard to beat. Already.
