Chapter 77 More money is needed! (Please pursue reading, monthly tickets and book recommendations)

 “Golden Warhammer Terra?”

These appraisers and blacksmiths looked at each other, obviously they had never heard of such a person.

 As a craftsman, it is impossible for the Lord Golden Warhammer to be so unknown if he has grown to this point.

 But they looked at each other to confirm that they were indeed people they had never heard of.

"Your Excellency Terra, do you want to auction this master knight's sword that you spent countless efforts forging?"

 The president of Shining Auction asked respectfully.

The Lord Terra in front of me is not only superb in forging skills, but his own strength cannot be underestimated. The opponent is most likely a person of great influence.

 The president is extremely cautious. After all, without the support of a big force, how could one cultivate a master craftsman? This requires a large amount of iron and money, as well as rare forging talent.

 Since the death of Fire Hammer, there has been no craftsman-level figure for a long time, so this golden war hammer Terra, who suddenly appeared, attracted so much attention from them.

“Yes, I want to auction, and I also want to cooperate with your auction. From now on, I will auction a batch of master-level weapons and equipment that I personally built here every month.”

Li Wei said that he planned to release some in batches, and the amount at one time would not be too much.

 After all, even if you are a master craftsman, your output will not be too high, and if you release too much, you will easily be suspected.

 Besides, things are rare and expensive. If you release too much at once, it is easy to depreciate the value of your own craftsmen. It is better to keep the steady flow and gradually build up your reputation.

"Okay, okay, okay! Your Excellency Tyra, I am honored to cooperate with you. In order to express the sincerity of our auction, I will apply to the above. In the future, when Your Excellency Tyra comes to Shining Tavern, we will give away free admission tickets, and the auction We will also give you a corresponding discount on the handling fee.”

"However, before signing the contract, we need to conduct the necessary assessment on Lord Terra. This assessment is only to confirm that the knight's sword was forged by Lord Terra, and there is no malice or disrespect to Lord Terra. , I hope Lord Terra doesn’t mind.”

Li Wei naturally agreed. He made his own forgings little by little and was not afraid of inspection.

 He was taken to a blacksmith shop privately owned by the Shining Tavern by the auctioneers.

 Then he deliberately slowed down his forging rhythm and efficiency, and imitated a normal craftsman to create a knight's sword that was exactly the same as before. This sword was named Autumn Color by Li Wei.

Together with Huguang, they were handed over to the auction.

In the end, Li Wei's forging skills were deeply impressed by these hesitant staff. They couldn't help but applaud and signed a contract with Li Wei on the spot.

In this way, Levi has found a stable sales channel for his future forged products. If he can make a name for himself and have a stable channel like Shining Tavern all over the continent, then the Wild Boar Rider will be dispensable. , Levi can consider settling the score with the Hog Rider. Old Toby must have gained experience with the Hog Rider, and it is time for him to go home.

 In the evening, the Shining Auction was held as scheduled.

There are no breathing techniques or precious materials that Levi wants among the items in this auction.

The purpose of his staying here is to see with his own eyes whether the long sword he forged is good for sale.

After a while of warm-up, Levi's knight's sword was brought to the stage by the auctioneer. The beautiful auctioneer had a graceful figure and raised her tone, saying: "Now, let me solemnly introduce to you the exclusive craftsman of this auction. The knight's sword forged by Lord Terra, the golden hammer of the master: the light of the lake and the colors of autumn!"

"These two knight long swords are forged from fine iron. They were forged by Lord Terra after 21 days of hard work and hard work. In terms of quality, they are comparable to the legendary craftsman Flame Hammer!"

 Just after he finished speaking, the people below were in an uproar.

 “What? Master craftsmen? Are there still master craftsmen in this era?”

“Who is the Golden Warhammer? As an official blacksmith, I have never heard of this person in the industry! He must be a liar!” a bearded blacksmith buzzed.

I see many people who don’t believe it at all.

The beautiful auctioneer took out a long sword forged by the Flame Hammer, and randomly selected many knight-level experts or formal forgers from the guests at the scene. They had a better grasp of the quality of the knight's long sword. Precisely, the bearded blacksmith was also invited to the stage.

After some comparison, these people found that in terms of external qualities, there seemed to be little difference between the two swords and the Flame Hammer sword.

This made the bearded blacksmith's spirited spirit rise. "The quality of a knight's sword cannot be judged by its appearance alone. I think that since it is a long sword, it should be tested in actual combat."

Seeing that the bearded man was dissatisfied, the beautiful auctioneer was not angry, but said with a smile: "Since this gentleman is also a blacksmith, then take out the long sword forged by you, and the Lake Light Sword forged by our Lord Golden War Hammer, and hand them over respectively. How about giving the two knights here a real fight?"

 Shushushua.

 Suddenly countless eyes focused on the bearded man. He coughed, unable to get off the tiger, so he could only bite the bullet and hum: "Just try it, whoever is afraid of you."

 Then, the Huguang Sword and the sword forged by Big Beard were handed over to two formal knights with similar strength, and the sword fight began on the stage.

Ping ping ping pong, crackle!

 For a time, everyone watched a wonderful sword fight at the auction site for free.

 Finally, along with a clicking sound, there seemed to be a cracking sound.

Everyone looked at the sword in response and saw that the sword forged by the bearded man had been curled slightly, and there were even cracks that were not easily noticeable.

"How...how is this possible?" The bearded man looked in disbelief.

"Your lake is definitely not made of ordinary refined iron. I think it is made of mithril! This is cheating!" he continued.

 The auction was tested as he wished. After the final test, the result was 100% fine iron without any trace of mithril.

Levi sneered in his heart in the background: "If I have mithril, why would I sell it? Isn't it good for me to use?"

 In the end, everyone had to admit that this knight's sword was indeed unusual.

 The bearded man left the auction with his sword dejectedly amid the auctioneer's smile.

It is obviously made of the same material as other blacksmiths, but this long sword has reached the pinnacle level. It is too exaggerated to cut iron like clay, but if it is a knight's long sword of average quality, it will be in a confrontation with the knight's long sword forged by this golden war hammer. In the collision, it won't take long for the ordinary knight's long sword to have some slight damage such as curling blades and gaps. This is caused by the difference in the degree of utilization and development of the same materials between master-level blacksmiths and ordinary blacksmiths. of.

In the end, with great enthusiasm, these two brand-new knight long swords were auctioned for a total of fifty gold, including thirty gold for the lake light and twenty gold for the autumn color.

You must know that a normal knight's long sword only costs about one gold coin, and the price difference is huge.

To be honest, even if the quality of this long sword is much higher than that of an ordinary long sword, it is definitely not worth thirty gold. The main premium is the value bonus from the craftsman.

Being able to own a knight's long sword forged by a craftsman is something that many nobles and knights talk about, as can be seen from everyone's enthusiasm for the Hammer of Fire.

 But after all, Fire Hammer was a person from a long time ago, and the handed down works he left behind are scattered throughout the kingdom, and there are not enough points at all, so the price keeps getting higher and higher. Moreover, iron products will oxidize and rust, so the newer the sword, the higher its value.

Li Wei looked at all this with satisfaction and got his share of gold coins.

"Master Terra, there are many nobles and knights who want to contact you through us and ask you for customization." said the staff of the Shining Auction.

 “I don’t have time, so I don’t customize it individually.” Levi said.

 “What if he adds more money?” the staff asked.

"That... is fine, but the number of people should not be too large. It's up to you to decide. Anyway, my forged objects are all handed over to you for processing. As for whether they are auctioned or customized, I don't care." Li Wei said.

 After saying that, Levi left the Shining Tavern in a hurry.

 The news of the birth of a new craftsman quickly spread throughout Icewind City.

I believe that as time goes by, the name of the Golden War Hammer Terra will spread throughout the Emerald Kingdom through word of mouth by bards and knights.

 Li Wei found a small hotel in Icewind City and stayed temporarily.

 He took out the books on the linguistics and customs of the Tuva Empire that he had bought and started to read them.

 After finally reading through it, Levi opened the proficiency panel.

His face darkened: "Not really?"

 Eventually, Levi re-examined many books.

  It is basically confirmed that the dream of quickly mastering the Tuva language through experience has been shattered.

 But he still decided to go to the Tuva Empire in person, hoping to get enough ambergris at once to allow him to break through to the Great Knight.

 It’s just that you need a guide.
