Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 38: Rage
In the dark night, there was the sound of hammering and sparks flying.
The red stove continued to burn, and Marvin was adding charcoal into it with a dusty face.
“You put too much!”
"The higher the flame temperature, the better!"
Once Sheen starts working, his temper becomes extremely bad.
Although this guy is a human, his temper is very similar to that of a dwarf. He has a bad temper when he is forging iron, and he also likes to drink.
In this strange demiplane, Marvin, as his apprentice, is the only one he can command.
He can only bear it silently!
Because this is his advancement task, as a poor blacksmith apprentice, he follows Sheen to learn blacksmith skills for a year!
Changes had already taken place in his task panel. The previous tasks had been completed and 1,500 general experience points had been credited.
What is displayed now is the second stage of the advanced phase of the task, the reward is 2000 general experience points and the qualification to enter the next round.
I have to say, this task is really a torture!
For a whole year, Marvin could only follow Sheen and help him with work.
Except for the necessary rest and meal time, Marvin spends most of his time with the stove and the hammer!
The old blacksmith did not bluff him.
This task is an outrageous test of one's patience!
Fortunately, Marvin is also a very ruthless man!
Now that you have accepted this task, you cannot give up halfway!
It's not that he doesn't know about other ways for rangers to advance besides Night Walker.
But he had a conflict with the old blacksmith!
This guy cursed Marvin all day long, saying that Marvin was like a woman and weak.
A real man should pick up a hammer and forge his own weapon!
Marvin didn't comment on this, but he still did it silently!
My physical condition is indeed too weak.
Strength is also lacking.
Blacksmithing can indeed provide some degree of exercise.
Time passed day by day. In the first month, Marvin was still able to patiently follow the blacksmithing.
In the third month, he began to become extremely irritable. When the old blacksmith scolded him, he started to talk back, using all kinds of swear words, which sometimes made Sheen speechless.
After half a year, he was completely numb. Japanese service was just repeating the work given by the old blacksmith!
He didn't even bother to see what those jobs were!
In his eyes, all kinds of ores are similar, and all kinds of iron wrought techniques are not much different.
He is a lord. Once he leaves this damn place, he will probably never touch anything in the blacksmith shop in his life.
However, even so, with daily training, Marvin not only acquired a living profession - [Blacksmith], but also his experience points increased rapidly.
He did not allocate any experience to this profession, but when this terrible year was about to end, Marvin still upgraded the blacksmith profession to [Intermediate]!
If Marvin remembered correctly, the best blacksmith in the entire White River Valley was only at the intermediate level!
"This is hilarious. I've become an intermediate blacksmith."
"There aren't that many iron lords in the whole of Fenan!"
He secretly complained in his mind.
The clanging sounds kept ringing in Marvin's ears, and he even felt a little nervous!
In the last month, Sheen did not teach Marvin other blacksmithing skills, but started to make a weapon himself.
Ma Wen was standing by and could only help out.
He now had only one thought in mind, which was to get through this damn apprenticeship period as soon as possible!
He had only been in Fenan for a short time, but he had unexpectedly spent a full year in this demiplane of the Night King!
If time didn't flow at a different speed, Marvin wouldn't do such an inefficient thing.
And it's boring.
"Don't look around, little brat. There's nothing to see here."
"Hurry up and throw that lava rock over here!"
"And the scroll, yes, it's on the shelf behind you!"
Faced with Sheen's instructions, Marvin has become numb and can only carry out his orders silently.
As time went by, the weapon forged by Sheen seemed to be gradually taking shape.
But later on, he simply left Marvin aside and let him practice his blacksmithing skills by the edge of another furnace.
Marvin had no choice but to do as he was told.
"What is this old guy doing in such a mysterious way?"
Marvin thought boredly as he forged the crudest ore.
…
Time passed by in this boring exercise.
On the last day, Sheen called Marvin over to the stove.
On the weapons table, there was a vague object.
But it was covered with a cloth.
Xien said wearily, "Congratulations, kid. Your apprenticeship is over."
"You managed to hold on for a year. Young people nowadays don't have the mentality of you."
Nonsense... Marvin secretly complained in his heart. He was not the kind of young man with a restless mind. Of course, he knew that although the test given by Xien was boring, it was beneficial to him without any harm!
During the one-year blacksmithing process, Marvin grew from 14 to 15 years old and looked more mature.
Most importantly, his biceps and pectoralis major muscles have become much more bulging, and he seems to have grown a little taller.
The data is the most intuitive. During this year's training, his strength increased by 1 point and his physique increased by 2 points!
After a year of training, I can actually gain 3 attribute points!
Marvin is not a fool. The blacksmithing skills that Sheen taught him are definitely not ordinary forging techniques.
It must include some secret methods to train physical fitness and strength, and only in this way can such a powerful effect be achieved.
3 attribute points. If you count based on upgrades, you need to upgrade to level 6 to get this effect!
Although everything cannot be converted so simply, completing Sheen's test is a small improvement in Marvin's strength!
At least his physical condition has improved a lot and he is not so fragile anymore!
As for the 2,000 general experience points, they came at the right time. He was facing advancement and was in the most need of experience.
Generally speaking, advanced tasks will have three steps. If you have completed two of them, you can advance after completing the third one.
At that time , a lot of experience must be consumed to activate all the abilities of the advanced profession!
Marvin didn't want to be in the embarrassing situation where he completed the advancement task but didn't have the experience required to pay for the advancement.
…
"Patience is a necessary quality for night walkers."
"As a reward for your patience, I give this to you. Regardless of whether you can eventually gain the Night King's recognition and become a Night Walker, this is my gift to you."
Sheen pointed to the object on the weapons stand.
Marvin was stunned.
He didn't expect that the thing Sheen spent a whole year to create was actually for him!
Although I have been helping him, I also know how much precious materials and effort Sheen has spent to create this item!
"Don't just stand there, kid." Sheen snorted, "This may be the last magical item I make in my life."
Magic items!
Marvin's eyes lit up!
He couldn't wait to lift up the blue cloth!
A scimitar was lying quietly underneath!
The scimitar is red in color, the blade is extremely sharp, but the handle feels very warm to hold.
"Is this the effect of the lava rock?"
Marvin held the scimitar in his hand and quietly felt the power of the scimitar.
"Its name is [Raging Fire]." Sheen looked at his work with a hint of satisfaction, "I dare say that even the items made by those dwarf masters are no better than this."
Marvin nodded. After a simple reconnaissance, the properties of the scimitar were revealed:
【Rage Spreads Across the Field】:
Quality: Magic
Attack: 13-18
Effect 1: Armor Break +7
Effect 2: Shatter +7
Additional spell: [Raging Fire] (once per day)
Additional spell: [Arcane Missiles] (three times a day)
…
Magic weapons !
The first magical item Marvin obtained since traveling through time.
And it is a very sharp scimitar!
At this moment, his mood could no longer be described as excited.
"I..." He was about to thank Sheen for the gift, but the old man turned his face and said, "Take the things and leave!"
"Opening the Night King's demiplane consumes a lot of energy!"
He then pulled Marvin and quickly left [Eternal Night Paradise].
The two reappeared in the basement and walked into the blacksmith shop.
It was late at night and everything was quiet. Nothing had changed, after all, only one day had passed.
However, Marvin felt as if he was in another world.
"Let's go. Cheer up." Sheen suddenly urged, "The final stage of the test is about to begin."
"You need to go through the baptism of the Night King!"
"We must enter the Thousand Leaves Forest immediately. Follow me!"
