Shaking the World

In the last row of seats near the entrance of the main hall, twelve geniuses from the Imperial School of Magic and Martial Arts sat on chairs, all in casual postures.

However, the expressions on the faces of the 11 people except Eliza were very serious.

Their expressions have been maintained since they noticed the cloaked boy.

What is the reason that makes them behave like this?

It's stress!

An invisible pressure, the pressure from the cloak boy, the pressure from a peer!

Not only Payne, who had reached the middle stage of the fourth level of fighting qi, but even Fred, who was at the fifth level, felt unprecedented pressure from that young man. oppression!

Except in their own academy, they have never met peers who can create such a sense of oppression for them.

Although they don't know the exact age of each other, there will never be too much difference!

"Fred, what grade is this guy...?"

Payne, who was sitting next to Fred, asked.

Fred frowned and pursed his lips tightly. After hearing Payne's words, he shook his head and sighed, "Better than me."

After a pause, he added: "No worse than those guys."

The guys that Fred mentioned are those who are in the first echelon among the freshmen of the college, and Fred can only be regarded as the top students in the second echelon. their own performance.

Fred's words made Payne's eyes widen, and he lost his voice: "Is that kid really that strong? Could it be that he is from Naluo?"

If there are really such strong freshmen in Naluo College, then their fellowship this time may not be as high-profile as those of their seniors, because those seniors who have participated in the fellowship before said that they can fight a group when they go to Naluo!

But if the boy just now was Na Luo's freshman, even if they were singled out, they might not be his opponents.

"Then I don't know, maybe it is, but the dress looks very different, and there is an old man beside him, he doesn't look like a college student." Fred said.

When Payne heard this, he nodded in agreement.

......

At this time on the auction stage, Tim had already started to introduce the second auction item.

This time Tim didn't hold back, and directly lifted the black cloth covering the lot.

Immediately, a glaring weapon appeared in front of everyone. It was a long-handled war hammer with a handle about 1.5 meters long. The head of the hammer was a cylinder with a very simple shape.

According to Tim, this hammer is called Bright Silver Hammer because its whole body is made of bright silver.

Brilliant silver is a rare metal, but it is different from silver. Its hardness is very high. The hardness of rough bright silver is comparable to steel ingots. The refined bright silver is even harder than black iron, and has good toughness.

However, although bright silver is a rare material and its metallic properties are not bad, its value is not high because this metal has no magical properties.

A metal, no matter how good its material properties are, as long as it is not magical, it can only be regarded as an ordinary metal, because it cannot be used to make magic equipment.

Without magic, the value of bright silver is reduced to ordinary.

However, although the value of bright silver is not high, what is placed on the booth at this time is a top-notch silver weapon!

Because, it came from the hands of a famous dwarf craftsman in the mainland!

"I think everyone should have heard of Kimberly Tobias, the top blacksmith of the dwarves. One day after the empire opened trade with the dwarves, some equipment with a special imprint of the dwarves flowed into the human race. In the market, people didn't care about it at first, and no one noticed it, but in a public duel, when a person cut off the top silver weapon spear in the opponent's hand with a silver weapon sword, people started Note the imprint, and the caster of these gear - Kimberly Tobias.

Tim's right thumb lightly stroked a part of the hammer handle. There was indeed a mark there, but it was difficult for people to see clearly because of the color.

Kimberly Tobias, although the dwarf blacksmith does not live in the empire, his reputation is well-known in the empire, because the equipment made by master Kimberly Tobias, no matter what grade, as long as it is made of the same material The strength of the completed equipment is more than one level stronger than other equipment!

This fact shocked almost everyone.

People thought that Kimberly Tobias had found a formula that could greatly increase the strength of metals. Some blacksmiths even went to buy equipment with Kimberly Tobias's imprint and studied it.

But in the end they got nothing. Even if they recast the equipment, they didn't find any special substances in it.

In the end, those who failed to research believed that it should be because Kimberly Tobias's refining skills were too exquisite.

A blacksmith not only needs to be able to build equipment, but also to extract and refine metal raw materials is an essential skill.

Among them, metal refining is the most important step, and the quality of refining directly affects the quality of metal products.

Almost all kinds of metals on the mainland are extracted from ores, and then they can be used as materials for forging weapons and equipment after multiple refining processes. Every metal can be refined multiple times to improve its quality, which is the same as pig iron being smelted into steel. There is a reason.

Blacksmiths have their own set of refining methods, so the same metal, in the hands of different blacksmiths, will produce finished metal ingots of different quality. Equipment made of high-quality metal ingots is of course more popular .

Therefore, even if a blacksmith obtains rare ores, he may not be able to forge high-quality equipment, and ordinary metals may not necessarily be able to forge high-quality equipment.

The key role in this is the blacksmith!

According to legend, before the Dragon War, the major races in the mainland had developed to an extremely prosperous stage. At that time, holy wars and holy wizards were not the pinnacle of force. The pinnacle of the mainland's force was called "Guardian". It is an existence that can compete with the strong in the dragon family!

And before the enchantment circle was created, the blacksmiths, in addition to forging equipment, were devoted to the refining of metal raw materials. Their goal was to be able to use the weapons they created to cut through fighting spirit and cut off magic!

After generations of hard work, people have developed the refining process of metals to a peak. The most outstanding of them is the dwarves. The dwarves have a morbid paranoia about metals. They even combine refining and forging. Get up and get better.

Until the appearance of the enchanted magic circle, other races began to shift their focus to the magic circle that could improve the powerhouse even more, and the dwarves never gave up their exploration of metal refining.
