Forty-three Forging knife? Broken knife!
The room that Koshiro asked Zoro and Coz to clean up was actually a long-devoured knife workshop. After cleaning up the debris piled up outside the room, Coz pushed open the door.
What welcomed him was the old ash that surged towards the door due to sudden air circulation.
"Ahem cough cough"
Cos instinctively turned around and moved away from the door, slapped his right hand in front of him, trying to blow away the dust that was poured into his nose.
"Tsk~"
After seeing the bad situation in the room, Zoro couldn't help but start to be shocked.
Thick dust accumulates on the anvil and furnace inside, and various utensils and some wooden boards on the ground are scattered all over the ground, so it is definitely not an easy task to pack up.
However, after ventilating for a while, Coase and Zoro still covered their mouths and noses with cloth and entered the workshop to clean up.
The two of them were busy until the moon was over, and until they collapsed in the clean knife-making workshop due to hunger and fatigue, Koshiro did not come to ask them to have dinner.
Coase and Zoro first went to the kitchen and the restaurant, but neither saw the prepared meal nor Koshiro.
Zoro thought for a while and then walked firmly in one direction. After thinking for a while, Coase decided to follow.
Fortunately, even if you are a person, you won’t be able to tell the direction at home, so Zoro took Cos to a room. After pushing open the door, Koshiro was reading a book with a light on the lamp inside.
"You are like this again!"
Zoro was very skillful in getting angry.
Keishiro, who came to his senses, gently closed the book in his hand, looked at the hungry two people at the door with guilt and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was fascinated by accident."
Cose's eyes swept through the books scattered on the desk in front of Koshiro, and found that the books centered on Koshiro were strange stories, strange stories, and forging techniques.
It seems that Koshiro originally planned to read some related books to review the subsequent forging knife while the two were cleaning the knife workshop, but before they knew it, they gradually deviated from their original purpose.
"Okay, let's go out for a long time today!"
Koshiro stood up and stretched, preparing to make up for his mistakes with practical actions.
"I want to drink!"
Zoro also took the opportunity to make his own request.
"Bang"
Koshiro patted Zoro on the head, but did not directly reject the request he made.
"I'm really a little bit, but I can only drink a little bit."
"Okay!"
Zoro jumped up happily.
Koshiro looked at Cox again, "What about you? What do you want to eat?"
"I don't care, but I'll talk about it first. I won't drink."
Coase shrugged and responded.
"Hey! It's really disappointing."
Zoro looked at Cox with a little more contempt, as if Cox, who was not drinking, was born inferior.
Koshiro didn't say much, cleaned up a little and took the two of them out of the dojo for dinner.
The next day, because Koshiro gave the children a few days off yesterday, the temple was deserted after breakfast today.
Koshiro brought two disciples to the knife forging workshop that he had just cleaned up yesterday.
Coase and Zoro were responsible for adding fire to the bellows, while Koshiro placed the monster knife on the anvil and hit it with hammers.
At first, Coase didn't realize something was wrong, and it was not until he glanced at the furnace that was not burning vigorously in front of him that he understood what the problem was.
——The knife has not even fired, and Koshiro is just knocking!
Perhaps because he noticed Cox's sight, Koshiro explained while knocking on the monster knife: "The structure of this knife is really weird, and there should be several masters, both inside and outside, so it must be completely destroyed before it can be forged into a new knife."
As he said that, the tapping movements on Koshiro's hands became more and more rapid, and at the same time, Cox seemed to see many invisible lines extending out from the small hammer in Koshiro's hands and falling into the strange knife on the anvil.
"Ba"
A crisp and slight sound like a small piece of glass was broken by a hard sole, which was heard from the anvil.
Koshiro pointed his hand holding the hammer to the shelf beside a wall of the workshop and said to Cox: "Kos, go and take the box on the shelf over there."
Following the direction Koshiro pointed, Cox quickly found a thick square box with unknown material.
"Put on the ground"
Koshiro pointed at his feet and asked Cox to put the box there.
After Cox put the box as instructed, Koshiro gently picked up the strange knife placed on the anvil, put its flat "tip" into the box, and then gently flicked the index finger on the knife.
"Crazy"
The blade was intact at the last moment and instantly shattered into the largest piece of iron that was the nail of the little finger, and all fell into the box that Coase brought.
Then the box containing the broken iron sheets is sent to the furnace for calcination. After all the broken iron sheets are merged into one whole, Koshiro takes the box out of the furnace, cools it a little and pours out the iron blocks inside for forging.
After a certain amount of shaping, Koshiro sent the iron blocks into the furnace for heating. After heating to a certain extent, he took them out and beat them to shape them.
After repeated this, I don’t know how many times, a straight-edged sword with a blade of more than one meter long gradually showed shape during the strike.
After quenching and grinding, the assembly of the handle can only be carried out tomorrow.
At Koshiro's gesture, Cox wrapped the long knife without the hilt with a rag, and waved it a few times, and found that it was not as difficult as imagined.
He seemed to have a kind of feeling that when he swung a knife, the knife itself was also exerting force with him.
"It's not bad."
Koshiro looked at Cox with pride and said,
"Maybe this knife is not as good as a big fast knife like Hedaoyiwen, but I'm sure it is definitely the most suitable knife for you. When I shaped it, I took into account your force-explosion habits. Is it a kind of lightness that doesn't match the appearance?"
"really."
While nodding in agreement, Cox waved the long knife in his hand a few more times. This feeling really fascinated him, as comfortable as wearing brand new underwear on the first day of the New Year.
"It's just that the assembly of the handle is complete. It's time to give it a name. Since it's given to you, then you can get it yourself."
Koshiro looked at Coase with a smile.
After hearing this, Cos thought about the long sword with a thick and straight blade in his hand, which was three points longer than an average sword.
To be honest, he is not good at naming, and Shang Fang's name was just taken from a comedy movie meme, so this time he immediately thought about whether there were similar weapons in his memory.
"Just call it 'don't cloud'."
Coase said with a smile.
"'Don't know,' it sounds quite poetic, and it's a good name."
Koshiro nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with his work and gave it such a name.
Chapter completed!
