The Strongest War God - Chapter 168
168 Black Iron, Forged by the Northern King
Braydon Neal really enjoyed the forging process.
Tristan Yandell smiled bitterly. “Big Brother, using light and dark forces to refine weapons will hurt you. Take a break before you continue.”
“It’s fine, when a grandmaster-level blacksmith reaches king level, he can use his ability to offset the damage.”
Braydon said calmly.
!!
Tristan’s mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes.
Braydon was just rubbing it in his face about not being at the king level.
Old Man Zito pulled Kendrick Lua away and said in an unfriendly tone, “Refund the money!”
“Alright, I’ll give you the money later. Let me watch from the side. This is the first time I’ve seen a grandmaster blacksmith forge a weapon!” Kendrick was on the verge of tears.
Was he someone who lacked three hundred thousand dollars?
Even if he offered three million, he might not be able to get such a close view of a weapon forged by a grandmaster blacksmith, let alone three hundred thousand.
Kendrick also knew that this might be the only time in his life that he would be able to observe a grandmaster’s forging process up close.
Such an opportunity was extremely rare!
In the end, this old man who was missing a front tooth kept pestering him for money.
“Leslie, hurry up and get him the money.” Kendrick was on the verge of tears.
“Old man, do you have QRPay? I’ll transfer it to you!” Leslie was also a blacksmith. Now that he was able to watch a grandmaster forge a weapon, it was enough to influence his life.
“What’s QRPay?” Old Man Zito asked suspiciously. “I want cash!”
“You old thing, will you die if you don’t cause trouble? You’d better pray that you’re not one of the north’s hidden agents. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to kill you!”
Tristan could not take it anymore.
This old thing was really hard on people.
He was bullying the master and disciple in one breath.
The number of times Braydon had forged could be counted on one hand. It was a rare opportunity for blacksmiths like Kendrick to observe and learn from him up close.
Yet, Old Man Zito was still bullying him.
This old thing was too much!
Tristan’s eyes were not kind, and only then did Old Man Zito calm down.
As for whether or not he was a hidden agent from the north, only he knew in his heart.
Braydon spent the whole day refining weapons until the afternoon.
“Little Monkey, is the black iron I asked for here?” His thin lips moved.
“The Northern Imperial Guards sent it over one hour ago!” Tristan walked forward with a sandalwood box in his hands.
“Black iron?” Kendrick lost his voice.
“Master, is it that special forging material?” Leslie’s breathing became heavier.
For blacksmiths, other than ordinary iron ores, diamonds, copper, aluminum, and alloys, there were also special forging materials.
Black iron was one of them!
This special material was dark in color and faintly emitted a red light. It was extremely heavy, had a high melting point, and had magnetic force. After being sharpened, it could cut iron like mud.
However, in the thousands of years of history of ancient martial arts, the spiritual stones and spiritual herbs had long been picked clean.
This included the rare black iron ore.
As early as the year 220, they had been excavated by ancient martial arts practitioners.
Up until now, not even a single piece was left!
As a result, special forging materials such as black iron were extremely expensive, and their value was much more expensive than gold!
Gold at its peak was less than three hundred dollars per gram.
However, black iron, regardless of weight or quantity, was also in grams, and each gram was as high as one hundred thousand dollars!
That was the price.
The key was that it was difficult to buy it even if you had the money, and you needed special channels.
There were also forces like the north that could store such things.
Under everyone’s gazes.
Braydon’s fingers moved slightly, and he flicked open the sandalwood box, taking out a small piece of black iron.
It looked like a small black stone.
But it was 100 grams!
It was worth ten million dollars.
Just this material alone was worth ten million dollars.
However, a weapon forged by a grandmaster blacksmith would start at ten million dollars.
Now that the black iron was mixed in, the value of this black spear had been doubled.
Twenty million at the very least!
This was the expenditure of an ancient martial artist practitioner.
From ancient times until now, the poor studied literature while the rich practiced martial arts.
This was a typical example!
Without money, you could not even afford to use a weapon.
Braydon threw the black iron into the furnace and waited until midnight before the black iron began to melt.
Then, the black iron fused into the spear and took shape.
The black spear, after being sharpened, felt cold to the touch and weighed seventy pounds!
Braydon held the long spear, and at this moment, a shocking aura burst out from his thin body.
He held the long spear and swept through all the weapons in the house.
Crack!
In the room, the weapons hanging on the wall broke upon contact.
Braydon thrust his spear at the forging table.
Whoosh!
The tip of the spear glowed with a cold light and pierced through the entire forging platform. The thick iron plate could not block the sharp edge of the long sword.
It could cut through iron like mud!
The weapons forged by grandmaster blacksmiths could cut through iron like mud.
Not to mention the addition of black iron!
It made the spear even sharper.
“Fourth Uncle, try it and see if it’s good!” Braydon handed the spear over.
Liam Neal held the long spear and moved it slightly. He held the spear and stabbed it toward the door, directly penetrating it.
With such a sharp weapon, no ordinary martial artist would be Liam’s opponent.
He could kill the person in one move!
However, Liam’s strength was too low as he was not yet at the warrior level.
Even with such a weapon, it would be hard to kill a warrior-level martial artist.
After all, the speed, reaction speed, and fist strength of a warrior-level martial artist were all above that of a normal martial artist.
These were all rigid standards.
If he could not, he would not be able to become a warrior-level martial artist.
People like Logan Hall, who were good at fighting and had mastered light force, were even more difficult to kill.
“It feels good!” Liam nodded.
“Let’s call it the dragon gall spear. When Fourth Master Neal reaches the War God level, he’ll be able to use the real dragon gall spear!” Tristan said.
They all used cold swords, no one used guns.
Liam was cultivating the king-level technique, violent spear which required a long spear, so the dragon gall spear naturally belonged to him.
The group finished their work and left Kendrick Lua’s small courtyard.
The Neal family manor was brightly lit.
The head of the family, Louis Neal, had a helpless look on his face. His precious son had gone out for an entire day and had not returned.
Braydon had just been elected as the president of the Preston Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
Today, he should have taken up his post and called for a meeting to discuss the matters of each family.
Braydon had not returned home yet.
Old Master Younes Cross smiled bitterly in the bright hall. “Louis, it’s getting late. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“Uncle Younes, I’m going to teach Braydon a lesson.”
Louis stood up to send him off.
At the entrance of the bright hall, Logan’s group had already returned.
Braydon was a little surprised. He did not expect to have guests at home so late at night.
“Braydon, your Grandfather Younes has been waiting for you here the whole day,” Louis said.
“Grandpa Younes, please sit!” Braydon’s eyes were apologetic.
If he had known that Younes was coming today, he would not have left the house.
The Neal family was greatly indebted to Younes.
Someone brought freshly brewed tea, and Liam also joined them.
“I came today just to give some instructions regarding the Chamber of Commerce,” Younes said with a kind smile.
“Let Xandra temporarily take charge of the Chamber of Commerce. Although she’s young, she’s very capable. The Thomas family and the Sage family will each be given the position of vice president. I suggest that Joseph Thomas and Harold Sage take up the positions.”
Seeing that they were talking about serious business, Braydon gave his opinion.
