System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 883: Chapter 273: Celebrities of Kakasong City (10,000 Words) (Part 4)

In the scorching summer, one still has to work by the kiln and engage in forging.

The work of a blacksmith truly can’t be sustained without a robust physique.

As Lynn completes the preparations and starts to forge.

Ehrelo approaches with a team surrounding him.

Ehrelo bows to Lynn and says, "Master, two hundred apprentices with some forging experience have been dispatched here."

Lynn’s gaze shifts to the space behind Ehrelo.

There, several apprentices are staring at him with wide eyes.

Their faces are full of confusion and curiosity.

Facing the eyes of the blacksmith apprentices, Lynn’s expression is calm, and he speaks with composure.

"Ehrelo has assigned you here to observe my process of producing serrated scythes."

"Once I finish production, you will need to start large-scale production."

"I need a large quantity of serrated scythes for the imminent summer harvest!"

Upon hearing this.

Both Ehrelo and the many blacksmith apprentices gain understanding.

Lynn does not waste words.

His left hand uses tongs to clamp the iron block fixed on the anvil, and his right hand picks up the iron hammer and directly begins forging.

As Lynn’s iron hammer falls, a series of crisp metallic collision sounds emerge.

Accompanied are bursts of impurities splashing from the iron ore.

...

Bit by bit, the experience rapidly increases.

The memory and experience of forging serrated scythes also surface in Lynn’s mind.

And begin to quickly merge.

The craftsmanship of creating serrated scythes is not considered intricate.

It can even be said that it differs little from crafting traditional sickles.

Select an appropriately sized iron block, heat it, and begin preliminary forging.

Through constant hammering, make the iron block deform evenly.

While removing impurities from the iron ore, increase the density of the iron block.

Forge the impurity-free iron ore into the shape of a blade, spine, and handle.

On the preliminarily formed sickle blade, use iron chisels and hammers to etch the outline of serrations at specific intervals and shapes.

According to the memory in his mind.

Lynn chisels serrations on the blade with an interval of 0.5 centimeters and a height of 1 centimeter.

Clang~ Clang~

Contrary to forging sickles, chiseling serrations is an extremely meticulous and time-consuming procedure.

Only sufficient patience and skill can ensure the serration’s shape is neat, size uniform, and angle with the blade appropriate.

Only then can the serrated scythe efficiently harvest crops.

Under the gaze of many blacksmith apprentices.

Lynn’s technique transitions from unfamiliar to skilled and natural...

Ehrelo found this nothing out of the ordinary.

Because in the year they’ve spent together, he’s seen various skillful productions by Master Lynn as if performing arts.

However.

Even seeing it yet again, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.

In Ehrelo’s view, Master Lynn is practically a forging genius!

Not delving deeper into the forging industry is truly a shame.

Some blacksmith apprentices not so familiar with Master Lynn see him forging so expertly.

Moreover, within his forging, an unprecedented scythe gradually takes shape.

Their eyes toward Master Lynn become ever more admiring and reverent.

Other lords inherited titles or lands to become lords.

In their view, such lords, apart from having a bit of luck.

Their abilities might even be lesser than theirs.

Yet, Master Lynn is different.

Master Lynn can personally demonstrate and teach them to craft iron tools!

The loyalty value increases bit by bit.

Two hours later.

After chiseling out each serration, Lynn proceeds to the fine processing stage.

He first picks up a coarse grinding stone for initial polish, removing burs and unevenness left from forging.

Then uses a fine grinding stone for detailed polish, ensuring the blade edge and serrations reach ideal sharpness!

After polishing the edge, it’s time for handle refining.

After polishing and refining, it’s on to quenching and tempering heat treatment.

Quenching enhances the sickle’s hardness and strength.

Tempering effectively reduces the brittleness of the serrated scythe, heightening its toughness.

The two complement each other.

Lastly, it’s time for rust prevention treatment for the serrated scythe.

Lynn picks up a brush from the forging table, applies a layer of grease, and spreads it over the surface of the serrated scythe.

Using this to prevent rusting!

Only now is the entire forging process thoroughly completed.

Lynn finds a sturdy wooden piece of arm-width as the handle for installation and fixation.

Thus, a complete serrated scythe is produced.

Lynn slightly feels the weight of the serrated scythe, less than one pound, feeling virtually weightless.

But it’s most suitable for reaping barley.

It can minimize farmers’ physical exhaustion as much as possible.

With a thought, a text panel appears before him.

[Ordinary Serrated Scythe]: Crafted from iron ore, has decent toughness, hardness, and sharpness, usable for crop harvesting and more.

Looking at the text in front of him, Lynn nods slightly.

As long as it has been forged, the item will be of [Ordinary] grade.
