"Kid, do you know how to forge a sword?" Uncle Linus' voice sounded from the smithy of the Elven defensive line, carrying with it a trace of a test.

"I've heard a bit about it, but I don't, so please teach me!" Liang Yujing looked at the old man and answered seriously.

"Eh …" The uncle smiled awkwardly, seemingly surprised by his sincerity.

"Ah … I really can't do anything to you. Since you've already told me that, I'll reluctantly teach you."

Liang Yujing did not say anything. He bowed to the old man, then walked to the side, and observed the steps of forging the sword.

The old man rolled up his nonexistent sleeves and took a deep drag from the cigarette in his mouth.

"Watch carefully, I'll teach you once."

The old man took out a piece of raw material from the warehouse and lit up the furnace with the bellows. He placed the raw material on top of the furnace to heat it up.

"Wait until the iron is completely red, then take it out and beat it until it deforms." The uncle took out the piece of iron and placed it on the big iron block in front of him to knock on it.

"Hu!" The old man held the raw material in one hand while holding it with the other, while he hammered at it with the hammer. Then, he put the raw material into the water to cool it down.

"Sssii ~ ~" A puff of white smoke suddenly rose.

"That's about right. This is the simplest and most basic of steps. Don't think it's that simple later on." The uncle held the hammer and lit up another cigarette.

"Come on, put on your clothes." The uncle patted Liang Yu Jing's shoulder.

Liang Yujing's complexion slightly changed, and he took half a step back. But just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted. "It's not like I'm going to do anything to you, it's just that I don't want you to feel the heat later on." The old man looked at him with disdain.

"Eh …" Liang Yujing scratched her head in embarrassment before taking off her clothes.

"Little fellow, your figure is not bad." The uncle patted Liang Yujing's belly with some ridicule.

"Are you ready?" The old man's slightly hoarse voice sounded from within the room.

"Okay, can we continue?" Another young man's voice came from inside.

"Whew ~ ~ Whew ~ ~" There were other sounds in the room, as if the wind was blowing in.

"Hurry up, you're not old enough, are you still a man? So slow? " The old man sounded dissatisfied.

"Good …" I... I'll speed it up. " The young man was panting heavily. The sound of his voice was tiring.

"That's it. Hold on a little longer. It's almost done." He saw two men inside the room. One of them was standing in front of the furnace, holding an iron ore to heat it up.

The other male owner, bare-chested, was pulling the bellows to one side. The bellows were pulled up, and as the heat was needed, the bellows would accelerate in a slow, even rhythm, full of hope. The flames in the stove danced with the rhythm of the bellows, rising as the wind blew.

"Okay, okay, that's it." Uncle took out the iron ore and placed it on the big iron block in front of him. Then, he took out two hammers of different sizes and handed the big hammer to Liang Yujing.

"Wait a minute, take this hammer and use all your strength to hit it, but don't overdo it. I'll knock on it first, then you hit me again. Do you understand?" The old man held a small hammer in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other as he turned the iron ore over.

"Let's begin."

"Ding ~ ~" A clear sound of the main hammer striking the ore rang out.

"Bang ~ ~ ~" The large hammer followed closely, bringing with it a cloud of red iron filings.

After a series of clanging sounds from the hammer and a rain of sweat, the metal had become the craftsman's ideal weapon. Sometimes, Uncle would put the iron into the sink, and with a "creak", a puff of white smoke suddenly rose into the air, completing the quenching process.

After the first tempering, it had a rough shape. It should be a sword.

"Continue." Uncle took a deep breath

"Repeat the previous step."

Liang Yujing hurried to continue pulling on the bellows, repeating the steps she had just taken.

After a series of knocks, the shape of the weapon took shape. It was a sword, about 90 cm long, half a palm wide. Due to the fact that the seal was not opened, the blade appeared somewhat black.

"That's it. Leave the rest to me." The uncle smiled at Liang Yu Jing and waved his hand.

"Go back and rest. Let me come alone with Kai Feng and the sword hilt."

Liang Yujing stood aside and did not move. A window of light appeared before his eyes.

[Mission accomplished]

[Reward: 10 EXP]

[Received Special Reward: A self-made weapon (The weapon is still on edge, it will be issued tomorrow by the NPC) Special reward: 2. Received the chance to learn swordsmanship skills from Linus (Please learn it in your free time, the NPC's mood may decide if you want to teach you)]

After completing the first quest, he only received one out of the three rewards.

After gaining 10 experience points, Liang Yujing's level had risen to 2, which gave him a slight attribute bonus. His HP had risen from 200 to 250, his Stamina had increased by 180, and his Intelligence and Agility had increased by one point.

"The bonus isn't too bad, but the upgrades aren't that big of a deal." Liang Yujing thought to himself.

Returning to her room, Liang Yujing closed her eyes. She felt something shining in the depths of her eyes. Upon seeing it, she realized that the system had given her a new reward.

Player's first attempt has been completed and received an additional reward: On the following adventure, the EXP earned from quests has been increased by 200%. The quality of the rewards will be maintained at or above the normal level and at the same time, the player will have the ability to carry multiple items with him or her in his or her inventory. a good partner in a home trip who kills and steals)

This reward shocked Liang Yujing. Not only did it increase his experience, it also made it easier for him to carry his items in his inventory. It could also indirectly increase his combat strength.

It was time for dinner. After dinner, he went downstairs to find out about Lorraine's situation from Selia. Liang Yujing went back to her room and lay down. The fatigue from forging in the afternoon hit her, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Tomorrow... After learning the skills tomorrow, he would be able to obtain the weapon … I just need to go to Lorraine and hunt the Goblins … As the drowsiness hit her, Liang Yujing slowly fell asleep on the bed.

Haha, the passing adventurers, how do you do ~

My name is Linus, and I run a weapon shop here in the Irving Line, specifically responsible for repairing weapons for you adventurers. Of course, if you have wine, I'll also give you some advice and encouragement. Young people these days are really good, so I, Linus, will guide you.

Heh, it tastes good. Don't underestimate me. I was a rather famous swordsman in the past, one man against ten … Alas, it was all in the past. Right now, my sword cannot be stained with blood, so I will stay here peacefully to help you adventurers who need it. Haha … Oh right, why are you talking about me? It looks like this is your first time here, so let me give you a brief introduction of the Grassland Forest.

First of all, we welcome you to the Forest of Grandet, known as the Flowing Forest. It is the oldest forest in the Alad Continent, and the only place with traces of the Elven life. It was said that a lot of treasures left behind by the elves were hidden inside, so many adventurers were looking forward to entering the forest for the treasure hunt. However, they seemed to have forgotten that this was once a paradise for the elves. It was said that most of the adventurers who entered the Forest of Grains had often lost their lives because they had underestimated the hidden dangers within the forest …

Then one day there was an unprecedented fire in Gran Forest, and the light from the fire was so bright that it almost dyed the entire continent of Arad red. Most of the trees in the forest were burned to ashes by the fire, and the magic array laid down by the elves was no longer effective. This gave the adventurers another chance to enter the forest and take the risk …

Uh, from the looks of it, you guys have just entered the forest for a short while, right? Haha, there's no need to be so surprised. I've seen many adventurers like you. I can recognize a rookie like you with a single glance. Hahaha!

Oh, don't be angry! I'll give you some information as compensation. Ah, the wine is finished... Um, before you entered the Forest of Gras, you should have seen the white tower on the west coast, right?

That was Sky City, which was said to lead to another world. However, until now, none of those who ventured into Sky City were able to return alive. So if you want to try your luck... Be very careful...

Eh? You guys are going over there now?... Don't worry, let me finish.

To go to Sky City, one must first pass through the Forest of Grands. However, it was unknown when the Forest of Grains began, but it was filled with many mutated monsters. They are evil and cruel in nature, and some of them are hard to deal with... If you must go, please take care!

Or should he go? I didn't expect to scare you. Alright, alright. Remember to fix the weapon. That, give me another bottle of wine before you go? Haha …
