The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Hammer blow after hammer blow landed, causing Verick beside him to nod in approval. Santis and Morlay also nodded. At this point, if Dolay didn't make a mistake, the sword would be finished. This little guy's basic hammer techniques were also quite good, even though he'd only been practicing for a month.

Too fast.

By the eighth tempering, Dolay's forehead was covered in sweat, but his gaze remained firm and his expression steady.

Verick and the other two second-level blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief. This little guy was definitely a first-level blacksmith. All he needed to do was take the blacksmith certification exam, and he could start working with a license.

When Dolay pulled out the iron sword and plunged it into the ice water for quenching, applause erupted from all around.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Dolay, you're the most talented kid I've ever seen."

"Dolay, you've surpassed my half-year progress in just a month and a half. That's enough! I'm treating you to a drink when I get paid next month." This was the voice of a first-level blacksmith.

"That's right, that's right, let's have a drink!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone knew that Dolay came from the slums and originally didn't have much money. It was just a joke.

Dolay wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face covered in black grime. He didn't care at all and said with high spirits, "No problem, no problem, as long as I get paid!"

"Haha."

Just then, a voice came from the side, "Yes, yes, let's sign a contract next."

Boss Harley's voice came from outside.

Hearing Boss Harley's voice, the blacksmiths also laughed. "Boss Harley, you've found a treasure! Dolay advanced to first-level blacksmith in just a month. He has the potential to reach third-level in the future."

Morlay's unique voice immediately resonated with everyone around.

"That's right, Boss Harley has to treat us!" Santis also joked.

Harley's usually stern face now showed some expression, and he looked at Dolay with a hint of gentleness, saying, "Treating is a must, but not now. Okay, it's time for lunch. There's still work in the afternoon."

"We've been waiting for Boss to say that! Everyone, let's eat!"

Dolay scratched his head, looked at Supervisor Harley, and became a little bewildered.

Harley beckoned to him.

Seeing that Dolay wasn't preparing to move, Verick kicked him and said, "Hurry up and go."

Only then did Dolay wake up as if from a dream and walk towards Harley.

The contract signing process was uneventful. From then on, Dolay was a member of Old Ke's Blacksmith Shop, with a base salary of seven silver coins per month until he advanced to second-level blacksmith. Dolay could take a 10% cut of all production in between. Although it was low, it was the market price. Going from zero income to ten Mafa silver coins at once, Dolay was stunned at the time.

Seven silver coins, that's seven hundred Mafa copper coins! If this were a few months ago, it would definitely be a huge sum, no, an astronomical figure.

As a result, Dolay's steps were unsteady when he came out.

It was too surreal.

He felt that blacksmithing wasn't difficult. As long as he was a little more serious, he could do well. He just didn't expect that he would escape poverty in such a short time.

It was too surprising.

Harley put away the contract and walked out from behind Dolay. Seeing that Dolay was absent-minded, Harley was also a little emotional. Over the years, he had seen many people, but Dolay was more real than others. This teenager from the slums was truly amazingly talented.

He patted Dolay on the shoulder and said, "Don't be dazed. First-level blacksmith is just the starting point. When you reach the level of third-level or above, you can be considered truly entering this industry. Don't look at so many people in the blacksmith shop. In the entire blacksmithing industry, they are only considered beginners."

Dolay was no longer the newbie he used to be. Hearing this, his heart suddenly felt heavy.

Yes, after becoming a first-level blacksmith, the next step is to become a second-level blacksmith. After becoming a second-level blacksmith, he still has to save money to buy the Battle Qi manual. Twenty gold coins are not so easy to save.

Only by practicing Battle Qi can he have the opportunity to enter the third-level blacksmith. Only third-level blacksmiths are respected, just like the treasure of Old Ke's Blacksmith Shop who never shows his face. He doesn't do anything all year and still has dozens of gold coins in dividends.

This is the weight of a third-level blacksmith. If he could reach the third-level blacksmith, then the resources for the wizard might be enough, and he might be able to try.

Thinking of this, his unsteady steps stabilized again, and he nodded to Supervisor Harley. He said seriously, "I will study hard."

Supervisor Harley patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, that's how it should be. Study hard, at least be worthy of the salary I pay you every month." After speaking, he laughed and left.

Walking out from behind, he came to the dining hall, and all the blacksmiths stood up and paid their respects to him.

Dolay was moved in his heart. According to the etiquette recorded in the Legend of Narye, he bowed to everyone.

These people all have families, but they are all simple-minded and have no crooked thoughts. He sincerely wants to stay here forever.

Looking at Dolay's awkward etiquette, Harley wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh after all. After all, he came from the slums and didn't know anything.

Because Dolay had just entered the first-level blacksmith and his foundation was unstable, he was not directly assigned a forging furnace in the afternoon, but continued to follow Verick to continue learning. Of course, if there was anything, Supervisor Harley said that he could use the forging furnace next to him that no one was using.

Even so, Dolay felt full of energy, and his life was finally on the right track.

Soon after finishing the meal, everyone came out from behind with laughter. Dolay and Verick saw a figure in black in front of their forging furnace. Dolay took a look and keenly felt that this man in black was the swordsman from last time.

Verick also noticed him, so he stepped forward and asked.

The man in black looked at Dolay, looking at his changes, somewhat strangely. This little guy has good talent. How long has it been? He has developed this body of muscles.

He just looked at it and didn't speak, took out his battle sword and handed it to Verick.

Verick took it in his hand with some doubt, and saw the battle sword. At this time, the battle sword was scarred, all kinds of gaps, and subtle cracks. He was a little surprised. This guy's opponent is somewhat powerful.

The man in black didn't say much, took out a small black package from behind, and slowly opened it.

Verick and Dolay's eyes were involuntarily attracted by his small package. At this time, the small package was opened, revealing the contents inside.

The two blinked their eyes.

"Black essence copper, a material with very high hardness and toughness, belongs to the third-level material, and is very valuable." Verick explained to Dolay, and then looked at the man in black and said, "Does Your Excellency want to integrate black essence copper into it?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, can it be done?"

Verick nodded and said, "Yes, please wait a moment."

At this time, Dolay knew what he should do, stoking the fire and preparing various tools.

Dolay is already a first-level blacksmith, so the forging process after the material is integrated is completed by the two people working together, one hammer at a time, with tacit cooperation.

The man in black watched from the side, somewhat shocked. How long has this kid been here, and he can actually cooperate with a second-level blacksmith? This body of strength, there is something to it. Generally speaking, without a warrior's inheritance, it is difficult to improve one's ability in a very short time. This requires medicine, a large amount of meat, and the cooperation of training methods.

Could it be that this little guy has some talent?

If he has the talent to become a warrior, wouldn't it be a waste to stay here? How much money does a blacksmith earn in a year?
