Chapter 314 Alloys And Forging Techniques



I turned back to Haley and said, "Can you arrange a place for us to talk? Preferably a place with a forge."

Haley didn\'t seem to hear me at first since she was looking right at the small piece of mithril in her hand.

But she came back to her senses after I gave a cough to snap her out of this state.

I gave her my request again and she quickly nodded in agreement before running off.

Though by the look in her eyes…I could tell that she was going somewhere private to admire this piece of mithril.

I was right since it was Kevin who led us to this private forge.

It wasn\'t just Rondo and I that were here, Bruno had also come along because I needed his help for this demonstration.

This forge was also equipped with the same things that had been prepared for the forge during the competition.

Even if Haley\'s attention was completely taken by the piece of mithril that she received, she still did her job properly without missing a single thing.

I couldn\'t help being impressed by this, but that was also why I had been drawn to her in the first place.

After arriving, I turned to Rondo and said, "Just sit or stand, I\'ll give you a demonstration."

I waved at Bruno to follow me and we prepared two different sets of materials.

It was one portion that just had iron alone and one portion that had other materials along with iron.

Bruno recognized them as the things that I had him add into the furnace when we had been forging for the competition.

Rondo walked over and looked over this with a confused look, but he waited to see what we would do.

I had Bruno melt both sets of materials and then poured them into the same mold as before.

Once they cooled, we had two different blocks of metal.

I picked up both of them and held it up for Rondo to see.

Rondo stood there in front of me and looked over both of these pieces of metal.

As he tapped them, his expression couldn\'t help changing.

That was because he could tell that there was indeed something different between the two different pieces of metal. He couldn\'t tell exactly what it was, but he could tell that this second piece of metal was harder than the first piece of metal.

It was as if there was something inside of it that made it harder.

After looking at it for a bit, he looked back up at me with a very confused look as he asked, "Just what is this?"

I revealed a faint smile before explaining, "This is called an alloy. It is a mixture of different metals with iron, creating a metal that is much stronger than iron alone."

Rondo revealed a very confused look when he heard this before saying, "That shouldn\'t make sense. If you mix anything with pure iron, that should only work to weaken it with impurities. So how does mixing these things in make it stronger?"

There were many ways that I could have explained this, but I was certain that most of these ways would be too hard for Rondo to understand.

It wasn\'t that I doubted Rondo\'s intelligence, it was just that there was a certain level of technology in this world.

This was a world that was based on medieval times, so technology and science was not as advanced here.

If I used scientific terms, Rondo definitely wouldn\'t have understood.

So after thinking about it, I just simply said, "You should know that each metal has its own property, right?"

Rondo tilted his head before giving a slow nod.

Then I said, "These properties are unique to each type of metal, but when these properties are mixed, sometimes they can work together to make a better kind of metal. That is the case with this alloy."

Rondo had a very strange look on his face when he heard this.

He looked down at the alloy that I had made again and slowly looked at it from different angles.

There was a part of him that wanted to reject this theory, but with the alloy placed in front of him, he wasn\'t able to reject it.

So in the end, Rondo said with a sigh, "I guess this does merit further study…"

Though he said this, it was clear by the way that he looked at the alloy that he believed in it.

Once that was done, I took the alloy from his hand and threw it back onto the fire.

Rondo looked like he had something to say, but seeing the way that I handled it, he closed his mouth and waited to see what happened.

With Bruno\'s help, I was able to bring the piece of alloy metal out of the fire and placed it onto the anvil where he started smacking it with the hammer just like before.

After smacking it for a bit, I folded the metal on itself before having him smack it a few more times.

Rondo had been carefully watching us the entire time, as if he was analyzing what we were doing.

He didn\'t understand it at first, but then he suddenly said, "I see! You\'re folding the metal on itself to create layers in the metal! That makes it harder than just normal metal on its own!"

After he said this, I gave a simple nod before having Bruno stop his hammering.

I then said, "That\'s about it for the consultation, do you want to give it a try now?"

Rondo looked at the piece of metal that I was offering him with a surprised look before asking, "Can I really?"

I gave a nod before handing the tongs with the piece of alloy metal over to him and then nodding to Bruno to hand over the hammer.

With that, Rondo fell into his own world as he mimicked the technique that he saw before.
