Forging a Divine Weapon / Coiling Dragon Mace

Closure's expression softened a little after Suika finished speaking.

"Then the other person you mentioned, was he also one of those who boarded the ship this time?"

"No, it's Miss Huang. But I don't know the specifics either. I only know that it's related to a long-standing unsolved case in the Great Yan."

Huang, on the other hand, was a survivor of that case.

After Suika finished speaking, Closure wrote it down.

"You don't mind if I tell Kal'tsit about these things, do you?"

"If I minded, I wouldn't have said it." Suika shrugged.

Closure thought for a moment and then walked towards the door. "I'll go first then. You two can do as you please."

Years after Closure left, he put his arm around Suika's shoulder.

"Speaking of which, you've come at the perfect time. I need to print something, but the temperature is a bit difficult to control..."

The year's knowledge of the ability to Suika could alter temperature.

Let's go!

The two then turned and entered the Forging workshop.

"I just saw that Rhodes Island has a lot of interesting materials here, so I bought some. The only decent weapon your older sister has is that shield, which is rather shabby."

What do you think about getting her a handy tool?

Since Suika didn't need any weapons, Nian transferred his Hoshiguma Suika.

Suika was also happy about this.

The better Hoshiguma's equipment, the safer she would be, and the more at ease she would feel.

"Hmm... what do you think of the Kang Long Mace?"

Because the Hannya is very large and not light, Hoshiguma cannot wield a heavy shield in one hand and a long weapon in the other like Patriot.

Moreover, although her strength is not comparable to that of superhumans like Suika and Nian, it is indeed among the best of normal people.

Using a sharp blade would Taihe applying that kind of strength.

Because bladed short-range weapons are nothing more than swords and sabers, both of which are extremely difficult to make very heavy.

Or rather, if it's too heavy, it's not easy to use, while if it's too light, it's uncomfortable for people with a lot of strength.

But the key to a mace is its immense power and weight.

In the hands of someone with sufficient strength, this thing is far more destructive than swords and knives.

Chapter 465 Forging Divine Weapons

The key thing is the mace; it has one particularly good feature.

It just doesn't look very intimidating.

No matter where you take it, even in the most strictly controlled area of Hundred Stoves in the heart of the Great Yan Kingdom, this thing is not considered a controlled knife.

If you get a longsword, halberd, mace, or axe, Hoshiguma can wield it, but the problem is that you can't bring those things into many places.

Furthermore, Hoshiguma is a genuine public servant, a real senior inspector, so no one would say anything if he used a mace as a baton.

But if you carry a large machete on the street, people will immediately complain that you are intimidating pedestrians.

This is also why Suika, after careful consideration, chose the mace as her weapon.

It's definitely not about having Hoshiguma wield a mace to cosplay as a mace!

After discussing it, the two agreed that there was no problem, and they found the materials and started working on it.

Then, the operatives who were preparing to learn from the Forging experience of the past year witnessed the most unforgettable scene of their lives.

Under Nian's direction, Suika pinched several different types of steel and poured them into the pot of molten iron. After pouring them in, she even reached in and stirred them.

That's molten iron.

Molten iron at over a thousand degrees Celsius.

They just put their hand in there and pulled it out completely intact.

Is this even human?

This was the first thought of all the operators.

"Why are you reaching in there?" Nian complained with a look of disgust.

"It feels like there's too much stuff, and some of it isn't dissolving properly, so I'm stirring it up."

See, isn't it perfectly symmetrical?

Suika dipped her finger in the molten iron and showed it to Nian, then threw it back.

"Indeed... but your method is incorrect. Our pot can rotate because rotating it helps the ingredients inside to blend together."

Nian pointed to the special pot and said.

"Uh..." Suika wasn't a professional either, and she never expected this thing to be used like this.

Then, Nian waved her hand, and the shield beside her transformed into a series of devices that encapsulated the molten iron for casting.

More than ten minutes later, the long mace had taken shape, but it was now completely red.

It looks like it puts immense pressure on people.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Suika grabbed the bright red weapon and examined it closely.

"Be careful, the weapon isn't fully formed yet, don't put your handprint on it."

I felt a little sorry for the weapons that year.

"Didn't you say that a weapon needs to be perfected through countless hammer blows? You haven't even struck it yet."

Suika didn't dare to use force; after weighing it in her hand, she tossed it to Nian.

Nian grabbed the weapon, went to the forging area not far away, and pointed at it, saying...

"You hold the weapon, but be careful not to squeeze it too hard and deform it. Leave the rest to me."

Then she pulled out a hammer the size of a fist.

"This thing of yours looks like a child's rattle drum!" Suika couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the small hammer in Nian's hand.

"Tch, your eyesight is terrible. This thing is a real treasure. The effect of hitting it a few times is much stronger than forging it a thousand times."

Hold on tight.

As he spoke, he gently tapped the surface with a small hammer.

One second Suika was thinking, "How could I not hold this thing steady if I just tap it once?" The next second, her expression changed.

Because the weapon in her hand began to vibrate.

If it were an ordinary object, she could even crush it if she grabbed it with some force.

But this is a weapon designed for Hoshiguma; I can't just crush it before it's even finished.

Therefore, she could only try her best to control her strength, neither relaxing too much so that the weapon would fly out under such high-frequency vibration, nor squeezing too much so that it would be broken by herself.

This immediately made Suika feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, allowing her to barely endure it.

"How do you feel?" Nian asked with a provocative smile.

"It's alright, not much pressure..." Suika declared that her toughest asset was her mouth, and she was determined not to admit defeat.

"Then I'll continue!" Before Suika could speak, the small hammer struck again.

"Holy crap!" Suika could only curse before focusing on dealing with the "high-frequency vibration stick" in her hand.

Half an hour later, Suika was seen lying on a stool, covered in sweat, looking weak and sore all over, with her tongue sticking out, looking utterly exhausted.

"Stop playing around, the thing is almost done!" Nian picked up the weapon and stuffed it into the quenching liquid that had been prepared beforehand.

When it was taken out, everyone couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

The seemingly unremarkable, dark stick, after its final quenching, transformed like the Ugly Duckling into a black swan, or a caterpillar into Arceus; the entire weapon suddenly became extraordinary.

The entire mace is gilded gold, and it is formed by two dragons coiling around each other, with the scales on the dragons clearly visible.

At the top of the long mace, two dragon heads protrude slightly outwards, forming two hammerheads.

The intertwined tails form the grip.

Suika raised her mace and swung it, a sound like a tiger's roar emanating from it.

Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find that the weapon had several tiny slits in the middle. When the user swung the weapon at a certain speed, the wind passing through them would create a sound, which sounded like a tiger's roar or a dragon's cry. Coupled with its exaggerated appearance, it was undeniably incredibly cool.

"Awesome!" Suika gave the highest praise she could.

"Of course, don't you see who did this?" Nian proudly put his hands on his hips, his tail twitching rapidly on the ground, looking like he wanted to praise me, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"But I have a question... won't the seam in the middle of this weapon affect its strength?"

In Suika's memory, proper weapons were always made simple and unadorned, either for some other reason or because adding random things would make the weapon weaker.

Just like the weapons in Dynasty Warriors, which look incredibly cool, but when you actually make them, you'll find that they're not only difficult to use, but also prone to breaking.

"Who do you take me for? The weapons I handle are considered divine weapons in the Great Yan!"

The kind that is completely genuine, without any adulteration.

Whether royalty or street urchin, anyone who takes up a weapon I craft can become a hero.

This weapon may only be considered average in my work, but that depends on what you compare it to.

"Obtaining the Great Yan is priceless."

When Nian heard that Suika was actually questioning her in her own field, she almost rolled her eyes in anger.

"Hehe, it's just curiosity!"

"Elbow, let's go deliver it to Hoshiguma together!"

Suika checked the time; it was a little past two in the afternoon. If nothing else was going to happen, she would probably be working out at the gym, just like yesterday.

"Alright... everyone, please excuse me for now. If you have any questions about Forging later, feel free to come to me. I promised Kal'tsit that I would teach you as much as I can."

After Nian finished speaking, everyone silently made way for the two of them.

Chapter 466 Coiling Dragon Mace

"What do you think we should call this thing we made together...?"

Suika weighed the weapon in her hand and asked as she walked.

"You can call it the Coiling Dragon Mace or the Coiling Dragon Whip... You can also call it the Coiling Dragon Hammer because it has a hammerhead on top."

"We craftsmen don't have so many rules when we're making things; it's the people who use the weapons who are particular about them."

She was extremely careful when making this weapon, but discarded it like trash after it was finished—a typical example of a scumbag woman.

Suika swung the meter-and-a-half-long weapon around, and just as Nian had said, she had referenced several weapons when making it, so you could see traces of those weapons in it.

And it's stylish and cool.

Given its understated golden light, it would be perfectly suitable to name it the God-Striking Whip.

Unfortunately, this thing is ultimately just a weapon for mortals, offering no improvement to Suika. Moreover, she has to limit her strength when using it, otherwise she might damage it if she uses too much force. Otherwise, she would have been tempted to have Nian make a new one.

After holding the weapon and thinking for a few seconds, she looked at the base of the handle. Suika reached out and Great Fortune Sigil directly onto it.

After finishing, Suika nodded in satisfaction.

"What did you do?" Nian suddenly asked in surprise.

"Huh?" Suika looked over and found that Nian had inexplicably moved several steps away from her.

"Your luck has just suddenly dropped a lot..."

Before Nian could finish speaking, the protective netting of the ventilation duct above them suddenly fell off and hit Suika on the head.

With a crisp sound, the protective netting fell to the ground.

"Excuse me, could you... give me back the security netting...?"

A girl's voice came from above.
