Chapter 310 - 195: Flame Tempering Forging

Vivian watched in surprise as Luo De passed the charcoal fire from one hand to the other.

As if he were playing with an ordinary stone.

Vivian remembered that Luo De was never really afraid of fire before.

But that was only when he occasionally touched flames and wouldn’t get burned.

Never like now, being able to directly grab burning charcoal with his hands.

After testing for half a day, Luo De was convinced of his suspicions and casually threw the charcoal fire beside the furnace.

Vivian quickly used a pair of tongs to pick up the charcoal and put it back in the furnace.

"Is this the ability granted to you by that gem just now?"

She turned and asked.

Luo De nodded, smiling,

"It’s not just that, this gem has also given us a way to access magic items."

As long as some precious metallic materials can be obtained, Flame Tempering can allow Luo De to possess enchantments and even magic items.

"What way?"

Vivian’s eyes lit up, "Am I included?"

"Not sure right now."

Luo De said, rolling up his sleeves to show Vivian,

"It’s this tattoo that looks like wizard runes, giving me a spell-like ability of Flame Tempering, allowing equipment forged with special metals to have certain magical abilities."

"What kind of metallic materials?"

Vivian pursuedly asked.

"The inheritance doesn’t specify, but it should be metals that can withstand Flame Tempering, right?"

Luo De thought for a moment and affirmed, "Forged weapons and equipment made of ordinary materials probably won’t do."

"What about your Ashbringer?"

Vivian’s gaze fell on the heavy sword beside Luo De, "Try it?"

"I won’t."

Luo De refused without hesitation.

Ashbringer took a long time to forge from start to finish, and if it gets ruined without successful tempering, it would be a heavy loss for Luo De.

To experiment, a dagger should be forged for the test instead of directly using Ashbringer.

Luo De glared at Vivian irritably,

"I’ll try it when your embroidery needle is forged."

"Ah, I don’t want that either!"

Vivian hurriedly refused, squatting beside Luo De’s leg, looking up and asking, "Can I learn this Flame Tempering spell?"

"I’m afraid not."

Luo De rubbed Vivian’s head, explaining, "In fact, this is a unique inheritance of the Yak People."

"If not for my unique constitution, I couldn’t either."

Luo De’s so-called unique constitution relies on the system’s ability to absorb the energy and inherited knowledge from the extraordinary gem.

Otherwise, Luo De would also be unable to access the inheritance.

"Alright."

Vivian pouted, stood up, and wrinkled her nose.

"No wonder there’s a strange smell about you."

"Really?"

Luo De sniffed and didn’t notice anything unusual, "What smell?"

"Like the smell of the blacksmith shop, not very pleasant."

"Is it a smell you’re jealous of?"

Luo De chuckled and pulled Vivian into his arms,

"Not pleasant?"

Then he pressed his arm against Vivian’s face,

"Since you say it’s not pleasant, smell it a few more times until you get used to it!"

Vivian laughed and struggled, trying her best to shield her face.

But her weak strength couldn’t stop the thick scent from working its way into her body as Luo De carried on undaunted.

...

...

The next morning, the sunlight was just right.

Rein packed his luggage lightly and set out with his subordinates back to Razor Plain.

Luo De stood on the hillside, watching them depart, then set off with Vivian back to Frost Leaf Town.

Upon returning to the manor, without even taking a sip of water, Luo De immediately sent for Bain to be brought to the manor hall.

It was the Yak People’s first time at the manor, and he stood somewhat shyly with his head bowed.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

The Snow Rabbit People translator respectfully asked on behalf of the Yak People.

Luo De responded, "Ask him if he knows what Flame Tempering casting is."

After the Snow Rabbit People translated his question, Bain quickly nodded.

"Yes, it is a powerful ability bestowed by the gods."

"Bestowed by the gods?"

Luo De sighed slightly, feeling a bit helpless.

It seems I’m going to have to start interacting with religious fanatics again.

Luo De then stood up, walked over to Bain, and rolled up his sleeve,

The black tattoo exposed in the sunlight unexpectedly flickered with strands of flames, as if they were alive.

Bain’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape.

The next moment, there was a loud boom.

Bain’s knees slammed heavily to the ground, kneeling before Luo De,

"It is the gods’ blessing!"
