Chapter 59 Clues, Advanced Forging
boom!
A surge of gray energy erupted, whistling and carrying a fierce momentum. A series of iron stakes in front of them were pierced as if made of paper, collapsing one after another, raising a cloud of dust, until they crashed into a wall more than two meters thick and dissipated, leaving a deep dent in the wall.
"Awesome! This weapon has given the knights some ranged capabilities. I really want to find an opponent to fight..." Lin Wei waved his arms excitedly, his face full of joy.
Lin Wei felt stronger than ever before.
He smashed all the hundreds of iron stakes in the basement. With each smash, the ground shook. He was like a human bulldozer, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
"Phew, I managed to vent my frustration. I'll have someone rebuild a better basement later." Lin Wei, without batting an eye, dusted himself off, transformed back into human form, and then used a disguise technique to change his appearance back to normal. He muttered, "I'm just a bit too tall. This Iron Lion Breathing Technique has reached its limit; I need to upgrade it."
"However, I've run out of focus potions, so I need to finish forging the vibranium equipment quickly, exchange it with Prince Maple Leaf for some cultivation resources, and also visit his treasury. I haven't forged anything in almost a year." Lin Wei said as he walked towards the forge in the small castle.
……
At this moment, in the forge of the small castle, sunlight streamed through the windows onto the floor. The flames in the forge crackled and popped as they roared.
Lin Wei was preparing to forge vibranium equipment, with his head butler, Celia, by his side. She was dressed in a neat butler's uniform and had a gentle smile on her face.
"The color of this vibranium is similar to that of gold, but it is much more ductile and will emit a faint glow under the sun." Lin Wei picked up a piece of vibranium and began to study it, gently stroking its surface with his fingers.
"My forging experience points are almost full, let's break through in one go."
[Forging: Tier 5 (17500/20000) (Intermediate Forging Skill)]
"My lord, what are you muttering about?" Celia pouted and tilted her head, feeling that the lord she had known for more than ten years was different again, which became even more obvious after this seclusion ended.
"It's alright, you can start your report now." Lin Wei smiled and put the vibranium down.
"These are two letters, one signed by the Nightingale Knight and the other by the Carp Knight. I retrieved them from the Knights' Hall." Celia handed over the letters with both hands.
"Then read it aloud."
The three had previously agreed that they could communicate via letters, which could be deposited at a specific counter in the Knights' Hall, a practice common among many knights.
"Then I'll read it."
"The Nightingale Knight said: I'm fine, but the atmosphere in Blood Frog City is oppressive, like a paradise for criminals, and there are so many lecherous knights that I don't even want to go out anymore. Besides, I saw the Blood Frog Prince at an auction, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, looking depressed. I really want to be transferred away from this awful place; I need to ask the Merchant Guild for more money."
After a moment of silence, Lin Wei said, "Yes, write back to her and tell her to take care of herself, to contact me immediately if anything happens, and to prioritize safety above all else. If all else fails, she can return to Maple Leaf City." Lin Wei's expression was serious, and his eyes revealed concern.
Lin Wei is now a Grand Knight, so protecting his friend shouldn't be difficult for him.
"My lord, you are still as reliable and trustworthy as ever. I always feel completely safe around you." Celia finished writing her reply quickly, grinning as she narrowed her eyes into slits.
"Stop teasing me. Keep reading."
Lin Wei Na Celia had no choice; he had been focused on cultivation all these years, leaving the responsibility of managing the household entirely to her. She never troubled him with anything, big or small; she was truly a first-rate housekeeper.
"The Carp Knight said: I have now arrived in Sea Salt City. It is a city that does not belong to any power. It is a port city facing the sea. Many knights come and go, and I have seen all kinds of people. It is said that Sea Salt City is the last place where wizards stayed. My father also asked me to come here to see it." Celia turned the page and continued, "Brother Lin Wei, you would never guess that there is a peculiar spring in Sea Salt City. It is said that this spring can lead to the world of wizards."
"It's a pity my Carp Breathing Technique is only at level five, so I can't dive deep enough. I really want to dive to the bottom of the spring and see if it leads to the wizarding world."
Haiyan City?
A peculiar spring?
"Could this descent be related to the effects of the Swimming Beast Breathing Technique? The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the depth one can dive." Lin Wei pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly as he lightly tapped the table with his fingers. "It's time for me to start practicing the Sailfish Breathing Technique. Right now, I'm only at the low-level swimming stage. I also have a copy of the Seaweed Breathing Technique with Kardashian; it's also a breathing technique for swimming beasts."
"Reply to the letter and tell the kid to be careful out there. Not all knights are as innocent and kind as me. Also, don't go into that spring unless you have to. Who knows if the rumors are true?" Lin Wei said as he picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper.
"No problem." Celia understood and quickly wrote a reply. She wrote very carefully, with neat handwriting. "As for the situation on the mainland, it's similar to last year, except that we have an additional Gate of Hell in the east. Now, many of the knights in the wilderness have been conscripted to defend against it." Celia looked up, her eyes filled with worry.
"I know that. Prince Maple Leaf told me about it last year." Lin Wei nodded, his face serious.
After chatting for a while, Lin Wei began forging. Inside the forging room, the furnace roared, casting a bright red glow on Lin Wei's face.
"After advancing to the Grand Knight level, this forging hammer is too light for me." Lin Wei covered his arms with aura, his arm muscles bulging. He easily lifted the forging hammer and hammered it onto the vibranium.
"Thump!"
The forging room shook, and a piece of vibranium dented, sending up a few sparks.
[Forging experience +22, after being tripled by Deep Blue Surface, experience +66]
"The forging efficiency has increased dramatically... After improving my cultivation, everything has become much easier." Lin Wei was overjoyed, his face beaming with excitement. He picked up the main hammer again and began to strike hard, each strike carrying immense power.
half a month later.

[Advanced Forging Skill: Your metalworking skills are superb, allowing you to forge ordinary materials into extremely strong and resilient pieces, and fully realize the potential of your creations.]
A series of prompts interrupted Lin Wei's forging work. He stopped what he was doing, looked at the prompts, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Advanced forging technique, now I'm a blacksmith. And I can maximize the effect of the forged items." Lin Wei was very pleased, his eyes sparkling. "This vibranium is precious, I'll keep some for Drake. I never fail at forging, and the order was already completed anyway."
