Indeed, as Emil said, the forging process is extremely boring. Even if he does the forging work himself, he would not concentrate on forging because it would be too labor-intensive.

Whenever the iron piece is heated, a long beating will begin. In order to cope with boredom, Emil will often enter a state of selflessness. In this state, his brain will become slow and even thinking will almost stop.

But the movements of his hands became more and more precise, and every blow was just right.

However, during this so-called basic training, Emil felt something was wrong. This strange feeling appeared when the iron pieces started to be calcined.

After the iron piece was heated and Emil beat it thousands of times, he realized what was going on. It was that it took too long.

He broke out of his selfless state and couldn't help but think about the reason. Whether it was the process of calcining or removing impurities, it took much more time than working outside.

Next to him, Sion seemed to be aware of this problem and was stopping to wipe his sweat while thinking.

"Emil, don't you think it takes too long for us to forge a sword? And we still work together."

"Yes, is it because of the white crystal mine..."

"Haha," Lidya laughed suddenly, and then sighed, "Oh, I thought you would understand it from the beginning, but it seems that I overestimated you."

"...Sorry." Emil looked embarrassed.

Judging from Lidia's reaction, his conjecture was correct. Precisely because the iron sheet was fused with white crystal ore during the manufacturing process, the density and plasticity of the iron sheet must be unmatched by ordinary metals. If you want to burn it

It will take more time for the red to even soften.

"There is nothing to be sorry for," Lidia continued, "What's more, haven't you figured it out? If you were Grandpa's former apprentice, if I didn't tell you, you would definitely not be able to figure it out."

"What? Mr. Mosswood also had an apprentice before?" Thain was surprised.

"Yeah, actually, the plan to help Cressidi make swords started a few months ago. At that time, grandpa really took a fancy to a few talented young people, so he accepted them all as apprentices. I was also supervising them at the time.

But to be honest, apart from being full of strength and momentum, they don’t have much agility in their heads.”

"Oh, what happened next? Why didn't they continue?" Emil asked the key question.

"Uh, well..."

Lidia seemed to hesitate, but looking at the curious eyes of the two people in front of her, she decided to tell the truth.

"Because they are all cursed."

"……ha?"

"Yes, although it sounds weird, it is the truth."

Emil didn't believe it at first, but after seeing her serious expression, he finally chose to believe it. After all, even something as outrageous as a monster exists, so what else can't he believe?

"Then, what kind of curse is that?" Sion was obviously panicked, and his voice was trembling as he spoke.

"Haha, don't be so nervous," Lidia comforted him, "It's not a serious curse. It's just that after completing the special training, those people were qualified to forge weapons for Lord Christi, but in the end they

Accidents often occur during the mission. Either this person's leg is broken, or that person's hand is dislocated, and even the forged weapons are inexplicably cracked."

"...What, isn't this worth being nervous about?" Sion became even more frightened.

"Well, yes, those people were too scared at the time, so they gave up one after another. Even though Juan threatened to put them in jail, they didn't want to continue. The final outcome can be imagined. They

He was really imprisoned and it is said that he has not been released yet."

"Tsk."

Emil finally understood the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that Mosswood and Lydia didn't know the specific reason and could only blame it on an unknown curse.

Since there are so many risks, there is only a question mark as to whether their forging will be successful. Even if you take a step back, even if they do not complete the task, their life safety cannot be guaranteed.

"How's it going? You're not really scared anymore, are you?" Lidia looked at the two of them with a wicked smile.

After a while, Emil finally reacted. He suddenly looked at Lidia and found that she was showing an expression of a successful prank.

As Lydia Knight, she would never let the two of them participate in the mission knowing that there was danger. Moreover, Mosswood had just said that there would be no danger to his life. In addition,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Lidia was obviously joking, and Emil became even more convinced.

"Really? It's actually a curse. It's terrible."

Emil decided to use the trick. After all, the person who was joking with them was a beautiful girl. It would be too unreasonable to expose her directly.

Thain was immediately confused about the situation, because in his impression, Emil always looked very calm and would not usually say such things.

"Alas," Lidia sighed, "Emil, your acting skills are too bad. Doesn't it obviously mean that I'm joking?"

"...Haha, sorry." Emil smiled sheepishly.

"What? It turned out to be a joke." Sean suddenly realized.

"Well, I am indeed exaggerating," Lidia nodded, then looked at Emil solemnly and said, "But Emil, your character of saying sorry casually is a bit annoying, don't do that next time

OK?"

"Ah, um, I'm sorry..." Emil quickly apologized.

"Huh?" Lidia glared at him.

Emil quickly shut up when he saw this, but Sean was a little fascinated by Lydia's sullen expression, thinking that it would be great if Delia could always look at him with this expression.

"What's wrong? Sion?" Lydia noticed his gaze.

"No, it's nothing, so there really isn't a curse?" Sean quickly changed the subject.

"No, but not entirely."

"Oh, why are you saying this again?" Sain was speechless.

"Haha, let me give it a try first. You will know when the time comes," Lidya smiled, and then said, "However, I can guarantee with my own personality that your lives will not be in danger. The reason why Grandpa

Letting Sion be the substitute is mainly due to the fact that Emir may quit due to the curse."

"Then Sion might quit because of this incident." Emil asked.

However, at this time, Sion was thinking in his heart that he would never quit even if he died, otherwise he would probably never see Lydia again.

"If that's the case, then my grandfather is done because there are only five days left to complete the project." Lidya said with a heavy expression.

"What? Five days?"

"This, how could this come in time?" Sion also expressed disbelief.

"But we spend so much time hammering this piece of iron. It is estimated that we can only forge two swords in one day, and this is just a special training. I don't know how much time is left for us to perform the task in the end. Plus, the curse has not yet happened.

Solve it, how can we..."

Emil expressed his concerns. This was the first time he said so many words in one breath, which also showed that he really had no confidence. After all, this kind of problem cannot be solved by a flexible mind.

"I knew you would have such worries, but my grandfather has not given up. Since this is the last chance, I will not allow you to give up!"

Lidia's words were so powerful that even Emil, who had always been calm, felt his blood boiling, but he would not be carried away by such inspiring words.

"So, you have a way to reduce the forging time, right?"

This is the only possibility that Emil can think of.

"Humph, that's good. You are indeed very smart."

Lydia did not hesitate to praise her. Of course, this was not just for fun, but sincere.

However, Sean had a strange feeling in his heart, the same as yesterday when he didn't immediately plead for Emil in front of Juan.

Yes, he was jealous, and he knew what he was thinking, but he felt more uncomfortable because this was not the attitude he should have towards Emil.

"Yes, I should be more generous. Isn't it a good thing for Emir to be praised?" Thain muttered softly.

"What's the good thing?" Emil noticed his abnormality.

"Ah, I mean being able to shorten the forging time is a good thing, but what should we do specifically?"

Emil felt strange. He found that since Sean entered the army, he seemed to be different from when he was on the road before. However, he could only understand this as that he did not understand the real Sean. After all, people are different at different times.

There will be different behavior.

"Yes, how to reduce time?" Emil also returned to the topic.

"Well, this, are you sure you want to know?" Lidia asked them.

"Of course I do." They both replied in unison.

"Well, in that case, I have to ask grandpa for permission first.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, after all, the key is in his hand." Lidia said, immediately jumping up from the chair, seemingly very excited.

Emil and Sean watched her rush out of the door, their heads full of questions, but they had no time to ask.

A few minutes later, Lidia came back. It could be seen from her expression that she seemed a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said to them.

"Haha, grandpa said, let you finish today's training first, you see." Lidia said, taking out a key.

"What key is this?"

"Don't ask, you will know after the training is over."

"Tsk, your grandfather and grandson are really the same in terms of how they behave." Sai En couldn't help but tease.
