Beauty and the Bodyguard

He held his breath and stared at the iron lump in the pool. After a whole incense's time, Lin Yi and the king of junk couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that they had failed. Then, the iron lump finally started to react!

Although his reaction was very slow, to the point that normal people couldn't detect it, Lin Yi and the king of junk had extremely sharp senses. The king of junk was a professional forger, and sensing changes was one of his basic skills. The metal block started melting like a thousand-year-old ice, and it couldn't escape their eyes.

"It's done!" Lin Yi and the king of junk high-fived each other. As long as they could break the ice, the next change would happen.

For more than two months, the king of junk did not just look at this lump of iron. He took advantage of this time to re-study the process of forging and calculate every possible change. He had prepared more than a hundred emergency plans for this. If even this failed, it could only be said that it was fate.

As expected, the king of junk seemed to be at ease during the forging process. Every time there was a sign of an accident, he would immediately suppress it without causing any trouble.

A few days passed in a flash as he waited nervously. Lin Yi's originally calm mood gradually became uneasy because the final formation was here!

If he succeeded, with all the top-tier materials Lin Yi had thrown in and the king of junk's blood and sweat, the God-level weapon he would make would be countless, even if it wasn't unprecedented. Lin Yi's already strong power would increase by a huge amount!

However, in the midst of this anticipation, the king of junk's face changed, and so did Lin Yi 's. They were stuck at the last step.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're missing?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. He was just about to take it out of the furnace when it suddenly got stuck. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.

"Ugh ... It's not really that bad ..." Trash King turned his head and smiled bitterly at Lin Yi,""To create a divine weapon, one has to be very particular about the heat control. The temperature and environment must be controlled very precisely in order to successfully create it, but I can't do it ..."

"Ha? You can't do it?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry-what was this guy trying to do, saying that he couldn't do it at this critical moment?

"Brother Lin, if we fail again this time, the problem will be on me." The king of junk said in a deep voice, but then he scratched his head in disbelief."But it's just the last bit of heat. There has never been a problem before, so why is it not working today? Could it be that my forging skills are really that bad?"

"It's fine. There won't be any more problems at this point anyway. If the first time doesn't work, we'll try a second time. If the second time doesn't work, we'll try a third time. Let's try more. " Lin Yi consoled.

The king of junk nodded and continued to try. However, no matter what he did, it would not work. There was always an error. Although it was only a little bit, it seemed to be an insurmountable gap.

At this point, even Lin Yi didn't know how to comfort him. He could only look at the king of junk in the eyes. The usually confident King of junk started to doubt if his forging skills were really at their limits.

Little did he know that if this matter was known to those Grandmaster blacksmiths, they would probably all cry.

The 10,000-year-old tree crystal, the ancient Pure Land, and other rare natural treasures were all put together. Even the grandmasters found it difficult to control them, and you two newbies actually dared to open the furnace?

He really didn't know what he was talking about. It would be a miracle if he could form it. In fact, to be able to reach this final step was already considered an unprecedented legend!

However, the two of them didn't know about this. They thought that it was really just a problem with their skill level. They frowned and didn't know what to do.

The final step of forming the shape was to rely on the control of the flame to the peak. There were no other shortcuts. Unless he found a ready-made Grandmaster forger to help, otherwise, it was simply impossible. In fact, even ordinary Grandmaster forgers could not do it!

However, there were very few blacksmiths. In the entire North Island, it was hard to find a few other than the king of junk. Moreover, in terms of forging skills, they were probably not even as good as the king of junk. They could not be considered grandmasters at all. What should he do?

Helplessly, Lin Yi could only let the king of junk stay in the cave and continue to try, while he went back to the welcome new pavilion first. After all, he couldn't just waste time there. Even if he stayed there, he couldn't help the king.

However, he couldn't get rid of this problem. Even when Lin Yi was out alone, he couldn't help but frown.

"Little Junior Brother, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy to be with us?" Shangguan LAN 'er couldn't help but pout. She'd been dragging Huang xiaotao to play with Lin Yi these past few days when she had nothing to do, saying that she wanted to help the two develop their relationship and be a competent matchmaker.

Huang xiaotao was also watching Lin Yi carefully from the side, secretly worried. She thought that Lin Yi was annoyed by her frequent visits with Shangguan LAN 'er.

"No, don't misunderstand. It has nothing to do with you two." Lin Yi quickly explained,"actually, I'm just troubled by my own things. I've been forging with a friend recently, and we used a lot of natural treasures and energy. I tried everything I could to find the life-form mushroom for this forging, but now I'm just about to succeed, and I'm stuck at the last step. I can't shape it successfully. I really don't have any other way."

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's a pity that my grandfather doesn't know anything about forging. Otherwise, I could ask him to help." Shangguan LAN 'er shook her head in regret,""I still need to gather the materials for my weapon and send them to the forgers to forge it. However, the forgers 'levels aren't very high, so I don't think they'll be of much use ..."

Huang xiaotao couldn't help much with this kind of thing. The only thing she could do was to comfort Lin Yi and tell him not to be anxious.

"There's no other way. We can only take one step at a time. I'll let my friend continue to try. I hope it won't get worse before we find a solution." Lin Yi said with a bitter smile.

After chatting for a while, they all went their separate ways. Shangguan LAN 'er received ning Xuefei's letter and immediately wrote down everything that had happened to Lin Yi during this period of time in detail, even including Lin Yi's current troubles.
