He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 245 A Heartfelt Feeling

The secret recipe of the precious weapon is not so easy to research, otherwise, the powerful clans would not have to block the news related to the secret recipe.

For Jiang Lin, it is just a little troublesome now, and there is not much impact on other things.

This includes forging proficiency, which can also be obtained by eliminating the defects of weapons forged by others.

Two days later, Jiang Lin took a long knife and immersed it in water, completing the quenching process.

After many tests, it has been confirmed that when the defects are eliminated to the point where only thirty are left, quenching and sharpening can be carried out normally.

If the number of defects were reduced by even one, the weapon would not be able to withstand it.

This is the uppermost threshold for ordinary soldiers. Even though I feel unhappy about it, my proficiency in various skills has not fallen behind in the past few days.

Especially quenching, which is only two or three times away from upgrading.

Take the long knife to the whetstone and sharpen it carefully.

The entire elite blacksmith team is currently cooperating with Jiang Lin to carry out "assembly line" operations, and it's quite efficient.

With the pig iron produced by Jiang Lin as the base, the weapons made by these elite blacksmiths are basically of the fourth grade.

According to the current progress, it may take less than a month to pay off the owed weapons.

Just as the long sword was sharpened, Qi the blacksmith walked in and whispered, "Captain Song from the Nanling camp is waiting for you outside."

Jiang Lin stood up, handed the long knife that had completed all the processes to Qi the blacksmith, and then walked out.

Song Tianjiu stood outside the shop and didn't come in. When he saw Jiang Lin, his face didn't look very good.

In the past two days, the Nanling camp has been feeling very depressed.

There was no news from the Ministry of War, so Liao Mingxu went to see General Qi Hongwu, only to learn that Marshal Yu had reached an agreement with the Ministry of Works and was no longer concerned about Jiang Lin's affairs.

Qi Hongwu did not explain clearly what benefits had been obtained, but only said that some compensation would be given to the Nanling Camp.

For example, giving him a few hundred thousand taels of silver or something like that, but for Liao Mingxu, he didn't care about this little bit of silver at all.

If the border troops cared about money, they would not buy weapons on credit.

After coming back, Liao Mingxu was so angry that he couldn't eat.

It took him a day and a half to recover before he sent Song Tianjiu to the blacksmith camp to gather information.

"Brother Song, why don't you go in now that you're here?" Jiang Lin asked pretending to be ignorant.

Song Tianjiu said bluntly: "The lieutenant general asked me to ask Lord Jiang whether he is still from our Nanling camp! If he says no, I will not come again."

Jiang Lin had expected them to ask this question. He was silent for a few seconds and then answered, "Yes."

Song Tianjiu's brows relaxed slightly, and he asked again: "Then why did you accept the appointment from the Ministry of Works? Did you join the border army because you were forced by the powerful clans?"

Jiang Lin sighed and said, "Brother Song, what are you talking about? It is true that the powerful clans forced me to do so, but I have never regretted joining the border army. It's just that who I take the appointment to is not decided by me, nor by you. Even Brother Liao can't influence it."

Song Tianjiu didn't know how to refute. In fact, they all knew that since it was a deal between Yu Shuai and the Ministry of Industry, it was normal for Jiang Lin to be on either side.

If they want to blame someone, they should blame Yu Shuai for not saying hello to them. But they didn't dare to trouble Yu Shuai, so they could only come to Jiang Lin.

It's not that I'm venting my anger, I'm just feeling anxious and want an answer, or psychological comfort.

"Master Wei said that I am now just a piece of pig iron in a furnace and have no right to choose my own path."

Listening to Jiang Lin's words, Song Tianjiu fell silent.

Jiang Lin is the pig iron in the furnace, and so are they.

People say that the border troops are crazy. That’s because they have to deal with too many life and death situations, and they are too heavy. How can they survive without going crazy?
"I know you guys are unhappy, but the matter has been settled and cannot be changed." Jiang Lin said, "Please rest assured, no matter where I am, I will remember that I am a member of the border army. I can't fight alongside you and kill the enemy, but I will definitely satisfy you with any weapons you want."

As he said that, Jiang Lin walked over and took Song Tianjiu's arm: "Brother, come with me."

Song Tianjiu subconsciously tried to free his arms, but when he felt the strength in Jiang Lin's palm, he gave up.

When the two arrived at the blacksmith shop, they saw the blacksmith inside swinging his hammer continuously and sweating profusely.

Jiang Lin pointed to a large pile of weapons stacked against the wall and said, "These are all low-grade weapons. We have accumulated about a thousand so far, and we can produce hundreds more every day. I don't have much ability, so I can only let the brothers in the Nanling camp have one high-grade weapon each."

Song Tianjiu was shocked when he heard this. Everyone has a high-quality weapon?
Don’t look at these military officers, they are now using top-grade weapons, some even precious weapons.

But most of the soldiers under him still only had ordinary weapons.

If all of them could be replaced with top-grade weapons, when forming a military formation, the power would definitely be increased by two levels!
But even Liao Mingxu had never thought about this.

After all, there are nearly 10,000 people in the Nanling camp, and it would be too much work to replace all of them with weapons of this grade.

Song Tianjiu looked at the pile of shiny black weapons, then turned to look at Jiang Lin, his mouth open, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Jiang Lin saw his complicated feelings and said in a deep voice: "This is my sincere gift. Please tell me when you go back that Jiang Lin has no ability and can only be sold as a pawn. Fortunately, I have been sold for a good price now, and I can still do something for my brothers."

After saying this, Song Tianjiu felt extremely guilty.

Yes, brother Jiang is a master of the seventh level of Yuanwu Realm, and he can also forge middle-grade spiritual weapons, but he has no choice but to be exchanged for benefits by Marshal Yu and the Ministry of Industry.

He is the one who feels the most wronged!
No matter how aggrieved the brothers in the Nanling camp were, could they be as aggrieved as him?

Even if they want to cause trouble, they can't find it on Jiang Lin!
Thinking of this, Song Tianjiu looked apologetic and said, "Brother Jiang, it's my fault. Stop saying you are incompetent. We are the ones who are really incompetent. We said we would protect you, but in the end, we couldn't do anything."

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "Some things are beyond my control. I have let it go, so why should I take it to heart? Anyway, our friendship is still there, so don't let it be affected by what others do."

"That's right!" Song Tianjiu nodded heavily, completely convinced.

"Since you are here, take these weapons back with you. Tell the brothers that everyone should have a top-grade weapon. I, Jiang Lin, will keep my word!"

Song Tianjiu's eyes were moist. What a good person! He was betrayed by the commander of the border army, but he did not feel any resentment. Instead, he still cared about his brothers in the camp.

"Don't worry, brother. This is just the first time. If someone does this to you again, I will seek justice for you no matter who he is!"
