BXBX NOVEL Chapter 469 Piecing It Together
After that, he went ahead and grabbed one of the remaining materials he had requested, being a heat-resistant type of clay, and create a perimeter around the four items to make sure that none of the molten materials he would pouring over them would spill out.
Seeing that the final perimeter was more or less affixed to the anvil, he then proceeded to create smaller perimeters of clay around the items, forming them in a way that would connect only one of the items to the other.
"Alright, let\'s begin." Taking in a couple of deep breaths, Valyr grabbed a pair of tongs and proceeded to retrieve one of the materials out of the furnace, making sure to not spill any of the contents.
"First, Molten True Aquaflame Steel." Letting out a long, drawn-out sigh to make his hands stop trembling, the young man activated the hyperfocus ability of [Gambler\'s Discerning Eyes] and [True Prodigious Blacksmith\'s Sight] at the same time, changing his visions of the item on the anvil into that of different colors as he proceeded to pour the molten metal on top of the items that represented the Fire and Water element.
Fshhhh…
Slowly tipping over the container that held the Molten True Aquaflame Steel, Valyr watched as two of the colors on the anvil gradually combined to form a single color as he gradually poured the Molten True Aquaflame Steel over them. At times, a few splotches of differing colors appeared due to him pouring a bit more of the molten material than he should have, thus he adjusted by reducing his pouring speed to where the colors would have time to become unified once more.
"Next, Molten Azure Sand." Getting a good idea of how fast he should pour the molten materials onto the items he had refined for the first step, Valyr went ahead and moved onto the second molten material he had pour, now keeping a close eye on how fast he was pouring to make sure everything came out in a unified color.
"Phew. Time for the Molten Tempest Meteor Fragments." Seeing that a homogenous color connected three of the four items he had refined so far, Valyr became a bit more careful in pouring the third molten material onto the anvil, which connected the Earth element to the Wind element with its properties.
Fshhhh…
"And to complete the cycle, Molten Magma Zephyr Crystals." Inwardly letting out a sigh of relief as the third molten material had not broken the homogenous color in any way, Valyr then proceeded to pour the fourth and final molten material that would allow the four elements to mingle with one another, making sure that the speed of his pour was consistent throughout.
Whoosh!
Surprisingly, at the very moment he was finished pouring the final drop of molten material on the anvil, the entire piece shone a myriad number of colors, eliciting the attention of the entire audience to shift towards Valyr as they wondered what he had done. Even Valyr was left staring at the item he had made in slight awe, not expecting a light show to appear whatsoever.
By the time the item had stop shining its lights, finally allowing everyone to feel the pureness of the four elements that was contained in the item, the young man removed the clay that surrounded the item during the pouring process, double checking if he had removed every bit of clay on the anvil in preparation for the process that would complete the second step.
"With the four elements connected to one another, the only thing left is to encapsulate it and turn it into a crystal." Taking out the only container that remained within the furnace all this time, Valyr tightly gripped onto the pair of tongs he was holding as he gradually moved the container a few centimeters above the item he had made.
"Molten Lesser Origin Fragment. Even if I wanted to get my hands on some of these, I wouldn\'t be able to." Taking in a couple of deep breaths to keep his composure, Valyr looked at his hands, which were now slightly trembling once again. "I definitely have to thank the Blacksmith Guild for giving me access to these materials."
"And that\'s why I\'ll repay them by showing them a replica of an artifact that would only appear in the future." Letting out yet another long and drawn-out sigh to stop his hands from trembling, Valyr soon began to pour the Molten Lesser Origin Fragments over the entire thing, keeping an eye on his pouring speed to make sure that the color would stay homogenous all throughout.
Fshhhh…
As the Molten Lesser Origin Fragments came into contact with the item Valyr had made, a faint sizzling sound resounded throughout the workshop, prompting a solemn expression to appear on Valyr\'s face as a brief hint of concern appeared in his mind, wondering if he was doing everything correctly.
Fortunately, by the time the final drops of Molten Lesser Origin Fragments he had been pouring all this time left the container, he obtained his answer.
Whoosh!
Once the Molten Lesser Origin Fragments had settled into place, the item released a great amount of light once more, slightly blinding everyone that was looking at Valyr\'s workshop as all of the items seemed to have taken on a single color for a brief moment. Not long after, this color changed to another one, only to go through multiple colors in a row before eventually landing on white, intensifying for a second before eventually disappearing.
Naturally, at this point, many of those in the audience, especially the blacksmiths, were curious as to what Valyr was trying to achieve. After all, almost all of them had come here to watch two people create a replica of the artifacts they had chosen.
Of course, it wouldn\'t be long until Valyr showed the crowd the audience he had chosen, deactivating both [Gambler\'s Discerning Eyes] and [True Prodigious Blacksmith\'s Sight] as he grinned at the crystal he had created.
"Alrighty."
"Time to piece it all together."
