Forging The Path To Godliness

Chapter 150: Assassination

“How should I deal with the Odin clan?” After gaining a burst of strength, Ye Feng became very confident, of course, with his current strength, there was a basis to feel confident.

However, his strength was only sufficient to protect himself, he was still unable to attack the Odin clan directly, he could not match their collective force.

However, Ye Feng could not think of a good method now, he was strong in fighting and forging, but in other aspects, he was quite lacking.

“No, I need to continue laying low.” After thinking for a while, Ye Feng smiled bitterly to himself: “I don’t have a chance now, furthermore, it is too tough to fight an entire clan alone, the Odin clan even has influence in the Capital City as well.”

“I am just one person, I am just too weak. That is unless I can find a good opportunity.”

Ye Feng could only continue to forge now and raise his strength, after all, this situation was caused by the Odin clan, it was a good thing for him to have a peaceful life now.

No matter what scheme the Odin clan was planning, as long as it did not harm the people around him, Ye Feng would not care.

As for the ‘grudge’ they had with Avril and Blake, it was not a big issue, although they had to take revenge, they needed a suitable timing.

Revenge was a dish best served cold.

But Ye Feng did not expect that the Blacksmith Shop that had been quite empty for some time actually got visited by several Blacksmiths on this day.

Most of Aden City’s Blacksmiths belonged to the Blacksmith Guild, ever since he came, because of all the rumors spreading around Aden City, many of these Blacksmiths came to spar with him.

Of course, most of them were here for that fictitious supreme forging technique that he was said to possess.

During the period when the Odin clan kidnapped Avril, no Blacksmiths came to spar with him. Most of those who wanted to come had already visited him, while the others were influenced by the Odin clan.

Seeing that the Odin clan was making a move, the rest did not dare to do anything.

But now, people actually came to find him. He was even familiar with two of them, they were members of the Blacksmith Guild, they had sparred with him in the past.

“What is the matter?” Ye Feng looked at the four people at the door in peculiarity.

He was familiar with two of them, they were from the Blacksmith Guild, as for the other two, Ye Feng had never seen them and could not confirm.

But looking at their physique, they did resemble Blacksmiths.

“Sir Ye Feng, we are here to ask you about matters regarding forging techniques, you won’t reject us right?” The leader smiled and said sincerely.

“Hmm, then come in.” Ye Feng showed an indiscernible frown but did not reject them, he let them in.

Although the exchanging of pointers of forging techniques depended on the person, most people were willing to converse and exchange knowledge, as long as their own core techniques were not leaked, interaction often led to more gains than losses.

Although Ye Feng was suspicious of these people, he could not reject them outright, after all, he had no evidence, he was just feeling a little strange because this was a sensitive time.

If these four were really here to exchange pointers, he would not reject them.

‘I just have to be careful...’ Ye Feng thought to himself as he sighed lightly, bringing them into his forging room.

“Then let’s get to the point.” Ye Feng nodded and stopped talking.

No matter what they wanted, as long as he exchanged pointers with them while staying vigilant, it would be fine.

“Of course.” The Blacksmith from earlier smiled as he said: “These are our new disciples, they have just joined us, they are here to learn from our exchange.”

The two at the back nodded obediently, they seemed quite innocent.

Ye Feng looked at them in suspicion but did not notice any flaws, they did seem like disciples and masters.

Shaking his head, Ye Feng got these thoughts out of his mind as he started to speak before his forge.

...

“I think that by raising the temperature when we assemble the equipment, the fusion process will become smoother.” The leader frowned as he said.

Once they started the discussion, they quickly got into a serious state, if not so, their forging skills would not have reached such a stage.

“Your temperature is too high normally, even if you can fuse them together, there are some flaws in the materials.” The other person spoke, although they came together, they were not from the same lineage, so they had their respective forging techniques.

“Guys, we can’t be so narrow-minded...” Ye Feng felt a little helplessly as he urged them: “Although most of the materials are suitable for fusing at a higher temperature, it will destroy the special traits inside them. As for higher grade materials, although they are hard to destroy, the temperature required is also varied.”

He was talking about ordinary materials, not the rarer materials.

After all, rare materials were often ‘hard to deal with’, some were very fragile while others were very tough or flexible.

“So what if the material is destroyed, wouldn’t it be fine if the end product’s power is not affected?” The Blacksmith was unwilling to relent.

“Actually, there is no point in discussing this matter for us, after all, the core idea is that the equipment should not be affected. There is nothing much to discuss.” Ye Feng interrupted them, this was purely a personal issue, it had nothing to do with forging techniques.

Like that Blacksmith who wanted to use higher temperature, it would only make the fusion process easier, but the strength of the weapon would not change. At the same time, the material itself would be ruined so the weapon’s lifespan would be greatly reduced.

This was not a problem for Blacksmiths, after all, when they made weapons, they would not know how long the weapon could last.

As long as it was powerful and useful, that was all that mattered for the user.

“You two, take a look at this blueprint, I obtained it recently, but I think the core is not normal?” The Blacksmith stopped arguing, after looking at the person beside him, he took out a blueprint and handed it to Ye Feng.

“Let me take a look.” Ye Feng was quite curious about this, he took the blueprint and started looking at it with the other Blacksmith.

“An armor?” Ye Feng was drawn to this blueprint at first sight, this armor’s forging method was quite extraordinary.

But he did not notice that the Blacksmith who was beside him had taken out a dagger at some point.

The other three also noticed the Blacksmith’s action, they tensed up but did not look at Ye Feng to not draw his attention.

‘Hehehe, he is done for...’ The Blacksmith’s lips curled into a smile as he stabbed at Ye Feng’s waist.

But at the next moment, his expression froze.

Clank....

This was not the sound of a dagger stabbing into flesh.
