Chapter 323 Guidance and Test
"You are truly the strongest blacksmith in the world!"

Looking at the pink trident floating up and down in the iron pot with green bubbles, the red-haired director couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with admiration:
"Even with such simple tools, you can still create top-notch anomalies. It's really amazing!"

"Hmph, it's rare to see something strange!"

After curling his lips in annoyance, the square-headed old man with a smug look in his eyes said:

"Compared to when I was alive, the tools used to forge anomalies have become much better, but the level of blacksmiths has declined. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"It's because they are so meticulous! They are so particular about the forging environment and materials!"

He used the tool in his hand to push down, scraping off a large piece of paint from the iron pot. Then the square-headed old man snorted with dissatisfaction:
"The source of the abnormality is emotion! It is obsession! It is expectation! Ultimately, it is the power of the mind, and the mind has no 'standard answer'!

Nowadays, these blacksmiths always think that if they use the best blacksmithing tools and the best materials, they will definitely be able to make good things. Once they can't make something they like, they think it's because of the bad materials or the wrong process. They completely ignore the importance of the soul. This is a complete wrong path!"

The third-generation director, who had not noticed that his coffin had been stolen, was aroused to talk and complained with dissatisfaction:

“I tell you, the human mind is the most complex and the simplest. As long as you can understand it, figure it out, and then guide it appropriately, it is enough. The process and tools are all empty and can only affect your success rate, but cannot affect the effect of the finished product at all.

If you don't believe me, look at me. Even if I use a furnace made of a few broken bricks or a large pot picked up from the roadside, I can still forge a True God-level anomaly. If it weren't for the image of 'flame' and 'forging', I wouldn't even need a pot, I could just use my bare hands to make anomalies!"

"How could I not believe it?"

Looking at the fork that was gradually taking shape in the pot, the red-haired chief secretly sent a signal to urge Leon to come back as soon as possible, while smiling and complimenting:

"From the beginning to now, whenever the position of Taurus Director becomes vacant, you must be the best blacksmith in the world. This is enough to prove your level. If even you don't believe it, who else can I believe?"

"Haha, you're just talking."

After glancing at the fawning red-haired director, the square-headed old man curled his lips and said:
“If you believe me, why don’t you come to me more often to fight with me?
I know it very well! You little girl are very cunning, and you never tell the truth. If it weren't for the Taurus of this generation who crowned himself, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see you!"

"You are wronging me."

Noticing from the corner of his eye that Leon was carrying the coffin into the cemetery, the red-haired director breathed a sigh of relief, then narrowed his fox eyes and said with a smile:

"I also want to come to you more often to make things for me, but firstly, you live in the dead world all year round, so it is too troublesome for you to come here once. Secondly, there has been no major movement in recent years, so there has been no good materials. For ordinary things like those, they can just be given to ordinary blacksmiths to practice, and there is really no need for you to help.

Besides, even though they have practiced all their lives, they are still not as good as you, but they are also the inheritors of the blacksmith secrets. If they trouble you for something slightly better, those ordinary blacksmiths will never have the opportunity to practice, and the blacksmith secrets in the bureau will be discontinued. What will happen?"

"Tsk, if you ask me, your current level is no different from being a generational failure...Okay, come over here, kid, the stuff is ready!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that the square-headed old man had completed the forging and had put the coffin lid back to its original place, Leon hurriedly took half a step forward, completely merged with the illusion created by the red-haired director, and then walked quickly towards the two of them.

"Eh? What's wrong with you?" After looking at the beads of sweat on Leon's forehead, the square-headed old man couldn't help but frowned and asked with puzzled eyes:

"My stove is colder than ice water, why are you sweating?"

Oh no! It's going to be exposed!

After hearing the question from the third-generation director, Leon, who was sweating from running, was slightly startled. He quickly raised the back of his hand to wipe off the sweat, and then followed the communication method taught by the director in advance, and said respectfully:
“I should be excited… The contemporary Lord Taurus once gave me some guidance and taught me some introductory techniques of the secret art of blacksmithing, so I can be considered a blacksmith.

For a blacksmith, being able to personally witness the forging process of the undisputed number one blacksmith in history really made me feel overwhelmed and I could hardly control myself, so I sweated a little."

"Tsk... Another little jerk with no truth in his mouth!"

Although he could tell at a glance that Leon was talking nonsense, the square-headed old man's mouth twitched upwards unconsciously after hearing the words "the most worthy blacksmith in history", and then waved his hand with a look of disdain:
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I'm too lazy to ask... Come here. Since you're someone brought by Olivia, if there's anything you don't understand about the secret art of blacksmithing, I can give you some pointers."

Can you give me some advice?
After hearing what the square-headed old man said, Leon's expression couldn't help but brighten up slightly.

The director was right! The core logic of communicating with this third-generation gentleman was to always mention "the strongest blacksmith" every three sentences. As long as this sentence could be said, the other contents would not matter.

"Thank you, Mr. Sandai!"

After opening the badge panel and switching out the two badges of "Inheritor of the Mystic Arts (Taurus)" and "Inheritor of the Mystic Arts (Aquarius)", Leon bowed to the square-headed old man with gratitude and guilt, and then asked:

"I want to ask you..."

"Wait, I haven't finished talking yet!"

After raising his hand to indicate a wait, the Third Director crossed his arms across his chest and raised his head slightly, saying:

"Although I don't mind giving you some pointers, not everyone is worthy of my guidance. You have to let me see your level first!"

Leon was startled when he heard this. He glanced at the big pot with green bubbles coming out of it and said with some embarrassment:

"You mean... let me forge an abnormal object for you on the spot?"

"Let's just forget about hitting things."

After hearing what Leon said, the square-headed old man said with a hint of disdain:

"The level of blacksmiths nowadays is too low. It's annoying to see you carving things. I don't want to suffer this kind of torture... Well, you just stood next to me and watched how I made abnormal objects. I'll use this as a test question!"

He reached out his hand and swiped around in the cauldron, then threw the things that sank to the bottom of the cauldron to Leon. Then, looking at Leon who looked a little hesitant and obviously had no confidence in the test, the square-headed old man couldn't help but chuckle and said,
"Come on, don't pour power into it to activate it. Just use what you learned from this generation of Taurus and refer to my previous forging process. Tell me what kind of anomaly I made for you?"
