Chapter 408 The Effect of Hammer
There are not many myths about the God of Furnace and Forge circulating in the Walterlan Continent. Like other high-sequence main gods, Cauldron has his own artifact. The most well-known is his old furnace. As for this hammer, there is no mention of it in any myth.
And the name of the hammer seemed to be... Hammer. Well, Bai Hao remembered it very clearly. That was the name of the Master of the Pot who was suspected of suffering from Alzheimer's disease at the time.
After thinking and observing for a while, Bai Hao decided to explore the other effects of the hammer and formulated a very detailed experimental plan for this purpose. Bai Hao firmly believed that making the body of a god become sensitive was definitely only the tip of the iceberg of the hammer's effects!
Besides, this hammer can be regarded as the first artifact owned by Bai Hao. Although he has to return it later, he now has the right to use the hammer. And this artifact from a high-sequence main god cannot have only the boring use of stimulating lust.
Bai Hao had long envied Youla, who could summon and use the Wheel of Fortune anytime and anywhere, while his boss, the Goddess of the Moon, did not seem to have left behind any convenient artifacts. The first artifact he owned actually came from a strange god he met for the first time. It could only be said that this fate was truly amazing.
In the following days, Bai Hao almost locked himself in the room except for the necessary times of eating and going to the toilet. He only occasionally flew out of the hotel alone to purchase some experimental materials or consult the dwarf forging master Cook for some professional knowledge.
Like his brother Cooper who lives far away in Campbell County, Cook is also a devout believer in the god of furnace and forge. Most dwarf forgers have a pair of huge bull horns hanging in their forge shops, which are the spiritual symbol of the cauldron.
Unlike other gods, Kama does not have a unified and specific image. Kama's believers only know that he has a pair of huge curved horns, but they have no idea about his facial features, body shape, or what kind of clothes he wears.
It seems that Cauldron is as "lazy" as its boss Orivia. It has not brought down any miracles in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years. However, to be precise, Cauldron has never come to the mortal world at all, so much so that Bai Hao cannot understand how his believers knew of its existence.
At least in the early days of the establishment of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, the boss had performed miracles such as the divine blessing, and he also personally taught the doctrines and bestowed divine inspiration to the original Bright Moon believers. Although it is not known whether it was because of Olivia's whim, at least his presence is still very felt.
Two days later, Bai Hao detected through a special verification reaction device that the hammer could interfere to a certain extent with the flow of any form of energy, including magic power, sub-divine power, mental power, soul power, and even divine power!
Four days later, a huge explosion occurred in the room on the top floor of the hotel, which directly alarmed all the people responsible for protecting Bai Hao. Not to mention that hundreds of powerful high-level mages suddenly gathered above the hotel, the pressure emitted by the four light elementals of the Moon Goddess Sect alone made Scott's guards tremble. Fortunately, Bai Hao was not seriously injured.
A week passed, and Bai Hao was completely sure that he had no means to destroy this seemingly plain hammer. Even the most powerful attack magic could not leave a scratch on its surface. It was a pity that the hammer was only the size of a palm, otherwise it could be used as a shield.
Another week passed, and Bai Hao had been staying in Cook's forge shop sweating. Through many effective experiments, he finally discovered that anything forged with a hammer was infinitely close to perfection.
Bai Hao had never been exposed to the craft of forging before. After all, the Campbell family had plenty of money, so generally they just needed to hire professional dwarf blacksmiths.
But after only studying with Cook for a week, Bai Hao was able to forge ironware that was comparable to Cook's most proud works.
It's not that Bai Hao is so talented in the field of forging, but because the various bonuses brought by the hammer are too outrageous. It allows Bai Hao, a fledgling and clumsy forging apprentice, to possess master-level skills.
Blowing, water cooling, casting, tamping, alchemy, smelting... Any forging magic released with a hammer as the medium can get an extremely exaggerated bonus. It is not as simple as multiplying it by several times.
The hammer can directly make the forging magic released by Bai Hao at will become accurate and just right, and can automatically correct all errors during forging, such as micro-manipulation of magic power, timing of casting, and fine-tuning of intensity. The hammer is like an extremely high-end auxiliary tool. Bai Hao can forge a perfect iron machine even with his eyes closed.
Although this hammer from God is much smaller than an ordinary forging hammer, its palm-sized size means it feels very bad in the hand.
But what is incredible is that when Cook, a dwarf master with hundreds of years of forging experience, touched the small hammer, he immediately determined that this was the best hammer he had ever used.
Bai Hao could never forget how strange the scene was as he saw Cook carefully holding the toy-like hammer with his strong hands. Even his forging movements became extremely strange. But the fact was that Cook forged a very perfect iron tool with the hammer, which even exceeded his satisfaction during his peak period.
Three more days passed, and Bai Hao was still sweating with a hammer in Cook's forge shop. With his bare chest and turban, and his forging movements identical to those of the dwarves next to him, he looked like a professional blacksmith.
Bai Hao felt that his thoughts seemed to be influenced by the hammer. He had no interest in forging before, but now he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't hit it once or twice a day.
Today happens to be the day that Youla and Olmia returned from Suville. The work of laying the array underground in the royal city has come to an end. The specific personnel arrangements and material coordination work have been completed. What remains is that the array masters are carving array talismans underground in the royal city day and night.
As soon as Olmia came back, she couldn't wait to find Bai Hao, but when she finally saw Bai Hao covered in sweat and with messy hair in the forge shop, she was still shocked. This unkempt and rough appearance made Olmia hard to accept.
"The mark that the devil left in the purple spike has taken effect!" Olmia grabbed Bai Hao and threw him directly into the hotel's bathtub, chattering, "Poor Viscount Campbell must have been affected by the devil's power. He hasn't taken a shower for several days and is covered in sweat. He looks like he's been possessed by a demon!"
Bai Hao looked at Olmia with a cold face in silence. As soon as this guy came back, he forcibly took him out of the forging shop, and then threw him into the bathtub roughly. He really was a patient with advanced mysophobia.
"Olmia, this is my new hobby, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"Humph, who knows? I heard from Xing Lili that you haven't showered for at least four days. It's hard to imagine that this isn't a mental illness!"
Bai Hao curled his lips when he heard that, and then took advantage of Olmia's inattention and pulled her into the bathtub. This made Olmia, who was wearing a clean white robe, immediately get soaked, revealing her plump figure.
"You, what are you doing? This is the priest robe I will wear to the meeting..."
Bai Hao ignored Olmia's exclamation and put his hands into her robes to rub them wantonly. He also said frivolously: "It's time for the reward. Let me see if the clean-loving Lady Jieyue has taken a good bath."
