Sam made sure, every batch of molten tal was mixed with the liquids he concocted and left the place and went to his ho.
Now, all he has to do is wait for the show to finish.
anwhile, the people in the forge don’t know what happened and they wouldn’t have cared even if they knew. They are tight on schedule.
Gnyan took up the challenged and promised that he would finish both orders in seven days. So, the artisans and workers, couldn’t stop, even if they want to. They must finish the job.
Even though the order is big, the forge is large and there are more than three hundred people working in it. From the lowest workers who only dump tal in the furnace and retract it to the highest person who supervises there are three hundred of them.
For the next five days, the tal never cooled down completely. It was hot most of the ti as they forged one after another and they were left in a large oven to get the required surface hardening.
For the next two days, the grinding process started. The cultivators being the workers is an advantage, they can grind things faster and easier with more precision.
After finishing the whole process, they were tested for a bit and placed aside for final inspection.
Even the ship manufacturing workshop is working in full swing. They had so easy ti because they could outsource so of the miscellaneous parts and they even have so parts in inventory.
By the last day, even their order is completed and only a last check remained.
But sothing happened in both the workshops.
When they are conducting final tests and placing them in spatial rings, they noticed that the blades and armors are different. For so reason, they could feel that they are brittle and when they slashed the blade on a wooden pole to test it, the blade cracked into two.
The sa went with the armor. The armor could barely withstand one strike and it beca full of cracks.
The sa thing happened to the next few and they started shaking on their feet. When the testing for the ships was being conducted, the basic test would be shooting high-pressure water jet and the water elent users are hired for this.
When they are testing them, every boat’s hull was destroyed as if it was made of rotten wood.
The two managers of the workshop are extrely frustrated and didn’t know what to do, they beca anxious and ran to the office on the docks, that is where gnyan is at the mont.
They reached and explained what is going and Gnyan’s face imdiately went pale, he ca to the workshops running and couldn’t help but feel a trepidation.
If this project didn’t succeed, not does he have to pay the money, he would also have to bear the losses of the production and from the looks of it, and the tal used on these weapons is completely spoiled. It cannot be reused, this would be such a waste.
As he was thinking about what to do and how to salvage the situation, the two young masters ca along with their assistants to take their products.
They were both directed to the factory office and served so juice. Gnyan was afraid to go into that room, today is supposed to be the date of the delivery, he doesn’t even have a proper excuse to get them off his back.
He nervously entered the office and looked at the four people waiting for him and before he could say anything, the other One started speaking.
"Gnyan, we have sothing to say regarding the order?"
"What would that be?"
"Double the order. But the second should be a grade higher, the first batch is only suitable for Great realm cultivators, but this ti, they should be able to be used by the Grand realm cultivators.
As for the ships, for the next batch we need a larger one, and the fish cabins should be wider. We would like to use them for shark hunting."
Gnyan felt numb, but he started thinking of a solution, he felt like this will give him a way out. But before that, he needs to find more about these people."
"May I know, what you are using them for?"
"We are going to conduct a fishing competition for the three hundred Great realm cultivators and to maintain the fairness, we wanted to provide everyone with the sa ship, but I contacted my father yesterday, so we decided to create a competition for the Grand realm cultivators too.
We have silver fin sharks in the waters near our city, they are mostly in Level-5 so they would be great way to test them, they will be the primary objective for the Grand realm cultivators, and the remaining fish are graded based on their rarity compared to the sharks.
As for armors, they are for conducting a special test for soldiers. It is also to maintain the fairness, we are giving the weapons to them ourselves."
When Gnyan heard this, he started coming up with so conclusions regarding their identity and he has so guesses on where they ca from and most important clue he got are the silver fin sharks.
There is only one place with so many silver fin sharks that they can even put up a hunting competition. But when he ca to that conclusion, he was a bit afraid that he would offend them if he sses up this order. That empire is clearly stronger than the Mov empire and he should be careful when dealing with them.
"I can deliver that order, but we are having so trouble with the cash flow due to your previous large order..." Gnyan didn’t continue but One just smiled and said.
"No problem at all, we will also give an advance paynt for this second-order too and you can deal with the process, but after ten days, we need both orders. If sothing happens, we wouldn’t be the ones to talk, my big brother and his big sister will co with their fleets and forces to discuss with the Golden Blaze family."
Two just let out a threat with a friendly smile and placed a spatial ring on the table.
Gnyan felt like he is riding on the tiger’s back, but he steeled himself and took the ring.
"Don’t worry, let just draft the contract."
With that, the contract was signed and Gnyan didn’t even realize what kind of pit he just jumped into.
The first thing he did after coming out is to send a pigeon to his ho. He needs to request so funds to cover the losses he suffered the previous, the whole batch of tal was scrapped and cannot be reused.
Even if it can be used, the golden blaze is not known for reusing the tal, they have a reputation to keep, but if it was reusable, he would have made sold it to so other forge that could use the tal.
After wallowing himself in self-pity, he went to get new tal, he spent money carefully this ti and the two days later soone from his family ca and asked about the situation, he didn’t dare to tell them that sothing happened to the products, all he said is that he got a large project and he estimated the raw material cost wrong and didn’t take enough advance.
He managed the person who seed to want to inspect this with so favors and was done with it, he managed to get the required funds and he started the process.
This ti, he was cautious and used a small portion of tals to make a small batch of products first and tested them, after he was satisfied with the products in terms of quality and durability, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and started for the big production.
But what he doesn’t know is that once again a shadow entered the forge and left. And this it didn’t co once or twice, it ca every other day at night and visited the furnaces and molten tals to give so additional ingredients to the raw tals.
Ti passed.
The tal is not showing any negative features during the production, but once it was cooled down completely, then it is slowly becoming brittle.
The artisans and workers are panicking. Gnyan is pacing left and right. He couldn’t redy this situation. He used too many resources and spent too much money, but there is no finished product, he couldn’t even buy them from others. Because no other forge has the sa production capacity.
As for the armors and swords, he can try and get so from the main forge in the imperial capital, but he would have to explain it to his father.
But what he didn’t consider is that rumors wouldn’t stop. The na spread that sothing happened in the Golden Blaze forge and the whole city ca to know in a single night as if soone is deliberately trying their hardest to let the whole city know about it.
The next day, Gnyan’s nightmare ca to life.
