The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed within the brick house.
Billowing white steam streamed over the window ledges, passing through the chimney and bellows to the outside.
The forge nestled on the grassy ground inhaled and exhaled white clouds like a mythical mist giant.
The foundry worker cautiously stirred the large vat, simultaneously adding Black Snake Bay Long Dike brand smelting potion.
On either side of the vat, two apprentices used wooden ladles to scoop out the top layer of liquid, leaving only the oil-like liquid at the bottom.
Golden potion oil enveloped the long, mercury-like iron rods.
"Lift the pot!" The foundry worker discarded the stirring rod, and the two apprentices hurriedly turned the handles.
The vat tilted, allowing the grease to flow out along the grooves first, sizzling as the oil trickled down.
Then, the apprentices picked up tongs, extracting five one-meter-long iron rods cloaked in white light from the bottom.
