Castle Crashers Blacksmith Novels & Stories

Alexei The Foundry is a bodyguard’s nightmare wrapped in iron and steam. It sits on the eastern edge of the lower district, a sprawling, blackened cathedral of industry where Silvercrest turns raw ore into plowshares, horseshoes, and weapons. As we ride through the wide gates, the first thing that hits me is the noise. It is a rhythmic, deafening cacophony. The crash of drop hammers, the hiss of quenching troughs, the roar of the blast furnaces. It makes communication impossible. It masks the sound of footsteps. It masks the sound of a bowstring being drawn.

Giant was saying, "that was all we asked of you. And you grudge us the food." "Be glad I didn't grudge you fire too." Craster was a thick man made thicker by the ragged smelly sheepskins he wore day and night. He had a broad flat nose, a mouth that drooped to one side, and a missing ear. And though his matted hair and tangled beard might be grey going white, his hard knuckly hands still looked strong enough to hurt. "I fed you what I could, but you crows are always hungry. I'm a godly man, else I would have chased you off. You think I need the likes of him, dying on my floor? You think I need all your mouths, little man?" The wildling spat. "Crows. When did a black bird ever bring good to a

She shivered and looked away. As they turned down another street, the entire block was filled with blacksmiths. Everywhere flew anvils and hammers, and the ping of metal rang throughout the street, each blacksmith seeming to echo the other. There were also clay pits with large flames roasting slabs of red-hot metal, on which they were forging horseshoes, swords, and all sorts of metal work. Caitlin noticed the faces of children, black with soot, sitting by their father’s sides, watching them work. She felt badly that the children worked at such a young age. Caitlin looked everywhere for a sign of Scarlet, of her Dad, of any clue of why they were here—but she found none.

I explained to him. “I completely understand you.” “Now, let’s discuss the plan.” I took the initiative. Tigor The sound of my heavy footsteps echoed down to the basement of the castle. I heard the clamping sound of the hammers and molten metals were scattered in the hot furnaces. The smell of the coal reminds me of the time of battle. All my weapons were thirty and now they need blood to fill their thirst. A slave approached me while running all his way to me, “Master, your weapons are ready!” he informed me.

Now here he was a full grown man of probably twenty five now trying to get me in better shape than I was when I was his age. Marius returned, his facial expression had changed… it was tighter and even more focused than he had been. He nodded once at Damon. “We’ve got a possible lead. There’s a low profile blacksmith in Amber Brook reportedly sold a batch of trinkets to a rogue five days ago. The same style. No permits.” Damon’s gaze sharpened. “Trinkets? They’ve never used trinkets before, do you still think it’s a part of the ring?”

I’d asked him what he intended to do with the Cracker situation because Steel was clearly now talking to him after he’d betrayed his trust… He said he had a plan, and today he hatched it. Took the punishment like a man and even apologized to Cracker. From what people were telling me, they’d made some sort of deal about going to The Ring, but… That couldn’t be! I wiped down the hammer and put it back in the toolbox that we had on hand down here. Most of the instruments were ordinary household items like a hammer, screwdriver, and other knick-knacks, but most of them had never even scraped a drywall… “Hey, Prez!” suddenly sounded behind me, and I spun around, faking a limping Cracker coming my

He held up a thick piece of iron shrapnel. "The metallurgy is crude," Cord said, turning the jagged metal in the morning light. "They cast it thick to compensate for the impurities in the iron. It’s heavy. It lacks tensile strength." He tossed the shrapnel back into the crater. "If Iron Crest forges our barrels, ours will be lighter. And they will fire further." I looked down the beach. Silas’s wolves had rounded up the survivors. There were only eleven left out of the thirty that had made landfall.

A collective murmur of profound confusion rippled through the gathered blacksmiths, their eyes wide with surprise as they looked at one another in absolute disbelief. "This new shipment of weapons must only bear our official Blood Thorne pack crest stamped directly onto the steel barrels, and you are not allowed to add any other traditional serial numbers or identifying maker marks," I added, my gaze locking onto the senior foreman who was standing near the largest furnace. The leader of the workshop, an honorable old man named Craig whom I had deeply respected since my childhood training days, stepped forward from the crowd with a heavy frown on his face. He wiped the black soot from his fo

I replied, sliding a wrench into my back pocket. "Good. Because the qualifiers today aren't just about speed. It's a contact sport," he warned, nodding toward the far end of the pit. "The Ravagers brought their new ringer. They call him 'The Butcher.' He likes to see how much chrome he can peel off other people's bikes while they're still moving."
