In this chapter, the blacksmith explains the concept of alloying, which is the process of refining a metal by combining different metals into a single substance. In other words, forging a metal is no longer a single thing, but an "alloy metal" . This means that the next thing you can do is to make an alloy of different metals. This is called "guardian creation" , and the success rate for this step is only about 30% . The first purpose of forging an alloy is to improve the quality and characteristics of the metal. The second purpose is to complete this process perfectly, so that the metal can reach the next level of refinement. The moment the metal is formed, the "future of its development" platform is decided . So, the next step for the blacksmith is to learn how to make "alloy metals." This is the first time he's learned such a thing, and he is so happy to be able to do it. He's going to teach the blacksmith how to use a hammer to make alloy metals. The blacksmith says that he'll take a silver piece and a piece of magic silver to make a silver jade. He also says that the blacksmith has done a good job of refining the metal, and that he doesn't know if the kid is calmer than his peers, but he does know that it's hard for him
