Soul of Burning Steel

Time passed between toasting and exchanging cups, and soon after, the feast was over.

After paying their respects to Moria and Joshua, most of the dwarves stroked their beards, bid farewell and left contentedly. After all, in this world, the most important thing between people is the relationship, even for dwarves. Through this banquet, they got to know each other with Joshua, who is the lord of Moldavia, so it is worthwhile. This line.

Of course, when many dwarves left, they looked at the soldiers with a trace of respect, and the reason was simple-as a human being, it was really rare to see such a large number in a hundred years.

After all the guests dispersed, Joshua, whose face was slightly red, also stood up.

Even with his physical fitness and drinking capacity, after drinking so much dwarf spirits, he still couldn't bear it. Now, the soldier felt a little dizzy in his head, so he immediately mobilized the fighting spirit in his body, and with some regrets, the alcohol Depressed side effects.

Originally, Joshua drank alcohol to enjoy this rare and muddled feeling, but not now. Now, it should be time to deal with business.

Turning around and looking at the other side of the table, the old dwarf and the elf druid were staring at each other silently. Joshua could tell that the feeling that Clare and Moria had to fight at any time had disappeared. Yes, although the atmosphere between the two is still very indifferent and blunt, it is much more relaxed than before.

"It seems that giving them a little space to talk is still effective."

He thought of this, and then shook his head with some regret: "These two guys seem to have known each other a long time ago? Clare looks quite young, but I didn't expect to be hundreds of years old. That's not good about elves, although they are both Beauty, but appearance and age..."

While thinking, the warrior walked towards Moria and the others.

"Joshua, the previous banquet was a little rude, because I met an old friend, I was too focused on reminiscing about the past..."

Noticing the approach of the warrior, the old dwarf stood up and greeted him. He spoke bluntly: "Your armor is about to be cast, and you just came here to complete the last step. If you don't mind, then you can follow me to cast it now." District, complete this final step."

"No problem, so let's go now?"

Of course Joshua would not refuse. Although his purpose of coming here was to identify the strange crystal of steel, taking the armor was also one of his goals. The warrior turned his head and said to his knights and Rin behind him: "Everyone, move freely, Rin, follow me."

"Yes!" "Yes, master."

Generally speaking, the knights should serve as guards and follow Joshua all the way, but if something happened that the soldiers couldn't deal with, then the knights would definitely be helpless. Therefore, Joshua brought these people here this time, in addition to being lackluster as a lord without some people around him, it was also because he wanted to purchase a large amount of supplies from the dwarves, and the knights were humanoid porters.

After everyone got ready, the old dwarf simply walked out of the city hall, Joshua and Rin followed him to the street, and Clare also silently followed behind the warrior.

Joshua didn't care about this trivial matter, so this strange four-person team passed through the intersections and came to the [Core Forging Area] in the center of the city.

The so-called core forging area is the place where dwarves usually forge weapons, construct machinery, and experiment with their new designs. In terms of humans, it is the research and development center plus the weapon testing ground, which also automatically provides raw materials. It is where every large dwarf gathers. The most important public place in the world, surpassing the winery.

The core forging area is extremely huge, and its shape is like a huge all-metal trapezoidal pyramid. Joshua looked up and down nearby, and he could see that the bottom of this huge steel creation was submerged deep in the ground, and even rooted in the The magic power of the fire element is absorbed in the magma pool, and its top must have passed through countless tunnels on the way to release heat and exchange air.

This kind of building is rare even on the surface, and only the dwarves, the sons of the mountains and the earth, can create such a spectacle underground.

Moria, as the current leader of the rune dwarves in the North and part-time the highest foundry, has a very high prestige. Even with two humans and an elf, the guards patrolling around the core forging area did not stop them. He raised his hand to show his respect, then went in one direction to patrol another location.

The entrance to the core forging area is a metal arch. Before Joshua entered, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a stone tablet on one side, on which was written a paragraph in common language.

[Black Steel Casting Furnace—Dangerous, please do not approach it unless necessary! 】

"After going in, it will probably be a little uncomfortable."

The reminder from the old dwarf was also issued at the same time, and his expression did not seem to be joking: "Our forging area is different from other dwarves, and it is more dangerous."

Moria naturally wouldn't tell lies. Just after the group entered the core forging area, a hot breath rushed over. The extreme high temperature brought by the dense fire elements will make the air dry and scorching hot , if it is an ordinary person, even breathing will feel extremely difficult, and the trachea and lungs will also be damaged. However, out of the four people who came in at this time, three are gold powerhouses, and the other is a human form of divine machine , this dangerous environment seems to have no effect on these extraordinary people at all.

Inside this core forging area, there is bright magic light shining. As everyone continues to go deeper, they can see that in the inner wall of it, there are various colors of magic light and mist flowing in the translucent crystal pipe. This huge rune The machine was running all the time, making a deafening roar.

Joshua observed the surrounding equipment. The golden-red molten iron flowed smoothly in the translucent pipe beside him, and then flowed into various molds not far away. Go, seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that the dwarves began to industrialize mana so early. I thought it was just a big blacksmith's shop like other dwarf gathering places. I really didn't expect it. There was already a blacksmith shop in the North Land in 832 Starfall. The prototype of the rune factory."

Looking at the steel-making furnaces and various rune equipment neatly arranged around him, Joshua looked a little surprised. He knew that although these things looked simple, they were the prototypes of the huge machine factories of later generations. Seeing the initial model of rune equipment, the soldier couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "Assembly line industrial production has begun to take shape, and I don't know if the earliest model of magic energy casting furnace core has been invented. I remember it seems to be in the recent period. It’s a pity that I don’t remember very clearly.”

The technology on the Mycroft Continent—to be precise, the level of magic is not bad. It is now Starfall 832. Not to mention the rune factory that the dwarves have begun to take shape in front of us. The magic machine, that kind of special large-scale alchemy equipment, can automatically enchant various weapons and items. Although they are the simplest enchanting magic, they are also an epoch-making progress. In the holy mountain of the distant sea, it should be preparing for seven years now. The super-large anti-country magical weapon [Eternal Glory Holy Light], which can only be built later, is so powerful that it even destroyed the three demon legions in one blow in the first abyss invasion battle in the future. Other forces on the mainland took precious time to counterattack.

As for the Eastern Human Plains, as the base camp of mages in the Mycroft Continent, their magic level is very high, even reaching the point where they can build huge floating cities and even floating islands. Many extreme-level archmages are no longer there Instead of building the magic tower in the past, they gritted their teeth to accumulate resources and planned to build their own floating fortress. They even started to explore the astral world. Empty Fortress found.

Moria saw the slightly surprised expression on Joshua's face, and he couldn't help showing a proud smile. The old dwarf smiled and said, "Well, is my well-designed new production method more efficient than before? Is it much faster to blacksmith? Of course, the armor I want to give you is hand-made for you. The production speed of this kind of mold is fast, but the quality is not very good, and it can only be used to make military-style weapons."

"Very good. It can be said that a new era has been created, Master Moria. Based on this alone, your name will definitely be recorded in the annals of history in the future."

It's not flattery, Joshua is telling the truth, "However, I think you haven't fully realized the potential contained in this system, the rune factory...it's not for forging iron or forging weapons .”

Speaking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but think of the invincible steel legion in the coalition of various countries in the future.

"Don't make weapons?" The old dwarf looked a little puzzled, he frowned, and asked strangely, "What can you do?"

"Of course it's mana..."

While the two were talking, a group of people had already arrived at a hall in the deepest part of the core forging area.

It is also the exclusive forge of Iron Body Moria.
