Arcane Lord

However, what surprised Xia Duo was that when Brotto got a gray-black hammer, his whole state immediately changed. Although his eyes were still a little drunk, his body stood firmly. in front of him.

"Tell me what weapons you need to build!"

Xia Duo hesitated for a moment and took out a few design drawings. At the same time, he continued to take out fine gold from the portable space. The fine gold reserve of the Tower of Time was very limited, and it was far inferior to the unlimited reserve of Mithril.

He brought all the fine gold from the supply department of the Tower of Time, which was less than 200 pounds in total. The main purpose of this fine gold was to reward the soldiers and officers of the Saville Territory to make high-quality weapons and equipment. The tower's inventory has not increased for decades.

If it were not for the purpose of making dragon-slaying weapons, perhaps the fine gold would not be used up for decades.

However, although the metal of fine gold is expensive, Netheril has the ability to refine it independently. It can be bought when it is used up. This is mainly due to the application of fine gold. It is not just the purity. Sometimes the formula of the alloy is the key. the most important.

Unlike mithril, it mainly uses its high compatibility with energy in a high-purity state. To some extent, it can become a substitute for the string of the magic network, similar to the superconducting materials on the earth.

Once the purity of the mithril components in a magic item decreases, it will either become disposable, or the link with the magic network will become unstable, affecting the actual use of the magic item.

Due to the phenomenon of elemental transmutation, the purity of mithril components in magic items is reduced, which is almost an inevitable process when used, it just takes a long time.

Therefore, spellcasters always have an infinite desire for (high-quality) mithril. Mithril is often associated with magic and can be regarded as a reflection of a country's magical strength.

But fine gold is only hard. Except for the situation like Xia Duo, when else would it need to be used in large quantities?

…

Seeing Sha Duo take out a pile of small fine gold nuggets, the hammer in Brotto's hand fell to his feet with a plop. He rubbed his eyes and asked with some disbelief: "How many weapons do you want to make?" ?”

Although making pure adamantine is the simplest method of forging adamantine weapons, the experienced Broto knows that in actual use, such a heavy weapon is very unfriendly to humans, and the weapon itself is not very clever.

The truly reasonable approach is to forge alloys, so as to maximize the advantages of fine gold and other metals. Seeing so much fine gold appearing in front of him, Brotto suddenly woke up from his drunkenness and asked Chateau again, "How many weapons do you want to build?"

"Look at the drawings!" Xia Duo stretched the drawings towards Brotto, "There are only two pieces, one melee weapon and one special weapon. As for the tip of the javelin, is that a weapon?"

Brotto took the drawings hesitantly, flipped through them a few times, and then looked up at Xia Duo, his eyes full of doubts, "That's all?"

"That's all, what's wrong?"

"If we only have these few weapons, we won't be able to use so much fine gold."

Although he really wanted to deduct part of the fine gold from him as money for drinks, Chateau was not an ordinary customer who took advantage of him. Brotto regarded Chateau as a friend, so naturally he would not take advantage of his friend. Faced with the temptation of so much fine gold, he Strictly adhere to the fine traditions of the dwarves.

Of course, Brotto would not admit that the bottle of liquor brought by Chateau was more tempting to him. If he wanted to drink more liquor, he could not play tricks at this time.

…

After agreeing on the number of weapons, the formal production process came next. Brotto first asked Chateau who used the weapons, how powerful they were, and whether he had any special habits.

When he heard that these weapons were prepared by Sha Duo for himself, Broto couldn't help but widen his eyes. Even his neatly braided beard seemed to feel the surprise in his heart, trembling with his breathing.

"Aren't you a mage? What do you need these weapons for? Oh, by the way, the last one seems to be a magic weapon, but do you also want to use the sword and javelin?"

Hearing this series of questions, Sha Duo immediately realized that Brotto might not know that the dragon disaster could appear at any time. Otherwise, why wouldn't he think of slaying the dragon?

It happened that Xia Duo also wanted to ask Brotto if he knew anything about the "Dragon Madness Lock". If he couldn't ask the elves, he might also gain something by asking the dwarves, so he said:

"Uncle Broto, how long has it been since you went out?"

"Going out? What's wrong? Do I still want to go out?" Brotto said doubtfully.

Only then did Xia Duo remember that this guy almost never went out. Even if he never stopped drinking, there would be a dedicated person delivering it regularly, so this question was in vain.

So Xia Duo told about the situation of the scarlet flashing star in the northwest sky. Brotto really knew something about it. When he heard a scarlet flashing star suddenly appeared in the sky, he hurriedly took a small step, regardless of the fact that Xia Duo was still in the house. Short leg, dashing towards the outside.

Chateau followed closely behind and came to the street outside the blacksmith shop. He happened to see Brotto looking around and kept mumbling, "Where is it? Where is it?"

Xia Duo was immediately happy when he saw it. Due to his height, he could see the scarlet star in the northwest sky, but Brotto's sight was blocked by the building opposite, which made him jump a little. .

"Uncle Broto, you can see it if you go eastward." Sha Duo reminded.

There are almost no people on this street who don't know the dwarf Broto, but because Broto has lived here for so long, everyone keeps a distance from this dwarf who occasionally says "What's your grandpa?" .

Therefore, even if someone noticed that Brotto was looking around, no one would step forward to remind him. Of course, Shado's presence was another reason.

And when Brotto finally saw the scarlet flashing star with his own eyes, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He turned back to the blacksmith shop, picked up the hammer from the ground, his expression kept changing.

Seeing this, Xia Duo quickly asked, "Uncle Broto, is the shining star in the sky really related to the dragon?"

"Yes, every time that flashing star appears in the sky, there will be a dragon disaster on the ground. A disaster caused by a giant dragon. I experienced a dragon disaster when I was a child."

When the dragon disaster was mentioned, Broto couldn't help but shudder. He would never want to encounter that kind of scene again in his life.

"What exactly is the dragon disaster? Is it really caused by the Elf Mystery Lock?" Sha Duo asked again.

"Dragon disaster!" Broto sighed and slowly told his experience——

"I was still young at that time. I only knew that one day a group of white giant beasts suddenly flew from the north and attacked our city on the surface. They attacked all living creatures in sight like crazy, even if they were shot by giant crossbows. I didn't care at all about being hit by magic or magic, and only thought about destruction. At that time, just to protect me, my parents were hit by a cold breath in front of me, and turned into two lifeless ice sculptures. And those white giant beasts I later Then I realized it was a white dragon from the northern ice field.”

"I'm sorry to remind you of these unpleasant past experiences."

"Don't be sorry. The white dragon that killed my parents was also killed quickly. Dwarves don't shy away from talking about this."
