Cthulhu Gonfalon

The next day, the sky was so bright that the travelers got up early. Cook some simple food, wash it a little, and after eating and drinking, continue on the journey.

The situation on this day was no different from the previous ones. They walked very smoothly along the way. In addition to learning some common sense, Reif also learned some words.

The same is true on the third day, and the fourth and fifth days are the same.

On the fifth night, they arrived in the town of Taojin.

There is a gold vein near the town, and the name of “Taojin Town” comes from this. Many pioneers came from afar and wanted to find gold here and get rich overnight. But in fact, the texture of the gold vein is very poor, and there is not much gold produced at all - it is said that because of the erosion of negative energy, the three gemstone veins near the town of Pyroxene have also become poor in texture for this reason. .

The real pillar industries of Taojin Town are copper and iron ore. Therefore, this town is often referred to as the “ore town” because ordinary ore is its foundation.

Unlike gold and precious stones, copper and iron ore are not afraid of negative energy erosion, and even these two veins can effectively resist negative energy. Therefore, the ore town—oh, the gold-golden town—has often used ore to make the foundation. Outside the town, there are large areas of ore that use ore to lay foundations for business trips.

The leaders of Taojin Town are quite knowledgeable. They use local advantages to acquire a large number of low-grade ore, and then use them to lay the ground, centering on the town and spreading it around.

This is a huge project that has been in operation for more than two decades. At present, the ground around the town of Taojin is about two or three miles away. This certainly makes the town around the grass not to be born, but it also allows the Taojin Town to not worry about the tide of the extreme nights - the distance between the two or three is enough to completely block our sense of life. Moreover, even if they are going to attack the gold-gold town, they will walk on the ground without negative energy support. It will become very weak after a long time. When they come outside the town, even the children can kick them off. .

In the four northwestern towns, the gold rush town is quite safe. Therefore, the population here is also quite a lot. In general, it is a little prosperous. It can be regarded as a hub in the northwest, a rye town in the south, and a virtual mask in the north. The status is very important.

It is said that a few decades ago, the hub of the four northwestern towns was actually Huishi Town. However, the current town of Huishi has not been able to do it. If it is not the efforts of the mayor of Felix, I am afraid that the town of Huishi will even be broken. Finally completely ruined.

These things have little to do with Reif, because he can take a day off, he wanders around in the town of Taojin, and naturally comes to a blacksmith shop.

Copper ore and iron ore can't be sold much, but if refined into copper ingots and iron ingots, the price is much higher. And if you can go further, the copper ingots and iron ingots can be made into metal tools or weapons armor, and the price can be higher.

In the principle of taking local materials according to local conditions, there are several blacksmith shops in Taojin Town. The "old wrought iron" blacksmith shop that he visited at the moment is one of the most famous ones.

The blacksmith shop didn't call this name. A few years ago, a dwarf adventurer called "wrought iron" came here and bought a poorly-operated blacksmith shop to run his own business. The dwarf martial arts is strong and the technique of hitting iron is not ordinary. The most amazing thing is that he is not a powerful mage, but he has a precious magic furnace that can extract good copper and iron. With excellent craftsmanship and superior materials, it is natural to create quality products.

When Riff came to visit, he happened to see the magic furnace open. The appearance looks like a huge ball of furnace slowly spinning on the shelf, then opens a gap, from which the red copper liquid is poured and falls into the stone trough not far below. The hot copper contacted the slightly chilly air, and it quickly became a bright purple-red color, and then the color became more and more heavy, and finally became almost black.

After the copper liquid was poured out, the furnace continued to move on the shelf. When it reached the other deep pit, the whole furnace was completely opened, and many residues were mixed with the waste copper liquid and poured into the bottom of the deep pit.

Controlling the furnace is a stout dwarf, his head only to Reeve's chest, but Reif dare to bet, his arms are mostly thicker than their thighs! The dwarf was wearing a thick insulated suit and looked a bit like the protective suit he had when he went to the underground tunnel. He didn't know if it was a similar product.

After dumping the copper and waste, the dwarf controls the furnace to turn to the bottom of the shelf, and takes out a strangely shaped thing that seems to be a brush. In the inside, a brush, a spark, and even a brush. Some residue waste was produced.

At this point, once the furnace is opened, it is over. The dwarf fixed the furnace, then clap his hands, walked over, and took off the protective clothing on his head, revealing a look that looked like a spirit, looking at the appearance, about the way it was in his thirties.

For the dwarves, the appearance of "thirties" is about the age of seventy or eighty. This long-lived race can often live to be one hundred and fifty years old or even longer, which is truly enviable.

"Hello, do you want to buy something? Or is it purely fun?" The dwarf's face was smiling and didn't look as arrogant as the legend.

Reif quickly said that he only heard that the blacksmith shop is superb and curious to come and visit. Just now he noticed the price of the goods, and he can be sure that he can't afford it.

Um... Actually, I can’t really afford it, but it’s not necessary. It’s hard to get some money, no need to waste on buying something you don’t need.

The dwarf didn't mind, he said with a smile: "Let's just look at it, I don't mind if anyone wants to visit my workshop. As long as he doesn't mess up."

He said, he came to the counter and sat down, took the herbal tea that the apprentice had already prepared, and drank a deep mouth, showing a satisfied smile.

"Unfortunately not wine..." The dwarf, called "wrought iron," sighed.

"The big brother Palin said that he can't drink alcohol during working hours," said the equally strong apprentice.

"Hey! That kid reading is stupid, we dwarfs have a strong drink!" Wrought iron said with some dissatisfaction, "That boy... was a little bit of big bean diced at that time, now it has become a big man, actually counter Come over and let me drink without alcohol..."

"In fact, since the teacher listened to the advice of Brother Palin, after working hours without drinking, the craftsmanship has risen and no mistakes have ever occurred."

The dwarf sighed helplessly: "Yeah, so I had to listen to the kid. Really... Is reading really so useful? This is totally different from the tradition of our dwarf..."

"Tradition is not entirely correct." A low, but refreshing voice came from the door, and Riff turned around and looked like a young man of the same short. He wore a robe and a wooden pole. The top of the stick was inlaid with a gleaming gem. He wore a pair of glasses on his face and looked very cultural.

Behind him, the adventurers who have taught Raif that they are literate these days, and the other adventurers who are teachers in other carriages, follow with a very respectful look.

Reif was slightly surprised and instinctively told him that the young man was a big man.

He was just asking, the temporary teacher had noticed him in the past few days, and quickly ran up a few steps and introduced him: "This is our teacher, the director of the Void Mask Church, Mr. Palin."

As he said, he lowered his voice and said to Reif: "A great scholar, and an outstanding magician."
