Two weeks later, in a large secret room deep under the royal palace, the king and Ansaldo accompanied Xiao Chen and his party, standing in front of a large teleportation array.
"This is Master Lascano, and this is Master Midros. They are both great blacksmiths of our Fire Crystal Family. The two masters know that you need great blacksmiths to participate in the trial, and they are willing to enter the ruins of God with you." Ansaldo said.
Xiao Chen walked up to the two great forgers, his expression condensed, and then he secretly used his mental power to scan their bodies. Then he greeted them as if nothing had happened, thanking them for their support. Then he said to Ansaldo: "You have invested a lot of money."
"The Fire Crystal Family is never stingy with friends and never goes back on their promises. I'm glad I can help this time." Ansaldo said.
Xiao Chen already had the great blacksmith Farrell, and in addition there was another great blacksmith brought by Farrell, so he had four great blacksmiths.
Farrell returned to the family a few days ago accompanied by Sinclair and his two sons. He was shocked to find that the patriarch who exiled him had passed away. The new patriarch was very surprised that he suddenly appeared after being exiled for so many years. The patriarch of this small family was not enough to understand what was happening in the upper class of the kingdom, let alone what Farrell meant when he said that he now belonged to the Tower of China. But looking at the way he and his sons were dressed now, they knew that they were no longer unlucky people in miserable circumstances.
Farrell did not ask to return to the family, but only proposed to have a competition with the current forgers in the family to prove whose path is correct. This is also the favorite way for dwarves who are good at forging to solve problems.
The patriarch naturally could not remain indifferent to such a challenge, so he sent out the five most powerful blacksmiths in the family, one of whom was a great blacksmith.
However, Farrell had absorbed the smelting and forging techniques of Earth over the years and had long since transcended the realm of a blacksmith. In the competition, he used the unique temperature-changing magic array and magic etching pen of the Tower of China, and even took out a large small magic composite press from his storage ring. The Tower of China had used magic technology to restore and even improve the technology of the Earth world over the years, which completely stunned the dwarves.
When Farrell used the magic energy composite forging method to quickly create a family emblem with three-dimensional precise patterns on it, the metal blocks in the hands of the other forgers had not yet been forged into a rough shape, and there was no need to continue the competition.
Farrell conquered the entire family with the skills he had accumulated in the Chinese Tower. In particular, the great blacksmith Musia was refreshed by the technology of the Chinese Tower and decided to follow Farrell to study in the Chinese Tower despite the patriarch's obstruction.
Musia was a genius obsessed with forging, and he became a great forger at the age of seventy. Not only did he follow Farrell himself, but he also brought several descendants of his family, as well as his forger friends from other families. So Farrell's family trip not only fulfilled his own wish, but also brought a group of forgers to China Tower.
Xiao Chen naturally welcomed this. He found time to talk to these forgers, showed them the current industrial zone of the Tower of China, how the machines and assembly lines in the factory worked, and discussed with them the next industrial development plan.
In front of these dwarf forgers, there is a developed scene comparable to the legendary Seven Towers era, where magic power and electricity have become the two carriages pulling the industrial behemoth. Everyone has the opportunity to use extraordinary power to transform the world.
From then on, these blacksmiths became more determined to go to the Tower of China, so much so that when Xiao Chen was preparing to explore the ruins of the gods, Musia was determined to go with him.
In addition, the dwarf warriors' marines were also ready. Xiao Chen called in reinforcements from the ground to form a whole company of troops, and even brought in pneumatic cannons from the ship.
This time, the magic-breaking bullets equipped by the dwarf troops have been modified. Mei Tiantian and Farrell have been experimenting together for a week, and finally found a way to preserve the power of faith gathered on the statue made by Xiao Chen, and solidify it into the warheads of bullets and shells in the form of a magic circle. With ammunition enhanced by the power of faith, it will be easier to break through the defense formed by the power of faith of the false god, and it will also cause greater damage to it.
Their main task was to use guns to attack the spirit warriors that the false god might summon, and then use pneumatic cannons to attack the false god's body. After Xiao Chen and others tested and calculated, the pneumatic cannon was added with the power of faith, and its power was not inferior to the magic cast by the mage, and its speed was much faster.
In addition to the Marines, Huang Zheng and Roger also came underground with the reinforcements. Together with Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, Glade, and Evelyn, there were six masters and the saint Umeda Tian.
The team of more than 100 people stood in front of the underground teleportation array, but they were very quiet and solemn. The king saw Xiao Chen's marines and secretly compared them with his royal guards. He found that these people exuded a much stronger spirit than his warriors. Although the guards he selected might be better than these dwarves of the Tower of China in terms of individual ability, they were like a complete machine and looked integrated.
"I never thought of bringing so many warriors into the ruins of God. I thought these warriors of only middle and low levels would be completely useless in front of the false God." The king said to Xiao Chen.
"You think that low- and mid-level warriors are useless because you only see their own strength. But these warriors are different. With the help of technology, they can do many things that only masters could do before." Xiao Chen looked at his warriors and said with a proud tone, "The closer I am to the Saint level, the more I feel that the power of a single person is very limited."
He pointed to the sky and said, "If we want to accomplish something great, we must rely on the power of everyone. And this world has already gone astray before this."
The king seemed to understand what Xiao Chen said, but he felt that his words seemed to have other implications.
Xiao Chen said: "We are all ready, let's get started."
The king signaled several court wizards to start working. They put magic crystals into the corners of several magic circles and activated the teleportation circle. The king walked to a position on the edge of the magic circle and pressed his hand on a protruding stone slab. A ring on his finger began to emit light. After a moment, a teleportation light gate rose in the center of the magic circle. From this side of the gate, you can vaguely see the scene on the other side. It seems that there is a world with a very dark and gloomy sky over there, and there seems to be some wind blowing from there through the teleportation gate.
The king pointed at the portal and said, "From here is the path of the blacksmith trial. Going forward from here, you will encounter levels that test the blacksmith's ability. After passing all the levels, you should see a forging wall. There, blacksmiths can obtain the inheritance left by the ancient saints. They will give the most suitable inheritance based on the blacksmith's performance in the previous levels. But now none of this is important. Your target is the false god. You must be very careful along the way, because the false god may appear at any time."
The king placed a compass in Xiao Chen's hand and said, "If you can't find the false god in the entire forger trial area, then this compass brought back by Bohawks will help you find the secret passage to other areas. May the God of Forging bless you." (To be continued)
