In just one day, a huge metal fortress was built at the bottom of the mine.
Rumbling mining machines shuttled continuously, transporting tons and tons of high-quality metal ore from the ground to the inside of the metal fortress. Inside the metal fortress, there are conveyor belts running through the whole process, first transporting the rough and primitive metal ore to the ore crushing field.
There, metal ores, large and small, were thrown into the rumbling ore crusher, and when they came out of the next crawler, they had already become metal ore powders of the same size and uniform particles.
Then, after heavy screening and filtering, the soil and plant residues mixed in it were washed away, and the rest were ores with extremely high metal content. Before these ores are sent to the smelting workshop, there are many engineering mechanical arms at both ends of the transmission track, picking up those rare metal ores and associated magic gems, and placing them on other transmission tracks.
The whole process of ore crushing, screening, sorting and conveying is all in charge of construction machinery, which has achieved complete automation.
And at the gate of the last process, every quarter of an hour, a battle magic weapon came down the assembly line with rumbling steps and joined Gazlowe's army of magic weapons.
After several consecutive battles, Greem and other wizards have no interest in this kind of low-level magical equipment that consumes the enemy's strength by quantity. They have no rating of level 1 strength, but in actual combat, it takes three to four times the number to defeat or kill a level 1 dragonman.
Under normal circumstances, without five to ten dragonmen, it is impossible to threaten the first-level wizards.
From this decline in strength, we can see how much moisture the creatures in the lower planes have!
So the few wizards who stayed behind closed doors had nothing to do, so they naturally got together and began to study the upgrading and transformation of combat magic equipment.
Desera is a well-deserved supporter of violence.
He felt that the only reason why low-level magic equipment could not be used in big scenes was the lack of heavy weapons that could threaten high-level life. If the magic cannon could be transplanted to magic equipment, its power would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
However, with the size of a magic weapon, the amount of magic energy it can carry is always limited. If it is equipped with a big energy-consuming mana like a magic cannon, it may become a pile of scrap iron after two or three shots. No matter how many such magical machines are made, they will never be able to leave the metal fortress too far. What is equal to nothing is useless.
The poisonous woman Endor has been spending these days with the voodoo dolls that Greem cultivated, hiding in her secret room all day long, concocting various plagues and poisons for the voodoo dolls to swallow. Some time ago, the voodoo doll unexpectedly evolved a weird voodoo aura.
This time, the voodoo doll has completely turned into a poison doll!
Wherever it goes, those ordinary people who are not protected by witchcraft will be directly poisoned to death as long as they step into the voodoo aura, and then under the influence of the weird voodoo, they will evolve into terrifying servants full of plague poison .
This kind of minion is extremely powerful, with sharp claws, and fearless of life and death. Its body is full of various plagues and poisons, and it has the basic strength of a junior apprentice. Although not very strong, it is more than enough to be a cannon fodder.
Of course, the evolutionary success of this servant corpse also has its success rate.
Basically, the higher the level of intelligence and the more powerful the creature, the higher the success rate of evolving the servant. Taking humans as an example, the basic conversion rate is about 30%, while the conversion rate for goblins is around 15%.
This also means that if Greem breaks into a different plane alone, just a voodoo doll can pull him up an army of dead minions in a short period of time.
After being trained by Endor, the voodoo doll basically has quasi-witch-level strength now. If it can successfully evolve to the wizard level in the future, then the corpses it concocts will also rise and become stronger together.
It's just that the evolution of the voodoo doll is still unstable, and it can only maintain a close soul connection with Greem within dozens of miles. Once the distance exceeds a hundred miles, there will only be vague telepathy left. So Greem could only carry it with him all the time, but he couldn't use it as a completely independent individual.
As for the transformation of low-level magic equipment, the poisonous woman Endor's opinion is more radical.
She even proposed to deploy a more contagious and deadly super plague by herself, and spread it out from these low-level magical equipment, further weakening the native strength of the entire Lance plane.
For such a suggestion, Greem could only listen to it and never dare to take it seriously.
Now they are hiding in the metal mine, and the only enemy they face is a Tier 2 Wind Dragon. If he really followed Endor's advice, he would definitely be able to provoke all the dragon lords in the Lance plane.
At that time, there will be third- and fourth-tier giant dragons flying all over the sky, and terrifying dragonmen rushing from all over the mountains and plains. Even if Gazlowe has a steady stream of metal resources and inexhaustible magical energy, it is impossible to resist the opponent's inexhaustible energy. A terrifying army formed by the power of the plane.
So Endor's opinion is directly rejected!
In contrast, the flesh and blood puppet proposed by the worm witch Billis is more reliable.
The flesh and blood puppet is a special magic alloy forged by combining the flesh and blood of powerful magic creatures (Dragonmen) with selected high-quality alloys. This magical alloy combines the indestructible physical properties of special metals with the elemental properties of the flesh and blood of magical creatures.
For example, combining the flesh and blood left by the wind-type dragons with the ore of Eternal Gold can create a completely different kind of magic alloy--Fengjing Iron.
This is a magical alloy imbued with a powerful wind element. When the armor made of wind refined iron is attacked, it can spontaneously form a wind barrier, deflecting and blocking 37% of melee attacks and 65% of long-range attacks.
As for the magic long sword made of fine iron, every time it is swung with all its strength, it will be accompanied by a tornado of wind vortex. Heavier enemies will be stuck in place for 3 seconds and difficult to move, while lighter ones will be blown up directly, completely losing control of their bodies.
As for the witchcraft staff made of wind refined iron, it can accelerate the gathering of wind elements and increase the witchcraft attack power of wind wizards. On this point, Desera, the only wind wizard in the family, is full of praise, and can't help preaching the benefits of this kind of wind essence iron to everyone with his own personal experience.
It is undoubtedly too wasteful to use this kind of wind-refined iron to build magic equipment, and it is far more cost-effective than transporting them to the wizarding world to sell them.
The chip made a preliminary estimate. In the first battle in the Lance plane, the direct plane income that the flesh and blood of the wind-type dragon people can bring to the Crimson family is between 200,000 and 300,000 magic crystals.
In the past, wizards always regarded plane wars as a source of huge profits, and this is also evident!
However, this kind of war wealth is not something that anyone can distribute if they want.
Without the endless magic energy provided by the magic furnace and the iron wall provided by the metal fortress, a Tier 2 wind dragon plus hundreds of Tier 1 dragonmen would be powerful enough to crush any small wizard family.
And the Crimson Family formed by Greem didn't even have the strength to resist, and was about to be submerged in the berserk assault of the dragon army.
Regarding the transformation of low-level magic equipment, Greem's idea is to combine the battle magic equipment with the elemental golem he created, thus creating an elemental metal golem. On the one hand, the energy source of the metal golem comes from the magic furnace, and on the other hand, it can also be provided by the element crystal nucleus, which solves the problem of a single energy source.
And elemental attacks are undoubtedly faster and more powerful than those flashy goblin muskets and arcane rifles. Coupled with the protection of a solid metal body, the defect that the elemental puppet could not act as a qualified human shield in the past disappeared.
However, what kind of golem can best fit with which metal, which obviously needs a lot of witchcraft experiments to verify and screen. So in the following days, Greem also hid in the metal fortress and spent almost all his time in the temporary witchcraft laboratory.
Billis was busy refining wind refined iron, and Greem was busy combining metal magic equipment with elemental golems. The remaining two idlers, Desera and Endor, muttered, slipped out of the metal fortress without a sound, and ran back to the Swamp of Sorrows to hunt those rare alien creatures.
For wizards, hunting alien creatures, analyzing their physiological structure, and analyzing the source of their blood is also a must-do research work.
Only with a thorough and profound study of the natives of the plane can one understand the formation mechanism of the plane and the operation mode of the plane's laws from the side.
And the latter can often play a pivotal role in plane wars!
...
This is a scorched land with steaming heat.
The earth has cracked countless criss-crossing, winding and stretching huge canyons and deep trenches. Looking down from a high altitude, one can clearly see the rolling lava flowing slowly under the earth through these gaps.
Thick yellow smoke filled the air wantonly, and the air was filled with the pungent sulfur smell.
Volcanoes, large or small, are scattered all over the place, and from time to time, a thick column of lava fire will be ejected from them, adding some volcanic ash and lava flint with long black smoke tails to the dirty air here. .
And right in the center of the scorched land floating above the sea of lava, an exceptionally tall volcano stands tall. And in a ring-shaped lava sea formed at the top of the volcanic cone, there is a huge castle carved from obsidian.
This... It's a great castle floating on a sea of lava!
This place was originally peaceful, except for the rumbling sound of rolling lava, there were hardly any other abnormal sounds.
But suddenly, a clear and loud strange dragon chant came from the distant sky.
Immediately, the strong and sturdy body of the wind dragon Chucks appeared above the lava castle.
It leaned over to check the lava castle surrounded by crimson flames, finally gritted its teeth, and swooped down with its wings folded.
