Time passed between toasts and cups, and soon the feast came to an end.
After most of the dwarves paid their respects to Moria and Joshua, they stroked their beards and said goodbye with satisfaction and left. After all, in this world, the most important thing between people is relationship, even for dwarves. Through this banquet, they and Joshua, the lord of Moldavia, got to know each other, so it would be true. This line.
Of course, many dwarves looked at the warriors with a hint of respect when they left. The reason is simple - for a human being to have such a huge number, it is really rare to see it in a hundred years.
The guests dispersed, and Joshua, whose face was slightly red, also stood up.
Even with his physical fitness and alcohol capacity, he couldn't bear it after drinking so much dwarf liquor. Now, the warrior felt a little dizzy, so he immediately mobilized the fighting energy in his body and poured out the alcohol with some regret. The side effects are suppressed.
Originally, Joshua drank just to enjoy this rare and confused feeling, but that was not the case now. Now, it should be time to deal with business.
Turning around, he looked at the other side of the table. The old dwarf and the elf druid were looking at each other silently. Joshua could see that the feeling that they had to fight at any time between Claire and Moria had disappeared. Although the atmosphere between the two of them was still very cold and stiff, it was much more relaxed than before.
"It seems that giving them some space to talk is still effective."
He thought this, and then shook his head with some regret: "It seems that these two guys have known each other a long time ago? Claire looks quite young, but I didn't expect that she is hundreds of years old. This is the bad thing about elves, even though they are both Beauty, but appearance and age…”
While thinking about it, the warrior walked towards Moria and the others.
"Joshua, I was a little rude at the previous banquet. Because I met an old friend, I was too focused on reminiscing about the past..."
Noticing the warrior's approach, the old dwarf stood up to greet him. He spoke very straightforwardly: "Your armor is almost finished. You are just here to complete the last step. If you don't mind, you can follow me to cast it now." District, complete this final step.”
"No problem, then leave now?"
Of course Joshua would not refuse. Although the purpose of his coming here was to identify the strange steel crystal, getting the armor was also one of the goals. The warrior turned to his knights and Rin behind him and said: "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 happens that the warrior cannot deal with, then the knights will definitely be helpless. Therefore, Joshua brought these people here this time, in addition to being a lord who would have no momentum 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 was ready, the old dwarf simply walked out of the city hall. Joshua and Rin followed him to the street, and Claire also followed the warrior silently.
Joshua didn't pay attention to this little thing, so this strange four-person team walked through intersections and arrived at the [Core Forging Area] in the center of the city.
The so-called core forging area is where dwarves usually forge weapons, build machinery, and experiment with their new designs. In human terms, it is a research and development center plus a weapons testing ground, and it also automatically provides raw materials. It is where every large dwarf gathers The most important public place in the land surpasses the brewery.
The core forging area was extremely huge. It was shaped like a huge all-metal trapezoidal pyramid. Joshua looked up and down at a close distance. He could see that the bottom of this huge steel creation was submerged deep into the ground, even rooted in the ground. The magic power of the fire element is absorbed from the magma pool, and its top must be connected with countless tunnels on the way to release heat and exchange air.
This kind of building is rare even on the surface. The only people who can create such wonders underground are dwarves, sons of the mountains and the earth.
As the current leader of the rune dwarves in the North, Moria holds a part-time job as the Supreme Forger and has a very high prestige. Even with two humans and one elf, the guards patrolling around the core forge area did not stop them. They even came from a distance. He raised his hands to show respect, then walked in a direction and went to patrol other locations.
The entrance to the core forging area was a metal arch. Before entering, Joshua glanced at the stone tablet on the side with a passage written in Common Language.
[Black Steel Casting Furnace—Dangerous, please do not approach unless necessary!]
"It will probably feel a little uncomfortable after you go in."
The old dwarf also issued a reminder at the same time. His expression did not look like he was joking: "Our place is different from other dwarf forging areas. It is more dangerous."
Moria naturally would not tell lies. As soon as a group of people entered the core forging area, a hot breath suddenly hit their faces. The extreme high temperature brought by the dense fire element would make the air dry and scorching. , if it were an ordinary person, it would be extremely difficult to breathe, and the trachea and lungs would be damaged. However, three of the four people who came in at this time were golden powerhouses, and the other one was in the human form of the divine machine. , this dangerous environment seems to have no impact at all on these extraordinary beings.
Inside the core forging area, there is a bright magical light shining. As everyone continues to go deeper, they can see that in the inner wall, there are various kinds of magical light mist flowing in the translucent crystal pipe. This huge rune The machine is running all the time, making a deafening roar.
Joshua observed the equipment around him. The golden-red molten iron flowed smoothly in the translucent pipe beside him, and then flowed into various molds not far away. After the molds were filled, they would be sent to the distance along the automated crawlers. Go, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this familiar yet strange scene.
"I didn't expect that the dwarves would start industrializing magic energy so early. I originally thought that this place was just like other dwarf gathering places, just a big blacksmith shop. I really didn't expect that Northland already had a blacksmith shop in the year 832 of Starfall. The prototype of the Rune Factory was born.”
Looking at the neatly arranged steel-making furnaces and various rune equipment 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. Looking at these things would be rare in the future. When he saw the initial model of the rune instrument, the warrior couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Assembly line industrial production has begun to take shape. I don't know if the earliest model of the magic energy casting furnace hearth has been invented. I remember it seems to have been recently. It’s a pity that I don’t remember it very clearly.”
The technology on the Mycroft Continent - to be precise, the level of magic is not bad. It is now the year 832 of Starfall. Not to mention the rune factory that the dwarves have begun to take shape in front of them, there are also various types of magic in the Alliance of Human Kingdoms in the far south. Energy machines, special large-scale alchemy equipment that can automatically enchant various weapons and items. Although they are the simplest enchantment magics, they are also an epoch-making progress. In the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea, preparations should also be made seven years later. The super-large anti-country magical weapon [Eternal Glory Holy Light] can only be built. This magical weapon is so powerful that in the first abyss invasion battle in the future, it destroyed three demon legions with one blow and created a great foundation for the mainland. Other forces in the world lost precious time to counterattack.
As for the Eastern Human Plains, as the base camp of the mages in Mycroft Continent, their magic level is very high, and they have even reached the point where they can build huge floating cities and even floating islands. Many of the ultimate masters are no longer there. Instead of building the magic tower in the past, they gritted their teeth and accumulated resources to plan to build their own floating fortress. They have even begun to explore the star world. The third edition of the big map [Outer Star Void] was originally created by a certain archmage. Discovered by the Empty Fortress.
Moria could see the slightly surprised expression on Joshua's face, and he couldn't help but show a proud smile. The old dwarf smiled and said, "How about my carefully designed new production method, is it more efficient than before?" Is blacksmithing much faster? Of course, the armor I want to give you is hand-made by me. This kind of mold can be produced quickly, but the quality is not very good and can only be used to make military-standard weapons."
"It's very good. It can be said to have created a new era. Master Moria. Based on this alone, your name will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future."
Joshua was not flattering, he was telling the truth, "However, I think you have not fully realized the potential contained in this system, the rune factory... it is not used for blacksmithing or forging weapons. "
When he said this, the soldier couldn't help but think of the invincible steel legion in the coalition forces of various countries in the future.
"Not making weapons?" The old dwarf looked a little confused. He frowned and asked curiously: "What can you do?"
"Of course it's magic..."
While the two were talking, the group had arrived at a hall in the deepest part of the core forging area.
That is, the exclusive forging room of Iron Body Moria.
