Chapter 182 The Iron Fort (5)
Danica stared at the stone in the transparent cover, and couldn't see anything.
Seeing Danica's face a little confused, True explained: "This is the heart of that Titan."
The project that has always been listed as the top secret by the Dwarves is to excavate the ruins of Titans.
Titan is an ancient species, and its active years were much earlier than the dragon. It is speculated that it should have been in the late wilderness era, but the specific details are no longer verified. According to some ancient myths and relics excavations, Titan, like the dragon, is a powerful creature and has established a brilliant civilization. This should be the first civilization that appeared in this world.
Titan ruins are of great help in studying the history of ancient times, but there are very few Titan ruins existing in this world, and only two or three have been excavated now. Moreover, the weathering and erosion are very serious. The details of the buildings and sculptures cannot be seen clearly, and only a rough outline can be seen - after all, it has been too long and no civilization can withstand the erosion of time.
By chance, the dwarves discovered a Titan ruin in the depths of the Northwest Mountains, which is of course a big deal for archaeology, but the Dwarves Kingdom did not care much, and archaeology was something scholars should care about. But not long after the official excavation began, the Dwarves Kingdom sent troops to take over the excavation of the ruins and listed the entire ruins as a forbidden area - because they found a corpse of a Titan in the ruins.
According to the dwarves, they evolved from Titans, which are their original ancestors, and the powerful power of Titans makes the dwarves kingdom very eager. If they can regain the power of Titans, the dwarves will become the most powerful race in the world, at least on the same level as the elves and human races.
True stood there, looking forward to the beautiful and glorious future of the dwarf in her mind. As for Danica, she was full of question marks. Titan? Heart? What is Titan? There is almost no Titan ruins that can be preserved in the present, and there is very little related information. Danica cannot be said to be a knowledgeable person. She has never heard of "Titans".
Danica tried hard to feel it, but she didn't know what material the ordinary transparent cover was made of, or was it the so-called "heart" itself was very restrained. Anyway, she didn't feel any special atmosphere, it was a black stone.
Danica couldn't figure out what she should be doing now, so she was stunned. As a result, True thought she was greatly shocked. The dwarf prince also comforted and said: "Although this is a matter of great significance, there is still a long way to go before the final success. The road ahead is long, and I don't know how many difficulties will be." Now we can only say that the excavation of the Titan ruins has achieved some results, but how to use the excavated things, True has no idea at all. The dwarfs have only taken the first step in pursuing the power of Titans.
Danica also recovered at this time. She said in admiration: "This is already very powerful." After pausing, she said again: "It's beyond everyone's imagination."
This is another ambiguous sentence. At least Dulu understood that Pasival did not expect that the dwarves' excavation of the remains had progressed.
True smiled and said, "Relying on the power of the dwarves alone, the progress of research will be very slow." In fact, there is no way to start research, but it is too embarrassing to say this. He used a tactful wording, "If you can get help from the Magic Academy, the research will undoubtedly be much smoother." True continued.
Danica took her eyes off the stone and said proudly: "Of course." The Magic Academy was directly inherited from the Alchemy Laboratory and the Potion Laboratory of the Magic Empire. During the Magic Empire period, these two laboratories were responsible for the main research and development work, and had a lot of technical accumulation in the research of various mysterious forces. There are only two forces in this world that can help dwarves study this Titan heart. One is the elves that have been fully inherited from the wilderness period, and the other is the Magic Academy with strong research capabilities. The elves dwarves cannot be invited, and the other is the elves dwarves cannot be invited. Compared with the three major magic academies, it is easier to talk to.
Seeing that Danica did not express his hesitation or objection, Trulu continued: "The power of Titan is an ancient and powerful force. I believe that the Magic Academy can also gain a lot through research on this power."
Danica looked at Dulu without saying anything, with a faint smile on her face: Dulu is thinking pretty well, just by saying this, she wants to make a fortune and let the Magic Academy work for no reason?
Duru felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at Danica with a sarcastic look. He added: "Of course, the Magic Academy can lend a helping hand at critical moments, so it is the Dwarfs' friends. We dwarves are very generous to our friends. Although the northwest mountains are high and steep, there are still many productions here."
Do you exchange materials for exchange? The main production of the Northwest Mountains is various ores. This is a mining area, iron ore, copper ore, and magic crystal ore can be regarded as being everywhere. They are all large ore veins with good quality and easy to mine. In comparison, although the geographical location of the three major magic academies is good, and they are mainly plains, they do not produce much. There seems to be only one good iron ore vein in the whole area, and the rest are small ore veins with poor quality and low yield, which are not worth mining at all.
The exchange conditions of Trulu cannot be said to be bad, but they cannot be said to be very good. Ores such as money can be bought back are not as precious as imagined. Just relying on the ability of the three major magic academies to make money, if they give less, they don’t take it seriously at all, just get some gold coins to buy. If they give more, the dwarves will suffer a little. It is difficult to satisfy the appetite of the three major magic academies.
Danica thought for a while and said, "This is also a way of cooperation, but the specific negotiation needs to be decided by Dean Brian." Danica packaged herself as a pioneer who came to test. She had no right to agree to any conditions. At most, she could only understand the other party's attitude and sincerity in cooperation.
"Okay, I understand." True took a deep breath. Although he had not received any substantive intention to cooperate, he had no choice. Such a large-scale cooperation that was important could not be decided in a short time. It would take several years for him to negotiate specific details.
After a moment of silence, True asked, "How is Miss Fengyu's body recovering?"
Danica looked up at him and said, "The recovery is almost done, and the rest is to slowly recuperate."
True tried to make his face more friendly and said, "Miss Fengyu is still responsible for delivering letters to Dean Brian, so I dare not force myself to stay and be a guest."
This guy's face became quite fast. He said he would not let himself go when he didn't get a definite answer. Once he felt that the cooperation agreement with the Magic Academy could be reached, he immediately started to rush himself! Danica contempt for Truru in her heart. It was not that he despised how fast his face became, but that his attitude change was too stiff!
As a warrior, he probably made his brain into muscles. Danica whispered, but said seriously on her face: "Your Highness the Prince is right, let's do it. I'll pack up my things after I go back and set off tomorrow."
Duru thought for a while and said, "Okay, you come to my place as a guest and you should see off your goodbye before leaving, but you have a task and probably don't like these red tape. I have a little thing here, just treat it as a gift for you." As he said that, he took out a long, narrow wooden box and handed it to him.
Well, I have already prepared all the farewell gifts, so I don’t want to keep staying here at all. Danica muttered in her heart, but after opening the wooden box, I looked at it. The wooden box was filled with four "daggers", which were very special, about ten centimeters long and two centimeters wide, with special curves, thicker in the middle, thin on both sides, and sharpened on both sides, which was more similar to a small sword. The most special thing is that these four daggers have no hilts, and they are all steel sheets, and they are all cut, and there is no place to grab them.
Danica looked at these four strange "daggers" and looked at Truru in confusion.
"This is a relatively rare weapon, and I think it's a good fit for you," Trudeau explained.
Why don’t I feel that? Danica carefully took out a lancet with two fingers and looked carefully. It can be seen that the workmanship of this weapon is extremely fine, and the entire blade looks smooth and smooth. Although there are no magic runes engraved, the patterns naturally generated during creation are also very special. The dwarves have the top level of forging in the entire continent. The things given by the prince of the Dwarves Kingdom are definitely top-quality weapons, but... how do you use this thing?
Danica tried to wave it, and it was difficult to use this knife, so she almost cut her fingers.
Dulu didn't deliberately make things difficult for Danica. No matter what, Danica represents Dean Pasival Brian. In addition, the two sides have important cooperation in the future, Dulu thought of giving Danica a gift when he left to bring her closer together. Since he came to the dwarf kingdom known as the "Forging Kingdom", of course he would give weapons and armor. Dulu has several very good pairs of armor, but Danica is a magician, and she can't wear those thick steel armor. Even leather magicians rarely wear them. Then give weapons. Dulu searched in his private arsenal for most of the day. The whole room of swords, guns, swords and halberds seemed not suitable for a girl like Danica. Dulu's favorite giant axe was probably not even able to take it. In the end, Dulu found this pair of Lancets among a large number of weapons.
The main feature of the Lancet is that it has good concealment and good lethality. Generally, it is used by assassins and others, but this kind of weapon is difficult to use skillfully, especially when practicing at the beginning, it is very dangerous, and you will cut yourself if you accidentally. However, True believes that Danica can master this weapon as long as she spends a little time.
Trulu watched Danica try to wield the Lancet, and became more and more skilled, with a pride on his face. He felt that his vision was good. This set of Lancets was very suitable for Danica to use.
After trying for a while, the Lancet could already fly between Danica's fingers. Although it still looks unfamiliar, it is already very powerful to master this weapon like this in such a short time.
Dulu didn't expect Danica to be able to use it so flexibly just after getting it. He said in admiration: "Miss Fengyu is indeed an extraordinary understanding." This is not to be polite. The Lancet is one of the most difficult weapons.
Danica put away the blade and said, "Thank you for your gift from the prince. I like it very much." Of course, she is not a martial arts genius. In fact, her talent in fighting is really not very good, but Danica is a wind magician, and a classical wind magician. If you mobilize air to help you control it, it is not that difficult to use this special weapon. Moreover, for the sake of concealment, the Lancet has a thin blade and its weight is very small, which is also convenient for use of wind magic. Trulu has a good vision, and this weapon is very suitable for use by Danica.
"Just like it." Dulu said cheerfully, "By the way, there is another gadget for you." Perhaps because he found that his gift-giving level was very high, Dulu generously planned to give Danica another gift.
"Is that so? Thank you Your Highness, Prince." Danica was not polite. Since there was a gift to accept, why not? Anyway, this is a farewell gift, and there is no need to return the gift.
Dulu took out a small square wooden box and said, "This is not something useful, it's just a strange thing. You can transform it and decorate it into a necklace or earring." At the end, Dulu felt a little guilty. This is indeed not a suitable gift. Why did he give it out on impulse?
Danica took the box, opened it and looked at it. It was a white scale the size of a fingertip.
Danica tried hard to suppress her inner surprise and asked, "Why did you think of giving me this? How did you get this scale?"
Danica didn't seem to like it very much. True was a little embarrassed and said, "I just got it. Not long ago, I conducted a ruins adventure and got this gadget in that ruins. I thought it was quite special at that time, so I took it back."
Danica asked again: "Why do you want to give it to me?"
Tru hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, I always feel a special feeling after getting this scale. It doesn't belong to me, but I think this scale is quite suitable for you."
