Chapter 560 Lost City

With these hard-working miners, it would be much easier for me to find the Undead Castle. I first followed the mine cart team and walked for a long time, about dozens of miles to a large smelting ground. The scene here was even more spectacular, with tall iron furnaces about four or five meters busy.

These blast furnaces are all very unique in shape, with an oval egg, with a mouth for feeding materials and steel output in the middle, and a square base built with special materials below. There are four outlets on the four sides of the base, and four fire-type skeleton mages are desperately using the dark fire they have worked hard to heat the blast furnace. There are still more than a dozen skeleton mages around them who are meditating, obviously restoring their magic power.

In addition to them, there was also a very short skeleton standing on the base of the iron furnace, closely watching the situation in the blast furnace. It seemed that he was a technician, and all the mages below were under his command. The reason for this conclusion was that at this time, I saw that the iron in a furnace was just about to burn to the fire, and the short skeleton in charge jumped off the base and began to command the skeleton mages to take out the iron.

He first asked the heated mage to stop and asked them to meditate. Then he directed other mages to float the stove up and overturn it, and pour the molten iron into a prepared mold from the outlet of the molten iron. The mold was made casually with sand and soil, which was too crude and generally had a long shape.

After the steel was poured out, the iron furnace was cleaned out some slag and then put it back. Then several cars filled with ore came over. The mage continued to use floating techniques to float the ore in the car and put it into the furnace. At this time, four other mages had already stood at the exit on the base. So the iron smelting work continued.

The whole process was very skillful and smooth, and it was completely completed in less than half an hour in total. Obviously, they had to cooperate for a long time before they could have such a tacit understanding. I roughly estimated that this furnace of molten iron was at least about a thousand pounds. There are about dozens of such blast furnaces here. They are highly efficient, large in quantity, and they are constantly running day and night. From this we can see that their output must be quite amazing.

The one who surprised me the most were the skeleton mages. They could actually practice a furnace of iron before resting. Is this still a skeleton mage? You know, they have always been known for their weak magic power. Many mages even said that they had defiled the reputation of the mage. If they hadn't fired two underworld bombs, no one would have taken them as a remedy.

Legend has it that among these guys, the level of magic is just a magic apprentice. It is rare for those who are more intelligent to reach the level of a junior mage. And what level of magic is the level of a junior mage? If you can just hold on to death, you can just throw a dark fireball the size of a head.

If you want to practice a furnace of steel, my most conservative estimate is that you also need magic power above the level of a high-level mage, or even a magician. If you can reach this level, you can't find one of the 10,000 skeleton mages. But there are dozens of blast furnaces here, and there are thousands of skeleton mages around. In other words, there can be thousands of such high-level mages in this place alone! Oh my God, what is this concept?

Besides, there will be no such subway for refining a few thousand miles in a radius, right? If all of them are included, how many such mages will be? Anyway, at least tens of thousands of times will be recorded. Where did they all come from? I was so angry that I could see these mages. How terrible would it be if these mages gathered together? So I heard that I have increased my interest in the landlords here again. I can't wait to see this guy. He is so talented.

This is the place where crude iron embryos are produced. After the iron embryos cool down, skeletons naturally come to collect them and transport them to other places. So I followed the transportation vehicle and followed them again. This time the road was long, and it took me hundreds of miles before I arrived at their next processing location.

On the road, mine trucks from other directions are joined from time to time, and the trucks are covered with thick iron embryos. This proves my guess. There are similar iron smelting places in other places. Moreover, based on the number of mine trucks added, it seems that there are really many such mines.

Just looking at what I saw along the way, I really admire the people who invented the skeleton mining method. The cost of these skeletons is too cheap and cost-effective. If you rely on people to transport such heavy things, you not only need to match animals, but also need to take care of food, accommodation and salary. And the efficiency is also low. Humans on this 100-mile road have to travel for several days and have to rest and sleep at night.

But skeletons are different. Under the cover of the sky of death, their energy can be quickly replenished. So they don’t know how tired they work, and they don’t have to be given animals. They can get a few more skeletons. Anyway, they have a large number. They don’t have to pay wages and take care of food and accommodation. They can arrive in more than a hundred miles in a day and a half, because they don’t have to waste any rest time. Therefore, they can be called the best labor force in the world.

While sighing at the super cost-effectiveness of skeletons, I began to look at the newly emerging workshop in front of me. The area here is very large, covering a radius of dozens of miles. There are busy skeletons everywhere, so they start working in the wild and never repair houses, as if they are not worried about it raining at all.

The outer periphery here is still an iron furnace, but this time it is a refining furnace, with the shape similar to what I saw at the beginning, which is the four fire-burning mages, which are obviously one level higher. They still burn the iron in and refine them into the iron, and cast the iron into the iron of various shapes. There are armor, weapons, and other strange parts. In short, I don’t understand it very much.

What attracted my attention was that these weapons were very large, especially the armor was extremely thick. In my opinion, the person who used should be at least about four meters tall, and his strength was at least about ten thousand kilograms to easily wave such a large weapon. It is really unimaginable, where do you look for these giants? Even if it is a little occasionally, it is definitely limited. But according to the production method in front of you, hehe, the number of armor weapons is definitely tens of thousands.

After these things were cast, they were just hairbrushes, and they were then sent to the back for finishing. Seeing the large group of skeletons grinding, frustrating and other processing around the huge combat tools, I felt funny. With the power of skeletons, it was too difficult to process those huge hairbrushes by grinding and grinding. Even if they could keep working without eating or drinking, it would probably take several months to get one piece done.

A large part of the reason why this place occupies such a large area is that they work so slowly that there are skeletons grinding their combat equipment everywhere. The harsh sounds have been continuous and intertwined, and they can be heard far away. This is how I am. I heard the sound before I see it.

After a while of random visit here, I discovered something interesting. Here, the technicians in charge of command are also some very short skeletons. They never work, they are only responsible for command. Obviously, they are all people with high intelligence and autonomy. I once saw them stopping, as if they were communicating with their mental power.

I began to guess their identities based on this. Judging from their short figure, they were either dwarfs, goblins or sand people, etc., but among the short submen, those with high wisdom and good at casting were only goblins and dwarves. I carefully observed that their bones were very small and did not look powerful at all, so they were obviously not strong dwarves.

Thinking of this, I immediately concluded that these guys were definitely a group of goblins and undead. After judging that they were goblins, I suddenly remembered something. I remember that when I first met the fallen princess Funiya, I was on the periphery of the Elf Forest. They were looking for the lost city of Atlanta, and they were also the capital of the Goblin Kingdom.

During these years, I have seen many living goblins, but this is the first time that the undead goblins have discovered them. The goblin race gives people the impression that they only believe in machinery and not gods. Therefore, they rarely practice magic, so their mental power is generally very low, so their chances of becoming undeads are so low that they can be ignored.

Of course, if there is help from the necromancer, it will be different. They can also become skeleton soldiers. However, their short figure is really not suitable for doing strength work. Whether it is fighting or moving things, they basically belong to the useless clan, so almost no necromancer will foolishly call goblin skeletons, which is simply a waste of magic.

But here, a large number of goblin skeletons appeared strangely. It seemed that each preserved the memories of his life and was able to command it. It was obviously the upper class here. So I suddenly thought of the disappearing royal city of goblins. Could it be that everyone inside turned into undead, then dug out all the way and built the current undead castle?

I thought this possibility was quite high. I heard that there were several powerful humans buried together in addition to the goblins. There must be a mage among them. It is hard to guarantee that the mage inside urgently turned himself into a necromancer in a desperate crisis. As long as he is one, everything will be easy to talk about in the future. The soul in the closed space cannot get out, so why would he let him do it?
