Chapter 29 Rune Factory
Time passed by raising glasses, and soon the banquet ended.
After greeting Moria and Joshua, most of the dwarves stroked their beards and said goodbye to each other with satisfaction. After all, in this world, the most important thing between people is relationships, even dwarves are the same. Through this banquet, they got to know Joshua, the Lord of Moldavia, so even this trip is worth it.
Of course, many dwarves looked at the warriors with a hint of respect when they left, but the reason was simple - it was really rare to see such a huge number as humans.
All the guests dispersed, and Joshua, whose faces were slightly red, also stood up.
Even with his physical fitness and alcohol tolerance, he couldn't bear it after drinking so much dwarf spirit. Now, the warrior felt a little dizzy, so he immediately mobilized the fighting spirit in his body, and regretfully suppressed the side effects of alcohol.
Originally, Joshua drank to enjoy this rare and confused feeling, but it is not possible now. Now, it should be the time to deal with the important matters.
Turning around and looking 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 of Clayel and Moria had already disappeared. Although the atmosphere between the two was still very cold and stiff, it was much more relaxed than before.
"It seems that it will be effective to leave some space for them to talk."
He thought of this, and shook his head with some regret: "These two guys seemed to have known each other a long time ago? Clayel looked quite young, but he didn't expect that he was hundreds of years old. This is not good for elves. Although they are all beauties, their appearance and age..."
While thinking, the warrior walked towards Moria and the others.
"Joshya, the banquet was a bit rude. Because I met an old friend, I was too focused on reminiscing about the past..."
When he noticed the warrior approaching, the old dwarf stood up to greet him. He spoke very straightforwardly: "Your armor is almost cast, and you are here to complete the last step. If you don't mind, then you can follow me to the casting area and complete this last step."
"No problem, then leave now?"
Of course, Joshua would not refuse. Although his purpose was to identify the strange steel crystal, taking armor was also one of the targets. The warrior turned to his knights behind him and said, "Everyone, act freely, Rin, follow me."
"Yes!" "Yes, Master."
Generally speaking, the knights should follow Joshua all the way as guards, but if they really encounter something that the warriors can't deal with, the knights will definitely be helpless. Therefore, this time, Joshua brought these people over, except that he had no momentum without any people around him, but because he wanted to purchase a large amount of supplies from the dwarves, and the knights were human-shaped porters.
After everyone was ready, the old dwarf simply walked out of the city hall. Giothia and Rin followed him to the street, and Clayel followed silently behind the warrior.
Joshua didn't care about this little thing, so this strange four-person team passed 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 newly designed places. In other words, it is the R&D center and weapon test site, and automatically provides raw materials. It is the most important public place in every large dwarf gathering place, better than the brewery.
The core forging area is extremely huge. Its shape is like a huge all-metal trapezoidal pyramid. Joshua looked up and down from a close distance. He could see that the bottom of this huge steel creation was immersed in the depths of the ground, and even rooted in the magma pool to absorb the magic of fire elements. The top of it must have penetrated countless corridors on the way to release heat and breathe.
This kind of building is rare even on the surface. Only the sons of the dwarfs who can create such wonders underground.
As the current leader of the rune dwarf of the Northland, Moria is currently the highest-ranking caster, and has a very high prestige. Even with two humans and an elves, the guards patrolling around the core forging area did not stop them. They even raised their hands to pay tribute from afar, then went around one direction and patrolled other locations.
The entrance to the core forging area is a metal arch. Before entering, Joshua swept the stone tablet on one side from the corner of his eye, and a passage was written in common words.
[Black Steel Casting Furnace - Dangerous, if not needed, please do not get close to it!]
"It'll probably feel a little uncomfortable after entering."
The old dwarf's reminder was also issued at the same time. His expression didn't look like a joke: "We are different from other dwarfs' forging areas, and it's more dangerous."
Moria naturally would not tell lies. Just after the group entered the core forging area, a hot breath suddenly came to her face. The extreme high temperature brought by the dense fire elements would make the air dry and burn. If it were ordinary people, even breathing would be extremely difficult, and the trachea and lungs would be damaged. However, three of the four middle-aged people who came in at this time were golden strong men, and the other one was the human form of the divine machine. This dangerous environment seemed to have no effect on these extraordinary people.
Inside this core forging area, there is a bright magic light shining. As everyone continues to penetrate, you can see the walls inside it, various magic light mists flowing in the translucent crystal pipes. This huge rune machine is operating all the time, making deafening roars.
Joshua observed the surrounding equipment. The golden and red molten iron flowed smoothly in the translucent pipe beside him, and then flowed into various molds not far away. After the mold was filled, it would be sent to the distance with the automated tracks. He couldn't help but be surprised to see this familiar and unfamiliar scene.
"I didn't expect that the dwarves began to industrialize magic so early. I originally thought that this place was just a big blacksmith shop like other dwarves gathering places. I really didn't expect that the rune factory had already appeared in the Northland in 832."
Looking at the neatly arranged steelmaking furnaces and various rune equipment around, Joshua looked a little surprised. He knew that although these things looked simple, they were all prototypes of the huge machine factories in later generations. Looking at the initial model rune equipment that was rare in the future, the warrior couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The assembly line industrial production has taken shape. I don't know if the earliest model of magic casting furnace heart has been invented. I remember that it seems that it has happened recently, but unfortunately I don't remember it very clearly."
The technology on the Mycrov Continent - to be precise, the magic level is not bad. Now it is 832 years old. Not to mention the rune factory where the dwarfs have begun to take shape, there are also various magic machines in the Alliance of Human Kingdoms in the far south. The special large alchemy tools can automatically enchant all kinds of weapons and objects. Although they are the simplest enchanting magic, they are also epoch-making progress. In the holy mountains of the sea, there should be a super-large national magic weapon [Eternal Light] that can be built in seven years. This magic weapon is so powerful that even in the middle of the first abyss invasion battle in the future, it destroyed the three legions of the demons in one blow, which brought valuable counterattack time for other forces on the continent.
As the base camp of middle-aged mages in the Mycrov continent, their magic level is very high, and they can even build huge floating cities or even floating islands. Many extremely spiritual masters are no longer building the magic towers of the past, but are gritting their teeth to accumulate resources and planning to build their own floating fortresses. They have even begun to explore the astral world. The third edition of the big map [Extra-Star Void] was first discovered by a floating fortress of a certain master.
Moria saw 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, is my carefully designed new production method much faster than the previous ironwork? Of course, the armor I want to give you was made by me for you by hand. This kind of mold is produced quickly, but the quality is not very good, and it can only be used to make military-style weapons."
"It's very good, it can be said that it has created a new era. Master Moria, based on this alone, your name will inevitably be recorded in the history of the future."
It's not a flattery, Joshua is telling the truth, "However, I don't think you have fully realized the potential contained in this system. Rune Factory... It's not used to make irons or forge weapons."
When he said this, the soldiers couldn't help but think of the invincible Iron Legion in the coalition forces of the countries in the future.
"Don't build weapons?" The old dwarf looked a little confused. He frowned and said strangely: "What can you do?"
"Of course it's magic power..."
Just as the two were talking, the group had already arrived at a hall deepest in the core forging area.
