Lord of Arcane

Chapter 618 Detec Rune Friends and Foes Problem
Watching Broto hit the anvil with a magic hammer "jingling", Xia Duo felt for the first time that blacksmithing can also be full of beauty. It was not once or twice that Broto forged iron before, but never once was it like It shocked him so much today.

Perhaps this is the magic filter!
However, holding a magic hammer, Broto's forging technique is indeed different from the past, with some changes in the magic level, even Xia Duo can see a clue from it.

A large lump of iron was hammered into fine iron by Broto in a short while. Of course, it can be called "steel", but there is no special word for "steel" in Nether language. Generally, "fine iron" is enough Describe the quality.

Of course, fine iron can only be regarded as one of the raw materials of [Dragon Hunting Rune]. After that, Broto divided the refined iron into small pieces and processed them again, and this was the official manufacture of [Dragon Hunting Rune].

If Xia Duo could barely understand the previous technique, but from now on, Broto's technique is beyond his comprehension.

With a "snap", a valuable sapphire was smashed on the anvil by Broto, and then the magic hammer, wrapped in gem powder, struck the refined iron embryo again and again.

Gems one after another were integrated into the refined iron embryo in this way, and Mithril was followed in the same way, but before Xia Duolai, the Mithril blocks he provided had already been processed into Mithril threads.

This caused Xia Duo to miss part of Broto's skill demonstration, but the mithril thread was integrated into the refined iron billet while maintaining a relatively independent state, which was obviously more worth watching than processing the mithril thread.

This kind of skill almost surpassed Xia Duo's imagination. In his perception, once Mithril is compatible with other metals, it will easily affect its purity, especially in the case of repeated beating.

With his method, he may be able to process the mithril components first, and then package them through metal, but this method of directly integrating mithril wire into the metal is still a bit too exaggerated.

Perhaps this is the skill of the dwarves!

……

Forging [Dragon Hunting Rune] is obviously not an easy job. For several hours in a row, Xia Duo just watched on the sidelines, but Broto remained focused, hammering on the fine iron embryo.

Sweat kept falling from Broto's arms and beard, but before it touched the anvil or the magic hammer, it immediately turned into a wisp of steam, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol, and spread out.

That is to say, in such a process, the refined iron embryo gradually becomes regular, like a piece of iron the size of a palm. Although the surface is red and hot, whether it is a relatively independent mithril thread or a magic string that has begun to gradually link , all implying its appearance that will be officially presented.

"Boom-"

The last dull knock instantly dissipated the red heat on the surface of the iron sheet. Broto directly reached out to pick up the final product on the anvil, inspected it a little, and then threw it to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo took the iron piece, and it was a little cold, but the densely linked magic strings on it could not be faked. This should be what Broto called [Dragon Hunting Rune].

After playing with it a few times, Xia Duo found that the front and back of this [Dragon Hunting Rune] are almost identical, except for the cuneiform script that can clearly be seen to be the true color of mithril, there is no other decoration.

These cuneiform characters should be dwarf characters, but Xia Duo didn't have any research on dwarf characters, only knew that they were dwarf characters.

Broto integrated the mithril wire into this piece of iron, penetrating the inside and outside to form these characters. For the time being, Xia Duo didn't know much about dwarves' forging techniques, so he wasn't sure if this was the most reasonable approach. .

However, if you follow the practice of Nether Mage, it can be simplified. As long as you know the specific spell contained in this [Dragon Hunting Rune], you can directly use Mithril to construct the most simplified energy pathway, similar to the practice of ordinary magic items.

There is no need to hammer and hammer for hours like Broto.

Of course, this approach is based on Netheril's arcane magic system. Xia Duo still has no way of knowing what the dwarves' magic system is, but through observing Broto's forging this time, he guessed The system may be very closely related to forging.

While the essence of the magic is the same, the manifestations are different.

Leaving aside whether Broto is willing to reveal the secret of [Dragon Hunting Rune], it is not easy to switch between different magic systems.

The magic of the dwarves was too unfamiliar to Xia Duo. Even before today, he only knew that the dwarves did have magic, but he had never seen any instance.

Unlike elf magic, human beings first took the route of elf magic. Basically, every mage tower has information about elf magic. If you really want to study it, it is not difficult.

Judging from the fact that the elf language is almost standard for all mages, and Xia Duo still doesn't know a few words in the dwarf language, the potential influence of the dwarf, or the development potential, is far inferior to that of the elf!

Xia Duo even guessed that perhaps it was because of the coercion of the elves that the dwarves and the elves came up with a mithril rationing system. In fact, it didn't do much good for the dwarves. If the mithril rationing system had no influence from the elves, Xia Duo wouldn't believe it.

On the other hand, there is not much conflict between humans and dwarves in the choice of living places. Dwarves prefer to stay in the mountains, underground, and in rocks.

And these are not what humans like.

Humans and elves are the real conflict. Both are ground creatures, and both need to occupy the land. On the one hand, they must maintain the forest, and on the other hand, they must open up farmland.

Who is a friend and who is an enemy; who can be a friend and who can be an enemy is a very important question.

Staring at the [Dragon Hunting Rune] in his hand, Xia Duo fell into deep thought for a long time.

……

"That's our dwarven Detek script, you Nether mages like to call them 'Detek runes,' which means 'hunt dragons.'"

Broto's words interrupted Xia Duo's thinking. He raised his head and saw that Broto had rested and was about to continue forging. It would take at least a few hours to create a [Dragon Hunting Rune], and Xia Duo had already read it. Once again, he didn't plan to read any more, because he couldn't understand it anyway.

So he said: "Uncle Broto, you have worked so hard to continue to build, and I will prepare some spirits for you."

When Broto, who was about to swing the hammer, heard Xia Duo's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said quickly: "Go, go, don't only have one bottle anymore!"

"Don't worry, there's enough for you to drink!"

……

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xia Duo bought a few barrels of so-called "spirits" in the town, and then returned to the Tower of Time. Before that, the raw material for his distillation of spirits was just some light ale.

It took two full barrels to distill less than one bottle. Now that I have changed to a good wine, I should be able to distill more spirits.

However, Xia Duo didn't need to do this kind of repetitive work himself. He casually released a private task through Ta Ling that only apprentices above level 3 could accept, and then came to the previous workshop.

Before waiting for the arrival of the person who received the task, Xia Duo started to make a larger distillation device. In fact, if it is not in a hurry, it is the most cost-effective to make a thermometer first and let ordinary people take care of it.

Like now, although it is very convenient to control the temperature through the alchemy circle, it is also very expensive, and the added value of drinks is far less than that of magic items.

Producing spirits in this way should only happen once!
