Chapter 80 The Great Melting Pot

Chapter 80The Melting Pot

After laughing for a while, the three of Wayne headed to the melting pot led by Walker.While walking, Wayne asked, "Walker, how did you know Uncle Fandral?"

"Huh? Is there a problem?" Walker felt that Wayne's question was a little strange.

Wayne understood that his question was a bit abrupt, so he said to Walker: "Uncle Fandral is a senior officer, it seems..."

"Oh. You said this." Wayne didn't finish speaking, but Walker already understood what Wayne meant.So he smiled and replied: "Fandar and I belong to the same clan. He is very close to the clan's place, so he often goes back to visit. This way we get to know each other."

"So that's it." Wayne suddenly realized that Walker's answer contained a new question. He immediately turned around and asked, "Fandral and you are from the same clan?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Walker asked strangely.

"Your clan is the Stormpike clan?" Wayne looked at Walker and asked.

"Yes, didn't I tell you?" Walker said suspiciously.

"No, no. Before today, we never knew which clan you belonged to." Wayne shook his head and said.

"Really?" Walker turned his head and looked at Barka and Kaliya with some confusion. Balka and Kaliya saw Walker looking over, so they quickly shook their heads.Walker recalled it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He had never mentioned the suffix of his name to Wien or the others, nor had he told Wien or the others which clan he belonged to.

After thinking about it, Walker solemnly said: "Okay, what I want to tell you now is that I, Stormpike Walker, am a dwarf warrior from the Stormpike clan."

Seeing Walker's serious face, the three of Wayne were suddenly a little uncomfortable.But this is a lover's habit. When facing a friend you recognize, you must tell the other party which clan you are from.This is a very serious matter.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that Walker and Wayne were so used to fighting, he wouldn't even remember that he never told them about himself.Through this time, Walker officially recognized Wayne, Balka, and Kalia as his friends.

An hour later, through the convenient passage in the military area, Walker led Wayne and the others to the inner melting pot of Ironforge.The temperature here is even higher.Looking up, there was a skylight-like hole above their heads.The billowing smoke and all kinds of pungent smells in the big furnace will be released from the hole above the head.

Below the hole are many containers filled with molten iron, and these containers seem to have leaks, dripping down drops of molten iron.Under these containers, another extremely tall container was placed. Because the container was too tall, Wayne and the others didn't know what was inside.

"What's in it? Isn't it the dripping molten iron? Why do I hear the sound of popping?" When Wayne passed by these containers, he heard the sound of popping from above.So he pointed to the container next to him and asked Walker.

"It's filled with water." Walker looked at the container that Wayne pointed to and said, "The molten iron dripping from it will turn into a round bead in the air, and after entering the water to cool down, you can get a round projectile." .These pellets are musket bullets. Do you understand?"

"Oh~, once you say that, I understand." Wayne suddenly realized after listening.

"What, how is the projectile made?" Balka was surprised.

"What? What's the problem?" Hearing Balka's surprised voice, Walker turned to look at Balka.

"Shouldn't the bullets of the musket be smashed out by you dwarves with hammers?" Balka said in a daze.

"Which idiot told you that?" Walker stared at Balka with wide eyes and said, "How could it be possible to forge such a round projectile with a hammer. All projectiles are produced in this way."

"You are so stupid, Balka." Kalia whispered to Balka beside her.

"Hey, Kalia. I just didn't think of it." Balka said angrily at Kalia's evaluation.

"Well, you just didn't think about it." Kalia saw that Balka was already angry, and she didn't intend to really anger Balka, so she nodded.

They continued to move forward, and after a short distance, there was the sound of clanging.When I walked in, I saw that dwarves craftsmen were forging around the big furnace.They held the iron tongs in one hand to clamp the items they were forging, and in the other hand they kept beating with a hammer.

"Walker, why are the hammers in their hands different in size?" Balka asked curiously as he watched the hammers held by the dwarves who were forging in the distance.

"You can ask this kind of question, so you don't have any forging knowledge. But that's right, after all, you high elves are famous for arcane arts." Walker shook his head when he heard Balka's question and said, "Forging items must be based on The size of the item and the steps of forging choose the size of the hammer. The sledgehammer is generally used to forge the general shape, and the small hammer is used to correct the details of the item. Only by using various types of hammers flexibly can forging amazing satisfactory work."

After Walker finished thinking about it, he opened his mouth and explained to Balka: "Forging is not only a matter of the size of the hammer, but also cooling methods, cooling temperatures, forging techniques, frequency, etc., will affect the quality of a forged item. .So if you want to forge a perfect item, you need to understand and be proficient in many forging skills. And this is what we dwarves are good at."

"Oh~, I thought arcane art was enough trouble, but I didn't expect blacksmithing to be so troublesome." Balka scratched his head and said.

"Balka, if you want to be the best in everything, then there is no simple thing." Wenn heard Balka's words and turned to him.

"Really? But I don't think so. For example, fishing is very simple." Balka retorted immediately after hearing what Wenn said.

"Stupid Balka. Brother Vinn said that he wanted to do his best. Didn't you understand?" Kalia said to Balka immediately after hearing Balka's rebuttal to Venn.

"However, even if I want to do my best in fishing, I think it is very simple." Balka turned to Kalia and said.

"In fishing, if you want to be the best, you must first understand each fish, know the distribution area of ​​these fish, what environment they like to live in, what kind of food they like, when to lay eggs, and how many eggs to lay at a time Wait for a lot of knowledge about fish, if you don’t know, if you want to catch a certain kind of fish but don’t go to the place where this kind of fish lives, then you will never catch this kind of fish, right?” Wayne explained to Balka: "Also, if you want delicious food, you have to know how to cook it, so you must know how to process various foods, just like the fish soup we drink. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Balka thought carefully and said, "Okay, I admit, you are right. It seems that I really underestimated a lot of things."

They discussed this while visiting the central furnace of Ironforge...
