Chapter 1147 Guarding the Treasure and Finding the Treasure

Sure enough.

The eyes of everyone present could not help but light up. This was something they would never dare to dream about.

After all, running a Colossus City has already made them exhausted and taken up all their energy.

Gavin was no longer satisfied with this and began to lay out and build a new one.

Restart and construction are two completely different concepts.

The latter is more than a thousand times more difficult than the former.

But achievements are also directly proportional.

The gray dwarf patriarch's expression was undoubtedly the smallest. His gray face was as if it were made of steel. He turned around and led the way: "Please follow me."

After all, they were born slaves. Although under Gavin's rule, they had many more rights and sufficient material protection, their actions were still restricted, and their dreams were naturally much smaller.

At least in his opinion, building a new city has little to do with them. The Dungeon of the Colossus is where they live, grow old, sick, and die.

From a distance, those magic steel-making furnaces are very astonishing. When you actually walk in front of them, you find that their size is even more terrifying. They are often five to sixty meters long, thick and tall.

But there is no high temperature as expected. On the contrary, when you touch it with your hands, you can even feel the coldness on it.

Filancini couldn't help but sigh: "The ancient dwarf rune masters were really smart. Not only could they absorb geothermal heat for their own use, but they could also reuse the heat. Most of the heat when the steel cooled was reabsorbed by them.

Otherwise, the temperature here would be much higher than that, and a person could be cooked in minutes. "

Hearing this, old Jihalin's face was full of shame: "It is because we, the descendants, are so incompetent that we have lost the knowledge of our ancestors in the long river of history, and have been reduced to the point where we cannot even defend our own homes."

It was obvious that he was in tune again and thought of the tragic experience of his own kingdom.

Gavin comforted him and said: "The patriarch should be proud rather than blaming himself, because your ancestors faced legendary races and they had inherent strength advantages.

Your ancestors not only won the war, but also allowed their blood to be preserved.

He even made his enemies crippled and turned from the rulers of this world to the marginalized.

It is your ancestors who have given other races in this world the opportunity to develop and rise. "

The legendary arcanist also said with emotion: "Losing the glorious past is not a patent for you dwarves. It is not the same for us humans. The magic technology of the Netheril Empire is not much better than this ancient dwarf technology. What is left behind How many more?”

Jihalin smiled bitterly and said: "If you tell me this, I don't even have the qualifications to be sad."

"We're here." The gray dwarf clan leader interrupted their sympathy with each other in a graceful manner, pointing to a small blast furnace next to the big blast furnace, "This is the air glass blast furnace.

During the steelmaking process, a large number of impurities and elements will be separated, some of which are useful and some of which are useless.

The useless part will be separated from the waste furnace to form iron slag liquid, which can be mixed with waste rock and used for underground reinforcement or backfilling.

Some of the useful ones will be separated here, and the result of smelting is air glass. "

The steel-making furnace in the Dungeon of the Colossus does not exist alone, but is a complete set of large and small furnaces.

The largest one is more appropriately called a melting furnace than a steel-making furnace. It is used to initially melt iron ore.

Then through separation pipes, different ingredients are introduced into different small blast furnaces for secondary, third or even fourth smelting.

Air glass is a product of four smelting processes.

The more times of smelting, the more complex the process, the more times of shunting, and the lower the output.

The air glass that has just come out of the smelting furnace is also in liquid, also dark red, but bright and clear. After being poured into a steel mold, it is pressed into the shape of pieces of glass.

Looking at the smelting process of air glass, Filancini was amazed. The distribution and application of elements in these smelting furnaces are clear and flawless, and there is no fault at all.

But seeing the application and shaping process of air glass, the veins on his snow-white and delicate face were pulsing, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a waste! What a waste! You have already refined such a top-notch magic composite material, why are you still using such a primitive one?" Production process?”

The fog around her body condensed again and turned into two foggy arms that were larger than a person. They directly received a ball of air glass solution from the mouth of the air glass smelting furnace.

Two foggy hands were suspended in front of the legendary arcanist, like kneading plasticine, constantly rubbing the air glass solution to change it into what he wanted.

Soon magic runes were integrated into it.

With the integration of magic runes, this originally ordinary air glass solution began to bloom with magical aura, and it became more and more intense.

As the magical light blooms, the air glass solution ball is also constantly changing its form.

One moment it is spherical, another moment it is columnar, and now it becomes flat.

It wasn't until Filancini injected the last rune into it to form a complete set of magic formulas that the air glass solution was completely finalized.

It turned into a small round shield, transparent, and blooming with a rich magical aura.

The misty hand respectfully handed the air glass shield to Felanxini, then it disappeared and turned back into mist, harmlessly entwining around the legendary arcanist.

After Felanxini took the air glass shield, a ring of the same material popped out from it and fastened it to her left arm.

The legendary arcanist waved it casually for a few times, and it was obvious that she had been trained in this area and was very skilled in shield defense.

The air glass shield has three rings, two of which are fixed on the arm and one for the left hand to grasp.

The two rings on the arm can also be firmly fixed, which is equivalent to freeing the left hand and being able to perform many spellcasting actions.

Although it is also affected to a certain extent, it is far less than that of an ordinary shield.

The reason why many spellcasters do not wear shields is because the weight and holding of the shield will seriously hinder the casting action and easily lead to spellcasting failure.

This air glass shield has greatly weakened this point in terms of shape and weight.

This is not the end.

The air glass shield was gleaming with magical light, and the entire shield began to twist and deform, turning directly into a crystal clear wristband, wrapped around the legendary arcanist's left hand, protecting half of his forearm.

If someone didn't know, there was no way to associate this wristband with glass, but thought it was made of crystal.

The smile on the corner of Flanxini's mouth was like the tip of an AK gun, and she couldn't suppress it no matter how hard she tried. She smiled and said, "The magic compatibility of this new material is better than I thought. It can not only be used as the core material of magic aircraft, but also as the material for binding containers."

As she spoke, the air glass wristband had already fallen off her hand, turned into an air glass shield again, and threw it to Gavin casually.

After taking the air glass shield, Gavin could still clearly feel that there was still completely dissipated heat on it, and the first thing he did was to wave it a few times.

The first feeling was that it was light, beyond imagination, and the total weight would definitely not exceed one kilogram.

For a shield, this weight is almost nothing, and any dagger is more than this weight.

Gavin couldn't wait to observe its magical properties.

Lightness (special ability): The weight of this shield is greatly reduced.

Absolute defense (special ability): Damage reduction 10/∞.

Dual form (special ability): The shield can be switched between the wrist guard and the shield at will.

This shield is a simplified version of his Crown Shield. It is not much inferior in defense and is even lighter.

The key is that the Crown Shield cannot be copied.

This shield was made by the legendary arcanist. It is not at its peak state, but it is also possible to mass produce.

If everyone in his army has such a shield, the combat effectiveness will soar.

And its role is not limited to shields. What if it is applied to armor or weapons?

With this shield as a comparison, it is not difficult to understand why the legendary arcanist keeps complaining about their waste. They really have been using gold as scrap metal.

Gavin naturally couldn't keep this kind of spiritual shock to himself, so he threw the air glass shield to the others present for reading.

Everyone present had been stunned by the legendary arcane master's previous performance.

This ability to control magic power like an arm is definitely not something that ordinary mages can do, even legendary mages can't do.

In their impression, mages are a very powerful but rigid profession, and can only cast spells that have been prepared long ago.

With sufficient preparation, they are almost powerful against the sky.

If they are not prepared enough, they will become very fragile.

Flanxini's current situation is completely beyond their cognition.

After Shanoba took the air glass shield from Gavin's hand, she directly read out its properties in public.

Every time she read one, everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed.

They are not only excellent warriors, but also the ruling class. They also think of what Gavin just thought of.

"Ms. Felancini is right. We have been squandering natural resources before. We never thought that the products we thought were by-products are the most valuable commodities in our Colossus City." Sanoba said with emotion.

Jiharin couldn't help but say: "The same material has different values ​​in the hands of different people. It is Ms. Felancini's powerful spellcasting ability that gives it greater value."

"The patriarch's point of view is not entirely correct." Felancini retorted, "The reason why you feel that I cast a powerful magic is because of my impromptu performance.

If it is in a magic laboratory with sufficient tools, as long as the corresponding magic formula is mastered, even a low-level magic apprentice can make it, and the effect is even better, because the most critical attribute is given by the material itself.

If you give the patriarch a piece of inferior iron, can you forge a powerful magic sword?"

"I see, my cognition is biased." Jiharin readily admitted his mistake.

Gavin said, "From now on, air glass will be listed as a strategic material in the territory. The use of each piece must be subject to a special application and record. Do you have any objections to this policy?"

"No objection."

"It should be so."

Everyone expressed their opinions, but Shanoba hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, what should we do with the greenhouse in Colossus City? What we are building now is not even half of the initial plan."

"The construction of greenhouses should continue. After all, this is part of urban planning. It is a necessary expenditure. We only need to make corresponding records and protection to prevent theft." Gavin added with a smile, "There is no way, who will let us Is there such a condition?”

"Haha...well said, who allowed us to have this condition!"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed loudly, and even Filancini couldn't help but smile along with her.

The annual output of one thousand tons is not a small amount. Before the Arcane Academy was built to a certain scale, she alone could not squander even one-tenth of it even if she desperately squandered it.

"Deploy an armed cloud ray to transport one hundred tons by air to Misnoel and give it to Teacher Filancini as research materials." Gavin issued the second order.

"No problem." Shanobah patted her bulging chest and said, "Leave this task to me, and I will personally escort and supervise it."

Filancini has proven her ability with practical actions, so she naturally attaches greater importance to it.

"Very good." Gavin nodded with satisfaction, "I am planning to establish the Arcane Academy in Misnoel. I will definitely need the supply of various raw materials in the future. I will leave it to you Colossus City. When the time comes, You must support unconditionally.

Of course, if the Arcane Academy has new scientific research results, they will definitely be applied to you first. "

"Arcane Academy? Our own Academy of Magic?" Shanobah's eyes widened as she asked excitedly, "Can all residents of our territory participate in the study?"

"This..." Of course Gavin knew what he wanted to ask, and his eyes turned to Filancini involuntarily.

They discussed many issues and details along the way, but they did not discuss the race of the students.

He really couldn't figure out the background of legendary arcanists on this question. After all, arcanists are the most widely spread among humans. Occasionally, elves or half-elves become arcanists, but there are very few others.

A kobold arcanist like you've never seen before.

"I have an inclusive attitude towards the dissemination of knowledge and have no prejudice against any race. Anyone who can meet the admission requirements can enter my Arcane Academy to study." Filancini answered boldly, "Including kobolds."

Gavin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "It's easy to deal with the teacher's words, but please don't worry, teacher, I will control the proportions between the various races, and there will be no arcane magic." Half of the academy is made up of kobolds.”

He was really afraid that Filancini would be biased and only recruit human students, which would be really troublesome.

After all, his territory is very diverse and racially mixed, and he has been promoting multi-ethnic collaboration, peaceful coexistence, and common development. This is one of the reasons for the rapid development of his territory.

"Half are kobolds?" Filancini raised her eyebrows and said incredulously, "Isn't the intelligence of kobolds generally low? Those who can reach the level of ordinary humans are considered wise men, and the spellcasters among them mainly rely on... Charming? Isn’t it a bit confusing to go to the Arcane Academy?”

"The low intelligence of kobolds in the wilderness has a lot to do with the education they received, just like the intelligence of most savages is lower than that of humans who have received systematic education."

Gavin is now an out-and-out expert on kobolds, and his understanding of this race is far beyond that of ordinary people. “The plasticity of this race is far superior to that of other races, especially when it comes to things related to dragons.

The Lord of Sanoba has the ability of dragons and dogs to help each other. While using the power of kobolds, he can also greatly stimulate the potential in their bodies and purify their blood, thereby gaining more powerful power.

If there are enough bases, there will always be some outliers, including highly intelligent kobolds.

This is a kind of research. Kobolds have obvious advantages over humans in using magic application devices. This is related to the dragon blood in their bodies. "

"I see." Filancini nodded, "I underestimated them before, but I will pay more attention to them in the future."

Shanobah took the opportunity to speak: "Master, I really have a problem here that I need your help to solve."

"What problem?"

"Exclusive equipment! Exclusive equipment for the flying dragon!" Shanoba looked at Filancini eagerly and said, "Can the energy ejection device and skeleton cannon of the shadow aircraft be directly equipped in the form of armor? To the bipedal dragon? This will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness."

The emergence of the shadow aircraft made her feel tremendous pressure, and she tried every means to improve the combat effectiveness of her troops.

After the improvement of one's own abilities reaches a bottleneck, one can only make up for it through equipment.

While the shadow aircraft brought tremendous pressure, it also gave her inspiration.

If the most powerful part of it is transplanted into the flying dragon, the problem will be perfectly solved.

There are even advantages that the shadow aircraft does not have - the bipedal flying dragon can grow, while the shadow aircraft is a dead thing, and it is fixed the moment it is created.

But this problem was completely beyond her ability, until Filancini herself came to the door.

Gavin and Filancini looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that your brain would be enlightened this time, and you would actually think of this matter by yourself.

In fact, you don't need to mention it at all. We have already discussed the feasibility of this matter on the way here.

There are two difficulties in this matter.

The first is the material problem. This material needs to be strong enough, have strong magic compatibility, and be light enough.

If a bunch of steel armor is installed on the wyvern, it will not only not increase their speed, but will hinder their flight.

Now the air glass has perfectly solved this problem.

The second problem is the energy problem. The shadow aircraft uses the power of death.

There is no way to apply it to living things. Forcibly using it will be a chronic suicide.

The teacher has already found a solution for this matter. The rest is to put it into practical research. Once there is a harvest, it will be applied to you as soon as possible. "(End of this chapter)
