Chapter 696 The Grace of the God of Forging

Soon two more dwarves rushed in, each holding a metal basin.

Jihalin first washed his hands with water, and then soaked his hands in holy oil that looked like motor oil. He solemnly prayed to Moradin, the god of the dwarf race, the leader of the dwarf gods, the father of the dwarves, and the soul forger. After a while, he walked up to Gavin again and solemnly took the war plunderer over.

After performing this sacred ceremony, Jihalin was obviously a little different. Gavin could clearly sense that there was a sacred will in his body.

The spirit descends.

Jihalin is asking Moradin to bring part of his soul to him.

This is not a possessed incarnation, far from that level. This is more similar to the original Zalanda, using himself as an anchor to let the will of the gods descend into the world in the form of tentacles of the soul, through him See what he sees, perceive what he perceives, and taste what he tastes. This is the ability that many powerful devout believers have. This is more advantageous for the gods of those races. The connection between them will exist even if they have no faith, and it is It cannot be cut off. Even if you use reincarnation to change your physical form, you are still essentially a dwarf.

Gavin pretended to be dumbfounded and pretended he didn't know. Gods are also very real existences. If he can bring value to him, he will naturally pay attention to him. Otherwise, no matter how pious your prayers are, they can attract him. The possibility of coming is also slim, unless forced by duty.

After Jihalin took the War Marauder, he first looked through it inside and out, and then carefully stroked it. When he stroked it, his eyes were closed and he had just been immersed in holy oil. His hands lit up with a metallic luster, and wherever he passed, the war plunderer involuntarily lit up with a magical luster.

At first, the War Reaver even made a trembling buzz, as if trying to escape from his hands. When the metallic luster lit up, it immediately became docile and made a rhythmic buzz, which made Gavin He couldn't help but think of the puppy and kitten whose chin he was stroking.

"It is forged with actual substances as materials, legendary stories as iron felt, and divine power as hammer. Sure enough, no high-level artifact has ever been forged with ordinary methods. It represents a kind of priesthood, plundering The priesthood, because both the materials and the process of casting it are a process of plundering. This weapon is still a semi-finished product. If you want to truly complete it, you must realize your long-cherished wish to cast it, so that it can become a truly high-level weapon. Artifact." Jihalin said to Gavin while caressing the War Reaver.

Semi-finished product? !

The War Reaver is already so powerful. Is it still not a true high-level artifact? Is there still greater potential that can be tapped?

This is great news!

Who thinks his own weapon is more powerful!

But what is the long-cherished wish for this hammer?

Gavin's first thought was to kill the undead goddess of vengeance Qiyalansari. After all, this hammer was originally called the Bitch Terminator, and now it is still clearly displayed as a special ability.

But when I think about it, it shouldn't be very accurate, because the bitch terminator is just its origin. It really entered the ranks of high-level artifacts after it was injected into the planning plundering priesthood and the immortal spark by the strategist lady. The reason why it was so smooth in the first place, Perhaps the hammer itself was obtained through plunder.

The conflict between Gavin and the immortal goddess of revenge Qiyalansari is actually a process of constantly robbing her of divinity, power, believers, etc.

Simply killing a demigod who has fallen into divine sleep is a long-cherished wish for a high-level artifact. It seems a bit too small. Both Jiharin now and Ms. Strategy have mentioned that high-level artifacts represent a An ultimate law, that is, a certain kind of priesthood.

It does not represent the Immortal Priesthood, but the Predatory Priesthood.

In fact, his current process of using the Immortal Priesthood is also a process of stealing and plundering.

The Predator Priesthood belongs to Garagos the Predator. Does this matter have to be his fault?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, just give it a try and you will find out. Anyway, the relationship between the two parties has already deteriorated, and they are both evil gods. There is no possibility of them becoming good. Even if they don't look for them, they will come to you on their own initiative.

"So that's it, that's it, that's it. This is the real secret of forging artifacts. No wonder no matter how hard I worked in the past, the magic equipment I forged, no matter how powerful it was, was just an ordinary mortal thing. It turns out that the root cause is here, and it's not a question of ability. , but if ordinary objects want to become artifacts, they must be in the user's body. Only by opening up their divinity through legendary experiences and gathering their own beliefs can it be possible."

In the end, Jihalin couldn't help laughing. At this time, the sacred feeling on his body had faded. He turned into the exiled dwarf king again. At the same time, he handed the war plunderer to Gavin and said, "Thank you, general. It was your weapon that made me figure out something that I have never been able to figure out."

"This is just a matter of effort." Gavin responded with a smile, "The patriarch just pointed out a new direction for me to transform it into a stronger one, the patriarch..."

Gavin tugged slightly, but the War Reaver couldn't get it back immediately. The wandering dwarf king's expression seemed a bit mysterious and gloomy.

At the moment when he returned the war plunderer, Jihalin suddenly thought of a question. If he mastered this high-level artifact, would there be hope for the restoration of their country, Tesyama? Although I didn't fully get a glimpse of its properties just now, I could clearly feel its power, as if there were no invincible enemies in this world.

With a solemn look on his face, Gavin said in a deep voice: "Master Patriarch, I know what you are thinking, but the restoration of the country cannot be solved only by relying on a high-level artifact. If it is so simple, this Things won’t be delayed until three centuries later. Believe me, the plan I brought can surpass ten high-level artifacts.”

I was careless this time and underestimated the allure of high-level artifacts. Even a legendary blacksmith could not resist it. I would not easily show it to others in the future, let alone give it to others to watch.

when!

A shadow of a hammer and iron felt appeared above Jihalin's head, making a crisp hammering sound, and Jihalin's eyes immediately returned to clarity.

"I'm sorry, I was greedy." Jihalin apologized and loosened his grip on the war plunderer. "When people are too obsessed with one thing, the devil becomes even more stubborn." It's easy to take advantage of it, but your weapon is too powerful, and most of the power used in it is full of negativity, which can easily further stimulate people's inner greed. It is best not to let others see this weapon easily in the future. "

Obviously, the greed that Jiharin just bred is not his own, but also has a certain magical effect. He himself has a certain ability to resist this aspect. Otherwise, there will inevitably be some trouble in the future. After all, he is now in someone else's house. On the territory, Gavin couldn't help but secretly screamed that he was lucky.

It also helped to identify a hidden ability. I didn't expect that this hammer has such a dark ability to confuse people. It's just that it was created by myself, so I didn't feel much about it. As a god, Ms. Strategy is naturally resistant. Jihalin is the only outsider who has handled this high-level artifact.

But if I reflect on myself, my desires in all aspects seem to have become heavier in recent times than before, but it's hard to say whether this kind of thing is caused by the temptation of war predators, or whether it is caused by my own strength becoming stronger. Yes, after all, I have never been the kind of saint who has no desires and desires from the beginning. I am just more restrained and self-disciplined in some things.

Huh!

As soon as the War Reaver was acquired again, Gavin immediately noticed that it was different. It seemed to be lighter and lighter.

Skull Crushing (Magical Characteristics) - This weapon hits an enemy. When a critical hit occurs, the enemy's head will be completely crushed into powder (if there is one). It is ineffective against non-vital creatures (earth-type creatures, golems) , animated plants, certain undead creatures).

Lightness (magic property) - This weapon is blessed by magic. In the hands of the user, it will be much lighter than its actual weight. Using a weapon with this magic property, you can swing it more powerfully and dexterously than usual. Weapons, just like the strength value is increased by two points compared with the normal state, can bring an extra +1 to both attack and damage. The user can wield a weapon one size larger than his own body category with one hand, and apply the corresponding weapon proficiency feat to above.

The touch of Moradin's soul on Jihalin was not in vain. It actually gave the War Reaver two magical properties. Although these magical properties are relatively common magical weapon properties, their practicality cannot be denied.

Normally, the value of the magical attribute of Skull Crusher is much higher than agility, but War Reaver has the special ability to change weight. With this agility, it is equivalent to an extra boost. Not only is it easier to swing, but under the same circumstances, using The weight is greater.

All in all, these two magical properties make the War Predator even more powerful, further increasing its evil nature.

Gavin hurriedly thanked me and said, "Thank you, patriarch, for your help, which makes my weapons more powerful."

"It's not me you should be grateful for, but Moradin. This is the grace from him." Jihalin responded with a smile.

"Thank you to the God of Forging for your grace." Gavin took the opportunity to respond, "If there are no other problems, I will start using Adamantine."

"let's start."

Adamantine!

Gavin focused his thoughts on the War Reaver, and a golden light spread from it, covering the set of adamantine alloy armor it was aiming at.

The adamantine alloy armor broke away from the hand of the dwarf holding it on the spot, floated into the air, began to melt and squirm, and was fine-tuned to a certain extent, but the range was not particularly large. It was completed quickly, and they waited until they re-set the frame. At that moment, their attributes appeared in Gavin's mind, just like equipment made to destroy evil.

Adamantine armor.

This is a +5 full-body armor forged by the legendary blacksmith Jihalin himself and formed using adamantine. Damage reduction: 25/+3. The weight is equivalent to ordinary full-body armor.

It doesn't have the ability to transform into a breastplate, nor is it shrouded in light that makes it impossible to look directly at it.

It only has a simple and powerful damage reduction ability, which is even more fierce than the original version of the battle armor. Without Gavin's successive upgrades of the battle armor, the initial damage reduction is only 25/+1, that is, a +1 magic weapon can To suppress this reduction ability, this one requires +3.

The other two pieces are exactly the same as this one, both in appearance and attributes.

Jihalin explained on the side: "I gave up the other complicated abilities of the battle armor you mentioned, and just borrowed the magical effect produced by its physical structure to maximize its damage reduction ability. In terms of convenience, Compared with battle armor, it is slightly inferior in practicality, especially when equipped in batches for the army, and its manufacturing price is relatively cheap. As long as you have a sufficient amount of fine gold, it can be mass-produced. "

"If it is used to equip the army, it is enough." Gavin nodded with satisfaction. He had not expected to 100% reproduce the battle armor. That kind of magic armor, you can tell at a glance that it is not a pure blacksmith's arm, but something similar to the blacksmith's arm. Created jointly by powerful mages who are proficient in making magic items.

The subsequent upgrades of his battle armor were all rare, including the infusion of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which could not be reproduced because its upgrades were incidental. The main reason for the problem was the special condition of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

If you use such adamantine armor to equip the middle and low-level commanders of your army, it will greatly improve their survivability on the battlefield, and they are the foundation of the tenacious vitality on the battlefield. As long as they are still on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers will They will not collapse easily, even if they are defeated, as long as they survive, they can reorganize quickly.

"I wonder how much the clan leader offered them? Can you sell them to me?" Gavin asked tentatively.

This kind of powerful armor is usually not for sale, especially the Iron Clan, which is responsible for the restoration of the country. They will definitely hoard this kind of powerful equipment to regain their homeland.

Although these three pieces of adamantine armor are all made according to human standards, all magic armors have the ability to adjust their body shape in a small range. Whether it is a dwarf or a human, an orc, as long as the synchronization is completed, when worn, Like tailor-made.

"This is not for sale." Jihalin showed a heartfelt smile and said, "This is originally a small gift prepared by our Iron Clan for the General. As long as we both cooperate, the quantity of this armor will continue to increase. "Less?"

As soon as the Adamantine Technique came out, it was still uncertain whether the opponent was Gavin the Conqueror, the supreme commander of the Conqueror's Army, but he was 100% sure that it was the person he had been communicating with.

As the top blacksmith in Faerûn, Jihalin is very aware of the value of this adamantine technique.

In this world, there are very few full-body armors made purely of adamantine. Even for chainmail, I have only seen mithril ones, never heard of adamantine ones. The adamantine armors and adamantine weapons on the market, Most are alloy.

Not only because the price of fine gold is astonishing and its output is rare, but also because the weight of this thing is also quite astonishing. If it is used to forge full-body armor, if the armor surface is too thin, it will not be as strong as a steel plate of several centimeters. If it is too thick, it will easily break. It weighs a hundred kilograms, and there is no way to move it if you put it on. There are also spells that can help reduce the weight, but they are relatively limited. They usually reduce it by half or a few fractions. Those that can make it as light as a feather are not ordinary magic. .

Adamantry is one of them. It not only makes the adamantine alloy show the characteristics of pure adamantine, but also keeps the weight at the level of adamantine alloy.

But this spell is not an ordinary spell, but the supreme spell of the elves. It is very expensive to cast and the elves will not use it easily.

This further demonstrates the value of Gavin's non-destructive performance. After the two parties cooperate, this alone can make both parties make a lot of money.

"Then you're welcome. These three barrels of ghost wine are a return gift." Gavin took out three large barrels of the specialties of Vizeme Manor from the portable dimensional cave.

In addition to stubbornness and forging, being good at drinking and drinking is their third racial label.

In human cities, there are two places where you are most likely to encounter dwarves, one is the blacksmith shop and the other is the tavern.

They are always accompanied by hearth and ground fires, and typically have strong internal fires. They are the most suitable people for the characteristics of ghost wine.

As expected, all the dwarves present seemed to be glowing when looking at the ghost wines. They wanted to open them with their eyes and pour two glasses into their stomachs.

"This is a good thing that even money can't buy. When the general held the ghost wine auction in the Land of Three Rivers, we got the news too late, and we only got ten bottles from those unscrupulous wine merchants at high prices.

I still can’t forget that taste, as if I tasted it yesterday. If possible, I hope we can establish a long-term supply relationship so that we have the right to purchase first. Jihalin said with a blushing face.

This is another proof of the opponent's identity. Basically, it is definitely Gavin the Conqueror.

"As long as the quantity is not too exaggerated, there should be no problem." As the resources in Gavin's hands increase, the value of ghost wine in Gavin's hands is no longer a simple commodity, but a unique tool used to establish diplomatic relations. Don't worry if you need it, just I'm afraid you don't need it,

"Okay, okay, okay." Jihalin quickly assured, "We are not planning to enter this line of trade, but this magic wine is very helpful in inspiring our forging inspiration. We are only using it for our own use."

It's not that Jiharin is naive and doesn't even know the most basic business principles, but he knows that with the other party's current worth, there is no need to cheat them in this aspect, and he will definitely give them the lowest wholesale price, just like them It is impossible to make as much money as him on adamantine equipment. This is just a subsidiary of their deeper cooperation.
