Chapter 753: Divine Artifact: Heart of the Mountains

"If it is related to the number of lightning strikes, then the lightning-struck ironstone produced there will definitely not disappoint you."

Gavin couldn't help but recall the terrifying frequency of lightning strikes. "So, the Talos Temple was built there intentionally by someone in order to mass-produce lightning-struck ironstone. Lord Shanoba, when you try to mine there, you must make corresponding safety preparations to prevent the place from being owned."

"It is very likely that it was the work of the Supreme Shanatar. The Storm Giants have always been the royal family among the giants. They have extraordinary power to manipulate lightning. Anti-lightning equipment is very important to the Supreme Shanatar." Jihalin guessed.

"It's not impossible, but it's better to be careful. Even if it's an ownerless thing, as long as it's a treasure, someone will definitely want it." Gavin reminded him and asked, "Is there anything that needs extra attention during the mining process?"

"No, it can be treated as ordinary iron ore."

"Then I'll trouble you, the clan leader, to start the refining and forging."

"No problem."

Whether it's with the Iron Clan or the Gray Dwarves, Gavin only decided on the big framework, and more details were handed over to Shanoba, the executor, to coordinate and negotiate with them.

After all, this is a big thing involving the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, and there are a lot of fragmented details in it. He can't arrange it too carefully.

Even if it's a big framework, it only deals with some superficial problems. The deeper ones can only be discovered and dealt with during the execution process.

In general, everyone present was very satisfied because they all got what they needed most from this treasure.

"Lord, you can now reorganize and repair the Heart of the Mountains." Jihalin reminded beside him.

Although he had repeatedly blocked the restoration of the Heart of the Mountains, it was because of practical needs, not because he was not interested in this dwarven artifact.

"Well, it is indeed time to restore the glory of this dusty treasure." Gavin took out the two parts of the treasure at the same time.

The two parts once again emitted a yellowish-brown light, just like two magnets. The closer the two parts were, the stronger the suction between them became.

When the two parts were less than ten centimeters apart, a terrifying force came, and with a snap, the Heart of Regeneration was directly sucked onto the Dwarf Crown, fitting perfectly without a single gap. Not to mention falling off, it was impossible to buckle it again without a special method.

Because this is not just a combination on the physical level, but also on the level of rune magic.

Many dwarf runes are half on the Dwarf Crown, and half are engraved on the Heart of Regeneration.

When the two parts merged and restored to a whole, a huge but not dazzling yellowish-brown light bloomed from them.

First, sweep through the Colossus dungeon, and many places in the dungeon roared at the same time.

Sweeping through the mining area, the pressurized water gushing out of the fountain was three points higher than before, and all the stone spikes were a little excited and agitated, smashing the ore more vigorously.

Sweeping through the Colossus, some dusty and hidden doors opened with a bang.

This crown is closely related to the Colossus City. If you want to restart all its abilities, you must master this dwarf treasure.

Heart of the Mountains

This dwarf crown is made of the heart of iron ore in the Troll Mountains, representing the former glory of the Supreme Shanatar Kingdom.

Strength of the Earth (Special Ability)-As long as you step on the ground, your strength will gain 4 points of intrinsic bonus, and you have an absolute advantage in strength confrontation. Even if you face a creature larger than you, you will not be shaken. When you are in the mountains or underground, your strength will reach the extreme, gaining 6 points of intrinsic strength bonus.

Earth Body (Ex) - You will gain 4 points of intrinsic bonus to your constitution and 5 points of regeneration. When you are in the mountains or underground, your strength will reach its peak, gaining 6 points of intrinsic bonus to your constitution and 10 points of regeneration.

Earth Shelter (Ex) - When your health drops below zero, as long as you step on the ground, you will be swallowed by the ground and gain an additional 10 points of regeneration. Even if you are hit by the Disintegration spell and only a pile of powder is left, you can regenerate to be as good as before. This ability is passive and works once a day.

Soul Forging (Ex) - Through this spell, the consciousness of the soul that voluntarily receives the spell can be enhanced. The creature tempered by the Soul Forging spell is immune to all fear effects (including Dragon's Might) and does not need to be tested for morale. In addition, this creature cannot be charmed or occupied by other creatures, and has advantages when attacked by evil creatures.

This spell lasts for the total class level/day and can be used three times a day.

This spell has a 100% success rate when cast on a dwarf, but has a 25% chance of failure on other non-dwarven creatures.

Stonestorm (Ex) - When this spell is cast, the entire area is engulfed in a whirlpool of swirling, hammering rocks and stones. Creatures in the area take 2d8 points of damage plus one point of damage per level of their class.

This spell can be a circle with a radius of 18 meters, with a 3-meter radius eye in the center that is unaffected by the spell.

This spell can also be a cloud with a total size of less than 36 meters, such as 12 meters wide, 6 meters high, and 18 meters long.

The wearer can also reverse the spell and turn it into Stone Stillness, which can clear dust, dirt and other suspended particles in the two areas corresponding to the Stone Storm, such as a haze that blurs vision, caused by explosions or spells, will be cleared immediately.

Spell effects caused by sixth-level magic or lower, such as Dust Demon, Sand Wall, Sand Storm, etc., will be terminated immediately.

Creatures from the Earth Elemental Plane that are lower than Demigod will be sent back to the Earth Elemental Plane by this spell if they fail to resist the will.

This spell can be cast three times a day.

Prospecting (Ex) - You can deeply attune with the earth to detect whether there are veins in this area. You can roughly sense the direction of the veins and the quality and type of the main ore.

For every minute of attunement, the wearer's thoughts will spread ten meters (radius) in the earth. The maximum attunement time is eight hours, and it can be used once a day.

You can also choose to consume a Prospecting spell to permanently summon a Stone Spike.

This is not a minor artifact, but a serious artifact, a dwarven artifact.

The first two abilities have a strong familiar flavor. Aren't these the rewards for Carissa's extraordinary strength and physique after she opened the Son of the Earth template?

This special ability was actually obtained through a divine weapon.

The value is unquestionable. These are all real intrinsic attributes. The blessing and strengthening from the earth are a perfect match for Gavin's own incomparable personal attributes.

In addition to the life-saving skill Earth Shelter, Gavin's legendary physique reward option does not need to be entangled. It must be a permanent transformation.

I just don't know if this crown can be superimposed on Carissa's head? Or give birth to new changes?

This is worth trying when you have time.

The first three are mainly to strengthen oneself, and the last three abilities are obviously exclusive to the dwarves.

Soul Forging corresponds to Moradin's title of Soul Forger. According to legend, all dwarf souls were forged by this dwarf father on his soul iron felt with a soul hammer.

Although this spell cannot forge the soul like the Soul Forger, it can strengthen the soul to fight against fear and enchantment, and manipulate soul spells, which is very useful in high-end wars.

Let's not talk about other things for now, just talk about this dragon.

Adult dragons have three deadly weapons, one is the huge size, the second is the terrifying dragon breath, and the third is the supreme dragon power.

Many times, the huge body of an adult dragon flying low can make countless intelligent creatures.

In addition to their brutal reputation outside, it is mainly due to the dragon power, which will make those who see them tremble, fear, and fall into panic.

Facing a powerful enemy, once you fall into fear and panic, what awaits you is a one-sided massacre.

This ability is not unique to dragons. Those legendary and above terrifying monsters, incarnations of gods, ancient evil things, etc., all have similar abilities. This is the effect of the resonance and resonance of their own terrifying power and magic.

If you want to challenge them, you must first overcome this ability.

Not to mention the charm spells and mind control that are hard to defend against.

Especially for strategic creatures like cloud rays, this aspect needs to be strictly guarded.

If the strategic weapons armed to the teeth are controlled by powerful enemies with enchantment spells or mind spells, and the enemy turns around and throws bombs on the heads of their own troops, it would be a tragedy.

With this spell, there is no worry in this regard.

Stone Storm is a group attack spell with a spell level of seven to eight. It is not too powerful, but it has certain tactical uses, especially it can be turned into stone stilling spell, which has more options and can be regarded as a kind of ability supplement.

The most powerful one is prospecting spell. This spell has jumped out of the scope of spells. It is an absolute divine skill, a field that only gods can dabble in.

What is the most feared thing about building a new mine?

Pseudo-rich mine.

During various explorations and preliminary excavations, it was shown that this is a rich mine with unlimited potential.

As a result, when a large amount of manpower and material resources were invested and the actual excavation began, it was discovered that the rich ore was only on the surface, and the interior was poor ore or ordinary rock, so the previous investment was all wasted.

Even the dwarves were not 100% accurate in this regard, after all, it was buried deep underground and there were all kinds of situations.

But it would be different if this spell was used. The maximum radius was 6.4 kilometers, which was enough to survey a mountain clearly.

The most correct way to use prospecting is not to cast it when you see a mountain.

Instead, after discovering the traces of the ore veins and determining that there is a high probability of a mine here, repeatedly survey around it to determine how much to invest here in the future, the main investment direction, and reduce the possibility of errors.

Not to mention, when not in use, it can also be used to summon creatures to break hammer stone spikes and increase mining efficiency.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this artifact is not labeled as exclusive to dwarves, limiting some abilities that can only be used by dwarves. If that were the case, Gavin would cry.

What you see are just the surface attributes. If you really want to feel the uniqueness of this powerful equipment, you have to equip it, because there are some unique things that cannot be expressed in words. Some inconspicuous but extremely practical abilities require users to slowly explore.

Because he was a remodeler, the Heart of the Mountains automatically defaulted to being synchronized with Gavin, so he could just wear it.

When the crown was put on, its size began to adjust automatically, and it fit tightly on Gavin's forehead, which was both firmly fixed and not constrained.

A heavy force began to spread from his feet, instantly filling his body, and finally connected with the crown, giving Gavin the illusion that he had endless power.

This was an illusion caused by a surge in power in a short period of time.

Gavin seemed to be able to clearly feel the pulse of the earth, the close connection between the two, and his consciousness spread out along the earth.

With one thought, his consciousness had reached the head of the dwarf statue, looking down at the surrounding earth through his eyes.

With another thought, his consciousness drilled into the metallurgical forging furnace of the Colossus dungeon, intuitively feeling the terrifying temperature inside, as well as the mysterious dwarf runes on the huge furnace wall, and understood its heat-absorbing operation principle.

With another thought, he had established a spiritual connection with a super-large stone spike in the mining area, feeling its joy and happiness.

With another thought, he had sensed the overall outline of the entire Colossus City mine.

This is not prospecting, but a symbol of the high degree of synchronization between the Heart of the Mountains and the Colossus City. Its function is very similar to the Tower of Domination of Misnoel. This is the key to domination, and some unique functions must be opened with it.

The ability of the Colossus Dungeon opened by the gray dwarves is less than one-tenth of its peak period, such as the gathering and refining of pure water, the hero feast driven by the magic of the furnace, the condensation of fire element gems, etc.

After all the abilities are opened, the Colossus Dungeon does not need to replenish any water and food from the outside world. The high concentration of elemental magic inside it can meet all needs with spells. It is completely a world of its own.

The absolute control power is in the hands of the controller of the Heart of the Mountains, because he only needs one thought to shut down most of the devices.

"Spray... fountain... fountain... this steel fountain is not just for decoration, it actually sprays water!"

"Water! Such pure water! Where on earth does this water come from?"

"Rain! Durga's beard, it's raining in the dungeon!"

"Such a sumptuous meal, so much wine, where do they come from? Is it a gift from Durga?"

"It's the Hero's Banquet, that six-ring spell, specially prepared for heroes on expeditions or triumphant returns."

"It's not like we haven't had a Hero's Banquet before, it can only accommodate a dozen people at most. , look at the tables and chairs here, there is no end in sight, enough for hundreds of people to eat together, is this a hero banquet that humans can perform? This is the work of the gods! "

"What are you still standing there for? Enjoy it quickly! The hero banquet has a duration, if you are late, it will disappear. "

"Aren't you afraid that the food is poisonous? "

"This is a magical creation, it can't be poisonous, and it can make such a big noise. It's just a matter of raising your hand to kill us. Is it necessary to poison the food? "

"Incredible exclamations came from the gray dwarves in the Colossus dungeon.

The misty drizzle fell from the sky, although it was not heavy, but in a sultry dungeon, this scene was the most incredible.

What's even more incredible is that countless luxurious tables and chairs placed directly on the street appeared out of thin air, filled with various fruits, steaming meals and already poured wine, exuding tempting fragrance.

When one person couldn't help but pick up the food on the table and started to feast, others couldn't help but join in.

Gavin did not just observe through the Heart of the Mountains, but directly mobilized the large amount of magic power accumulated in the smelting and forging plant, turning it into a magical effect.

The gray dwarves did not know what was going on, but the gray dwarf chief Yuriu and others who had been watching beside Gavin knew the root cause and could not help but exclaimed that this dwarven artifact was more powerful than they expected.

Originally, I thought I could not help much in the restart of the Colossus City mining area, but I did not expect that the Heart of the Mountains had such a close relationship with the Colossus City. It stored the complete operating image of the Colossus City. Through its synchronization scan, it was easy to compare what went wrong and how to repair it. With this angry terrain, the restart work was much faster than expected.

In this way, the time he stayed in the Colossus City increased significantly, but he basically stayed here at night, and ran to the rocky land during the day to start the work of the conqueror army passing through this place.

After repeated analysis of the situation in the rocky land, Gavin and his team found that it was impossible to develop this place in a short period of time. The Conqueror Army was not as useful as they imagined.

If only 100,000 or 80,000 people were needed, the rocky land could be developed.

The Kingdom of Cormier did this hundreds of years ago, and would not have waited until now, let alone racking their brains to come up with any rocky barons. Now it is an unprecedented gambling mode.

When Gavin led the Conqueror Army into the rocky land, he felt this even more deeply.

The terrain here was full of hostility to them. They moved forward at a snail's pace every day. The fastest day was no more than 50 kilometers, and the rest were basically between 20 and 30 kilometers.

This does not refer to the straight-line distance, but the distance of travel along the high road.

This is not a plain. Gavin and his team drew a straight line in the wilderness, and they could build bridges when they met rivers, move trees when they met forests, and open up wasteland when they met wasteland, and they rolled over all the way.

Although they wanted to dig holes in the mountains and cut through the ridges, they did not have the ability to do so. They could only move forward along the high road. At best, they made repairs, widened narrow areas, reinforced dangerous areas, and leveled bumpy areas to accommodate building-type chariots.

The rocky land was only more than 200 kilometers wide from east to west, but the entire high road that passed through this place was nearly 380 kilometers long.

Even with the help of a large number of giant livestock and tree people, the conqueror army was exhausted from top to bottom just by marching every day, not to mention taking the initiative to attack in the wilderness where there was no road at all, looking for monster enemies who were hiding in unknown valleys or caves.
