Chapter 824 Forging

After holding it in for half a year, Bell finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

Mainly, the research on mixing [En'zoth] materials to create magic alloy has finally yielded results.

Therefore, during the recent period, Bell tried his best to 'sleep' Hermione and make her agree to cover for him. For this reason, Bell has been feeling soreness in his waist these past few days, which is really difficult...

"Bell, is this really Mount Vesuvius?"

Looking at the white snow all around, Hermione suspected that Bell had deceived her again.

As far as she knows, Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy is only over 1,200 meters high, which is not very high. It is already April, and the average temperature in Italy is around 20 degrees Celsius. Logically speaking, even on the top of Mount Vesuvius, the temperature should not be so low.

"Of course it's Mount Vesuvius. When have I ever lied to you?"

Facing his girlfriend's distrust, Bell felt very hurt.

Obviously he has never told a lie. At most, his views on things may be slightly different from others. For example, this time, he ran out in the name of dating Hermione. There's no problem with that, he is indeed dating Hermione, it's just that the date he chose is a little less crowded.

Therefore, Bell can proudly say that his reputation as an "honest and reliable young man" is not in vain!

"snort!"

Hermione didn't bother to tell this outrageous guy from Bell.

"Then why is it so cold here?"

"You'll find out later."

Bell's routine didn't bother to explain. He put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and while admiring her cute eyes, he walked forward along the path under his feet.

Not long after, the two of them seemed to have passed through a layer of water, and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.

Hermione has had similar experiences many times. She knew that she had just passed through a layer of barrier, and what appeared in front of her now was the original appearance of this place.

A wave of heat came over her, and Hermione hurriedly took out her wand and lifted the warmth spell cast by Bell on her body.

"Bell, what is going on?"

Hermione looked at Bell and demanded an explanation.

"This is a weapon refining array, a simplified version of the array arranged in the weapon refining hall of Yandu Academy. The surrounding heat is concentrated into the furnace by the array, so the temperature is so low."

Bell pointed to the furnace suspended above the crater not far away and explained simply.

Don't ask him why there is a magic circle here. Just ask him that the broken secret passage at the base of the Whomping Willow is short and dirty. He vowed never to leave there again!

Looking in the direction of Bell's finger, Hermione noticed the furnace not far away. The furnace is spherical in shape, with complex patterns engraved on it. The air around the furnace is slightly distorted, and bursts of heat waves use it as a source, spreading outward, and then being blocked, absorbed, and re-injected into the furnace by the magic circle.

After taking Hermione in a simple circle within the circle, Bell used the transformation technique and quickly built a stone house at the edge of the circle. Then, he placed a defensive barrier on the wall of the stone house to isolate the heat from the outside, and a temporary foothold was completed.

"Hermione, I'm going to start refining the weapon soon. I can't say exactly how long it will take, but it should be completed before the end of the holiday without any accident. During this period, I need to stay focused. I may not be able to accompany you mentally. If you get tired of staying here, you can also go outside for a walk. I looked down from the top of the mountain before and saw several small towns around."

Before officially starting to refine the weapon, Bell warned Hermione.

"It's okay. I can review my lessons here without being disturbed. You can just go about your business in peace."

Hermione could still distinguish the seriousness of the matter. The reason why she insisted on following him was because she was worried about Bell's safety, not to cause trouble for Bell.

The lips parted as soon as they touched, and Bell left the stone house and came to the edge of the furnace.

Bell took out all kinds of precious magic materials and placed them at hand in categories to ensure that he could use them at any time. After checking for the last time to make sure there were no omissions, Bell took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Pulling out the Elder Wand, holding it upside down and inserting it into the ground, the magic power twisted into a line and spread rapidly against the ground, reaching right under the furnace.

After a brief pause to accumulate power, the magic power turned into a beam of light and rose into the sky, pouring into the furnace. The inscriptions on the surface of the furnace were activated one after another, and with a 'bang' sound, the furnace lid was pushed out.

Unlike ordinary furnaces, Bell's special furnace has a lid located directly underneath the furnace. When the furnace cover was opened, the raging flames accumulated inside the furnace immediately burst out and hit the center of the crater.

The thin earth and rocks broke apart immediately, and the hot lava surged out under the guidance of the flames.

As the most dangerous volcano in Europe, the lava inside Mount Vesuvius is very active. Even though what Bell arranged is just a simplified version of the weapon refining array, in a short period of time, the array can still provide no less than the original array. of heat.

The lava surged up, and under the control of Bell's magic, it wrapped around the outside of the furnace, causing the temperature inside and outside the furnace to rise sharply.

After waiting for a while, Bell finally thought that the temperature was enough. With a wave of his left hand, he threw several metal ingots placed around him into the furnace from below.

At temperatures as high as thousands of degrees, the metal ingot quickly melts into a liquid state. Bell held the Elder Wand tightly in his right hand and carefully controlled the melting of the metal solution in proportion, not daring to make any mistakes.

Not long after, the several metal ingots that Bell threw into the furnace were all fused together. He controlled the fused metal solution to fly out and poured it into the square mold beside him to cool and finalize. Whenever the temperature drops a little, he will also add some bone powder inside, including [N'Zoth's] bone powder.

After the metal solution returned to its solid state, Bell immersed it in plant extracts for quenching. Then it was heated again and quenched in another solution. After repeated several times, all the required magic substances were integrated into the alloy according to the formula.

‘Dang~! Dang~! ’

After the initial integration, the next thing that needs to be done is the most time-consuming and important beating. Bell needs to thoroughly integrate many elements through repeated hammering, and at the same time, he must remove the imperfect parts to ensure the overall quality of the alloy.

In addition, the most important thing is that during the beating process, Bell needs to evenly integrate his magic power into the metal. This step is the most critical step in spiritual refining. Bell must do it himself and cannot be done by others.
