Chapter 517: Black Furnace Castle
As the capital of the Principality of the Red Dragon, the Red Dragon City sits in the center of the territory of the entire Principality of the Red Dragon, and the towering city walls protect the pearl of the Principality.
In the early morning, there was still a trace of coolness in the air, and the nascent sun on the horizon was already red, shining on the earth, and the entire Red Dragon City was shrouded in sunlight.
Of course, with the Red Dragon City, there is also a black castle a few hundred meters to the east, the black castle is very conspicuous, in addition to the dark appearance, there is also a chimney pillar-like building standing tall, like a giant pillar piercing the sky.
Judging from the state of the Black Castle at this time, it is not yet finished, and it should only be half built.
At this time, a team of workers were laying bricks and lifting wood on the castle, and they were busy all the time.
Not far from the black castle, some people were standing, the leader was none other than Allen, and beside him stood a particularly strong figure, it was the dwarf king Kenstan!
Kenstein was not wearing his conspicuous golden armor now, but instead wearing a robe, his strong body propping up the robe, and the hammer that never left his hand was also hung around his waist.
"According to your request, the Duke has organized thousands of men to build this castle at once, and now that the project is more than halfway through, I specially invite you to come and have a look, I wonder if you are satisfied. Alan turned around and said with a smile to Kenstein beside him.
"Since you are the Duke of Red Dragon, you will personally supervise it, and there will be no problems in the future!"
Kenstein looked at the black castle in front of him, his face was slightly complicated, and he bowed and said.
"Well, since Mr. Kenstein is satisfied, let's ask Mr. Kenstein to give this castle a name!" said Allen with a smile.
"Since it's specifically for forging...... Let's call it the Black Furnace!" Kenstein paused for a moment and exclaimed.
The Black Furnace Fort, the fortress in front of him, was made by Allen himself.
After all, the Black Furnace Fort is so close to the capital Red Dragon City, without Allen's unity, and that bold nobleman dares to build such a castle here, unless it is a neck and wants to die!
The reason why Eren killed Dibiat, but did not kill Kenstan, was because he valued his superb forging skills, and after Kendan surrendered to the Duchy of Red Dragon City, Alan naturally couldn't wait for Kenstan to forge extraordinary equipment for the Duchy.
At this time, the Red Dragon Principality, I have to say that there is still a big gap in extraordinary equipment, not counting Kenstein, now the Red Dragon Principality only has three extraordinary equipment, Allen's Red Dragon Lance, Dibiat's Flame Scepter, and Bud's Ice Scepter.
Among the six transcendents of the principality, there are four who can use transcendent equipment, Allen, Bard, Barton, and Hastytina, and the Red Dragon Spear and the Flame Scepter are all fire-attribute transcendent equipment, and among the four, Alan can use it, and the Ice Scepter originally belonged to Hastytina, and now it is temporarily lent to Bard by Allen.
In other words, Barton and Hastytina lack transcendent weapons now, and this is only a weapon, and if you add transcendent armor, the gap will be even greater.
For example, the golden armor on Kenstein's body belongs to a transcendent armor, which makes Allen's eyes hot for a while, and with this armor, even Allen's envoy Red Dragon Spear may not be able to penetrate Kenstan's body.
In the future, if the principality is extraordinary, each person is equipped with a battle armor, then the defense will be greatly increased, and the overall strength will be greatly increased.
After hearing Kenstein's description, Alan knew that forging transcendent weapons was not so simple, not only requiring a large number of transcendent materials, but also a special forging site, and this Black Fort was just that.
A few days later, with Kenstein bringing a few dwarven blacksmiths recruited from the Qingzhu Mountain Clan, he lived in the Black Furnace Castle, which also marked that Eren had finally completely solved the alien threat.
In order to completely solve the alien threat, Alan also spent a lot of effort, first killing Dibinat, and then the dwarven clansmen to threaten Kenstan to submit, and then let him leave the clan land and live in the Black Furnace Castle.
Kill the entire kobold hierarchy at the same time, take the entire kobold clan under control, and then disperse them to various mines.
For the dwarf race, in order not to make it too numerous and threatened, Alan cut it in half, and sent half to Helan Island to refine ore, forge metal, and greatly increase the number of ballistae in the Heilan Island Navy, and the more than 10,000 dwarves in the Qingzhushan clan are also used to forge special metals.
It's just that the special metal they forged will be used in the construction of army ballistas in the mainland territory of the principality in the future, and the two sides will not interfere with each other from now on, do not manage each other, and are independent.
At the same time, in order to fulfill his previous promise to Khenstan, Alan did not treat the dwarves badly, the Red Dragon Principality was responsible for transporting ores from now on, and the Dwarves were full-time forging, and all the forged special metals would be handed over to the Red Dragon Principality.
However, every dwarf who forges a special metal ingot will receive a small share of the overall value of the metal ingot he forges, and in general, he does more and earns more.
These dividends will be automatically converted into the coins of the mainland people, and then distributed to the dwarves, the dwarves of the dwarves can exchange for materials through the specially built trade market near Qingzhu Mountain, for example, the dwarves love to drink, and there are a large number of drinks circulating in the market, several of which are quite popular with the dwarves.
In the Red Dragon Palace, on the large hall, Alan was concentrating on all kinds of affairs and documents, and Battenbad was standing on both sides.
Once the alien issue was resolved, Bard returned to Alan, leaving only Bahamut to guard the teleportation platform.
In fact, at this time, Bartenbad has become a court worship, and there is no need to serve Allen, they are not forced by Allen, but voluntarily, it seems that they are used to it before, and the two of them will generally follow Allen's side in addition to the cultivation time.
"Andy is here, Bud, go and bring Andy in!" Alan suddenly stopped the snow-white quill in his hand and turned his head to Bud on the side.
"Yes!" Bard bowed slightly, and stepped out of the Red Dragon Hall very quickly.
As an extraordinary powerhouse, Alan has become more and more sensitive to the voice, and the speech of Andy and the guards outside the hall just now, wanting him to make a report, has all entered Allen's ears.
"Duke, something big is happening!" Andy said with a serious face as he walked into the hall, first saluting.
"What's that makes you so serious?" Alan looked at Andy below and said with a frown.
"Duke, I just learned the news that the Marquis of Donglin of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom was killed in battle!"
