The blacksmith's fire was blazing, the walls next to it were reddened, and a dwarf was sleeping on a chaise longue opposite. But just a second before everyone came in, his eyes were open.

"Mr. Neil, look at this ......"

"What ore? I'm not interested in ordinary things. The dwarf on the chaise longue opened one eye and asked nonchalantly. His messy red hair looked like a fire in a stove.

Elena covered her mouth and burst out laughing. The red-haired old blacksmith must have heard their conversation a long time ago.

Rupert took the black ore and respectfully handed it to Old Neil. The next moment old Neil jumped out of his chair regardless of his image, and looked left and right with the ore in his hand, his eyes shining with a feverish light.

"It's definitely the weirdest ore I've ever seen in my life, and I can't wait to gear it up. How about young man, let my old bones exert their residual heat again. Old Neil's big rough hand stroked the black ore and said with an excited expression.

"Can you make a sword?" Felder drew his broadsword and looked at Old Neil expectantly.

"Hmm...... Although this ore seems to be very pure, I'm afraid that such a wide sword will not work, if it is thinner and add some auxiliary materials, it should be fine, well, just add some Mithril. ”

"Okay, a little bit is a little bit fine. How much does it cost?"

"Old Neil's craft is not measured by money!"

“......”

Ten minutes later, next to the furnace.

"Rupert, get some more fuel!"

"Add Magic Accelerant!"

After another ten minutes, Old Neil looked at the open furnace door with an unwilling expression, and the black ore remained in the flames unchanged.

"It's more troublesome than I expected, is there really only one way?" said old Neil, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and muttering to himself.

"What's the solution?" Felder's dimming gaze brightened again.

"Deeper in Herbertsel there is a fissure that is thousands of meters long, and people call it the Great Rift. In the deepest part of the chasm is a powerful natural accelerant, the Lava Core, that can easily melt any metal I've ever seen. There's a forged left behind by the Dwarven Craftsman's Guild, made of mythril and black iron, and it's the only one that can withstand the heat of the lava core. When my father was alive, it was the most famous place in Herbertsel, only to be overrun by the abominable cavemen......"

"What are cavemen, are they human?" asked Ace, blinking wide-eyed.

"Cavemen are primitive creatures that live underground, and they are more like apes than humans. But they have a certain amount of intelligence and can craft some simple tools and weapons. ”

Old Neil straightened up his messy red beard and continued, "If you're going to go deeper underground, I'm sure you'll be able to craft an exciting weapon. Old Neil spoke in a calm tone, but his words were full of temptation.

"Aren't they just monkeys with primitive weapons, we have a future great magician, a brave knight......

Under the influence of Felder's "verbose art", the group decided to make a trip to the place called the Great Rift, which, according to Old Neil, was at the western end of Hebsel.

Old Neil left the shop in Rupert's care, and carried his toolbox on his back. Neil, who is nearly two hundred years old, has a body that is not inferior to that of a young man, with large muscles bulging, and he walks like a wind-wound split-hoof cow.

"Aren't we supposed to go west, how did we go north?" asked Wayne as he walked down the streets of the western district.

"We need to meet someone before we go, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get there with a few of us. Old Neil walked as fast as he carried his suitcase, and the others needed to walk fast to keep up with him.

After crossing a block, Old Neil stopped in front of a relatively low house. The wooden door was ajar, and Old Neil reached out and pushed it open, and everyone entered.

The place in the house is not small, but the layout is very strange. Several large tables were filled with bottles and jars, connected together by tubes, some of which were still billowing with mist. There are some strange machines and a mess of mechanical parts on the ground. There are complex pipes installed overhead, connected horizontally and vertically, and some parts of the pipes are even leaking white gas.

"What a strange place, the owner of this place?" said Elena, tilting her head.

"Ahh Vane followed the prestige, and something was flying towards everyone at a great speed!

"Bang!" Old Neil stood indifferently in front of him with a hammer in his outstretched hand. And the thing that flew over was smashed two or three meters away by the hammer, and was lying on the ground emitting black smoke.

"Ahh

Old Neil blew on the hammer, put it in the toolbox, and walked over to the goblin with his arms outstretched and laughing: "Guy, your power propulsion system has succeeded?"

"If it weren't for your hammer, it would have been a success!" Guy said sharply, clasping his hands to his chest, his eyebrows squeezed together.

"Hahaha. Old Neil laughed without the slightest guilt, and laughed for ten seconds before he stopped, and his tone became a little serious: "Old friend, there is one thing that needs your help, we are going to the Great Rift. You know, there are the best furnaces and felts out there. ”

"I also know that it is the territory of the cavemen, and even has unknown powers!" said Guy angrily.

Old Neil remained unmoved, and looked at Guy quietly.

"Really going?"

Old Neil was quiet like a dwarven sculpture.

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of sending you there. Guy shrugged helplessly, and continued, "I'm just waiting outside, I don't want to face those savage monkeys." ”

"Great treasures, two treasures!" Guy shouted, turning his head. As soon as he finished speaking, two green-skinned goblins ran out from behind the table. "I'm ready to work. ”

"How can it be ......the same as my nickname," muttered Simpson, not knowing if he was talking about Dabao or Erbao.

It turned out that the two green-skinned goblins were Guy's apprentices, and Guy turned out to be a famous mechanical master in the mainland, nicknamed "Crazy Guy". The "Crazy Gear Goblin Technology Laboratory" was founded by him.

The two young apprentices mechanics didn't talk much but were very professional, and Guy only gave a few words, and they quickly packed up the items they needed. Simpson carried a huge rattan basket, and the others took the rest and began to march towards the Great Breach.

Heading west, about half an hour later the group came to the edge of Herbertsel. There were no houses here, there were rocks everywhere, and the surroundings were completely shrouded in silence and darkness, and if it weren't for the miner's lamp above Old Neil's head, everyone would not have been able to move an inch. The beam of light from the miner's lamp swayed in the darkness, looking lonely and helpless.

It didn't take long for Old Neil to stop and make a gesture that he had arrived. It's still dark ahead, but it looks deeper. Guy and Dabao quickly assembled the flying machine, the hot air balloon, which is a simple and practical aerodynamic device, which heats the air by burning magic stones, and uses the principle of hot air to float to control the balloon lifting, which is perfect for the Great Rift.

Everyone stood in the rattan basket, Guy flipped the switch, the whirring wind sounded, and the deflated balloon quickly puffed up. Soon the surroundings began to shake and the hot air balloon showed signs of floating. Vane clutched the edge of the rattan frame, the rudimentary-looking flying machine that made his heart rise to his throat.

Nothing dangerous happened, the hot air balloon flew up, and it was very smooth, thanks to the professional operation of Guy and Dabao Erbao.

The special device causes the magic stone to burn violently, and flames erupt upwards from the gap at the bottom of the balloon. The hot air balloon floats like a large glowing jellyfish into the depths of darkness.
