Chapter 1089: Seeking the Secret in the Sand Sea (11)

"Uhh what?!" Palamides frowned, startled by Daddy Sphinx's strange request, "You just want us to go to dinner?" "That's true." Daddy Sphinx grinned again and explained slowly, "But this meal is not easy to deal with, thinking that the lady we are going to meet is the queen of gems in South Africa, and at the same time a suspicious woman who does not take strangers lightly and trusts strangers in trouble. "Oh. Hearing this, Palamides was relieved. It turns out that this task is still difficult, and it is not as simple as going to eat a meal. I'm afraid that the queen of gems is very difficult to deal with, so the Sphinx father had to ask for a helper so much, right?

Anyway, let's listen to what Daddy has to say.

"The lady who was going to have dinner with us was the richest man in Africa, a super-rich man with an annual income of 30 trillion yuan in the gemstone industry alone. Daddy Lionman explained in a calm tone, without any emotion, neither approval nor jealousy.

However, this lovely lady had a strange principle of never doing business with people who had no family. She thought that people without families were selfish and could not be trusted, so she refused the old man's request several times. We had an astronomical deal between us, but for that reason it has not progressed. Speaking of this, Palamedis basically understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel amused: "So you pretend to us to be your son and grandson, and go to the rich man?" The moment he spoke, the Sphinx father's eyes rolled and avoided the gaze of the leopard warrior: "No. You are not [pretending] to be my family, but you are really acknowledging to be my family. Lady Cardijana, the Queen of Gems, is a dark elf of pure blood, and she can easily tell if a person is lying by the sound of their heart. Therefore, if you don't admit from your heart that you are the old man's family, you will definitely be recognized by her when you speak. "Is there really no problem?" Palamides frowned suspiciously: "After all, it's just a grinding gun, and we will be recognized by the other party as soon as we open our mouths." The lion man smiled confidently: "You can show your face in front of that lady, when you want to answer a question, you can answer the part truthfully, answer the part that you can't answer truthfully, just keep silent, and the old man will finish the scene." "Daddy Sphinx seems confident that he can fool the Queen of Gems with his rhetoric - even if she can easily see through the lie?

Palamides was still not at ease, and glanced at his father: "This is astronomical business, if we accidentally mess up" "I don't blame you, I definitely don't blame you." The lion man laughed again: "You were personally invited by the old man to help, no matter what the result is, the old man has no right to blame you." In short, you just have to play your role well. The Queen of Jewels wants to see our family eating in harmony, so you can fulfill her. Palamides was silent. He really doesn't understand the world of the rich. There are too many eccentrics among these billionaires, and their actions cannot be explained by the common sense of ordinary people.

Anyway, for the time being, let's be obedient to Daddy Sphinx and take advantage of Daddy's deal with the Gem Queen. It's the best thing to be able to reap the benefits of adult beauty at the same time.

"Looks like you've decided. The Sphinx saw the big cat's compromise in Palamides' eyes, and stood up happily and said, "We have a lot to prepare before today's dinner begins. It's time to get busy - start with table manners training!" "Huhu~" Albert had just gobbled up the whole cake, and there was a little cream sticking to the corners of his mouth: "You're going to start pretending to be noble? "You're going to love this game, kid. Father Sphinx smiled lovingly and handed the tiger a napkin.

At the same time, the black market in Cairo.

It only took about two hours, and Segrade had already bought a lot of materials, pushed them in a cart from the black market, and walked slowly with Solal to Daddy Odin's workshop.

In order to avoid boredom, Solal stopped outside the door and let Zhalfir enter the workshop. And when the leopard man youth entered the house, the sound of Odin Daddy knocking on the iron also stopped abruptly.

"What did you buy and come back?" the old man looked at Zhalfir's trolley.

"Some ore raw materials, and," Segrad replied truthfully, taking off his head-covering scarf and breathing a sigh of relief, "well, I don't know what they are." "You don't know how to pay for it, good boy," Daddy sneered coldly, picking up the sundries in the car to see what was going on.

He picked up some fist-sized black stones, "Well, it's the finest Uzi ore." This makes great Uzi steel, but it's very difficult to machine. Segrade was silent, listening carefully to his father's comments.

Daddy Odin picked up another piece of cyan fish scales: "Siren's scales." Grinding and then mixing into the weapon is considered a primitive enchantment, which can greatly increase the flexibility of the weapon. Segrade was still silent, he didn't understand anything Daddy was saying.

Daddy picked up another thigh-thick fang: "The teeth of the three-headed Cerberus." Hmph, wonderful stuff. Is it intended to enchant the flame effect for the weapon?" the leopard man youth continued to remain silent, the old man's statement was a little different from what Segrade had imagined in his mind, at least the vague image that came to his mind told him that the weapon he made would have nothing to do with flames at all.

"And then there's this" Father Odin picked up a crystal stone and asked with interest, "Isn't this a moonstone crystal? Are you going to decorate your weapons? Forget it, those weapons full of embossing, they are all made by laymen. The leopard man youth shook his head: "It's not a decoration, I plan to grind it into powder and mix it into a weapon." Father Odin looked at the leopard man in disbelief: "Are you serious? If you do this, it may reduce the hardness of the weapon and turn the iron ingot into scrap iron?" Segrade said.

This time it was Odin's turn to be silent. He got up from his seat, made way for space, and motioned for Segrade to come to the fire.

"I don't know what you're thinking. Daddy picked up the pieces of Uzi and threw them into the basin: "But if this is a gut telling you to do this, do as you instinct." We first refine these Uzi ores into ingots, and then we find a way to mix other materials into them. Will you use this furnace?" Segrad looked at the ancient, dilapidated and charred but very well-preserved furnace, and couldn't help but be full of respect at the same time: "Aunt Vivien uses a quantum furnace, which is much more advanced than this. But I think I'll use this meow. "Very well, you can use it as you please. "Daddy began to smash the moonstone crystals into powder with a hammer.

The ironmaking process is monotonous and boring, just melting the ore at high temperatures, removing impurities, and then turning the hot molten steel into molding.

In the process, Segrade separated two more parts of steel, one mixed with the powder of the three-headed Cerberus fangs to serve as the outer skin of the weapon, and the other mixed with the powder of the Kraken scales, presumably prepared as the inner core of the weapon.

In this way, the outer layer of the weapon is hard and sharp enough, and the inner layer is designed to withstand impact, and is cast to be extremely flexible and never break. By this point, Odin Daddy could see a rough idea of what Segrade was going to do. However, what about those moonstone crystal powders? If you want to mix the powder into it, you should take advantage of it now, why don't you do it yet?

"Alright meow!" Segrade said with satisfaction as he looked at the two ingots with different properties, "It's time to start forging swords." While he used his tongs to stuff the inner iron ingot into the furnace and heat it to soften, he took the hammer and struck it violently, so that the large iron ingot gradually changed into a fixed shape. Daddy Odin watched coldly, and had no intention of interfering.

Strange to say, the black hammer that Segrid got from Daddy Odin seems to be a magical artifact, and hitting the iron ingot with it is simply twice the result with half the effort, and it can knock out the shape that Segrade wants, and it is very labor-saving. The blade gradually took shape, and it was cast to a very large size, the height of Segrade, and it used up the entire iron ingot with the inner core in one fell swoop—the leopard man probably wanted to start by making Elaine's greatsword.

"Whew. After about ten minutes, the leopard man youth stopped his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to the old man: "What about the moonstone powder?" The old man silently handed the ground moonstone crystal powder to the leopard man, wondering what the big cat was going to do with the powder. The time to mix powder on iron ingots has long passed, and even if the powder is smeared on the created inner core now, the effect must not be obvious enough, and wiping it is equivalent to not wiping it.

Ignoring Daddy Odin's soft taunts, Segrade spread the moonstone powder evenly over the steel core, then shoved the entire inner core of the blade into the furnace with pliers. The moonstone powder melted at the high temperature and adhered to the core of the sword like a layer of glass.

Daddy Odin couldn't understand it now. There is an extra layer of glass-like sandwich between the inner core and the outer skin of the weapon, which may have a very bad impact on the hardness and toughness of the blade, and the sword is also a whole circle out of thin air.
