125. Black iron
"It will encroach on the interests of the Terran store... In other words, it will be considered by the Terrans to have the ability to produce "overly dangerous weapons". ”
"Both." Beecher sighed softly.
"Why stay here? I heard that Liv Village is a nice place. "Actually, it's my own personal experience, and everyone in the villagers has a good opinion of Horf.
"I have a reason to stay in Zebel...", Beecher looked away and said nothing.
Xia Zuo didn't ask much and began to forge.
First of all, find the right metal in your bag, and the trip to the ruins of Marta was very fruitful, and when mining, you came across a rare "black iron" ore.
Black iron is a special material, although there is iron in the name, but it has nothing to do with iron, it is a completely different metal - all black.
Even though the black absorbs the light, its surface still reflects the fire outside the window of the weapons shop and the stove behind it.
"Black Iron!" Beecher raised his fingers trembled, "Why do you have it, I've only seen this kind of thing when I was younger... I can't even remember, it's been two hundred years..."
Xia Zuo felt that he would see this metal several times a week for 72 hours, which was even more unbelievable than Che.
"Two hundred years is a long time."
"yes... Everywhere I traveled, it was mined, and black iron was rare and difficult to form. ”
Maybe the Marta ruins have been sealed for hundreds of years, but it is still beneficial, Xia Zuo is holding a piece of black iron ore in one hand, and he feels that the center of gravity of his body is not very stable.
"I don't want you to tell me where it came from, heirlooms, or you found a new unknown mining site... But I can't tolerate it being wasted in front of me, can the guest tell me how to use it? Beecher asked immediately, looking at Xia Zuo with serious eyes, showing a deferential attitude.
"You'd be mad if you heard me say what it was used for?" Xia Zuo smiled, and then waved his hand, "I forgot what I just said, well, black iron has been used before, it is denser than ordinary iron, and it is more resistant to high temperatures, and the flames of the dragon clan can't melt it in a short time, but it is not suitable for direct use as weapons or armor, due to the density relationship, the weight is also very large, so I plan to use it as a heat-resistant material, add this silver gun, and restore the weapon." ”
After listening to what Xia Zuo said, Beecher nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I guessed what you wanted to do, and when I took out a spear that was half melted, I was thinking about this possibility." ”
Xia Zuo smiled at Bicher, and then looked up at Long Ge, who was still hanging out in the store.
"Long Ge, I need you to come and take a look at your weapons."
"Okay, my lord Xia Zuo." She immediately rushed to Xia Zuo's side.
When they heard Long Ge call Xia Zuo "my lord", Beecher and Valentine were shocked.
At first, when Xia Zuo said that they were not Terrans, he thought that they were both Inhumans with a tragic fate, and that tall women had been reduced to slaves... What, it's Xia Zuo's slave!?
"Guests... Only the Terrans are allowed to own Inhuman slaves in Zeber, why are you..."
Xia Zuo saw that Beicher's eyes were full of doubt.
"Because to participate in gladiatorial fights, you must be a non-human slave." Xia Zuo said solemnly.
“... Oh~" Beecher seemed to understand something, "If it's you, an Inhuman... Winning a gladiatorial fight, it's fun to think about! What wishes would you make to Your Majesty? ”
"Make a wish?" Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows, I haven't heard them describe this in detail, maybe this is the highest honor that gladiatorial fighting can get.
"Oh, I shouldn't have asked that," Beecher winked, "I'm not old enough, I naively imagined that you would wish the king for the benefit of the people as an Inhuman, and you might think about doing it... Because you have saved 63 subhumans today, but how can the king of the Terrans agree to such a wish, if you can win the gladiatorial battle, think about your own life, let the king fulfill a realistic wish of you, and do not know that you are an Inhuman while they can't see your appearance. ”
Seeing Beecher giggle, it seemed to become his personal interest... Xia Zuo also responded with a smile, not planning to tell him that his goal was just to go to the Ministry of Magic.
"What do you want me to see?" Long Ge, who had stood in front of Xia Zuo for a while, asked.
"The length, weight, and center of gravity of the silver gun." Xia Zuo handed the remnant gun to Long Ge, and handed her two pieces of black iron, "The black iron is very heavy, you must think carefully before you can start doing it, and if you make a wrong move, you can only do it again." ”
"Hmm... The length is according to the original, and the center of gravity is like this," Long Ge spread the spear in one hand and compared the approximate position, "In terms of weight, it doesn't matter, I used to think this spear was quite light. ”
"Light? Is it still light to add two pieces of black iron? Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows. When things are released in the bag, I don't feel that when I hold a piece of black iron in my hand, the change in the center of gravity of my body will be super obvious, even if I use a piece of black iron to fuse into the spear, Xia Zuo thinks that it is definitely not suitable for him.
"Yes, it's still light." Long Ge weighed and said.
Xia Zuo didn't expect that Long Ge's strange power had reached this point...
"And now?" Xia Zuo immediately took out the black iron from his bag, "What now?" ”
The third, fourth, fifth...
"It's light... Well, ok. ”
Until Xia Zuo took out the last piece of black iron in the inventory, a total of seven pieces, which was all found in this mining.
It was more than dumbfounded, and Valentine, who had just entered the industry, couldn't figure out what was the mystery of those metal mines like coal blocks... I only saw Long Ge's feet holding seven pieces of black metal ore in both hands, as if the stone floor was sinking in the slightest?
"Now that you've got it all right... So I have an idea, why not try to implement my long-held idea? Xia Zuo smiled expectantly.
"Are you going to start forging?" Long Ge also looked a little expectant, "When I heard that you are also like my clan's forger and can make weapons, I admired you even more. ”
Long Ge said that he would return all the metal he had just received to Xia Zuo, but the latter hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
"Don't don't, I can't take it, do you want to crush me?" Xia Zuo felt that the sum of seven pieces of black iron might have the weight of a small car.
Recalling the description of the black iron in the inventory before, one had more than two hundred kilograms, and he was able to take a two-hundred-kilogram thing to Long Ge with one hand like no one else, thanks to the promotion to more than twenty levels. It is very uncomfortable to make it into a weapon, even if it is fused into an iron sword.
"Then I should..."
"Put it in the furnace." Xia Zuo pointed to the bright fire against the wall and emphasized, "Put it gently!" Don't put it down at a distance, it'll ruin the furnace! ”
"Do as you command." Long Ge did so, holding the pile of metal forward, one step at a time, shattering a few stone floors.
"What are you going to do, guest!?" Beecher asked with a trembling voice.
"Ah, don't worry, I'll pay for the floor."
"That's a trifle," Beecher interrupted, "do you want to refine black iron ore into black iron ingots?" I burned those seven pieces of black iron on this small fire, and it didn't work for three days and three nights, even if I added all the coal in the shop, and a few of us didn't sleep anymore..."
"It won't take that long, it's just a blink of an eye." Xia Zuo said lightly.
