Chapter 80: The Melting Pot

After laughing for a while, the three Vane were led by Walker to the melting pot. As he walked, Wayne asked, "Walker, how did you meet Uncle Vandal?" ”

"Huh? Any questions? Walker thought there was something strange about Vane's problem.

Vane understood that his question was a bit abrupt, so he said to Walker: "Uncle Vandal is a high-ranking officer, it seems to be ......"

"Oh. That's what you say. Vane wasn't finished, but Walker understood what Vane meant. So he replied with a smile: "Vandal and I belong to the same clan. He's very close to the clan land, so he often goes back to check it out. So we get to know each other. ”

"I see." Vane was stunned, and then suddenly realized that Walker's answer contained a new question, and immediately turned his head and asked, "Vandal and you are from the same clan?" ”

"That's right. What's wrong? Walker asked curiously.

"Your clan is the Thunderspear Clan?" Vane asked, looking at Walker.

"yes, didn't I tell you?" Walker said confusedly.

"No, no. Before today, we never knew which clan you were from. Vane shook his head.

"Really?" Walker turned his head to look at Barka and Kalia in confusion, and Barka and Kalia quickly shook their heads when they saw Walker looking over. Walker recalled, and it seemed that it was, that he had never mentioned the suffix of his name to Vane and them, nor had he told Vane which clan he belonged to.

After thinking about it, Walker said solemnly: "Okay, now what I want to tell you is that I, Walker Spear." He is a dwarven warrior from the Thunderspear Clan. ”

Looking at Walker's serious face, the three of Van suddenly became a little unaccustomed. However, this is the habit of lovers, and when facing friends that they recognize, they must tell each other which clan they come from. This is a very serious matter.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the three of Walker and Vane were so used to fighting that he couldn't remember that he had never told Vane about himself. Through this time, Walker officially recognized Vane and Barka and Kalia as his friends.

An hour later, through the convenient passage of the military district, Walker led Vane and them to the inner circle of the Ironforge Furnace. The temperature here is even higher. Looking up, there was a skylight-like hole above their heads. Billowing smoke and pungent smells from the melting pot will be emitted from the hole overhead to the outside.

Underneath the hole are a number of containers filled with molten iron, which seem to have loopholes and are constantly dripping down. Underneath these vessels lay another vessel that was extremely tall, and because it was so tall, they didn't know what it contained.

"What's in there? Isn't it the molten iron that drips? How I listened to the popping sound kept ringing. As Vane passed by the containers, he heard a constant popping sound coming from above. So he pointed to the container next to him and asked Walker.

"It's water." Walker looked at the container that Vane was pointing to and said, "The molten iron dripping from it will turn into a round bead in the air, and then it will be cooled into the water to get a round projectile." These projectiles were the bullets of the musket. Do you understand? ”

"Oh~, as soon as you say that, I understand." After hearing this, Vane suddenly realized.

"What, that's how the projectile is made?" Barka was surprised.

"What? What's the problem? Hearing Barka's surprised voice, Walker turned his head to look at Barka.

"Shouldn't the pellets of the muskets be smashed out by you dwarves with hammers, hammer after hammer?" Barka said stunned.

"Which idiot told you that?" Walker stared at Barka with wide eyes and said, "How is it possible to forge such a round projectile with a hammer." All projectiles are produced in this way. ”

"You're stupid, Barka." Kalia whispered to Barka beside her.

"Hey, Kalia. I just didn't think about it. Barka said angrily at Kaliya's assessment.

"Well, you just didn't think of it." Kalia saw that Barka was already annoyed, and she didn't really intend to anger Barka, so she nodded.

They continued on their way, and not long after they had walked, they heard a clanging sound in the distance. When you walk inside, you can see that the dwarven craftsmen are forging around the furnace. They hold iron tongs in one hand and hammers in the other.

"Walker, how come the hammers in their hands are not the same size?" Barka asked curiously as he looked at the hammers held by the dwarves who were forging in the distance, large and small.

"If you can ask this kind of question, it can be seen that you have no knowledge of forging at all. But yes, after all, you High Elves are known for their arcane abilities. Walker shook his head at Barka's question and said, "Forging items depends on the size of the item and the steps of forging to choose the size of the hammer. A sledgehammer is generally used to forge a rough shape, while a small hammer is used to correct the details of an item. Only the flexible use of various models of hammers can forge a satisfying work. ”

After Walker thought about it, he explained to Barka again: "Forging is not only a matter of the size of the hammer, but also the cooling method, cooling temperature, forging technique, frequency, and many other links will affect the quality of a forged item. Therefore, if you want to forge a perfect object, you need to understand and be proficient in many forging techniques. And that's where we dwarves excel. ”

"Oh~, I thought that the arcane was troublesome enough, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to strike iron." Barka scratched his head.

"Barka, if you want to be the best at everything, then there are no simple things." Vane heard Barka's words and turned to him.

"Really? But I don't think so. Fishing, for example, is very simple. Barka listened to Vane's words and immediately retorted.

"Stupid Barka. Brother Vane is saying that he wants to be the best he can be. Don't you understand? As soon as Kalia heard Barka retort to Vane, she immediately spoke to Barka.

"However, even if you want to do your best, I think it's very easy to do fishing." Barka turned to Kalia.

"If you want to be the best at fishing, you must first know each type of fish, know the distribution area of these fish, what environment they like to live in, what kind of food they like, when they spawn, how many eggs they lay at a time, and so on. Vane opened his mouth and explained to Barkka, "Also, if you want good food, you have to know how to cook it, so you have to know how to make all kinds of food, like the fish soup we drink. What do you think? ”

Baka listened, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "Well, I admit it, you're right. It seems that I did underestimate a lot of things. ”

As they discussed, they visited the central melting pot of Ironforge......
