"He's dead!" Connor's body shuddered, then she stood up and repeated to the Iron Fist, who was still on alert, "The guy who escaped, he's dead." ”

Iron Fist blinked, and he immediately understood what Connor meant, it seemed that Sonic didn't take out the big boss by himself.

"You're using your power again?"

"Don't ask such stupid questions...... Connor was obviously a little dissatisfied with Iron Fist's sluggishness, after living comfortably in the air crossing collar for a while, she could not bear the harsh environment in the mountains and forests, and kept swatting the mosquitoes everywhere, "We should go back, I don't want to stay in this hot and humid place overnight." ”

Iron Fist shrugged his shoulders and pulled out his whistle, a special whistle that could transmit sound far away, even if it was two kilometers away.

A few minutes later, Sonic returned with a tight, spherical object wrapped in rags.

"Is that your trophy?" someone asked, with a good-natured laugh.

Sonic wanted to nod, but it wasn't, he was silent for a while, a little lost: "It was the wolf who killed him, I just cut off his head." ”

"You've done a good job. Iron Fist patted Sonic on the shoulder, he was very optimistic about the young man, and even intended to train him to be his successor.

"If it weren't for Connor's desire to leave quickly, you would have been the one to take out the leader of the thieves. Iron Fist laughed, "But it's good that our purpose has been accomplished, hasn't it?"

The big boss died, and this result is what Iron Fist wants to see, no matter whose hands he dies or how he dies.

As long as he dies, the purpose is achieved.

......

Imperial City, Sopa Workshop.

Old Sopa walked into the office, took off his simple protective suit, although his qualifications can be completely hands-on, but the habits he has developed over the years still allow him to maintain the habit of practice, he spread out the parchment, recalled the work just now, and recorded on it: " The melting point of the rigid rock is 4,200 degrees, and the addition of gold dust can greatly increase its dissolution rate, and I have not yet come to the conclusion whether it is a substance in the gold dust that causes it to dissolve faster, or the characteristics of the gold dust itself......"

"If it's the latter, then it's a bit troublesome, although gold dust is a common alchemy material, but its price is really very expensive, if it is allocated according to this ratio, I am afraid that by the time the task is completed, although the time will be much faster, but the cost will be more than three times the original calculation. ”

Old Sopa paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, "I tried to find out the combination of ingredients in the production of gold dust, but after hundreds of experiments, the mixture composed of other materials could not achieve the level of gold dust, and the deadline for the construction is getting closer and closer, but I haven't come up with any good way to do it......"

"Do you really want to use gold dust as a co-solvent? I am afraid that this extravagant use is too much for the Duke to bear, and if the cost is too high, our profits will be greatly reduced, this is a loss-making business, but unfortunately the Duke will not listen to my explanation. ”

The furnace in the smelting chamber was still burning, and the steel-colored boulders were gradually deforming in the heat, but the process was so slow that it was almost impossible to see the changes with the naked eye.

"Do you want to add a little gold dust?" shouted a dark-skinned craftsman next to him, "pulling the bellows won't work, this rock is too hard to refine!"

"Let's make some effort!" a middle-aged man who looked like an overseer walked up with a worried face: "We don't have much money, so it's better to use less to buy things other than raw materials, luxury accelerants like gold dust." ”

"But at this pace, I'm afraid it will take more than ten hours to smelt a furnace of rigid rock," the dark-skinned craftsman also looked a little anxious, and he ordered someone to pull the huge bellows, although this measure did help the fire to be stronger, but the effect was not obvious.

Three craftsmen kept adding coal and tar to the stove.

"This can't go on like this, in thirty days, we won't be able to complete the task assigned by the Duke at all!" the overseer frowned, "Let's go to the alchemy workshop and see if there is anything that can replace the gold dust!"

Old Sopa stood on the stairs and sighed as he looked at the anxiously busy apprentices of the craftsmen below.

I thought it would be a simple project, but I didn't expect this rigid rock to be so strong.

This is a new kind of ore.

Old Sopa only discovered this after he took over the task.

The Duke said that he wanted to create a batch of new armors, but he didn't expect the materials he chose to be so special.

"Armor made from the material extracted from the rigid rock is stronger than the hardest diamond. Old Sopa remembered what a certain master of the Rose Alchemy Workshop had said about the stone, "It is enough to withstand the impact of three thousand catties of force without deforming and denting." ”

Old Sopa looked at the jet-black bracers on the test bench, which had been made of rigid rock, and had proven to be more protective than originally thought.

However, it took three days just to create such a pair of bracers.

The substance extracted from the rigid rock, the old Sopa did not know if it could be described as steel, it was difficult to plastic, and it was extremely tough.

"Hoo ......"

"Mentor ......"

"Master Craftsman......

Greetings were heard all around, and although the old Sopa was addressed differently, the respect and affection in his tone could not be changed.

"Keep working. ”

"I'll go to the alchemy workshop and ask some of the masters to see if they have any good ideas," said old Sopa, who put on a robe.

Damn, do you really want to beg those old stubborns who have eyes above the top?

Old Sopa felt a little stuffy in his chest, since he broke away from the Rose Alchemy Workshop more than ten years ago and established this Sopa Workshop on his own, he had no contact with those old fellows.

He felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his ambition when he left the Rose Workshop.

"Those bastards are arrogant one by one, and they will be crazy to ridicule me when they see me as a member who voluntarily leaves," Old Sopa took a deep breath: "Stay, keep a peaceful attitude." ”

Old Sopa knew very well that the purpose of his trip was to continue the survival of the workshop he had worked so hard to build.
