However, although there is no plan for the gray dwarves to integrate into his territory on a large scale for the time being, Gordon still selected twenty skilled blacksmiths from the Stoneheart tribe and brought them back to the new city. These grey dwarven blacksmiths will use their unique dwarven skills to improve the quality of the weapons of the Gordon army.

Since the Aikan had taken refuge and defeated the Penza rebels, he, an alien lord, had gradually gained a foothold on the peninsula. There was an endless stream of local tribes, large and small, who came to him every day to swear allegiance. In this way, he has more and more human resources at his disposal, and he can maintain a larger standing army.

As the number of troops expands, veterans of the battle can gradually be equipped with new weapons from the hands of the gray dwarves, and those recruits will use old goods that have been replaced by veterans. After the expansion and refitting of the army is completed, Gordon can also consider the issue of weapons export in exchange for more funds.

Of course, these are trivial issues for Gordon. He is not a fine farmer, as long as the territory remains good and the GDP continues to grow. Miscellaneous matters are taken care of by his subordinates, and his main energy still has to be focused on the arcane.

Speaking of arcane arts, these gray dwarves did bring a lot of good things after they attached themselves to him. Traverk Yiyan handed over all the precious books kept by his family to Gordon. It just so happened that the mage had read all the arcane books he had stockpiled recently—including the tome "The Synthesis of Runes, Enchantments, Mechanics, and Forging" that he had previously obtained from his halfling brother in the Ancient Path.

Gordon has learned a lot of useful knowledge from this masterpiece that the halflings Baggins brothers have worked on all their lives, earning 3ooo experience points and improving various creation skills just by using the character attributes panel. Most importantly. He has obtained a specialty called "Magical Strange Machine", and the original specialty of "Strange Thing Making Zuò" has also been upgraded to "High-level Strange Thing Manufacturing".

The game structure of Ancient Age. At the end of the day, it's actually a game of craps. The player smashes people with fireballs. Or wield a long sword and slash at a monster, take a lock picker to open a treasure chest, or use a charm human to control a beautiful female NPC to do something embarrassing, all of them are players who throw dice, and then let the system determine whether the dice thrown by the player can pass a specific value - that is, the verification value, if so, it is a pass to the check, then the player's behavior is successful. If you haven't been. Then the player's action fails.

Of course, with a series of elements such as attributes, equipment, skills, etc., influencing the process of rolling the dice, the game system becomes very complex, interesting, and deep.

Gordon's use of making zuò potions, magic wands, scrolls, and more complex magical items can also be seen as throwing dice. And his corresponding creation skills and specialties can attach a value to him when he rolls the dice, so that he can have a higher probability of passing the guò test.

For example, Gordon has two six-sided dice in his hand. And if he wants to make a potion of the five-ring spell, he needs to cast a number of 1o verification value. If you calculate it this way, the success rate of successfully making a five-ring spell potion. It's small.

However, when Gordon's alchemy skills continued to improve, and after mastering the specialty of "concocting potions", he gained an additional 5 bonus value when configuring potions, so as long as he threw two six-sided dice for 5 points, he was able to successfully make a five-ring spell potion, and the success rate was greatly improved.

Now, Gordon has improved his creation and arcane skills, and learned new specialties. This makes it no longer a big "zero" for him to try to make some high-level magic items. Finally, there is a certain basic success rate. So he was able to try his hand at making some more advanced magic items.

The magic machine is a specialty that allows Gordon to make objects that are a mix of arcane and mechanical. Have a higher success rate. Golems do not belong to the category of machines, but to the category of "sculpture". However, the black titan that Gordon once made, the vest of this golem, is a kind of magical weapon.

And the puppet dragon he was planning to make also belonged to this type.

In the books of the Stone Heart Family, there are indeed many records and descriptions of the puppet dragon, as Travok said. Gordon finally understood what kind of principle this powerful war machine of the gray dwarf clan was.

Although the essence of the principle is very different, but like those intelligent machines on the earth, in order to make the puppet dragon move and obey its own commands, there must be two major systems: "power" and "control".

The power source chosen by the Grey Dwarves for the puppet dragons is the Leyline Radiant Crystal.

Leyline radiation is a very peculiar natural phenomenon in the underground world. Teleportation spells cannot be used in the leyline radiant area, and other energy systems are strongly disturbed. Basically, apart from the Necro Zone, the Leyline Radiation Zone is the second place that mages don't want to go.

However, for the dwarves who have had little to do with magic for a long time, the leyline radiation zone is not a big deal. What's more, in these areas, there are often special crystals formed by absorbing a large amount of leyline radiation energy, that is, leyline radiation crystals.

This crystal is a good source of energy and is used by the Grey Dwarves in a variety of ways. Their emitting blue glow has a mesmerizing and mysterious quality, and is seen by the gray dwarves as a gift from the gods. Therefore, the leyline radiation crystal is also known as the divine light crystal.

Clearly, for the Grey Dwarves, this crystal is the power source of choice for a large war machine like a puppet dragon.

Although Gordon didn't have a leyline radiation crystal on hand, it was difficult to get a large enough piece, but the secret energy core he got from the Vesurashan Mountain could replace the leyline radiation crystal very well and solve the power problem.

The Myser Core was broken, but it wasn't like the one Gordon had found in the Danze ruins. The energy of this Myser Core has not been exhausted, otherwise it would not be possible to pollute the water and land of most of the Haiwen Peninsula. So as long as Gordon repairs it, it can be used as a power source for the puppet dragon.

As for the problem of controlling zhì, the gray dwarf relied on the demon pet to solve it.

Although these gray-skinned dwarves didn't have rune mages until the Fourth Age, the entire race was not always insulated from the arcane. The Warlock profession still appears from time to time among the Gray Dwarves.

According to a book provided to Gordon by the Stoneheart tribe called "Crystals and Life", the Grey Dwarf Warlock uses the special power of the leyline radiation crystal to evolve his pet into a "crystal primordial". In this way, it can be perfectly used as a "control device" to control the puppet dragon with the leyline radiation crystal as the power source. (To be continued)
