Chapter 420: IQ is problematic
Mogg looked at the Dunis with an expression as if he were looking at a fool.
"Can you see what's wrong with this metal? Can you tell it's mixed with impurities? Can you see the impurity affecting the strength of the metal? ”
Mogg threw several questions at Dunis in a row, making the other party's face cloudy.
“…… I can't tell, after all, my forging technique is too far behind yours. I'm sure this guy must be talking nonsense too, just to get your attention......"
Naturally, Dunis didn't want to offend Master Mogg, so he focused all his firepower on Ji Ran.
“…… So how do you see he's talking nonsense? Mogg still looked at Dunis with that look.
“…… It's very simple, seeing that he is younger than me, how can he have such a high achievement in the art of forging? Master, you have spent a lot of time on blacksmithing, how can he have the same amount of time to study the forging technique as you? He's definitely blindfolded! ”
Dunis seemed to have the confidence to express his views with his head held high.
“…… If you are confused, can you be blinded to this point? Mogg frowned at Dunis.
Dunis's eyes widened, a little overwhelmed.
"I ...... I don't think so, because I don't know much about blacksmithing. But that guy may understand a little, so the chances of being in the middle of the game are much better than mine......" His words were inconsistent, and it seemed that by now, he also felt that there was a big hole in his duties......
But smart people's brains always turn fast. See. Is there a reasonable reason for this soon?
“…… Can you ...... then?" Mogg seemed to ask as if he wanted to continue. However, Ji Ran, who had been watching it for a long time, couldn't wait any longer.
This kind of mentally retarded guy should use the facts to slap him in the face.
"Don't bother, Master Mogg. The...... Dunis, right? Don't you question me? Then I'll show him how. ”
As he spoke, Ji Ran glanced at the Dunis, then walked over to the piece of metal and began to take something out of his pocket.
"Hmph, do you want to succeed this time? That's impossible! Master Mogg, you must not let him touch your things. Otherwise, if you break it, you will be in trouble! That piece of metal, but it's a valuable material to make my weapon......"
Now not only Ji Ran, but everyone else around him began to doubt Dunis's IQ. Did this guy deliberately show off his IQ flaws? Why were his parents so relieved to let him come out alone? Oh no, with a bunch of bodyguards in the back...... But this is probably more likely to aggravate his condition, right?
Mogg ignored him this time, but looked at Ji Ran: "What are you going to do?" ”
Ji Ran didn't look up, and still continued the work in hand: "To be precise, I am an alchemist, not a blacksmith. But the alchemy I have studied is probably a little different from yours, and I have a certain understanding of the treatment of this metal. All I have to do now is. Use the means of an alchemist to replace those impurities......"
Then, Ji Ran took advantage of the fact that the metal was still glowing red. Sprinkle all kinds of self-prepared materials evenly, and then press one of your own hands on it.
The red-hot metal did not cause any damage to Ji Ran's hands, after all, Ji Ran wrapped his hands with true qi...... Then, the fire of the heart came out of his palm, swirling around the metal, slowly allowing the spilled materials to seep in.
"These things have an adsorption effect on those impurities, and they can also change the properties of some of them, so that their impact on the metal becomes positive...... In fact, I think that even if there are no impurities, some of the hardness is too high, and the toughness is insufficient, and the weapon made must be extremely sharp, but it is easy to break due to huge external forces. ”
Ji Ran was exerting his heart fire while talking to that Mogg.
After listening to Ji Ran's words, Mogg nodded: "Actually, I didn't use this piece of metal to make weapons, but I plan to use this metal to make the blade part." In this way, the weapon can be sharpened and the disadvantage of lack of toughness can be avoided. ”
"Oh? That's a good idea. But this brings us to the question of the degree of fusion between this metal and the metal used to make the weapon. And when the magic effect is applied later, there will be also slight differences, and it is quite complicated to deal with......"
The two of them talked like this, treating the other person as nothing. Ilson was fine, but his mouth opened wide in surprise - he didn't expect that a guy he had just casually talked to could actually communicate with Master Mogg on an equal footing about the forging problem! Doesn't this mean that this person is about the same level as Master Mogg?
And Dunis really saw it this time, Ji Ran was not blind. No matter how blindfolded, it's impossible to operate it yourself, it looks so skilled! Although it is certainly not a blacksmith in terms of technique, it is also different from an ordinary alchemist...... But it's clear that Master Mogg approved of this technique!
This shows that that guy really knows how to forge, and he is about the same level as Master Mogg......
So what I said before was a fool? Offended that guy and offended Master Mogg?
Although Dunis has a bit of a problem with his head, he is not stupid to that extent. However, although he was a little panicked, he was not too bothered...... I came here through my grandfather's face, what are you afraid of?
So, he didn't go, he didn't continue to speak, he just watched there.
Naturally, the others would not take the initiative to pay attention to him, Ji Ran was discussing the issue of this piece of metal with Master Mogg, and the others were either busy with their own business or watching the excitement on the side, while Les found Ji Ran again after walking around the finished shop on the side...... Naturally, the things in those finished shops will not enter their eyes, and there is an alchemy master by their side, so why buy things produced by the dwarves here?
Although the quality of the things produced by the dwarves is indeed good, Ji Ran's alchemy is unique, directly formed, and the quality is even stronger than the equipment enchanted by the dwarven blacksmith to create the dwarf alchemist......
At this time, if you go to buy standard products made by dwarven blacksmiths, you really don't think your head is big enough.
They didn't know about the conflict between Dunis and Ji Ran...... They weren't there. So seeing Ji Ran actually discussing the forging of a piece of metal with a dwarf blacksmith, he thought it was very interesting, and he stayed by the side and didn't speak, just watched like that.
“…… So I think that, after my processing, this piece of metal can be used as a material for the weapon itself. You don't have to look for other metals to make the blade...... Of course, your idea is pretty good. ”
Ji Ran and Mogg's discussion had obviously reached the time for results.
"You're right, this metal has indeed grown in strength after you have refined it. However, my method of making weapons is also quite effective, as long as it solves the problem of incompatibility with each other when enchanting...... Speaking of which, I didn't expect that there would be people who have studied metals so deeply! I thought they would only use bones or something to make weapons! ”
Master Mogg also seemed to be pleasant, laughing heartily.
“…… If you're not talking about necromancers, you're orcs. Necromancers like to use a qiē bone to make their magic items, and orcs ...... They will only use the thigh bone of the monster as a weapon. ”
Ji Ran also laughed. This dwarven master forge is very interesting, at least from the perspective of forging, the other party is indeed a master in the truest sense of the word.
"That's right! The brains of those orcs will only choose big and thick things to fight! You're a funny boy, Mogg wants to give you a drink! Let's go, let's put down the work here first. I've made a new friend today, so be sure to have a drink! ”
Mogg laughed and patted Ji Ran's ...... hard Thigh. No way, whether it's a pat on the shoulder or a pat on the back, he doesn't have that condition. And if you slap your ass...... That thing is a little too indecent.
Ji Ran also happily accepted the invitation: "No problem, I don't have anything to do anyway." It was also a pleasure to know a master blacksmith and it deepened my knowledge of metal. Dwarves are worthy of being dwarves, the closest race to stone and metal! ”
Both sides were delighted, so they walked shoulder to shoulder—well, get the spirit, don't bother with the details—toward a nearby tavern, leaving behind only a large crowd of stunned people......
"Wait! Master Mog! You promised me a weapon, and that was my grandfather's request! Suddenly, a voice popped up. Not surprisingly, the person who spoke was naturally Dunis...... This guy hasn't figured out the situation yet!
He seemed to feel that since it was his grandfather's request, then Master Mogg should help him do it without complaint...... Although grandpa asked himself to compliment this dwarf, but since the compliment is useless now, let's take grandpa out, right?
“…… Let your grandfather come and ask me personally! What are you supposed to do, what are you going to do! Mogg roared back, turned his head and continued towards the tavern.
Dunis was stunned, and then his face was full of anger: "You don't even care about my grandfather's request...... Dwarven Master is amazing? And that kid...... Dare to disturb Mogg to forge a weapon for me! Humph......"
Dunis blushed and turned to walk in the other direction. And the group of guards behind him also turned around...... It's not the first time they've seen this kind of behavior of their own master, so they've long been surprised.
Anyway, there is an old master to wipe his ass, and it's none of his business.
Les and the others looked at the Dunis who walked away with a snort, and then looked at Ji Ran, who walked into the tavern with the old man of the dwarf, and shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that when you get to the chassis of the dwarf, drinking can be regarded as a daily activity?" ”
Baker smiled with a nonchalant expression on the side: "What about so much, can't you just keep up?" We can't be left behind when we drink alcohol, right? ”
So, a group of people walked into the tavern that Ji Ran had just entered...... (To be continued......)
