Chapter 419: Master Mogg
Originally, Ji Ran felt that the adventurer who talked to him at the beginning was more rude, but now compared with that Dunis, it is just a little green...... In other respects, it is much stronger!
At least they didn't speak to themselves in a domineering tone...... Let yourself line up, also because you are afraid that others will preempt you and let Master Mogg forge weapons, right?
The adventurer's time is also precious.
And this Dunis is completely different. He was gorgeously dressed...... Although it is also leather armor, you can see that it is worth a lot of money at a glance...... At least the gold threads and gems that adorned the leather armor weren't fake. Moreover, there were faint fluctuations of magic coming from his leather armor...... As you can imagine, it was a magic prop.
Behind him, the big-shouldered guys were more of his bodyguards than his regiment...... The respectful attitude of those people towards him also illustrates this.
And that domineering posture...... Ji Ran has seen a guy with this kind of momentum more than once...... None of them are good.
That Ilson was so angry that he was almost speechless: "Dunis! Don't go too far! Master Mogg told me about it! Also, this person came before you! You've got to queue up and you've got to the back! β
Dunis glanced at Ilson contemptuously, "Are you still awake in the morning?" I want Master Mogg's first work today, do I have to discuss it with you? You guys just honestly wait for the next work...... Line up? That's what you poor sour people do! β
Ji Ran didn't know much about it. It stands to reason that this Dunis seems to have reached an agreement with the blacksmith named Mogg in front of him, and it is only natural that he will help him make a weapon. Why would Ilson be so indignant?
"Don't you know the rules of Master Mogg? It doesn't matter how long in advance you booked. Every day he forges something. Only for those who are at the front of the line! You didn't come here sooner, but now you're going to squeeze ahead of us? No way! β
Elson screamed loudly, even attracting the attention of many people around him. But Dunis looked at Ilson's appearance, but he sneered and didn't care at all.
"You're right, but Master Mogg doesn't care who's in front. I believe, you and the guy behind you. You don't mind letting me be the first to pick up a work by Master Mogg, right? I'll tell you the truth, I've been staring at this piece of metal for days, and I know that Master Mogg has put a lot of work into it. This weapon, I am bound to get! Just wait a few more days...... If you wake up early every day, you'll always be lucky, right? β
Dunis laughed arrogantly, and Ji Ran finally understood a little. It turns out that this master of Mogg has a strange rule, and the finished product that is completed every day is only given to the person he agrees to build for him and is the first in line...... Even if I promised to build something for you a year ago. But you come every day when it's almost dark, always at the back of the line. You don't want to get anything that Master Mogg has built in that lifetime......
Moreover, the metal in front of him, this Mogg master must have been working for a long time - at least for a few days. A piece of metal that has put so much effort into casting something must be the best, right? It's no wonder that Nadunis would rather risk other people's accusations to grab the first place today.
Because that piece of metal seems to be about to be turned into a weapon.
But Ji Ran looked at the metallic gaze, but he frowned a little. After looking at it for a while, he looked up at Ilson, who was still flushed and hesitant to fight Dunis.
"Give up this weapon, this piece of metal is flawed, and the quality of the weapon made will deteriorate."
Ilson is hesitating to fight Dunis...... If it was one-on-one, he was not afraid of Dunis, but there were a lot of bodyguards behind the other party...... And this is the dwarven ironforge fort, fighting in front of a blacksmith master's door, what if the master is angry and disqualified himself and others from obtaining weapons?
It took a lot of effort to save enough money, and then it took a lot of effort to get Master Mogg to build a weapon for him!
But after listening to Ji Ran's words, his eyes immediately widened in surprise: "Are you serious? β
Without waiting for Ji Ran to answer, Dunis, who also heard these words on the other side, jumped up: "Nonsense! You pariah! What do you know? Will your forging skills be stronger than those of the dwarves? Will it be stronger than Master Mogg? Master Mogg didn't even say anything wrong with this piece of metal, you dare to make a big fuss! People like you don't deserve the work of Master Mogg! Get out of here, or I'm going to make my ......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by another voice.
"How do you know?"
Master Mogg, who was hammering the piece of metal on the forge table, suddenly raised his head.
Master Mogg was as strong as the other dwarves, his muscles bulging, his long beard braided by him - probably because it was getting in the way of his work. He looked at Ji Ran with an incredulous expression.
"It's obvious. The metal was accidentally mixed with impurities at the beginning of the forging, but it is unknown why it was not discovered at the time. Then, during the forging process, the effects of impurities gradually appear...... Master, you probably wanted to separate this impurity from the forging process, but it seems that it didn't work out. Although the metal still works...... But the strength is much worse than before. β
Ji Ran pouted. Regarding the purity of this metal material, Ji Ran has a considerable say.
Moreover, through the scope and approximate amount of impurities incorporated into the metal, Ji Ran can also deduce the process...... After all, the knowledge he learned in the game was not an ornament.
Although he hardly ever lifted a hammer himself to forge a piece of metal......
Hearing his words, Master Mogg's eyes lit up.
"Then do you have a way to refine this impurity? Although this metal is not very valuable, this kind of mistake may happen again in the future. Now if there is a workaround. In the future, many losses will be reduced......"
Master Mogg is indeed a true master of craftsmanship. It's all about technology. And just now the quarrel between Dunis and Ilson. I'm afraid it didn't even get into his ears......
"If it was at the beginning, it would be very simple, master, you should have a way to do it yourself. But now...... It's a bit of a hassle. It cannot be re-melted, otherwise the strength of the metal will also be greatly reduced. The area of impurity distribution is not small, and it is impossible to completely separate these places...... That's too much of a loss. I think you can try adding another material that reacts with the previous impurities......"
In this way, Ji Ran discussed with Mogg about how to remove impurities, and left Dunis and Ilson aside. The latter looked surprised. This is normal...... Anyone who saw the guy who was squatting with him just now to watch the beautiful woman suddenly go up and grab the beautiful woman who was still talking about how big and full of each other's breasts just now would be so surprised - well, this metaphor is not very appropriate, but the general meaning is about the same.
But Dunis's face is a little exciting.
His face turned red at first, then white, and finally iron-blue...... It can be seen that he is already angry. But given the name of Master Mogg, he didn't dare to be arrogant.
Master Mogg pondered for a moment, "The method you said makes sense, but it's not very realistic. The nature of the impurities is not fully revealed, and the distribution is uneven. It is difficult to neutralize with other materials. And, also consider the nature of what is added later. Will it cause any damage to the metal...... This method is also not very desirable. β
Mogg's words made Na Dunis's face glow again-sometimes, you really don't know how these gentlemen's brains growβhe should have felt that Ji Ran's words just now were just blindfolded, and Master Mogg's words were denying his claims!
"You boy, don't point fingers at Master Mogg! Master Mogg is a master blacksmith, and he is famous in the entire Ironforge Castle! Who do you think you are? Can you discuss this kind of forging problem with Master Mogg? Don't be embarrassed here, let's get out of here! β
Dunis stood up again arrogantly, looking at Ji Ran with a provocative face.
Ji Ran didn't quite understand this guy anymore. It's not that he hasn't seen the children of the nobility, but whether it's Scott or Raywi, at least they are genuine...... They don't make a big deal out of things they don't understand...... Even if he looks down on Ji Ran, it's because of other reasons. And this Dunis actually dared to say such a layman's thing when he opened his mouth!
From the moment Ji Ran pointed out the defects of that piece of metal, Master Mogg thought that Ji Ran had the qualifications to discuss with him...... From the outside, it can be seen that a piece of metal has been mixed with impurities and caused considerable effects, which is something that an ignorant person can do?
So, Master Mogg was furious.
"Dunis! Don't think you can rely on your grandfather's relationship to mess around here! Do you understand what happened to this piece of metal? Do you understand what's wrong with it? Do you understand how to solve it? You don't understand anything! If you talk any more nonsense, just get me out of here! My weapons, will not give such nonsense! β
Dwarves are short-tempered...... That's right, this is also the consensus of the entire continent. It's clear that Dunis has now touched the mold of this Master Mogg.
ββ¦β¦ Master Mogg, I'm not talking nonsense. How old is that kid, and how can he compare to you in terms of blacksmithing? My grandfather and you have such a deep friendship, I won't lie to you. That kid is clearly a liar, and he talks nonsense to deceive your trust, and in the end he must have bad intentions! β
Dunis's face was blue and white at the words of Master Mogg, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to carry it to the end.
That kid is definitely a liar! I can't be bluffed by him! As long as he exposes the true face of that kid, Master Mogg will definitely be grateful to him, and then forge a superb weapon for himself!
Therefore, sometimes, it is unreasonable for a guy with a problem IQ who is caught in his own world...... (To be continued......)
