Chapter 46: The Pillar Hall
There are at least two implications to this question. The first layer is "Star soldiers are so wasted under normalcy?"
Another meaning is to ask, "The star envoy can only guard the gate?"
The companions who had entered the camp were noticeably more restrained than they had been outside, and they only made a silent gesture to the envoy and stopped talking.
Ahead, there was already the sound of thumping heavy objects repeatedly beating, just like the rousing drumbeats on the battlefield.
The barbarian with the beast bone token had already begun to take off his thick fur coat and leather pants, and hung them on a stake trimmed from a tree branch next to him.
The star envoy from the Sangar tribe in the lower reaches of the Lena River was stunned to see what looked like a large wooded stake, about two or three people high, and all kinds of fur hats, leather coats, and leather trousers hung on it, and long boots under the stake. This scene is obviously beyond his understanding of the birthplace of the mysterious Titan Gold.
The beast bone token turned around and made a gesture, signaling the star envoy to do so, and the latter quickly took off his clothes, pants and boots, and hung them on the idle branches, wearing only a sweatshirt, a calf nose pants, and a pair of light thin-soled cotton shoes. When the clothes were cooler than in summer, the star envoy realized that a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead....... It's hot sweating!
Two barbarians dressed in "summer clothes" walked through the wooden stakes of the forest and came to a huge palace. When you come here, it doesn't feel like you're in the middle of the snow at all, but you have the illusion that summer is coming. In fact, the snow has basically disappeared since the stake forest, and it is estimated that all of it has turned into snow water and melted into the frozen soil paved with stone slats.
In front of the two barbarians, this is a hall with a difference, and it can even be said that it is a majestic hall with large pillars, about 300 feet wide and about 100 feet deep; in the hall there are hundreds of stone pillars tens or hundreds of feet high, and only the coarsest stone pillars can accommodate about thirty or forty people standing on the crown.
Such dense thick pillars make people feel as if they have entered a primeval forest, and the moonlight gradually dims after passing through the beams and column heads, and between the stone pillars are placed huge braziers, which are burned with the grease of unknown beasts, the light is extremely bright, the smoke is very little, mixed with a faint strange aroma. As you walk, you can even feel that the pillar stones above your head seem to be looking down in the shadows, and under this atmosphere of light, you can't help but feel a sense of awe in your heart.
However, these braziers are not actually a source of heat, but only serve as a source of lighting.
The upright heat source should be the dozens of sledgehammers in the central area of the column hall!
These sledgehammers are the common star soldier style of the barbarians, but they are attached to the hammer head with colorful Ambilight, like the ethereal "water cloud sleeves of the gods" in the night sky of the extreme north. This scene is actually the embodiment of the intricate ornaments on the star hammer after being fully stimulated, with all kinds of incredible abilities!
The sound of thumping thump was naturally clearer and clearer at this time, not like the sound of metal colliding in the blacksmith shop, but a little dull.
The beast bone token and the star envoy saw that there were already some barbarians with four totem tattoos on the periphery of the central area, all of them were watching quietly and attentively, and occasionally one or two barbarians stepped forward and took a half step before they were stopped by those shirtless and sweaty barbarians, and directly pushed them back to warn.
The two barbarians who had just joined the onlookers went around and finally found a place with few people, and then squeezed in, and those barbarians could only stare coldly to express their dissatisfaction, and no one dared to speak.
Up close, I can see it more clearly.
Those star hammers actually start from the "constellation" formed by the stars lit up by the arm, spread from the palm of the hand to the ornamentation of the hammer handle, and then light up the ornamentation of the star hammer one by one, and finally condense to the hammer head to form a "water cloud sleeve of the gods...... After that, it was smashed with a hammer!
And what the star hammer has repeatedly hammered with so much effort is ruile!
At this time, it can be found that the "mist steaming" on those shirtless and muscular men is not sweat, but unimaginably rich star power!
As soon as the hammer went down, a small piece of rutile would be concave, and some colorful dewdrop-like things would splash out of the rutile, and then roll off the hammered pedestal, and drip into a circular stone trough below, sizzling softly, with a wisp of light smoke, and soon solidified.
When you look up from the circular stone trough, you will accidentally find that the pedestal that has been hammered thousands of times is neither stone nor gold, exuding a rare luster, but very similar to the characteristics of the legendary star stone.
And if you compare the rutiles with each other, you will see that they tend to get thinner and thinner, and the feeling is like a large piece of iron that has been forged repeatedly and turned into a bright silver sheet.
In this thinner and thinner process, the multicolored dewdrop-like stuff would roll down from the base into the stone trough without interruption, so that the solidified metal pieces could be seen piling higher and higher, like a winding ring of mountains.
Finally, when the "mountains" in one of the stone troughs were almost about to spread out, a piece of silver iron was cleverly rolled up from the base by a meteor hammer and held in the air.
Roar! Roar!
The "blacksmith" yelled excitedly, pounding his chest with his other hand.
However, no one would blame him at this time, but everyone present echoed his excitement, beating their chests and shouting in unison: "Huha, huha, huha!"
Then the "blacksmith" threw the silver tin sheet into a pool of thick, inky liquid, above which immediately rose a large mist, which churned like boiling water.
All the other "blacksmiths" pointed their sledgehammers at the finished "blacksmith" in high respect, and the latter bowed deeply with his right hand to his chest.
After this episode, the "blacksmiths" continued to swing their hammers hard, and the field returned to the monotonous "quiet" before.
At this moment, the beast bone token quietly tugged at the sleeve of the star envoy's companion, shook his head, and motioned for the latter to follow him.
After the beast bone token was pulled two or three times, the star envoy reluctantly squeezed out of the crowd, followed behind the former, and walked towards the "blacksmith" who had already taken away the star soldier.
The blacksmith apparently saw the two of them as well, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he hurriedly made a silent gesture, beckoned to them, and took the lead towards the outside of the pillar hall.
