Chapter 65: Journey to the Underground (3)
There was no liquid lava, and the fire pit looked more like the inside of a red-hot porcelain kiln, bright yellow in color, lined with the clearly visible twisted air,
Originally, it was Inke, a dwarven craftsman from the Stonehammer Clan, who was in charge of the fire pit, but now he was replaced by Ati, a female fire dwarf.
'The best way to tell the gender of a fire dwarf is to see which one has better pectoral muscles. It's a somewhat demeaning joke, but it's telling. Fire dwarves are dressed the same for both men and women, without shirts, and their faces are surrounded by flames, making it difficult for those with poor eyesight to identify who is who.
Atie is one of more than 3oo fire dwarves that Poofs brought with him from the fire elemental. Fire Dwarves are not a powerful race on the fire elemental plane, and it is common for them to be reduced to slavery due to war. Ati's Molten Clan was destroyed by the Fire Djinn and reduced to slavery.
And in order to obtain a pair of copper crystal burning beam energy wrist wheels built by Luo Ling himself, Poop brought back these fire dwarves as part of the reward, and the other part was to work for Luo Ling for 2 months.
Because of her outstanding performance, Ati was appointed by Luo Ling as the supervisor, responsible for leading her people to engage in smelting, forging, fire element cultivation and other affairs together.
"Master, according to the data, the first batch of Fire Elemental Warriors has all matured." Seeing Luo Ling coming, Ait, who was wearing a binding armor, took the initiative to greet him. The fire dwarves have a warm and unrestrained temperament, and there are not so many rules, and the members of the lowest level still talk how they should talk when they see the clan leader.
Luo Ling sighed, turned his head to Witton not far behind him, and said, "Let Darren come to see me, you can go down and rest." ”
With a respectful salute, Witton went down.
"Etiquette, messy etiquette. For the sake of cohesion and centripetal force, while allowing the existence of ethnic cultures, a unified standard must be taken out and enforced......"
Just slightly distracted, Luo Ling quickly returned to the present, he walked to a fire pit and cut close, observed for a while, and then raised his claw, a small light magic array appeared in the center of the claw, with the operation of this magic circle, the unique energy fluctuation effect and the fire pit, in the bullet shell-shaped hot pit, a golden fire magic array emerged from the bottom, and then slowly operated, the fire pit was like a machine that pulled off the electric switch, slowly stopped running, and the light in the pit went out. At this time, the interior is nothing more than semi-sulfide sandstone.
The principle of a fire pit is like charging a mobile phone battery holder, and the energy comes from magma. Unless it is an evolution, the Fire Elemental Warrior only needs to perform a complete 'Flame Preheat' in this way, and the rest of the time it can be replenished by absorbing Fire Elemental Energy Crystals through the Beam Energy Wrist Chakra, or where there is flame, it can also be replenished by ingesting natural sources.
What was taken out of the pit was nothing more than an egg-sized, round bead. Luo Ling took it in his hand very casually. This thing is like a scroll used by magicians and can be directly touched by even ordinary people when not enabled.
The perfected MC (Molten Core) no longer has a hollow shell like before, it looks like a glass marble, but if you look closely, it will be much more delicate, because there is a layer of mysterious magic runes wrapped in the inner circle, and you can still vaguely recognize the pattern texture engraved at the beginning. Further in, there is a very beautiful and flowing fire, it is flowing, rushing, burning, but it can't be released, like a flame in ice, and it is very good to use as a work of art.
"The wonderful story of how many heroes and legends in the world started from inadvertently touching a magical item......" The birth of his own design works, Luo Ling will always have a faint joy and a little reverie. From a magical point of view, this m is enough to be the half protagonist of the story, but what about IQ......
"My lord, you are the most evil being I have ever seen, there is no one." At this time, Poop came out of another fire pit and floated over.
Puff now plays the role of a technical advisor in the team, even if it can't withstand the temptation of the MC, and has already told Luo Ling all about his understanding of fire, Luo Ling still hired it without any hesitation, or rather, seduced it with a pair of copper fire crystal beam energy wrist chakras.
Theory can only be truly mastered after practice, and having such a Fire Element Elder appear to say that it is not only for Luo Ling himself, but also for Blacksmiths such as Obok and Ati who are engaged in forging and smelting.
In the Earth world, evil is a derogatory term, in the decaying areas of Amira, evil is a positive word, in more demonic areas, evil is a praise word, and in the popping mouth, evil is more of a common word with ironic sarcasm.
Luo Lingzhi smiled slightly at Poop's evaluation, he knew that Poop had some small grudges, for what Luo Ling had done on the small fire element, and for itself that it had not withstood the test of temptation.
Receiving a pair of wrist chakras from Aiti's hand, the copper streamer, the Mithril shining, the flame crystal bright, the dwarves have religious fanaticism and persistence in forging, the things they make are not as gorgeous and exquisite as the craftsmanship of the dark elves, but the items that pour enthusiasm and condense the painstaking efforts will naturally produce a unique charm, simple shape, smooth lines, and perfect structure...... From this magical item, you can see the dwarves' understanding and interpretation of beauty.
"Stand in the abyss and look up at the sky. The biggest difference between the intelligent beings on the soil and the real demons is that deep in their hearts, they still have this beautiful heart. "The beam energy wrist chakra turned into a distorted light in Luo Ling's claws and flowed into the MC, this program is a more laborious procedure in the hands of ordinary operators, because although the space folding technology is used in the MC, its essence is very different from the space ring. Once this wrist wheel is installed, there is a game that says that it is to bind items, when MBSP; The engineering magic array in Luo Ling's claws flashed again, and the MC was gently thrown out by him, drawing an arc in the air, and a mixture of blue, blue and white light appeared on its surface, before it landed, boom! With a light explosion, a fire element of the chubby image of O appeared. The difference is that the flame on this guy's body is not bright red, orange, golden, but blue-white, just like the flame color of the core part of the nozzle during cutting and welding, white on the inside and blue on the outside, which is excessively vivid and a little demonic.
As soon as this MC appeared, how strange it was that it didn't show it, but the irritability was first-class, as if it was the kind of fighting dog that was specially used for competition out of the cage, and the madness it showed was sometimes more frightening and shocking than the damage itself. It's the same with this thing, the tyrannical elemental giants after the contamination of the gods, compared to it, are all floating clouds. It is not the kind of hysterical pain that is manifested because of pain, it is purely to make everything that it does not like to see painful, and the things that the fire element does not like to see are everything that is not in a burning state, this instinctive obsession has been magnified many times, so that the first action of this fire element warrior after its birth is to rush towards Luo Ling, because the first thing it sees is Luo Ling.
The existence of complete madness has no tactical concept, everything has been destroyed at the core of the target, everything comes from instinctive action.
A very important word appears here, instinct. Ordinary fire element, but not as much instinct as this guy, it does not have many instinct skills but is very powerful and practical, as soon as it gets started, it is a double combo of great flames, it looks like a golden ball of fire the size of a softball with one hand, this is the maximum long-range attack action it can do within a distance of ten meters, after these two fire balls are thrown, it is already within reach of the target. The god horse waved his arm, the god horse grappled, nothing, and the originally fat and whirring fire hand under the pair of beam energy wrist chakra instantly turned into a level flame claw, and its proportional shape made Freddy, the protagonist of the Ghost Street series, immediately die of shame when he saw it, and his movements were so wild that even the finishing skills of koF rampage Yagami would be dull compared to it. This guy not only has a lit emotion, but also a crushing emotion, and its desire is to tear the target into burning pieces of the day, and it is comfortable.
Thundered! The fire cloud of the Great Flame Explosion was particularly full, a large piece with a diameter of more than ten meters, and then there was a small Qin Yun, and the fire element warrior appeared in this fire, tearing wildly, igniting wildly, although there was no mouth, anyone could feel that roaring anger from the physical performance of this fire element warrior.
Bang bang! Seeing that 'Luo Ling' was not completely destroyed, the fire elemental warrior smashed the floor of the body that had already fallen, and the flames spewed and dispersed like ripples, and the ground burned like a fire cake. Still unrelieved, he poured fire at the 'corpse' like a machine gun, and then continued to smash the floor......
Not only Ati, but many of the fire dwarves who worked nearby were dumbfounded and forgot to work. Compared to the fire element in their impression, she is simply a quiet and shy little girl, and as for the degree of strength, Poop doesn't dare to say that her firepower output per unit time is stronger than this guy, and this is still after getting the special lava core and beam energy wrist chakra. This is not a gap in skill and ability, but a gap in ideology, instinct, pure instinct in combat, the brain of the god horse, the brain is responsible for providing crazy hormones, and nothing else, this is where the guilt comes from, it feels that it should not tell Luo Ling the secret of fire, the most evil existence.
Luo Ling pointed with his claw finger on one side, and a magic light composed of runes shot into the body of the fire element warrior, and the fire element warrior immediately stopped his crazy behavior, and turned to look like he was anxious to urinate, holding back his anger in place, and the flames and sparks continued to gush out from the bottom of its drop-shaped shape, mixing with dust, forming a circle of spreading smoke rings, at this moment, this guy gave people the feeling of a fierce beast that was put on a chewing cage, irritable, but unable to vent.
Luo Ling then casually pointed to the rock wall behind the nearby magma moat, and the fire elemental warrior thought that the target pounced furiously, it was still the same set, a very random but extremely tightly connected attack, but this time its goal was to destroy the foundation of the entire cityhold......
Luo Ling let the Fire Elemental Warrior go crazy against the rock wall, waited for a short time, and then pointed at it from a distance, and the Fire Elemental Warrior came back with smoke and dust under his feet, constantly scanning back and forth with that ruby light, as if he wanted to keep all the non-combustible things firmly in his heart.
"The energy consumption per minute is more than 4 standard units, the total energy is 1oo, and the standard sustainable combat time is 2o minutes (the remaining energy is used for other consumption and recovery operations)......" Luo Ling calculated carefully in his heart, this is just wishful thinking, the specific battle also includes the defensive consumption when the enemy attacks, according to the saturation endurance in the case of equal strength, it will be reduced by nearly half, that is to say, these crazy fire element warriors are basically ten minute warriors.
Luo Ling turned his head and asked Ati, "What do you think of these fire guards?" ”
"If there is no proper method of restraint, against a hundred fire guards, at least the lives of 23,000 elite warriors will be filled. The premise is that there is the protection of magic and magic armor and shields. "Ati imagined a hundred crazy fire guards forming a single or double wave array, pouring fire frantically while making a rampage charge, their semi-floating movement was like walking flat on all terrain without obstacles, they were not too fast, but they did not lack long-range strike ability, and in melee combat it was even more terrifying, the kind of floor-smashing attacks and claw attacks would form a flaming realm......
As a result, I listened to Luo Ling and said: "These fire guards should be able to make do with it in a short time, but they are still lacking in dealing with guarded enemies." This kind of fire guard requires a dedicated team to operate the supply, and you molten clan will be responsible for it. Remember, I need more specific data,"
Glancing at the melting pit that had been cut out of the rock wall behind the moat, Attie was sweating, if she had anything like that. "Improvised? It is equivalent to a hundred condensed fire elemental elders, strong firepower pouring ability, and the Great Flame Explosion spell only takes one-fifth of the ordinary casting degree, and the fire shuttle spray ratio is equivalent to the incendiary arrows shot by heavy crossbows, melting flame claws and fire rings spread, and it has a contaminated ignition effect on itself, and will not retreat or fear...... These things are simply the nightmare of all life that needs to face it. Is the outcome evaluation just improvised? So what is not improvised? ”
On the other hand, Atie couldn't help but be excited about mastering such a powerful existence. Aside from the fire attributes, the ordinary existence of the fire dwarves is only the level of a first-order professional, at most it is in the early second order, and it is rare to be in the third order, this fire guard is equivalent to an incomplete fourth order, it is like giving a pilot with only a pistol a fighter with complete firepower. "Master, my people and I will definitely do our best to complete the task you have given us." Ati said, there was obviously a hint of awe in his demeanor.
Luo Ling nodded, waved back Ati, and asked her to lead someone to harvest the MC and complete the follow-up work, which was all handed over to them, and Luo Ling also disguised the operation process just now, and Ati and other craftsmen only need to use special magic tools to complete the process.
Luo Ling walked towards the castle, puffed aside to take the words that Ati didn't ask, and asked, "Lord Lord, what kind of guards do you think meets your needs?" ”
Luo Ling said: "The magma fusion elemental elder has the burning ability of fire, the physical attack ability of rock, and the form that can change into sap. Replacing the rock with a metal solution, then improving the indexes, and then improving the manufacturing process is almost the first stage of my goal. ”
Poop feels that he has lived for so many years, and his imagination and creativity are simply too big compared to the person in front of him. The scorching metal that can switch between solid and liquid states, and the attributes of the fire elemental, imagine that madness...... "My lord, I think the reason for your appearance is to bring true destruction to Ameira. I believe that in a few years, Amira will be a burning dead place. ”
Luo Ling had already seen the oncoming Darren, and said to the pop, "Purify or destroy, this is my mission. ”
"Master." Darren touched his chest with one hand, saluted Luo Ling, and then greeted pop.
"I've heard from Seken that the Self-Defense Forces are doing well in the Rock Barrier Counterattack. I allowed an hour of training time from my working hours to perpetuate the traditions of the militia. ”
"Thank you for the grace of your master, bask in your light, and your servant will surely become the most powerful force in the Dark Lands."
"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Luo Ling said again: "How is the field reclamation work going? ”
"Back to the owner, the final topdressing work is underway."
Luo Ling nodded. "When you're done, report back to me. Are Heck and the Bugtraps back? ”
There are two types of fertilizers, one is bone meal dust from the bones of living organisms, and the other is plant ash, which is hoarded and used for planting due to the high frequency of crops produced during the Taracin period. In the dark region, in this corroded world, the power of pests and diseases is not trivial, and the reprocessed plant ash with special formations can effectively solve the problem of pests and diseases, and can improve the drought resistance of crops.
Heck and his party came back twelve hours ago, and they had caught more than a hundred Gass beetles, and even the potion had been made, waiting for Luo Ling to test it.
"I thought it was the insect wing membrane that was worn like a crystal silk suit, but it turned out to be drinking, and my mind was still very limited by the earth's thinking."
Luo Ling met Heck in the castle's underground alchemy laboratory. The Fatre was able to succeed in Mutland's nest for a few years without being killed, one because of the secret crypt, and the other because of Heck's potion.
Heck's laboratory was quite shabby, no different from a garbage store in Luo Ling's eyes, and it was easy to associate it with the experimental instrument, then the mother machine that made the instrument, and then the missing Zhou Yu. It's a small pity, and I don't know when the next similar opportunity will appear.
Heck gave Luo Ling a crystal test tube, which Darren had ordered someone to help make with the help of rock crystal technology not long ago, and Heck was dying of joy for it. The transparent test tube contains a green liquid, according to Heck's words, after drinking, it can make the creature have resinous skin for a certain period of time, and the process of its production is that the sweat gland secretion becomes special, and then there is such a layer of lipid film, and there is also a subsidiary role in maintaining the skin.
"Can it cure the effect permanently?"
"Maybe making a special organ and then transplanting it will do that." Heck replied after thinking about it.
Luo Ling somewhat understood, this kind of thing is a kind of 'element', and life generally does not produce on its own, and it is pulled down when it is used up.
In the earth world, alchemy is the idea and ancestor of a chemical philosophy in the Middle Ages, and it is the prototype of chemistry. However, in the world of high magic, the scope is much wider and more magical. It's a bit of a deformed science. Luo Ling doesn't know alchemy, but it doesn't matter, with Luo Ling's current situation, it is very fast and convenient to learn certain knowledge.
"Open your heart." As he spoke, Luo Ling put a claw finger on Heck's forehead.
According to what Luo Ling said, Heck felt that he had entered a world of light like a warm ocean, his whole body was wrapped in warm water, indescribably comfortable, and at the same time, his thinking was indescribably clear, and all the knowledge related to alchemy was in the void of light... Listing and being organized, classified, inducted, and correlated is very helpful for Heck's professional skills, and even in this sorting process, new ideas and new perceptions have been constantly emerging, replacing the old ones, and they are also grouped into a system. When it was all over, Heck 'woke up'.
Luo Ling handed the potion back to Heck, turned around and walked out with a thoughtful expression, and when he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Who is the greatest alchemist you know who is still alive?" ”
"My teacher Antonidas, Sick of the kingdom of Moncarlo, blurted out.
"Well, he has a nice apprentice who keeps your keen sense of alchemy and pioneering way of thinking. Especially the latter. Also, you'll be rewarded. When the last words sounded, Luo Ling was already more than ten meters away.
Busy, very busy, always having something to deal with personally. But Luo Ling likes this feeling of fulfillment.
Heading to the room that belonged to him, Luo Ling wanted to use the existing materials in his hand to make a second Starlight Crystal. This is twice as powerful as the one left in the cave of the Qin people. Able to take full care of the land he ordered Darren to reclaim. Grow respiratory bacteria and make deep respirators.
"Brothers Magic Stone, show your energy, the army of those gray dwarf worm cubs will arrive soon, and when the time comes, they will only get death!"
Roar! Roar! The stone dwarves habitually waved their arms and roared in response to Eskar's call.
This is a mountain rock fortress, which is being further strengthened and strengthened, and the main procedures include the placement and activation of the anti-collapse magic array, the improvement of the urn-type city defense design, and the placement of a series of pits and thorn cones.
"Speed up and work hard to carry!" The stone hammer dwarves urged the rough slaves, and the pieces of mined rocks were stuffed into the magic energy crusher, and processed into various grades of sand and dust, rock crystal civilization, naturally inseparable from rocks, although sand and soil are also OK, but it is best to be rocks, and the better the quality of the rocks, the higher the bonus to the items produced, like the stone of Longkong Mountain, it is naturally the best choice.
"Members of the Self-Defense Forces, step forward and receive tower shields in turn." The dwarf Ibek shouted in a thick voice.
The tower shield is similar to Earth's riot shield, except that the upper 3ocm wide strip is transparent, and there is a jam groove on the right side. The Self-Defense Forces do not have crystal steel armor, so they use this rock iron tower shield that also has energy diffusion properties to defend.
"Push it a little bit, push it a little more!" One of the big goblins' lieutenant ordered.
Hey! Hey! Two bear goblins and two minotaurs shouted to carry the big guy that had just been assembled and didn't even have wheels or anything to the designated location.
The lava cart, which is a weapon created by Orbuck and his team, shoots lava packs that act like lava bombs during a volcanic eruption.
"Target 33, elevation 32, distance 15oo meters, test launch!"
Boom! A stone projectile equivalent to a lava pack is fired. A few seconds later, there was a thud on the ground.
"Error Correction ......"
The units of measurement are now unified, all according to the earth, and those who can use the stone wheels are dwarven technicians. The Rock Bomb Lava Mixing Pool is located not far behind the stone cart, and there are fire dwarves who complete the crafting and storage of rock projectiles and lava packs.
"Pull it up, pull the gate a little higher!"
At the entrance to another narrow passage, a huge rock iron gate was twisted up by a winch. This was set up by learning the lesson of Tarazin's rapid penetration by high-level assault troops. The natural barrier here is very powerful, the semi-circular platform, the entrance is in the lowland below, more than half the size of a basketball court, more than five meters high, condescending, and several hanging towers are also built on the surrounding stone walls, semi-circular firepower, without many people, you can build a strong defensive position......
The Mutland vault was filled with the hectic and slightly oppressive atmosphere of the eve of the great war, and the only question was whether it would be a few hours or a few days. Many of the minions hoped that it would be a few hours later, for in a few days the ranks might have been departed, and they now had more desire for war than fear.
Because of the abundant energy reserves, the preparation for war was efficient and comprehensive. However, even so, the collection of magical energy did not stop. Especially fire and water. One for combat, one for life, and the consumption is all the time, so it is also the focus of collection.
In Luo Ling's eyes, the world of Amira is like a fried sandwich rice ball, with different levels and different changes. Compared with the shallow and dark layers, the deep and extremely dark layers are composed of the interspersed parts. At this level, the power of the laws of the world or the laws of the planet is very strong, the material is stable, the magic energy is scarce, and it is almost impossible to open the portal, and although there are many cave vaults in the dark area, if it is said that it is accessible in all directions, it is definitely an illusion, in the deep dark layer and the extremely dark layer, if you want to move forward, you have to be honest as a pioneer many times.
It is for this reason that Luo Ling did not stop Darren from fiddling with the flame flow device and water flow system, and the future consumption cannot be estimated, and the more energy crystals, the better.
About eleven hours after preparations for the war were complete, the reconnaissance team led by Tau sent back a message that a large number of creatures were now approaching Mutran.
Most of Luo Ling's servants were sleeping, and the battle started in the sleepy eyes of many people.
