Chapter 294: News from the Dwarves
"Dear El... It's so meaty!"
Sean managed to dodge Elvis's snatch and tore open the envelope, pulling out the sheepskin inside, and began to read it aloud.
"Don't..."
Elvis wanted to continue to step forward to retrieve the letter, but was grabbed by Allen, and Elton also came up to help, and in the end he could only listen helplessly and resentfully as Sean fully exposed his emotional privacy.
“... El, although you are down-to-earth and do great things with Allen, I support you. It's just that I hope in your spare time you can remember that there is still a girl waiting for you to return to your alma mater in the far south. ”
Sean finally finished reading the long letter.
"El, you are so happy, with a woman like Kelly behind you, we are all dying of envy. ”
Elton sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"So do you know how many women are behind Allen's back?"
"How much?"
Elvis managed to divert Elton and Sean's attention from himself to Allen in just one sentence. ”
"Return my letter, and I will tell you. ”
"Here you go. ”
Elvis finally seized the opportunity, snatched the letter back from Sean's hand, and then turned around and ran back:
"Wait and see, I'll write it down. ”
Elvis still didn't forget to leave a cruel word before disappearing.
The day after settling Elton and Shaun, the servant came to report again, and a dwarf came outside asking to see him.
"Could it be that Master Thorne has returned?"
I heard that it was a dwarf, and the first thing that came to Alan's mind was Master Thorne, who had visited the forge in the nearby mountains before, and wanted to discuss the matter of forging weapons with Master Thorne, but learned that Master Thorne had not returned since he left a few years ago, and at present, another dwarf was in charge of forging in Thorne's place, and this new dwarf was not clear about Thorne's situation, so Alan could only temporarily put down the matter of forging weapons.
As a result, Alan came to the living room and saw a strange dwarf sitting inside, although he also had a long beard on his chin, but he looked much younger than Master Thorne.
"I'm Alan Kanter, who are you...?"
"I'm Thorne's son, Thor!"
The young dwarf stepped forward and introduced himself.
"How is the master doing?"
Alan hurriedly returned the salute, although he was often commensurate with the father of the dwarf in front of him, but the age of the dwarf in front of him may be older than his grandfather's grandfather.
"My father is very good! I came here on my father's orders. ”
When Saul said this, his expression suddenly became mysterious, and he first looked left and right, as if he was afraid that someone would hear his words, and after seeing that there was no one nearby, he came to Allen's side, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Allen's ear:
"Your father's stone has been tested, it is true, priceless, and my father has decided to abide by the agreement he made with you, and will spend the rest of his life building a few artifacts for you. ”
"Thank you, Master..."
Allen's facial muscles, who wanted to thank Thor, suddenly twitched a few times:
"Spend the rest of your life crafting weapons for me?"
Alan suddenly thought that the rest of Master Thorne's life would only be three or five hundred years, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for that day with his own lifespan.
"Yes. ”
"How long will it take to forge the weapon? ”
My father estimated that it would take at least 300 years. ”
The dwarf finally realized the crux of Allen's concern, and added:
"Your Excellency, rest assured, the dwarves keep their promises, and if you are no longer alive by then, we will hand over the weapons to your descendants. ”
Completely ignoring Alan's disappointed expression, Thor continued to speak the big truth that irritated him.
"Three hundred years? There is no what if, I will not be there by then. ”
Although he was mentally prepared, Alan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this very exaggerated number of time for human lifespan.
"Three hundred years is already fast, and it is necessary to ensure that the fire in the center of the earth is stable enough, otherwise everything may start all over again. ”
The young dwarves apparently thought that three hundred years was a very short time frame and was perfectly acceptable.
"I don't know much about forging, but I want to ask, if forging Heavenly Star Sand doesn't use the fire of the center, can other flames work?"
Alan asked with some reluctance.
"No, I can't. Only the fire of the center of the earth can melt the star sand, and even if there is a fire of the center of the earth, it is still not enough, because its flame is not pure enough, and it is easy to bring impurities in, so it takes hundreds of years of repeated forging to remove the impurity elements in it and maximize the performance of the weapon. ”
Thor patiently explained to Alan.
"What if I can provide a flame that is hotter than the fire in the center of the earth, and the purity is guaranteed?"
Alan suddenly thought of the giant flame gathering circle he had designed to refine the water of the Fountain of Life, the flames produced by the magic array were not only hot, but also pure, without any other impurities, and perhaps could be used to smelt metals and forge weapons.
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Of course not. ”
"If that were the case, the forging time could be drastically shortened, but I can't be sure how long it would be, but I would have to see the flame, and my father would have to be able to make an assessment. ”
The dwarf replied honestly.
"Then tell your father and let him come to Aogucheng, and I will discuss this matter with him in detail. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and convey your request to my father. ”
After communicating with Allen, Thor did not linger any longer, and immediately left Iron Pine Town and returned to the tribe deep in the mountains.
The day after Thor left, Eren convened a meeting attended not only by the militia, but also by the backbone of the Magic Elementary School and Isa.
At the meeting, Allen focused on two tasks, the first of which was to transfer the refugees scattered around Capra Pass to the vicinity of Iron Pine Town as soon as possible, so that even if the wolf cavalry of the orcs went south to "hunt for autumn" , the militia is also better defensive, but this work is not something that can be completed overnight, Allen's plan is to complete it within a year, and the second thing is to let the militia do the patrol work near Iron Pine Town, and Alan wants to establish contact with the army stationed in Capra Pass through Reinhardt's contacts in Iron Pine Town, if the garrison of Capra Pass is directed to the military situation of the orcs, it is necessary to report the militia in time, and the militia will try its best to cooperate with the actions of the Yus military.
After the meeting, Alan immediately started the transfer of refugee gathering points, and the first thing to solve in the transfer of refugees is the problem of funds, he ran to the town mayor Aple to coerce and lure, got 20,000 gold coins of refugee relief, and then called Kevin over and blackmailed him. With sufficient funds in place to start the evacuation of refugees, Mayor Aple chose several areas near the town of Tiesong to begin leveling land and building houses.
