111. The First Candle Castle Conference
The dwarves are creatures of Ori, the god of craftsmen and the master of matter, and are the children adopted by Ijuruvida. They learned unrivalled craftsmanship at the side of Aoli. From weapons and armor to jewelry and necklaces, there's nothing they can't make.
With the advice of master craftsmen, the silk spat out by the Great Spider, now known as the Spider Demon, could be spun into cloth by women and used to make the cloaks of the Candlekeep warriors. This silk cloth will not stain dirt, white as snow, light as down, windproof and warm, and very suitable for wearing in the Northland.
The skin of the spider demon, depending on the part, can be used to make leather armor, which is suitable for light infantry, rangers, and scouts. Because of the high-level aura contained in it, it can make wild animals avoid it, and at the same time, it is not affected by low-level illusions.
……
……
The dwarves' enthusiasm for recovering Candle Keep far exceeded Zheng Yi's estimates, and coupled with the relationship between the creator's eldest sister-in-law, they were full of reverence for Lady Valda's Maia, Zheng Yi, so these stubborn, resilient, and loyal Kazadians repaired Candle Keep as their own fortress.
Baron Polson took the initiative and led the knights to sweep away the small group of orcs heading south, taking on long patrols to ensure that the dwarven convoys were not attacked.
On the ground floor of the Candle Castle, the deepest part of the Candle Castle, a hall that occupies a quarter of an arc is half completed.
The round table made of beech wood is enough for nine delegates to sit very spaciously.
The dwarves originally set up a tall throne behind the round table, which was a special seat for Zheng Yi, but Zheng Yi declined. He was neither willing to lead the Council of Nine, nor did he have no intention of manipulating behind the scenes.
Oil torches burn on the freshly cleaned bluestone walls.
The oil is produced from ore extracts, not from paleontological deposits. When burning, there is no smoke and burning, but there is a fresh fragrance.
Sitting in front of the door at the round table, Madeley was the chief delegate of the first Parliament, responsible for forming the Parliament, convening meetings, and reviewing the qualifications of the delegates.
Zheng Yi sat beside him.
Madoorie says:
"The craftsmen are already asking Olli how to deal with the spider's brain, heart, and eyeballs. They obviously have extraordinary powers, but we don't know how to use them. ”
"Olli will teach you alchemy." Zheng Yi said perfunctorily.
Madoli did not doubt that Olli never hid his secrets. He continued:
"Many of the weapons in the spider's mouth have been corroded, twisted, and some have been broken, but we have enough materials to fix them. Truth be told, these weapons are comparable to the masterpieces of the Kazad masters, but the magic is terrible. If you had used a weapon we had crafted, you would have been able to pierce the spider's mouth. ”
Irwen sat across from Maddory, the seat of the elves, and chuckled softly:
"Maia's baby is being looked down upon."
Zheng Yi tapped lightly on the table: "I need a lot of equipment to fight evil, as much as the ones I lost. I'll pay enough. ”
"Fair as you are, of course you will." Madeoli never mentioned the discount, and said with some embarrassment on her face: "As for your car, there is nothing we can do...... Or, is it okay to change the windshield? ”
Zheng Yi covered his face: "I'll deal with it myself." ”
The chocobo, after a "devotion leap" of madness, broke the windshield and part of the powertrain. Now it can't even run at 60 kilometers per hour, there is always a sputum snoring sound in the engine, and even the exhaust pipe, which had no sense of existence before, has begun to inject fuel wires.
Zheng Yi was really reluctant to chocobos, but the dwarven craftsmen couldn't even open the hood, so it seemed that they had to take it back to the wasteland desert to repair it.
"Well, it's a shame about the ride, but we've created 'Tears of the Starlight Lady' perfectly." Maderies raised her voice.
- Tears? What the heck?
Zheng Yi wondered, "Why are it Ms. Valda's tears?" She was so happy. ”
Madeuri was embarrassed and even stammered.
Polson, who was sitting diagonally opposite Zheng Yi, chuckled, "Probably because the lady laughed out of tears." ”
Madoori exasperated, "Shut up, boy! ”
Zheng Yi said: "Don't care what it's called, show me." ”
Madoori took out a silk brocade bag from her pocket and pushed it in front of Zheng Yi: "We have made a necklace out of Mithril, made a pendant of 'tears' in the form of a border, and attached three constant spells to it: Never Wear, Resist Corrosion, and Evil Plague. ”
Zheng Yi took out the necklace, it was indeed his egg blue diamond, and there was no imitation. The dwarves' craftsmanship is indeed beautiful, and the Mithril chain is uniform, but it is a bit thick...... This reminded Zheng Yi of the bigwigs who wore gold dog chains in his hometown. But you can't blame the dwarves, blue diamonds the size of eggs don't look good with thin chains.
"It never wears out, it is not corroded by acid and alkali venom, and if the wicked dare to touch it, it will be burned by the 'evil plague'!" Madoori rose to the heights: "It belongs to you, the great guardian of the Candlekeep, the guardian of justice. ”
"Thank you, I'm satisfied." Zheng Yi directly put "tears" on his neck, which looked quite a match for Mithril chain mail.
"What else do you need to command?" Madeoli Road.
Zheng Yi asked Kalmon and Stone to help move the chocobo's side box in.
Kalmon was nominated by Zheng Yi as a representative of the Free Folk and was also eligible to attend the meeting.
The side box was quickly placed on the table, the lid opened, and Carmont took out a gold brick in both hands and placed it in front of everyone, then a second gold brick, and a third...... Twelve pieces were taken out all the way and built into a pyramid, or a tower of gold.
Baron Polson's eyes were about to pop out.
Madery was very calm: "It's just gold, not brass." ”
The people of Qazad consider brass to be the most perfect metal in the world, far surpassing gold.
Baron Polson hurriedly said: "We can make a large trading plan, and you will exchange gold for our brass, at a price of one to two." ”
Madori gave him a roll of the eye. The fact that the Qazards revered brass does not mean that they did not know the value of gold.
Zheng Yi said: "The construction of Candle Castle, as well as the recruitment, training, and equipping of Candle Castle warriors in the later period, all require a large amount of money. This is my little heart to donate to a just cause. ”
Everyone looked at Zheng Yi in surprise.
Zheng Yi had no waves in his heart, and said the truth:
"This gold is not as good as a bucket of water to me."
Baron Polson withstood the violent impact of values and subconsciously tugged at his mustache.
Irwen also has a new understanding of Maia's moral heights, and even elves are greedy for beautiful works of art.
Stone is no longer only impressed by Zheng Yi's powerful power, but also admits that this Maia really regards fame and fortune as a floating cloud, and only has justice and kindness in his heart.
Carmont was numb, and the only thing he was thankful for was that Puff wasn't here.
