Chapter 20: A New Mission

Big Nose got the news of my return as soon as he could, but he's too busy right now. After I had checked through all of Paul's new magic items, Big Nose finally ran over out of breath.

"Yu, you're back. ”

"Uncle, it's hard work. "I really admire Big Nose's ability to put all the resources together in a short period of time, pacify the refugees, and organize such a huge team.

"There's a lot I have to report to you. "Big nose has always been my father's most reliable right hand, and I trust the people in front of me as much as I trust my loved ones.

"Haha, uncle rest first. Let's talk again. "After all, he is an old man in his 70s, and although he has some warrior foundation, the years have eroded his body again.

"There's no time, Paul hasn't made it clear to you a lot, come with me. As you can see, now I'm more and more confident in our future fights. ”

"Good. Let's go. ”

。。。。。。

The ogre cave, I've only been in it once before, and it was dirty and smelly at the time, and I didn't want to stay for a second longer. Now it has been cleaned up by the refugees led by Big Nose.

The Ogre Cave was a long corridor, and the big nose led me all the way down, and after a while I felt a warm wind blowing from ahead. After walking about two thousand meters, everything suddenly became clear, this is a naturally generated huge karst cave, enough to accommodate a city, and the fleeing Shu people live here for the time being. Everyone is doing the tasks assigned to them. It's like a giant machine, and each person is a small part. So that the huge machine is gradually perfected.

After a while, we crossed the inhabitant gathering place and came to a huge magic tower close to the mountain wall, and the gate of the magic tower was like the mouth of a monster that had been going on all along, emitting the light of hell.

Big Nose led the way into the Magic Tower, which was still a huge space, a secret gate that separated the inhabitants from a huge factory.

Busy blacksmiths of all sorts come into view, and sparks are flying everywhere. Seeing the arrival of Big Nose, the blacksmiths did not stop what they were doing, but just nodded kindly. The big nose also returned the salute one by one.

"I collected all the blacksmiths among the refugees, but these blacksmiths are not particularly good at crafting, and the forged weapons are not considered fine, but we found a hidden lava cave in this underground, and Paul and Cang'er designed a device to channel the earth fire from the lava to the blast furnace in front of us, which is hot enough to forge purer steel. ”

Walked through the huge weapons processing factory and came to the workshop of the big nose.

Big Nose pulled out a booklet and handed it to me.

"Yu, this is all our belongings. ”

I took the booklet and gasped.

"So much?"

Big Nose finally laughed happily: "I knew you would have this expression, because when I finished probing this attachment, I was also scared by the detection results, and my heart was a little unbearable." ”

The continuous wormholes beneath the cave contain a huge vein of iron ore that cannot be described as a rich mineral. Some workers can knock on the rock to extract a whole piece of fine iron. Iron ore is also rich in many types of associated ores. Cang'er predicted that as long as half of this iron ore could be mined, ten metal giants could be built.

"I did my research on the refugees, and when they learned that we were the Lion Banner, they were willing to contribute their strength to us. Young people are actively joining the army, and some of the crafts have been assigned to various locations by some cadres of the dark department. As the Gathering became more and more famous, many wandering mages and alchemists joined our side. Paul didn't have much time to manage them, so I invited Ms. Ganlu to form the Mage Guild to collect as many outstanding children as possible and raise them. “

Big Nose really thought far ahead: "Yes, we will face preparations for long-term combat in the future, as long as there are people, then we still have hope." “

"By the way, you've seen Paul's magic weapons. Would you like to see how they are made?"

"Of course. “

Big Nose led me into a secret room issued by the weapons processing factory, which contained only a huge alchemy furnace and two alchemists who were concentrating on the operation. One of the alchemists emitted a green glow that wrapped the freshly crafted spear and placed it into the massive alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace flashed with a fierce red light. Another alchemist took out a small packet of magic pattern powder made from various magic items and sprinkled it on the furnace in front of him, and the magic array on the furnace absorbed the magic pattern powder in the air like a giant whale absorbing water, and the red light gradually extinguished. The spear, which had been covered with demonic patterns, was forged.

"Science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces. In the past, every magic weapon required a long time of painstaking work by a magician to take shape, and this one took less than a quarter of an hour to enchant. I couldn't help but sigh.

"The indicators of such a mass-produced weapon will be much weaker than that made by the magician, and it can only be attached to one magical ability. Big Nose explained.

"That's enough, I'm looking forward to the effect of Uncle Tiger training that group of boys. War Field, Shouyi and Qi Soldiers. Let them not come back for the time being, and develop freely. Provide them with adequate weapon support. “

"Good. There is still a huge problem in the settlements, and with the increase in refugees, we no longer have enough food to survive until the next time the plant is ripe. After our exploration, in the deeper part of the Warcraft Forest, there is a volcano, and some fire ants have lived on the mountain for a long time, and I found them growing some fire mushrooms in their burrows. I once read the description of this plant in ancient books, its growth cycle is only 20 days, it is rich in nutrients, and it only needs decaying trees as nutrients to grow quickly. The tricky part is that it's heavily guarded by a swarm of fire ants. If we can get some spores of the mushrooms, we will be able to get out of this predicament. “

"Okay, I'll get this done as soon as possible. “
