Chapter 6 Red Gold and Copper

"Brother." Colonos looked up and saw Koya walking in with two stones, he put down what he was holding and asked, "What's the matter?" Koya raised his eyebrows and grinned, "I found a baby, guess what." "It's not going to be these two stones in your hand?????" That's right! They're philosopher's stones. Chronos was interested: "Oh? This stone is all on the mountain to the west, is there anything special about it except that there are some golden crystals inside? As soon as Koya heard him ask, his whole body became energetic: "Of course you don't know, there is gold in this stone." "Don't you have a lot of these golden crystals there, why do you still think it's gold, are you okay?" "Heck, I'm not saying that gold crystals are gold, and gold only appears after this stone has been burned." "I also suspected that it contained gold before, and I used the fire that melted the heavenly stones and didn't burn the gold, so why did you burn it." "I don't believe it for yourself, huh!" As he spoke, Koya angrily shoved two stones into Colonos' hands. Colonos took two stones and looked closely, and there was something like gold: "Sure enough, there is, but the gold will always be yellow on the outside, and this feeling will change like the celestial stone, rusty, silver and celestial stone are both white, but they are not the same, this kind of thing is very similar to gold, but if you look closely, its color seems to be darker than gold." "That's good stuff, too, huh!" Koya was a little unhappy with his statement. Colonos hurriedly said: "Of course I know this is a good thing, I just said that it is not gold, but it means much more to us than gold, gold and silver are too little, can only be made into ornaments, or dagger spear tips, if you want to forge a sword, it is naturally possible, but that requires a lot of materials, it is too unrealistic to provide such a weapon for the entire tribe, and there are many such materials, as long as we get it out of these stones, then we can make a lot of weapons like swords, and we can also make armor, It's so much better than leather armor. Listening to his words, Koya also thought of the good words of this material: "Then we can take revenge quickly." "Yes, we will be able to get revenge soon." Colonos' eyes flashed with determination, and he hugged Koya and kissed him on the head. "Good sister, you're amazing." Koya lowered her head and leaned against his chest, hugging him tightly, finally able to take revenge.

Early the next morning, Colonos sent some men carrying baskets to the mountains to the west to carry the stones, which was a painful task for the winged people, because the wings were to be pressed under the baskets, and Colonos and Koya were trying to figure out how to extract the material from the stones. After a detailed understanding, Colonos concluded: "This kind of stone will not come out of burning this material directly, it must be smoldering, and the temperature must be high enough, of course the furnace used to extract this material must be larger, this shape must be like the stove we use, it must be higher than it, there is no pot on it, then the upper Burma mouth will be smaller, and I will use a bellows when forging the heavenly stone, and this will also be used." Hearing this, Koya thought it was reasonable, and called a few men to the tribe to build the first furnace in their history to refine the metal. They were in full swing, but Colonos was a little abnormal, he kept frowning, and soon someone noticed that the steady-looking elder was concerned: "Chief, what's wrong with you?" Chronos waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, Carter, you and Sadenus (the fierce elder in chapter 1) will do it first, I'll go get some rest." Without waiting for his response, he walked directly to a large house, the walls of the house were made of stones, and there were many human skulls inlaid on it, only the face remained, and the back had been cut off, and the roof was made of wood and covered with tiles. Walking into this house, there is a loess platform with smooth steps, and many small items are placed on the platform, each of which has some logo engraved on it. He walked to the back of the earthen platform, and there were two tables behind it, on which were jade carved lamp bowls, and next to it was a large altar-shaped lamp carved from dense stone that was still burning, "Ahem! cough cough cough ?????" He coughed a few times, picked up a lamp bowl, lit it, walked over to a hide, and reached out to lift it, which was a plank with a hole in the ground underneath. Koronos went into the cave and lit the two lamps in the cave, there was not much in the cave, only a chair and a table, and there were some special stones on the ground, including meteorites, gems, jade, magnets, etc.

Colonos sat down in his chair, thinking back on all these years, since he swallowed the so-called Celestial Spirit Blood that he didn't know what it was, he felt something was wrong with his body from time to time, and it became more and more obvious in the past two years. "Ahem, ahem, ahem????? cough cough. Colonos covered his mouth with his hand, and after coughing, he looked at the palm of his hand, there were some blood spots, he put his hands on both sides, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and rested. When he woke up, he didn't feel like anything was wrong, and he didn't think about asking Alpata to treat him, and he didn't think that Alpata would know what was going on with him. When he came out, he saw that the stove had been laid, the fire had been lit, the stove was half dry, and when the stove was all dry, he could start the experiment, and there was no shortage of firewood, charcoal, and stones on the ground, and Koya was supervising several men to smash these stones. Colonos walked over, and when Koya saw him coming, he immediately came over and grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, I heard Carter say that you are not feeling well, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to check out Alpate? Koya's face was full of worry. Colonos said: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, just rest." "Oh, then you need to rest more." Koya still looked worried.

Finally, the stove was dry, they started working, the fire was already there, and they continued to fill the stove with wood, and filled the furnace with crushed stone and charcoal, and some people kept blowing air into it with bellows. It was time for dinner in the evening, and the food was ready, but many people were reluctant to leave here, and there was no table here, so they could only take some large whole pieces of food for them, and the leaders and elders helped them carry the soup bowls, and the others had to eat them dry. It had been a long time since the meal had been eaten well, and seeing that it was getting dark, and the temperature in the furnace had just risen, Colonos couldn't wait at this time, he walked to the stove and stared at the fire in the furnace. His eyes were staring like this, and he thought to himself, "If only the temperature of this fire could be higher." Slowly, the people around felt that the temperature was dropping, and someone said to the people on the side: "Hey, do you feel that it is colder than just now?" The man replied, "Yes, why is the weather so strange?" While they were talking, they did not notice that the fire in the furnace was hotter than before, and was getting stronger when the temperature dropped. The temperature is getting colder and colder, and some people even hug their shoulders and touch their arms with their hands.

Suddenly, the fire in the stove became fierce and very bright, and it was then that everyone realized that something was wrong, and Colonus had been standing there and attracted everyone's attention. "Brother! What are you doing? Is this really going on? Koya shouted at him, her eyes full of worry, but she didn't dare to touch him. By this time, the temperature in the furnace had almost stopped rising further, and the mouth of the furnace slowly flowed out of the mouth of the furnace with a hot magma-like liquid, flowing out more and more, from one finger wide to two fingers wide, into a long pit on the ground. "Poof! cough cough ?????" Colonos coughed a lot after squirting a mouthful of blood, and his feet were a little unsteady. Koya hurriedly went up and hugged him to prevent him from falling, "Brother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." His voice was a little sober, and tears flowed out. Colonos didn't answer, just said loudly, "Take it." Sadenus glanced at him, took a basin of water that had been placed beside him, and poured it into the pit, then took a bone shovel and picked out the metal, and pulled it in front of Colonus. Ryan, bring me the sword. When Rien heard this, he quickly ran back to get his sword, and when he came back, Colonos took the sword, and motioned for Koya to let go of him, and he raised his sword and slashed, and the metal broke in response, and here he was the only one who could cut the metal without hurting the sword. The section was smooth and turned orange-red metal, and Colonos said: "Good, good! It's called red gold. With that, he fainted.
