Chapter 158: Enchanted Weapons
The honest patriarch Reji looked back at Liu Ci with a kind of "tears when he said it": "The head we live in is a rocky mountain, and we can't grow food. For hundreds of years, we learned to hunt for meat, wheat, salt, and necessary potions, which were exchanged for regular sales of weapons. Of course, because we can't walk openly under the blue sky, the price of the weapons we sell is very low, barely enough to meet the food and clothing of the people. ”
Liu Ci's heart moved, although she occasionally had discipline, she was not a good person who was indiscriminately kind. The dwarves are good at crafting weapons, and she has been short of equipment in her manor recently, so she can buy it in Emster City, but Liu Ci doesn't want anyone to find out about the reality of the weapons in the valley manor through this.
Perhaps at this point, she had some room for cooperation with the hermitage Klingara dwarves. Of course, the premise is that their forging skills are really passed down by the goblins.
"Patriarch Reggie, I originally intended to train on the snowfield, and since I can come to the nobles' retreat, maybe it is really the God of Light who is guiding. If the quality of the weapons you forge is passable, I am willing to buy a batch of weapons at the market price like a nobleman...... What do you think if you find it difficult to pay for gold, we can also exchange grain for livestock, salt, etc.? ”
"Oh, Your Excellency, your kindness and kindness are unexpected, and whether the weapon is to your liking or not, Klingara welcomes you."
Today's snow situation is particularly serious, and it is too difficult to transport food from Emstertcheng to the rocky barren mountain belt where the dwarves live, and Liu Ci's proposal is simply a big problem for the worried Regie patriarch.
Liu Ci saw that the patriarch was so excited that he stood up, and he was embarrassed to shake others, so he turned down the dinner proposed by Reggie, and expressed his willingness to follow Reggie to visit the dwarves' weapons shop first.
The place where Reggie took her was not the main street where Liu Ci was carried through by the soldiers, but a slightly remote place in the dungeon. Before he entered the small courtyard, Liu Ci heard the sound of tinkling and ringing.
A wave of heat hit, and Liu Ci, who was wearing a fur coat, sweated like rain again.
She couldn't help but secretly operate her spiritual power, and the wood spiritual power in her body was refreshing and refreshing for a week before Liu Ci calmed down from her heart.
The leader of Reggie quietly observed the magician beside her, and found that she had the initial irritability and quickly became calm, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the mage's methods.
Following Reggie into the courtyard, many shirtless dwarves were sweating and making weapons.
A row of bellows pulled to control the fire, and to Liu Ci's surprise, the fire they used to melt the metal was not coal, but earth fire!
"Have the Klingara people lived above the underground fire veins for hundreds of years?"
Isn't this an active volcano with your feet on it, and it erupted at some point?!
In the face of Liu Ci's incomprehension, the Regie patriarch explained with a smile, "We dwarves have lived underground for many years, and forging weapons requires underground fire veins, Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, we are very sensitive to all changes underground." ”
Also, birds are good at flying, fish often swim, and each race has its own natural ability, and she is indeed unfounded.
"Weapons forged with ground fire will be purer when refining raw materials, and we quench them with snow water, which can greatly improve the quality of weapons by alternating between the coldest and hottest."
The Leji patriarch explained while taking Liu Ci to visit the weapon workshop.
With advanced forging techniques and special raw materials, the dwarves can even snatch work from alchemists to create enchanted weapons, and the technology is certainly not as simple as Regie Patriarch said in a few words.
Liu Ci didn't come to steal the teacher, and she had no intention of asking.
When she saw the fire, her mind was no longer on buying weapons.
Liu Ci suddenly felt that she was very stupid, since the aura of the plants grown by the spring water would disappear when cooking, she had not tried to purify it for such a long time...... She doesn't just have one meal at a time, and slowly absorbing the aura in the food is a choice!
Because the Dan monk can produce the true fire of the dantian, and Liu Ci has never dabbled in alchemy, there is no unilateral party in her hand, she has never thought about this aspect.
Now it dawns on her, she seems to have wasted years?
When the leader of Reggie saw Liu Ci wandering out of the world, she took Liu Ci to another place when she didn't look at these ordinary weapons in front of her.
The place was unusually small, a simple small room, a gray-bearded dwarven blacksmith. The blood of the people in the room was boiling, and the old blacksmith was engrossed in striking a long sword that had not yet been formed.
Liu Ci's spirit was shocked, and every time the old blacksmith dropped the hammer, it was in accordance with a certain law. His striking pulled the properties of the raw materials of the unformed longsword under his hands, and attracted the extremely rich fire element around him into the sword.
"Enchanted weapons?"
Liu Ci was so sensitive to the natural elements that he immediately noticed something unusual.
Patriarch Reggie nodded, "Your Excellency, do you need such a weapon?" Because special ores are hard to find and forging skills are difficult, it will take a long time for our tribe to create an enchanted weapon......"
The dwarven patriarch looked embarrassed as he spoke, as if he was ashamed of the backwardness of his clan's skills.
Liu Ci is the one who paid to equip the rear ironclad cavalry, and secretly inhaled when he heard the words.
After being enslaved by humans, the dwarves have lost their freedom, creativity and enthusiasm, and most of them have become blacksmiths who can only build mortal soldiers. Enchanted items are now mostly made by arrogant alchemists, but are the Klingara dwarves really isolated from the world for too long, but still retain advanced forging techniques?
"No, most of what I need are ordinary weapons, and if the price is right, I don't object to buying a small number of enchanted weapons."
Liu Ci also wanted to give each of his subordinates a set of magical defense armor, and then hold an enchanted weapon, so that they would have the power to fight against the magician...... But she's afraid she won't be able to afford it.
Reggie saw that he had said that there were enchanted weapons in the tribe, and that there was no greed in the eyes of the magician in front of him, and he was completely relieved.
In fact, over the years, the Klingra dwarves have created a lot of enchanted weapons, and the benefits brought by the sale of each enchanted weapon are enough for the dwarven residents in the dungeon to eat for a long time.
But Leader Reggie doesn't have a safe place to sell these expensive enchanted weapons!
Ordinary weapons, they can be sold to the merchants of Emst, as long as the price is lower than the market price, no one will pursue the origin of the weapon. But the benefits of enchanted weapons were enough to bring disaster to the dungeon, and Patriarch Reggie never forgot the reason why his ancestors had traveled across most continents and migrated to the barren lands of the far west.
For freedom, for not to be enslaved...... Klingara dwarves can't reveal where they are, and they can't reveal that they know how to craft enchanted weapons.
No matter where Liu Ci came from, the dungeon has been exposed, and with the magician's perception of the elements, sooner or later, this unfathomable female mage in front of her will discover the true technology that the Krigra dwarves have been hiding.
There is no difference between passive discovery and active inform, and Regie Patriarch can be elected as the leader, so naturally he also has his advantages.
"If you wish, I can show you a few enchanted weapons first, and then negotiate a suitable price."
Patriarch Reggie's proposal Liu Ci was very tempting.
Of course, she didn't need any enchanted weapons, but the eighteen horsemen, including her two generals, Lydia and Arnold, were equipped with enchanted weapons, and their combat effectiveness would definitely increase significantly.
Patriarch Reggie then took Liu Ci back to his residence.
Along the way, the dwarves looked at Liu Ci with curious eyes, but they were very enthusiastic about Patriarch Reggie. The class system in the dwarves is very loose, they do not have the same hierarchical view of the rich and poor as human society, like the patriarch of Reggie, who is also the lord of a city and a great nobleman in human society, but in the Klingra dungeon, he is only elected, respected by the dwarves of the same race, leading and directing the lives of the dwarves, but he does not have much privilege.
This can be seen from the attitude of the dwarves towards the Reggie Patriarch, as well as the not-so-ornate residence of the Reggie Patriarch.
It's still that hall, and as soon as Patriarch Reggie gives the order, a few dwarves move out a few shelves.
Knives, swords, spears...... There are also some strange special weapons that Liu Ci doesn't know very well.
They are different in material and appearance, but the only thing they have in common is the restrained and powerful enchantment ability.
Liu Ci picked up a blue ring from the open wooden box. Start with the touch of Polar Ice, let go of your divine sense and enter it, and you can discover the amazing magic contained in it.
There is no trace of the magic array engraved at all, this is relying on the Klingra people's inheritance of the goblin's high god forging technique, the characteristics of the material are brought to the limit, so that it has the effect of being immune to a certain degree of magic attack, or breaking the magic defense!
This is an amazing forging technique in the era of cold weapons, and Liu Ci, the raw material of the ring, also recognized it, it is an extremely pure crystal stone.
"It is a ring made of crystal stone, which has a blessing effect on water mages when casting spells, and ordinary people can wear it, and it can also play a simple defensive effect." Patriarch Reggie took the initiative to explain.
Liu Ci just smiled at this, and carefully looked at the weapons that Reggie let people move, and she also had a preliminary intention in her heart.
"I plan to purchase a batch of well-made ordinary weapons from the nobles, including arrows, swords, shields, armor, etc., as for the enchanted weapons, I will choose a few for the time being."
Liu Ci selected three long swords, a bracelet, and a ring.
Patriarch Reggie thought for a moment and held out a finger. Liu Ci frowned slightly, will an honest dwarf also open his mouth.
Although the enchanted weapons are expensive, the value is that ordinary people can also use them with reduced effects, if the price is 10,000 gold coins, she might as well buy the magic items sold by the alchemist directly, and she can also take the opportunity to study the magic array engraved inside!
Seeing Liu Ci's superficial hesitation, Patriarch Lei Ji was also anxious.
"If you think 1,000 gold coins is too much, we can still negotiate the price......
Liu Ci almost raised his head and fell down when he heard this.
She was wrong, the dwarven patriarch didn't open his mouth widely, he didn't know the market price at all, right? One thousand gold coins, probably Kan Kan bought the raw materials for the enchanted weapon of her choice.
Therefore, the forging technique that he regarded as magical did not have the concept of "technical cost" at all in the consciousness of Patriarch Reggie.
is as undisciplined as Liu Ci, facing the middle-aged face who is working hard for the food of the clan, so he is careful to negotiate with her, and he is not too embarrassed to take advantage of this.
