Iron ore is really an ordinary material in this world, similar to copper ore, and even more than copper ore in terms of mineral reserves, the number of mines discovered, and the output, which is worthy of the name.

However, there is nothing in Langdon's territory for such supplies.

In fact, not only iron ore, but other common materials, especially in the Maas area, are also extremely scarce, otherwise it would not be called a barren land, and no one has occupied it for so long.

Although ordinary, but important, iron ore is such a material.

Although there are all kinds of strange materials in this world, and there are countless more processed products with various production skills, iron ore is still irreplaceable, not to mention the rest, whether in the upper world or the underground world, almost 80% of the standard weapons equipped by their troops are made of iron, and the remaining 20% of the materials used are not as good as iron.

Not only that, but the general household utensils of most forces, such as shovels, hoes, climbing plows, pots, shovels, kitchen knives...... And so on, and most of them are iron, and they don't use iron, because they don't have iron and can only be replaced by worse materials, such as the copper tools used in Langdon's land.

And it's not just these basic artifacts, even those silver, The powerhouses of gold, and even the vast majority of peak legendary powerhouses, use equipment, especially weapons, and most of the basic materials used are iron, and unlike the basic standard weapons, they often add various additives to their weapons to greatly improve the overall quality of the weapon, and obtain various strange effects, such as the crimson bauhinia used by Langdon, the basic material is iron, and at least 10 kinds of rare materials are added to it.

This shows how important iron ore is to a force.

For Langdon, iron ore is even more important, with the various production skills and recipes he has mastered, as long as there is a supply of iron ore, he can make a bunch of unique trading goods, and they are all specialties that only he can master.

This is also why this kind of material is related to the promotion of the territory to level 2, and the number of territory trading items is one of the remaining conditions that have not yet been completed, and the number of trading items required for this condition is also 5, and Langdon only has 2 kinds of products in his hands at this time, which are Baruberg potions and enchantment scrolls for physique enhancement, and the original food is also 1, however, after Langdon returned with thousands of civilians, the food was automatically removed from the list, which means that the current production of these lands in the territory can only meet the consumption of the territory itself, and there is no way to take it out as a trade item like before。

And now, with the production of iron ore, Langdon can easily meet the condition of the first barter quantity.

"Old Victor!" The voice came from the front hall of the blacksmith shop to the workshop behind, and the black dwarf old blacksmith, who was faithfully building a broad-bladed heavy sword according to the lord's orders, trembled, and with a clang, the already straight sword body was directly smashed and bent, and he saw that it was being refined.

However, the old blacksmith didn't care, he casually threw the big blacksmith's hammer and the scrap copper in his hand to the side, turned around and walked outside, and at the same time laughed and said: "Dear lord, being able to let you come in person must mean that something good is going to happen!"

It was Langdon who was speaking outside, and after briefly checking the quality of the iron ore, Langdon came directly to the blacksmith shop with all the iron ore.

"Of course, old Victor, when have I ever let you down?" Langdon smiled as he gestured to his side, and several of his men immediately brought in the iron ore in baskets, and then sent them to the warehouse under the guidance of the old blacksmith's stupid apprentice, leaving only one basket to carry directly into the workshop.

"Iron ore?" The old black dwarf looked at the things in the basket, was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a good thing, to be honest, I'm tired of smashing those coppers every day, and it's not interesting to lie on my stomach softly." ”

"Don't worry, a vein has been found in the territory, and it is a big vein, and the iron ore will be transported in an endless stream in the future. Langdon laughed, "Try your hand?"

"Okay, then I'll be ugly. The old blacksmith did not shirk, when the first to go inside, now the blacksmith shop has expanded to 6 people, two more than the original, this is because the old blacksmith's apprentice Ridori has been out of the school, officially became the second blacksmith in the shop, two people to build of course faster than one person, naturally, the shop also needs more helpers.

However, no matter how many people there are, there are only 4 people who can enter the inner workshop, except for the lord.

The old blacksmith took out the extremely fast ore from the basket, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, they are all high-grade ores, and after melting, they are all fine iron, my lord, what shall we fight?"

"Just the most ordinary long sword. Langdon said, paused and asked, "Old Victor, do you know the stacking method?"

"Of course!" the old blacksmith said with a glaring eye, "That's one of the basic building methods, how could I not?"

"And how many refinements can you get?" Langdon asked with a smile.

"This ......" the old blacksmith hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Before I came here, I had reached a maximum of 39 refinements, but after seeing the lord forge the gear and later the grappling hook and other things, I feel that my crafting skills have improved again, and now, it is estimated that I can reach 45 refining or even more than 50 refinement." ”

The so-called stacking method is to repeatedly overlap the material for quenching and forging, each forging will make the material less impurities, and at the same time make the material more tough, and the so-called 100 refining refined iron, in fact, is the iron that has been smelted a hundred times, in which there are almost no impurities, and the toughness and solidity have been improved to a rather amazing degree, even no less than many mixed materials with rare materials.

At the same time, the stacking method can also be used to measure the strength of a blacksmith, which can reach 10 stacks, even if it is a formal blacksmith, 20 times for intermediate blacksmiths, 30 times for senior blacksmiths, when the number of stacking times reaches 40 times, it can be counted as a blacksmith master, and when it reaches 60 times, it is a grandmaster, 80 times a great master, and when it can really forge a hundred refined iron, that blacksmith can be called a divine craftsman.

And now, Victor says that he can do 45 to 50 stacks, which undoubtedly means that he has advanced to master blacksmith.

However, hearing the old blacksmith's proud introduction, Langdon only smiled faintly and did not say anything.

And seeing the reaction of the lord, the old blacksmith was also in his heart, thinking of what Langdon had built before, the old blacksmith couldn't help but guess, could it be ...... The lord is already a blacksmith grandmaster who can achieve more than 60 refinements?

It's not interesting to just guess, and the old blacksmith is not entangled, so he smiled and said, "Then my lord, I'll start here." ”

As he spoke, the old blacksmith picked up a few pieces of iron ore and walked towards the furnace, which had already been flamed at high temperatures.
