Chapter 108: All the Way Forward
Cannon tearing down the wall is a joke. But since this building was built by the Sage, Xiao Chen naturally had the confidence to demolish it, and there was nothing to stop him from going to the innermost part to get the Forging Tower. It's just that Farrell's insistence is worth his wait.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and Farrell and his eldest son had drawn a sketch for Musia and the other three dwarven forgers to forge a key embryo. They are verifying the right size for each tooth of the key.
"I've figured it out!" called Farrell's youngest son, who looked up at the time above and said, "The cylinders overlap every ten minutes. So far, we've only had four chances to plug the key!"
"Don't panic, since it's four chances, the next two will be left for you to check. We try to get the key in the third time. Farrell said.
Luo Ling, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded to Xiao Chen, indicating that they were right.
"It's okay, Farrell seems to have it in mind. He's a great forging master who has been trained by us for five years, so it's strange that he can't handle such a scene. ”
Twenty minutes later, Farrell confirmed the final artwork.
Thirty-five minutes later, they had built the key. Because the upper teeth are prevented from touching the lock cylinder on the side, each tooth appears a little slender, and the key as a whole looks a little rough. But time was running out, and Muchia simply dealt with the surface and handed the key to Farrell.
Farrell came to the keyhole, and instead of rushing to insert the key in, he waited for a few minutes, observed the lock cylinder to coincide once, and then prepared to open the lock again when the next coincidence.
He spread his legs apart, held the key with both hands, and a faint layer of fighting aura ignited on his body. He held the key in this position before he brought it to the keyhole. At the moment when the lock cylinder turned to this position again, Farrell let out a loud cry, and then directly inserted the key into the end.
Seeing that the key could be inserted to the end, those around him who were hanging in their hearts breathed a sigh of relief. Farrell exhaled as well, and he regained his grip on the handle, then slowly turned the key. There was a crisp click in the lock cylinder.
The key turned around, and a pre-recorded voice sounded on the side: "Trialists, good job. Congratulations on successfully solving the first level, now the door will open, please proceed to the second level. ”
Although most of Farrell's group of forgers were quite young, they still cheered. It seems that everyone has established some tacit understanding in the first cooperation.
The stone gate on the side opened to both sides with a rumbling sound, revealing the canyon behind the gate. From a distance, you can see that two or three hundred meters away, a second checkpoint is erected.
This huge team continues to the second level.
The voice continued to say the second level: "...... Please use the materials given in the tool area to craft a short sword, and instead of using fighting energy or magic, only the sword itself will cut off the rod in the stone chamber. ”
Farrell first went to the stone chamber to take a look at the rod, then looked at the metal block provided in the tool area, and said, "This is soft gold, a magical metal with very soft properties. Generally no one uses it as a weapon, so they are not afraid that we have ready-made soft gold weapons on hand. However, if the heat treatment process of the Tower of China is used, the hardness of this weapon should be increased a lot. This rod is supposed to be a stratolite, and it shouldn't be a problem for the metal sword to be harder than it. ”
"Do you need to add some steel to the soft gold, or we can make a core out of steel?" In this way, the hardness is guaranteed. Soft gold broken stone, a bit difficult. ”
Xiao Chen had been looking at the two forging masters of the Fire Crystal Family, intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw them talking, he said, "If this is the case, maybe you will be judged to fail, do you think that the sages have nothing left behind to supervise your works?
"Leave it to me. We can also make a fuss about the shape of the sword, the same substance has a different structure, and it will have a completely different strength. Farrell walked to the tool area first, "The Sages set the questions according to the level of craftsmanship of thousands of years ago. It would be ridiculous if I couldn't figure this sword with what I learned in the Tower of China. ”
Sure enough, Farrell used his accumulated knowledge to create a sword in only half an hour, this sword is very short, but the back of the sword is very thick, and there is only a single-sided blade, more like an axe than like a sword. It's a joke to use it in battle, but it's perfect for cutting a stick specifically.
He raised his sword and fell, and the stone rod broke in response.
After passing the two levels, Xiao Chen did not rush forward, but let everyone rest and have lunch. Several forgers challenged for less than two hours. But it really consumes a lot of energy and physical strength.
In the afternoon, the team of forgers led by Farrell was in excellent condition, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
The third level requires digging out a metal plate with many special shapes, making small shapes and filling it in to fill in the metal plate.
Farrell took out a cutting machine from the Tower of China, divided it by two, and then polished it by several other forgers, and it took forty minutes to clear the customs.
In the fourth level, you need to find out what parts are missing from a broken golem, and then make parts to repair the golem and make it move.
Farrell, who had studied the Tower of Forging's Holy Order Golem and the Winged Silver Dragon, had rejected the dwarves' crude idea of making a golem. In accordance with the more advanced concept of the Tower of China, he designed the power system of the entire Golem, and used some accessories that he brought with him, and it only took half an hour for the Golem to be used again.
The final level is to enchant the shield to block pre-set attacks.
Farrell used a magic circle developed by Lorenzo and others based on the legacy of the Tower of Runes.
Far stronger than the enchantments handed down among the dwarves, Farrell's magic etching pen was much faster than the traditional enchantment pen, and it only took twenty minutes to complete the most difficult level.
By this time, several of the other great forgers were already full of admiration for the appearance of the Gazerell.
Lascano said: "I now know very well that it is impossible for me to pass this trial with my own strength, and if I am lucky enough to receive the inheritance, I really have to thank you." ”
Muchia said, "A lot of what we have learned should come from the inheritance that the great forgers have obtained from here in the past, right? I think maybe Master Farrell's skills will be more valuable than what you get here. ”
