Five hundred years ago, the Iron Furnace Province was a plain of ruins destroyed by a race war, a place where countless humans and aliens were buried. During www.biquge.info Race War, hundreds of battles broke out here, large and small, and violent elemental waves plowed the land of less than 10,000 square kilometers several times, and it is said that there were more than 100 remnants of magic cannonballs per square kilometer on average.

The Ironforge is an open plain at the confluence of the Panin, San Carlo and Casipelina mountains. But after hundreds of years of development, it has become a thriving area with a fairly dense population, with cities and villages as dense as stars in the sky, so much so that when Su Wen stood on the top of the Rocket Hotel and looked into the distance, he saw a dense crowd of exotic buildings and a large number of slowly moving convoys like ants.

On the way to Ironforge Castle, Su Wen could barely see the idle wilderness on this land, and almost every inch of land was used. Settlements are dotted with factories, huge chimneys, billowing smoke, hydro and wind-powered energy devices, the roar of steam machinery, rows of more than ten magic-assisted heavy freight wagons, steam trains roaring from the tracks, and the ubiquitous alien race of laborers: half-orcs in leather jackets smoking coarse cigarettes, massive two-headed trolls carrying half-ton metal parts, goblin overseers napping on stones...... This was the scenery that Su Wen saw on the road, and he understood that after passing through the very edge of the circle of commercial towns, this was the real Iron Furnace Province.

Only such a picture is enough to match the country's largest industrial province.

Su Wen knew that he had not come to the wrong place.

Originally, the provinces in the northern part of the empire tended to live together, but in the province of Iron Furnace, the degree of this kind of mixed living was even higher, making Su Wen feel that it was like a hodgepodge of stewed pots. He couldn't even count the density of the ethnic distribution here, maybe there were orcs everywhere on this stretch of the road, and a kobold village on the next stretch, but there was no doubt that the number of goblins here was quite high, active in all strata of society, and the dwarves who were equally famous were accustomed to going deep and simple. Su Wen could occasionally see them snoring with too much ale in the roadside blacksmith shop, but they didn't see much, and they didn't seem to like to walk around the streets.

Two-fifths of the outsiders who entered the province from the Duolun Empire were merchants and travelers, and the remaining fifth were mostly adventurers - of course, there was no danger to be taken in the province of Ironfurnace, but from here, two hundred kilometers to the north, the Panin Mountains were a paradise for adventurers. There are lucky people who get rich there, but most of them have taken their lives for it.

So, when Su Wen entered a dwarven armory shop and inquired about the price of weapons there, the dwarven blacksmith with a crimson rosacea nose shouted in a rough voice.

"Boy, I was an adventurer like you when I was young, right down to my kne......es"

Before he could finish speaking, another female dwarf quietly appeared behind the bearded dwarf. Her equally thick hand grabbed a dozen pounds of iron lump, and smashed it on the back of the drunken dwarf's head with great precision, and then dragged it unconscious into the back compartment, and more than ten seconds later, in Su Wen's somewhat straight gaze, the female dwarf walked out.

"The old man is drunk, what do you want?"

Su Wen felt that her voice was not much thinner than the male dwarf just now.

But the business still has to be asked.

"Is there a weapon made of Terra Steel?"

"Pure Terra Steel doesn't have it, it needs to be customized, and it's not cheap, it's usually used to make magic weapons. The female dwarf looked Su Wen up and down, as if trying to determine how many gold coins he could pull out, and when her eyes stayed on the Woking carriage not far behind the latter, a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes, "But it's about the same, you wait." ”

Soon, she took out a heavy short sword, and then pulled it out of its sheath: "This short sword is made of Terra steel sandwich, and on both sides is dwarven hundred steel, even in Ironforge Castle, it is absolutely superior. ”

Su Wen took it and looked at it, there were indeed two thin dark lines on the blades on both sides of this short sword, which must be the Terra steel in the mouth of the dwarf blacksmith. As for the dwarven hundred refining steel patterns brought by the refinement of the sword body, it was as beautiful as wave after wave, even if there was no data given by the identification technique, Su Wen also understood that this thing was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford.

Well, the steel clamping process of Terra Steel and Hundred Steels really doesn't look like a human blacksmith can make a product.

Lost an identification technique, and the results obtained made Su Wen very satisfied: "Dwarf short sword, excellent quality, physical attack power 16-41, high equipment strength, medium attack speed, use requirements: none, with enchantment: none." ”

A weapon with a good rating feels like it can sell for a lot of exchange points.

Su Wen sniffed the knife oil on the blade, plucked a hair and put it on the blade, and with just a slight pause, the hair was easily cut off.

"Price?"

Su Wen looked up and asked.

The dwarven blacksmith stretched out five stout fingers: "600 gold coins." ”

Putting aside the question that the gesture is not right, Su Wen calculated a little, this short sword must be able to sell for at least two or three hundred exchange points before he can move the idea of buying, but according to past experience, a good magic light crossbow can only be sold for less than 300 points, and this kind of tabula rasa is probably difficult for 100. But this short sword is really good, although if it is not for the exchange of points, Su Wen will not be of any use in buying it, but the test value really cannot be ignored.

So Su Wen thought about it carefully.

"300 gold coins, if you sell them, I'll take them away. ”

The dwarf blacksmith was also refreshed, she spat on the ground next to her, and then looked up at Su Wen: "Are you looking for fault?"

Su Wen's face did not change: "400 gold coins." ”

"I won't sell one less, if I change it to something else, forget it, this thing is the pride of our dwarves. ”

"Then I can only say it's a pity. ”

"Slow down and don't send it. ”

What a tough dwarf.

Su Wen really needs to test the hardness of Terra Steel, this short sword is very suitable, but the price of 600 gold coins is indeed a bit expensive, even if it is put in the past, Su Wen will feel distressed for a long time, let alone after deciding to save expenses. If he had saved a little money, the gold would have been more than enough for the next month's worth of lodging and food, and he had tested enough along the way, and it was not a bad one, though it was a pity - wait until he got to Ironforge and take the time to see if there were any cheaper weapons of the same kind.

Well, since the talks have collapsed, let's hurry on the road and try to get to Ironforge Fort before evening.

However, just as Su Wen was about to leave, a burst of burning incense suddenly came from the door, and at the same time, there was a barbell-like laughter from a girl. Before Su Wen could react, an agile figure passed by his side, and then bumped into his shoulder.

So fast......

But Su Wen's reaction ability has long surpassed ordinary people, and if he bumps into an ordinary person this time, he will be knocked to the ground, but he finally managed to stabilize his body with the momentum of retreat, and he didn't look too embarrassed.

"Eh, I'm sorry I bumped into you, but I didn't mean to. ”

The wind-like figure stopped immediately after hitting Su Wen, and then quickly apologized to him, and when Su Wen turned his head to look, he realized that it was a red-haired girl with bronzed skin. The girl's appearance can only be said to be so-so, not ugly, but her whole body reveals a heroic spirit that is difficult to describe in words, and her body seems to contain explosive energy. In the late autumn, when the temperature was only in the early 10s, she was only wearing a thin shirt, but her long fiery red hair was very conspicuous, so that Su Wen almost mistook it for a burning flame.

When Su Wen looked at this girl, she had already taken her attention away from Su Wen.

"Aunt Dwarf, do you have any magic crystals here, quickly bring some to the old lady. ”

This hearty voice shook the earth, and even the street outside the store could be heard clearly, and the face of the dwarf blacksmith behind the counter, who had been unhappy with Su Wen, directly distorted, and the hammer behind her pulled out and set up an offensive posture.

"Human melon baby, call your aunt again?"

The red-haired woman was stunned for a moment, then changed her words: "Ah, oh, dwarf lady, do you have any magic energy crystals here?" ”

"No, if there is, it will not be sold!"

What a wayward dwarf......

Su Wen shook his head without a trace, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. The dwarven blacksmith is not easy to mess with at first glance, although the red-haired girl is in a hurry, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she is a magic crystal, and her appearance is different from ordinary people, so she is a magician. If the two of them did fight, he wouldn't be interested in cheering on the side.

"How could it not be, the old lady smelled the smell of the magic energy crystal from afar, the dwarf lady, you are good, you are in a hurry to use it here!"

"No, it's just no, don't accept it!"

"It's so cunning, it's obvious that there is!"

"Nope!"

Su Wen was just fed up with this meaningless spitting spit, and hurriedly quickened his pace to return to the carriage, where Laetitia was still waiting for him. However, as soon as he walked out of the store, he suddenly felt a wave of air behind him, and the red-haired girl rushed out with a raging momentum.

Kicked out?

"Stop!"

Su Wen was involuntarily stunned, because judging from the direction, the girl seemed to be shouting herself.

But he didn't know this guy at all, but there was a little physical collision just now, could it be because he was unhappy when he was kicked out by the shopkeeper, so he came to find trouble for himself?

Wait, Magic Crystal?

Su Wen suddenly thought of something, and then instead of stopping, he sped up and walked.

However, in the next second, Su Wen felt a gust of hot wind hit behind him, and the girl pounced directly on him, hugged his arm, and then sniffed vigorously like a sensitive wild dog.

"Haha, the old lady smelled it, it's here! Little brother, sell your magic energy crystal to the old lady, just ask for as many gold coins as you want!"

Su Wen looked up at the sky in despair, this guy is definitely not normal!
