Chapter Forty-Six: The Pattern of the Star Continent
"Xiaoxing, patriarch and grandfather, they are good at forging, but they can't practice astral arts. Although I have become an astral magician, I don't know how to forge at all!" Xiao Longchen was like a fiery metal ingot at this moment, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. All the enthusiasm, after realizing the problem, cooled down in an instant.
"Are you stupid? They can't become an astrologist, but that doesn't mean you can't learn to forge! And you have the aid of mental power, it's not difficult to learn at all, right?" Xiao Xing once again used his IQ advantage to gain the upper hand.
Xiao Longchen was also in too much of a hurry just now, so he didn't think of this. At this moment, after Xiaoxing's reminder, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, as long as I learn to forge, won't all problems be solved?" Why didn't I think of it!" Xiao Longchen muttered in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up again.
"Because you're stupid......" Xiaoxing never let go of the opportunity to damage him.
Xiao Longchen didn't care at all, but looked at the smelting degree of those few pieces of spatial Mithril in the forge with antiquity, for fear that the Gru Patriarch would accidentally burn these precious metals.
You know, Xiaoxing told him very clearly that this kind of space Mithril is a very rare thing even in the endless universe. Once these pieces are wasted, it is uncertain whether they can be found again in the future, but it is absolutely unacceptable!
At this time, he thought of what the Gru patriarch had just said, the goblin clan had also smelted some at the beginning, but they didn't experiment with the effect of this metal.
How many "some" they had smelted? Thinking that there were only five or six pieces left now, Xiao Longchen felt that blood was dripping from his heart.
Just when Xiao Longchen was thinking about it in an extremely complicated mood, the smelting of those few pieces of spatial Mithril also came to an end.
The Gru patriarch kept using a long iron rod to peel off the impurities calcined from the ore in the cauldron, and now only half a pot of bright silver molten metal like mercury remained.
Then the Gru patriarch clamped the pot with a long-handled iron tong, poured the molten metal into the mold, and waited for it to cool naturally.
After doing all this, the Patriarch looked at Xiao Longchen with a smile and said, "Now can you tell Grandpa, what kind of method is the special forging method you mentioned?"
Xiao Longchen's face suddenly became bitter, and he replied helplessly: "This forging method itself is not very simple, but because you have an almost harsh control over the internal structure of this metal, you must become an astral magician......!"
The elder of the Gru clan was old and refined, so he naturally quickly understood what Xiao Longchen meant, so he touched his head dotingly and said, "Silly boy, what's so embarrassing about this! In fact, even if there is no such thing, I already plan to take the time to teach you forging." Anyway, you are also the honorary patriarch of our goblin clan now, if you don't know how to forge when you go out in the future, won't it be a shame for us goblins?"
Feeling the kindness of the Patriarch of Gru from the heart, Xiao Longchen's eyes suddenly turned red with emotion, he looked at the kind face of the Patriarch of Greug, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "I will definitely study hard and live up to my grandfather's expectations!"
"Haha...... Good boy, as long as you want to learn, then grandpa is willing to teach what he has learned all his life. But it's too late today, you come back early tomorrow morning, and grandpa will officially start teaching you forging from tomorrow. Patriarch Gru said with a hearty smile.
Xiao Longchen nodded seriously, but he didn't go back immediately, but waited here for the space Mithril to cool down completely.
Leaving such a precious thing here, Xiao Longchen will not be at ease. Although he knew that the goblins were very simple and kind, he was also afraid that if something went wrong, there would be no place to cry when the time came.
A piece of metal as big as a basketball is obviously not a matter of time and a half if it wants to be completely cooled down.
Xiao Longchen naturally didn't sit here and wait, but took out a star stone from his coat pocket, sat cross-legged on the forging platform and cultivated.
The Gru Patriarch hadn't gone far yet, and when the goblins saw that this child was working so hard, their faces all showed some admiration.
Xiao Longchen's hard work and talent are even ashamed of the forging masters of these goblin clans. After all, teenagers who know how not to let go of a moment of free time and work hard at such a young age will definitely far surpass them in the future.
Because they have long regarded Xiao Longchen as their own relatives, Xiao Longchen has worked hard, and they are also sincerely gratified.
Being able to teach such a child the art of forging, which the goblin clan is most proud of, not only will it not insult the art of forging that they believe in, but it may also be completely carried forward in the hands of this child!
The smile on the face of the Patriarch Gru was very bright, to be able to witness the birth of such a powerful weapon as a battle-suit mecha in his lifetime, and to be able to meet such an excellent junior as Xiao Longchen, it was undoubtedly a very gratifying thing for him, an old man who was about to die.
Just when the development of the goblin clan was thriving, a large number of saints sent by the three holy emperors of the human race had also arrived in this wild land in the northwest.
Each of them is an astral magician, and the lowest cultivation has a fourth-order strength. Even if you encounter a small range of beast tides head-on, you are not afraid at all. Only those extremely powerful beasts can pose a threat to them.
The Three Great Holy Emperors attached great importance to this newly born genius boy, so they sent more than 3,000 saints. They formed a squad of ten people, and the captain of each squad was a blue-clothed saint with sixth-order strength, and the strength of the team members was generally at the fourth order, and a few of them were even at the fifth order.
Moreover, in the Holy City, the ranks of saints are divided according to their cultivation, starting from the first level, which are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, and there are seven levels. After reaching the eighth order, he will be given the status of a black-clothed priest, and from then on, his status will far surpass that of a saint, only one rank lower than that of the golden-clothed holy emperor.
In today's human society, those whose strength has reached the ninth order, except for the three holy emperors in the holy city, only the five great empires have such a background.
It's just that the Holy City, as the birthplace of the Astral Warlocks, has a transcendent status that surpasses that of the Five Great Empires, and what matches its status is naturally the powerful strength controlled by the Holy City.
This time alone, the Saint Legion sent by the Three Great Holy Emperors was enough to sweep through a single province of any empire, which really attracted the attention of all parties in the human world.
It's just that the Holy City has always existed as the guardian saint of the human world, and has never participated in the hegemony of the five empires, and has also played a role in regulating and balancing to a certain extent.
After all, in this world called the Star Continent, those powerful alien beasts are the masters of this world, even if the five major empires of the human world occupy an extremely vast area, they are only in a corner.
The area of the Northwest Wilderness alone is more than ten times larger than that of the five empires combined, and in the north of the human world, there is a large wilderness that covers an area almost comparable to the Northwest Wilderness.
If the Northwest Wilderness is called the Paradise of Alien Beasts, then the Great Wilderness to the north of the Star Continent is a veritable forbidden area for humans.
Compared to these two dangerous places, the Sea of Stars, located in the south of the continent, is the place where human astrologers are most willing to explore and hunt for treasures.
Because as long as you have a powerful star weapon that can fly, you can basically avoid being attacked by sea beasts in the sea of stars, so as to find those rarely visited islands in the vast and boundless sea of stars.
The Sea of Stars is like a huge treasure house, which has been explored and discovered by countless Terran powerhouses for tens of thousands of years, and no one has landed on the other side of the ocean.
But there is no absolutely safe place in this world, even if you go to the relatively safe sea of stars to explore and hunt for treasures, if you are too unlucky, you will die in the occasional outbreak of various natural disasters.
