Chapter 442: Boating
Although the mayor of the Deep Furnace had already spoken and no longer intended to stop it, he did not immediately provide them with the iron ship, but shook his head and said: "There is a ship that transports the sacrifices, and yesterday you watched the sacrifices sent away, and after the mountain spirit accepts the sacrifices, it will let it float back along the lava from another road, and it will take five days to go back and forth. ”
"So long?" Lukka hesitated, and it seemed like he had to change his plans.
"If it's this long, then we'll have to bring some food with us when we go. "Nora always thinks of food before she does anything.
"It's good that we have a little more time to prepare. Lukka nodded, and said to the old dwarf, "We'll come back in four days, and you can help us get the boat ready." ”
"Okay. The mayor of the deep furnace did not object again, but put forward another condition, "Can you let this little girl stay for a while, I want to hear how the old friend spent his last time." ”
Lukka thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but I'm not worried about leaving her alone, anyway, there are still a few days, let's all stay here until the evening, you can just prepare two more meals." ”
Jean, who had been knocked unconscious by Ollie, had just come to his senses when he heard this unceremonious request, and he almost cried for the dwarven granary when he thought of the scene he had observed at dinner yesterday.
In any case, the two sides did not really turn against each other, and four days later, Lukka led everyone and dragged several boxes full of supplies to the dwarven stronghold in the heart of the mountain again.
The Mayor of the Deep Furnace was already waiting in a small room next to the altar, and the ship made of Mithril was already on the ground.
Lukka drew a circle on the boat, and of course, most people couldn't see the flow of magic channeled under his staff, only that he was holding a wooden stick and spinning around the ground.
"Does this really work?" asked the Mayor of the Deep Furnace, worried.
"Rest assured. Lukka finished drawing the last curve, sat down and took a sip of water, "Nora, you go try it." ”
"Okay. The fire elf agreed, raised his hand and released a ball of living flames, "How do you burn?"
"So," Lukka said, turning back from Phil's hand, taking the little notebook he never left with him, tearing a piece of paper from it and placing it on the iron ship, "you try to light it." ”
The Living Flame circled the iron ship several times, trying to get close to the paper, but when it got close to about two meters above the ship's plank, it immediately stopped.
"Come closer, how can you get so far away?" said Phil, puzzled.
"I can't get closer, and if I go any further, it's gone. Nora said as she sent the flames a little inside, and half of the flames were half extinguished in an instant.
"I said it's okay, right? Lukka said, pointing to several large boxes next to him.
These chests not only contained a lot of various enchanted glass blocks that he had made before, but also everyone's five-day rations, because he had to take care of Nora's food, and the size of the boxes was also very amazing.
As for the other foodie in the team, the half-giant Linde, this time he had to stay on the dwarven side first.
The length of the iron boat is about four meters, and the width is only about two meters, of course, these ten or so people can't all be brought, especially the larger ones, such as Linde and Daniel, as well as the dwarfs and goblins who have been arguing and refusing to be together, they have to be separated from the others for a while.
Phil struggled for a long time, he didn't worry about leaving Linde with the dwarves, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a five-day trip to magma that he would never encounter again in this life, so he stood by the side of the boat and walked up for a while, and then jumped down again.
"Alright, come down. Lukka grabbed him by the collar from behind and pulled him off.
"However, I have just decided that I still want to go. Phil said quickly.
"Even if you go, come down first, the lava is at the altar in the next room, do you want us to carry you on the boat now?" Lukka said.
In the end, with Phil, a total of six people went, and Daniel stayed at the dwarven garrison to prepare to pick them up.
In fact, as a ghost, Daniel is not afraid of fire, but as a knight of the sea, he instinctively resists this kind of place where the sea breeze cannot blow at all, and voluntarily stays. And, without a slightly more reliable person who left only half-giants, gnomes, and goblins here, Lukka really couldn't imagine what would have happened.
When everything was ready, the iron ship was carried by the dwarves to the altar, and six men boarded the ship with chests, and with a strong push from behind, the iron ship slid steadily into the lava.
The effect of the circle was very stable, and Lukka only felt a slight warm breeze blowing through the boat, and although the red magma was just a step away, no heat radiated at all.
He is very confident in his magic circle, but in order to deal with unexpected situations, he has also made more than a dozen enchanted glass blocks with the same effect in the past few days and distributed them to everyone, breaking this one-time consumable under his feet, which can ensure that a person will not be consumed by flames for two hours.
The lava carried the iron boat through the passage, taking up most of the space in the passage, and in some narrow places, the ship almost reached the top of the passage, and everyone had to bend down and lie on the boat to barely pass.
After all, magma is not as viscous as flowing water, and there is no slope in the channel, so the flow speed will definitely not be very fast. After a long day on the boat, Lukka estimated that he had probably moved a few kilometers into the mountain.
"Captain, I want to eat!" Nora cried out on time.
"Okay, go get it. There was dry food in the outermost box, and we took some out of it, so we could save some food and water, and I don't know how far it was inside. Luca said.
Nora opened the box, took something out of it, and exclaimed, "Why did you bring raw meat?"
Luca frowned when he saw it: "Who prepared this food?"
It was Daniel, who said that he would not follow this trip, so he would do a little more in logistics. Phil had no scruples about making a small report.
"That's a good idea, but how do you eat raw meat?" Lukka scratched his head.
"Let Nora light the fire and cook?" Ollie suggested.
"No," the fire elf shook his head, "there is no fire on this ship. ”
Thea said nonchalantly: "Actually, raw meat can also be eaten, I used to catch cattle and sheep to eat raw, and it has a different taste than cooked ones." ”
Lukka glanced at her, "We're not dragons. ”
"So what to do?" Phil hesitated, and under Thea's constant encouragement, it seemed that he really wanted to take a bite of raw meat and try it.
"By the way, Crete," Lukka suddenly remembered, "you said that Mithril can't be melted by lava, right?"
Crete didn't understand what he meant, but nodded.
"That's good, Ollie, your sword is Mithril, isn't it?
