CHAPTER XXXI

As a professional mage, Palin's magic is much more powerful than that of wrought iron. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Especially in the last few years, I don't know why, his magic power has suddenly grown rapidly, and even his own strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Five years ago, he was just an ordinary mage who had only stepped into the intermediate level for a short time, but now, he had reached the point of being a high-level mage or even approaching the peak of the high-level, not only was his magic power as powerful as a river, but there were also many more spells in his mind for some reason, as if someone had injected power and knowledge into his body.

He once consulted Sui Xiong about this matter, and Sui Xiong studied it, and finally judged that the problem was in his soul.

Palin had actually died under the Death Cloud Trap, and when Sui Xiong arrived, his soul was no longer in the shell and had entered the underworld. At that time, Sui Xiong did not have the means to recall his soul, but with the help of the residual thoughts of his body, he used the means of earth science to resurrect him. In other words, he is actually incomplete at the moment, strictly speaking, he is just a moving body, similar to walking corpses, skeletons and other undead monsters.

But Parin wasn't the low-end thing, he was still alive, he still had full life functions, and even his body and his soul were still connected in ways that even the gods couldn't detect.

Perhaps because of this connection, when his soul became extremely powerful, it fed back into the physical body, making the physical body also quickly become stronger.

But...... It can raise the physical body from the original intermediate mage to close to the high-level peak, and even seems to continue to improve, which has the meaning of breaking through the legendary realm in one breath...... His soul. How powerful is it?

Sui Xiong and Jack-of-all-trades Viyer talked about it, and Viyer thought. Perhaps Palin's soul was not in the underworld, but went to hell. Became a big man in hell.

Hell is a special world that is located on the edge of the "material plane" of the ring of the world, adjacent to the "negative". At the same time, it also connects the "spiritual side" through the River Styx, and even has passages to the "front" in many places, which can be described as strange.

The main border of this world is the underworld and the abyss, in fact, it is a dividing point between the underworld and the abyss.

Evil spirits were supposed to fall from the underworld into the abyss after death and turn into demons in the abyss. But hell stops them and punishes the wicked, and when this punishment cleanses the soul of evil, they are sent to the River Styx to start the cycle of life anew.

And whenever the demons from the abyss want to invade the material plane on a large scale, they often pass through hell first, because except for some extremely special demons, the vast majority of demons do not have the ability to break through the barrier of the world ring, and want to reach the "material plane" from the "negative". It can only be passed by one road from Hell, which is Huashan.

Whenever this happens, the legions of hell come out in a big way, stopping them and destroying them without mercy. Fight off the invasion of demons again and again.

In other words, Hell is both the final judgment of evil and the front line in the fight against chaos.

When Sui Xiong dragged a world back to the material plane from the abyss. Because of the response of the god of justice, Jorgald Gardeman, and the Lord of Order sent a number of small worlds that belong to the "front". Only by neutralizing the "negative" forces of the world that he dragged down could he easily break through the barriers of the World Ring. This is a special case. Not enough proof.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the demons, the stronger the "negative" power in them, and the more difficult it is to get rid of the "negative". And the weak demons, although it is easier to get rid of the "negativity", they are not strong enough. Therefore, whether it is a powerful demon or a weak demon, if they want to invade the material plane, most of them can only go from hell.

Then, there is no then.

The supreme rulers of Hell are ten powerful men known as the "Kings of Hell", all of whom are powerful even among the gods, the supreme judges, and the supreme leaders.

Underneath them are the Inquisitors known as the "Dukes of Hell", the Border Commanders known as the "Marquis of Hell", and the local lords known as the "Counts of Hell". There is no particularly strict correspondence between these three and the titles of the world, probably that is, there is a slight resemblance in status, that's all.

Further down are the presiding officials known as the "Viscounts of Hell" and the military officials known as the "Viscounts of Hell", who often rule a region in pairs.

Under their command are many powerful soldiers known as "Hellknights", each of which is transformed from powerful souls. These Knights of Hell patrol their territory day and night, not missing any wind or clouds. Not a single evil soul escapes their capture, and not a single demon escapes their obstruction.

Because of the frequent battles, the strength of those innocent souls in hell often increases quickly, especially those who serve in the border areas, and some even only take a few decades to rise from mortals to the level of barons and even marquises.

Viye speculated that perhaps after Palin's death, his soul went to hell and became a knight who fought against the demonic invasion on the border. After more than ten years, he has made many military exploits, his strength has been greatly improved, and recently he has even been appreciated by a certain marquis and has become a hell baron.

If this is the case, the feedback from his soul will be able to make his physical body greatly stronger, so that his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the current level.

Of course, all this is just speculation. Hell is very reluctant to visit the gods, and although it will not attack them in droves like the abyss, if a god comes to hell, he will definitely be watched by the inhumane and powerful onlookers of the kings of hell, and it will not be long before he can only get out of the way.

Sui Xiong felt that he was thick-skinned enough, but he had planned to go to hell to find Palin's soul. But Viyer advised him that it was best to dismiss the idea.

"What if you find it?" asked Viyer at the time, "Let him go back to his flesh and be resurrected? Don't be stupid! He is already a warrior of Hell, and he may even be a high-ranking Baron of Hell, and maybe he will become a Marquis of Hell or something...... Why should people give up everything and return to the world to become a mage who watches the library?"

Sui Xiong thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth, so he gave up this idea.

Later, he told Palin about these things, and Palin also felt that since he was living a good life, he had lived without a soul for so many years, and there was no need to find his soul back. And if he finds his soul, which is the main one, the soul or the body? This question is difficult to solve, anyway, he doesn't want to bow his head to the guy who may have been fighting and killing in hell for more than ten years, let alone being devoured or even destroyed.

So that's it, for Parin, the only impact is that his strength has greatly improved, which can be regarded as a huge benefit.

At this moment, with his powerful magic power, it only took a short time to fill the magic power required for the magic refining furnace. Then, under the guidance of wrought iron, he activated the furnace, only to see that the originally dark and dull furnace glowed with red light, and powerful magic power flowed in it, and soon produced an astonishing high temperature, burning the iron ore inside until it melted.

The first to melt is the rocks with a lower melting point, which turn into viscous magma, and when all the rocks have melted, the wrought iron instructs Palin to open the discharge port and expel the magma.

After the magma is initially drained, the discharge port is closed, and the second part of the magic array on the furnace is activated, so that the temperature in the furnace is further increased, and the iron in the compound state slowly melts and mixes with the residual impurities. A large amount of toxic gas will be produced in this process, but fortunately, the furnace has a filtration function, as long as you are careful not to be scalded by the hot exhaust gas discharged.

After some time, the iron in the furnace was completely melted, and the third part of the magic circle was activated, and the molten iron was separated from the useless residue, and the molten iron flowed through the discharge port into the stone trough covered with earth to insulate the high heat, turning into iron ingots, and the residue was then poured into the waste pit.

After a set of processes is completed, it is the usual cleaning of the furnace. This thing wrought iron did not let Palin do, even though Palin had become strong, his body was still thin. Cleaning the furnace was not an easy task, and it was not suitable for him as a weak scholar.

For the next few days, Palin lived in a blacksmith's shop in wrought iron. He opened the furnace twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and spent the rest of his time thinking and studying carefully, pondering the principles of iron smelting, and thinking about what was wrong with the "blast furnace" that His Majesty Void Kamen was studying.

He drew a lot of diagrams to analyze and study the magic furnace from various angles. Then compare the dwarven smelting technique with the magic furnace, trying to find similarities between the two.

He also went to other blacksmiths' shops and paid them some money to learn their smelting methods.

The blacksmiths, of course, could not afford a magic furnace, and they used traditional techniques to make a sponge-like iron billet full of holes, and then forged it to obtain a solid ingot.

Constantly studying and researching, Palin tried to integrate various technologies into Sui Xiong's "blast furnace".

It was a long project, and he still couldn't find much clue until the day of his retirement.

These days, if he has achieved anything, it is the many extra iron ingots in the blacksmith's shop, except for a few fragmentary notes that have no value for the time being.

Not to mention anything else, at least for a long time in the future, the old wrought iron will not need to be boiled again, and these iron ingots will be enough for him to use for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
