Chapter 86: Black Iron
When Payne arrived at Uzi's shop, he happened to have his prosthetic trimmed up just in time, and it looked like brand new. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Your craft is simply ...... Superb, my friend. ”
"If it's really a friend, can you leave me the remaining six weapons," Uzi said with tears as he watched the other party put his prosthetic leg worth twenty gold coins into his waist bag after staying up for two days and one night.
"Of course...... No," said Payne, with a wicked grin, "oh, by the way, this is my pipe, please put me a filter, my dwarven brother." ”
"I don't have a vampire brother like you," Uzi muttered with a dark face as he took two pipes, "hmm? ”
"I painted it casually," said Payne as if it were the real thing, "and of course the engraver's skill is commendable." ”
"Do you need me to put this emblem on your musket?" Uzi said, pointing to the musket at his waist.
"Is that okay?" Penn smiled, smiling brightly, "I won't give you any money." ”
"Hell," Uzi grinded his coarse teeth, "give it to me, and it will all be done in half an hour." ”
"If anyone tells me anything about dwarf greed, I'll shoot him with one shot. ”
Uzi looked at Payne in front of him, his beard crooked. However, he was not really angry, and although the dwarves had a bad temper, they were still very friendly to their friends.
When the two signed the agreement, they had actually established a relationship of interracial friends.
Dwarves rarely reveal their names, and they will only do so if they believe the other person is reliable and trustworthy.
In fact, dwarves can also feel lonely, especially when they are far away from the race and come to the territory of a different race, and the loneliness makes their temper even more irritable and eccentric. But there are too few humans who have a common language with them, and the same kind is basically a competitive relationship, and if they don't fight, they are already burning incense.
And Payne has a high level of forging and creation, and the two have no conflict of interest, and the key is to draw their own shortcomings from each other, and their personalities are more compatible. So, when these two people of different races got together, they naturally became friends.
This is also the reason why Uzi is able to accept the loss.
After Uzi took the two muskets, he didn't look at each other, "You go and choose your own weapons, don't pick too much, I'm watching you." ”
Payne shrugged disappreciatively, raised an eyebrow at the other, and walked down the aisle.
By the time Uzi's side was complete, Payne had already selected six weapons. Looking at the musket printed with the emblem, he felt very satisfied, in fact, his heart was happy, with the emblem, the grade was obviously improved a lot.
The point is that you have to praise the dwarves for their skills, they have taken the beauty of metal to the point of reaching the pinnacle.
"By the way," Payne took the silver dagger off, "help me see if the groove on this is where the Philosopher's Stone is placed?"
He had been trying to figure out what the groove was doing, but he had never found the right opportunity, and the dwarven friend seemed like a well-informed person, and he estimated that the other party would probably know.
Uzi took the dagger and examined it carefully, then took the small hammer beside him and struck it lightly, quietly listening to the dagger echo.
After a few moments, he spoke, "This dagger is made of rare materials, and if I judge correctly, it should be in it." ”
"Thoryin!" Payne was startled, "Are you sure?"
Uzi shook his head, "I'm not sure, if the amount of silver I put in is more than five pas (about five grams), I'm sure of it." ”
"Wait, I don't understand, what does this have to do with whether or not the Philosopher's Stone is placed?"
"If it is confirmed that it is incorporated, then the groove of this dagger must be inlaid with elemental philosophers," Uzi said, twisting his beard, "In a way, Thurium is the best conductor of magic, and it can maximize the power of the Philosopher's Stone, that is, if this dagger is a dagger used by magicians, then it must be inscribed with Thorium." The more Thurium you enter, the more useful the magic dagger will be for the mage. ”
"Isn't it possible that Mithril?" asked Payne.
"It's impossible, I'm sure. The silver dagger infused with Mithril will not be so bright, and its color should be cyan on the skew of color, especially when fused with silver, but of course, this is limited to our dwarven keen observation. ”
"Getting to the point. Payne said angrily.
"There's another way to determine if it's involved," Uzi shook his beard, "and you can break it down so you can figure it out." ”
"Decompose!" Payne's eyes widened suddenly, and he was still playing with hair, "This is absolutely not going to work!"
"You can take just a little bit," Uzi laughed, "ten pis is enough." ”
"Rub, you didn't say it sooner," Payne softened, "take it from the handle of the dagger." ”
"I still need you to remind me?"
"Yes, you're more professional than me," Payne scratched his hair embarrassedly.
Half an hour later, under the catalysis of a pile of bottles and cans of solution, the sample the size of a needle was decomposed, and after confirmation, the composition of the dagger was presented one by one.
In addition to sterling silver, there are small amounts of black iron, as well as trace amounts of silver.
"Strange, why do you want to get involved in black iron?" Uzi twisted his beard, his eyes rolling wildly.
"What is black iron?" Payne had the impression that there was also black iron, but it was all in the virtual world, he only knew that it was a forging material, and he didn't know anything else.
But now the situation is different, every substance here is visible and tangible, and it is likely to be closely related to himself, so he wants to figure it out.
"Black iron is smelted from black iron beneath the lava layer, and its texture is very hard, even more than Mithril, but much heavier than Mithril. ”
"In other words, Black Iron is worth more than Mithril?" Payne said.
It made perfect sense for him to think so, knowing that the heaviness of the weapon did not affect its value much, and the people who used them only cared about the toughness of the weapon, and even if it was lightweight, it could not break through the enemy's armor.
Uzi nodded.
This is not as simple as Mithril is valuable, the key is that black iron is very rare, even if there are gold coins, it is difficult to buy, because black iron is under the lava layer, and it is very difficult to mine, even the dwarven engineering team does not dare to try to mine it easily, and it takes a certain amount of luck to get it.
You know, not all lava layers will have black iron ore under it, more often than not, it will be iron ore, and black iron ore needs to be smelted by magma for thousands of years to be formed.
Of course, in addition to mining under the lava layer, there is a high probability of appearing in underground lava caves, but the problem is that there are some non-flesh monsters living there, and they are called lava monsters.
