Section 28: Distribution of spoils

As one of the hardest metals known, resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, dissociation, and able to burn runes, in addition to the disadvantages of being too heavy, not easy to process, and difficult to find, Adamantite can be said to be the best magical metal. Adamantite gold is five times denser than steel, tougher than pure gold, and extremely resistant to high temperatures, even in magma, but it absorbs enough heat energy to float on the surface of the magma.

The pure gold ore that exists in the nature of Feilun does not need to be smelted and purified, and this purple-gold treasure is a pure metal with extremely high purity as soon as it is dug up, and the key is how to process it into a finished product. In ancient legends, there are only two ways to process and transform the pure gold, one is the gastric juice of the super giant beast deep underground, this monster that feeds on metal and rocks looks like a mixture of a giant slug and a turtle, using its gastric juice and a special spell to slightly soften the surface of the adamantite gold, so as to engrave or elongate, but to completely process a fist-sized piece of adamantite gold into the shape of a long sword, its material consumption is quite amazing.

Nowadays, the dark elves who use the most refined gold products are mainly relying on this method, and the popularity of the pure gold products of a drow family also represents the strength of this family, among which the most famous city in the dark region of Mosoblay City, the most powerful families even use pure gold to make fences on the outside of the family (of course, the swollen face is also one of the reasons), its strength can be seen.

The other method is just a legend, and the legend uses the god's own divine fire to modify the pure gold at will, but no one can confirm this claim, except for the god himself.

However, the use of Adamantite was changed during the time of the Great Empire of Nesser, when a great genius mage invented a special flux that could be heated to change the shape of Adamantite like smelting lead and tin, and when it cooled, it would restore its essence. The creation of fluxes expanded the use of Adamantite by humans, which contributed to the rise of the Floating City to a certain extent, as many of the important components of the Floating City could only be supported by the properties of Adamantite. Unfortunately, with the fall of the Floating City, the recipe for the flux was lost, and later adventurers found the futilated formula in the ruins of Nessreel, but this semi-finished product made from the mutilated formula was not as powerful as the original fuse, and it was very expensive.

In the years that followed, at some point, a new method of using adamantite was born, through special magical materials, people could combine it with other metals to refine an alloy that contained most of the excellent properties of adamantite, but without the disadvantages of being so heavy and difficult to machine, but this technique aroused the hatred of two races, the dwarves and the gnomes. Most of the dwarves believed that this method was the preserve of the Soul Forger, Moradin, and that it had been passed on to the dwarves by Dumason, a secret guard under the mountains (since the first known dwarf to master the technique was a priest of Dumasson), and that they themselves were the first race to make this Adamantite alloy (in fact, it was widely used in Nesserel thousands of years ago).

The gnomes believed that the alloy technology was a spark of wisdom - the miraculous invention of the Gal Flash Gold (the chief of the gnome gods), and that the gnomes preferred to do it in the alchemy laboratory, unlike the dwarves who worked on the anvil to do it, and they were the first race to introduce this technology to the human world (after the fall of Nessreel), so some humans believed that the dwarf alchemists were the inventors of the alloy technology.

Therefore, the conflict arose, and the dwarves and dwarfs, who were originally mixed together as brothers, turned against each other, although the two races were more restrained and did not have much fighting, but it is a fact that they have not been in contact with each other since then. Of course, there must be other reasons for the two races' rebellions, but people prefer (or deliberately) believe that one recipe triggers the two evil.

Weapons made of Adamantite are inherently armor-piercing and demon-sucking, and almost no armor (except for Adamantite itself) can withstand the attacks of Adamantite weapons, even the thick skin of a dragon can break through, and if it is not for the excessive density and heavy weight of Adamantite, it is also the best material for making armor.

Because of the over-exploitation of the era of the Great Empire of Nesser, it is now rare to find pure gold deposits on the surface, and only in the more remote underground world can occasionally find a little, which has caused the rare and expensive of pure gold in the human world, and now the value of pure gold is about two thousand gold coins per pound, but when it is processed into a finished product, it will consume auxiliary drugs of the same value, and if you add labor costs, it will cost at least five thousand gold coins or more, and the most critical point is that pure gold is valuable and in short supply.

It was definitely a great joy to be able to find the adamantite gold in the kobold's cave, old Singh and Torg excitedly rummaged through the kobold's ore pile, hoping to find more adamantite, but unfortunately they were disappointed, rummaging through all the ore piles, and the two of them did not find a second piece of adamantite, the dwarf sat on the ore pile in frustration and looked at the fist-sized piece of adamantite gold, and Sunderland and Elf also sighed unwillingly. Only Xiao Sha'er, who had no concept of pure gold, squatted beside her, looked at this, looked at that, and was enthusiastic to learn the appearance of a few people, pretending to sigh with a sad face, she tried to touch the purple-black ore, but was rudely pushed away by the one-eyed dwarf, and the little girl's small mouth was pouted, and she squatted on the ground with teary eyes.

Because he was concerned about his knife casting plan, William had also asked Singers about the metal materials in this world a few days ago, and he was also extremely concerned about the top metal materials such as pure gold. However, he did not mix with the dwarves to turn over the kobold's house, just now an axe split but Phineah's ice giant axe collapsed, William obviously felt that there was a too hard foreign object in the stone wall, he picked up the broken giant axe, scraped away the debris around the hard foreign object little by little, and soon a purple-gold scratch appeared on the stone wall - pure gold.

William excitedly slashed away the stone layer around the adamantite, and the purple-gold material was finally revealed, and a piece of pure gold ore the size of a human head smashed to the ground with a "boom", shaking the ground violently. A few people who were alarmed by the sound of the original mine landing raised their heads and did not come to check, they (they) were still immersed in frustration, only the little girl ran over, looked at the ore that William was fiddling with, and said in surprise: "Ah! William! This piece is a lot! The bad dun won't let Mi Sha'er touch his little one! Hmph! I want the stingy ghost to look at my brother's bigger one! I'm angry with him! Oops! Why can't I move!

Even the fist-sized piece in the dwarf's hand weighs more than a dozen pounds, not to mention the piece of adamantite that is bigger than the head, William looked at the millet Sha'er who was suffocated by trying to move the adamantite, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to stop the little girl's reckless behavior: "Okay little guy! Don't waste your efforts! This little thing weighs hundreds of pounds! Let me come!"

The little girl gave up her efforts angrily, circled around the pure gold ore, watched her brother pick it up with both hands, and strode out of the cave with slightly heavy steps. She grinned and ran back to the cave, and boasted to Singers, who was trying to rummage through the kobold's ore again, "Hehe! I told you not to touch Millet Sha'er! Hmph! William found a bigger one! bigger than your head!" The little girl gestured with her hands.

"Let's play! I won't even lie! If William can find such a large piece of adamantite gold, I'll even have Moradin's war hammer (artifact)!" Thorge sneered disdainfully at the little girl.

The speaker didn't mean to listen to the listener's intention, and Sunderland suddenly turned his head and stared at the little girl for a long time, the artifact, isn't the artifact on the head of this little girl! William can even find the artifact in the wild, and what other incredible things are impossible. The gaze of the Archon intertwined with Elph's, and the two men looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time jumped up and ran out screaming: "William!

According to the unwritten rules of Faeron's adventure group, regardless of the size of each adventure member's contribution, each member has a share of the harvest in the process of adventure, and the specific distribution is coordinated by their respective leaders and members. It's not uncommon for infighting to break out occasionally due to uneven distribution, and of course once that happens, the team will be ruined, because the entire continent is infested with monsters, and the casualties of the adventurous members are extremely fast, and no one wants to join this notorious group, including the evil race.

Sunderland was stroking the treasures worth a lot of money, and several greedy fellows were drooling and ugly, and Sunderland completely showed the true character of an archon in a trading city, and the extremely unladylike argued with the two dwarves who ran out after him about the distribution of the "spoils", and she was really spitting on the river, of course, she was not fighting for the interests of the city behind her, but for herself, and the elves were screaming about their exploits.

William hugged the little girl and Phinea and watched with great interest, and excitedly the little girl beat the side drum to the closer Elph from time to time, she was deliberately taking revenge on the dwarf's previous rudeness.

In the end, several people quarreled with dry mouths, but there was no result in the quarrel. Sunderland, who was so thirsty that she was about to drink some water, noticed William standing next to her and sneered, this cheeky female consul was not at all as naïve as she had shown before, she regained her elegant appearance, and gestured to William slightly, and said softly: "Don't make any noise! William found the thing! Of course, it is up to Mr. William to decide how to distribute it! Ho ho! Mr. William! As a partner who has provided you with enough potions for adventure, I hope to be able to get the reward I deserve!" And I'm the only one who can find enough flux!hehe!" Sunderland's eyes were full of kind care, and William smiled, but he didn't know what he thought in his heart.
