Chapter 618: Detek Runes, Friend and Foe Issues

Watching Blotto carry the magic hammer and smash it on the anvil "clanging", Xia Duo felt that striking iron could be full of beauty for the first time, and it was not once or twice that he had seen Blotto strike iron before, but none of them shocked him like today.

Maybe it's a magic filter!

However, holding the magic hammer in his hand, Blotto's forging technique is indeed different from the past, with some more changes in the magic level, and even Xia Duo can see a hint from it.

A large lump of iron was hammered into fine iron by Broto after a while, of course, it can be called "steel", but there is no special word to refer to "steel" in the color language, and it is enough to use "fine iron" to explain the quality.

Of course, refined iron can only be regarded as one of the raw materials of [Dragon Hunting Rune], and then Blotto divided the refined iron into small pieces and processed it again, and this can be regarded as the official manufacture of [Dragon Hunting Rune].

If it is said that the previous method Xia Duo can barely understand, but from now on, Blotto's method is not within the scope of his understanding.

With a "snap", a valuable sapphire was smashed on the anvil by Broto, and then the magic hammer wrapped in the gem powder, and again and again continued to beat the fine iron embryo.

One gem after another was fused into the iron embryo, and the Mithril did the same, but the Mithril nuggets he provided had already been processed into Mithril filaments before Xia Duo arrived.

This caused Chardo to miss some of Blotto's demonstrations, but the fact that the Mithril filament was integrated into the iron billet while remaining relatively independent was clearly more worth watching than the processing of the Mithril filament.

Such a skill was almost beyond Chado's imagination, and in his mind, Mithril and other metals, once compatible, could easily affect its own purity, especially if it was repeatedly beaten.

With his methods, he may be able to process the Mithril components first, and then encapsulate them through metal, but this method of directly integrating the Mithril filament into the metal is still a bit exaggerated.

Maybe that's the dwarven skill!

……

Forging the [Dragon Hunting Rune] was obviously not an easy task, and for hours on end, it was nothing for Xia Duo to just watch from the sidelines, but Blotto remained focused, hammering on the fine iron embryo one by one.

Sweat continued to drown down Broto's arms and beard, but before it touched the anvil or the magic hammer, it immediately turned into a wisp of steam, which diffused with the strong smell of alcohol.

It is in this process that the refined iron embryo gradually becomes regular, like a palm-sized piece of iron, although the surface is red-hot, whether it is a relatively independent Mithril thread or a magic string that has begun to be gradually linked, it hints at its appearance that is about to be officially presented.

"Boom-"

The last dull knock instantly dissipated the red heat on the surface of the iron sheet, and Blotto directly reached out and picked up the final product on the anvil, checked it a little, and threw it to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo took the iron piece and was a little cold in his hand, but the densely linked magic strings on it could not be faked, this should be the [Dragon Hunting Rune] that Blotto said.

After playing with it a few times, Xia Duo found that the front and back of this [Dragon Hunting Rune] were almost identical, except for the cuneiform script that could clearly be seen to be the true color of Mithril, there was no other decoration.

These cuneiform scripts are supposed to be dwarven scripts, but Shado has not studied dwarven scripts for any reason, and only knows that they are dwarven scripts.

Blotto incorporated the Mithril filament into the piece of iron, penetrating the inside and outside to form the words, and for the time being, Xia Duo didn't know much about the dwarven forging technique, and he wasn't sure if this was the most reasonable thing to do.

However, if you follow the practice of the color-resistant mage, it can be completely simplified, as long as you know the specific spell contained in this [Dragon Hunting Rune], you can directly use Mithril to construct the most simplified energy pathway, similar to the practice of ordinary magic items.

And you don't need to hammer and hammer for hours, as Blotto did.

Of course, this practice is based on Nesser's arcane magic system, and Xia Duo still has no way of knowing what the dwarven magic system is, but through this observation of Blotto's forging, he guesses that the dwarven magic system may be very closely related to the forging.

While the essence of magic is the same, the manifestations are different.

Not to mention whether Broto is willing to reveal the secret of the [Dragon Hunting Rune], it is not an easy task to switch between different magic systems alone.

Dwarven magic was so foreign to Shado that even before today, he had only known that dwarves did possess magic, but he had never seen a single instance.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Unlike elven magic, humans originally took the route of elven magic, and basically every mage tower has information about elven magic, so if you really want to study it, it is not difficult.

Judging from the fact that elven language is the standard for almost all mages, and Xia Duo still doesn't know a few dwarven words, the potential influence of dwarves, or the development potential, is far inferior to that of elves!

Even Xia Duo speculated that maybe it was because of the coercion of the elves that the dwarves and the elves had a Mithril rationing system, but in fact, it didn't do much good for the dwarves.

On the other hand, there is not much conflict between humans and dwarves in the choice of places to live, and dwarves prefer to stay in the mountains, stay underground, and stay in rocks.

And none of these are what humans like.

Humans and elves are the real conflict, both are terrestrial creatures, and both need to occupy land, on the one hand, to maintain forests, and on the other hand, to open up farmland.

Who is a friend and who is an enemy; The question of who can be friends and who will be enemies is very important.

Staring at the [Dragon Hunting Rune] in his hand, Xia Duo fell into a long contemplation.

……

"It's our dwarven Detek script, and you chroma-resistant mages like to call them 'Detek Runes', which means 'Hunt the Dragon'."

Blotto's words interrupted Xia Duo's thoughts, he raised his head and saw that Blotto had rested and was about to continue forging, it would take at least a few hours to create a [Dragon Hunting Rune], Xia Duo had already read it, he was not going to continue reading, he couldn't understand it anyway.

So he said, "Uncle Broto, you have worked hard to keep building, and I will go and prepare some spirits for you." ”

Blotto, who was about to swing the hammer, heard Xia Duo's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Go, go, don't have only one bottle!" ”

"Don't worry, it's enough for you to drink!"

……

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Chateau bought a few barrels of so-called "spirits" in town and returned to the Tower of Time, where he had previously distilled spirits from a few light ales.

It took two large barrels to distill less than a bottle, and now that the good liquor has been exchanged, it should be able to distill more spirits.

However, this kind of repetitive work did not need to be done by Xia Duo himself, and he casually issued a private task through Taling that was limited to level 3 apprentices and above, and then came to the previous workshop.

Before waiting for the arrival of the person who took the task, Xia Duo began to make a larger distillation unit, in fact, if it was not for the sake of hurry, it would be the most cost-effective to make a thermometer first and then let ordinary people take care of it.

As it is now, although it is very convenient to control the temperature through the alchemy circle, it is also very expensive, and the added value of alcohol is far less than that of magic items.

This is probably the only time to produce spirits in this way!
