Chapter 746: The Second Treasure
"This is the quarters, the quarters of the giant slaves."
"There are so many giant corpses, I have never seen so many giants in my life."
"This is the Hill Giant, this is the Fire Giant, this is the Stone Giant, this is the Frost Giant, and even the Cloud Giant is there, if you add the Storm Giant, the six core order clans of the Giant will be gathered."
"All of them died of old age, it should have happened the moment we lifted the vein sealing technique, even for these immortals, the time of sealing here is too long, far beyond their lifespan."
"I didn't expect a dwarf, who has always been generous and benevolent, to commit such a murderous act."
"Generosity and mercy are for the people and friends, and being generous and merciful to the enemy is a crime against oneself, when those dwarves made this choice, it was probably forced to do so, the dwarves have been damaged on a large scale, and it is no longer enough to control and suppress these giant slaves, maybe they just want to seal for decades or hundreds of years, and win a respite for themselves, and then they will turn around and restart this place, where do they think, they will never have such a chance again."
"Many dwarven seals are based on this idea, but once the downhill starts to go, how can it be easily reversed? In particular, sealing the vein is tantamount to cutting off one's most advantageous tool. ”
"Everybody's lucky, even the dwarves, so why can't we be the lucky ones? What if it succeeds? This is the idea of all parties. ”
"Yes, if it were us, I'm afraid we would have the same mentality."
"It's a pity that there are so many giants, if we can inherit them completely, what a huge force will it be? Even the Golem in the hands of the Council of the Chiefs of Death is not as much as here. ”
"Don't regret it, if they are really alive, it should be us who are thinking about how to escape for their lives now, giants are not an easy race to control, you see, many of them have already armed themselves, this is ready to unite against those dwarves who have fallen into weakness, seal them here, I am afraid that it is a forced choice, perhaps it is because of their rebellion and riot that the dwarves of this city have made up their final mind."
"What I regret is not their deaths, but the way they died, if they were killed in battle or slaughtered, I could have other ways for them to serve me, but when they die of old age, there is nothing they can do, even the gods can only send them into reincarnation, but cannot resurrect them."
"Lord Lord's means are really many, and he even dabbles in the realm of the undead."
"In the past, I quite disagreed with the idea that the power is not evil, mainly depending on who uses it, but now I have to admit that sometimes, some dark forces do have the convenience that the light power does not have, and if they are used well, they do play a positive role in promoting some good causes."
"There are some things that it is better to be cautious about, especially the forces associated with negative energy."
"Thanks for the reminder, but if there is no negative energy, there is no ghost wine of Vizeme Estate."
"This can be had, the effect of this ghost wine is even better than we expected, if the Colossus Dungeon is really as hot as you say, the demand for this wine will only increase significantly."
"You're a typical double standard."
"Looks like it does, haha."
"There are fountains and lakes here, I don't feel magic on them, where does this water come from?"
"We're now almost a kilometer below the surface, close to the confined water layer, and these fountains are definitely connected there, and the strong ground pressure will push the water up."
"I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in it, it seems that the living area is not an accident that is arranged on this floor, but has its own deep meaning."
"How come there is still a gate here? In the inventory area, those dwarves actually put their inventory area together with the living area of the giant slaves, so they were not afraid that these giant slaves would rebel and smash these gates. ”
"Normal, those giant slaves are not the best guards of these stocks, this gate is twice as thick as the one outside, let alone hammered open by manpower, even if it is impossible to open it with manpower, not to mention that there is rune protection magic belonging to the dwarves on it."
"I don't know what treasures these dwarves are still hoarding here, it's really exciting."
"Quick, hurry up and break the seal, I can't wait to see it."
"Don't worry, the seal magic here is even more powerful and complex than the previous one, even if you have the key, it will take a little time to completely break it."
The fifth level of the Colossus Mines is not a mining area, but a living area, a living area for giant slaves, full of simple and huge caverns, all for oversized humanoids.
As soon as they entered, they saw a large number of huge corpses, most of them lying in their caves, looking peaceful and calm.
There were also a small number of people who had gathered together, dressed in rudimentary patchwork equipment and various mining tools as weapons, and they were obviously aware of the situation, but their faces had just froze with anger.
Whether it was the giant slaves who were sealed by the Vein Sealing Technique in their sleep or in their waking state, without exception, their faces were extremely old, and their bodies showed no signs of corruption.
The way they are dying now is very mysterious.
It can be considered that the moment the dwarven vein sealing technique is successfully cast, they have already been killed.
It can also be believed that at the moment when they lifted the seal of the ore veins in Jiharin, they collectively aged to death, and the physical body showed the appearance, and the giant children who existed in it would not grow up and die of aging in just a moment, this kind of time retrospection is more for the soul.
Those who had no soul or eternal life, such as the stone thorns, were not affected at all, and everything about them, including their memories, remained at the moment when the vein sealing technique was cast.
These giant slave races are very complex, and most of the Giant Order clans can be seen, but they are mainly Stone Giants, followed by Hill Giants, Fire Giants and Frost Giants are only a small handful, and there is only one Cloud Giant who is the nobleman of the Giants, and the Storm Giants who are in the highest order are not seen.
The total number was also higher than estimated, more than 1,200, because it was home to not only adult giants, but also women and children, and the dwarves allowed them to multiply here.
Not to mention that it is placed now, even if it is placed in the age of giants, this is not a small number.
Their sheer size doomed them to a terrifying amount of food, and the annual output of a small estate was not enough to feed a giant's family of three.
Whether it is the Dragon Empire in the Age of Dragons or the Giant Empire in the Age of Giants, although they have a huge territory, the number of dragons and giants has never been hundreds of thousands, let alone millions.
It is quite remarkable that an empire of giants can have tens of thousands of giants.
They were mainly nobles, ruling and enslaving a large number of dwarf races to cultivate, forge and serve them.
In a large giant city, the number of giants rarely exceeds 1,000.
This once again shows the glory and power of the dwarves here.
Even if these giant slaves were turned into corpses, they were not worthless to Gavin.
The bone cannon researched by the Vizeme Manor is mainly made of various bones.
The bones of ordinary people are of course different from those of giants, and more precisely, they should be creatures with high health dice, including transcendents or legendary professionals.
Their flesh is tempered by the infusion of professional mana, and they are more compatible with various elements, including negative energy.
The bones of these giants are more likely and more powerful to create bone cannons.
But for this matter, most intelligent beings are taboo, and if they can not put it in the clear place, they will not put it in the clear place.
Most of the places in the Vizeme Manor are ghost wines, ghost eye toggles, and ghost cloaks, which are magical items related to ghosts, not only are not taboo, but are attracted to them.
Gavin has seen more than once that someone is wearing his own equipment and showing off his skills in front of him, and he used to be a little proud, but now he is used to it.
What really piqued everyone's interest was that in the deepest part of the giant's slave quarter, they found a steel gate, a larger and thicker one, and the magic fluctuations emitted from it were brilliant.
It is a treasure trove of the kingdom of the Supreme Shanata.
Their intention to guard the treasure with those giant slaves couldn't be more obvious.
Gavin and the others did it again, and easily broke into the inside of this treasure house.
Rao was not an ordinary person present, and he couldn't help but scream and talk again.
"Why are there so many giant-sized pieces of equipment here? Are we in the dwarven vault? Or is it a giant's? ”
"Giant full body armor, there is actually a giant full body armor here, not one set, but as many as ten sets, a finger thick steel plate, is this something that human beings can penetrate? The giant wearing this armor is definitely the king of the ground, invincible. ”
"These armors are not newly forged, but trophies, and the dwarves have no way to use them, so they can only be piled up here as treasures, and it is estimated that they will be used to arm the giant slaves when necessary."
"This way, this is the smelting masterpiece of the dwarves of the Supreme Shanata, the dwarves are made of steel and heavy armor!"
"With so many dwarves in steel and heavy armor, at least they can equip a thousand-strong army of heavy armor, right?"
"Far more than that, this is just a display of fine products, there are also boxes of non-fine products here, I think it should be more than enough to equip 3,000 people."
"Huh? These glasses may not look the same as the normal ones. ”
"It's really a little different, it's a by-product of the dungeon's smelting and forging process, it not only has a super ability to absorb fire elements, but also absorbs a large amount of steel elements, with a hardness comparable to steel, we call it steel glass, also called air glass, because there are multiple layers of air inside, making them lighter than ordinary glass."
"Tempered glass? I'll try! Ha...... It's so good, it's so good, I was still worried about the materials for making cloud ray equipment, but I didn't expect that this unique material could be produced here, what is the yield of this air glass? ”
"The yield is not very high, because they are the heat of the heat drawing furnace for a long time, and the trace amount of sand and stone brought out from the dry hot rock layer is repeatedly smelted and calcined at high temperature, and each time it is cleaned out of the furnace maintenance, with a maximum output of a little more than a ton per month, it is an excellent material for the helmet to protect the surface, which not only minimizes the impact on the vision, but also does not reduce the defensive ability of the helmet, you see these dwarves are made of steel and heavy armor, all of which are made of this material."
"I said how do I feel that the shape of these dwarves is a little weird, so the reason is here."
"If you add a black coating to this air glass, you can make sunglasses, which can effectively protect those underground races with dark vision, and kobold goggles are made of this."
"It's a pity that the production is a little too low."
"The low production is due to the fact that the Colossus Dungeon is not running at full capacity, and since it is a by-product of the heat-drawing furnace, the longer the heat-drawing furnace is in operation and the more heat it absorbs, the output will naturally increase."
"As long as we can produce them in large quantities, we can imitate their output conditions, design more specialized production equipment, and deploy more energy for mass production."
"It's a shame to say that until now, we have only stayed at the operation of the Colossus Dungeon, as well as ordinary tinkering, and want to imitate the production, especially the core of the Draw Furnace, which is far beyond our ability."
"Anything can be learned, not now, does not mean that it will not work in the future, our top priority now is not to innovate, but to understand thoroughly, to find a way to make the entire iron mine fully operational, this is our primary goal."
The weight of the treasure trove of the Supreme Shanata is far heavier than everyone imagined.
Among them, there are more than 300 sets of giant-sized armor, and there are twelve sets of extremely rare giant full-body armor, which are eight meters high, draped on the body of a life-size stone giant statue, which looks like a steel golem.
Not to mention extraordinary, even the sword of a medium-sized legendary warrior slashing at them would be difficult to break through - to this extent, it is not about quality, but purely using quantity to suppress people.
The number of various large, super-large weapons is more, as many as a thousand, mainly based on smashing sticks and axes, and those who can use this weapon usually do not have too high sensitivity.
The equipment of these giants is rather messy and of varying quality, and it is clear at a glance that they are not the work of one person, or even one race.
They are all trophies captured by the dwarves of the Supreme Shanata Kingdom, and there is no one in their clan who can use them, and the equipment they have forged themselves is better than these equipment, and it is worth returning to the furnace to recycle resources.
Theoretically, it is possible to equip those giant slaves, but it is impossible to give them much trust.
Therefore, their greatest value is to be thrown in a treasure trove to show their strength and remember their glorious history.
This can be seen in the position where they are placed.
The twelve statues of giants draped in the full body armor of giants are like the twelve guards guarding here, which is very visually impactful.
Some of the more sophisticated armor and weapons are not placed randomly, but are packed in special transparent glass cases, and the display is very strong.
If it is said that these giant equipment is a miscellaneous brand, then the dwarven steel heavy armor in the rows of display cabinets inside is the standard standard equipment, many sizes and shapes are the same, and you can see that it is carefully forged on the assembly line at a glance.
Don't listen to the assembly line and equate it with inferior quality.
What really determines whether it is good or bad is mainly the material, and even those legendary forgers have very little chance of forging a good product from inferior materials.
If the materials are exquisite, even if it is produced by the assembly line, it is easy to be a high-quality product.
The products of the Supreme Shanata Dwarves are undoubtedly the latter.
There is absolutely nothing to say about the materials used in these dwarven steel heavy armor, all of which are high-quality stainless steel produced in the Colossus dungeon, which is hammered out with a steam hammer, and the dwarf style is rich - thick, rustic, and reliable.
These Dwarven steel armor is a complete set of weapons, including combat boots, armor, helmets, and arm guards, and even equipped with a Dwarven heavy shield and a Dwarven mace, plus five Dwarven axes.
There are many small boutiques that shimmer with magical aura, at least +1 or +2 magic equipment.
There are 2,000 such equipment.
In other words, as long as Gavin has 2,000 adult dwarves with basic military training, he can immediately organize a 2,000-strong dwarven hoplite legion to come out.
It doesn't matter if you don't have dwarves, just let those spellcasters who are proficient in crafting adjust them with spells to help them adjust the equipment to fit any medium-sized humanoid, whether it's a human or a goblin.
For only these 2,000 sets of equipment, the market price starts at 20 million, which is only high, not low.
With such a large number of reloads, even King Giharim couldn't help but feel a pang of heat.
In terms of numbers alone, the arsenal of equipment that their Iron Clan has accumulated for three centuries is also inferior.
All kinds of dwarven scale armor, dwarven chain mail, dwarven weapons and other scattered pieces are piled up in boxes and boxes, and when opened, they still emit a shiny shine, as if they have just been maintained.
These pieces of equipment are enough to arm another three thousand people to the teeth.
Although there are many of them, their value is far less than the previous two thousand sets of dwarven heavy armor, and the market price is more than 10 million.
The most important thing is that such a large quantity of weapons and equipment is often priceless.
Gavin had negotiated an equipment deal with King Kiharim before, and he was only ready to gather tens of millions and arm a 3,000-strong army with various pieces as his main army.
As a result, the dwarves of Supreme Shanata left a gift package of 30 million for their descendants, and now they are all cheap.
