Chapter 646: Mithril Weapon
I don't know what the thinking and aesthetics of the Ming family are like, but I know that there is always an impenetrable and incomprehensible gap between me and them, just as deep as the generation gap between different ages. (8) (1) Chinese Network Ω.ㄟ81.
I really couldn't understand what was interesting about this wooden puppet that had broken parts and kept spinning in place, and he could stare at it with relish.
Also, why did Dewey watch it with him with gusto?
Uh, yes, Dewey is also from the Ming family.
After that, Dewey took me on a tour of many other Ming creations, including the Portable Calling Crystal.
I asked Dewey, "How does this thing work?" ”
Dewey said, "It is the magic of a call that is burned inside the crystal, so that it can produce a conversation at a distance from a distance." ”
Oh, I see.
I thought of cell phones.
But—
"You have so much mass production, is it possible to leak call logs because of this?" I asked.
"Don't worry about this," Dewey said, "Each batch of portable call crystals has a magic record inside, and the same magic record can be heard and spoken to, but different magic records can't do this." ”
"Is there a way for call crystals with different magical records to hear each other and talk to each other?" I asked.
"No," Dewey said, "unless you have the same call crystal as its magic record." ”
Hearing him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that as long as our batch of portable call crystals was not lost, the conversation between me and Phoenix and them would be absolutely confidential.
Leaving this level, we descended directly to two hundred and seventy meters underground.
I asked Dewey, "Why don't you walk around layer by layer?" ”
Dewey said: "Because it's too boring, these layers in the middle are in touch with the test sites I saw before, and there is nothing new about it." ”
Entering the test site at 270 meters, there were dozens of wooden puppets, tall and clumsy.
"These are ......"
"This is the puppeteer's testing ground," Dewey said, "is the place we used to test the puppeteers." ”
Puppeteers?
Why do I always feel like they're robots?
On the test ground, the puppeteers were lined up on two sides, with a dozen puppeteers on one side holding heavy giant swords in their hands, and an equal number of puppeteers on the other side, holding large shields.
On the side, the commander gave an order, and the two puppets walked towards each other, and the one holding the sword raised the giant sword in his hand and slashed down at the other.
The other side raises their shield high at the same time as the opponent cuts it down, blocking the path of the attack in advance.
There was a dull sound, and the giant sword smashed steadily on the shield, and the huge wooden puppet trembled slightly at the same time, but it did not break and fall apart.
I was amazed and asked Dewey, "What kind of wood is this, and how can it be so strong?" ”
Dewey told me, "These firewoods are all bought from Moonlight City, and they are the best hardwoods. ”
"Huh?" I wondered, "Isn't Moonlight City not selling trees?" ”
"Hehe" Dewey smiled: "Xiao Yi, you are still too young, who said that Moonlight City does not sell trees, they just do not sell saplings and young trees, as for the old trees that have grown for many years, as well as those trees that have died due to accidents, they will still export and sell." ”
"I see."
I've learned another unspoken rule that can be legitimately cut down trees.
And as he spoke, the wooden golem had already switched fields, and the attacking side became defensive, and the defending side became attacking.
Then came another heavy collision.
After watching the collision a dozen times in a row, finally, a wooden golem could not withstand the impact of the collision, and with a click, it broke open.
The commander immediately called a halt and began all kinds of tedious data analysis and investigation.
I couldn't understand or understand this process at all.
Obviously, Dewey saw this, too, so he beckoned me to take the elevator and continue the descent.
Three hundred meters underground, we landed, and Dewey said to me, "From here, there will be no proving ground." ”
"Huh?" I asked him, "So what are you bringing me here for?" ”
Dewey pointed to a piece of bare silver ore and said, "See that, that's the Mithril for you to make the bracelet." ”
"Oh~ It turns out that the raw ore of Mithril is also silvery-white!" I sighed.
"No," Dewey said, "Mithril was originally gray, but it turned white in the exposure of the air. ”
I nodded and said, "So, from here on, it's Mithril's mine?" ”
Dewey said: "Yes, from here to five hundred meters underground, there is a lot of Mithril ore. ”
"Abundance, you say?" I pointed to the exposed Mithril and said, "But I always feel that the amount is not as large as I thought." ”
"Of course," Dewey said, "the abundance I am referring to is measured by the amount of Mithril produced by other towns, and if compared to the common ores such as iron ore and copper ore, Mithril can never be called abundant, their quantities are too scarce." ”
"But I see that there are many places in the market where Mithril weapons are outflowing, and some of them are not so expensive," I said, "Could it be that they are selling fakes?" ”
Dewey thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily, the so-called Mithril weapon is a weapon that contains the ore Mithril, and Mithril, after smelting, is easy to fuse with other metals, so even if it is a weapon doped with Mithril the size of a grain of rice, it can be called a Mithril weapon." ”
After listening to Dewey's explanation, I suddenly realized that this is not purely a shameless act of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep!
In other words, can a weapon mixed with a Mithril particle really be called a Mithril weapon?
If that makes sense, then, in a pound of rat meat, can a grain of mutton mixed with it also be sold as mutton?
I'm a little indignant.
Dewey said: "Xiao Yi, you don't need to be so excited, this is not a normal thing, although it is only doped with a grain of Mithril, but no matter what, it still has the existence of this kind of ore, the hardness is definitely the same, and the weapon without Mithril is slightly stronger, then the price will naturally be higher." ”
After listening to Dewey's persuasion, I sighed, he was right, after all, there is no treachery, no business, if you don't even do this dirty, it is difficult for businessmen to make a lot of money, but this way of making money sounds very unpleasant!
But on second thought, if Dewey hadn't explained these things to me, I might not have known about the dirt in the first place, and I might have been kept in the dark, at least, I would have been less foolish in the selection of weapons in the future.
Thinking about it like this, my excitement gradually calmed down.
As soon as the mood calmed down, my stomach began to growl.
