Chapter 2994

Flame waves surged, and the flames soared into the sky.

Underneath the city of magic, a fiery vein of flames is continuously emitting endless heat. As the fire elemental monarch took away the power of the flames, this is also one of the few places in the entire world where there are still hot flames.

At the end of the flame veins, the light also became illusory and distorted due to the fiery high temperature, and the flames reflected a huge shadow, which looked like a human being, but it was many times bigger than a human being, as if the human scale was magnified The giant, listening attentively, could still hear the crisp beating sound, mixed with the crackling sound of the flames.

At the giant's feet, a group of necromancers dressed in robes and solemnly dressed were pushing several carts full of objects, approaching the giant little by little. There were so many heavy objects on the car that the axles sank deep into the ground, and every time it moved forward, it needed the help of magic.

Approaching the scorching flames, the leading necromancer wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after counting the items on the car correctly, he shouted to the giant in the distance:

"Your Excellency Kalunda, according to your request, we have shipped all the fine gold and black iron in the kingdom of the undead, as well as the thousand-year-old clover with the power of divination for the future, which is enough to ward off evil and bring good luck, and the stock of the entire War Workshop They are all here, please confirm to receive these forging materials."

It was said that the titan, who was trying his best to build the things in his hands, finally stopped his movements and turned his gaze to the undead scholars who were close to the flame veins. To be precise, it was the carts pushed by the scholars.

Kalenda stretched out his giant hand, and the shadow cast by the giant hand was enough to completely cover all the necromancers nearby. He lifted the cloth covering the carriage, revealing the rare ore shimmering with cold light, and the flashing light that could dazzle the eyes. Gold, and that small part is very simple, but it is shrouded in a wonderful atmosphere, the magical clover that has not changed even under the high temperature.

Looking at the precious materials brought in by the scholars, Kalunda frowned: "Except for the clover, which is barely enough, the other two materials do not meet my requirements at all. These materials are not enough for me to complete the forging. I remember I told you how much I needed, and I told you I needed much more than that."

Hearing Kalunda's angry words, the leading scholar quickly explained: "Your Excellency Kalunda, in order to meet your needs, the undead have searched the whole country. It is all the reserves in the kingdom, in order to take out these materials, several important research projects in the War Workshop have been suspended, Lord Sedros was also furious about this, and we have no way to come up with more."

At this moment, another senior scholar in the team looked at Kalunda with some doubts in his eyes. He was straightforward and disregarded the disparity in their identities, and couldn't help but say:

"With all due respect, it is difficult for many senior researchers to get a piece of fine gold the size of a fingernail. Right now, the entire country's fine gold reserves are here. Let those master alchemists come. If they make good use of the fine gold, It is enough to create hundreds of exquisite treasures, not to mention the assistance of other rare forging materials, aren't these materials enough to complete the forging?"

"What did you say? Are you saying that my forging skills are not perfect, and I am not as good as those human alchemists?"

Kalunda stared at the scholar who made the noise, and the thick air from his nasal cavity seemed to turn into two hurricanes. The scholars had to cast spells to maintain their stability. The scholars hadn't recovered from the hurricane, and they heard Kalunda's trembling voice resounding above their heads:

"What I am forging right now is the wedding ring that His Majesty Rhodes will exchange with the Dragon Queen at the wedding ceremony. I want to complete the forging of this ring with the highest standard, and I want it to appear in the world as a divine weapon! You said That's right, with those pure gold and black iron, I can forge hundreds of thousands of treasures, but there is not a single treasure that is qualified to be called a divine weapon, and there is not a single treasure that is worthy of my hard forging. You have not been able to provide me with enough materials until now, and you will ruin this forging!"

Under the titan's roar, many necromancers' ears were numb from the shock, and some even sat on the ground directly, covering their heads with their hands, which made them feel a little better. The titan's angry roar was like thunder exploding in the sky, or like a bell ringing in their ears. If ordinary people were here, this roar alone would probably end up with their eardrums shattered.

The leading scholar saw that the Titan was really angry, and the flames in the entire underground flame seemed to erupt. In his heart, he scolded the scholar who had just spoken rudely, and apologized to Kalunda with a smile:

"Your Excellency Kalenda, we absolutely do not mean to question your forging level. We all know that the supreme sword in the hands of the arrogant king was made by you. In the entire kingdom of the undead, only you have that level. Complete the forging of the artifact. It's just that we really can't come up with more forging materials. We have already bought all the materials circulating in the freelance chamber of commerce. We also don't want the wedding ring presented to His Majesty Rhodes to be flawed, but there is nothing we can do about it, we can only implore you to lower the forging specifications and complete the forging with existing materials."

"No...no..." Listening to the persuasion of the leading scholar, Kalenda almost wrote the feeling of resistance on his face, asking him to lower the forging specifications, and in the end he could only forge an ordinary treasure. It was even more uncomfortable than killing him. He said nothing to accept such a result, "If in the end the ring cannot become a divine weapon because of the lack of those materials, even if I sacrifice my soul and die for the ring, I will definitely will do that."

Feeling the firm determination of the giant titan, the nearby scholars remained silent. No one would doubt the authenticity of his words. He also regretted his rude words, and dared not say that about a swordsmith who devoted himself to forging.

"Who will tell me what happened here?"

Just when the will in the arena was depressed and the atmosphere was extremely dignified, flames suddenly ignited from the side, and a faint voice of inquiry reached the ears of the people. Looking at the figure emerging from the flames, and the majestic breath of death that almost engulfed everything, the undead scholars, who were originally depressed, couldn't help showing surprise eyes at this moment.

After stepping out of the flames, Rhodes looked around indifferently. Just now, he felt that the flames below him seemed to be agitated. He thought of Kalunda who was making a wedding ring for him, so he decided to come and have a look.

"Your Majesty Rhodes, you came at the right time..."

Seeing Rhodes approaching, the leading scholar immediately bowed to salute, and then reported all the troubles he was facing to Rhodes in detail.

"...That's the way it is. We really can't provide those forging materials to Your Excellency Kalunda. We have even bought out all the materials in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. There is still a gap between what His Excellency Kalenda needs. Small gap."

After listening to the scholar's narration, Rhodes closed his eyes and pondered: "Well... So, the root of all problems lies in the lack of forging materials. Kalenda, how much forging materials do you still lack? I'll see if I can help you solve."

Kalunda glanced at the carts sent by the scholars, made a rough estimate, and then said: "At least one hundred catties of fine gold and ten tons of black iron are needed before I can complete the forging of the wedding ring."

After listening to Kalunda's request, Rhodes couldn't help scratching his head. He remembered that when the legendary mage arranged the magic circle, the fine gold needed was calculated in grams. ? Compared with it, ten tons of black iron, which is enough to arm the entire undead army, is nothing.

If it weren't for Rhodes' extreme trust in Kalunda, knowing that he would never exaggerate about this kind of thing, if someone else said this to Rhodes, Rhodes would definitely think that that person deliberately reported it for the sake of forging materials. Number of.

Shaking his head, Rhodes also saw Kalunda's plan. He planned to forge the wedding ring into a real artifact, and the forging of artifacts is not so easy. First, there are no corresponding artifact parts, and second, there is no melted artifact. In the case of providing strength, these forging materials alone can forge real artifacts, so it is understandable to consume more materials, or it is absolutely necessary.

But... Thinking that all ten tons of black iron will be used in the forging of the wedding ring, Rhodes couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If he knew it, he knew it was forging a wedding ring, but if he didn't know it, he might think it was a counterfeit The power of the Dragon King.

It is a good thing to be able to use these materials to forge real artifacts. Although the materials needed are extremely precious, how can the value of the artifact be compared with some cold materials? Rhodes naturally had to find a way to facilitate this.

Rhodes asked the scholars on the side: "Besides the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, where else can I get those materials?"

"This..." The leading scholar seemed to be stopped by Rhodes' words, and after some hard thinking, he finally answered, "Your Majesty Rhodes, whether it is fine gold or black iron, they are extremely important strategic resources. If a small part is missing, it may be purchased from the black market at a high price, but Kalunda needs such a number, and I am afraid that even the black market cannot provide it. Only the human kingdom Erathia, or the elf kingdom Eri, there Only people with the power of the whole country can barely fill this gap, after all, those precious forging materials don’t just grow out of the ground, but rely on people’s continuous excavation of ore veins.”

Listening to the scholar's explanation, Rhodes' mind seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and he hurriedly said, "What did you just say?"

The scholar was slightly taken aback. Facing the Lord of the Undead's question, he did not dare not answer, and immediately added: "I mean Erasia and Eli, there may be forging materials that Kalunda needs, and I just want to get them. How difficult it is to get those materials, the people there are not willing to trade with the undead, even if they agree, they will probably make some rather excessive demands, you must carefully consider this..."

Before the scholar finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rhodes directly: "I don't mean this. You said that those precious materials will not grow from the ground by themselves, but if I really let them grow from the ground Woolen cloth?"

In the end, Rhodes ignored the slightly astonished eyes of the scholar, but just looked at Kalunda: "Don't worry, maybe I can get those materials."

After finishing speaking, Rhodes used the flame to escape, and his figure completely disappeared in the surging flames, leaving only a group of undead scholars, wondering what the meaning of Rhodes' words was in astonishment.

Whether it is fine gold or black iron, they are all hidden deep under the earth, wrapped in thick and hard accumulative rock, which neither caveman nor sorcerer can easily cut open. Even if people on the surface can find a vein by chance, it will take a long time to dig it out, which also makes these two forging materials expensive.

In the intricate underground kingdom of Nigong, the mining of underground mineral veins by cavemen only occupies an insignificant part of all the mineral veins on the main plane. There are still countless mineral veins hidden in the dark and deep underground, waiting to be mined one day.

And this is exactly the information that flashed in Rhodes' mind. No matter what kind of ore veins, they are buried deep underground. The power that stores the most fine gold and black iron in the world is not Erasia or Eli. It is the ground that stands under Rhodes' feet for everyone to stand on.

Mineral veins will not grow out of the ground by themselves, but someone can make the earth spit out the mineral veins by itself. There is only one person in the world who can do this, and that person is the earth elemental monarch who rules the earth.

Like the fire elemental monarch, the earth elemental monarch also released the seal belonging to the elemental monarch, but he was not in a hurry to take back all the power of the earth element in the current world, but just like this land has done for countless years. All the living things living on the earth, waiting for the moment when the rest of the elemental monarchs are completely unsealed.

Just as the fire elemental monarch who unsealed it can easily take back all the flames in the world, no matter where the ore veins are hidden, the earth elemental monarch will easily find them and let them surface on their own.

If the earth elemental monarch in charge of the power of the earth is willing to help, the forging materials Kalunda needs will also be available, and the ore veins bred by the earth, no matter how rare and amazingly valuable they are, cannot Disobey the orders of the masters of the earth, and that is the power of the earth elemental monarchs.

What made Rhodes feel at ease was that the Earth Elemental Monarch was also one of the guests he invited, and he had already arrived in the Magic City, and was resting in a tavern in the city. The undead nearby who have already been ordered will naturally not go to disturb them without opening their eyes.
