【Chapter 248】 Black Iron Forging, Summoning Ceremony
The two were talking and laughing. The curtain was lifted, and Eric leaned in and glanced: "Mabury?"
"I'm here." Marbury stood up and responded cheerfully: "Hey, Eric, what's the dispatch?"
"It's very important, Lord Lord wants to see you in person."
"Okay, please lead the way." Marbury grabbed his sleeves and wiped his face, and smiled at Roberts: "It seems that my suggestion yesterday was known by the Lord."
"Go quickly." Roberts spread out parchment paper on the table and drew a tombstone-like pattern on it. It was one of the models of the Heroes Monument designed for the Black Stone Collar.
When she saw Leah, she rode a war horse with brown fur, her horse's hair was like ripe wheat ears. Under her shiny close-fitting leather armor, her figure was elegant, and her curly and fluffy red hair was as fierce as flames.
"Sir." Marbury looked up at her and saluted respectfully.
"Hello." Riya's clear eyes looked down at him with a faint smile on her angular face: "Thank you for your reminder, about the Blood Warhammer. I learned from Carrick, and I think you may explain it in detail for me in person."
"Okay, sir." Marbury's voice was loud: "It's true that the orcs' weapons looked rough. But in fact, the metal used was extraordinary. Especially the material of the Blood Warhammer was very unusual. I heard of it when I was in Deep Water City. It is said that it was forged by some special meteorite, with strength, stiffness and toughness far exceeding the metal we forged, and even Bethka steel cannot match it."
"And." Marbury lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this metal is very popular among the Holy Spirit Knights. In the Knights, this iron is also called black iron, which is an excellent material for forging the Holy Spirit Knight's weapons. In addition to the blood warhammer, other weapons of the orc warriors have also been discovered through the experiments of the guild, but the content is smaller."
"Black Iron?" Lea looked very interested. The captured blood war hammer weighed 100 pounds. After polishing, the black outer layer she thought was not rust, but the color of the war hammer itself. In the fight with the centurion, in just one round, the Bethka steel gun broke instantly, making her realize the value of this metal.
Metal is now one of the bottlenecks in the development of Blackstone Collar. The Bethka steel purchased is stretched and cast iron is far from meeting the requirements, so the output of orc hunters has been greatly affected.
In order to solve the metal dilemma, she and Sir Weimar decided to take out the gold coins in hand and purchase another batch. However, in a short time, she may not be able to ship it smoothly.
Therefore, the discovery of the uniqueness of the Blood Warhammer opened up new ideas for her.
"Sir." Marbury smiled with a cracked mouth, obviously a little embarrassed: "There are rumors in the guild that the orcs' invasion is not only to plunder the population, but also our iron tools. Even cast iron with poor texture can be made into metals with high strength after their special forging."
"Mabury, if you were asked to re-smel these orc weapons into iron ingots, are you sure?"
"I need a blacksmith shop, lord. I brought two furnaces, bellows, anvils, and crucibles from Deep Water City. By the way, I still need a few helpers. If it is just melted into iron ingots, there should be no problem."
Liya nodded with satisfaction: "You will get these soon, I only have a little requirement. The quality of these iron ingots cannot be inconsistent, and it must be consistent."
"That..." Marbury hesitated for a moment and smiled embarrassedly: "Sir, it takes extremely high temperature to smel this metal. I have seen blower machines for burning bricks that are much more efficient than bellows. I think if there is one... plus the black stone that is even hotter than firewood and charcoal, it may be able to meet your requirements."
The reason why Marbury is a half-baked blacksmith is not that he is not diligent enough and not easy to learn, but that his master died too early and has no choice. Forging iron ingots is the basic skill of the blacksmith, and he has also obtained the true teachings.
"There is no problem with these. I will send you some people immediately to build a blacksmith shop as you wish."
Orcs' weapons are generally very heavy, and even the lightest hand axe weighs 20 pounds with the handle removed. The weapons left by thirty orcs, including some simple armored belts and armor, plus the blood warhammer, totaled as many as 1,000 pounds.
The weight of an orc hunter is only about 15 pounds. If the black iron can be successfully melted into iron ingots, the output of orc hunter will be greatly increased.
"Yes, sir." Marbury nodded confidently: "It won't disappoint you."
...
In the winding wind-eroded cave, six torches swayed the firelight and formed a ring. Qin Song, wearing a brocade robe, stood in the center of the ring, Alice and Elena stood a little further away, looking at him nervously.
This is a ceremony to summon the evil nest spider demon.
It was hosted by Qin Song himself and was also the first time the witches personally participated in the summoning ceremony. Because the evil nest spider demon has a low rank, there is no magic array yet, but only sacrifice materials - bone powder.
Qin Song took out a cloth bag from his arms, sprinkled gray powder in the center, and evenly painted it into a circle - grounded from the Sage Canyon and the orc head.
"Okay." Qin Song clapped his hands and walked out, clearing his throat: "The spider demons purified by the gods have a natural response to the evil orc bone powder. The evil power will inspire their fighting spirit, thus crossing the dream and descending to the world through the gods' void gate."
"Qin, is that OK?" Alice pursed her lips gently, a little nervous.
"This is just the simplest ritual. In the dreams of the gods, there are many nightmare creatures, some of which have been purified, while others are still difficult to change their bad habits and will be imprisoned forever."
Summoning rituals are very important for witches and will play a great role in the subsequent battlefield. Witches must understand this ritual.
"The greatness of God's wisdom lies in the good use of knowledge. As God said, everything has two sides. It will also be of good use under the guidance of the purified nightmare creatures and the firm belief of the summoner."
"Just like spider demons, their magic acid can poison living creatures. But in the same way, under the reasonable use of knowledge, it can create explosive magic powder and fight against evil."
Alice and Elena have a deep understanding of this point, and gradually agree with the view that everything has two sides. This recognition will cause subtle changes in their psychology and gradually reduce their views on evil creatures.
This is very important, after all, Qin Song's body is much ugly than the evil nest spider demon.
There is a long way to go to overcome aesthetics.
"Qin, what do we need to do?"
"Mantra! Only by reciting the mantra with firm belief can you get a response from the gods. Alice, Elena, I need you to hold hands, shoulder to shoulder, stand firmly together, throw away all distractions, and complete this ceremony together."
"Um!"
The two little hands were just holding each other, Alice and Elena stood side by side, with a serious and pious face.
"I will meditate here and bless you mantras."
To summon the evil nest spider demon, only two witches are needed, while Qin Song found a flat stone to sit down, ready to enter a state of meditation, to return to the body, and use the void chrysanthemum. No, it was the void giant mouth to complete this summoning ceremony.
"Alice, Elena! The glory of Crem covers the earth; the power of Crem shocks creatures. Everything is wise, and all nightmares will be sublimated."
"Read with me."
"We in Krem in the dream, may your name be revealed, may your kingdom come, may your will be carried out in the world, as in the dream of billions."
Alice and Elena took a deep breath, and the beating fire flashed on their pretty faces, the sounds were crisp and loud, echoing in the deep cave.
"We in Krem in the dream, may your name be revealed, may your kingdom come, may your will be carried out in the world, as in the dream of billions."
"Stay in the corner of the forgotten dream. Nightmare things rely on your will to immortalize.
The door to void will be open at a certain time.
Release that—Krem's loyal servant.
Respond to my call!
Majestic Krem!
Immortality of life!
The same is true for eternity!”
As Alice and Elena began to sing in unison, Qin Song's mind traveled through time and space, instantly returning to the dark and dark deep sea, wriggling with huge and thick feet, surging with sandstorm-like mud, and rising up.
The azure eye of favor shines brightly in the darkness, slowly outlining the outline of the evil nest spider demon.
The huge void mouth under the butt suddenly began to get hot. The wet tongue hidden in the dense serrated serrations stretched out greedily, wrapping the new evil nest spider demon, slowly swallowing it in.
Oh, this damn chrysanthemum is hot - so sour.
"Asking my call!
Majestic Krem!
Immortality of life!
The same is true for eternity!”
Alice and Elena's loud voices continued to echo. At the top of the ring of fire, shadows surged, like clouds, and continued to rotate until a gloomy vortex formed.
And in the center of the vortex, a black and winding trajectory began to shine, like a lightning trajectory. The sacrificed bone powder on the ground instantly evaporated, like a twisted smoke, pouring into the vortex.
As summoners, Alice and Elena could clearly sense the divine power in their bodies, and then boiled, consumed at an extremely fast speed, as if they were also pulled and poured into the vortex.
With the last spell falling.
As the vortex surged, a head dotted with dense scarlet compound eyes slowly emerged, followed by thick long legs and spindle-shaped abdomen with a tumor.
With a bang, the evil nest spider demon fell in the center of the fire ring.
