Chapter 115 The secret of the fire-forged dwarf
"Crown of the Mountain?" Theos was stunned when he heard this.
This name is quite grand.
Poland placed the crown on his palm and looked at it carefully. He stared at his masterpiece with a look of obsession.
Theos's system cannot scan this kind of object. But just by himself, he can sense the difference of this crown.
This was different from the equipment and weapons he had seen before. Looking at it, Theos felt as if he was looking at a living creature.
Without letting Theos guess, Poland told the origin of the crown.
A secret about the fire-forged dwarves and the Xilan Mountains was slowly revealed to Theos.
Due to the rapid rise of the orcs, the dwarves, who were gradually at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the orcs, chose to move south.
Only the three major clans, Warhammer, Frostbeard, and Fireforged, chose to stay in the Xilan Mountains.
In order to fully recuperate and recuperate, after many difficult migrations, the mountain dwarves finally found a unique area - the Copper Mountains.
Poland could still recall his ecstatic expression when he explored the Copper Mountains.
The Copper Mountains are extremely rich in mineral deposits, which is a great attraction for dwarves. As long as they have mines, dwarves can face any difficulty.
Without a city, the dwarves can hollow out the mountain and build a city out of thin air. They can turn these useless stones into wealth, or they can cast them into weapons to protect their people.
Among them, the one who has promoted the attribute of dwarves to the fullest, or is the best at it, is the Fireforged Clan.
It was a painful yet happy time.
All dwarves are very united. They dig mountains, drive away wild beasts, and resist foreign enemies...
Although the glory and achievements of the past are no longer there, the mountain dwarves have worked together to re-establish their own glory-Melting Hammer City.
During these most difficult years, Poland, the leader of the Fireforged Clan, achieved a breakthrough in his knowledge and skills of casting.
He became a legendary blacksmith (caster) among the dwarves that has been extinct for almost a thousand years.
People who are not knowledgeable may think that a legendary blacksmith is a legendary strong man and he can also forge iron.
In fact, this is far from reality.
The title of legendary blacksmith is entirely due to his ability in casting.
All legendary blacksmiths can turn decay into magic. They can create items that are completely deviant from common sense, and even create artifacts.
Poland finally stepped into this palace that can be called the realm of gods. He is the glory of the Fireforged Clan, and has also gained high respect and prestige among all the dwarves in Hammer City.
With the help of the mineral deposits in the Copper Mountains and the accumulation of all the Fire-Forged clans, Poland finally ushered in the crystallization of its own technology...
The crown of the mountain.
From the moment it was born, all the anvils and ores in Hammer City let out a soft groan of soul.
Although no actual sound was made, all the blacksmiths at work claimed to hear it.
There is no doubt that Poland's new work has a life unlike any other.
"So, what power does it have?"
Hearing this, Theos couldn't help but ask.
"It's easy to say." Poland prepared to demonstrate it to Theos with his own hands.
He placed the crown on his head, and in an instant, the mountain crown, which was originally golden but dark in color, suddenly bloomed with brilliance.
At the same time, Theos clearly felt that the dwarf in front of him seemed to control something, and his power aura expanded rapidly.
Poland raised his hand and pointed, and the metal materials originally placed on the ground suddenly disappeared. Correspondingly, Poland's aura became stronger.
The magnitude of this change was so small that even Theos could barely notice it.
After doing all this, Poland immediately took the crown off his head.
In an instant, his breath dropped, and the brilliance on the crown also dissipated.
"This is..." Theos is not a dragon that has never seen the world. Even so, he was surprised.
"The Crown of the Mountain can store ores and metals inside it, and at the same time, it can feedback power to the wearer. The more ores you collect and store, the more power you gain."
If Poland's words spread, I'm afraid it will cause most people to go crazy.
"How big is the space inside the Mountain Crown?" Theos asked.
"There is no upper limit. At least, I haven't encountered it yet."
In other words, as long as you can keep collecting ores to give to the Crown of the Mountain, then in theory, you can gain infinite growth in power!
"This is a completely unreasonable item effect." Theos calculated the characteristics of this mountain crown.
Although this world is not very scientific, Theos has been here for a long time and probably has some own judgments about the principles of this world.
For example, here, although there is no law of conservation of energy. However, any force is never generated out of thin air, and there must be a price.
The growth space of Mountain Crown is almost unlimited, and although it must be achieved by collecting mineral deposits, it is still outrageous.
"This is already within the scope of the rules." Theos guessed.
If there must be something that can be explained, Theos can only think of "rules". For a concept that is easier to understand, Theos also calls it "laws".
The power of "law" must exist here, and it is located above all kinds of power, almost at the highest level.
Rather, the existence of the outer plane itself is the embodiment of the power of law.
The plane crystals given to the members by Victor are also the power of law.
In fact, the gods who are located in all planes and have established their own kingdom of gods are the masters of this kind of power.
Following this line of thought, Theos even further thought that the huge difference between legends and ordinary professionals is due to the power of law?
From this perspective, the promotion of ordinary professionals to legend is their first contact with this supreme power.
As is the case with people, so are things.
The Crown of the Mountain is obviously located at such a level.
Theos suddenly thought of a legend, an artifact that was very similar to the Mountain Crown.
That is the Wealth Scepter - owned by Woking, the goddess of trade and wealth. The Wealth Scepter can feedback power according to the holder's wealth, and there is no upper limit.
The Scepter of Wealth is Woking's artifact, so the Crown of the Mountain...Theos looked at Poland.
"It's so good, the masterpiece that I'm most proud of, but it's still not perfect..."
Poland seemed to understand what Theos was trying to say.
"The Crown of the Mountain can definitely become an artifact, but because of my narrow-mindedness and crude technology, it can only be called a legendary item now..."
Poland continued the story that Theos had just interrupted.
It turned out that the joy of breaking through to the legendary blacksmith blinded Poland.
He attempted to create a true artifact, but due to various reasons and deficiencies, in the end, the Crown of the Mountain had huge flaws.
That is the imperfection in the transformation of "rules" and "power".
This was something Poland only realized a few years after the birth of Mountain Crown.
The casting of the Crown of the Mountain exhausted the precious materials that the Fireforged Clan had preserved before the migration, and subsequently consumed a lot of minerals to support the artifact. At most, half of Hammer City's ore production was given to the Crown of the Mountain.
Of course, this is not a one-time consumption. In fact, the ore is not "eaten" by the Mountain Crown, but is stored in a certain space and can be taken out.
In theory, that's the case.
In the early days, this was indeed the case.
With the Crown of the Mountain, Poland's power has greatly increased, and he has become the most powerful dwarf in Molten Hammer City. He has also sacrificed a lot in order to repay his own people. In the process of Molten Hammer City dominating the Xilan Mountains, Poland's
Power has eradicated countless threats to the dwarves.
In fact, this is also the reason why although there are many races in the Xilan Mountains, there are very few individual ferocious beasts.
The good times did not last long. After winning one victory after another, Poland gradually felt that his thoughts and mentality had changed.
He becomes increasingly greedy for precious gems, rare metals and other mineral deposits and is always unsatisfied - far exceeding the obsession of ordinary dwarves with metals.
Poland must keep collecting metals to gain peace, and will become restless if interrupted for too long.
Moreover, the ore in the Crown of the Mountain is becoming more and more difficult to remove, and in the end it is even impossible to remove it. The Crown affects Poland, and removing the ore is almost like killing him.
The disasters and misfortunes of the dwarves, and even the fire-forged compatriots, are no longer his concern. Most of the time, he only cares about the ore.
Sometimes, he would even have the illusion that the ore was edible and secretly try to taste it.
At certain midnight dreams, Poland would suddenly think that he was not a dwarf, but an earth elemental, or an earth giant...
Poland's condition was getting worse and worse, and in the end, the words of his compatriots were completely unable to affect his personal will.
The fire-forged dwarves also became his tool to collect ore, and this tyranny even spread to other dwarves in Hammer City.
To be continued...
