In fact, the forging technology of the Dwarf Kingdom is not as advanced as Sean imagined. After all, their forging history only lasts for eight or nine hundred years.
A thousand years ago, the Dwarf Kingdom, like the Sunflower Empire, had no shallow iron deposits on the surface, and its technology tree had been locked in the late Stone Age.
It wasn't until the Count of Anjou from the Plantagenet Empire came in that the Dwarf Kingdom exchanged advanced iron smelting technology with the Count of Anjou at the cost of countless people's lives.
They joined forces to drive the Sunflower Empire into the desert. After the war, the dwarves began to open deep mines and excavate the iron ore hidden deep underground.
Because of the lessons of history, the Dwarf Kingdom attaches great importance to iron ore mining and smelting technology. After eight or nine hundred years of development and optimization, their forging technology has surpassed that of the Anjou Kingdom.
But for dwarves, eight or nine hundred years is only two or three generations, which is still too short.
Therefore, their forging technology is not that high.
...
And [Armorsmith] Lucy is from Azeroth, and the history of forging in Azeroth has been thousands of years since the birth of the dwarves.
Coupled with the blessing of the system, [Armor Forger] Lucy's forging skills are actually far superior to Bart Stormpike's.
So while Lucy was forging the equipment, Bart Stormpike's expression gradually changed from disdain to surprise, from surprise to solemnity, and from solemnity to disbelief.
By the end, Bart Stormpike's whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
"I...what did I see?" Bart Stormpike couldn't believe his eyes, and even began to doubt his life.
…
Lucy vigorously swung the huge blacksmith's hammer and struck the red-hot metal ingot, and was forging a breastplate.
Lucy didn't hide anything, and gave instructions to the dwarves while forging:
"Your forging techniques are too rough. The iron must be struck evenly and rhythmically, so that the foreign elements mixed in the iron can be knocked out as much as possible... This part of the breastplate must have edges and corners to ensure that the chest is
The overall structure of the armor is stable so that it will not be damaged by an enemy's hammer... The back armor must be flat so that it is convenient for the enchanter to enchant..."
The dwarf blacksmiths behind Bart Stormpike also stopped laughing at this time and stared in stunned silence as Lucy hammered the metal ingot rhythmically.
The whole place was silent except for the "ding, ding" sound of the hammer hitting the metal ingot.
...
Lucy did not completely forge the breastplate because it would be a waste of time. She only forged the prototype of the breastplate and then stopped.
After wiping the sweat on her forehead, Lucy smiled at Bart Stormpike:
"How's it going? Do you understand my forging technique?"
Bart Thunderpike woke up from his shock when he heard Lucy's words:
"Little girl, your forging skills are indeed better than mine. You are the master blacksmith... Oh, no, you should be the apprentice of the master blacksmith, right?!"
Lucy curled her lips, shook her head and denied, "No..."
But as soon as she said "no", Sean immediately said:
"Don't tell anyone! Lucy just ran out secretly this time. If her teacher finds out, he will take her back. Do you understand?"
Lucy glanced at Sean blankly, closed her mouth and said nothing.
"Your Highness Sean, Lucy, I will definitely not tell anyone! Please don't worry!"
Bart Stormpike put his hand on his chest and made a strange gesture, and solemnly promised.
At the same time, the dwarves behind Bart Stormpike also put their hands on their chests and made that strange gesture.
This should be a unique gesture of the dwarves.
...
Bart Stormpike made a promise, but at the same time he was also determined!
It is not unfair at all to lose to the master craftsman’s apprentice!
Moreover, divine craftsmen are only found in empire-level countries. Unexpectedly, the Principality of Lane, which is located on the border of humanity, also has apprentices of divine craftsmen. You must seize this opportunity!
So Bart Stormpike waved his hand, and a barrel filled with strong liquor flew out of the house and landed firmly in his hand.
Bart Stormpike put on a flattering smile and enthusiastically handed the barrel to Lucy:
"Master Lucy, this is the 'dwarf spirit' that is a specialty of our dwarf kingdom. Do you want to try it? If you like it, I still have many barrels in the house!"
Lucy: "..."
Seeing that Bart Stormpike actually gave away the gift he gave him, Sean coughed lightly and said slowly:
"Master Stormpike, what about the promise you just made?"
Bart Stormpike: "..."
He just said that if he loses, he will be a slave to Lucy. At his age, does he really want to be a slave to humans?
But thinking about Lucy's superb forging skills, if he didn't learn it, Bart Stormpike would probably not be able to sleep well for the rest of his life.
So he changed his mind and said seriously: "If you can teach me the forging technique, there is no problem for me to be a slave to Master Lucy!"
The dwarf blacksmiths behind Bart Stormpike immediately disagreed when they heard this:
"No, Master Stormpike!"
"How can you be a slave to humans? Human beings are our slaves."
"Master Stormpike, I want to stay with you as a slave!"
"I'll stay too!"
"I want to stay too!"
...
For a time, the dwarves were excited.
Sean smiled at Bart Stormpike and said: "Master Stormpike, I don't need you to be a slave. Let's do this! Let's make a compromise. You can stay in Riverbank Town for a longer period of time, tentatively for a month!"
Then Sean turned to look at Lucy: "Lucy, teach them some of your forging skills."
"Yes, my lord!" Lucy replied.
When Bart Thunderpike heard Lucy's words, he was immediately elated: "Don't say it's an extra month, I won't have any problems if you stay for an extra three to five years!"
"What about the blacksmiths you brought?" Sean looked at the other 19 blacksmiths behind Bart Stormpike.
"They are all my disciples and they all obey me. Besides, even if you chase them away, they will not leave."
Bart Stormpike looked behind him, and the dwarf blacksmiths immediately nodded.
Being able to learn master-level forging techniques is a great opportunity that they dream of, and the dwarves are not willing to miss this opportunity.
"Okay!" Sean nodded:
"Lucy, the dwarf blacksmiths are under your control. From now on, the task of forging equipment in the territory will be left to you!"
Lucy hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Sir, no problem."
Sean nodded and said loudly to the dwarf blacksmiths:
"Then everyone, grab your tools and follow me. After all, so much time has been wasted."
After Sean finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the mill.
After hearing what Sean said, the dwarf blacksmiths hurriedly picked up various forging tools and followed Sean out of their residence.
Chapter completed!
