Arthur retreated to the stone wall at the back before he could barely see the top of the forging furnace with gold rims. He accidentally sat on a protruding rock.
The peak period of the Houston family was in the ten years just after the fall of the gods. In the 6th year of the New Calendar, it reached a point that no other force in the southern continent could touch. This was all due to the powerful forging of the Houston family ahead of other dwarves.
Processing technology and the concept of bellows were first proposed by the first generation head of the Houston family, Holland Houston. Not to mention that the birth of many witchcraft in the wizarding world came from the hands of the Houston family.
Wow...
George couldn't help but open his mouth. Due to the recent use of coal as a new energy source in Brighton City, there were fewer blacksmith shops in the streets and alleys. George had never seen such a huge furnace with multiple circulation bellows.
As expected of being the rich first family of dwarves. Livlan only glanced at the forge a few more times before turning her attention to the two small beds next to it. The atmosphere of life maintained in the underground workshop proved that this place was the servant White and the deceased
The place where Hobick, the last of the Houston family, lived.
White was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and patted the twenty-meter-high forge with great satisfaction. This was the object he was most proud of under the name of Houston, which he guarded. "In our dwarf language, this big guy's
The name is 'Kulonka', which means a man who stands up to the sky. Isn't it shocking?"
"If Jielin were here, she would definitely go crazy." Arthur stood back next to George, and the first thing he thought of was the refreshing girl wearing a straw hat and twin ponytails.
"If Jie Lin was here, we wouldn't be able to enter the Houston family's ruins." George sneered.
White patted the fireplace hard, "Pay attention, hey! I have something to say. That bastard Parrish once commissioned me to forge a witchcraft a year ago. I have been away from the dwarf camp in the southern continent for a long time, and my forging skills are not as good as mine."
Good host Houston, but after a year, we have lived up to our high expectations and still accomplished what we were asked to do.”
Arthur and George focused their attention on White. Just as George had guessed before, White had indeed created something for Parrish. George gave Livlan a wink, and Livlan walked to the corner of the underground cave.
At this time, the less you know, the safer it is. Livlan is not someone who can devote herself wholeheartedly to Arthur. There are some things that you cannot know.
"First of all, Parrish is not here, and it is not my little master who came to get this item. I need to explain to you the danger of this item. You should know a lot about witchcraft, at least you should know about the so-called witchcraft.
Weapons are combat tools used by wizards that match their attributes. But I don’t know if you don’t know the relics of the gods, but they are rare..."
The teeth and gloves of Elricrom, the seeds and clay pots of the Earth Goddess containing hope, and the branches of the world tree they had heard about... Arthur and George were silent and planned to continue to listen to what White had to say.
"Most of the relics of gods usually have some drawbacks. For example, the Gamba owned by our Houston family is a necklace left by the God of War in the Western Continent. Its effect is that it can inspire those around it within a certain range.
Be brave and fearless of death, and improve your reflexes and physical fitness to a certain extent..."
The range is about the same as that of a clay pot, but the effect is much stronger. As expected, the relics of the gods are also very different in strength, as well as the God of War... Arthur tasted the name of the god he heard for the first time.
Another relic of God was known. From the word "pass" used by White, Arthur guessed that this was most likely the secret treasure that Parrish had obtained here. But why in Arthur's memory, Parrish did not remember last year at all?
I don’t know what the effect of the secret treasure he got is, but White clearly knows the effect and function of the necklace.
"Don't think that this item is very powerful. Its disadvantages are also obvious. It can affect people's sanity. After being affected by the necklace for a certain period of time, the living beings will be unable to control their own state and will be extremely eager to kill and bloodthirsty.
If you don't stay away from the necklace for a long time, your head will explode."
Hearing the word "explode" made George's eyelids twitch. George, who had experienced vanguard warfare on the battlefield, once witnessed his white-headed bear personally strangling the head of a minotaur orc with a steel rope until it exploded during a sneak attack on an orc camp.
"What do you want to express? What you built for Parrish also has huge drawbacks, is that what you mean?" George quickly thought of White's purpose in raising this matter.
"That's right." White pointed at George excitedly, just like a student who took the initiative to answer the questions on the blackboard before asking any questions in class. "The magic weapon I made is definitely more effective than ordinary magic weapons."
It’s much stronger, but the side effects are equally severe and even irreversible. You must warn Parrish to be careful when using it.”
Hearing White's warning, Arthur became more serious and motioned for White to continue.
White opened the bottom lid of the forging furnace next to him and got in. The two people outside the furnace were horrified to see him. Soon White came out covered in ashes, holding a fist-sized exquisite gem box tightly in his hand. Arthur and
George hurriedly gathered around. With only the sound of dew dripping on the rocks in the cave and the sound of heartbeats around, White opened the gem box, and a simple bronze ring was displayed in front of the three of them. The three of them remained silent
He stood there and looked at the ring for five minutes.
"Is this... the thing that Parrish commissioned you to make for a year?" George asked in a low voice. He really couldn't see any difference between this ring and the old rings collected in other antique stores. Ya
Although Se didn't speak, the suspicion in his eyes could not be hidden.
Is this the witchcraft White is willing to compare to a relic of the gods?
White hated the feeling of distrust between the two of them. Any real dwarf would know how extraordinary this ring was!
"I have told you before that the magic weapon is matched according to the wizard's attributes, so it will also have a similar appearance..." Have you said that? George rolled his eyes, because Arthur is now
He didn't say this because he was extra serious about learning new wizarding knowledge.
"You should know Parrish's attribute, water element. When smelting this ring, I paid special attention to incorporate a lot of water elements into it according to Parrish's instructions, but as you can see, not only is it not sky blue, it even looks like
It's all too ordinary, and that's the first thing that's wrong." White spoke more and more enthusiastically, and the sadness he felt when he heard the news that Hobik had died in a foreign country had been washed away by the joy brought by the ring.
"Do you know what the second point is? Kid, take out your finger." Arthur heard this and stretched out the fingers of his right hand to White. White took out a gold-plated fine needle from the pocket of his dirty overalls and pricked it.
On Arthur's finger, Arthur's blood with electric current flowed out and dripped on the ring. Purple light flashed on the ring, and an electric current wrapped the surface of the ring. When it returned to normal again, the ring had turned purple."
"Sure enough, sure enough, I am not a wizard so I can't do the experiment. It can indeed change its properties due to different wizards." The corners of White's mouth could not stop rising, and he waved his fist excitedly to express his joy.
Arthur looked at the ring in surprise. He had never seen any witchcraft. Judging from White's tone, the ring ordered by Parrish was probably a witchcraft that had never been seen before. Naturally, he had to take a good look at it.
Study it, and this ring always feels special...attractive... Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch the ring.
"The third point is that it can recognize its owner, and it can lock the bloodline that can use it. Of course, the premise is that the other party is a wizard. Generally speaking, as long as you don't touch it, it won't have the ability to recognize its owner, and I found that it seems to be able to
Storing elemental power, that's just the weird part about it... What are you doing, Arthur?"
White suddenly noticed that Arthur's newly pricked right finger had touched the ring he was holding, and he was in a state of excitement and had no time to react.
A white light flashed, and a violent electric current exploded from the middle of Arthur and the three of them. George immediately threw down Arthur, who was intact next to him, leaving only White standing, his face turned pale, with only the whites of his eyes left, and he had gone into temporary blindness.
The skin on his hands was scorched black. When George saw White's condition, he shouted, "Livlan! Hurry up and get all the healing items you brought, this dwarf is about to be electrocuted!"
