Chapter 366: You have burrowing insects, I have technology trees
"Boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The walls of the cave trembled, and dust and gravel rolled down one after another. The dwarves mining in other mines stopped their pickaxes and listened to the movements deep in the mine, and they all became discolored.
"What are they doing?"
"I don't know...have you encountered a monster?"
"There have been no Warcraft in this mine for more than ten years, right?"
"Should we go take a look?"
"...Let's go? Although we won't let others interfere in the selection of the king, it's okay to see?"
"If there is really a danger, we should take action to protect the mine, right?"
The dwarves discussed chaotically, picked up mining picks and shovels, and rushed to the mine tunnel where Rothega was. They rushed to the entrance of the mine tunnel to take a look...
There is no fighting.
No danger.
No blood, no thunder, no roar, not even sweaty mining...
Five dwarves, one human and one barbarian, gathered leisurely at the door to chat. Some were bragging, some were smoking, and some were crossing their legs. Except Rotherga, who was looking deep into the mine tunnel, ready to rush at any time.
As you enter, several others
The most annoying thing is that the human is chatting with the only dwarf girl!
Girl!
A rare girl in the mine tunnel!
He was holding his head with that human being, discussing and writing and drawing at the same time. His eyebrows were dancing, he was talking and laughing, and his bright red twin ponytails were almost flying!
"...Is it almost done?"
"It's almost done." Gretel listened attentively, "It seems that there are no more rocks rolling down. You can go in and drag the ore - Gavin, I will borrow your fiancée for a while!"
"Is it useful if I say no?"
"It's useless!" Jin Na raised her head with a smile. She immediately lay on the table again: "Gretel, keep talking! That steam forging hammer..."
Four dwarves and a barbarian filed deep into the mine. Not long after, they returned with a squeaking sound, carrying a large basket of ore, and fell to the ground with a crash.
Beside the table, large chunks of black and gray ore have been piled into three piles as high as half a person.
"Huh, huh, it's so convenient to use explosives to open mines. At this moment, we have been working for three days..." Prince Rosega wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"It's just too expensive! Forget about mining fine gold and mithril. Ordinary ore is really unaffordable - Gretel, it cost you money!"
"Hey, it's okay!"
Gretel raised a smile. I made all this myself. When we set off, Master Norwood helped me pack my luggage and stuffed the boss with a bag. Use it as you like!
"Is there enough ore? Not enough for me to explode again!"
"Then...it's up to you!"
Grete put on a mask, threw a bubble spell on himself, and got up and entered the mine tunnel. Bernard got in front of him, used an iron drill to cut a hole in the front cave wall, and immediately stepped back. Grete faced the cave wall,
Breathe evenly:
"Burning Hands!"
"Freeze ray!"
"Burning Hands!"
"Freeze ray!"
Gala la la, galla la la, the cave wall was criss-crossed, with large and small gaps opening. Prince Rosegar personally went to battle, dug a few pickaxes, and dug out a medium-sized cave. Gretel went in.
After stuffing the explosives, I clapped my hands and walked back leisurely...
After walking around the corner, he lay on the cave wall with half of his head exposed, pointing at the explosive in the distance:
"Scorching Ray!"
boom!!!
With the assistance of explosives, the mining efficiency soared instantly. It only took the Rothega team one day to mine seven dwarves from the other teams, which required ten days of hard work. And more than half of this day's time was wasted.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for all the crumbling stones to fall down...
In short, while the other teams were still sticking their butts out in the mine and using mining picks to dig out the rocks, Grete's team had already dragged the broken and selected ore, leisurely and walked onto the road.
On the way back.
In full view of everyone, behind everyone was a cart full of cars. - Except for Gretel. When Bernard was about to pour the ore into his car and drag it with him, Gretel was silent.
Opened the space bag...
"What? They've already finished mining? So quickly?!"
Archbishop Geroni frowned. The dwarves are all stubborn, smelly and hard, like the stones in the pit. The Holy See of Glory has been operating for several generations before finally infiltrating a tribe - they still often prospect for mines outside, and rarely
The Black Rock tribe lives together in groups.
From getting close to, influencing, and making friends a little bit, to making the candidate believe in the Lord of Glory, the hard work, youth, and even lives that missionaries of all generations have put in can be said with blood and tears.
In this king-selection battle, the Vatican invested a lot of resources - including mental calculations and unintentional ones - including the rare earth-burrowing devil insect. No less than ten knights died just by surrendering it. To train a person below level five who can use mental power
The priest who controlled and commanded the demonic insects also lost at least five people.
Everything is done to ensure that the candidates of the Black Rock Tribe can win according to normal procedures as much as possible. Only in this way can they convince the public, and in the next few hundred years, they can rule the dwarf kingdom smoothly and make the entire kingdom tilt towards the church little by little.
But now it seems that the Fire Hammer Tribe, the candidate of the king's tribe, is trying to even out their advantage?
"Yes, not only is it fast, but the amount of ore mined is very large." In front of the archbishop, Bishop Klind, who came to report the news, quietly wiped his sweat:
"I saw them with my own eyes when they entered the city. There were several large carts. The dwarves next to me were saying that with so much ore, it was enough to build two sets of full-body armor!"
A lot of ore means there is room for refining, which means that you can refine it over and over again to create the best finished product. Before Archbishop Geroni set out, he also studied casting in the Holy See and knew that this was not a good thing. He knocked
Desk case:
"Let Kai and the others speed up! Pry off the carapace of the demonic insect first and start smelting in advance! Seize the best fire outlet and don't let the Fire Hammer Tribe take it!"
"yes!"
Of course, it is impossible for Prince Rosega to occupy the fire mouth in advance. The ore has been dragged back and needs to be broken, sorted, and crushed. Only after all the preliminary work is completed can the best ore powder be taken to the furnace for smelting.
Unlike here in the Black Rock Tribe, the worms eat the ore and the metal carapace condensed on their bodies can be thrown directly into the furnace.
Rosega and the others mined the ore and originally wanted to process the ore on site. There is a mountain stream near the mine, there is running water, and there is a water hammer connected to a water wheel. With the prince's connections, it is not a big deal to use a water hammer to hit the ore.
Son.
However, Gretel insisted on returning to the melting pot. Not only him, but also Gavin's fiancée, the female dwarf Jinna, also stood clearly on Gretel's side:
"It's much easier to use a steam forging hammer to smash ore! I can do it! Leave this to me!"
