Chapter 68 God-Given Black Iron Ore
The inside of the mine was narrower than Han Shuo had imagined. The dwarves were relatively short and could walk freely inside, but Han Shuo felt a bit inconvenient. Even with the lighting of oil lamps along the way, the inside of the mine was still very dark.
After walking for a few minutes, Han Shuo had to bow his body. The more he walked inside, the damper and darker it became. There were gravels everywhere on the ground. When Han Shuo found it difficult to walk with his body bent, the three dwarves finally stopped. down.
A few dwarves in front, holding shovels and hammers in their hands, are mining hard, and the sound of "jingling" can be heard endlessly. When they found Han Shuo coming in, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and looked at Han Shuo suspiciously.
"Through these narrow passes, the entrance of the cave will become wider and wider. Although there are more iron ore and copper mines inside, but when moving, stones will fall from the top. It collapsed once a few days ago. It took us a lot of effort to reconnect the mine." Bennett leaned against the hard rock wall tiredly, looking at Han Shuo and explaining.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo said, "Okay, you guys need to make some space, I'm going to summon the skeleton warriors, and let the skeleton warriors go in to mine ore."
Following Han Shuo's order, the dwarves in the innermost retreated out one after another. When there was no more dwarves inside, Han Shuo chanted the undead magic spell, and a series of seven skeleton warriors appeared in the passage one after another, directly blocking the entrance of the passage.
It turned out that Han Shuo could only control six skeleton warriors, but after meditating on his spiritual power through the green ball for the past few days, his mental power has obviously improved again, and now he can control seven skeleton warriors.
"Put your shovels and hammers on the ground, and I will let the skeleton warriors use your tools to mine ore from the innermost part." After the seven skeleton warriors appeared, Han Shuo looked at the dwarves who had retreated and said.
Hearing what Han Shuo said, these dwarves hesitated for a moment. Under Bennett's persuasion, they threw the ore mining tools in their hands away one by one. Han Shuo manipulated the skeleton warrior to let the skeleton warrior throw away the bone knife in his hand, pick up the ore mining tools on the ground, and bowed one by one, slowly walked deeper into the mine.
A "wraith" was released, and following Han Shuo's order, it floated into the depths of the mine together with the skeleton warriors. With the help of this "wraith", Han Shuo can observe the scene around the "wraith". With the "wraith" leading the way, Han Shuo can personally observe the scene deep in the mine.
Sure enough, as the dwarves said, the skeleton warriors squatted down and walked slowly through an extremely narrow hole. see clearly.
After the "Wraith" and the skeleton warriors walked a long distance, when Han Shuo felt that he could no longer control these dark creatures, he couldn't help but gave the task of digging ore. According to the visual medium of "Wraith", Han Shuo concentrated his mental strength and manipulated the seven skeleton warriors to beat some ore around them.
Accompanied by the actions of the skeleton warriors, there was a loud "jingling" sound from inside. After a while, Han Shuo clearly felt with the help of the "wraith" that the stones on the top of the mine were a little loose due to the excavation of the skeleton warriors. Loosen, a few big stones fell directly, smashing a skeleton warrior into a pile of broken bones.
Concentrating his mental strength, Han Shuo stood in front of the dwarves with his eyes closed, carefully manipulating the skeleton warriors, floating the "Wraith" on the top of the cave, and carefully observing the loose boulders. Skeleton warriors dodge.
After a long time like this, another skeleton warrior was directly smashed to pieces by a big stone. Han Shuo's mental power was so exhausted that he felt a little dizzy in his head.
The mining of ore was stopped, and some ore crushed on the ground were picked up and started to be transported to the back.
When the five skeleton warriors moved the ore mined on the ground to the narrow pass one by one, the dwarves on Bennett's side called out and walked towards the pass one by one without waiting for Han Shuo's order. , also picked up the ore there, and carried it to Han Shuo in a safe direction.
After a few more minutes, Han Shuo felt that his mental strength could no longer support the skeleton warrior's continuous work, so he immediately issued a spell, sending the remaining skeleton warriors and the "wraith" back to different time and space.
By this time, dozens of ores, large and small, had already been placed in the hole in front of Han Shuo. Several dwarves cheered and scrambled to crush the ores and put them into the big pockets on their backs.
"Oh, dear friend, because of your help, today's harvest is more than the ore we get in a week. These lovely iron ore and steel ore can be forged into beautiful weapons after refining. This is really a blessing It’s something.” Although Bennett was injured and physically exhausted, he is now in surprisingly good spirits. Looking at those companions, he happily smashed the ore and picked it up, expressing his gratitude to Han Shuo excitedly.
The other dwarves, while excitedly picking up these ores, laughed and took out the fine wine they carried with them, poured it into their mouths happily, and let out a bold "grunt" sound.
"Oh, my God, what is this, what is this?" Suddenly, one of the dwarves screamed at a high decibel, and this scream attracted all the dwarves, and this dwarf rushed forward one by one.
Han Shuo was also taken aback, and looked at the dwarf involuntarily, but he was already surrounded by other dwarves, so Han Shuo couldn't see anything. He secretly speculated that something happened, right?
Just when Han Shuo was guessing suspiciously, that Bennett suddenly lost his composure and laughed wildly. Even the wine bag containing the wine in his hand was thrown into the air by him dancing, and an extremely excited high-pitched cheer came from his mouth: " Black iron, damn black iron, I'm sure it's really black iron, my God, there is black iron ore in it, the village chief will go crazy if he finds out!"
The other dwarves blushed when they heard what Bennett said. They danced involuntarily, and frantically knocked on the surrounding stone walls with their hammers, making a loud roar, which shocked Han Shuo.
Hearing what Bennett said, Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that these dwarves must have obtained the wonderful metal, which made them so excited, and secretly happy in his heart.
After a while, these dwarves gradually calmed down. At this time, Han Shuo asked, "Bennett, what kind of ore is this black iron? Is it very precious?"
Bennett kept nodding like a chicken pecking rice, and said excitedly: "Of course, it is very precious, extremely precious! The density and hardness of black iron are the greatest among all ores, but its quality is the smallest among all metals. Moreover, it will never rust, and can change its color by adding other materials, it is the best material for making weapons, this is a gift from God to us!"
Han Shuo was about to say some words of congratulations when suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and a memory flooded in. Based on the properties of this black iron, he suddenly understood that this black iron was actually a part of Chu Canglan's memory to forge magic treasures. A precious material - dark iron.
Although black iron and black iron have different names, according to Bennett's description and comparison with Chu Canglan's memory, he immediately understood that the two ores with different names should refer to the same thing, Bennett said The black iron is also the black iron that Chu Canglan mentioned in his memory.
"Unfortunately, there is only a small piece, which seems to be only enough to be forged into a small dagger." After the excitement, Bennett looked at the black iron in the dwarf's hand and said with some regret.
"Bennet, don't be too discouraged, there must be black iron inside, maybe we can get a bigger piece next time, so that we can create the sharpest weapons!" said the dwarf Benson.
"Dear friend, thank you for your help. We are willing to share our mine with you. Can you continue to help us? We are willing to share the mined ore with you." Hearing what Benson said, Bennet couldn't help but Looking longingly at Han Shuo, he begged.
"I'm very glad that you trust me so much, and I'm happy to help you, but I'm too tired today, I want to rest for a night, and come back to continue mining with you tomorrow, okay?" Han Shuo was happy in his heart, humbly Say it to Bennett.
"Of course, of course. Early tomorrow morning, we will come here with the village chief, and I hope you can come here again!" Bennett said hastily.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo smiled and said, "Then, see you tomorrow!"
After saying this, Han Shuo walked towards the entrance of the mine without taking a single piece of ore, leaving behind a few excited dwarves, who continued to drink heavily.
