After successfully obtaining the ore ingot, under Lester's order, Christol and Meredith quickly began to test the characteristics of the ore ingot.
At this time, the two little ones following Morris also arrived at the outskirts of the war workshop.
The Noxian Black Iron Guard soldier holding a long sword glanced at the unfamiliar man in black robes with some doubts. He was about to draw his sword and question him, but was stopped by the veteran next to him.
The veteran whispered.
"That's Lord Morris. Before you came, Lord Morris was the leader of the Shadow Crossbowmen. After that, Lord Morris performed a special mission under the order of the Lord.
You must not offend him. He is on the same level as Lady Margaret. I heard Lady Margaret say that Lord Morris seems to be related to a new elite army that Lord Leicester is planning to establish.
related."
Nodding with lingering fear, the soldier who had just joined the Black Iron Guard shook hands and gave Morris a military salute.
"Lord Maurice, Miss Misha and Miss Xina, please come in, the lord is inside."
Nodding indifferently to the veteran, Morris walked into the war workshop with two nervous little girls.
"Sister Misha, I'm a little scared~"
"Sister Xina, brother Lester is inside, and there's me too, don't be afraid."
Feeling a completely different and solemn atmosphere than before, although the little blond girl in a white dress was comforting her sister, she was also very upset in her heart.
The days are obviously getting better and better, but why do the smiles on everyone's faces disappear, as if something big is going to happen?
Deep doubts flashed through the little girl's heart.
Passing through the guard posts, the three of them entered the main smelting room of the war workshop.
At this time, Christor had just put down the ingot in his hand, and Meredith took over.
After a quick glance at the crowd, Hina instantly found Lester, who was surrounded by everyone and standing at the front. Her face suddenly lit up with joy and she shouted out loud.
"Brother Lester!"
Hearing Xina's call, Lester's serious expression changed instantly. After turning around, it turned into an inextricably gentle and doting one, and he opened his arms towards Xina and Misha.
Seeing Lester's attitude towards the two little girls, even Margaret couldn't help but feel a little secretly disgusted.
After everyone moved out of the way, the two little girls skillfully threw themselves into Lester's arms and acted coquettishly. Misha and Sheena were picked up by Lester with one arm, which also allowed the two little girls to see
A dark red ore ingot undergoing magic testing in the hands of a female mage.
Having never seen such a strange thing before, Misha was instinctively afraid and asked.
"Brother Lester, what is that thing and why does it feel so evil?"
"evil?"
Stunned by Misha's overly 'subjective' words, Lester was noncommittal and looked at little Xina on the right who was huddled in his arms.
"Xina, do you also think this thing is evil?"
Pulling out Lester's head from Lester's chest, Xena glanced at the ore ingot in Meredith's hand and nodded weakly.
After pondering for a moment, Lester said with a smile.
"This is an ingot smelted from the ore dug out from the ground. We don't know the characteristics of this ingot yet, but we will understand it soon. You two have to watch it obediently, okay?"
"Okay~(*2)"
The tense and solemn atmosphere was broken by the two little guys, and the blacksmith apprentices and those in power were much more relaxed.
Keeping an eye on 'evil', Lester did not dwell on it any longer. Seeing that Meredith was still conducting magic tests, he turned to Harold and said.
"This matter must be kept in your stomach. Whether it is the red-skinned mouse in the Shining Silver Mountains or this weird mineral ingot, the news must be completely blocked. Elder Harold, I don't need to know how to do it.
What should I say?"
Knowing that the man in front of him was beating him up, Harold nodded respectfully and said sincerely.
"Lord Leicester, I know what to do. Please rest assured that I am nothing without the Emerald Territory. What's more, you still trust me and appoint me as the administrative officer of the Emerald Territory. I, Harold, am by no means ignorant.
A person who lifts up.”
After nodding, Lester listened to Harold continue.
"So, Lord Leicester, since the mines in the Shining Silver Mountains have been closed, should we go to the Urus Mountains for mining?"
"You are right, the work of mining cannot be stopped, we need a lot of ore to build equipment.
You personally arrange the mining matters in the Urus Mountains and report to me when you make progress."
"clear……"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Meredith also dismissed Li's detection magic, placed the cold ore ingot on the anvil, and looked at each other with Christol.
"You go first, Lady Meredith."
Christor humbly said, Meredith nodded and looked at Lester.
"There is no doubt that this ore ingot has the properties of metal and has a considerable affinity for magic. It can charge and discharge mana for a short period of time. It can be used to make certain magic amplifying equipment or magic weapons. It is a very rare item.
Magic metal material.”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"The weird thing is that these affinities are reflected in the ability to blend and resonate with magic of various attributes. This is also one of the two elements of the 'Destroy Demon' attribute.
Arrows containing this mineral ingot element can easily pass through the magic shield, which is completely different from Demacia's forbidden magic stone. Their white stone completely blocks the flow of magic or destroys the construction of the magic array, thereby achieving
It has the effect of 'breaking demons', and this metal ingot is more like 'melting demons' than breaking demons."
After taking a moment to absorb Meredith's analysis results, Lester asked.
"In other words, if you use this kind of equipment to make swords and armor, can you treat magic shields and magic attacks as nothing?"
Meredith said seriously.
"To be precise, this can be done within the magic absorption limit of the metal ingot.
When the magic absorption limit is exceeded and a maximum critical value is reached, the metal sword will forcibly release the absorbed magic elements in a directional manner, while the metal armor will forcibly release the magic elements from the attack. With a little guidance, the magic attack can be directed towards
The attack direction will bounce back, and if magic is used to forcibly increase the upper limit of the metal's magic absorption, it is likely to cause the metal to explode."
Margaret interjected from the side.
"Does guidance require the user to have a foundation in magic? Does this mean that only mages can use equipment made of this metal?"
Shaking her head, Meredith looked at Margaret with a solemn expression, without any hint of surprise.
"Ordinary people can also guide the direction of the release of magic elements. In fact, this is what surprises me the most. To put it in very irresponsible terms, this metal ingot seems to have some kind of independent consciousness. I am not sure whether this is
My illusion, because when I was performing the test magic, I vaguely heard the call of 'it'."
