Looking at Wagner, who looked suddenly enlightened, Woody was also a little confused. After all, he judged that he didn't understand at first, but judging from his reaction after he said it, he seemed to understand a little.
"Of course, when my grandfather was an apprentice under a dwarf blacksmith, he saw the dwarves using this technology. However, due to other reasons, my father left that place before mastering this technology.
In the city in the mountains, I returned to Palermo to marry a wife and have children, and gave birth to my father. His wish before leaving was that he wanted us to go back to the blacksmith shop and master the blacksmith skills that he had not completed...
…”
"I see."
Woody nodded as if he understood, but he didn't care too much. If Wagner could understand or know about it, it would be of no harm to him.
In the following days, in order to let Wagner clearly understand the quenching process, Woody also took time out of making potions every other day to go to the blacksmith shop to guide him to further understand the quenching process and start operating it.
After all, although there is only one process for quenching, in essence, it is handled by multiple processes, all of which are the essence condensed by predecessors.
The preparation before quenching includes three processes: annealing, normalizing, and tempering, all of which require the blacksmith to have extremely high control over the temperature of the weapon itself. If it is slightly lower or higher, it may cause damage after quenching.
The performance of the weapon has been greatly reduced, and there is a situation where the difference is a thousand miles away. This cannot be done carelessly.
Fortunately, this type of technology may be too high-end for apprentices who have just entered the blacksmith threshold and have only a little understanding of it. However, for a senior blacksmith like Wagner who has been immersed in iron for many years, the quenching process is as good as leaving for him.
A group of mature dragons that have been together for many years meet a young and graceful female dragon.
The blacksmith's memory has given him a deep understanding of every process, and new processes cannot stump him. He can understand them by analogy without being taught, and he makes rapid progress.
However, a minor episode occurred during that time, that is, an earthquake occurred in Palermo.
It was a quiet afternoon. Woody was riding in a carriage and was about to go to Wagner's blacksmith shop to continue to keep an eye on the progress of the curved sword. He could say that apart from refining potions, the rest of his energy was devoted to this customized weapon.
.
However, before reaching the blacksmith shop, or just crossing the bridge, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the horse pulling it refused to move.
And no matter how hard the driver whipped it, it still refused to move forward. Instead, it screamed with its mouth and hooves, as if it was frightened even more than the whipping.
Woody also felt strange, but as soon as he stepped out of the carriage and wanted to check the status, his 17 points of perception allowed him to capture the violent shaking coming from the depths of the earth.
The next second, as if a huge wave came from the ground, the coastal city was submerged in an instant.
The earth shook!
The earth and rocks are wailing together, and the city buildings and people are also wailing like yes-men.
If Woody hadn't been more prepared than the others, he might have been staggered and panicked by this powerful earthquake.
And about ten seconds later, almost everyone in the city heard the thunderous echo in their ears.
——"Boom!"
The most bizarre thing is that this sound, which is like thunder and lightning shuttling in the dark clouds, does not come from above the head, but from deep underground, like a human heart, which is constantly beating violently, transmitting its anger to the world.
However, the shock and sound came and went as quickly as they came. After about a minute, the shock that could affect people's normal actions disappeared, leaving only a human city full of messes and screams.
When Woody saw that the tremor had disappeared, he didn't thank God like the others after riding in the carriage, but frowned.
It is not uncommon for earthquakes to occur along the coast, but it is almost impossible to have an earthquake without any warning. Moreover, judging from the frequency of the aftershocks, it does not seem to be a natural formation. In addition, the strange thunder comes from the ground instead of the sky.
Instead, it seemed like someone was doing something big underground.
In addition, the distance can be estimated based on the speed of sound propagation and the time it takes to feel the earthquake. It is roughly one to twenty miles away from the outside of Palermo.
Could it be that... Woody's brain instantly connected this matter with the underground team that went underground to conquer the drow not long ago. After all, there was a terrifying being in that team who could indeed have such a big impact.
.
——"Legendary level professional."
Even if the most ordinary warrior becomes a legend, the damage he causes can only be described as inhuman. The power of up to 25 points is enough to make him comparable to a large mechanical creation. Although he has not reached the realm of punching the void, but
In the mortal world, nothing can stop him. It only takes a few minutes to demolish a small building covering an area of several hundred square meters with his bare hands.
If you have to describe it, you can imagine him as a naughty kid who has mixed up in a pile of models. No model can be his general, and destruction and destruction can even occur in his thoughts.
And if it is a spell caster, then the fate of Palermo in the previous life is the best proof. Palermo covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers, with four urban areas and tens of thousands of mansions.
After falling, it turned into a desolate ruin with broken walls, piles of rubble and rubble.
However, the reason why legends are legends is precisely because there are still too few among the bases. Just like Asen Lant before the world-destroying disaster, the number of active legends in various places was basically controlled within twenty. Even in
In the plane of Terra, in an era when saints came to the mortal world one after another, it was impossible to ensure that every city passed by would have a legend stationed or swimming in it.
Legend is still a peak that is difficult to climb, but when you are in that position.
Your eyes can no longer tolerate the mountains at your feet.
…
Fungus Forest, outside Takia City.
The human coalition forces have fought with the drow army in the forest outside the city.
The Fungus Forest is a vast forest in the Underdark composed of countless three- to four-meter-tall fungi. This fungal ocean is also called the Mushroom Forest. The Fungus Forest is located two miles in front of the gate of Takia City. It is very important to Takia.
Most of the city wall is in a surrounding shape, leaving only a short exit at the back, and the human coalition attacked from the front.
At this time, the fire ignited by the battle had followed the original fungus and reached less than four miles outside Taqia City. Standing at the city gate, the scorching flames could feel the pressure coming from the pavement.
However, neither the flames nor the poisonous gas from burning fungi had any impact on this group of uninvited guests.
Long before the decision was made to use fire to eliminate the advantage of this group of underground creatures, some group spells had already been blessed on every member of this expedition team with an average career level of over 5.
It is very scary for a city to use its financial resources as a back-up regardless of the cost in certain matters.
The various rays of light from the magic shield visible to the naked eye shone on the bodies of these leather-armored warriors.
——"Protective elemental shield!"
——"Protect energy damage!"
——"Deflect the flying arrow force field!"
——"The majesty of the group eagle!"
…
As humans, whose numbers are inferior to that of the drow, they relied on these along the way to be able to push through the dangerous dark areas to the outskirts of the emerging city of the drow.
Angelina was also one of them, following the large army in the mushroom forest that she had never seen before.
It took her two days to catch up with this underground adventure team that was fighting and stopping underground. She told the leader of the team, a mysterious black-robed man named Goss, about her request.
There was also a very powerful sea eagle standing there. It was the one who told everyone about many underground messages. He agreed to Angelena's joining.
After Angelena passed the lie detection barrier of the spell caster in the team, she was quickly accepted by everyone as a person with extraordinary perception, and successfully joined an auxiliary combat team. The purpose of this team
It is to work with the Templars to protect the casters in the team from being disturbed by underground shadow creatures.
To put it simply, they are early warning sentries to prevent sneak attacks. There is a certain degree of danger, but compared to scouts, they are still relatively safe. Obviously the person who assigned Angelena also saw that she is slightly weak in terms of strength and combat experience.
, rather than fighting, she is more suitable to use her superb perception to capture enemies in the shadows.
This is already the second day since Angelina joined the team, but in just one day, Angelena has had dozens of encounters. She has discovered poisonous spiders lurking on the top of the cave, waiting for opportunities to attack.
, there are also drow assassins hiding in the shadow of the rock wall, trying to assassinate the spellcasting group surrounded by them. With the gain of the spell, the "breath cord" blessed by the almost terrifying perception of Angelena's monk
"enemy" noticed.
Their malice shines like green light in the darkness.
--"careful!"
Although the path Angelena walked was the same as the team in front, it did not prevent fish from slipping through the net, such as this fungus spore that was about to explode. She sensed the danger coming from the road on the right.
He promptly reminded his teammates on the right to lean to the left. Sure enough, in less than three seconds, there was a loud bang and an explosion occurred inside a huge bacteria rod that was four to five meters high on the right, accompanied by a thick powdery mist-like gas.
Spread quickly.
However, as a strong wind blew, the mist and flames blew in another direction, far away from the road the team was walking on.
——"Wind-making technique!"
The casters in the team took action, and Angelena's size also allowed the people in the team to avoid accidental explosion damage.
The spellcaster who cast the wind-making technique did not stop for a moment. Wearing a mage's robe, he continued to chant the next spell meticulously. The battle ahead was already intense.
This is the most difficult battle since they went deep underground.
Not to mention those drow warriors who are also shrouded in the glory of divine magic, there are many spider-like drows with human heads and spider bodies appearing in the fungus forest. In addition, there are dense spider swarms like the sea. If it were not for the flames, they would
A safe defense line has been formed, and I am afraid that all of them would have been submerged in this ocean-like sea of spiders.
There are swarms of sword spiders, shadow spiders, mutant spiders, and even spell-eating spider beasts that specifically target spellcasters, plus the swarms of spiders with an average size of more than one meter each, which can be said to have stabbed a person.
Spider's nest.
However, the preparations for going underground this time are naturally complete. Almost every spell caster is equipped with various spell scrolls, not to mention energy-shaping spells for arthropods such as spiders.
The fireball thrown from the center of the team made a loud noise three hundred meters away. The hot flames exploded the fungus forest into mushroom residues all over the ground, shooting out in all directions. At the same time, the impact of the air wave knocked down batches after batches.
swarm of spider insects.
There have been many more spells like this, and the intensive bombing has made some spiders feel uneasy, and they began to follow their biological instincts and retreat back.
The originally anxious battlefield began to gradually become clearer, but as the team advanced to a place three miles away from Taqia City, the city gate made of drow stone was in sight.
Angelena unexpectedly sensed the malice hidden beneath this land, so she did not hesitate to loudly alert everyone around her.
"Be careful where you step, there's an ambush!"
Sure enough, before she could finish her words, huge and threatening shadows broke out from the ground like the awakening earth. Their red eyes were particularly eye-catching under the tongue of fire. Equally scary were the curved ones.
No one wants to be bitten by the needle-shaped fangs in its large mouth.
"Strayfish?"
Angelina couldn't understand why it existed on land, but someone from the caster team not far away had already given her some intimate tips.
"It's a dormant pseudo-monster! Prepare psychic protection!"
Then Angelina felt that this group of dormant monsters like devil fishes made a cry that she could not resist. To be precise, she did not hear any sound, but the power made her clearly feel her own body.
It's like being immersed in weird sound waves.
Various negative effects came one after another, including fear, stiffness, vomiting, and dizziness, which even made it difficult for her to breathe.
It wasn't until the caster team's "Group Psychic Protection" enveloped her body that these negative effects gradually dissipated, and she realized the horror of these creatures.
It can actually kill people silently without using fangs and claws. What's even more terrifying is that if you have never seen this kind of creature, you don't know how to defend yourself, and its death is even more mysterious.
.
In addition to the infrasound waves emitted through special organs, dormant pseudo-monsters' attack methods are also extremely powerful.
When they get close to an enemy, they like to wrap their opponents with their broad, cloak-like wings to achieve a wrapping effect. In addition, they also have a very flexible tail with needle-like barbs.
, contains powerful toxins and is very dangerous.
Not long after, they fought together with the team of soldiers near Angelena, but due to the reminders of many spellcasters who had been prepared, the team did not cause much impact except for the initial panic.
But soon, a creature the size of more than a dozen adult dormant pseudo-monsters glided out from the rock wall at the top. It seemed that it could not bear to see its own kind being wantonly killed like this.
An even stronger roar struck at the many humans fighting on the ground.
At this moment, after meeting Angelina, the leader of the team named Gos also took action boldly, raising his staff and pointing upward.
An invisible ripple of magic suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Everyone's original discomfort immediately dissipated.
——"Advanced psychic barrier"
The psychic protection that was used to protect ordinary dormant pseudo-monsters before faced this dormant pseudo-monster elder with a challenge level of at least 14 and a personal level of 18 or above. It is estimated that he will be defeated in an instant. If he does not take action, the entire battle situation will be affected.
However, changes often occur in an instant.
The moment the mage took action, a huge and deformed spider suddenly appeared from the shadows. Angelina was not even aware of it, and its front legs covered with evil barbs had already passed through the man's body.
On his chest, his body was like a rag doll being played around by spiders.
It exudes the aura of the abyss and divinity. It is the divine offspring of the Queen of Darkness summoned by Elise's blood sacrifice.
——"Demon Hunting Spider"
But just when Elise thought the sneak attack was successful, her smile suddenly froze in place, because the mental barrier above her head did not break.
It was at this time.
A creature larger than a spider appeared from the shadows.
A living dragon!
His scales were bronze in color and were more than twenty meters long from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. His outline was hidden in the shadows, with only his dark golden vertical pupils shining brightly in the flames.
The legendary battle only really begins at this time.
