Chapter 1,281 Do you want to go back to Bronzebeard Castle?
Looking at Alanna who was in a drunken sleep state.
Zong Shen fell into deep thought.
"I'll kill even the gods to show you..."
He chewed this sentence over and over in his heart, and he could feel King Arthur's strong self-confidence from it.
But what is even more interesting is the information revealed in King Arthur's words.
After all, he is the best among the "lords" of the previous generation.
Zong Shen still attached great importance to his words.
The previous brief conversation contained several key pieces of information.
First, King Arthur did not die.
But his status is very special, and he seems to have become a part of some arrangement of the lord system.
Second, the Alanna in front of her, or Princess Anne, possesses the power of King Arthur's blood and a trace of will in her body. Mastering Anne is equivalent to mastering part of King Arthur's power in this era.
Anne is the key to the wealth left by King Arthur.
Of course, she can also be regarded as King Arthur's successor in the new era.
Third, if the trace of King Arthur's will hidden in Anne's body breaks out, it will have a fighting power comparable to that of a god.
Judging from the promise he gave, there is no problem in killing at least the lower gods.
Fourth, King Arthur clearly mentioned that several major human kingdoms today are "big fat pigs" trained for the new generation of lords, which indirectly proved Zong Shen's previous speculations.
That is, the previous generation of lords did not achieve the expectations or certain goals of the lord system.
The kingdom they left behind and the giant cities within it were also controlled by mysterious powers, suppressing internal conflicts that might break out at any time, and developed in an extremely abnormal way for thousands of years.
In this way, he accumulated a huge amount of wealth.
Enough to give every lord a chance to carve it up.
This wealth will eventually be transformed into the resources for the lord's rapid rise through various methods.
Without this prerequisite, no matter how many privileges the lord system provides, it will be difficult for the new generation of lords to have the opportunity to break their shackles.
As for the ultimate goal of the lord system.
Zong Shen also had some vague guesses.
It is nothing more than a kind of selection and training.
As long as the selection results are not up to standard, this lord game will continue.
And similar selections don’t only happen in the Endless Continent.
I'm afraid there are many, many more training grounds like this.
Alpha and beta are proof of that.
But for the mysterious power that overpowers everything, quantity has long lost its meaning.
Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shen stood up and came to Alanna's side, holding her waist and picking her up.
The next moment he disappeared.
…
Send Alanna back to her home.
As the person in charge of the territorial tailoring workshop, she has a separate five-story stone house in the inner circle.
There are hundreds of square meters of living area, plus a small garden of dozens of square meters.
Such a configuration can be regarded as luxurious even if it is placed in the territory.
She cultivated two small flower fields in the small garden.
Many flowers were planted.
With the help of natural magic, these flowers bloomed luxuriantly.
There is also a morning glory planted on the windowsill on the second floor of the house.
Zong Shen took her to the bedroom.
The first breath of air smelled had a faint scent of morning glory.
When she was in the palace, besides tailoring, Anne's favorite thing was gardening and flowers.
This is why she can do nothing in the agricultural area and stay quietly all day without feeling bored.
He gently placed Annie on the neat bed.
Just as she was about to let go and close her eyes tightly, Annie suddenly hooked her arms around his neck.
"Father, mother..."
"Can you hug me again?"
She murmured unconsciously.
Zong Shen raised his eyebrows slightly and carefully let go of his hand.
Standing beside the bed, he looked at Anne who was sleeping.
The facial disguise belonging to Alana's identity makes her look particularly ugly.
But Zong Shen was able to see through this disguise and see her kind and simple nature.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Anne Pendragon was the most innocent person he had ever met.
This kind of simplicity and peace comes completely from the heart.
No matter in terms of scheming or ability, she cannot compare with her brothers and sisters.
All she has is kindness and simplicity.
After standing silently for a while, Zong Shen flashed away and left the place.
…
In the blacksmith matrix.
This place is comparable to an industrial park.
If the quality is not enough, the quantity must be improved.
Seventy-two fourth-level blacksmith shops, nineteen fifth-level blacksmith shops, and six sixth-level blacksmith shops form a matrix.
The sixth-level blacksmith shop in the center is where the dwarf uncle Bronzebeard Jiuhuo personally sits.
Since joining the territory, he has rarely participated in battles, and he has been doing the same job as the Bronzebeard dwarves.
As a dwarf blacksmith with a high-level professional title, he has a natural love for casting.
Alcohol, gun smoke and sparks from the furnace are almost integrated into the blood of the dwarves.
For Tongbeard and Jiuhuo, blacksmithing is not a boring job, but a pastime that one will never get tired of.
During this time, his skills also improved greatly.
Through the study and training in [Knowledge School], his professional ability has reached a higher level.
However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the special level.
According to the existing equipment drawings in the territory, the current level six blacksmith shop, under the guidance of the senior blacksmith, can already produce a lot of rare-level equipment in batches.
For example, the equipment blueprint [Brave Shield (Purple)] that Zong Shen obtained very early.
Now this kind of shield has been popularized for a long time, and there are even surplus parts for sale.
In addition to the dwarf uncle, there are currently several senior blacksmiths in the territory.
Through talent recruitment, the shortage of technical talents in the territory has been significantly alleviated.
After seeing Zong Shen, Bronzebeard Jiuhuo dropped the forging hammer on the workbench without looking back.
"Lord Lord!"
He immediately came to Zong Shen to greet him.
After Zong Shen smiled and nodded, he asked in a mysterious voice.
"Have you brought your wine?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands with an expectant look on his face.
Let's not talk about wine first. Only the dwarf uncle in the territory would talk to Zong Shen like this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zong Shen was not surprised, but smiled slightly.
Then he took out five bottles of purple rare-level wine and one bottle of orange legendary-level wine from the storage compartment.
To be honest, these drinks have certain beneficial effects.
Some of the benefits are even much better than alchemical potions of the same level.
It just lasts for a short time and often comes with certain debuffs.
For example, reducing voluntary control, etc.
But overall, the gains are greater than the debuffs.
It is no exaggeration to say that these fine wines can be sold at good prices in the [market].
If it had been anyone else, Zong Shenke might not have given it.
But the dwarf uncle is different.
He and Zong Shen originally became friends because of drinking.
With this relationship, Zong Shen was willing to give him good wine.
He put the bottles of good wine back into the storage compartment.
After the [Hero Emblem] in the territory became abundant, the dwarf uncle was transformed into a hero-level talent, possessing a large number of privileges and portable storage compartments.
This is also the reason why his status is higher than other blacksmiths.
"Hey, it seems you are in a good mood."
"I saw a lot of new people joining the territory last night."
"Your offensive must be going smoothly."
Speaking of which, the dwarf uncle's name for Zong Shen also changed several times.
In the early days, he was stronger than Zong Shen and almost never used the honorific "you".
Later, he was convinced by Zong Shen.
Hearing what the dwarf uncle said, Zong smiled and nodded.
"The territory will soon develop into a giant city."
He said bluntly.
After pondering for a while, he added.
"The number of warriors in the territory has increased sharply, and I need the blacksmith shop to have higher and more stable output."
Zong Shen said and took a look at the sixth-level blacksmith shop.
Rows of furnaces burn raw metal.
Hot orange lights up the ground.
Even with the exhaust system built with wind runes, the blacksmith shop was still stuffy.
When talking about business, the dwarf uncle's expression became serious.
"If you want to mass produce, it's not enough to rely on manufacturing drawings alone."
"Currently there is no shortage of most forging materials in the territory."
"If you can get a specific equipment mold, you can stably mass-produce the specified equipment."
"Those large forging workshops and the kingdom's standard equipment are all made with molds."
"With the casting mold, even a junior blacksmith can complete advanced work."
The dwarf uncle mentioned a new thing that Zong Shen had never been exposed to before.
"Equipment mold?"
He asked subconsciously.
The dwarf uncle nodded.
"Yes, equipment mold."
It seems that this thing is the key to mass production of standard equipment.
The lord has not yet come into contact with the conditions for equipment casting.
There is no such thing as a casting mold in the currently known channels for obtaining items.
What I got were mainly various types of drawings.
“Where can I get a cast?”
Now that the dwarf uncle knows the relevant clues, he doesn't need to ask the strategy module anymore.
This question is not complicated, the dwarf uncle answered almost without thinking.
"The Dwarf Foundry Guild of the Three Keeps of Dark Iron Keep, Wildhammer Keep, and Bronzebeard Keep."
"There are also those master blacksmiths who generally master the art of making equipment molds."
Zong Shen nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
The concept of casting mold is not difficult to understand.
Mold casting technology is used in the production of many mechanical parts on earth.
The efficiency of using molds is definitely much higher than manual knocking production.
It's like a fixed version of the manufacturing diagram with no professional skill threshold.
With the casting mold, even a junior blacksmith can make equipment that only a senior blacksmith can master.
But now it seems that there are barriers to making casting molds.
You have to go to the three castles near the strong wall of the gods, or find a master blacksmith.
Speaking of the location of the Three Fortresses, Jackdaw Valley is not far from there.
Only a few tens of thousands of kilometers.
At this time, he remembered the life experience of the dwarf uncle again.
He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and looked at the dwarf uncle Bronzebeard Jiuhuo with a playful expression.
Seeing Zong Shen's expression, the dwarf uncle couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Uncle."
"Do you want to go back to Bronzebeard Keep?"
The dwarf uncle was expelled from the tribe because of his mistakes.
Zong Shen still clearly remembers his initial attribute information and notes.
[Exile: Bronzebeard·Wine and Fire]
[Race: Dwarf]
【Age: 37】
【Special Dwarf Warrior】
[Qualification: Rare Level]
[Level: lv47]
[Attribute: (cannot be viewed while banned)]
(A dwarf warrior from the Bronzebeard clan, addicted to alcohol. He was once the son of Bronzebeard Steelhammer, the previous chief of the Bronzebeard clan. When he was only 16 years old, he could seize the artifact Storm Hammer left by the original King of the Hill.
, is the most talented dwarf warrior of the Bronzebeard clan in hundreds of years, and has the potential to become the king of the hill.
However, because of a drunken moment, he lost the Storm Hammer in Jedi Thunder Valley. This was an unforgivable sin. The powerful Storm Hammer has been passed down as an artifact of the clan to this day. As a punishment, it also involved the internal fighting of the Bronzebeard clan.
, he was eventually exiled by the tribe, and his fighting power was extracted and sealed with the power of his ancestors, and he was sealed in the clan's ancestral land.
The Bronzebeard Clan is the oldest clan among the dwarves, evolving directly from the Ironforge Clan. Only the strongest warriors in the tribe's history will be awarded the title of King of the Hill.
If you can go deep into the ancestral land of the Bronzebeard clan and retrieve the forbidden power of Bronzebeard and Wine and Fire, then you will get a hero with powerful strength. Back then, he was holding the Storm Hammer and Laruf Rock Battle Ax.
King, even the giant dragon dare not make a mistake)
…
Yes, the dwarf uncle’s information prefix at that time was [Exile].
And his background is not small.
He is the son of the previous chief, Bronzebeard Steelhammer.
At the age of 16, he could grab the Storm Hammer, the Bronzebeard's artifact, and he had the hope of becoming the new King of the Hill.
However, due to his youth, frivolity and addiction to alcohol, Stormhammer was eventually lost in the Jedi Valley called Thunder Valley.
Therefore, he was banished and banned from fighting.
In other words, the original dwarf uncle at least has the potential to grow into a legendary high-level one.
If the Stormhammer can be recovered, the dwarf uncle will regain his strength.
And a chance to become the new King of the Hill and leader of the Bronzebeard Clan.
This deal is much more cost-effective than leaving the dwarf uncle in the territory to forge iron.
As long as you get the support of the Bronzebeard tribe, you are equivalent to getting countless high-level dwarf blacksmiths.
So Zong Shen planned to take the dwarf uncle back to Bronzebeard Castle after completing the exploration of the ruins around the territory and settling down the population of Lentax.
Go to Thunder Valley again and retrieve the Storm Hammer.
If the dwarf uncle can become the next clan leader and king of the hill of the Bronzebeard clan.
This means that Zong Shen indirectly controls the entire Bronzebeard Department.
The gains from this are absolutely huge, even far exceeding the gains from plundering a huge city.
After all, Bronzebeard Castle, as the orthodox among the three castles, represents the glory of the entire dwarf race.
With Zong Shen's current ability, he can definitely retrieve the Storm Hammer.
Hearing Zong Shen's words, the dwarf uncle suddenly froze on the spot.
The expression on his face changed several times.
Sometimes I am melancholy, sometimes I am worried, and sometimes my face is filled with memories.
Zong Shen didn't bother him, but quietly waited for his answer.
