Li Wen is also called Bobby, and Bobby is also called Li Wen.
The dwarves know it.
And the chosen ones who finally abducted the dwarves' territory were reincarnated into dwarves. They originally thought they could stay happily in their territory and provide them with soul energy.
And because it was snatched from humans, it gave them the pleasure of confronting a tauren.
But I didn't expect...the babies of the Chosen Ones would ruthlessly abandon the dwarves' wine and hammers just a few days after they got them, and ran away shouting for the glory of Lord Poppy.
What is this called?
The tauren will eventually be tauren?
The grumpy dwarf messenger stood on tiptoes and pinched Li Wen's collar.
"Give me back the tauren!"
"Um?"
"No! Give me back my chosen one!"
Li Wen spread his hands with confusion in his eyes.
"What did I do?"
"You know exactly what you did."
The dwarf with a gray-blond beard blew his messy beard while glaring at Li Wen.
Li Wen smiled and tried to pull away the opponent's arm, which was thicker than his own thigh. "Oh, it's a small thing... let's see what this thing is first."
Pa La ~ Pa La ~
Can't pick it up.
So he could only put a fist-sized piece of reddish-brown substance into his opponent's hand instead of his own collar.
"Na~"
"Don't think that bribing me is over. Let me tell you, your seduction of our dwarves' chosen son will not end just like this... Hey, what is this?"
While the dwarf was talking, he took back his hand and looked closely before his eyes, which was as big as a copper bell. He didn't find anything mysterious about this stone-like thing.
Li Wen didn't know, but since the green dragon wanted the "gem", it might be some kind of magic ore with some effect, right?
It's not that people in this world won't pay for something that looks good, but the problem is that this thing doesn't look good either... except that it has a certain magical value, there's no explanation why the gem is wanted.
Li Wen believed in the dragon's vision.
So I insisted.
"Ore, some kind of ore."
"ore?"
The dwarf held a fist-sized piece of ore and looked left, right, and up. It turns out that every girl is not simple~
"Bah! What kind of ore? What's the use of it?"
I also want to know what the use is...
Li Wen opened his innocent eyes and made up a name casually, "It's called Demon Heart Mine. Can you go back and try it specifically for what it's used for?"
The forging skills of dwarves are unparalleled in the world, and the prerequisite for making excellent equipment is to understand the properties of raw materials.
Therefore, they also have a unique dwarf identification method for various unforged raw materials to determine the various physical and magical properties of the materials, what kind of items are suitable for being made, and how to make them.
Li Wen came to them just to see how this thing could be used.
"Go back and try?"
The dwarf thinks this proposal is okay, but...
"You come with me! I'm telling you, don't think that if you just give me some ore, I will let you go. If you don't return our chosen son to me! I will... I will pester you every day!
"
Li Wen raised his hands, "Okay, I won't resist, I'll go with you."
He also wanted to watch it together.
…
Arrive at the dwarf embassy...
A blacksmith shop?
Li Wen looked up and down at the blacksmith shop and smacked his lips.
"Helen only gives you a place like this to live? How stingy."
"Also exploitative."
Li Wen added as he saw the two dwarves walking out from behind with playful smiles, each holding a big sword that had just been made.
"What kind of exploitation? That's how you humans are, you're so narrow-minded. It's just a discussion. It's ridiculous that your city lord said that you, Sword Wind City, are good at making swords. Look at some of the weapons we casually made, which are all you can do in your life.
Looking up."
Li Wen just nodded, "Ah, yes, yes, bring out more weapons and shields, hit her hard in the face, and make that blind city lord regret it!"
"That's right!"
The dwarf patted Li Wen's arm, and suddenly Li Wen felt pleased with him.
"You are different from them."
"really."
The dwarf who led the way took out the magic heart mine that Li Wen gave him and called to his brothers.
"Brothers, come and see what this is. I haven't seen it before?"
As a dwarf who has been exposed to blacksmithing skills for many years, there are really not many types of ores that he has never seen before. For him, most of the ores have their own value, and they just need to be used in various ways.
This is especially true for those magic ores.
There are no waste materials, only waste blacksmiths.
As for Li Wen, an elite human magic master, the things he can produce must be worthy of his status.
He said he didn't take it seriously, but in fact the dwarf was already mentally prepared.
So...trade secrets.
The dwarf who brought Li Wen over stopped Li Wen's search for knowledge. He just looked at the fancy long sword in Li Wen's hand, which looked like it was made by elves, and said with some disdain.
"This long sword of yours is useless. It's unreliable at critical moments and will break at the first touch. How about I give you a new one? It will definitely be better than this one."
Li Wen curled his lips.
"Does it look good?"
"What's the use of looking good?"
"What's the use of not looking good? Do you think I'm going to use this sword to kill the enemy in a real battle?"
The dwarf moved his mouth and could only condemn like this.
"……shallow!"
Li Wen responded with a smile.
"Human beings are purple."
Li Wen didn't have to wait too long. A dwarf came out holding the half-sized magic heart mine.
"It is an ore related to the soul. It has two functions: causing psychic damage and defending against psychic damage. But the defensive ability is a bit stronger, and it may just be the properties of this piece of ore. If we can get more samples, maybe
There’s more to discover.”
While talking, the dwarf kept glancing at Li Wen.
They already knew that the ore was provided by Li Wen, so what he meant... was that he wanted more ore.
Gems that provide abilities related to psychic damage and protection are rare.
Currently known and commonly used are star rubies and rubies.
The size of half a quail egg, a star ruby costs 1,000 gold, a ruby costs 5,000...
The gems on the necklace hanging around Li Wen's neck are made of star rubies.
However, the stocks of these two ores are scarce, and they require special gemstone skills for processing. There is also the possibility of scrapping during the processing, so there are not many products.
If a new type of ore could be developed that could cause psychic damage, it would undoubtedly be an irresistible temptation for the dwarves.
Li Wen hesitated and thought it was possible.
Fortunately, he had previously classified the magic heart mines that had learned different sources of voices due to Azhi's attack.
The one I gave you just now is from the orcs, now you can try the one from the Grand Arcanist.
"Just wait~"
As he spoke, Li Wen didn't even recite a spell. He drew a circle on his side easily and freely, and a small circular portal appeared at Li Wen's hand.
He reached in and took out a few times, grabbed a piece of spindle-shaped magic heart ore, and pulled out again.
"Na."
All the dwarves stared at Li Wen with wide eyes - are human mages really so smooth when casting spells?
Except for the rune dwarves, the dwarves who did not have high racial talents for spells almost drooled with envy.
The results will come out soon——
There is no difference.
Regardless of whose ambition these substances are condensed from, there is no difference in their performance attributes.
"It's not very offensive, and it doesn't have the potential to hold temporary spells. It's good to make jewelry like rings or necklaces for defense... But if you use a small amount, it won't be very effective, and I'm afraid the finished product will be difficult.
Reaching the level of shimmer, this mineral is far less pure than star ruby, and its value is far behind. It is indeed not called a gem, it can only be an ore. But if it is used in large quantities, I don’t know how much is in stock..."
While speaking, the dwarf stared at Li Wen, and it could be said that it was clear in his eyes.
They didn't care where the minerals in Li Wen's hands came from, or why they had never seen them before.
Maybe magic masters like Li Wen discovered it in some nook and cranny while traveling across the world. They just care about how many new mines there are and whether they can make money from them.
Li Wen shrugged and asked with his eyes as he gestured to the magic heart ore that was grabbed by the dwarf's left and right hands.
"If you used the ore in your hand to create a piece of equipment, what would you create?"
The dwarf shook the two half pieces of magic heart ore in his hand, "Maybe, a belt?"
