Chapter 1089: Searching for Secrets in the Sea of Sand (11)
"Uh...what?!" Palamedes frowned, startled by Father Sphinx's strange request: "You want us...to have a meal
That’s it?”
"That's true." Father Sphinx grinned again and explained slowly: "But this meal is not easy to deal with. The lady we thought we were going to meet is the Queen of Gemstones in South Africa and also the Queen of South Africa."
A troublesome woman who is extremely suspicious and never trusts strangers easily."
"Oh." After hearing this, Palamedes felt relieved. It turns out that this task is still difficult, and it is not as simple as going to have a meal. That gem queen is probably very difficult to deal with, Sven
Dad Kes had no choice but to go to such great lengths to hire help, right?
Anyway, let’s listen to what dad has to say first.
"The lady who wants to have dinner with us is the richest man in Africa, a super rich man with an annual income of 30 trillion from the gemstone industry alone." The lion man explained in a calm tone, without any emotion mixed in.
Approval and no jealousy.
"However, this lovely lady has a strange principle... that is, she will never do business with people who have no family. She thinks that people without family are selfish and unbelievable, so she several times
They all rejected my request. We originally had an astronomical amount of business, but there has been no progress because of this reason."
At this point, Palamedes basically understood the whole story, and he couldn't help but feel funny: "So you pretended to be your son and grandson to us to curry favor with that rich man?"
The moment he spoke, Father Sphinx rolled his eyes and avoided the gaze of the Leopard Warrior: "No. You are not [pretending] to be my family, but you want to truly admit that you are my family."
The Queen of Gemstones, Ms. Cadizina, is a dark elf with a very pure bloodline. She can simply judge whether the other person is lying from the sound of his or her heart. Therefore, if you don’t admit from the bottom of your heart that you are my family, you will definitely
She found out."
(This is too difficult! That woman is a human lie detector machine!?)
"Is there really no problem?" Palamedes frowned in confusion: "After all, we are just sharpening our guns in battle. The other party will see through us as soon as we open our mouths..."
"Don't worry." The lion man smiled confidently: "You can just show your face in front of that lady. When you want to answer the question, just answer the part truthfully. If you can't answer the part truthfully, just keep silent. I will do it."
Finished."
Father Sphinx seems very confident that he can deceive the Queen of Jewels with his sweet talk--even if the other party can easily see through the lie?
Palamedes was still worried and glanced at his father: "This is an astronomically huge business. If we accidentally mess it up..."
"I don't blame you, I definitely don't blame you." The lion man chuckled again: "You were personally invited by me to help. No matter what the result is, I have no right to blame you. In short, you just need to play your role well."
Just play the role. The Queen of Jewels wants to see our family eating in harmony, so you can help her."
Palamedes was silent for a while. He really didn't understand the world of rich people. There were too many weirdos among these billionaires, and their actions couldn't be explained by ordinary people's common sense.
In short, let's obey Daddy Sphinx for the time being and take advantage of the deal between Daddy and the Gem Queen. It's the best thing to gain the benefits of adult beauty at the same time.
"It seems that you have already decided." The Sphinx saw the big cat's compromise in Palamedes's eyes, and stood up happily and said: "Before today's dinner starts, we have many things to do."
Need to prepare. It’s time to get busy—start with table manners training!”
"Huh~" Albert just finished devouring the whole piece of cake, with some cream still stuck to the corner of his mouth: "Are you going to start pretending to be noble? This is quite fun."
"You're going to love this game, kid." Father Sphinx smiled lovingly and handed the tiger a napkin.
At the same time, Cairo's black market.
It only took about two hours. Seglade had already bought a lot of materials, pushed them on a cart obtained from the black market, and walked slowly towards Father Odin's workshop with Solar.
In order to avoid asking for trouble, Solar stopped outside the door and let Zeffel push the cart into the workshop. At the same time that the leopard man entered the house, the sound of Father Odin knocking on the iron suddenly stopped.
"What did you buy back?" The old man looked at Saifer's trolley.
"Some ore raw materials, and," Seglade took off the scarf covering his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and replied truthfully: "Uh... I don't know what they are."
"You paid for it without knowing anything? What a boy..." Dad sneered coldly, and at the same time picked up the sundries in the car to take a closer look.
He picked up some fist-sized black stones and said, "Well, it's a good wootz ore. This can make great wootz steel, but it's very difficult to process."
Seglade remained silent and listened carefully to his father's comments.
Father Odin picked up another piece of something that looked like blue fish scales: "The scales of the Kraken. After being ground and then mixed into the weapon, it is a primitive enchantment that can greatly increase the flexibility of the weapon."
Seglade remained silent, he had no idea what his father was talking about.
Dad picked up another fang as thick as a thigh: "The fang of a three-headed hell dog. Huh, a wonderful thing. Are you planning to enchant the weapon with a fire effect?"
The young leopard man continued to remain silent. What his father said was a bit different from what Seglade imagined. At least the vague image that emerged in his mind told him that the weapon he made would have nothing to do with flames.
"And then there is this..." Father Odin picked up a crystal clear crystal stone and asked with interest: "Isn't this a moonstone crystal? This thing will emit a faint light after absorbing moonlight. Normally
You will use this when making jewelry, but it is not a material for making weapons. Do you plan to decorate the weapons? Forget it, weapons full of reliefs are all made by laymen."
The young leopard man shook his head: "It's not for decoration, I plan to grind it into powder and mix it into weapons."
Father Odin looked at the young leopard man in disbelief: "Are you serious? Doing this may reduce the hardness of the weapon and turn the iron ingots into scrap metal?"
"Anyway, let's try it first, my intuition tells me so," said Seglade.
This time it was Father Odin's turn to remain silent. He stood up from his seat, made space, and motioned for Seglade to come to the stove.
"I don't know what you are thinking." Dad picked up the pieces of Uzi ore and threw them into the basin: "But if your intuition tells you to do this, just follow your intuition.
.We will first refine these Uzi Ore into ore ingots, and then find a way to mix other materials into it. Can you use this furnace?"
Seglade looked at the ancient, dilapidated and charred, but well-preserved stove. While disdainful, he couldn't help but be full of respect: "Aunt Vivian uses a quantum furnace, which is much more advanced than this."
But I think I’ll use this one."
"Very good, you can use it as you like." Dad began to smash the moonstone crystal into powder with a hammer.
The ironmaking process is monotonous and boring. It just involves melting the ore at high temperatures, removing impurities, and then pouring the high-temperature molten steel into molds.
During this process, Segrad separated two more parts of molten steel. One group was mixed with the powder of the three-headed hellhound fangs, which served as the outer skin of the weapon; the other group was mixed with the powder of the sea monster scales, which was probably used as the inner core of the weapon.
And prepared.
In this way, the outer layer of the weapon is hard and sharp enough, while the inner layer is used to withstand the impact and is made to be extremely flexible and will never break. Up to this point, Father Odin can see the general idea.
What is Segrad planning to do? However, what is going on with those moonstone crystal powders? If you want to mix the powder in, you should do it now, why don't you do it?
"Okay, meow!" Seglade looked at the two steel ingots with different properties and said with satisfaction: "It's time to start making swords, meow."
While he used iron tongs to stuff the inner iron ingot into the furnace and heated it until it softened, he picked up a hammer and struck it hard, so that the large iron ingot gradually changed into a fixed shape. Father Odin watched coldly.
, had no intention of intervening.
Strangely enough, the black iron hammer that Segrad got from Odin's father seems to be a magical artifact. Using it to hit the iron ingot is simply more effective with half the effort. It can easily knock out what Segrad wants.
It came in a special shape, and was particularly labor-saving. The blade gradually took shape, and it was cast into a very huge size, as big as Seglade's height, and the entire inner core of the iron ingot was consumed in one go.----
--The young leopard man probably wants to start by making the giant sword for Elaine.
"Huh." About ten minutes later, the young leopard man stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, reaching out to his father: "Where's the powder of the moonstone?"
Dad silently handed the ground moonstone crystal powder to the leopard man, wondering what the big cat planned to do with the powder. The time to add powder to the iron ingot had long passed, even if he was now making the inside
Even if you apply powder on the core, the effect will definitely not be obvious enough. Applying it means not applying it at all.
Seglade ignored Father Odin's gentle ridicule, spread the moonstone powder evenly on the steel core, and then used pliers to stuff the entire inner core of the sword blade into the furnace and burned it again. The moonstone powder was heated at high temperatures
It melts underneath and adheres to the core of the sword like a layer of glass.
Father Odin is even more confused now. There is another layer of glass-like sandwich between the inner core and the outer skin of the weapon. This may have a very negative impact on the hardness and toughness of the blade, and the sword
It also grew a whole circle out of thin air. It was already the inner core of the giant sword. After being wrapped with two layers of outer skin, it would be very heavy and huge, and ordinary people would not be able to pick it up.
