Chapter 321: Chapter 38: Specialized Equipnt
Listening to the High Priest’s unequivocal words, Richard suddenly thought of a record in the research on Magic Dwarves.
The Magic Dwarves hold grudges very deeply. In fact, a Magic Dwarf tribe would even inscribe the nas of their enemies onto books cast from steel, passing the enmity down through generations.
Every mber of a Magic Dwarf tribe would seek revenge against the tribe’s enemies, regardless of whether they had t or how many years separated them.
Only upon the death of an enemy would his na be scratched out.
A vendetta spanning ten generations could still be avenged; such was the universal moral belief among the Magic Dwarves.
Even wizards established loyalty with Magic Dwarves by raising their young from hatchlings.
Having left Gem Palace, Bruto was already waiting at its gates for Richard.
The High Priest had just ordered him to act as Richard’s guide and to lead him wherever he wished to go.
“Take to your warehouse; I need so materials.”
Without saying much, Bruto imdiately led Richard to the material warehouse.
The Golden Armor Dwarves of Gem Palace were not limited to just the four guards; aside from them, there were eight additional Golden Armor Dwarves inside Gem Palace, serving as the High Priest’s attendants.
The High Priest had already passed down orders, and all of the dwarves’ defensive towers were aware of Richard’s arrival.
At that mont, Richard and his party had permission to fly above the residential area of the dwarves.
The location of the Magic Dwarves’ material warehouse was sowhat unexpected to Richard; it was not on the mountain where the Magic Dwarves lived, but on another peak dozens of kiloters away.
Moreover, Richard discovered that the mountain which held the warehouse, along with several nearby peaks, were all covered with holes dug out by the Magic Dwarves.
Standing at the entrance of these holes, Richard could still hear the sound of the Magic Dwarves mining inside.
“Is this where you mine?” Richard asked.
“Yes, my lord. This is our mining area.”
“Then what’s with the mountain where you live?”
“That was a mine before the great catastrophe. The High Priest and the King of Magic Dwarves together drove the Evil Demon into the mine and sealed it beneath the mountain range.
But this also led to the abandonnt of the mine.
That Evil Demon not only turns our Magic Dwarves into Mutants, but it can also transform other creatures.
To avoid unnecessary sacrifices among our brothers, we decided to switch to a new mountain for mining.”
Richard nodded thoughtfully and then asked so more questions about the mines.
According to Bruto, the mountain ranges of the Mirror World basically all had ore veins; it was just a matter of their size.
This notion gave Richard a deeper understanding of the richness of the once Wizard World.
Upon arriving at the warehouse.
The Magic Dwarves had many warehouses, where each type of ore was sorted into a unified warehouse, then uniformly refined into ore ingots and distributed to the Magic Dwarves in need.
The constant struggle against Evil Demon Bruno made the social structure of the Magic Dwarves very peculiar.
The Magic Dwarves mined together, hunted together, the youngsters attended the sa academy, and grew up together.
As a result, the Magic Dwarves often called each other brothers.
After reaching adulthood, based on their talents displayed in the academy, the Magic Dwarves were assigned to various positions, so beca warriors, while others went to mine.
Magic Dwarves implented a rationing system, where the warriors received the highest rations, miners and hunters the next tier, and farrs and weavers another tier below.
Due to the continuous decline in the Magic Dwarf population and the simplicity of their life, the thinking was not so convoluted.
This rationing system worked very well among the Magic Dwarves.
Bruto took Richard around the warehouse, and the array of precious and even extinct minerals almost dazzled Richard.
Richard had to exert his full extent of natural history expertise to find the most suitable minerals among the diverse ores.
In the end, Richard left the warehouse with a Magic Pocket full of ores.
After leaving the warehouse, Richard found a secluded place and used a spell to create a temporary residence.
Standing in front of the temporary residence, Richard said to Bruto and the Witch Hunting Team:
“Next, I need to craft so things. You all stay outside and don’t let anyone disturb .”
“Crafting?” Bruto hesitated for a mont, then spoke, “My lord, we Magic Dwarves are natural blacksmiths; perhaps we can be of so help to you.”
Without saying much, Richard took out two ore ingots from his pocket.
Bruto watched as the ingots in Richard’s hand rapidly lted and morphed into the head of a Warhamr, as if they were alive, with intricate and gorgeous golden patterns.
It would take him at least three days to make such patterns, but Richard had done it in just thirty seconds.
Richard handed the Hamr Head to Bruto, “You’ve worked hard these past days, take this as a gift from . Find a handle and see if it fits.
If it’s suitable, I can make more to share with your brothers.”
Taking the Hamr Head, Bruto clenched his left fist and struck his right chest forcefully.
This was a gesture of respect among Magic Dwarves, second only to kneeling.
Richard waved his hand dismissively, “No need for that, it was a re trifle. After you test it, summarize how it feels to use.
Tell if there’s anything uncomfortable about it; I’d like to improve it.
In a few days, you’ll join in hunting the Evil Demon, and having a good weapon will make the hunt easier.”
Bruto bowed his head, “Thank you for your kindness; we Magic Dwarves will not forget your grace.”
Closing the door, Richard imdiately took out the ores he had selected earlier.
With a simple touch, information appeared before his eyes.
“Raw Material: Heavenly Crystal Ore”
“Extractable Substance: Heavenly Crystal Stone”
[Refinent Cost: 500 Magic Power]
Although Magic Dwarfs also refine ores, Richard still preferred to do the refinent himself using the Miracle Furnace.
There was no other reason, the purity was just different.
The ores refined by the Miracle Furnace had almost no impurities.
Having refined all the ore into ingots, Richard approached the table and took out a piece of draft paper to start designing the item he was going to make next.
He planned to design a set of Fla Demon Armor to be mounted on the Witch Hunting Team’s armor.
The Mutants they were dealing with were of the flesh and blood variety. The destructive power of flas on flesh and blood creatures goes without saying.
Moreover, in the process of researching the wonders of the Fire Elent in previous years, Richard discovered a type of Magic Flas specifically lethal to flesh and blood creatures—white-hot flas that he had used to destroy bodies and erase traces.
These flas were found in a Fire Lizard’s mass graveyard.
At that ti, the flas were burning fiercely on the corpse of the Fire Lizard.
The Nine Star Chamber of Comrce had collected them, and eventually, Richard acquired them in exchange for a Mutated Fla Giant Beast.
The fuel for these flas was the bodies and Life Energy of flesh and blood creatures; the more vigorous the Life Energy, the faster they spread.
They were just right for dealing with flesh and blood creatures that had potent healing capabilities.
In addition, if there was ti, he also planned to make a set of Fla Demon Armor for the dwarfs who were with him hunting the Evil Demon Bruno.
After all, the dwarfs had plenty of high-quality materials for him to lavish.
This is where Alchemy Wizards are most terrifying: given enough materials and sufficient ti, they can enhance an entire team’s combat power singlehandedly.
Unfortunately, in the Wizard World, this ability of the Alchemy Wizard did not fully manifest.
Because Alchemy Wizards essentially turn a wizard’s Casting Ability into an item, and then hand it to soone else to use.
But in a world full of wizards, this ability isn’t as useful.
…
The process of designing Magic Equipnt went smoothly.
Though young, Richard’s proficiency in Alchemy was also extensive.
Thanks to designing the chanic Type One Single Soldier Armor, Richard’s Alchemy had not grown rusty with continuous study over the years; in fact, it had even improved.
This made him very adept at designing Magic Equipnt.
In just one day, Richard completed the construction of the Flathrower.
The Flathrower mainly consisted of a Fla Gun and an Energy Pack. Richard planned to fill the Energy Pack entirely with Magic Essence.
Using Magic Essence as an energy source not only increased firepower but also reduced the volu of the Magic Equipnt—if Magic Essence wasn’t used, Richard would have to install an energy storage device and a self-charging circuit to absorb energy from the air.
Although having an impressively long endurance, this setup would increase the volu of the Energy Pack several tis over and also affect firepower, a loss beyond the worth.
Moreover, the energy density in the Mirror World was very high, and Magic Essence was not rare. To achieve enduring capabilities, preparing so spare Magic Essence would suffice.
With the design drawing ready, the rest that remained was manufacturing.
Since the dwarfs had an abundance of materials, many precious resources from the Wizard World were as abundant as cabbages in the world of Magic Dwarfs.
Therefore, when designing the Magic Equipnt, Richard didn’t optimize too much and instead chose the approach of piling up materials.
Need a Rune Array to prevent the nozzle from lting? Straight up use tungsten from the sun!
Runes designed too intensely, requiring a high amount of magic power? Directly use Mithril for the Magic Conduction circuit!
In the creating of Magic Equipnt, many wizards make designs to reduce material costs. But with ample materials to waste, many designs can be omitted.
With the plentiful materials provided by the Magic Dwarfs, Richard spent two days creating four luxurious sets of Fla Demon Armor, which he mounted on the Witch Hunting Team’s armor.
“Shall we test the effects?”
Looking at the newly mounted Fla Demon Armor, Richard excitedly said.
Makar gazed at the long barrel mounted on the forearm of the armor, especially curious, and lifted his arm.
Boom!
With Makar activating the Flathrower, a two-hundred-ter-long column of fire burst from his arm.
The white-hot flas instantly pierced everything that stood in their path.
Makar was taken aback for a mont, the power of this fire could compete with his own Breath.
And the duration of this fire was much longer than his Breath.
Bruto, standing by, watched this scene with a hint of shock in his heart.
A tube slightly over half a ter long could unleash such terrifying flas.
Such was the might of a wizard!
The fire sprayed for about half a minute and, on Richard’s command, Makar stopped the flas.
Richard stepped forward to inspect the nozzle, which was emitting a frightening temperature, yet showed no sign of lting or deforming.
This was the advantage of high-quality materials.
“Bruto, how do you think this fla will fare against the Mutants?”
Bruto, reminiscing over the white column of fire, said with so admiration, “Such flas, even the Evil Demon King might not be able to withstand them.”
Richard nodded in satisfaction and then inquired, “How is the hamr I gave you working out?”
“It’s very good,” Bruto answered, “Not only is it sturdy, but it also produces flas when swung, which is more than suitable for dealing with Mutants.”
Richard nodded: “Hmm, it’s comfortable to use, that’s good.
Have you decided on your people? There’s still so ti; I could upgrade your equipnt a little more.”
Bruto pounded his left fist to his chest:
“It’s been decided, we will never forget your kindness to the Magic Dwarfs.”
