Waves of flames surged and flames shot into the sky.

Underground in the Magic City, a blazing vein of flame is continuously emitting endless heat. As the Fire Elemental Lord took away the power of flames, this was one of the few places in the world where blazing flames still remained.

At the end of the flame veins, the light became illusory and distorted due to the fiery high temperature, and the flames reflected a huge shadow. It was a figure that looked like a human, but it was unknown how many times larger than a human, as if it had been enlarged to a human scale. Giant, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the crisp sound of hitting, mixed with the crackle of the fire.

At the feet of the giant, a group of undead scholars wearing robes and solemnly dressed were pushing several carts filled with objects, approaching the giant little by little. The car carried so much weight that the axles sunk deeply into the ground. Every step forward required the help of magic.

Approaching the hot Yanmai, the leading undead scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead. After counting the objects in the car, he shouted to the giant in the distance:

"Your Excellency Kalunda, as per your request, we have transported all the fine gold and black iron from the Kingdom of the Dead, as well as the thousand-year clover that has the power to predict the future and is enough to avoid evil and bring good luck, and the entire stock of the war workshop. They are all here, please confirm to receive these forging materials."

Hearing this, the Titan who was trying his best to build the thing in his hand finally stopped his movements and turned his attention to the undead scholars who were close to Yanmai. To be precise, it was the carriage pushed by the scholars.

Kalunda stretched out his giant hand, and the shadow cast by the giant hand was enough to completely cover all the undead scholars nearby. He opened the cloth covering the baggage, revealing the rare ore with cold light and the dazzling light. Gold, and that small part is very simple, but it is shrouded in a magical mist, a magical clover that has not changed even under high temperatures.

Looking at the precious materials brought by the scholars, Kalenda frowned: "Except for the clover, which is barely enough, the other two materials did not meet my requirements at all. These materials are not enough for me to complete the forging. I remember I told you how much I needed, I told you I needed more than that.”

Listening to Kalunda's angry voice and obviously angry words, the leading scholar quickly explained: "Your Excellency Kalunda, in order to meet your needs, the undead have searched all over the country. The materials you see in front of you have been It is all the reserves in the country. In order to come up with these materials, several important research projects in the war workshop were suspended. Lord Cedros was also furious about this, and we have no way to come up with more."

At this moment, another older scholar in the team looked at Kalunda with a bit of doubt in his eyes. He was outspoken and could not help but say, regardless of the disparity in their identities:

"With all due respect, it is difficult for many senior researchers to get a piece of fine gold the size of a fingernail. Now the entire country's fine gold reserves are here. Let the alchemy masters come. If they make good use of this fine gold, It’s enough to create hundreds of fine treasures, not to mention the assistance of other rare forging materials. Aren’t these materials enough to complete the forging?”

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that my forging skills are not good enough and that I am not as good as those alchemists among humans?"

Kalenda stared at the scholar who made a sound, and the thick breath blowing out of his nose seemed to turn into two hurricanes. The scholars had to cast spells to maintain the stability of their bodies. Before the scholars could recover from the hurricane, they heard Kalunda's loud bell-like voice ringing above their heads:

"What I am forging now is the wedding ring that His Majesty Rhodes will exchange with the Dragon Queen at the wedding ceremony. I want to complete the forging of this ring with the highest standards, and I want it to appear in the world as an artifact! You said Yes, you are right. Using those fine gold and dark iron, I can create hundreds of treasures, but none of them are qualified to be called artifacts. None of them are worthy of my forging with such care, and Until now, you have not been able to provide me with enough materials, and you will ruin this forging!"

Under the roar of the Titan, many undead scholars were shocked to the point that their ears were numb. Some even sat directly on the ground and covered their heads with their hands, which made them feel a little better. The Titan's angry roar was like thunder exploding in the sky, and like a bell ringing in their ears. If it were a normal person here, just this roar would probably end up shattering their eardrums.

The leading scholar saw that the Titan was really angry, and the flames in the entire underground flame veins seemed to erupt. In his heart, he cursed the scholar who had just spoken rudely, and then smiled apologetically at Kalunda:

"Your Excellency Kalunda, we have absolutely no intention of questioning your forging skills. We all know that the supreme sword in the hands of the arrogant king was made by you. In the entire kingdom of the undead, you are the only one who has that level of skill. Complete the forging of the artifact. However, we really can't come up with more forging materials. All the materials circulating in the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce have been purchased by us. Even so, there is still a long way to go before the quantity you requested. We also don’t want the wedding ring presented to His Majesty Rhodes to be defective, but we can’t do anything about it. We can only ask you to lower the forging specifications and use existing materials to complete the forging.”

"No... no..." Listening to the persuasion of the leading scholar, Kalunda almost had his resistance written on his face, asking him to lower the forging specifications. In the end, he could only forge an ordinary treasure. It was simply more uncomfortable than killing him. He refused to accept such a result. "If the ring cannot become a divine weapon due to the lack of those materials, even if I sacrifice my soul and die, I will definitely do it." Will do that.”

Sensing the Titan's firm determination, the nearby scholars remained silent. No one doubted the authenticity of his words. Even the scholars who originally raised questions, after noticing Kalunda's unwavering will, I also regretted my rude words, not daring to say such things to a swordsmith who devoted himself to forging.

"Who will tell me what happened here?"

Just when the spirit in the field was depressed and the atmosphere was extremely solemn, a flame suddenly ignited from the side, and a faint voice of inquiry also reached people's ears. Looking at the figure emerging from the flames and the majestic aura of death that almost engulfed everything, the originally depressed undead scholars could not help but show surprise at this moment.

After stepping out of the flames, Rhodes looked around lightly. Just now, he felt that the flame veins below him seemed to be restless. He thought of Kalunda who was making a wedding ring for him, so he decided to come and have a look.

"Your Majesty Rhodes, you came at the right time..."

Seeing Rhodes arriving, the leading scholar immediately bowed and saluted, and then told Rhodes all the troubles he was facing.

"...That's the thing. We really can't provide Mr. Kalunda with those forging materials. Even the materials in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce have been sold out by us. There is still a long way to go before Mr. Kalunda needs it. Small gaps.”

After listening to the scholar's narration, Rhodes closed his eyes and pondered: "Well... so to speak, the root of all problems is the lack of forging materials. Kalenda, how much forging materials do you still lack in total? Let me see if I can help you. solve."

Kalunda looked at the carriage sent by the scholars, made a rough estimate, and then said: "At least a hundred kilograms of fine gold and ten tons of black iron are needed before I can complete the forging of the wedding ring."

After listening to Kalunda's request, Rhodes couldn't help scratching his head. He remembered that when the legendary mage set up the magic circle, the fine gold needed was calculated in grams. Why did Kalunda say it was a hundred kilograms when he opened his mouth? ? Compared with this, ten tons of black iron, enough to arm the entire undead army, are nothing.

If Rhodes hadn't placed great trust in Kalunda and knew that he would never exaggerate about such a thing, if someone else had said this to Rhodes, Rhodes would have thought that the person was deliberately reporting it for the sake of forging materials. Number of.

Shaking his head, Rhodes also saw Kalunda's plan. He planned to forge the wedding ring into a real artifact, and the forging of artifacts is not that easy. Firstly, there are no corresponding artifact parts, and secondly, there is no melted artifact. With the power provided, a real artifact can be forged using these forging materials alone, so consuming more materials is understandable, or in other words, indispensable.

However... thinking that all ten tons of dark iron would be used in the forging of wedding rings, Rhodes couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Those who knew knew that they were forging wedding rings, and those who didn't knew probably thought they were imitating the Dragon King. What about divine power.

Being able to use these materials to forge real artifacts is a good thing after all. Although the materials required are extremely precious, how can the value of the artifact be compared to some cold materials? Rhodes naturally wanted to find a way to facilitate this matter.

Rhodes asked the scholar on the side: "Aside from the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, where else can I get those materials?"

"This..." The leading scholar seemed to be stopped by Rhodes' words. After some hard thinking, he finally answered, "Your Majesty Rhodes, whether it is fine gold or black iron, they are extremely important strategic resources. If it is just If a small part is missing, it may be possible to buy it from the black market at a high price. However, if Kalenda needs such a quantity, I am afraid that even the black market cannot provide it. Only the human kingdom Erathia or the elf kingdom Eri can provide it. With the efforts of the whole country, people can barely fill this vacancy. After all, those precious forging materials do not just grow out of the ground, but rely on people's continuous digging of mineral veins."

Listening to the scholar's explanation, Rhodes seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind and hurriedly asked: "What did you just say?"

The scholar was slightly stunned. Facing the Lord of the Undead's question, he did not dare not answer. He immediately added: "I mean Erathia and Eli. There may be the forging materials that Kalunda needs there. I just want to get them." It is extremely difficult to obtain those materials. People there are not willing to trade with the undead. Even if they agree, they will probably make some rather excessive demands. You must consider this carefully..."

Before the scholar finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Rhodes: "That's not what I mean. You said those precious materials will not grow out of the ground on their own, but if I really let them grow out of the ground Woolen cloth?"

In the end, Rhodes didn't care about the scholar's slightly astonished eyes, and just looked at Kalunda: "Don't worry, maybe I can get those materials."

After saying that, Rhodes used Flame Escape, and his body disappeared completely in the rising flames, leaving only a group of undead scholars, looking at each other in astonishment, thinking about the meaning of Rhodes' words.

Whether it is fine gold or dark iron, they are all hidden deep under the earth, wrapped in thick and hard rock that neither cavemen nor sorcerers can easily cut through. Even if people on the surface can find a vein by chance, it will take a long time to dig it out, which also contributes to the high price of these two forging materials.

In the intricate underground kingdom of Nigon, the cavemen's mining of underground mineral veins only occupies an insignificant part of all the mineral veins in the main plane. There are still countless mineral veins hidden in the dark and deep underground, waiting to be mined one day.

And this is exactly the information that flashed in Rhode's mind. No matter what kind of mineral veins they are, they are buried deep underground. The force that stores the most fine gold and black iron in the world is not Erathia or Eri. It's just that. It is the ground that stands at the feet of Rhodes and for everyone to stand on.

Ore veins will not grow out of the ground on their own, but someone can make the earth spit out the veins on its own. There is only one person in the world who can do this, and that person is the earth elemental monarch who rules the earth.

Like the Fire Elemental Monarch, the Earth Elemental Monarch also unlocked the seal belonging to the Elemental Monarch, but he did not rush to take back all the power of the earth element in the world, but silently carried its power as this land has done for countless years. All living creatures living on the planet are waiting for the moment when the remaining elemental monarchs are completely unsealed.

Just as the fire elemental monarch who has unlocked the seal can easily take back all the flames in the world, no matter where the mineral veins are hidden, the earth elemental monarch can easily find them and let them surface on their own.

If the earth elemental monarch who controls the power of the earth is willing to help, the forging materials needed by Kalunda will also be available. The mineral veins bred by the earth, no matter how rare they are or how amazingly valuable they are, cannot Disobey the orders of the Earth Master, and that is where the power of the Earth Elemental Lord lies.

What made Rhodes feel a little relieved was that the earth elemental monarch was also one of the guests he invited. He had already arrived in the magic city and was resting in a tavern in the city, preparing to meet himself, who had the power of the air element and was also the elemental monarch. The nearby undead who had already received orders would naturally not bother them without opening their eyes.
