Chapter 163: Dwarf's Carving Knife
The Black Hammer Dwarves began to move.

This ethnic group is very small, with a total population of only 100 people, and only 50 of them are young and middle-aged.

In fact, the Black Hammer Dwarves are not that weak. When they supported the Magic Kingdom and went to war with the Knight Kingdom, their population was several thousand.

However, over the hundreds of years, the dwarf tribe has been constantly split, and many branch races have emerged. The tribe members have scattered to various cities, and then experienced the turmoil 16 years ago. Many dwarves disappeared, and only 100 people reunited here.

Theoretically, 100 people moving should not be a large-scale movement, but these 100 dwarves made such a huge noise that it seemed like 500 people moving.

It turned out that the things the dwarves had to move were too heavy.

Unlike other races, their luggage is heavy and bulky, and almost every family has a large iron hammer, anvil, and iron furnace for forging.

Moreover, their belongings include many heavy metal objects.

Almost every dwarf has a set of good quality metal armor, a shield, and a large axe or warhammer.

Therefore, although they only have 50 soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not bad at all.

To be honest, if Adrian and his 200 minnows were to fight against these 50 dwarves, there would be a % chance that they would lose.

It is very troublesome to carry these heavy belongings.

The dwarves thought about the difficulty of carrying things on their shoulders and hands for dozens of kilometers, and the time required to go back and forth, and they knew that this was not an easy job.

Don't move stupidly...

They took the spring steel that Zhang Jingyi gave them back home and quickly made a spring using thicker spring steel. It was a crude emergency product made by rolling up a circle of spring steel, and it was even a little irregular.

If it were put into modern times, it would definitely be an unqualified product.

But the dwarves didn't care at all. They immediately installed the inferior spring on a wooden frame cart as quickly as possible. They connected the spring with a gear set similar to the spring frog, and connected the axle on the other side of the gear set to several wheels...

In the end, the result was an ugly, huge, stupid-looking car.

"Wind up the spring!" Chief Black Hammer shouted loudly, and the two dwarf warriors turned the handle of the spring hard.

It is easy to keep the little spring used in the clockwork jumping frog taut.

However, it is not so easy to tighten the big spring used in the cart.

The two dwarves tried so hard that their faces turned red, but they still couldn't wind up the spring.

Black Hammer Chief: "Idiot, use your fighting skills!"

The two dwarf warriors then remembered that they still had combat skills, and quickly [Strengthen their Strength]. Red light filled their bodies, and they tried to pull the spring... hiss, hiss, hiss... After exerting strength for a while, they finally managed to tighten the spring.

Soldier: “Let go!”

Patriarch: "Relax!"

As soon as the two soldiers let go, the huge spring immediately began to release power outwards, the gears rotated, and the huge car actually started to move.

The dwarves cheered: "It's done! Our clockwork carriage is a success."

"Hurry, get our stuff up there."

The dwarves hurriedly loaded their furnaces, anvils, hammers, and other items onto the cart. However, when they untied the rope again, they found that the cart would not move.

"Oh, damn! The car is too heavy and the mainspring won't move."

"Is there any way to make it move?" The dwarves clamored, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a group of people emerged from the woods ahead. Zhang Jingyi rode over on a giant red wolf and asked, "Dwarf friends, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, we used the spring steel you gave us to build a huge clockwork, and then wanted to use it to drive a cart to transport our supplies to Gilneas. But... as you can see, the power provided by the clockwork is not enough to push such a heavy cart."

Zhang Jingyi glanced at the ugly car and laughed in his heart: Interesting! A large circle of spring can be seen in the middle and rear of the car, and the two large gears next to it are not even covered at all, all exposed to the air.

The dwarves were clearly designed for practicality, with no regard for appearance at all.

People can see all the designs of this car at a glance.

These guys are really amazing. They just learned how to play with clockwork and they successfully made a clockwork car.

Zhang Jingyi reached out and patted the cart. "If the power is not enough, you can use enchantments. Don't you know how to enchant? If you treat the clockwork as a piece of weapon or armor, and enchant it with a [Strength Enhancement] enchantment, will it be able to move your cart?"

This word awakened the dreamer.

The Black Hammer tribe leader said: "Oh, I haven't thought about your idea before, let's try it out."

At his command, the dwarves took down the spring and handed it to the patriarch.

The Black Hammer Chieftain took action personally, carving runes on the clockwork at a lightning speed.

Zhang Jingyi was not polite at all and immediately came over to learn secretly...

"These runes you carved, do they have certain meanings? Just like the runes in the magic circle?"

"Yes!" Carving on spring steel was quite laborious. The Black Hammer Chieftain used the skill of [Strength Enhancement]. His whole body was filled with red light. The carving knife in his hand moved carefully on the spring, carving out one mark after another.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at the small carving knife and found that the blade was actually a gem.

He thought to himself: The last time I looked up information, I found that the Romans began using diamond engraving knives around the first century AD. It seems that the dwarves are also using diamond engraving knives.

I couldn't help but ask, "Diamond?"

The Black Hammer tribe leader replied with a little pride: "Yes, a diamond carving knife, hehehe! The first prerequisite for enchanting is to have a good carving knife. Otherwise, on those high-quality weapons and armor, an ordinary carving knife can't even make a mark, let alone carve runes."

Zhang Jingyi: “I see.”

Dwarves are a race that likes to chat awkwardly, and they especially like to show off. The Black Hammer chief blew his beard and said proudly, "A carving knife made of diamond is an expensive treasure. It is very, very expensive, and usually only the royal family is worthy of owning it. We, the Black Hammer Dwarves, only have this one, and it is kept in my hands."

Having said that, he proudly rotated the carving knife in his hand so that Zhang Jingyi could see the diamond on the tip more clearly.

Such a small piece of diamond, even a small noble cannot afford it.

Zhang Jingyi went through the information he had looked up in his mind. In the Middle Ages, diamonds were indeed very expensive. Whether in Europe or Asia, the prices were sky-high.

However, in 1866, humans discovered a large number of diamonds in South Africa...

Next, the price of this thing is almost the same as cabbage.

The diamond engraving knife in the hand of the Black Hammer Tribe Leader only costs a few dozen yuan on Taobao, and the workmanship is better than his.

Well, this matter is not important, let’s put it aside for now.
