Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 34: Dwarven Technology, Obsidian
“This is also a way to make money.”

Levi thought as he looked at the five diamonds in his hand.

The diamonds synthesized on the workbench are not only large in size, but also of excellent quality. No matter what the quality was before synthesis, it will be top quality after synthesis.

Collect diamonds of average quality, synthesize them, and then sell them.

This is a very profitable business.

But you can't do this kind of thing too much, otherwise it will depreciate.

All the diamonds that are openly for sale in this area should have been sold out by myself. If I want more, I may have to wait for subsequent replenishment.

Of course, the dwarves’ diamond reserves cannot be limited to this amount, especially since the dwarves here do not live in poverty.

But they probably never thought that someone would buy so much at one time, and only buy raw materials and not finished products.

"obsidian…"

Now that we have a way to obtain diamonds, the next thing to do is to deal with another item.

This thing is usually useless, and there are no dwarves left.

Then we can only start from somewhere else.

Let's get some lava.

Levi found the blacksmith who had shown him the way before.

"Do you have any lava here? I want to get a bucket."

"No, what do you want that for?"

The blacksmith racked his brains but couldn't figure out what a traveler would need lava for. Was he going to take it away as a souvenir? That was ridiculous.

"I really do need it."

"No no!"

"How much is this sword?"

After a moment, Levi bought the only sword in the shop and asked again, "Just one barrel is fine. I can pay for it."

This sword is indeed not cheap.

But as for money, although Levi never carries much with him, with Levi's productivity, he can make a lot of it at any time if he wants.

All I can say is spend when you want to, don’t save at all.

The blacksmith looked at him and finally said with relief: "Well, I have a brother working in the smelting plant, he can help you get some."

Seeing that the task could be done, Levi was relieved. If it still couldn't be done, he would plan to bring more supplies to try to dig directly into the mantle. The mantle... it's not certain whether one can survive in such an extreme environment.

Taking advantage of the free time, the blacksmith took Levi to the depths of the hall. After going around several turns and almost making Levi dizzy, a spacious forging hall finally appeared in front of them.

"Hey, old man, how are you today?"

"Not bad." In front of the large furnace in the middle of the forge hall, a dwarf wiped his sweat and swung his hammer to hit a piece of armor.

After a while, he stopped when he finished this small stage of the work, came over and formally greeted the blacksmith.

"Who is this?" He looked at Levi.

"My guest wants a bucket of lava. See if you can help him."

"That's easy, but is magma enough?"

"Yes." Levi answered immediately and took out a bucket.

"Just fill this bucket."

"Okay, weird request."

After chatting with his old friend for a while, the blacksmith went back, after all, he still had business to run in the shop.

On this side, Levi looked at the various equipment in the forging hall and felt itchy.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch it. If you don't want your fingers to get burned, stay away."

The dwarf kindly gave a reminder.

But Levi touched it anyway.
-
1.

"Hush-huh-"

Hot, hot, hot, hot.

[Special multi-block structure "Dwarf Furnace Array" detected]

[New synthesis formula unlocked]

it is good! !

At this moment, Levi finally got what he wanted.

"You are even more reckless than the most reckless dwarf I have ever seen!" The dwarf next to him said while adding fuel and stones to the furnace. Levi laughed and focused all his attention on the synthesis table.

Furnace Array, this is a multi-block structure that can be used to smelt some special metals and liquids.

For example, magma.

All you need to do is put in some fuel and enough cobblestone to artificially create magma.

Just like the dwarf next to him is doing now.

"Can I take a tour here?"

Looking at the pile of large equipment nearby, Levi was very excited.

"You can look, but you are not allowed to touch."

"Ok."

Levi took a look around and soon, several multi-block structures appeared in the synthesis table. These were all technologies unique to the dwarves.

With these things, the ore burning process will be much faster in the future, and dwarf series weapons and equipment can also be forged.

It is worth mentioning that most of the dwarves' weapons are heavy weapons, such as battle axes, throwing axes, hammers, etc. In fact, dwarves also like to use these.

Levi guessed that the sword in the blacksmith shop might not be easy to sell, and only when he met someone willing to buy it did he agree to help out a little.

In addition to weapons, Levi also obtained higher-level tools.

Dwarven Steel Mining Pickaxe.

This is a pickaxe specially used by dwarves for mining. It is very hard and much stronger than an iron pickaxe. Although its durability is still not as good as a diamond pickaxe, it can be used to mine obsidian.

At this moment, all the materials for making the enchantment table and the hell gate are available. Although his body is still in Blue Mountain, Levi's heart has already drifted back home, and he has already thought about where to put the two things.

It should have been done long ago.

Just as Levi was in a daze, the noise from the furnace made him turn his head.

I saw a glowing liquid flowing out of the pipe, gradually filling the iron bucket.

"What you want."

After expressing his gratitude to the dwarf and paying him enough for a drink, Levi put away the lava bucket.

[Achievement: Hot]

The basic purpose of this trip to Blue Mountains has been achieved.

"By the way, I heard that this place is led by the King of Durin's Dwarves: Thorin Oakenshield."

After collecting the lava, Levi turned around and asked the dwarf about it.

"Yes, I'm glad you've heard of our leader's name. It's under his leadership that we can live the good life we ​​have now."

The dwarf answered, looking at Levi and then at the location of the lava barrel.

Where's the bucket? How come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Is your leader still here?"

Levi was not sure when Thorin set out for Bree. The only thing he was sure of was that next year Thorin would meet Gandalf in Bree and then start the expedition to the Lonely Mountain.

"He..." The dwarf suddenly looked behind Levi, at the entrance of the hall.

"he came."

Steady footsteps came from behind.

When Levi turned around, he saw a tall (for a dwarf) dwarf with muscular arms who looked very strong walking towards the forging table without saying a word.

There was a gloom on his face that seemed like it would never go away.

Even though Levi had never seen him before, he could confirm it at the first sight.

This man is Thorin, Thorin Oakenshield.

The dwarf beside him bowed to Thorin, and Thorin paused slightly and nodded in response.

Then, he looked at the human next to him who seemed to stand out.

Normally, if someone broke into the dwarf's workshop, they would definitely be kicked out, but this person looked quite pleasing to the eye and his face did not look like that of a bad person.

Just like he always did when meeting strangers, Levi gave a slight greeting without being humble or arrogant. Thorin stared at this impressive human for a few seconds and nodded.

Then, he went to his own place and started forging work.

clang--!
"Swinging a hammer keeps your arms strong for swinging weapons in the future."

This dwarf king is always ready for battle.
