Durin's Diary

Chapter 156: Can the children in this Mage Tower tell crosstalk?

On the morning of the fourth day, Du Lin brought Anta to the Mage Tower. The girl had a communication class today - after all, there was nothing to do on the morning of the fourth day of the Academy Festival, so Du Lin followed them.

As for the house that was damaged in the gunfight, there shouldn't be any trouble now that Melinda and Xia Li are overseeing the renovation process.

The Mage Tower in Copenhagen is much larger than the one in Lublin. After all, it is the headquarters of the Mage Association in the Northern Kingdom. When Dulin entered from the gate, he even saw a huge fountain.

The young wizard who brought Dulin in, perhaps thinking he was a country bumpkin from the east (Dulin didn't give his name), proudly introduced the thing: "This is an exquisite fountain made by the Craftsmen's Guild for our Mage Tower. Isn't it magnificent?"

"It's quite beautiful. I also know how this thing works. There are three methods. One is the siphon principle. There's a river near you, and the craftsmen use this principle to suck water over and start spraying water. Another method is to build a water tower, which can be achieved by connecting vessels with different heights." Having said this, Du Lin hung up his master craftsman seal and smiled in front of the embarrassed young man. "Of course, there is another method used by mages, which is to use a constant small transmission channel to suck the river water through that channel. I think it should be the third method. After all, the Mage Tower is always short of money."

Facing a great craftsman, even the proudest wizard would have to learn how to be restrained. The young wizard looked like he was about to cry.

But someone came to his rescue. Karl Malone happened to be passing by with a group of mages. He saw Anta and had already come over. But when he saw Durin clearly, the old man immediately laughed: "I just mentioned you, the little genius, and you appeared in front of me. Did I just use the wish spell?"

The wizards' jokes were indeed amusing. Even Du Lin laughed. "I'm here with Anta. Good morning, Grandpa Marlon."

"Good morning, Durin, and welcome to the largest Mage Tower in the Northern Kingdom. Your little ally is very welcome here." The old man gestured for Durin and Anta to follow him. "We high-ranking mages were just discussing your alchemical armor. There are so many parts, and the tower's artisans are still confused about many of them. Could you provide some guidance?"

Du Lin glanced at Anta, and she smiled and put her arm around Du Lin: "I'll go with you to see the craftsmen first."

So the group went to the Artisan Building in the Mage Tower.

Durin had been taught since childhood that mages were rich, but looking at the spacious and somewhat empty assembly area in front of him, and the craftsmen who were using spells to recast parts, Durin's only feeling was that it was too luxurious.

The mages have their own spellcasting positions, unlike Du Lin who can play around casually.

"You saw it, in order to make the alchemical weapons you saw on the big screen yesterday, many mages volunteered to help." It was Lord Malone who cleared up Du Lin's doubts.

When they saw Du Lin coming, several mages wearing red high-level wizard robes gathered over.

"Mr. Du Lin, how are the alchemical shells used in the weapon made, and what is their caliber?"

"Our craftsmen and our young wizard have different opinions on what barrel caliber means, so we haven't been able to produce a barrel yet."

Durin first addressed the question about ammunition. "Regarding ammunition, the Great Wasteland uses 20mm long-cased bullets, but long-cased bullets require a vast amount of copper. The Elven Territory's Artisan Guild and I are currently considering caseless bullets based on the arcane ejection mechanism. With the same ammunition bay capacity, caseless bullets can hold twice as much ammunition as standard bullets, and they don't require a large amount of copper to manufacture, effectively lowering costs. If you want to test standard bullets now, that's fine too. I've written down the data on the 20mm long-cased bullets so you can test-produce them yourself."

After writing down the data, Du Lin began to answer the second question. This question was quite simple. He just gave the mage the formula for the multiple of diameter. After confirming the data, the red-haired high-level mage immediately began to make the gun barrel on the spot with his team. Spell making was just that simple. As long as the control over the spell was in place, one could even "transform" the rifling directly.

In Dulin's previous life, rifling was made from steel pipes drilled with a lathe, but here, magic is more effective than a lathe.

Those who could wear high-level mage robes certainly had the capital to wear red robes. The red-haired man simply melted an ingot into liquid, which then turned into a long tube, which then hollowed out, and then a perfect six-rifle line appeared on the inner diameter. "What do you think, young sir?" The red-headed man finished his performance and looked at Du Lin with great pride.

"Perfect." Du Lin smiled and nodded. "In terms of alchemy, your greatness is far beyond my reach."

"But when it comes to inventions and creations, I cannot even begin to match your greatness." The red-haired man saluted Dulin. "Kolin Sergeyev, I salute you, the youngest master craftsman on this earth. Your wisdom is rare, and your selflessness is truly moving."

Du Lin also touched his chest and saluted: "I just did some small things for this land within my ability."

The gorgeous sedan chair was carried by everyone. Du Lin never minded participating in such a happy event that brought joy to both the host and the guests.

After dealing with these two matters, there is still one problem that Du Lin needs to solve.

The initiator of the question was a young Northerner. After Dulin solved two major problems, he jumped out in a gray robe and snatched the speaking order from the red-robed high-level wizard.

Du Lin didn't care and looked at him with a smile: "Do you have anything to ask me?"

"Mr. Durin! How did you capture a beautiful and powerful girl like Miss Anta? Can you teach us?" The young wizard stood there with a red face and answered loudly. The kids around him were almost laughing.

Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Anta with a smile: "Should I answer or should you answer?"

"Come on, it's a little hard for me to talk about this kind of thing." Anta was a little embarrassed, but still smiled.

Du Lin then told how he and Anta met.

The young gray-robed mages applauded.

The young man was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and looked at his friends, but found that none of them said a word.

Du Lin gave him a chance: "You don't have to be strong, but you must have a pair of eyes that can discover a good girl like gold, and a pair of strong hands that can hold the iron rod of fire. Okay, do you have any other questions?"

"No, thank you for answering my question...Sir, do I look stupid?" the child asked in distress.

"No, you are very brave, sit down." Du Lin smiled and motioned him to sit down.

The wizard cubs who were with him cheered loudly.
