Lord's answer surprised everyone present, but the old dwarf was instantly ecstatic.
"Then give me dozens of magic books!"
The smile on the old dwarf's face froze.
If the other party wanted powerful weapons and equipment or various precious gems, he could give them to them, but he didn't have any magic books at all!
What's the point of a dwarf like him collecting that thing?
"Then it seems that there is no deal to be negotiated."
Lord faked a sigh and pretended to take back the ore.
The old dwarf suddenly became anxious: "Stranger, do you know how precious the Eternal Ore is? Only we dwarves know how to handle this thing. You are simply wasting it!"
"Don't worry!" Lord pointed behind him, "One of my companions is a dwarf."
The old dwarf looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw Som looking at his work in the workshop.
"Where's his beard? What kind of dwarf is he without one!"
The old dwarf's words made Som feel a little embarrassed.
"This is not your concern." Lord interrupted the old dwarf coldly, "If there is nothing else, we will leave."
"Wait!" The old dwarf stamped his feet anxiously. "I have another idea!"
Since I can't buy eternal ore from this group of people, I have to try another method.
The old dwarf's reaction was within Lord's expectations. He was very familiar with the tactic of bargaining.
"any solution?"
"I can help you process this eternal ore."
"But I have doubts about your forging skills. What if you ruin my ore?" Lord pretended to be embarrassed.
"Are you looking down on me? Even if I were to look around the world, I'm confident that my forging abilities wouldn't be inferior to any other dwarf."
Seeing that he had almost finished his words, Lord no longer hesitated.
, said: "In that case, I would like to entrust you to forge a sword with this ore."
Celie stood aside with her arms folded, adding, "A holy sword that can infuse and store magic power."
The old dwarf's eyes widened. "How dare you ask for such a high price? Do you know how difficult it is to forge a holy sword that can be imbued with magic?"
You know, Som's battle axe doesn't have this function.
His battle axe is made of ore with magical properties during the forging process, so it has a special skill of explosion.
But this is different from what Celia requested.
Celie's meaning was very clear, that is, this holy sword must be able to infuse magic power into it, then store this magic power and release it during battle.
It's a bit like a curry stick.
"Didn't you say that your forging skills are unmatched? Is that not possible?" Lord chose to provoke the opponent.
It was obvious that his provocation was effective.
"Who said I can't forge it? Give me a month!"
The more powerful the weapon, the longer it takes to forge.
It is said that the weapon of the Dwarf Kingdom that can cause harm to gods took nearly ten years to create, using various precious minerals, and even the eternal ore was just one of the materials.
But unfortunately, it is impossible to tell the real from the fake.
"However," the old dwarf looked Lord and his companions up and down, "are you qualified to wield the holy sword?"
Among the group of people in front of him, only the elf looked very strong, but it was obvious that he was not a powerful warrior, but a magician.
As for the others, the old dwarf only thought that the blond human and the beardless dwarf looked like warriors, and he couldn't tell how strong the others were.
Facing the old dwarf's doubts, Eric puffed out his chest in defiance: "What? You don't believe in our strength?"
After saying that, he took out a scale from his bag. It was the scale of the dragon.
"Dragon scales!?" The old dwarf immediately recognized that these were the scales of an adult red dragon, and even his attitude became a little friendlier. "I can't believe you have such powerful strength."
He rubbed his rough palms. "But the forging of the holy sword you requested is extremely complex and requires a lot of materials."
The old dwarf didn't finish his words, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at the scales, obviously wanting Lord to use the scales as a reward.
"As long as you can forge the holy sword we just talked about, this scale will be your reward."
"Well, but these materials are very precious."
Obviously, the old dwarf wanted more compensation.
An adventurer who can kill a dragon must be carrying a lot of the dragon's treasure.
This greedy guy!
Lord cursed inwardly, but before he could speak, Norn stepped forward and said, "And these gems, I can give them to you too."
Noen took out a small bag of sparkling gems. He didn't bring so many gems with him at first, and he took them all out of Eric's bag.
Norn simply ignored Eric's silent protest.
It was a rare opportunity to meet a race that collected these gems, so naturally he had to use them up as soon as possible. He didn't want to take risks carrying these beautiful but useless stones every day.
Chapter 53 Forging the Holy Sword
The old dwarf's eyes widened instantly. He took the bag of gems with trembling hands and carefully examined the quality of each gem.
There were few gems in his treasury that could compare with these.
It is truly worthy of being called the dragon’s treasure.
"Great, great!" He even said the word "great" three times excitedly. "This reward is absolutely enough!"
With these gems, all the materials and effort I spent are completely worth it.
"But I have one more request. I hope to select some weapons and equipment from your workshop."
The old dwarf was a little hesitant about Norn's request.
Seeing this, Norn continued, "This is enough to cover your material and labor costs, and even more, isn't it?"
The norn knew well the value of these magnificent gems to the dwarves.
He is not a person who is willing to suffer losses, otherwise why would he give the old dwarf a small bag of gems instead of several? He must have other purposes.
This action made Lord beside him nod secretly.
The determined Norn is gradually on the road to becoming king.
But Lord always seemed to feel that this sentence sounded familiar.
In the end, the old dwarf agreed to Norn's request.
At this time, Celie added coldly, "The rewards we offer are already generous enough. Don't let me see you playing tricks in the forging, like replacing the ore or something."
Invisible magical power began to gather around her, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The old dwarf swallowed hard and waved his hand quickly, "Of course not! I swear on the honor of the dwarves that I will do my utmost to forge this holy sword!"
If the customer pays little, he will naturally not put in the effort to forge it.
But Lord and his group not only took out precious eternal ores and scales, they even took out so many gems as rewards.
The old dwarf will use all his energy to forge this holy sword for them.
He carefully put away the gem and dragon scales, then looked at Lord, wanting to say something but stopping himself. "However, to forge a holy sword capable of storing magic power, one more key item is needed."
"What is it?" Lord asked.
"A crystal that can store magic power."
"You don't have it?" Lord was a little puzzled.
"Not now. This stuff is only used when making magic props. I don't have any reserves at all."
The dwarves' forging techniques include the production of magic items, but this old dwarf mostly forges various weapons and equipment, and very few magic items.
Naturally, he would not specifically stockpile magic crystals. Besides, this thing is quite expensive. He could not store materials in the warehouse for something that he might not be able to forge even one piece in a year.
So if there is a need, we will wait until we have the materials before starting forging.
"You want me to go look for it?"
After all, I have paid so much for it, why do I have to find the materials myself? It makes me feel like the unlucky guy in a fantasy novel who asks others to make elixirs for him.
Not only do you have to prepare several materials and ask others to make pills for you, but you also have to prepare an additional reward regardless of success or failure.
It's just so miserable.
"We can wait, though. A dwarven merchant group will arrive in this city in about a year. We can buy magic crystals from them."
The old dwarf was also very embarrassed. He was missing only this material. The main reason was that he did not expect that the holy sword that the elf lady required to be forged should also have the function of storing magic power.
He had never experienced this kind of effect when forging weapons before.
"How about removing the magic power storage function? How about I give you some other skills?"
"No!" Celie refused directly. "This is the bottom line. I must be able to store magic power!"
The old dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead. Facing the cold elf in front of him, he always felt frightened.
"I understand. How about I wait for the dwarven merchant group to arrive in a year and then forge it for you?"
Lord frowned. A year was too long.
Maybe this time is nothing for Celie, but Lord is not willing to wait that long.
Just when the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Som suddenly poked his head out from the depths of the workshop and said, "Look inside!"
He walked over quickly. He had taken away a large bag of ore from the dragon's lair, and now it was a good opportunity for the old dwarf in front of him to identify it.
A large pile of colorful ores was poured onto the ground by Som, and the old dwarf was shocked again.
"Is this sand-grain gold? It's harder than steel, the best weapon material, and it even has this huge magic crystal! No, it's so pure and a star-blue color. This is a top-grade product that can store vast amounts of magic power!"
Lord's expression finally softened a bit: "Now are the materials ready?"
