Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

The speed of this conversion is very slow. At the beginning, it might take a year to convert one gram of mithril.

At the same time, the flame crystals are constantly enhancing and purifying the Mother of Mithril, increasing its radiation and transformation speed.

If Dui didn't have the elf's sensitivity to metal and magic, he wouldn't have noticed this change at all.

After doing all this, Dui no longer stopped and just had to wait quietly.

Perhaps in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, a mithril vein will be generated here.

Although it cannot be compared with the mithril production in Moria, it is still a source of mithril.

As for Moria, although he owns one-tenth of the mithril property rights, it is still okay when Balin is in charge, but once Balin passes away, it will be completely difficult to say.

After all, this is not the first or second time that the dwarves have broken their promises.

After leaving the iron ore vein, Dui collapsed and sealed the tunnel again.

Then he went to the 33rd floor and began to busy himself with building the fairy furnace.

He planned to use flame crystallization to make the fire bricks for the furnace, but the temperature of flame crystallization was too high, enough to melt the surrounding stone walls and ironware.

So Dui had to be extravagant and planned to build a furnace with mithril.

Mithril has a magical property, which is that it is not difficult to melt the first time, but after forging is completed and it cools down completely, it becomes very strong and heat-resistant. Even if it is thrown into volcanic magma, it is still difficult to melt.

After preparing a bunch of forging tools, Dui took out a mithril container, enlarged the space capacity inside, put a few pieces of flame crystals into the bottom, and then put in the mithril ore one by one.

Under the high temperature of the flame crystallization, the mithril ore gradually melted and turned into boiling and flowing silver slurry.

After continuous purification, Dui slowly poured the mithril slurry into the mold.

After solidification, a mithril furnace is formed.

The furnace still couldn't cool down at this time. Dui held an iron hammer with mithril added and kept hitting the inner and outer walls of the furnace at a strange frequency. He recited a spell with each hammer and injected magic power through the hammer.

This technique is derived from the goblins' forging concept that "metal has memory". The goblins believe that metal has "memory", and forging is not only a shaping process, but also a process of "communication" with metal.

Therefore, the most important part of fairy forging is to awaken the memory of the metal and connect with the metal through spells, runes and mental power, so that the metal can remember the maker's intentions and thus give the item unique magical properties.

Every time the hammer struck the wall of the mithril furnace, magical sparks would burst out.

At the same time, the magic power injected by Dui was also merging with the mithril during the continuous knocking, making the mithril, which already had magical properties, full of magic power.

Wait until the mithril furnace is completely soaked in magic power.

Dui used a mithril carving knife as a tool to carve fairy runes on the inner wall of the furnace.

By the time I finished all this, a week had passed.

Even with the fire-retardant potion, Dui was sweating profusely, not sure if it was from the heat or fatigue.

Looking at the furnace in front of him that was as tall as a person, Dui waved his wand.

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

The cold spring water gushed out and poured onto the furnace.

The furnace hissed and steam rose up in an instant.

He waved his hand to clear away the mist in the room and looked at the furnace where the finished product was.

The furnace is silver all over and has an oval shape with a big belly. It looks a bit like an alchemy furnace, and the furnace is engraved with mysterious runes.

Then Dui took out a few fire crystals from the mithril box and put them into the furnace.

Although there was no lid on, the scorching heat of the flame crystals was magically blocked inside the furnace. Even if one touched the wall of the furnace, one could only feel the coldness of the metal.

Looking into the furnace again, I saw that the space inside seemed infinitely huge, and was filled with extremely high temperatures and flames.

Dui threw a piece of mithril ore in, and the mithril ore melted instantly, and all the impurities were instantly burned, leaving only the purest mithril molten liquid.

Seeing this, Dui directly threw all the remaining boxes of mithril ore in.

From the outside, each box of mithril ore looked enough to fill the furnace.

But even if all of it was thrown in, the furnace would still take it all in, and instantly melt all the mithril ore and burn all the impurities.

Dui tapped the furnace gently with his wand, and the furnace automatically shrank with each tap, eventually becoming a palm-sized pocket furnace.

But even so, the mithril molten liquid inside did not overflow.

This is the magic furnace made by Dui based on the forging technology of the fairies.

The furnace not only has an automatically expanding space inside that can become larger as more ore enters, but also has the ability to enhance firepower and purify impurities.

For example, if the flame crystals put in have a temperature of one thousand degrees Celsius, the furnace will be able to increase the internal temperature to ten thousand degrees Celsius, which is enough to melt the hardest and heat-resistant metals.

At the same time, the furnace has the ability to automatically expand or shrink. You can control the size of the furnace by tapping it with a magic wand, making it easy to move and operate.

Most importantly, the furnace has a maximum capacity.

That is, it can absorb the properties of the metal smelted in the furnace, making itself stronger and more self-repairing.

It can be said that with this furnace, Dui has the most solid foundation if he wants to become the master forger in Middle-earth.

Chapter 179 Mithril Sword

After the furnace was forged, Dui placed it in the center of the forging room.

Then he threw the flaming sword into the furnace and forged it with scorching heat and flames.

The Flaming Sword was made by Thorin and several dwarf craftsmen. It was recast by fusing the ancient sword of the Wight with a little mithril, and it was also engraved with the rune representing "flame".

Gandalf used it to unleash the sacred Fire of Arnor against the Balrog's Fire of Udun during his battle with him in Moria.

But this does not mean that the Flaming Sword itself really possesses such power.

Instead, Gandalf used the flaming sword to release the Fire of Arnor.

This time, Dui plans to use the fairy forging technology to recast the flaming sword once again to make it stronger.

The Flame Sword is made of cast bronze, but how can it compare to Mithril?

Not to mention that Dui is going to use the more precious Mother of Mithril this time.

That's right, Dui plans to use the Mother of Mithril to reforge the Flaming Sword.

He first threw the flaming sword into the furnace.

The Flaming Sword is worthy of being a weapon forged by the dwarves. Even in a high-temperature furnace, it melts very slowly.

Dui deliberately threw more flame crystals into the furnace to speed up the melting of the sword.

Under Dui's gaze, the flaming sword melted into a pool of molten lava, and the impurities in it were quickly decomposed and burned.

In the end, only a small ball of pure bronze molten liquid without any impurities and a thumb-sized piece of mithril molten liquid next to it remained.

That thumb-sized bit of mithril was the mithril component that Thorin and several dwarf craftsmen added to the sword.

Although it is not big, it is the greatest sincerity that Thorin can show.

But now Dui directly split the more precious, fist-sized Mithril Mother into two halves.

Then throw half of it into the furnace.

Mother of Mithril is far stronger and more heat-resistant than ordinary Mithril. Even the flames of the Balrog could not melt it.

The Mother of Mithril in the furnace remained motionless in the extreme high temperature and flames, just lying there quietly.

Seeing this, Dui directly threw the remaining flame crystals into the furnace.

Under the effect of the furnace's tenfold increased firepower, the color inside the furnace has changed from white to a higher blue.

The temperature inside had already far exceeded that of a volcano, and even the molten bronze in the furnace had begun to vaporize.

The Mother of Mithril finally began to show signs of softening, but it was still very slow.

At this rate, Dui wondered when the Mother of Mithril could be completely melted?

Seeing this, Dewi aimed his wand at the fire entrance and cast Fiendfire.

The fierce fire with destructive power was added to the flames of the furnace, instantly causing the temperature inside the furnace to soar further and turn into blue-purple.

Under the burning of such a terrifying flame, the melting speed of the Mother of Mithril accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the Mithril Mother, which was half the size of a fist, was finally completely melted.

The bronze molten liquid from the original flaming sword shrank significantly, leaving only a little pure bronze essence, which looked as dazzling as gold.

Although mithril is a good material, it is too light. If the sword is made entirely of mithril, the weight of the sword will be difficult to control and will not be conducive to causing damage.

So Dui fused the light Mother of Mithril molten metal with the heavy essence of bronze to form an alloy material of suitable weight, which has the lightness, corrosion resistance, and strong enchantment conductivity of Mithril, as well as the stability and strength of bronze.

Dui took the fused mixed metal out of the furnace, and after it solidified, he used a mithril hammer to continuously strike it at a unique frequency. With each strike, magic power would be integrated into the alloy through the mithril hammer, and the Mother of Mithril and the essence of bronze would be further integrated.

When the hammering is almost done, the alloy is put back into the furnace and melted and calcined again, allowing the mithril, bronze, and magic power to continuously react in the furnace.

This repetitive process lasted for three months.

The calcination process finally stopped when the Mother of Mithril, bronze and magic power were indistinguishable from each other and the metal memory was completely stimulated.

At this time, the mithril alloy had been forged into the shape of a sword.

Dui used a mithril chisel to carve runes on the sword. Once the engraving was complete, he threw it into the mithril melt in the furnace to coat it with patina.

After calcining and polishing... Dui placed the red-hot sword directly into the blood-red liquid that had been prepared to quench it.

This blood-red liquid is a fairy quenching potion made by Dui using dragon blood as raw material.

The sword quickly cooled down in the dragon blood liquid and continued to absorb the essence of the liquid. The sword became more extraordinary and faintly flashed with precious light.

After cooling, it continues to be tempered and forged.

Another three months passed, and a slender sword shining with silver light finally appeared in its entirety.

The sword is bright silver all over, but because of the addition of bronze, it has a faint golden hue.

The hilt of the sword is cross-shaped, with a phoenix carved in the center of the hilt and crown-shaped ends inlaid with red gems. There is also a huge ruby ​​inlaid at the end of the hilt.

But these gems are not real rubies, but gem shapes carved from flame crystals.

What is even more amazing is that the flame crystal that was originally extremely hot, now embedded in the hilt, does not emit a high temperature breath, nor is it hot to the touch, but just feels warm.

The sword will always emit warmth even in a cold environment, making the holder feel warm all over.

On the sword body, it is engraved in Elvish: "Duir, holds and controls the flaming sword, controls the fire of judgment, and destroys all enemies of darkness."
