"Hiss" I opened my eyes wide, sat up suddenly from the hard floor, and scanned the surrounding environment in a daze.

Only then did the memory slowly emerge from my mind. I raised my hands, and my slightly pale skin shone a little under the light of the Eta crystal, which stung my eyes.

There was no residual silvery white component, nor was there any discomfort or strange feeling, as if everything that happened before was just an extremely realistic dream.

Then a large number of memories poured out of my mind, proving that this was not a dream. I shook my head, which was swollen due to the huge influx of information, and began to examine the new knowledge I had gained.

Just as I guessed, these new memories are about the names of the metals under Icalantriel, and their original forms.

Among them is "mith", which is mithril in dragon language, followed closely by "adman". More people are accustomed to calling it fine steel because of its hard and indestructible characteristics.

After that came "nork" iron and "lark" copper. Counting mithril and fine steel, Icarantriel actually only allowed me to master the power of four metals.

Without dwarf alloy, I can understand that it is a man-made metal after all. There is no natural dwarf alloy in nature, but why are there only four kinds of metals produced in nature? I am a little confused, but I can't find the answer at the moment, so I have to put this question

Keep it in your heart first.

I calmed down and felt Ecalantriel carefully, and soon I saw it. It turned into many silvery-white trickles, lingering next to my organs except my heart, a somewhat illusory heart.

Calantriel was floating next to my heart, which I guessed was the core of Icalantriel. In addition, I also saw the connection between Icalantriel and these other metals.

Pogg's conjecture is right. Ecalantrel is indeed the highest grade among all metals. I can feel the fear and surrender of other metals to it. I think, with Ekalantriel, Pog

What Ge said about the power of controlling other metal rune masters is not just talk.

"lark!" In order to test the degree of control of Icarantril on the lower metals, I tried to summon a small group of copper. They appeared in the air in the form of liquid, and soon condensed under my ritual operation.

A copper arrow. It floats in my hand and looks very beautiful.

I aimed at the stone wall in the distance, waved my hand and shot out the copper arrow. As soon as it left my hand, I immediately put my mental power into the condensed core of Icarantriel, and gave the order to the copper arrow to stop immediately.

I could feel my power being boosted by the Eta alloy and being sent out quickly in some form, and it was obviously not from the same source as the power of the copper arrow I had just ordered.

The command composed of mental power quickly caught up with the bronze arrow in front, and soon took effect on the bronze arrow. The bronze arrow suddenly stopped and was suspended in mid-air, with the arrow body still

It is constantly trembling, just like human beings seeing the supreme king. I can feel that it is afraid, the origin of copper is afraid.

I seemed to see it huddled up in a ball, instinctively hiding in the corner, waiting for the next order from the emperor named Ecarantriel.

I nodded with satisfaction and signaled that the copper arrow would disperse on its own. The origin of copper shook a few times in my consciousness. The shot out copper arrow quickly decomposed slowly and turned into liquid copper and submerged into the void.

middle.

There is a saying among blacksmiths that you should strike while the anvil is hot, so I summoned an iron arrow, a stainless steel arrow and a mithril arrow one after another.

The results were satisfactory: except for the Mithril Origin, which hesitated before accepting the order, the other metal origins immediately implemented my request. The Mithril Origin also expressed its sincerity after a short hesitation and obeyed Ekalandriel.

The mithril arrow was ordered to be dispersed.

"Hahahaha," I laughed happily. I have never felt so good. "I really found a treasure this time, Saren." I said to myself with a smile on my face.

I moved my limbs and body lightly, but suddenly I felt a strong stench. Fairy, I was wandering in the forest, and when I first arrived in Brinto, it was definitely not so smelly.

This sour smell was not difficult to identify. Combined with the memory before coma, I immediately knew the source of the smell: my sweat.

I looked at myself, frowned, took off my armor and mithril chainmail, and took out the sweat-soaked mithril ingots from my underwear. I was left completely soaked, still wet.

The underwear smelled strongly of sweat.

The originally white shirt has now turned into a more intense and deep... off-white color, and the gray linen underwear on the lower body has also become a darker color. I stretched out my hand and took off the clothes that were already stuck to my skin and soaked up with sweat.

Lost it on the ground.

"Ah! I really wish I had a new set of clothes." I looked at myself naked and said to myself helplessly.

I remembered the last time I was forced to put on armor almost naked, and couldn't help but laugh. After much hesitation, I put on the chain mail, and then put on the knight's armor outside.

This is not a good experience. The cold chain armor sticks to the body, and the outside is a thicker and colder knight's armor.

The upper body had a chainmail base, so the situation wasn't too bad, but the lower body was completely miserable. The armor made the bare thighs and crotch extremely uncomfortable.

I tried taking a few steps and looked at the mithril ingots lying on the ground. Finally, I gave up the idea and took off my armor piece by piece.

Then I called for running water and used it to rinse my underwear over and over again until I could no longer smell the strange smell of sweat.

Looking at the wet clothes in my hands, I quickly summoned a small ball of flame, and the water was quickly evaporated. Not long after, a set of dry underwear appeared in front of me again.

This time it was my turn to be a little surprised. To be honest, I had never thought about the use of runes in this area before.

To be precise, it is not the use of runes, but the use of the power of things. This discovery made me feel better. I no longer have to worry about my clothes becoming wet or stained with dirt or contamination.

"Being a rune master is not bad, at least I always wash clothes quickly." I thought with some happiness, opened the door and walked out of this compartment.

Kurog's body was still lying quietly on the ground. I looked at him, and for some reason my interest suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by an indescribable sadness.

Although the dwarves are a lazy and cruel slave race, and there are as many as three races that have been degenerated due to their forced enslavement, but seeing that the dwarves in this entire city still gained nothing even after paying the price with their lives, I naturally felt...

I feel sad for them.

I stood in front of Kurog's body and wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say anything. I just sighed. "mith." I summoned a mithril shovel and easily dug out a mithril shovel on the stone ground.

Shallow pit.

I slowly put the intact skeleton into the shallow pit and piled the stones back bit by bit. A small pile of stones that was not in harmony with the surrounding smooth ground soon appeared in front of me.

Looking at this pile of stones, I always felt that something was missing, so I used broken steel to cut off a large piece of dwarven metal that could be found everywhere, and simply cut it into a shape similar to a rectangular parallelepiped, and then carved a line of large characters vertically: Sleeping here

The dwarf warrior Kurogtag died trying to save his race.

After carving this line of words with broken steel, I embedded the tombstone in the pile of stones without saying a word. Finally, I bowed to it and walked out of the laboratory with some heaviness.

This is indeed an unexpected gain, but I have not forgotten what the main goal of coming down this time is. Those dwarves have invented it long ago, but the empire has just started, and the kingdom has suffered heavy casualties under its attack. Guns and cannons are what

The most precious resource for my army.

Oh, by the way, there are also those mysterious rune crafts. This Rune Breaker is just the tip of the iceberg. I am very interested in this craft that can combine runes and machinery.

There is another thing that I don't like that much, which is to completely clear out the mechanical guards in the city, or at least clear out the mechanical guards in one area of ​​the city, so that my troops can come down and turn this place into their base.

I have to finish these in a very short time, or go back to the hiding place to take a look in the middle of these things. I don’t know how long I have been down, maybe it’s almost a day? The dwarves don’t seem to have a sense of time, or maybe they

There was no large timing device, so I had no idea how long I had been unconscious.

Although I guess it won't take long to make a rough inference from the wetness of the clothes. There are also water stains and residual sweat from the dome on the ground, but the unknown always makes people feel uneasy.

I'm a little worried about Joseph and the soldiers in the army. Are they okay? Have they been discovered by the empire? Have Reza's troops taken action? These are the news I am eager to know.

So I decided not to stay any longer, grabbed the broken steel and kicked open the door of the weapons research and development department.

Unfortunately, the Governor seemed to have guessed the possibility of the city falling, so on the eve of the refinement, he issued an order for all departments except the Rune Craftsman Department to destroy all advanced research materials.

This was also the only intact document in the whole room. The scientists seemed to have no interest in destroying it and just placed it on the table.

As for those weapons research and development records, I looked through them all with fantasy, and found that they were completely destroyed. These scientists are not Kurog, they have enough time to do this.

Since such an order exists, I decided not to waste time in other research rooms and went directly to the second floor of the fortress. I haven't found the armory of the fortress yet. It must be somewhere on a higher level.

I quickly found a security room on the second floor with the same layout, but with a different location and map.

This map made me a little happier. The armory is on the second floor, and it looks quite big.

In fact, half of the entire second floor was used to build this armory. It is impossible to miss the door that is almost as high as the fortress door, indoors.

I pulled out the broken steel, summoned a mithril sword with my other hand, and walked to the door of the armory in three steps at a time.

The second floor was quiet except for the rattling of gears behind the wall.

I sheathed my sword and pushed open the armory door with all my strength.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", as the door of the armory was slowly pushed open, the wall lamps inside seemed to sense something, and ignited dazzling orange-red flames from near to far.

It's not Eta crystal, it's not geothermal lighting, it's a serious flame.

The geothermal ceiling lights overhead lit up one after another, illuminating the entire armory extremely brightly.

The floor of the armory is rarely made of dwarf alloy, with rows of weapon racks standing next to each other, and each weapon rack is filled with dwarven firearms.

Although I don't know what kind of guns those are, the shape is obviously firearms.

Fifty meters seemed to be a dividing line. After fifty meters, the weapon rack began to change. There were no longer firearms on it, but instead were replaced with close-quarter weapons such as long swords or war hammers.

Placed next to the weapon racks are armor racks. On each armor rack is a complete set of dwarf armor and a shield.

I picked up the shield on the armor stand next to me and looked at it. The shield was huge. One side could easily protect a teenage human boy. This was quite huge for a dwarf. The shield was made of dwarf alloy and was extremely thick.

I have no doubt that it can easily block the bullets pouring from the Imperial Army.

Next to it were boxes one after another. I took a quick look and realized that the contents inside were all bullets for firearms.

These three items are the main components of the armory, which are placed in front of me all the way to the distance that I can't see. These weapons can arm an imperial division, not to mention my guerrillas.

On the other side are many inconspicuous small squares, which look like decorations in an armory. Only those who have seen them know what kind of dangerous weapons they will turn into when unfolded.

The blocks are divided into several levels. The smallest one is only half the size of me. I guess when unfolded it should be a robot of normal human height, and then the slightly larger blocks should be street defenders.

The number of the previous types of blocks is large. As the blocks get larger, the number gradually decreases, but they are still in the category of large numbers.

Until the fifth and final largest block. From the faint silvery white color on the surface of this block, I guessed its identity as a mechanical purifier.

These huge war machines are obviously expensive to build, and even the Governor's armory only has ten Purifier blocks.

Although there are only ten of them, I imagine they could easily wipe out an entire Imperial division.

In addition, there are some rather special squares placed aside. I agree that these squares are very familiar. They are covered with runes that I can't understand but are very familiar. They are all rune breakers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these rune destroyers are definitely not as good as giants like mechanical purifiers, but they are the best choice for dwarves to fight against mages and runes, and they are mine.
Chapter completed!
