"Let's start quickly."

Xia Qi signaled.

In response, Romanov said: "Your Majesty, we have to wait for another three minutes."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, please look over there."

After saying that, Romanov took Xia Qi, Boudreau and the others to the other end of the forging table.

I saw a small pit about the size of a washbasin at the other end of the forging platform.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the small pit is filled with hot magma.

Even while wearing goggles, Xia Qi only glanced at it and felt it was a bit dazzling. He subconsciously moved his eyes away and cast a questioning look at Romanov.

In response, Romanov hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the magic crystal to be smelted needs to be soaked in magma for more than thirteen hours. Only in this way can the magic crystal be softened."

After receiving such an answer, Xia Qi couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The temperature of the magma was so frightening that it had to be soaked for more than ten hours to soften. I have to say that this magic crystal is also hard enough. No wonder Roman

Nov and the others have absolutely nothing to do with this magic crystal ore.

Three minutes passed quickly. Xia Qi patted Boudreau who was standing next to him. Boudreau suddenly came back to his senses. Damn it, he seemed to have lost consciousness just now.

Xia Qi practices martial arts all year round and eats a lot of good food to strengthen his body. Therefore, his physique is far superior to that of ordinary adult humans.

As for Boudreau, although the elf craftsmen forging weapons and equipment also have physical requirements, they are far from reaching Xia Qi's level.

"How about we talk about it next time?" Xia Qi, who was a little worried about Boudreau's physical condition, suggested.

In response, Boudreau immediately shook his head and said: "No, since we are here, let's get started."

After receiving the signal, the three dwarf craftsmen standing next to the forging platform immediately started taking action.

One of the dwarf craftsmen took a special fire tongs and quickly stirred it in the magma. In just two or three seconds, he pinched out the fire magic crystal sunk in the pothole.

I have to say that this is a technical job. The temperature of the magma is so terrifying, and coupled with its ability to dissolve everything, even a special fire tong will be burned to softness if it stays in it for a little longer.

However, if you want to quickly clip out the magic crystal without being able to see its location at all, it is impossible without some experience and skills.

The dwarf craftsman who picked up the fire magic crystal did not dare to slack off. He walked to the forging table and started moving as fast as possible.

The two assistants on the side are also experienced. When what needs to be done, the dwarf craftsman does not need to say anything.

During this process, Boudreau seemed to have completely forgotten the discomfort caused by the hot environment. He opened his eyes wide and carefully watched the dwarf craftsman's skills.

Xia Qi, on the other hand, basically lost interest after looking at it twice.

Because he couldn't understand it at all.

"Peter (Romanov), how long does it take to forge?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although all the steps that can be done in advance have been done in advance, it will take about four hours for even the most skilled dwarf craftsmen to complete the forging of a piece of elemental alloy. And after completing the preliminary forging

After work, for the next month, the piece of elemental alloy must be repeatedly forged and tempered every day to remove impurities before it is completely completed."

Xia Qi's face darkened when he heard this. He would have to forge again for a week, let alone stand here for four hours. Wouldn't it be fatal?

"In this case, let's go out first."

Regarding this, Romanov had nothing to say and directly agreed.

Although he is slightly more adaptable to this environment than Xia Qi and others, who wants to stay next to this magma pool if he can stay outside.

The group of people who reached a consensus quickly evacuated the Furnace Volcano.

While leaving the furnace volcano, Xia Qi couldn't wait to take off his work clothes, threw aside his goggles and breathing mask, and took a long breath of the outside air.

While Xia Qi looked at the entrance of the volcano, Romanov couldn't help but sigh.

"Even I feel like I can't bear it. I really don't know how that elf can hold on."

Yes, Boudreau is still in there.

Even Xia Qi has to admire his work enthusiasm and his strong willpower.

Just in case, Xia Qi asked Romanov to call a dwarf soldier to watch Boudreau. If Boudreau stayed in there for a long time and passed out, remember to carry him out.

However, what surprised the two was that about an hour later, Boudreau walked out on his own.

After coming out, Boudreau completely lost the grace that a high elf should have, and sat down on the ground with a "pop". Then, like Xia Qi before, he quickly tore off his work clothes and took off his breathing clothes at the same time.

He put on his hood and took two deep breaths.

Seeing this, Xia Qi handed over a bottle of water at the right time.

After receiving the water, Boudreau no longer cared about his image. He drank half the bottle of water directly into his stomach and poured the remaining half on his head. Finally, he felt a little better.

"How's it going? Did you gain anything?"

Faced with Xia Qi's question, Boudreau nodded laboriously.

"Yes. I would like to find an opportunity to talk to the dwarf craftsman later."

The dwarf craftsmen did not understand the magic crystal ore. During the forging process, Boudreau also discovered that a large amount of elemental power in the magic crystal was completely lost and wasted.

Regarding this forging method, Boudreau, as an elf craftsman, feels that there are many areas that can be improved.

After another three hours, the dwarf craftsman who had completed the preliminary forging walked out with a piece of fire element alloy that had been hammered into a metal ingot.

Seeing this, Romanov quickly called Boudreau and walked over.

At first, I heard Romanov say that when the elf in front of him wanted to talk to him about forging techniques, the dwarf craftsman frowned visibly.

In his opinion, this elf face with thin arms and legs also knows how to forge, so don't be kidding.

But after chatting for a few words, the dwarf craftsman's brows suddenly relaxed, and he turned to look a little thoughtful.

Five or six minutes later, the two of them were already discussing the topic of elemental alloys back and forth.

Indeed, the elves don't like the dwarfs, and the dwarves don't like the elves, the pretty boys.

But this does not prevent the two craftsmen from discussing their skills and experience. On this point, the two have reached a consensus.

In the coming days, Boudreau seems to be planning to stay here temporarily.

It can be said that Xia Qi was mentally prepared for this.

After returning to Daxia City, the first thing I did was to call the people below to further improve the anti-high temperature effect of high-temperature work clothes.

After all, the current version is not useful at all.

After a few days of good rest, Xia Qi regained his energy and quickly returned to his daily work.

In this way, time passed quietly.

On the periphery of the New World, the expeditionary army commanded by Wang Meng has also officially landed on the shore.

After Wang Meng's expeditionary army arrived, it was quickly supported.

After completing the landing, the first thing Wang Meng and Nimitz Avachi, who is now his adjutant, did was go deep into the forest.

Soon, the expeditionary army encountered a city built by the indigenous elves.

In Wang Meng's eyes, this city is a bit crude. The indigenous elves living here really have no sense of layout, and the location of the buildings is a bit messy.

In Wang Meng's opinion, it can be said to be full of flaws. If attacked, it would be difficult to defend.

If the group of indigenous elves are allowed to fight defensively in this forest, then the special forces under his command will be able to rush left and right in this forest without any pressure.

But no matter what, let’s clear an open space and build a camp first.

After a while, a camp quickly took shape. Although it was still poor in Wang Meng's opinion, it still looked like a stronghold.

In this way, after Wang Meng thought for a while, the early ideas were already in place.

The large forest in front of them serves as their resource hoarding point.

Then, with this stronghold as the center, Wang Meng directly sent more than a dozen reconnaissance teams to investigate the situation in all directions and broaden their horizons.

As for himself, he recruited several military engineers who had accompanied the army on the expedition and began to discuss how to improve and strengthen their stronghold on the front line.

The first thing you need to do when you first arrive is to get a firm foothold.

With Wang Meng, a veteran with many years of battlefield experience, in charge, the development plan on the New World side can only be said to be going very smoothly.

In just one year, Xia Qi's horizons in the New World have tripled.

During this period, Wang Meng also annexed three waves of human natives.

There are not many people, just a few thousand people.

Moreover, the conditions of these human natives are much worse than those of the natives on the main continent, and they all live a very primitive life.

With only such a small number of people, there was no need to send them back to Daxia, so Wang Meng simply left the natives in the New World to work as laborers.

Xia Qi turned over the report in his hand. According to Wang Meng's wishes, in the next spring, Daxia can send a large-scale construction team there to build the first city in the New World in that big forest.
