On the turbulent sea, a lone boat with its sails full of arrows and broken is still chasing two ships that are dozens of times larger than it.
"What's your name, Mage..."
Toné Soutine asked as he looked at the person who was chasing him relentlessly.
"My name is Delane, Delane Orlan. Challenge me to a duel of life and death, Toné Soutine!"
There was no more timidity on Delain's face, only determination. He held a staff in one hand and a wooden board nailed with arrow feathers in the other.
Ever since he was kicked out by his mentor, he had lost all his dignity. He didn't dare go home to face his uncle who had bravely sent him on the path to becoming a mage, he didn't dare face his cousin who had given up the opportunity to become a mage to himself, he didn't dare face his father who had high hopes for him, he didn't dare...
He could die on the way to becoming a mage, but he would never live in peace. This is him, Delain Orlan. His glory has been broken, but the mage's heart will live on forever!
I'm sorry, Xialan Auglos, I can't be your court wizard anymore.
It is my honor to be your friend. From the moment you raised the Ink Sea Dragon Flag, the Silver Deer has been carrying the heart of a lost wizard like me.
With one last glance in the direction of Bolavis, Delain raised his staff and cast the spell he had practiced countless times at the giant ship in front of him.
"Levitate!"
Buzz~, Delain broke through his own limits and resonated with the staff in his hand. The powerful mental power caused ripples in the air around him.
"boom!"
The boat Tone Soutine was on suddenly stopped, causing Tone Soutine to lose his balance and stagger, almost falling.
"Even if you awaken, you'll only be a first-level mage, Delain Orlan. The game is over. I will remember you."
Tone Sudin regained his footing, took the magic crossbow handed to him by his men, aimed at Delain who was holding up his staff, pressed the trigger, and the crystal arrow shot out.
"boom!"
After an explosion, the wooden boat carrying Delane disappeared on the sea, leaving only a few pieces of charred wood floating freely, being hit by the waves.
"Get out of here quickly!"
After putting away the magic crossbow, Tone Sudin just glanced at the place where Delain Orlan disappeared, waved his hand and gave an order.
…
Bohrawis.
Near the river near the mine, a nearly four-meter-high iron-smelting blast furnace rose from the ground. Good, with his bare chest, led his men to feed the excavated ore into the furnace.
The small river next to the blast furnace was blocked by a dam. Xia Lan, with her upper body naked, personally led people to set up a waterwheel on the dam. Under the impact of the water flow, the waterwheel slowly turned.
"Arthurs, Dragon Flame!"
Xia Lan shouted, and the surrounding wind elements flowed into Arthurs' mouth. The terrifying high temperature brewed in the blue dragon's mouth, and finally turned into a blue-green dragon flame breath that sprayed into the furnace.
Under the scorching dragon flames with electric arcs, the blast furnace turned from wet mud into a hard clay furnace, and even under the terrifyingly high temperature of the dragon flames, a layer of glass crystals appeared.
Originally, Xia Lan was planning to use refractory bricks to build an iron smelting blast furnace, but now there are many monsters wandering outside the camp. For safety reasons, she can only choose a clay furnace.
The soil that Varyan found last time was of very good quality. When mixed with the minerals found by the Code family, the quality of the blast furnace built was also not bad.
The rotating waterwheel pulled the bellows, sending wind into the inner furnace, but this was not to increase the temperature inside the furnace. Dragon Flame could easily melt the iron ore into molten iron. Xia Lan did this mainly to reduce the carbon content in the molten iron.
At this time, inside the blast furnace, the boiling molten iron surged under the stirring of the wind element, and the oxygen in the air pumped in by the bellows reacted with the carbon in the molten iron to produce carbon monoxide which was discharged.
The hole at the bottom of the furnace was opened, and the molten steel, as hot as magma, flowed out and was caught in a ceramic mold prepared in advance. After it solidified slightly, it was clamped with tongs.
After being forged into shape by an iron hammer tied to a waterwheel, simple breastplates or shields were created. Also, due to the influence of dragon flames, these iron tools emitted a faint blue light when the sun shone on them.
This time, it is not like just making some tools for emergency use, but it is completely completed and equipped to form a real army of the Kingdom of Faox.
Something unknown happened in the Southwest Storm Land. A large number of magical beasts entered the Emerald Basin and the Eastern Hills. Even behind the camp, ordinary beasts were driven out of the Dolon Mountains.
There are now a total of 157 people in the camp. After eliminating the old and weak, including Xia Lan, the army consists of 140 people, all of whom are armored warriors.
The steel affected by dragon flame was named blue-veined steel by Xia Lan. It is already a kind of extraordinary gold. It is not only harder than ordinary alloys, but also has the conductivity of fighting spirit.
You must know that even if silver can release fighting spirit, it cannot be brought into play without special gold weapons. Gold strongmen do not have special gold weapons and can only wrap the fighting spirit around ordinary weapons or hands.
In the hands of a true forging master, these extraordinary metals might be able to create a truly extraordinary divine weapon. However, Xia Lan doesn't know much about steelmaking. He can only remove the carbon and can't carve runes. He can only make a bunch of industrial replicas.
After melting out several tons of blue steel ingots, Xia Lan retreated to the camp to strengthen the defense and train the soldiers. He was very confident about the unattended blast furnace in the mine.
There are only a group of them in the entire Bolavis. Apart from the seventh-level and above magical beasts and their descendants in the Storm Land that Kannepal mentioned, there are no other intelligent creatures.
There is enough steel in reserve, and the food comes from the freshwater fish provided by the camp near the Emerald River. If there is not enough salt, you can ride a dragon to the beach to boil some.
Arthurs, the omnipotent dragon, is very important to Faox now. It's time to give him some sweet treats.
We carefully returned to the camp. He Li was patrolling the fourth team of the training formation with a whip in her hand. If she saw anyone slacking off, she would whip them without saying a word.
This made the first and second teams who had just returned from steelmaking shudder, and they couldn't help but feel fortunate to have a good captain.
Although the first team disliked their captain Good for being an orc, and the second team disliked their captain Arsen for being the weakest among the four captains, at least they were not as fond of violence as the leader He Li.
Now the camp is divided into four teams and implemented with military management. In addition to half a day of training, the first team is led by Good and is responsible for patrolling the fields and issuing early warnings. Because there are ravens patrolling the surroundings, their main task is to protect the newly reclaimed land from being destroyed by wild beasts.
The second team was led by Arsen, responsible for strengthening the camp's defenses. The moat outside the wooden wall, the deer antlers, and the wooden spikes buried diagonally outside were their masterpieces.
The third team was led by Volor, responsible for fishing, hunting and providing food for the camp.
The fourth team is led by He Li and is responsible for brewing wine. They hope to use the wine to exchange for foreign funds after occupying White Wave Island. The wine recipe is provided by Kan Nepal, so he holds a certain share.
The name of the wine is Tears of Blood. It was invented and blended by Kanani's wife, Cathy. The wine is mellow and has an endless aftertaste. Even Xia Lan, who doesn't drink much, fell in love with this soft and relaxing wine after tasting it.
