Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 28 Fireside Chat
There was a lot of snow.Under such weather, most creatures will face severe tests and look forward to spring.

In the Lumu Valley, in the lord's hall, it was as warm as spring.Two large fireplaces are burning brightly, and the orange firelight adds a bit of warmth.

"So, you were actually picked up by old Erso?"

Theos is still his dragonborn image, he is leaning on the animal skin sofa, holding a cup of hot ginger tea in his hand.

"Yes, master, my tribe was targeted and wiped out by humans. With the sacrifice of my parents, I barely escaped and finally met the Saber tribe."

Woz and Erso sat on the sofa opposite Theos, but they looked a little restrained. The ginger tea was still on the table as it was delivered by the goblin waiter.

"Well... that's it." Theos took a sip of ginger tea, feeling slightly puzzled.What exactly did the Hogg tribe do that caused human beings to come all the way to target them.

But this is a sad story, and Theos is not going to pursue it anymore, and is going to change the subject.

"Is your clan settled down?"

"Thanks to the care of the master, everyone has been allocated a place to live, and the food is also sufficient."

Erso took over the conversation. Although Woz is strong in combat, he is not good at managing. These days, he is in charge of the Saber tribe's integration into the territory.

Thanks to Theos's extensive agriculture, the territory has sufficient supplies.

"Tell me about the dwarves in Furnace Castle." Theos asked, which was his main purpose for calling them two.

"Yes." Erso replied while sorting out the thoughts in his mind.

"The dwarves of Furnace were there a long time ago. We came into contact with them ten years ago. After a raid, we learned about them."

"They have no racial restrictions on the qualifications to enter Furnace, but you must obey their rules." Speaking of this, Erso couldn't help thinking how long it took him to let the Saber tribe realize the existence of order.

"They have enacted many prohibitions, the most important of which is the prohibition of killing each other. Violators' ethnic groups will be listed as unwelcome guests in Furnace Castle and will be permanently banned from entering."

Theos nodded. He understands this very well. If killing behaviors are allowed to proliferate, the management cost will increase sharply. Conversely, if a good environment can be maintained and there is zero tolerance for violence, then the management cost will be extremely low, because All people will be maintainers, even if they are unconscious.

He motioned Erso to continue.

"Stoveforge allows all entrants to freely trade items and intelligence, and at the same time establishes a law enforcement team and a mission hall. The law enforcement team is responsible for mediating disputes, and the mission hall can issue requests, and anyone can issue them. When issuing tasks, the dwarves will collect money from them. The deposit is guaranteed for the task at the same time, but when the task is handed over, a share will be drawn."

Guys, here comes the tax collection.Theos sighed in his heart.

"How does the trade work? Is it a stall?"

"You can set up a stall. At the same time, Furnace Castle also provides houses, but they are only allowed to be used, not bought or sold. Moreover, only those listed as welcome guests in Furnace Castle can apply for houses."

"I think it's not easy to be welcomed by the dwarves." Theos laughed.

"Yes, my wise master, it will require us to send the dwarves a large sum of money, or metal."

In this way, Theos finally figured out the operation mode of Furnace Castle. It has to be said that these dwarves are still very smart.

Of course, the premise of all this is strength.If these dwarves are not strong enough, everything in Furnace will be torn apart by the monsters in the mountains.

Theos raised his glass and drank the ginger tea in one gulp, then put it on the coaster on the table.

"Go back, I won't send it off."

"Don't dare! May my lord be well." Erso and Woz got up quickly and exited the hall.

"The Firecast Clan?...Interesting." Theos watched the two gnoll figures, one old and one young, disappear into the wind and snow, motionless.

Speaking of which, Erso has not aged since he became the descendant of Sios.But it may be a matter of habit, or an old-fashioned look.

"It's also a good choice to hand over the territory to Erso." Theos gradually began to recognize this cunning old werewolf.

Traveling through the years, human nature remained unchanged, and Theos continued to linger on the animal skin sofa for a while before standing up.

He was about to go to the blacksmith shop to have a look at the blast furnace, and Robbie was already waiting there.

Putting on his animal fur coat, Theos went out, followed by the little goblin servant at the door.

Now that he changed his race, it was inappropriate to run around naked all day, so Theos also rushed to make some clothes for himself and prepared to build a suit of armor.

It was getting late, and visibility was low under the snow.Not long after walking, a dazzling fiery red appeared in front of my eyes.

The blacksmith shop has arrived.

"You are here!"

He saw Robbie who was resting on a chair, and when he saw Theos coming, he stood up immediately.At this moment, he was also wearing an exquisite animal skin jacket, but he was more and more like the goblin in Theos' impression.

"Come on, go straight to the stove."

Theos came here this time precisely to experiment with the long-awaited idea of ​​"smelting iron with dragon's breath".

Passing through a long series of anvils, the further you go in, the higher the temperature is, so that hobgoblins and deep dwarf blacksmiths don't need to wear clothes, and they are still sweating profusely with their shirts off.

It needs to be explained that Theos didn't want to test directly in the blast furnace, he didn't want to have any accidents.

"This is it?"

Theos asked, pointing to the small iron furnace on the ground about two people high.

"Yes, master, specially customized according to your requirements."

Out of experimental nature, Theos specially asked Robbie to build a small stove.At this moment, the iron-making furnace in front of Theos is made of special high-temperature-resistant clay, and the opening allows the dragon's breath to directly act on the ore.

For the first experiment, Theos was going to try it directly with iron ore.

According to the blacksmith's instructions, after placing the iron ore, Theos told everyone around him to back off.

Different from Kavela's hip control, Theos's breath control is much more delicate.Theos in dragonborn form opened his mouth wide, and a beam of fire fell into the iron smelting furnace with great precision.

Robbie and the hobgoblin blacksmith, who had already kept their distance, still felt the intense burning sensation, so they had no choice but to back away.

In the furnace, the iron ore burned red and melted almost instantly, and the jumping flames burned up the impurities in the ore, and finally the pure molten iron was gathered into the mold and formed.

"It seems a little too pure."

Theos, who has gone through nine years of compulsory education, knows that the purer the metal, the better, but since melting the metal is so smooth, wouldn't it be much easier to mix other metals or other substances into alloys?
At least Theos has removed almost all the impurities. What is the most afraid of doing experiments?
It is interference that cannot be ruled out and cannot be detected!

"Sure enough, technology (magic) is the primary productive force." Theos sighed.

But, what ratio can make good materials?Thinking of this, Theos had a headache.

Seems like a research group is about to be formed...

But before that, a territory name must be given.
