The Second Empire of Azeroth

Magni was also leading the Thorium Brotherhood in modifying the Apexis Tank. Dwarves love to pursue high firepower, so they wanted to see if they could increase the caliber of the Apexis cannon.

Although the number of Arkonite Crystals was still small, once the crystal production increased, increasing the caliber would be inevitable.

Roger deeply agreed with this because, besides him, no one could foresee what kind of enemies Azeroth would encounter. Not everyone possessed the strength of a demigod. Those ordinary people, relying on their mortal bodies, simply couldn't withstand those powerful demons and ancient evils. Therefore, developing technology and relying on external forces was the only way for the Alliance to cope.

However, the Apexis cannon was the crystallization of the Arakkoa's wisdom over thousands of years, and it was by no means something that could be improved overnight. Although Magni and the Thorium Brotherhood were both clever craftsmen, compared to the Draenei craftsmen, they were still inferior in terms of knowledge and ideas. Perhaps, only some gnome craftsmen could surpass the Draenei craftsmen in talent and wisdom.

Therefore, Roger felt that they should still stick to their old profession.

He took out the Firestone Hammer, "Everyone, I have a better project here."

Magni watched as the Thorium Brotherhood directly abandoned the improvement work on the Apexis cannon, and could only shake his head helplessly.

"I told you, it's better to find some gnomes. After all, specialization is key. You should focus on forging," Roger said, pointing to the Firestone Hammer. "Look, I've brought you so many materials, you have to help me forge a sword, right?"

"You still lack a sword?" Magni said with a smile, "Your Black Dragon Sword is a dragon-forged blade, I can't forge such equipment."

"And that Flame Blade is also a fine longsword. The person who forged it is very skilled."

Roger spread out his hands, "The Black Dragon Sword is indeed good, but it can only be used against humanoid creatures. If the size is too large, the Black Dragon Sword won't work. Although Sancus can use the power of fire, the amplification is too small, and it's already obsolete for me."

Magni nodded, "Alright! But you need to tell me what kind of longsword you want, so I can design the blueprints."

"Just follow this design!"

Roger took out the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, and Magni exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of weapon is this? I can feel a powerful force from it."

Roger explained the Windseeker and said, "You can refer to its appearance, and the energy charging aspect can refer to the Hand of Ragnaros."

"Leave it to me!" Magni couldn't wait to take the Windseeker and began to study it.

The Thorium Brotherhood glanced this way and then returned their gaze to the Firestone Hammer. They didn't think the Windseeker was stronger than the Firestone Hammer. On the one hand, it was because they didn't understand the Windseeker. On the other hand, dwarves usually used warhammers, and in their hearts, a divine warhammer was much stronger than other artifacts.

When the Firestone Hammer was forged, it was made according to Ragnaros's size, and it was not suitable for other creatures to use at all. If the Thorium Brotherhood wanted to create a new Hand of Ragnaros, they needed to melt the Firestone Hammer first, analyze the materials inside, and then pour it into a new mold.

The Thorium Brotherhood had already had a draft, and even many brotherhood members had their own molds.

Roger reached a deal with them: all the materials could be used to create a new Hand of Ragnaros, but he would need half of the finished product. The Thorium Brotherhood agreed to the agreement. They had a total of fourteen molds, and after the creation was completed, they could keep seven.

The Dark Iron dwarves once had the Seven Sages, but because they summoned Ragnaros with the previous Emperor Thaurissan, they were eventually killed by Ragnaros, and their souls were imprisoned in a hall. The Dark Iron dwarves named this hall the Hall of the Seven Sages, but the Thorium Brotherhood believed that the Seven Sages were not worthy of being called sages. Only people like them, who liberated the fate of the Dark Iron dwarf slaves, were worthy of being called sages.

They had already thought about it. As long as the Hand of Ragnaros was created, they would form the Council of Seven Sages and elect seven sages to lead the Dark Iron dwarves to glory.

And these seven Hands of Ragnaros would be the symbol of the Seven Sages.

With a goal in mind, the Thorium Brotherhood was motivated to work. They quickly used the magma furnace in Blackrock Depths to melt the Firestone Hammer, then decomposed the metals inside and re-poured them into seventeen molds.

Seeing that the Hand of Ragnaros was about to take shape, the Thorium Brotherhood quickly said to Roger, "Quickly put the essence of the Fire Lord in!"

Roger raised his hand and created fourteen flames with divinity, which were integrated into the molds.

"What is this?" The Thorium Brotherhood looked at Roger in astonishment, "This is not the essence of the Fire Lord."

"But the effect is no different from the essence of the Fire Lord!"

Roger pointed to the already formed mold, "Now, let's see our masterpiece."

The Thorium Brotherhood felt that they had been deceived, but now that things had come to this, they had no other choice but to see the results first.

However, when they opened the mold, a powerful flame swept over. They quickly dodged and stood in the distance, watching the Hand of Ragnaros, which was burning with raging flames, in surprise.

This seemed to be even more powerful than they had expected.

Roger walked over, picked up one of the Hands of Ragnaros at random, and weighed it in his hand. It was a bit heavy. It was no problem for him to use, but it would be a bit unwieldy for the Red Dragon Squad to use.

The Thorium Brotherhood hurriedly gathered around, wanting to pick up the Hand of Ragnaros, but they couldn't get close.

Roger put away his Hand of Ragnaros and said to the Thorium Brotherhood, "You choose seven people, and I can bestow the blessing of fire upon them, so that they can use the Hand of Ragnaros."

The Thorium Brotherhood looked at each other and elected the Seven Sages through a vote. After Roger bestowed the blessing of fire upon them, the Seven Sages picked up the Hand of Ragnaros.

From then on, the Dark Iron Dwarf Seven Sages gradually became famous.
