My Magic Age

While Old Zewang led the beast girls to transport food to Xinliu Valley, I took Katarina to the Magic Seal Workshop to check the engraving of the giant crossbow arrows, the Fire Gathering Rune Plate and the Miniature Tornado Rune Plate. The four old dwarf craftsmen happened to be in the Magic Seal Workshop, and they were replacing new gears for a magic engraving machine.

After several months of debugging and operation, the old dwarf craftsmen have basically mastered the core working principle of the magic engraving machine, but due to the limitations of metal materials and processing technology, they have not been able to produce a more tough and wear-resistant transmission mechanism and core device.

Katarina and I walked into the Magic Seal Workshop and happened to see four old dwarf craftsmen hunched over and fished out a washbasin-sized yellow-orange gear from the kerosene tank. This gear was polished with magic red copper and copper alloy. Although this metal material is slightly softer, it is not as brittle as cast iron and is easier to process.

They carefully lifted the gear with scaffolding, pressed it on the main shaft of the engraving punch, and inserted it accurately between other gears, so that the engraving punch and the magic seal machine became a whole.

The ground was full of oil stains, but the old dwarf craftsmen stood in the oil stains without paying any attention. One old dwarf craftsman had a pipe in his mouth. Every time he closed his mouth, sparks would fly out of the pipe. It made me tremble with fear, worrying that this little spark would fall on the kerosene and ignite a fire, and all of them would die here.

Several old dwarf craftsmen did not see me and Katarina enter the workshop. They sat side by side on the worn-out transmission shaft next to the oil tank and planned to take a break.

An old dwarf craftsman sighed and said, "It would be great if we could get some refined carbon steel from our side. At least the service life of these gears can be extended five times. Copper gears are only suitable for making clocks. It's really stupid to use copper gears for such large machinery."

"What else can we do? This is the Green Empire, not our Stan City. Let's not think about those unrealistic things." Another old dwarf craftsman said dully.

"The Dwarf Kingdom has always had this trade with the Green Empire. Maybe we can buy refined steel in the Imperial Capital." The third old dwarf craftsman said.

"But even if we can buy back the refined steel blanks, what can we do with the few files in our hands?"

The dwarf craftsman with a dull voice poured cold water on this topic.

The old dwarf who spoke first said, "Let's think of a way to make these magic seal machines run more stably, even if it's only one or two percentage points."

The dwarves raised their heads and their eyes fell on the huge magic engraving machine in front of them. With a roar, the magic seal machine had begun to print the giant crossbow arrows. A female dwarf used a crucible tongs to quickly clamp the red-hot giant crossbow arrows into the concave mold. With another loud noise, the engraving molds were put together and opened after a few seconds of stay.

The six red-hot giant crossbow arrows became dim in color, leaving clear red copper magic patterns on them. The female dwarf clamped the six giant crossbow arrows into the large iron frame next to them. Later, a special female dwarf was responsible for checking whether the magic pattern arrays on these giant crossbow arrows could operate normally.

An old dwarf craftsman sighed and said, "I really want to know how those goblin inventors did it in the Hex Age when the goblin civilization was at its peak."

"Maybe the answers can be found in the drawings that have been preserved." An old dwarf joked. He felt a figure swaying behind him, turned back to see me, and said to me with a hint of excitement in his turbid eyes, "Lord Jijia, I haven't seen you come to the Magic Seal Workshop for a long time."

For the dwarves, they like to live in caves. They have lived in the underground warehouse for nearly two months and have regarded this place as their home.

I nodded to several old dwarf craftsmen and took out a bottle of white wine from my magic waist bag and gave it to them.

Although the dwarves' favorite is always barley wine, they occasionally like to taste some other kinds of fine wine.

"Oh, kind Lord Jijia, thank you for remembering that we like to drink. Oh, it's a bottle of white wine with a year written on it." An old dwarf wiped the oil stains on his hands, took the bottle, and squinted at the words on the bottle.

The old dwarf's seemingly joking words deeply touched me, reminding me of the time when I was searching for the blueprints of the magic engraving machine. In addition to the magic energy machinery that combined magic and technology, there were also some other knowledge in the many parchments left by the Hextech civilization.

However, in the Hextech era of the goblin civilization, whether it was alchemy, magic potion, or other disciplines, they were far less famous than the magic energy machinery invented by the goblin engineers. Even after thousands of years, some traces of the goblin civilization can still be found in some ancient ruins.

Even if the gods want to erase this disgraceful history, some magic machinery has been completely integrated into the human world.

I once saw a group of pictures depicted on a page of a book, which showed a goblin alchemist cutting a piece of metal with a table knife in a metal plate.

It was a picture that looked a bit weird. The goblin alchemist licked his lips slightly, and his eyes radiated greed and snickering. I felt that the picture was very disgusting. Perhaps it was because of this that I wanted to know what the alchemist was doing.

So, I asked the senior who was proficient in linguistics in the Water Magician Guild to translate this text for me, and I also learned that among the magic conversion potions prepared by alchemists, there was a very magical potion called "metal softener".

Unfortunately, I was devoted to the magic engraving machine at that time, so when I found that the page had nothing to do with the magic engraving machine, I threw the page into the stone chamber.

I didn't know the forging level of the Green Empire before. In the eyes of the dwarves, it was so backward. They had the design drawings, but they couldn't process the parts.

At this time, I remembered the parchment and suddenly realized that it might also be a page related to the magic engraving machine.

So I said to several old dwarves: "I once saw an article about various solvents and softeners on a piece of parchment. The article said that there is a magic potion called metal softener. As long as it is applied to the surface of metal, it can make the metal as soft as fresh cheese. With a table knife, the metal can be easily cut into any desired shape, and the cut is as smooth as a mirror."

"Is there really such a magical alchemy potion?" Several old dwarf craftsmen asked me in unison.

"Whether it is true, let's go to the blueprint collection room and take a look." I said to the old dwarves with a smile.

I didn't expect that the dwarves would shake their heads like rattles when they heard that they were going to the blueprint collection room again.

There were even old dwarves who complained directly, "Oh my God! I have to read those obscure goblin texts again. Dwarves hate those tadpole-shaped texts. I would rather stay here and clean the casing with kerosene than try to figure out the meaning of those goblin texts."

No dwarf was willing to enter the drawing collection room, so I didn't force it, and took Catalina to the magic collection room to find the alchemy formula for the metal softener.

When I passed by Sister Guoguo's frozen stone chamber, I opened the seal of the stone chamber and took the opportunity to check the state of the ice monument in the stone chamber. The ice monument created by Scholar Sean was obviously not so easy to melt, but I found that Sister Guoguo's water element body frozen in the ice monument became clearer and clearer.

Scholar Sean told me that the reason why Sister Guoguo's water element body was like this was that Sister Guoguo was assimilating the ice monument bit by bit. Once her body completely disappeared in the ice monument, it meant that Sister Guoguo was completely transformed into an ice element body and gradually occupied the ice monument.

I stroked the surface of the ice monument with both hands and looked at Sister Guoguo's delicate face.

Katarina stood beside me, looking at Sister Guoguo with a sad face, and asked me: "For so many years, have you been looking for a way to wake her up?"

I nodded silently and said to Katarina: "It was only three years ago that I discovered Sister Guoguo's soul that was still in the war shackles. I found that she had slowly become an elemental body, but she could not wake up because of her incomplete soul. What worries me most is that once Sister Guoguo's water elemental body wakes up and has primary wisdom, then that water elemental body will completely occupy Sister Guoguo's remaining soul. That's why I asked Scholar Sean to seal Sister Guoguo's water elemental body in the ice monument."

"Fortunately, I have found a way to awaken Sister Guoguo's incomplete soul, and I have also gathered the soul gem and soul horn, and there are some clues about the ancient altar. The reason why I haven't taken action for a long time is because I need to accumulate some strength. You know, there are a group of level 4 magic beasts, swamp dragons, blocking my way forward." I said to Katarina.

Catalina stared at me in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure it's a group... and dragons?"

"That's what Moraya mailed me." I didn't intend to hide anything about this matter.

"So you have been preparing to slay dragons all along? Including building a town in the Trum area?" Catalina asked me.

"Building the town of Trum and buying a piece of territory from the Duke of Samoyed there is also to enable me to have the title of noble earl." I said to Catalina. "I trained those barbarian slaves to deal with the group of swamp dragons."

"A group of swamp dragons guarding the ancient altar?" Catalina asked me.

I nodded to her and said, "You can also call them swamp poisonous dragons. According to Takama, they are the real masters of the jungle swamp."

Walked out of Sister Guoguo's ice room, re-sealed the big stone door at the entrance of Sister Guoguo's stone room, and then walked into the other side of the blueprint collection room, and began to look through the formula for metal softening and.

In fact, there are many types of drawings and formulas on these bookshelves. It took Katarina and I a lot of effort to find this formula drawing.

I held the formula drawing in my hand and nodded to Katarina and said, "This is it!"

When I unfolded the formula drawing and saw the detailed annotations inside, I learned about this metal softener.

But a new problem was born. I am not an alchemist, so I can't understand the refining methods of these alchemical formulas at all.

At this time, Catalina reminded me: "Jijia, it's almost time for the airship over at the airport town to dock. Shall we go to the airport?"

"Um, is that airship going to dock so soon? Come on, we can't let Marvin and Si Pei wait at the airport for too long!" I hurriedly ran out of the drawing collection room and met Katrin Na left Xinliu Valley together.

After more than a hundred beast girls emptied two warehouses, their physical strength began to slowly decline, and they were no longer as fast as they were at the beginning.

Even so, the beast girls still gritted their teeth and insisted on moving the mountains of supplies in the warehouse.

I greeted the old orc Zewang and asked him to take the beast girls back to Xinliu Valley.

The old orc Zewang nodded to indicate to me that he understood, waved his hand to me, and then led the orc girls back to Xinliu Valley carrying supplies.

…

I stood on the hitching post in front of the gate of the airport town, and I saw Marvin and Si Pei in the crowd at a glance. The two of them walked out of the airport along with the flow of people. Marvin was wearing a black magic dress. The robe stands out among the crowd.

Si Pei wore an exquisite leather skirt with a knight's sword hanging on her waist. This kind of dress was very common among aristocratic girls in the imperial capital.

The two of them walked out along with the crowd and immediately saw me waiting at the door. So they squeezed out a passage from the crowd and ran to me with excitement on their faces. Marvin stretched out his only intact His intact arms gave me a tight hug.

"Why are you here now? You've made me wait here in the Imperial Capital for so long!" I patted Marvin on the back hard and said to him enthusiastically.

Marvin looked at the size of the Imperial Capital Airport Town and said to me with a smile: "Jijia, you are right, the Imperial Capital is really big!"

Si Pei and I also hugged each other warmly, and Si Pei explained to me: "The magic grocery store in El City has some minor problems, so it is more than half a month later than the originally expected date."

"What happened over there in El City? Is there anything you need my help with?" I asked Marvin.

Marvin smiled and said to me: "It's no big deal, it's been taken care of. Jijia, find a restaurant quickly and take me to have something to eat. I haven't eaten much since I arrived in the imperial capital today, and now I have nothing to eat." I'm going to starve to death..."
