Brand heard this explanation and couldn't help but break into a sweat, feeling fortunate that this grand lie was even taken up voluntarily by disha. He couldn't deny that it was indeed Martha's blessing. He prayed silently, then nodded as if it might really be so.
However, at this mont, Buru seed to be just coming out of that dreamy picture. He said with so emotion, "Lord, do you understand the structure of this furnace?"
Structure?
Brand was taken aback. He thought for a mont, then looked at the old man and said, "The structure is actually quite simple. It wouldn't be difficult to draw it out—"
"Then why don't we give it a try?" Buru imdiately beca eager. For this old man, the attraction of this Elental Furnace was just too great. He excitedly patted his chest and promised, "Lord, I might not have other skills, but in the art of forging, I dare say no one in Erune can rival . Lord, you might as well tell . Perhaps we can really recreate this thing!"
But Brand shook his head, "It's not that simple, Master Buru. Although the structure of this Elental Furnace is simple, there are still a few difficulties. One is the Magic Core and Magic Conduction Device that provide the power source. The second is what thod to use to collect the Fire Elents that are free in the air."
"The third is how to convert these Fire Elents into a continuous fire."
"The first difficulty requires Magic Technology, the second is a subject for Elental Mages, and the third has to be solved through Alchemy. As for the structure of the furnace itself, I believe Master you can easily overco it."
Brand shook his head, "But what about the other issues? Can the master solve them?"
Buru was speechless.
"Collecting free elents," disha said, "is actually not a very difficult problem."
"Oh?"
"Little girl, you know?" Master Buru jumped up and couldn't help but ask loudly, his loud voice attracting the attention of many craftsn and apprentices around. The old man's face turned red, but he couldn't suppress his excitent and asked again, "Then tell us, little girl, this thing is too important to us—"
Brand shook his head, also not thinking this thing was of much importance, just a furnace after all. Although it solved the issue of fuel scarcity—perhaps it could also improve the slting of the silver mines in Shafelund—but Tonyger did not produce iron, so this other bottleneck could also pronounce the death sentence on Buru's workshop expansion plan.
In his plans, the expansion of the workshops in Lengshan Domain would have to wait until after his trip to Ambeser was completed.
However, Brand obviously didn't expect that his subtle expression of inner thoughts would not escape Buru's eyes. The old man imdiately turned on him, sternly lecturing, "Lord, do not underestimate this thing. It can save you a lot of money—with this money, you can buy more iron ore, and I can make more weapons and armor for you, so you can gather more troops—"
He paused, "Isn't the Lord devoted to the Princess? Without an army, Lord, you will even have difficulty protecting yourself, so how can you support the Princess?"
"The situation in the North is getting more critical every day. I don't think the Princess can wait until the day you slowly grow to full strength."
Brand felt a headache coming on when he heard this Forging Master start to nag incessantly and quickly nodded in agreent. But when he heard the ntion of money, suddenly a bright idea flashed in his mind, changing his initial perception.
This Elental Furnace, if Buru could see its significance, others would likely see it too. Not to ntion its significance for the forging and slting industry, even if it were miniaturized and sold to those nobles, it would be a highly lucrative business venture.
Brand, with his decades of experience, naturally knew that this was a profitable business. He had originally been worried about what goods to bring to Ambeser, but now it seed that a clear path was laid out before him.
Thinking of this, he quickly nodded and interrupted Buru, saying to disha, "Then tell the master, disha."
disha smiled gently and replied quietly, "Actually, the thod is simple, using a Magic Array will suffice."
"Magic Array?"
Brand frowned, "But releasing fire elents also requires a Magic Array. Absorbing and releasing Magic Arrays cannot be stacked together. Moreover, the absorbing Magic Array cannot withstand harsh conditions, unlike the releasing array which can withstand high temperatures…"
"Using a reinforced array would likely affect the effectiveness of absorbing free elents."
Though Brand only had a few levels in Alchemy at the mont, his past ga experience still remained. These Basic Knowledge points were not difficult for him.
"Separate them."
"If separated, how would the conduction of elents work?" Brand knew that Magic Conduction was no longer an issue in today's Vorn, but the conduction of elents was another matter altogether.
At least to date, he hadn't heard of anyone transferring elents through any thod—except if the Elental Mage did it personally—but if an Elental Furnace required an Elental Mage to be on duty 24 hours a day, it would take at least six to seven official Elental Mages to be sufficient.
This investnt seed sowhat cost-ineffective.
"Lord, you forget, I am a Silver Elf," disha whispered.
Brand was startled, what did this have to do with a Silver Elf?
"Little one," but at this mont he suddenly heard Otarais's voice in his mind, "I've been aning to ask, is that Silver Elf girl following you an Elf Royal Family mber?"
