In this way, the equipnt he previously promised the Blood Claw, a thousand Hobgoblin Heavy Cavalry and a thousand Hobgoblin Light Cavalry, has been secured.
Although these equipnt were prepared for infantry, modifying and adjusting them with magic is not difficult; the groundwork is here, and the consumption will be much smaller.
Yin Hong Plunderers, Hobgoblin Giants, and Goliath Battle Group’s equipnt can also be updated in one go, especially the Yin Hong Plunderers, who only have weapons but no armor.
The biggest problem now is that before high-pressure steam from the Colossus Underground City is delivered, these steel gates driven by high-pressure steam cannot be opened.
If transported by magical ans, the transport cost would increase significantly, including Gaven using a super-large capacity space backpack paired with the Teleportation Spell for round trips—ti cost is also a cost.
Besides, there’s an unexpected gain—Air Glass.
This transparent glass has similar properties to tempered glass, but its resistance to hamring and slashing is far superior to tempered glass.
It’s sowhat exaggerated to say it rivals the sa thickness of steel plates, but exceeding the sa thickness of solid wood is absolutely possible.
It also possesses a heat absorption characteristic that ordinary steel doesn’t have, not fire immunity, but heat absorption, just turns red without heating up.
Those spells that make tal weapon handles extrely hot, like scorching tal, are naturally ineffective against equipnt made of Air Glass.
Its defense against fla magic like Fireball Technique naturally surpasses ordinary equipnt.
Plus, its lighter properties compared to ordinary glass make its usage extrely wide; Gaven can easily list a bunch, using it to forge an Air Glass Shield is a good choice.
However, what he values most is its application on the Cloud Manta.
Previously, he was struggling with the main material for forging its ard platform.
If forged with steel, rely it would occupy half of the Cloud Manta’s load, practicality would be greatly discounted.
If forged with wood, it would be too weak and undermine its dignity.
No matter which one is used, the Cloud Manta’s inherent stealth capabilities would be greatly reduced.
Another issue is the perspective; in high-altitude combat, a broad view is crucial.
This series of problems was perfectly solved with Air Glass.
The new problem now is that Air Glass production is too low; to arm the Cloud Manta, the required Air Glass isn’t as simple as ten tons or eight tons; current production certainly won’t suffice.
Gaven turned his mind to those exhibition cabinets, there’s enough of them, tear them down and combine them with new production, should be able to arm this Cloud Manta in hand.
"Here, indeed, it’s here." Giharin’s surprised shout ca from afar.
Everyone gathered upon hearing, at the far end of the treasury stood a colossal Golden Throne, the size was astonishing, enough for a Storm Giant of eight or nine ters tall to sit on.
If it was entirely made of gold, the weight would undeniably exceed a thousand tons.
The whole throne resembled a golden dragon crouching on the ground, the dragon head wasn’t above but beneath; if a Giant matching its size sat atop it, one foot would directly step on the dragon head, the contempt contained within is glaringly apparent.
"Is this the legendary Dragon Skull Throne? The treasure of the Northern Shield Dwarves? Why is it giant-sized?" Gaven’s words carried undisguisable astonishnt.
Dwarves and Giants indeed are two races that resentfully clash.
Both sides wish for the other’s extinction, yet many places reveal similarities, consciously or unconsciously imitating each other.
Giharin shook his head and said, "This is not the Shanata Kingdom’s Dragon Skull Throne, but the Giant Empire Nyaureion’s Golden Throne; currently, it appears the Dragon Skull Throne’s presence here is unlikely, what I want you to see is the exhibition cabinet in front of the throne, that’s the greatest treasure here, another part of the Heart of the Mountains."
Upon hearing, everyone looked in the direction Giharin pointed, indeed there was a small exhibition cabinet made of Air Glass.
While the Golden Dragon Golden Throne was overwhelmingly massive and dazzling, it attracted everyone’s gaze, causing them to neglect this inconspicuous existence.
This showcase contained only one item, a crown infused with the Dwarven rustic and grand style.
This Dwarf King’s Crown is quite unique, not made of gold, fine gold, or other precious tals; it’s made of the most ordinary refined steel, but its Dwarf Rune Circulation isn’t ordinary, possessing two face guards extending to the mouth, the front stands a hamr, yet its hamr surface is hollow, obviously lacking a part, the shape identical to Giharin’s Heart of Regeneration piece.
Even Gaven, who doesn’t delve much into the forging way, glimpsed many things from it.
For example, the material is refined steel, rather than more precious, more dazzling tals like gold, because the Regeneration Gems originate from iron ore, known as the Iron Ore Heart; refined steel is naturally most suitable, most likely to trigger all its attributes.
For another example, the front showing a hamr anvil shape naturally pays homage to Father of Dwarves, Soul Forger Moradin, that’s its Holy Emblem.
When Giharin approached this Dwarf King’s Crown maintaining its steel essence with the Heart of Regeneration, both simultaneously emitted gentle rays, flickered, like reuniting old friends saying hello.
