320: Chapter 96: Casting the Magic Guide Cannon (Part 2)_1 320: Chapter 96: Casting the Magic Guide Cannon (Part 2)_1 The bet between the Goblin Tribe and us has not yet been pleted.
To earn the plete trust of the Goblin Rippers and the Goblin Tribe, as well as for the future of Qin City, this Magic guide cannon must be cast.
Lucino, upon seeing the blueprints, became like Ye Yinzhu when he touches the Ancient Zither, his expression wholly transformed into a different kind, his gaze sharp and focused, closely examining the blueprint in his hands, not overlooking even the smallest detail.
Ye Yinzhu wasn’t in a hurry.
Although Rutz was the Clan Leader of the Dwarves, he was an outsider when it came to casting.
So, he casually took out a bottle of goblin-brewed fine wine to drink while conversing with Ye Yinzhu about the situation within Qin City.
Lucino’s inspection lasted for an entire hour.
“It’s astonishing, truly astonishing!” he exclaimed.
“I dare say, only the Goblin race could design something so intricate.
Although I cannot yet confirm its power, the ingenuity of its design is unprecedented.
It’s capable of an all-enpassing assault with no blind spots and can even manage the recoil when attacking in any direction.
This is simply miraculous.
Lord Ye, do you intend to mass-produce these cannons?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and replied, “Yes.
This is the result of the Goblin Laboratory, named the Magic guide cannon.
It’s also currently the most useful thing for the defense of Qin City.
Elder, are you able to cast it?
How long would it take to cast such a cannon?”
A fervent light gleamed in Lucino’s eyes.
“Of course, it can be cast.
In Ryuzakinus, I fear that no one else aside from us Dwarves could cast such a delicate cannon.
However, there are several difficulties.
First, due to the numerous parts, many of which are tiny, the materials used in casting must be sufficiently robust to withstand the vibrations produced when the cannon is operated.
Secondly, the true core of this cannon lies in the Array and the Crystal Stone used as its power source.
I can carve the Array, but you will need to find the Crystal Stone.”
Ye Yinzhu gave a nod of understanding, “That’s not a problem.
Elder, can you estimate how long it would take to cast a cannon like this?”
Lucino pondered briefly before responding, “For the first casting, I would need at least half a year, and it would involve the joint efforts of the Four Elders of the Dwarf race.”
A hint of disappointment flickered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes—it would take half a year to cast a single cannon, which was quite a long time.
Being old and wise, Lucino could tell what Ye Yinzhu was thinking and said with a smile, “Lord Ye, don’t be hasty.
Because it’s our first time casting such a delicate object, we must study it meticulously.
Once the first cannon is successfully cast, subsequent ones will be much easier to produce.
However, for this first cannon I hope you can provide us with the best materials.
I have a premonition that it could even be a superweapon.”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “I have already thought of that.
To cast such a cannon, at least one ton of metal is needed.
I’m referring to the key parts of the cannon body.
Red Spirit can refine one ton of Kongou essence in just over a month, all of which will be at your disposal for casting the cannon.
As for the metal used in the Array carving, we’ll use Demon silver, and if necessary, even Krypton Gold.”
Lucino stared at Ye Yinzhu in shock, “Lord Ye, are you really going to cast the cannon this way?”
Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “What’s wrong?
Is there anything inappropriate?”
Lucino swallowed hard, “It’s not that it’s inappropriate, but rather extravagant.
Far too extravagant.
I’ve never heard of using Kongou essence and Demon silver to cast such a massive item.
Do you realize that, when these two materials are used together in casting, even if only a portion is incorporated, I’m confident I can create a weapon no less than a Soul Device.
To use them to cast a cannon, it truly pains my heart!
The material hardness I mentioned earlier, in fact, by fusing just a little Kongou essence into Fine Iron, it would suffice to make the cannon.”
Ye Yinzhu lightly smiled and shook his head, “No, this is our first collaboration.
It is also the first time the Dwarf race has e to the Qin City’s Territory to cast something.
Doesn’t the Elder wish to craft a work that can be passed down through the ages?
Let’s do it the way I said.
We can find more metal later.
Where else can I find a Casting Master like the Elder?”
Lucino’s eyes shimmered with touched gratitude, what is known as the kindness of meeting someone—this was it!
He fully recognized how precious a ton of Kongou essence was—it was practically worth an entire city!
And that’s not even including the Demon silver.
His mind working rapidly, Lucino’s gaze suddenly hardened, “If we directly cast the cannon out of Kongou essence and Demon silver without needing to merge with steel and delay time, we can definitely plete this Magic guide cannon within four months.
However, please, Lord Ye, provide me with some Krypton Gold.
Since we’re using such luxurious materials, let’s go all out with extravagance; the amplification effect produced by the fusion of Krypton Gold with Demon silver will be absolutely terrifying.
You’re right, this is our first collaboration.
If we don’t take this opportunity to forge a Divine Artifact, how can we Dwarves claim our title as the Race of Casters?”
When Ye Yinzhu left, the entire Dwarf race had already begun to boil with excitement.
Under Lucino’s orders, various preliminary tasks for casting had already begun.
On the other side, Red Spirit, who had already extracted Kongou essence and Demon silver for more than ten days, had, with Ye Yinzhu’s help, delivered the first batch of materials.
Although these were still not enough.
The Magic guide cannon itself consisted of multiple parts, and they could already start casting some of them.
Having entrusted the casting to the Dwarf race, Ye Yinzhu immediately felt a load off his shoulders, believing firmly that the Dwarves would not disappoint him.
Although the time to gain approval from the Goblin Tribe would be delayed due to the manufacturing of the Magic guide cannon, he was indifferent to the wait.
Qin City was bustling, four thousand young adults had already begun training according to the methods of the Elves.
The daunting peaks of the Burna Mountain Range provided them with the best conditions to strengthen their bodies.
These people of Qin City were hunters by origin, more dexterous and stronger than ordinary folks.
With systematic training, given time, they would naturally grow stronger.
Night fell, and Ye Yinzhu lay alone on his bed, looking at the skylight on the ceiling, knowing he was fortunate.
So many people were helping him.
He didn’t need to be busy with many of the details.
Zi’s Army of Behemoths, with Oliver’s addition, had expanded to a hundred in number, the Golden Behemoth and Silver Behemoth had also bee three and six, respectively.
The strength had greatly increased.
With those three Polar Ice Demon Apes as well, he had a terrifying six rank Nine Beasts under his mand.
With Zi and these Behemoths stationed in the Burna Range, Ye Yinzhu had nothing to worry about.
The Behemoth Beasts, now acting under Zi’s orders, started to get busy as well.
Their task was to cut the rock.
With their Hundred-inch Claws, the hardest granite posed no obstacle to them.
Upon Zi’s request, they cut the granite into one cubic meter blocks, stacking them together for easy use.
It was also an exercise to maintain the Behemoth Beasts’ physical condition.
They did not dare to slack off on Zi’s orders, and every day, they transported the freshly cut boulders to the depression between the mountains at the outskirts of Qin City.
Anya had grand plans, shaping the Burna Mountain Range into a super fortress city was not only her wish but Zi’s as well.
Even though Qin City was far from having enough people to sustain and defend such a super city’s construction, Zi had already begun the preparatory work.
Later, it would turn out that his decision was more than right.
While Anya’s Elves were busy training the New Army, Anya herself was undertaking another meaningful task.
She, in cooperation with the Goblin Tribe, had the Goblins raise some wild animals for food, such as Boar Monsters, in a pastoral manner.
Anya then used the Ancient Tree’s breath of life to scatter a myriad of plant seeds on several peaks closest to Qin City in the Burna Mountain Range.
It wouldn’t take long for all these new crops to yield produce under the influence of the Ancient Tree’s vast life force—three harvests a year were definitely achievable.
Self-sufficiency was a goal Qin City had to pursue in the future.
This would not only save a significant amount of expense, but it would also prevent dependence on any outside parties.
The night had grown warmer, with summer nearing and, in a month, the Milan Magic Martial Academy would start a new term.
Yan Luo and the others had an understanding of music that even made Ye Yinzhu marvel.
In them, he seemed to see his younger self.
If it weren’t for the severe trauma that these Blue Elves had suffered, they might well have bee the best cultivators of the Pure Qinxin.
Even now, Ye Yinzhu believed that with their talent and the extensive influence of natural elements, they had absorbed in the Elf Forest raising their Magic Power to Yellow-rank magic level wouldn’t pose much of a problem in the short term, and future improvement would depend on their personal efforts.
The Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy Divine Sound Department was the best place for them to learn.
It was a pity there was no water source—if Qin City had its own independent water source, it would have been perfect.
Ye Yinzhu suddenly thought of this issue, but he didn’t worry too much about it.
After all, with Anya as a Grand Sorcerer of Natural Magic at hand, releasing a few Water Attribute Advanced Magic spells, Qin City wouldn’t face a scarcity of water.
At this point, all the basics in Qin City were in place, but development required time and money.
Even though Qin City could solve many things on its own, it still couldn’t make up for the lack of funds.
