638: Chapter 201 Zither City Current Situation (Middle)_1 638: Chapter 201 Zither City Current Situation (Middle)_1 Ye Yinzhu forced a smile and said, “It’s not a matter of head-on clashes, Elder.
Just think about it, when you lead three hundred men charging into tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, what will happen?
The Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry is the best of the best among our Qin City Warriors.
This time alone, they’ve slain tens of thousands of enemy cavalrymen, each killing over a hundred foes.
Facing such a multitude of enemies, although their Douqi can offer some defense, it’s inevitable that their armor will take hits.
Isn’t the fact that all three hundred Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry returned unscathed proof of the Dwarf race’s exceptional casting craft?”
Oliveira chimed in from the side, “Elder Lu, even the best equipment and weapons are meaningless if they can’t be used on the battlefield.
I’ve witnessed the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry sweeping through the battlefield with the gear you forged, leaving the Flore Cavalry powerless to fight back.
This is all thanks to your efforts!”
After listening to both of them, Lucino’s expression did indeed improve significantly.
“Three hundred against tens of thousands, I can’t believe you came up with that.
What do you think they are, gods or mortals?
However, if they truly did slay tens of thousands of enemies, then these damages aren’t that considerable, since none of the sets are truly destroyed.
But, Your Excellency Zither Emperor, you know as well that forging these three hundred sets of armor consumed a great deal of our precious metals.
Repairing them may be easy, but it also requires rare metals.
The Kongou essence we mined last time has been depleted after casting these armors and other uses.
What am I supposed to use for repairs now?”
This time, both Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira almost laughed simultaneously, exchanging glances; it turned out Elder Lu’s real purpose wasn’t to be angry but to ask for supplies!
Anya said amusedly, “Elder, don’t worry.
Now that Yin Zhu has returned, Red Spirit has naturally returned as well.
Do you really fear that we won’t be able to mine enough resources for you to smelt?”
Lucino nodded and said, “Then I implore His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, to lend us Red Spirit quickly.
Without him, we might have enough ordinary metals, but we’re running short on rare metals.
To be honest, after getting used to high-quality items, going back to casting with ordinary metals just feels…”
“Elder, what do you think of this?” As he spoke, a flash of bright silver light expanded beside Ye Yinzhu, a mound of silver metal as high as a small hill appeared beside him, emitting an odd silver light adorned with faint magical patterns, exuding a rich magical aura which took Anya and Supreme Elder Wei Ming by surprise, leaving them both astoundingly shocked.
“This, this is…” Lucino was speechless, his eyes wide as he stared at the “silver mountain” before him.
Ye Yinzhu teased, “What, even Mithril you don’t recognize anymore, Elder?”
“This is Mithril?
Damn.” Lucino couldn’t help but curse; he most certainly recognized Mithril, but he had never seen so much of it in his decades of life!
Staring dumbfounded at the “silver mountain” filled with magical aura, “Your Excellency Zither Emperor, this isn’t just rocks coated in it, right?”
Ye Yinzhu laughed heartily, “Would I deceive you?
What you see on the outside is the same throughout.
I wonder, would this piece be sufficient for repairing the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry’s equipment?
I think it should be more than enough.”
“Put, put…” Lucino eventually retracted the swear word he was about to say, after all, he was facing the Lord of Qin City.
His rough face turned beet red with excitement, “Using Mithril to repair armor, that’s quite the extravagant thought.
My God, my heart can’t take this.
With so much Mithril, we could make a tremendous number of magic weapons.
We were just worrying about not having enough Demon silver for manufacturing enough Magic guide cannons.
With all this Mithril, it’s perfect, simply perfect.”
Ye Yinzhu asked with curiosity, “Using Mithril to cast Magic guide cannons with magic arrays, would that work?”
Lucino nodded vigorously, “Of course it would.
Who else but you can summon Demon silver?
Without Demon silver, Mithril is one of the best metals for engraving magic arrays.
Given so much Mithril, we could make enough Magic guide cannons to turn Qin City into a porcupine.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “Then does that mean Magic guide cannons cast from Mithril would be less effective than those made with Demon silver?”
Lucino promptly responded, “Certainly.
They would also be vastly more powerful than traditional Magic Crystal Cannons, just slightly less frequent in firing and a bit less in amplification effects.”
Ye Yinzhu declared, “That won’t do.
I disagree.
How can Qin City’s defenses make do with Mithril?
Our future hypothetical enemy is Faran; do you think Faran’s attacks will ‘make do’?”
Lucino was momentarily taken aback, “Your Excellency Zither Emperor, I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”
Ye Yinzhu stated firmly, “What I mean is, we must not use Mithril in place of Demon silver to produce substandard Magic guide cannons.
Each one of Qin City’s Magic guide cannons must possess formidable power.”
“What did you say?
You’re saying that Mithril is inferior?” If not for the status of Ye Yinzhu, Elder Lucino truly wanted to slap him.
Although Mithril could not pare to Demon Silver, how precious it was!
Far rarer than diamonds of the same weight.
This man had the audacity to call Mithril inferior, substandard?
It was almost unbearable for the Dwarf Clan Master.
Ye Yinzhu seemed oblivious to the displeasure on Lucino’s face.
Anya and Supreme Elder Wei Ming kept throwing him meaningful glances, which he ignored, while Oliveira beside him seemed to be holding back something and turned her head away.
“Indeed, what I mean to say is that we cannot substitute Mithril for something inferior and risk diminishing our future defensive capabilities.
These pieces of Mithril would barely suffice for crafting armor and weapons.
As for Magic guide cannons…”
Before Ye Yinzhu could finish, Elder Lucino, already hot-tempered, couldn’t contain himself any longer, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, you are insulting the intelligence of our Dwarf race.
Do you realize how valuable Mithril is?
Although I don’t know where you’ve got so much Mithril from, this stuff is the most precious, not inferior substitutes.
Are you asking us to look for Demon Silver instead?
That nearly mythical material is certainly beyond what our Dwarf race could find.
If you won’t let us use Mithril, then I might as well strike.
This casting cannot continue.”
“Strike?
Really?” Ye Yinzhu’s eyes twinkled with amusement, his hand flashed with light, and a burst of colorful light appeared beside him, condensing into form.
It seemed much more lively than that Silver Mountain, but it was also one-eighth the size.
The surging Magic Elements immediately gave everyone around a thick, viscous sensation.
“What is this…” Lucino vigorously rubbed his eyes, “No, it must be an illusion, yes, just an illusion.”
With a chuckle, Ye Yinzhu said, “Elder, how could I let the Dwarves painstakingly search for metals?
You may not have it, but I do!
Look, is this Demon Silver enough to cast Magic guide cannons?”
Lucino stammered, “Enough, enough indeed.
Oh my goodness, Zither Emperor, are you a god?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “No, I’m not a god.
But whatever you need, please don’t be shy with me!
These materials are all for the Dwarf masters to use.
Aside from you and the other masters, I would not trust them with anyone else.
I pletely believe you’ll put these metals where they are most needed and manage them entirely.”
Lucino stood there, dumbfounded.
In his lifetime of casting, he would have been ecstatic to get a piece of Demon Silver the size of a finger, yet here Ye Yinzhu had presented him with mountains of it.
Is this even human?
Seeing Lucino’s reaction, Ye Yinzhu decided to add fuel to the fire, “Are these metals still not enough?
No problem, we have more.
Plenty of varieties for you to choose from.” While speaking, his Sumeru Divine Ring lit up, with each flicker, another small mountain appeared beside him, the smallest being one-thousandth the size of the Silver Mountain, while the largest was ten times the size of the “Silver Light”.
That one-thousandth, don’t underestimate it because that is Krypton Gold.
As for the ten times larger, that’s the least valuable, Kongou essence (diamond essence).
Of course, ‘least valuable’ is relative to what Ye Yinzhu brought out.
Anya’s eyes went wide, as did Supreme Elder Wei Ming’s, while Lucino’s eyes turned into the shape of hearts, as if he had seen the most beautiful Dwarf maiden.
The first Elder of the Dwarf race could no longer care about his status, and pounced forward excitedly, touching this and fondling that, his expression incredibly lecherous, and his drool almost dripping out.
“Yin Zhu, you’re too bad,” Oliveira whispered close to Ye Yinzhu’s ear with a low chuckle.
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, “I just hope that with this, we can pletely win the hearts of the Dwarves.
These casting masters are the real treasures of Qin City; what are these metals pared to them?”
In the plundering of the Flore Empire, Ye Yinzhu had stored all the rare metals obtained, as well as those mined within Flore’s borders, into his Sumeru Divine Ring.
How could he not know the value of these metals?
That’s why he did not let Jinse transport them, but instead, occupied some space in his Sumeru Divine Ring to carry these metals with him.
By using the Rank Nine Beast Red Spirit to refine them, these metals were segregated and impurities were removed, hence they were presented in small mountain forms.
Not a bit inferior, all were the purest forms.
No further refining was needed.
The light flickered again, but this time it was the metals disappearing, as the small hills one by one returned to the Sumeru Divine Ring, causing the brilliance that had appeared in the Elf Forest to quietly fade away.
