The knight in the abyss

Chapter 39 Frost Slash

The next morning, Lancelot and his party came to the craftsman's dormitory in the blacksmith's district, where Barende was already waiting for them.

The old dwarf was also fully armed today. He was wearing a set of slatted armor, a dwarven helmet with sharp horns on his head, a folding shovel and a dwarven pickaxe around his waist, and a heavy steel shield on his back.

"Hey, Dad, your outfit is good, I haven't seen you dressed like this for a long time." Pluto's face was full of excitement, like a child who was going to play with his father.

"Your father and I also smashed a few orcs in the head when I was young!" Barend said with a smile, "My agility may not be as good as your young man, but your old man has been iron for so many years, and his strength is still a little bit. of."

"Dad, your equipment is probably useless." Pluto's stinky fart, "Lancelot has given me special training these days, you can stand behind me with peace of mind!"

"Little bastard has grown up, but don't be so confident, your father still has two strokes." Barende scolded with a smile.Immediately turned to Lancelot: "Sir, your weapon is ready, I guarantee you are satisfied!"

After speaking, he took out a long object wrapped in thick leather from the corner of the room and handed it to Lancelot.

With the warrior's enthusiasm for new weapons, Lancelot couldn't wait to unpack his new toy.In front of him was a beautiful long sword, slightly less than 4 feet in length.The body of the sword is hidden in a scabbard of some kind of black leather, with a sash; the cross guards are slightly raised towards the point of the sword like a pair of bull horns, and are thickened; the hilt is in a dark The red leather is wrapped around in circles, and the end is a metal ball that acts as a counterweight.

Lancelot grabbed the hilt and pulled it out of the scabbard.

"Uh, is this?" Karalin on the side showed a surprised look.

I saw that the blade that was drawn out was about four fingers wide, and the color was much lighter than that of ordinary iron weapons. With the action of drawing out a cold light, it seemed that the temperature in the room had dropped.

"This is definitely my favorite work. The hilt is wrapped with fire snake skin, which has a good holding effect. The small ball at the end is detachable, which can be easily changed into the shape you want, or with Magic items with special effects." Barende raised his chin proudly, "Try it now, Ser Lancelot."

Lancelot pulled out the weapon completely, first waved it casually, feeling the perfect balance of the weapon; then lightly flicked the blade, listening to the crisp 'ding' sound of it, like a happy birds.

"This is definitely one of the best weapons I've ever seen." Lancelot nodded gratefully to Barende. "What's its name?"

"This is a weapon made of cold iron, which is naturally cold, so I named it 'Frost Slash'."

"Very poetic name, it suits it. But where did you get the cold iron? Aren't we about to set off to find the cold iron?"

"When I applied to the Craftsmen Committee for mine information, I told them that I was looking for cold iron ore. They only knew that this ore could be treated as ordinary iron ore, except that it required a little extra temperature and time."

"I told them that cold iron has special properties, but it must be processed with a special process. They said that there is a little cold iron ore in the warehouse. If you want to check these materials, you must first prove the value of these cold iron ore. Bar."

"When I brought this sword to them, they realized the value of this ore almost immediately, and said they would fully assist me in my exploration. We just need to find the ore vein this time, and they will organize manpower to mine in the future. , and I only need to process these ore into long swords, axes, hammers, or whatever form Lord Tijana wants in the shop."

"This is really great." Lancelot carefully tied the long sword to his back, and now two hilts stretched out from his shoulders, one was his original two-handed giant that was nearly 6 feet long. Sword, one is the newly acquired 4-foot long sword 'Frost Slash' this time.

"Dad is so partial, I want it too." Bruto shouted loudly.

Barende waved his hand and knocked on his son's head, "Your hammer has used all the mithril given by Lancelot, that thing is much more precious than cold iron, and I don't know how to be grateful!"

"Uh, yes." Pluto smiled shyly, shut up and didn't speak.

"Have you found a place where there may be cold iron ore?" Lancelot asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

"I found it, but I have to test this kid." Barende tapped Pluto on the head again, "Stinky boy, where is the cold iron ore most likely to appear, remember?"

"On the sunny side of the mountains, the mine is deep enough and the geological age is relatively new, and there is no accompanying hematite, and..." Bruto covered his head with a sullen face, "There is another one that I originally remembered, but it's all your fault, Dad. It was so hard that I can't remember."

"And there is no trace of lava flowing in the mine! If you can knock it out, it means you don't remember well!" Barende almost growled into Pluto's ear.

After letting Pluto go, he turned to Lancelot and said:

"I have found several mines that meet the conditions, and the most suitable one is an ancient mine that existed before the establishment of Shuanghe Town. No one can say the exact depth, but it is at least [-] feet. According to the records, cold iron has been found there before, and I speculate that there may be a large vein there, waiting for us to find it."

"Sounds great." Lancelot shrugged. "Where is this mine?"

"It's at the foot of the Broken Mountain Range in the south, about two hours away from here, and it's still within the sphere of influence of Shuangqiao Town. The mining of this mine has become more and more difficult over the years, and now there are very few mining teams going there. , many of the mining sections inside have become lairs of underground creatures." Barend frowned, "Actually, a 12-member mining team should have returned three days ago. Although it was a group of nasty ashes A team of dwarves, but after all, everyone is serving the succubus lord of Twinbridge Town, and we'd better find out where they are if possible."

"Grey Dwarf? What is that?"

"A bunch of lunatics," Pluto explained succinctly.

"They were once one of us, but they have fallen, and they hate us compatriots who still believe in Muradin." Barend shook his head and sighed, "Even in the devil's homeland, they are very resistant to being in the same place as us. Working together under the roof.”

"It's all because of their tragic experiences. Because of their longing for underground wealth, they dug too deep and came into contact with an evil race that can control biological minds, and then they were enslaved for generations." Karalin explained, "Ironically, they were finally freed, but with the help of the evil god who pretended to be the Lord of the Nine Hells 'Asmodeus'. The experience of being enslaved and the evil guidance of the evil god made the gray dwarves permanent Changed. They went from slaves to slave owners, just as evil as their former masters."

"This is the eternal shame of our dwarves, reminding us not to be blinded by greed." Barende sighed. "But there are always fools who can't remember, such as this one in front of you."

"At least we have a chance to make up for this mistake." Lancelot clapped his hands, "Are you all ready? Let's go!"

　A total of 96 words have been written. I would like to thank all book friends here. Your support is my biggest motivation!Especially the book friend's '30 style dried salted fish', which is more than what I secretly voted for myself haha~ Thank you!The issue of update speed is also explained here. Indeed, it can only be done once a day. This kind of book with DND background is really difficult to write. As a part-time writer, there is not much time per day, and it takes time It takes a lot of effort to check the information, so it is even slower.I haven’t given any updates since the book was published for more than [-] days. It’s my sincerity!So I hope everyone can continue to support me in the future, and I have nothing to do with two recommendation votes to let me know that the book is still read haha!So please look forward to the next plot, this DM is going to start a group~
