my age of magic

Chapter 181 Chapter 181

Under the ten huge iron pots, there are still a lot of corpses that have not been burned. The raging flames enveloped the big iron pots, and the roiling heat waves can be felt tens of meters away. Dozens of gray dwarves slaves Wearing a thin layer of cowhide apron, squatting side by side, several orc supervisors are holding whips and scolding: "Master Kuz, the chief of the Raitu tribe, gave you lazy people food and clothing, so that you don't have to worry about it." Hunger and disease, and occasionally even a piece of sausage on top of every meal, what do you think is the reason for this?"

"This is a reward for the hardworking. That night, you desperately hooked those stinky zombies from the trench. Everyone saw it. Rewarding the hardworking and punishing the lazy is our principle." The orc What the overseer said was not too much. They wanted to find the problem with the gray dwarf slaves. Maybe the group of gray dwarf slaves forgot when they put the last zombies into the oil pan after ten days of continuous work. Maybe adding a solvent.

But those dull gray dwarves squatted on the ground, and no one could speak.

We walked over in the face of the roiling heat wave. I didn't feel the heat of these raging fires very clearly. I could only feel a little warm from being roasted all over my body. I didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, it was Kuz and Guoguo's cheeks. There was a blush, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was really too hot here.

Maybe it's because I was burned by fire poison when I was young, which made my body have a strong fire resistance. Anyway, I didn't feel any discomfort at this time. Beside the overseer.

We have been getting along for a long time. These orc supervisors all know me. They know that I am the best friend of Kuz, the chief of the Raitu tribe. My sister came together and knew what we were talking about. For a while, all the orc supervisors looked apologetic. For them, this job was not done beautifully, and their faces were a little bit uncomfortable.

Kurz came up and said this: "Maybe there is a small mistake in the formula, it's not a big deal, is it just the 67 corpses of the corpse king?"

Sometimes, I feel that he has been with me for a long time, and he has lost the sharp edges and corners of the orc werewolf, like a pebble washed by the river for countless years, it has become very smooth, and it will be easy to speak Acceptable.The orc overseers looked at each other, and one of them stood up and explained: "Our brother accepted the job of the chief, and we will not be sloppy day and night. Every time we release the dissolving agent, we will send people far away. Staring, we are not as resistant to fire as those gray dwarves who are used to living in lava caves, so we stare from a distance every time, but we can be sure that there will be no mistakes every time we put blue alum crystal sand..."

"Only the corpses of these 67 corpse kings have not melted, but what is strange is that these corpses still sank at the bottom of the oil pan last night, and now they are floating on the corpse fire oil!" Another orc supervisor added road. "And from last night to now, there is no difference in the corpse fire oil harvested from the ten cauldrons!"

"Come and take me there!" I said to a gray dwarf squatting on the edge in Orc language.

This strong gray dwarf was wearing a cowhide apron, with his arms bare, looked up at me, and said in a low voice, "I can't go any further, it will be too hot any closer, a child like you can't bear those heat waves of!"

"It doesn't matter. I have lived in the dwarf country for two years, and I have seen many dwarf craftsmen's iron furnaces. Some iron furnaces are built on lava belts, which are much hotter than here!" I replied with a smile, and then faced the heat wave go inside.

The gray dwarf slave behind me hurriedly followed me. Even though I stood on the shoulder of the gray dwarf slave and walked in, I still couldn't see the situation in the oil pan. Shelf, at this time, Sister Guoguo probably thought it was too dangerous, as long as I accidentally fell off the wooden shelf, or if the gray dwarf slave showed ill intentions, I might fall into the rolling corpse. There has been kerosene.

The truth of the matter is actually very simple, as long as someone fishes out the corpse of a corpse king from the oil pan, the truth will become clear.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the formula of corpse fire oil. The problem is that the skin and bones of the swamp corpse king are extraordinarily tough and cannot be dissolved by the blue alum crystal sand. The skin and bones of the corpses were not dissolved by the blue alum crystal sand, but after a certain period of refining, the skin and bones of ordinary zombies would shrink and become darker and darker, eventually forming a shape more than one meter long. The dwarf slaves used iron hooks to pull out the remaining corpses from the oil pan, and many such corpse residues soaked in corpse fire oil became fuel under the cauldron.

However, the body skin of the swamp corpse king did not shrink until the end. What it looked like before, it still looked like it did in the end. That's why those orc overseers who watched from a distance discovered that something was going on. When the corpse king's body was pulled out of the oil pan, it was found that the fat in the corpse king's body had disappeared, leaving only an empty skin bag and a white bone.

Walking out of the iron pot with the remains of a corpse king, the two gray dwarf slaves dragged the corpse king's skin as light as nothing. I asked them to drag the corpse further away and watched With this giant headless corpse, we can still clearly imagine how majestic this corpse king was at the beginning. It was so powerful that it could also rebuke a large number of ordinary zombies. If he hadn't left the death swamp, maybe it could have become King for life.

"What's going on?" Kurz asked me when he got closer and realized that it was an empty skin.

After I lowered my head and observed carefully, I said: "The dissolving agent, blue sail crystal sand, can't dissolve these corpse skins and bones. In fact, the oil inside has been completely refined into corpse fire oil!"

I took out the spiked dagger and carefully stabbed the skin of the corpse king. The leather was extremely tough. When the sharp spiked dagger cut it, only a light white mark was left. Kurz and I were dumbfounded. If the Swamp Corpse King's skin was so tough during the battle, then we might be doomed to accept a defeat.

Kuz quickly waved to the distance, and called a patrolling female beast warrior, and asked her to stab the corpse king's skin with the magic antelope short spear. The short spear pierced into the leather.At this time, I thought of Katerina's Sword Breaker. If she was there, use the Sword Breaker to test how tough this corpse skin is.

For a long time, when Qige and Katerina were by my side, I couldn’t feel their kindness, but when they really left me, it made me extremely uncomfortable. I’m used to having Qige When I was with Katerina, I started combing my hair every morning. Even though my hair was just broken, the careful Katerina would take care of it for me. Sister Guoguo, a magician, is obviously careless a little.

"It's so tough, this thing is much tougher than the magic antelope leather! It would be good if it was made into leather armor, well, there is not much smell, and those disgusting green juices have already turned into corpse fire oil!" I leaned my head over. , Wen Wen said.To be honest, there is still some strange smell from the corpse king's leather, but it is absolutely tolerable.

Kurz was obviously very interested, and asked curiously, "Can this leather be made into leather armor?"

The female beast warrior on the side looked ugly, so I asked her: "If this leather can be made into a very tough leather armor, would you like it?"

She shook her head like a rattle without hesitation, then looked at the poorly crafted magic antelope leather light armor on Kurtz with some envy, and said: "We orc warriors all like the magic antelope leather light armor worn by the chieftain." !"

"Heh, this request is not too high! After the corpse problem in the dead swamp is resolved, I will take you to the depths of the wasteland. At that time, you will hunt a magic antelope yourself, and I will go to Gludin Find the best tanner to sew the magic antelope leather light armor for you!" After hearing this, Kurz happily promised the female orc warrior.

The female soldier had stars in her eyes, she nodded fiercely and agreed, "Yeah!"

It can be seen that this is a beast female warrior who is not used to telling lies. Many beast girls have very straightforward personalities. This character is very pleasing. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Came out well.

I pressed her, "What do you think if this corpse skin is made into a shield?"

"Ah?" The beast female warrior didn't understand why I asked her how she felt. All along, no one cared about their feelings. Later, even they themselves didn't care about their own feelings.So when I asked her how she felt, she didn't know how to answer, but said hesitantly: "I obey the orders of the lord!"

Kuz didn't pay attention to the female beast warrior who worshiped him, but leaned towards me and said, "You mean to make these corpse king leather into shields?"

I suddenly had an idea like this, so I started to discuss: "Well, leather shields covered on iron and wood boards! These female warriors have enough attack power after they have short spears with magic antelope horns. For zombies, their lethality is enough, but for death scythes who are good at sneak attacks, they are no different from pieces of paper. If each female warrior can be equipped with a small shield, it may increase a lot of defense. For them Mobility is also very important. These fighters are very good at running. They are different from the wolf cavalry of the orc werewolf. Charge, as throwers, they just need good mobility, but they also need to protect themselves."

Among these people, Kurtz is the one who can understand me the most. He followed my train of thought and said, "So we use a leather shield, which is light and has a certain defensive power?"

I replied: "Yeah!"

It is not easy to find a knife that can easily cut through the leather of the corpse king. In the end, Sister Guoguo found the swordsman Duo Lunlie and borrowed his sword to cut the leather of the corpse king. Then we found that the leather of the corpse king There is still a complete set of bones that are crystal clear and jade-like, and Duolunlie's sharp long sword cuts through the bones, and there is only a shallow trace.

"Bone Shield!"

I thought of an essay I saw on the old Kuru's sheepskin scroll. It is said that a powerful army once appeared in the orc tribe. In the army, there was an army wearing bone armor and a bone helmet. Bone spears and bone shields, they are almost invincible in the orc world. Later, when fighting the demons of hell, the succubi legion of the hell race cooperated with dozens of evil eye kings and a Medusa queen. Trapeze this unit near the Black Dragon's Lair.

Now seeing this crystal-clear white bone, I thought of the bone shield equipped by that army. It is said that only the hard sternum of a terrible knight can make the strongest bone shield, but it seems that the sternum of these swamp corpse kings is also very strong. That's right, you only need to use the sharpest saw to saw the sternum from the side. The front chest of the corpse king is a complete bone shield. If it is covered with a layer of corpse king leather, it will be light and strong enough.
