Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 99 Artisan Workshop

After communicating with the two high priests, Imrik has roughly understood the current situation of Vaal Anvil. Since the Church of Ardaeus settled in the Temple of Vaal, using the artifact given by Ardaeus, the activity of the volcano The rate is increasing and is expected to reach its previous peak in 15 years.

This situation made the High Priest of Vaal want to expand the church to allow more people to learn the skills taught by Vaal, because the lack of manpower is a great waste of volcanic activity, but this matter was shelved by Imric down.

Although Priest Vaal has a great effect, it is a transitional act in the eyes of the Dragon Prince. To become a Priest Vaal has to goug out his eyes, and he can't let the Church of Vaal change this rule.

It is unacceptable to Prince Long to allow his own people to self-mutilate in exchange for benefits. Today's production is enough for domestic consumption, and selling arms is not the best kind, as long as it is suitable.

Before leaving, Imrik said to High Priest Vaal, "Use Horadric Malus as an extra to create a thousand enchanted cavalry armaments."

The high priest nodded to show that he understood, took the hammer and walked into the blacksmith workshop. The oracle that Vaal sent down earlier had already asked the church to fully support Imrik's affairs, although he didn't know why Val would do this.

But the effect of Horadric Malus is obvious. If his lifespan is enchanted according to the original seal carving rune skills, it may be at most a hundred years, but now it may be more than 200 years. Time for Caledo to play some residual heat.

Seeing the high priest nodding in agreement, Imrik also walked out of the Vaal Temple. He has been to this place too many times, and it is nothing new.

I plan to find the craftsman workshop that makes the Eagle Claw Ballista. The problem of the Eagle Claw Ballista needs to be solved. It is best to come up with an improved version, which is three times more powerful, and then the arrow adopts the method of meteorite enchantment, which is specially used for Hit giant targets.

For example, the Hydra, the Black Dragon, the Manticore, and Druzzi's maritime military fortress - the Black Ark.

Accompanied by his attendants, Imrik followed him to the ballista workshop in Vaal Anvil Fortress. First, he had to go through a long mountain tunnel, and then he walked down a mountain road to enter the inner city.

Along the way, some people bowed their heads and saluted the prince from time to time, and the prince responded to them one by one and encouraged them to do what they should do. Caledon needs everyone's efforts to regain its glory.

Arriving in front of a white craftsman's workshop, the accompanying attendants first went in to report for a while, and soon a middle-aged Azul in simple craftsman's clothes came out in a hurry. Seeing that the prince was standing at the door, he immediately bowed and saluted. Some excitedly said, "His Royal Highness, your presence makes this place feel honored."

How long has the Dragon Tamer family ruled Caledor? Since the Chaos Invasion lost a lot of ancient data, it is difficult to judge, but there is no doubt that every member of the Dragon Tamer family is respected in Caledor .

Now, the prestige of thousands of years has been added to Imrik, and with the awakening of ten dragons, the folks have even begun to deify Imrik, thinking that he will be the greatest Caledor after the King of Conquerors monarch.

The situation where the prince's majestic tone was expected to make him stand up did not appear, but instead he put a hand on the craftsman's shoulder, and he heard the prince say, "No need to do this, I am honored by all those who worked hard for Caledor, It is not my appearance that makes this place glorious, but your presence makes Caledor full of glory."

With the support of the prince, the craftsman stood up straight with a slight trembling body. The encouragement from the Dragon Prince made his spirit tremble a little. Sure enough, the man in front of him would lead Caledon back to its former glory.

"I came to see your workshop, don't worry about me, just keep running as usual." After seeing the craftsman standing upright, Imrik patted him on the shoulder.

I don't want to be an aloof king. Although the sense of distance may bring authority, but the identity of the dragon lord is enough for everyone to at least respect themselves in action, otherwise a large group of dragon princes will not eat the dragon for nothing Royal subsidy.

"Please come in." The craftsman made a gesture of invitation and let the prince enter the workshop first. Although he was unprepared without prior notice, he was confident enough to make the prince satisfied with the ballista workshop.

After first entering, I saw some people holding carpenter's tools and polishing some wood. Although the wood chips piled up on the ground were a bit messy, it was obvious that they had been trained for a long time from the skilled movements of these people.

The person in charge of the workshop first introduced these craftsmen to the prince, "Your Highness, here we will initially process the wood needed for the ballista. We use high-quality wood from Avalon, which can guarantee that even after hundreds of years time, still allowing the ballista to operate normally.”

Under the leadership of the person in charge, Imrik learned all about the process of the eagle claw ballista from raw wood to deadly siege weapon, and even made himself feel a little bit artistic.

When these people made this kind of weapon, they invested energy and concentration, just like an artist was creating, and could not tolerate the slightest flaw in the work.

Sitting in the living room, Imrik picked up the glass of fine wine imported from Lothern in his hand. First, he could smell a mixed fruity aroma, which was very rich. Then there is the familiar fruity aroma. It seems that this bottle of wine was made by a girl with her feet. This bottle may be worth fifty gold leaf coins.

Val Anvil is the richest place in Caledor, and the Dragon Court will invest a lot here, and it is impossible for the court to take all the profits from armament orders from various kingdoms, which makes everyone's pockets accumulate A lot of gold leaf.

Compared to Kared and Wind Howl City, the people here are more wealthy, plus it is located near the volcano, the temperature is much higher than that of the Longji Mountains, the vegetation grows better, and the living conditions are barely good.

I didn't care too much about the price of this wine, it was all hyped up through operations, and the premium was very high.

If you want it, then the next day, several well-known wineries in Lothern will exchange all their stocks in exchange for the friendship of the dragon lord. I asked the person in charge who was sitting next to me, who only dared to occupy half the area of ​​the chair, and smiled. He laughed and said, "Don't be restrained, I'm here to order a batch of crossbows."

The person in charge of the workshop relaxed a bit when he heard it, but he was still a little restrained, "Please tell me, as long as it is something we can do, it will definitely be dedicated to the Dragon Palace."

Poured another glass of wine that the girl stepped on. Imrik felt that although it was a bit disgusting to say it, the wine was really good. After taking a sip, he said, "I want a siege that is more powerful than the eagle claw ballista." The weapon must be at least three times larger."
