Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 331 320. Melting Room

Fortunately, Margarita still knows her responsibilities as the dean of the college.

After the signing session, she needs to save the contract in the college's document library, and Tishaya will work with her to apply protective magic to the document.

Both deans before and after can clearly perceive that the current Valyrian steel business will probably be the main source of profit for Arethusa College for many years to come.

After Lan walked away from Margarita, who was smacking and looking very unwilling, he followed her directions all the way down and reached the lower floor of Arethusa.

This place was originally a place similar to a warehouse, and it was built by hollowing out a part of the huge reef where Arethusa was located.

After Lan En got down, he turned around in the stone corridor with seven turns and eight turns, and finally came to a heavy door with all-steel structure.

"Hey~"

Looking at the heavy steel gate, the young man couldn't help but whistle.

Fresh scratches can still be seen on the frame structure of the heavy gate, which is the trace of pressing the gate into the reef wall.

This is where the convenience of magic lies. Even in Lan En's home world, this all-steel gate, let alone dozens of tons, wants to break into the hard reef wall without destroying the original building structure. Nor is it easy.

And in Arethusa, no one will even feel the slightest movement during construction.

A small amulet was lifted by Lan En, and it dangled against the crack of the gate.

The heavy door opened directly with the sound of 'squeak'.

Accompanied by the dark red high-temperature metal light, a wave of heat radiated from the door to the outside.

Lan En raised his eyes and saw a tall, thin figure with a sword on his back walking towards the door.

"Hi, how are you, Berengar?"

The young man put away the door-opening amulet and raised his hand to greet his old friend.

The long-faced witcher had dark circles under his eyes, but his expression was cheerful and excited.

"Are you overexcited? Do you need me to prescribe you some medicine?"

"Prescribing medicine? No, no need. I drank a lot of refreshing potions to keep this device on track. Now I have to conduct a few tests, and then I can let it start working around the clock!"

Berengar laughed, stepped forward and hugged Lan En, and patted the young man on the back excitedly.

Lan En was at a loss for what to do with this unusually enthusiastic move.

"No, you let go first. Does a promising job and equity make you so excited?"

"Excited? I'm not just excited!" Berengar was not disappointed after being pushed away by Lan En, but was still very happy.

His cat eyes were shining.

"I'm literally young again, Lane! A decent, safe, prosperous job! Do you know how long I've been dreaming about this day? I've forgotten how many times I've had a family Approved blacksmith shop. And now, you help me realize my dream, even far beyond the limit of my dream!"

Lan En smiled and watched Berengar express his feelings to him. He himself didn't like the job of blacksmith, but he respected the dreams of others.

Lane did not speak until Berengar's excitement at seeing him subsided.

"Then tell me, what have you been doing since you came to Arethusa? All your time here? Sure, it looks like a big project."

Lan En walked towards the inside of the room, while Berengar followed after watching the steel door completely closed.

It seems that he has not only acted as a metallurgical technical consultant during this time, but also served as the security of this room.

Speaking of this room, Berengar smiled even more proudly.

"Yeah, it's not an easy job."

The long-faced witcher took two quick steps and walked up to Lan En to lead him the way.

This is a huge room that looks like a huge smelting chamber.

The rough iron ore is heated by the furnace until it is dark red and shiny, and then it is processed and shaped by conventional methods. After passing through a seemingly unnecessary conveyor belt, it is left aside to cool naturally.

Excluding the huge scale, the process alone is even similar to that of a blacksmith in a village, smelting iron ore into iron ingots.

Technically, the smelting chamber was horribly crude.

But it is also here that the commercial core of Valyrian steel lies.

"I don't have much to say about the rest. I just told the sorceresses the technology and experience of ore smelting, and they used magic to complete the previous pile of things. Magic is really convenient, but it's a pity that these sorceresses didn't like it at all. Dirty blacksmithing. The key is the conveyor belt"

Berengar took Lan En closer to take a look.

There is a groove on the conveyor belt, and there is a huge crystal ball, which is supplying the magic power of the conveyor belt.

"Ms. Margarita and Ms. Deshaya have extracted magic runes from the spell of Valyrian steel. As long as the original ore rolls on this conveyor belt, it will be considered to be spellcast. And the magic power The blood, or the biological tissue containing magic power, is on it."

Berengar pointed to the top of the conveyor belt, where there was a pipeline carrying something, connected to the conveyor belt.

"That's the monster material that Arethusa put in the warehouse to eat ashes before. The essence of water, the tongue of the tomb witch, etc. Anyway, you can use it regardless of the casting process."

"The cooled ore will be sent to an ordinary blacksmith shop outside. There is no core technology there, just ordinary forging. After re-forging, it will be a qualified Valyrian steel ingot that can be sold."

"Steel ingots? Others don't know the reforging technology of Valyrian steel."

"Don't worry." Berengar patted his chest and assured, "We don't engage in deceitful business. Buying steel ingots comes with alchemy potion. The formula was prepared by Ms. Tishaya. It is cheap and easy to use, and can be used to replace normal Process recasting spell."

After speaking, Berengar opened his arms and stood in front of the pile of dark red glowing ore to show Lann.

"We're gonna make a lot of money! Lane! Woohoo!"

But the young man was not as happy as Berengar. He didn't care much about making a lot of money.

It's just a matter of doing it when you're short of money.

Moreover, compared to simple things like making money, when he looked at this set of equipment, what shocked him was not the profit contained in it.but ideas
Warlocks are experimenting with assembly lines and automation. Using magic.

In the era before this, magic existed only as a luxury that a few people could enjoy or take advantage of.

People who control supernatural power will only serve the dignitaries and earn profits and power.

And now, they are beginning to understand how effectively magic can be used for production.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is just for convenience in their minds, but there is no doubt that the seeds that promote the advancement of the times are in it.

As a former history buff, Lan En has a wonderful feeling that the era has reached a dividing line, and he is in it right now.

This feeling simply does not last long, and his current energy is mainly focused on the intersection of the celestial sphere.

If something like Dagon pops out of it, or something even more powerful, it will be meaningless to everyone if it is out of date.

"I hope your work here has not hindered my order for you, Berengar."

Lan En crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at the old senior.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Berengar looked serious now.

"If it's your order, I'll put it first. That's my promise, man."
