Chapter 749 The Second Treasure
“This is the residential area, the residential area for those giant slaves.”
“Many giant corpses, I have never seen so many giants in my life.”
“This is a hill giant, this is a fire giant, this is a stone giant, this is a frost giant, there are even cloud giants, If we add the storm giants, the six core clans of the giants will gather together."
"They will all die of old age. It should happen at the moment we lift the mineral vein sealing technique. Even for these immortals, the seal here is too long, far beyond their lifespan.”
"I didn't expect that dwarves, who have always been kind and generous, can also commit such cruel acts."
"Charity and kindness are for people and friends. Being generous and kind to enemies is a crime against oneself. Those dwarves When I first made this choice, it was very likely that They had no choice but to do so. The dwarves had suffered massive losses and were no longer able to control and suppress these giant slaves. Perhaps they just wanted to seal them for decades or hundreds of years to gain a breathing space for themselves, and then they would go back and restart. Here, who would have thought that they would never have anything like this again? Opportunity."
"Many dwarf seals are based on this idea, but once the downhill road starts, how can it be easily reversed? Especially sealing the mineral vein is equivalent to cutting off one's most advantageous tool."
“Everyone has It’s a matter of luck, even for dwarves. Why can’t we be the lucky ones? This is what everyone involved thinks.”
“Yes, if it were us, I’m afraid I will have the same mentality.”
"It's a pity that there are so many giants. If we can inherit them completely, what kind of huge power will they be? Even the stone giants in the hands of the Death Chiefs Council are not as many as here."
" There is no need to regret it. If they are really still alive, we should be the ones thinking about how to escape now. Giants are not easy to control. Tribe, you see, many of them have armed themselves. They are preparing to unite to resist the weak dwarves. Sealing them here is probably a last resort. Perhaps it is because of their The rebellion and riots made the dwarves in this city make up their minds."
"What I regret is not them. death, but the way they died. If they died in battle or were massacred, I can have other ways to make them serve me, but if they die of old age, there is nothing I can do. Even the gods can only send them away. They entered reincarnation and could not resurrect them."
"The lord has so many methods, even the realm of the undead. I have dabbled in it.”
“I used to disagree with the idea that power is not evil, it mainly depends on who uses it, but now I have to admit that sometimes, some dark forces do have things that light forces do not have. The convenience, if used properly, will indeed play a positive role in promoting some good causes.”
"There are some things that should be treated with caution, especially the power related to negative energy."
"Thanks for the reminder, but if there was no negative energy, there would be no ghost wine of Vizeme Manor."
“This can have the effect of ghost wine , better than we expected. If the Colossus Dungeon is really as sultry as you say, the demand for this kind of wine will increase significantly."
"You are a typical pair. Marked.”
“It seems so, haha.”
"There are fountains and lakes here. I don't feel the magical atmosphere above. Where does this water come from?"
"We are now nearly a thousand meters deep below the surface, close to pressure. The water layer is gone, these fountains must be connected If you look there, the strong ground pressure will push the water up."
"I didn't expect that there would be so much knowledge inside. It seems that the living area is arranged on this floor not by chance, but with its own meaning. ."
"Why is there still here? A gate? In the inventory area, those dwarves actually put their inventory area together with the giant slaves' living area, so they were not afraid of the giant slaves rebelling and smashing these doors."
"Normal, those. Giant slaves might not be these libraries The best guard in existence, this door is twice as thick as the one outside. It is impossible to open it with manpower, let alone hammering it open with manpower, let alone there is a hole on it. Rune protection magic belonging to the dwarves.”
"I wonder what kind of treasures these dwarves have hoarded here. It's really exciting."
"Hurry, break the seal quickly, I can't wait to see it."
"Don't worry, the sealing magic here is more powerful and complex than the previous ones. Even if you have the key, it will take a little time to completely break it.”
The fifth floor of the Colossus Mining Area is not a mining area, but a residential area, a living area for giant slaves. It is full of simplicity. And in the huge cave, all the items are prepared for extremely large humanoid creatures.
As soon as they entered it, they saw a large number of huge corpses. Most of them were lying in their caves with peaceful expressions.
A small number of others had gathered together, wearing crudely patchwork equipment and various mining tools as weapons. They clearly noticed that the situation was strange, but the anger on their faces froze as soon as it appeared.
Whether it is the giant slaves who were sealed by the mineral vein sealing technique in their sleep or in their waking state, without exception, their faces are extremely old, and their bodies show no signs of corruption.
The way they die now is very mysterious.
It can be considered that the moment the dwarves' mineral vein sealing technique was successfully cast, they were already killed.
It can also be thought that the moment they released the seal of the mineral vein in Jihalin, they collectively aged and died. What their bodies showed was the appearance. The giant children who existed here would not grow up in just a short moment. As adults age and die, this kind of time tracing is more aimed at the soul.
Those without souls or with eternal life, such as stone thorns, were not affected at all. Everything about them, including their memories, stayed at the moment when the mineral vein sealing technique was cast.
These giant slave races are very complex and can be seen in most giant clans, but they are mainly stone giants, followed by hill giants, and only a small number of fire giants and frost giants. , there is only one cloud giant who is a noble among the giants, and the storm giant who is the highest ranking is not seen.
The total number is also greater than estimated, exceeding one thousand two hundred, because there are not only adult giants here, but also women and children, and the dwarves allow them to thrive here.
Let alone today, even in the era of giants, this is not a small number.
Their huge size destined them to have a terrible food consumption. The annual output of a small manor would not be able to support a giant family of three.
Whether it is the Dragon Empire in the Age of Dragons or the Giant Empire in the Age of Giants, although they have a huge territory, the number of dragons and giants has never been in the hundreds of thousands, let alone millions.
It is quite remarkable that a giant empire can have tens of thousands of giants.
They mainly serve as nobles, ruling and enslaving a large number of dwarf races to farm, forge and serve them.
The number of giants in a large giant city rarely exceeds a thousand.
This once again shows the glory and power of the dwarves here.
Even if these giant slaves turned into corpses, they were not worthless to Gavin.
The main material of the skeleton cannon studied at the Vizeme Manor is various bones.
Of course the skeletons of ordinary people are different from those of giants. To be more precise, they should be those of creatures with high hit dice, including extraordinary or legendary professionals.
Their bodies are tempered by professional magic infusion and are more compatible with various elements, including negative energy.
Using these giant skeletons to create skeleton cannons is more likely and more powerful.
But most intelligent beings are taboo about this matter, and they won't make it obvious if they can.
Most of the things that are displayed in the public places in Vizeme Manor are ghost wine, ghost eyebands and ghost cloaks. These magic items related to ghosts are not only not taboo, but people flock to them.
Gavin has more than once encountered someone wearing his own equipment and showing off their stunts in front of him. He used to feel a little proud, but now he is used to it.
What really aroused everyone's interest was that in the deepest part of the giant slave living area, they found another steel door, a larger and thicker one, and the magic fluctuations emitted from it were brilliant.
This is the treasure house of the Supreme Shanatar Kingdom. Their intention of using those giant slaves to guard the treasure is obvious.
Gavin and the others repeated their old tricks again and broke into the treasure house easily.
Even though there was no ordinary person present, he couldn't help but lose his temper and scream and talk again.
"Why are there so many giant-sized equipment here? Have we entered a dwarf's treasure house? Or a giant's?"
"Giant's full-body armor, there is actually a giant's full-body armor here. Not one set, but as many as ten sets of steel plates one finger thick. Can this be penetrated by human power? The giant wearing this kind of armor is definitely the king on the ground and invincible."
"These armors are not newly forged, but trophies. The dwarves have no way to use them. They can only pile them here as treasures. It is estimated that they will be used to arm those giant slaves when necessary."
"This Over here is the smelting masterpiece of the dwarves of Supreme Shanatar, the dwarf steel heavy armor!”
“So many dwarves! Steel heavy armor can at least equip a thousand-man heavy armor army, right?”
“It’s far more than that. Here are just the high-quality products on display. There are also boxes of non-high-quality products. I think the equipment is three thousand. It should be more than enough for people.”
“Huh? These glasses look a little different from ordinary ones.”
"It is indeed a little different. This is a by-product of the smelting and forging process in the dungeon. It not only has a super ability to absorb fire elements, but also absorbs a large amount of steel elements. It has a hardness comparable to steel. We call it Steel glass is also called air glass because there are multiple layers of air inside, making them lighter than ordinary glass.”
"Tempered glass? Let me try! Ha...it's really good, it's really good. I was still worrying about the materials for making cloud ray equipment before, but I didn't expect that such a unique material could be produced here. , how is the output of this air glass? ”
“The output is not very high, because they are heat-absorbing furnaces that absorb heat for a long time, from dry Trace amounts of sand and gravel brought out of hot rock formations are repeatedly smelted and calcined at high temperatures. They are cleaned up every time during shutdown maintenance. The output is a little over a ton per month at most. It is an excellent material for helmet face protection. The impact on the field of vision is minimized without reducing the helmet's defensive capabilities. Look at these dwarf stainless steel heavy armors, which are all made of this material. "
“I said that I feel that the shape of these dwarf heavy armors is a bit weird, and this is the reason.”
“If you add a black coating to this kind of air glass, you can make it into sunglasses. It can effectively protect those underground races with dark vision. This is how kobold goggles are made.”
"It's a pity that the output is a little too low."
"The low output is because the Colossus Dungeon is not operating at full capacity. Since it is a by-product of the heat-absorbing furnace, the longer the heat-absorbing furnace operates, the more heat it absorbs. , the output will naturally increase accordingly.”
“As long as it can be mass produced, we can imitate their output conditions, design more specialized production equipment, and allocate more energy for mass production. .”
"I feel ashamed to say that up to now we have only been operating and tinkering with the Colossus dungeon. Trying to imitate it, especially the core heat-absorbing furnace, is far beyond our capabilities."
“Everything can be learned. If it doesn’t work now, it doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future. Our top priority now is not to innovate, but to understand it thoroughly and find a way to make the entire iron ore fully operational. This is our primary goal.”
The weight of the Supreme Shanatar's treasure house is far heavier than everyone imagined.
There are more than 300 sets of giant-sized armors, among which twelve sets are extremely rare giant full-body armors, eight meters high, draped on a life-size stone giant statue, looking like a steel demon. picture.
Not to mention extraordinary, even if the sword of a medium-sized legendary warrior slashes at them, it will be difficult to break through the defense - at this level, it doesn't matter the quality, but purely uses the quantity to suppress people. .
There are more various large and super large weapons, up to a thousand pieces, mainly swinging sticks and axes and hammers. Those who can use such weapons usually do not have too high sensitivity. Focusing on strength and physical strength, we must take the path of losing ten skills with one force.
These giant equipment are relatively messy, and the quality is quite different. At a glance, you can tell that they are not made by one person, or even the same race.
They were all trophies captured by the dwarves of the Supreme Shanatar Kingdom. There was no one in their clan who could use them, and the equipment they forged themselves was superior to these equipment and was not worth remaking and recycling resources.
Theoretically, it can equip those giant slaves, but it is impossible to give them too much trust.
Therefore, their greatest value is to throw them into the treasure house to demonstrate their own strength and remember their glorious history.
This can be seen from where they are placed.
Twelve giant statues wearing giant body armor, just like the twelve guards guarding here, have a great visual impact.
Some of the more sophisticated armors and weapons are not placed randomly, but are placed in special transparent glass boxes, and the display is very rich.
If these giant equipment are of different brands, then the dwarf stainless steel heavy armor in the rows of exhibition cabinets inside is standard equipment. Many of the sizes and shapes are exactly the same. You can tell that they are on the assembly line at a glance. Carefully forged.
Don’t equate it with inferior quality just by hearing about assembly line.
What really determines whether high quality or low quality is mainly the material. Even those legendary forgers have very little chance of forging excellent products from inferior materials.
If you pay attention to the materials used, even if it is produced on an assembly line, it will easily be a high-quality product.
The product of the dwarves of the Supreme Shanatar is undoubtedly the latter.
The materials used for these dwarf stainless steel heavy armors are absolutely impeccable. They are all high-quality stainless steel produced in the Dungeon of the Colossus. They are hammered out with thousands of steam hammers. The dwarven style is rich-thick, simple, and reliable.
These dwarf stainless steel heavy armors are a complete set, not only including boots, armor, helmets, and arm guards, but also equipped with a dwarf heavy shield, a dwarf mace, and five dwarf throwing axes. .
There are many small boutiques that sparkle with magic aura, at least +1 or +2 magic equipment.
There are two thousand sets of such equipment.
In other words, as long as Gavin has two thousand adult dwarves who have undergone basic military training, he can immediately organize a two thousand dwarf heavy armored infantry regiment.
It doesn’t matter even if there are no dwarves. As long as those spellcasters who are proficient in making can use spells to help adjust, these equipment can be adjusted to a size suitable for any medium-sized humanoid creature, whether it is a human or a hobgoblin. It will be all right.
The market price of these two thousand sets of equipment alone starts at 20 million, which is not too high but not too low.
With such a large number of heavy equipment, even King Jihalin couldn't help but feel jealous.
Only in terms of quantity, the equipment arsenal accumulated by their Iron Clan for three centuries is inferior.
Various dwarf scale armor, dwarf chain armor, dwarf weapons and other scattered parts were piled up in boxes after boxes. After opening, they still exuded an oily sheen, as if they had just been maintained.
These spare parts of equipment are enough to arm another three thousand people to the teeth.
Although there are many of them, their value is far lower than the previous two thousand sets of dwarf heavy armor, and the market price is also over ten million.
The most important thing is that such a large amount of weapons and equipment is often priceless.
Gavin had previously negotiated an equipment deal with King Jiharin, and he was only prepared to raise tens of millions to arm a three thousand-man army with various spare parts as his main force.
As a result, the dwarves of Supreme Shanatar left a gift package of 30 million to their descendants, and now they are all benefiting from it.
