Locke jumped off the ice wolf king. Seeing that Kotter and the others were ready to face a formidable enemy, he said helplessly, “Restrain yourself. You made such a big noise.”
The ice wolf king let out a low cry as if he had acknowledged his mistake.
On the other side, Kotter and the others all took a deep breath and looked at Locke and ice wolf king in disbelief.
When did the level-2 magical beast become so obedient and easy-going? At this time, their minds were full of questions.
“Can’t you recognize me?”
Locke made fun of them when he saw that they were stunned and didn’t respond for a long time.
“Master Locke, this ice wolf king?”
Kotter stared at the ice wolf king nervously, fearing that the ice wolf king would burst out and hurt people. Kotter felt a strong sense of threat from the wolf king. He was very clear that although they both were at level 2, he was definitely not a match for the ice wolf king.
“I met him in the jungle with Athena. Now he has surrendered to us.”
Locke patted the ice wolf king’s head and explained with a smile. After saying that, he said to Kotter, “From now on, she will be the guardian magical beast of our territory.”
Surrendered? Guardian magical beast? Looking at the ice wolf king standing honestly at the side, Kotter and the others were all shocked.
“Master Locke subdued the magical beast of level 2!”
“There is actually a magical beast of level 2 in Lister. The level-2 magical beast is also our guardian magical beast!”
…
Lister’s residents felt a little unreal suddenly.
Just as everyone was excited, another sound of hoofbeats came. The two of them, Athena and Hephaestus, had arrived.
Looking at the strong man who was nearly 2 meters tall and holding a giant hammer, Kotter and the others were shocked again.
Of course, they knew Athena, but who was the person who suddenly appeared now? Miss Athena and Mr. Asclepius also appeared suddenly like this, could it be that this person in front of them…
Then Asclepius walked out with a smile.
“Hephaestus, I didn’t expect it to be you this time.”
As soon as Asclepius sensed the smell of Hephaestus, he rushed over immediately.
“Asclepius, I didn’t expect you to arrive here earlier.”
Hephaestus laughed and hugged Asclepius.
Sure enough, they knew each other!
Looking at the two people who were just like old friends, Kotter confirmed his guess. ‘Master Locke became more and more mysterious.’
Kotter sighed again. But he had been watching Master Locke grow up. Master Locke had been living in Fiss City and had never come into contact with these people.
While Hephaestus and Asclepius were greeting each other, Locke said to Kotter, “Uncle Kotter, there is indeed a black iron mine in the mountains.”
“The black iron mine actually exists!”
Kotter took a deep breath and became excited. However, after excitement, his face was covered with a layer of dark clouds. This was a black iron mine. Could they keep it which the noble families were fighting for?
‘Although our enemies were very powerful, no matter what decision Master Locke made, we would carry it out!’
“Master Locke, what are you going to do now?”
With determination in his eyes, Kotter asked.
“Since the black iron mine is in Lister, it belongs to me. No one can take it away.”
Locke smiled faintly and said in a very confident tone. Then he ordered Kotter, “Now, our first task is to mine ores.”
“I’ll arrange it now and start mining as soon as possible.”
Kotter nodded. There were nearly 200 bandits captives in Lister. The labor force was abundant.
Kotter continued to ask, “Are we going to contact the weapon forging towers and the weapon forging workshops in the Bone City to expand the channels for selling the black iron ores?”
“Don’t hurry.”
Locke shook his head. With the help of the black iron mine, in addition to the god of forging, they had to change the weapons in their territory first to improve their overall combat effectiveness, so that they could better deal with the subsequent crisis.
Thinking of this, he said to Kotter, “After mining ores out, transport them directly to the open space beside the castle. I want to build a weapon workshop there.”
When the castle was built, several spare rooms were built around it. Now, these rooms only needed a little reconstruction to be used as a workshop.
A weapon workshop?
After a short pause, Kotter smiled bitterly and said, “Master Locke, don’t you remember that we don’t have a forger? Besides, it will be an expensive expense to invite a forger to refine weapons.”
In Icacia Continent, in addition to healers, there were array mages, who studied arrays, and beast trainers, who could tame powerful magical beasts to fight for them. As for forgers, they were specialized in forging weapons.
“Who said we don’t have a forger?”
Locke smiled mysteriously and then looked in the direction of Hephaestus. “We have the best forger in the world.”
Did we have our forger?
This time, Kotter was stunned. When did we have a forger? Even in the Bone City, there were only two forgers of level 1, let alone our small territory.
Noticing that Locke was looking at Hephaestus, Kotter was shocked and then thought of a possibility.
Was this… Was he the most expensive forger?
Thinking of this possibility, Kotter’s breath became faster and faster. The forgers were a group of superior existences. Now there was a forger in the territory!
With a smile on his face, Hephaestus came over and said to Locke, “I want to handle the workshop myself.”
Locke nodded. Hephaestus was a forger, so it should be easy for him to change a workshop.
Excited, Kotter went to arrange for someone to mine the black iron mine.
In just one night, Hephaestus had renovated the workshop.
The forging furnaces, forging tables, quenching tanks, files…
Looking at the rows of dazzling forging tools, Locke was surprised.
What’s more, as long as they stepped into the workshop, the air around them became a little hot. f reeweb novel.com
“My former forging field was connected to the earth fire, and the scale was many times larger than this. There was no earth fire here, so the three of us worked together to set up a small array. With my special divine power, we created the effects of lava.”
Hephaestus was quite satisfied with the current workshop and explained to Locke with a smile.
As Locke approached, he saw the boiling lava in the furnaces, and the hot breath came from time to time.
If anyone fell into the lava, he or she would die, not leaving corpses.
At the same time, Kotter had found the location of the black iron mine and arranged for more people to mine it.
Because the black iron was very hard, it was very difficult to mine it.
Two days later, a cart of black ores was finally transported to the castle.
