Daily AFK life from a young dragon

Chapter 66 Dispatch and Steelmaking

After subduing the skeleton spellcaster 'Mare', Leon learned the purpose of the Howling Gray Land from him.

"Collect corpses and souls?" Leon pondered.

"Yes, and the tasks assigned to me are quite heavy. They simply don't treat me as a human being." Mare complained.

Sorry, you are not human. Leon glanced at the silver skeleton under Mare's gray robe and was speechless.

As for the collected corpses and souls?

They were all collected by Mare's storage spell.

Fifth-ring spell: Another dimension.

Create an unstable extra-dimensional space where dead objects can be placed and used.

The size of the space depends on the amount of magic power used, and can range from a few dozen cubic meters to several football fields.

"Your identity is still useful, so don't expose it for now." Leon said.

"In that case, I will have to continue slaughtering living beings." Mare had obviously anticipated this, but if his identity was not to be exposed, then the mission naturally had to be completed.

Otherwise, Mare's fate would definitely not be good, as the hierarchy among the undead is very strict.

Leon smiled faintly, exhaling white air from his nose and mouth, and said, "This matter is very simple. Two hundred miles away from the Dark Scale Tribe, there is a place called Crescent Lake. There are tens of thousands of lobster people. They also have many vassal monsters. In addition to the monsters and beasts living in their area, there are more than enough for your mission."

Three years ago, Leon had been interested in the Crescent Lake Lobster People. To be more precise, he had been interested in the magic stone vein that they controlled.

“But when you go over there, you must also be careful of the lobster man leader. He was already at level five a few years ago. Perhaps he has made some breakthroughs in strength over the years.” Leon reminded Mare.

It doesn't want the followers that it has spent a lot of effort to subdue to death due to carelessness.

"Don't worry, Master. I will be very cautious." Mare replied seriously.

Leon thought about it and found that Mare was an extremely cautious person, so he didn't worry anymore.

A month after Mare became Leon's follower, his injuries had mostly healed, and he led the remaining skeleton troops, which numbered only more than 3,000, out of the mountains and forests near the Dark Scale Tribe.

They migrated to a mountain forest more than two hundred miles away, less than fifty miles away from Crescent Lake.

Because they were traveling at night and the distance was short, the existence of the skeleton army was not discovered by others along the way.

Occasionally, some nocturnal monsters would discover the skeleton army, but would be quickly hunted down by the silver bone pythons.

And what about Leon?

There are two hang-up slots, one to increase the black water fighting spirit, and the other to increase the acid dragon breath. In addition, it will spend a lot of time practicing, so its strength has been steadily improving.

But practicing all the time is a very boring and tedious thing, so Leon would find some fun for himself.

Such as steelmaking.

"To build a blast furnace, put iron, fluorite and quicklime in. Under high temperature, the quicklime turns into slaked lime, and pig iron is produced."

"The pig iron is discharged and sent to the boiler. The boiler contains rusty iron powder, fluorite, some desulfurized and phosphorus mixed materials. Through high-pressure and high-temperature oxygen blowing, the content of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus and other elements is reduced, and wrought iron is refined."

"After the wrought iron is smelted, the molten iron will be smelted again, and carbon will be added to control the carbon content, while further reducing the sulfur, and phosphorus steel will be refined."

In the brick and stone building, a tall blast furnace emits high temperature.

Eddie was instructing the monster blacksmith on the knowledge of steelmaking. Leon was looking at the blast furnace beside him. The dragon race's heritage was very complete, and naturally they also had the knowledge of steelmaking.

But for many monster races, this is quite valuable knowledge.

This should have been taught to the Dark Scale Tribe several years ago, but Leon thought that the Dark Scale Tribe could make steel themselves. After all, some Dark Scale warriors wore steel armor several years ago.

The reason why it was not worn on a large scale was because iron ore had not been found at that time.

But this was what Leon thought before. It was not until recently that he found out that the Dark Scale Tribe's steelmaking technology was actually very crude and the efficiency was very slow. The quality of the steel produced was quite average, or even poor.

How can this work?
Leon was also thinking about building a powerful magic steel army after defeating the lobsterman tribe and obtaining the magic stone ore veins.

With a powerful army at hand, in the short term, it and the other dragons no longer have to worry about food. The monster army is fully capable of hunting down monsters in large numbers.

In the long run, once encountering enemies, the weak ones can be dealt with directly, saving the trouble for dragons like Leon, and the strong ones can also share some of the burden with Leon and the others.

What the giant dragons like Leon invested were just a few places for their followers and some dragon knowledge.

"This blast furnace was built by me myself using alchemical magic. It can raise the temperature to an extremely high level. You just need to follow the steps and put in the materials needed for steelmaking, and you can produce high-quality steel continuously." Eddie kept nagging.

In addition, it also introduced other alchemical equipment it had developed, including high-precision molds, cutting machines, etc.

The monster blacksmiths were stunned when they heard this.

With these alchemical equipment for steelmaking and forging equipment, their efficiency in making steel armor and steel swords has increased by more than a hundred times?
Not to mention the quality has improved a lot.

Leon looked at the somewhat distraught monster blacksmiths and shook his head slightly.

This kind of knowledge is very low-level and common in the dragon clan's heritage. The reason why it is recorded is purely because some dragon predecessors collected it out of boredom.

In the dragon heritage, the powerful forging knowledge is basically related to the four major races: giants, elves, dwarves, and goblins.

The giants' secret equipment technology, the elves' magic equipment technology, the dwarves' refining equipment technology, and the goblins' alchemical equipment technology.

Human forging technology is actually very powerful, but most of it is learned from the forging technology of the four major races: giants, elves, dwarves, and goblins.

When it comes to learning, humans are a very powerful species, but in terms of natural talent, they cannot compare with giants, elves, dwarves, etc.

“But there should be some very powerful blacksmiths and alchemists in the Emerald Dream,” Leon thought to himself.

It remembered the twelve dragon forts in the Emerald Academy.

To be able to create an alchemical building like Dragon Castle, one must be a high-level alchemist of at least level 7 or above. This was recognized by Eddie, because in terms of level, it has just entered the level of a level 3 alchemist, and it is still a long way from the level 4.

"Maybe I should find an alchemist as my next follower?" Leon mused.

As for where to find it?

The Emerald City, of course.

It would be best to get an alchemist who has reached the fourth level or even stronger back to the territory, so that the industrial level of the territory will definitely take a big step forward.

Moreover, the Greystone Dragon Castle can also be transformed to improve its defense and elemental concentration.
