Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 150: Steel's Friend
“Clang clang—job done!”

Guangtai made an exaggerated gesture, raising one arm diagonally and spreading his hands, as if he was showing off some excellent "work"!
And the thing being displayed is of course Regis Chilu!

The body of the Steel Pillar has been polished to perfection, and its originally dull body is now shiny and bright. The steel shell can reflect the faces of people and Pokémon like a mirror. However, because it is too round, the reflection will be stretched and deformed. Under the gaze of everyone, many large protruding faces appeared on the Steel Pillar, which looked quite funny!
"Yooooo~"

The ribbons of the double scabbards touched the body of the Steel God Pillar.

It's too smooth to touch!
"Beep, beep, beep--" The circular dot matrix symbol on Regis Chilu's face flashed in a circle, and his two hands waved around without knowing where to put them, as if to express the incredible power of the light moss technology!
Although as a black and gold Pokémon, its hard steel body will not be injured in any case, but steel also has a fatigue value, and it will be damaged if the limit is exceeded. It's just because black and gold is hard enough and the Pokémon recovers fast enough, so it is usually not visible.

The Steel God Pillar has never felt so comfortable and relaxed before. Endless power surges from its body, as if it has returned to the feeling when it was just created and born!

"Rustle, rustle, Reggie--" Reggie Locke waved his stone arms.

How about it, brother? Have you calmed down now? Do you feel comfortable now?
This human is a mysterious craftsman living nearby. He possesses craftsmanship that is even more powerful than the people in the ancient capital of gods, and can be considered their inheritor. Any items polished by his technology will be enhanced and strengthened, which is a great effect for us "pillars of gods"!

"Beep, beep--Reggie?"

Regis Chilu was confused at first, then he suddenly understood!

If that's the case, it's no wonder that I lost this battle!

It's just a pity. Since you have such a strong power, the earth slab itself cannot be protected. The dream of turning the bottom layer here into an iron-producing area is ultimately like a mirage, completely ruined.
"Don't be so depressed!" Guangtai patted the big guy: "If we really change the geological structure here according to your idea, it will be very dangerous!"

"Did the ancient people of Shendu do this kind of thing?"

"Beep, beep, beep—" Registeel admitted that in the era when it was active, the ancients who controlled the earth's stone slabs did do this.

They moved land suitable for survival and made the products abundant. Otherwise, the natural environment and climate of "God's Capital" would hardly support human survival. Even Pokémon would have to fight each other in this environment because the nature here is very cruel.

"If the geological structure is changed, assuming that the area beneath the Black Gold Temple is all iron ore, over-exploitation of the iron ore may cause surface collapse. The removal of iron ore will weaken the structural stability of the strata, leading to ground subsidence or groundwater intrusion."

"The temple may collapse by then. If there are too many iron ore, the strata will be too rich in iron, which will acidify the soil, damage the plant roots, slow growth or even death. In the laws of nature, everything has its limits, and exceeding the limit may bring negative effects."

The circular symbol on Regis Chilu's face flashed.

It didn't understand these things. It just wanted to get the temple running again. But when it heard that the temple might collapse, Regis Chiru became a little uneasy.

"If you don't understand these things, it's easy to do things that are troubling to others. The ancients were able to do these things because they understood the conditions of the land and made corresponding adjustments and plans."

Guang Moss touched the body of the Steel God Pillar, feeling the annoyance and confusion in his heart, and snapped his fingers:
"How about I teach you a unique forging technique?"

"Beep, beep, beep?"

Regichisru initially felt that Guangtai was as good at blacksmithing as himself. Now Guangtai said that he would teach him special forging techniques. The Steel God Pillar, which was originally a little depressed, immediately became energetic, although there was no change in its expression from the outside!
"My mood has improved. Is this guy a workaholic?"

Light Moss sensed the inner fluctuations of the Steel God Pillar and found it quite strange. Without further ado, he found some forging tools that could be used by humans in the temple. Apparently, those were tools left behind by the ancients who built the temple.

The Black Gold Temple was probably really used by the ancients as a large blacksmith shop in the distant past.

The skill that Guang Moss wanted to teach Steel God Pillar was naturally the flame forging technique. This was one of the first forging skills Guang Moss acquired and also the most handy forging technique. Under the gaze of Steel God Pillar, Guang Moss took out a stone box from his backpack. After the stone box was opened, Guang Moss poured the burning charcoal inside into the furnace.

"Beep, beep, beep!" The charcoal was running low, and the Steel God Pillar muttered.

Guang Moss: "This is special charcoal. It is made from huge oak trees in the oak forest. It uses a unique firing process to burn hot charcoal. It has a stronger firepower than ordinary charcoal, and because of the material, it is also more durable!"

"Miss Qun'er, use the fire-attribute weather ball."

Under the gaze of the Steel Pillar, the slender and very beautiful Pokémon used its special move on the furnace. An illusory sun appeared inside the furnace, and three fireballs were summoned by Miss Skirt shortly afterwards, leaving the Steel Pillar with a lot of question marks in his mind!
A Pokémon that looks like a grass type uses a fire type move?!
And is it a "sunny day" to use it in a furnace?!
Guang Moss randomly selected some materials and began forging! Unlike what Regis Chilu had imagined, the human in front of him forged very quickly, and even the flames burned very vigorously. The huge firepower reminded him of the prosperous Black Gold Temple. In a trance, the figures of those ancient blacksmiths gradually overlapped with the human in front of him. The iron embryo was quickly shaped and forged through several processes until it became a usable tool!

This is a small hammer. Guangtai thought that two hammers are usually used when forging iron, one large and one small, each with its own important function. The large hammer is mainly used to hammer and forge ironware, while the small hammer is used to guide the hammer's strikes and make fine corrections to the key positions of the ironware. The small hammer left by the ancients has no special use, only a 10% forging bonus.

Therefore, Light Moss decided to forge a new hammer and give it to the Steel Giant to establish friendship between the two sides.

『Craft Item: Bullet Forging Hammer.』

"Description: This item is made from Pokémon materials and scrap iron using a special flame forging and processing technique. It can increase the energy of steel and fire attributes."

"Crafts Function: Fast Forging - Forging Speed +25%, Unique Usage 'Bullet Fist'."

Huh? Guangtai held up the small steel hammer, touched his chin, and handed it to the Steel God Pillar.

After Registeel got the hammer, a wonderful feeling came over him. The hammer seemed to be connected to him as one. A slight heat current flowed through the steel body. It was the energy of fire attribute. It could not amplify the hammer, but it could make it more heat-resistant.

In addition, the strength of the steel attribute has also increased a little. The hammer was gently swung, and Regis Chilu suddenly realized its correct use! So, he suddenly swung it towards the empty space!
As the hammer was swung out, a silver light flashed straight ahead!
Bullet hammer?
"Beep, beep, beep--!" Regis Chilu's voice became louder!

It wants to learn this unique forging technique!
"Okay, so from now on, we are friends?"

"Beep beep beep! Reggie!" Regischirlu agreed. It was very happy, knowing that this new tool hammer would be of great help to its forging skills. Reggierock disappeared beside the Steel Pillar at some point and came to Daigo's side.

Regilock tapped the tap on Daigo, who was studying minerals and had forgotten the time, then rummaged through the pile of minerals and took out a few pieces of black and silver ores that looked like broken iron.

This is it! Regirock held the ores in his arms and gave one to Daigo.

Daigo was a little confused at first and couldn't see any problem, but after he simply touched the ore in his hand for a while, he suddenly realized that this ore was unusual!
It looks ordinary, but its hardness is ridiculous, and it emits steel-attribute energy.? !
"Beep, beep, beep--" Regischirlu discovered Regirock who was rummaging through things in the temple, and muttered a few words unhappily, but then looked at Light Moss. It walked to Regirock with a hammer, picked up a piece of ore and handed it to Light Moss.

[Precious material: black gold! ]

[Description: It is a special mineral obtained by melting a variety of ores in a unique ratio and aggregating them under strong pressure. It is considered to be an unknown metal. ]

[Effect: It can greatly increase the steel energy of steel-attribute Pokémon! Black gold is very hard, and only Pokémon with "hard crush" or "crush" moves can forge and cast it! ]

[Obtained process: Smelting process (B+) - a process of melting known materials to obtain new materials. The process contains the corresponding melting formula, but even if you have the formula, the probability of melting failure is still very high. Use this process with caution. ]

[Props or materials that can be made through crafting: black iron ball, volcanic stone, mysterious stone. ]

[Knowledge gained: Brute Force - Your strength has been greatly improved, strength +100%. ]

The legendary black gold is obtained!
When Guang Moss talks to Regis Chilu, it is discovered that it has mastered the move of hard pressure!

However, Guang Tai had not yet figured out what to use the black gold for. In short, he just had to keep this precious material first. So he put the black gold into his backpack. At this time, He Yue was already waiting impatiently in the temple.

"I'm sorry, although I really want to leave now, I need to leave something behind."

Guangtai asked Heyue to wait for a while, and then found nearby soil and iron ore from the temple, and asked the double scabbards to fly outside to record the appearance of the entire Black Gold Temple and tell him, then drew the line drawing using the spiritual paper, and then used the soil and the iron ore and stone of the Black Gold Temple to make a miniature temple figure.

Then, he used ordinary carving tools to carve patterns on the ground outside the Black Gold Temple, and let the double scabbards use the spiritual blades to help. Soon, a ground texture like a magic circle was created. Stones and iron blocks were taken out from the Black Gold Temple. These ancient stones full of powerful spiritual power became the opportunity to pull everything.

Guangtai pressed his hands on the ground and felt the flow of some kind of energy in the earth!

"Double scabbards, unknown totems, use secret power and awakening power at the same time on the temple and the model!"
