Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Chapter 46: The gathered Rune craftsmen.

"Gondo, how's the progress?"

Calco, along with Quilat, Remedios and Kulev, entered Gondo's house.

At this moment, this four-story villa, which stood out among the dwarf city and was particularly spacious, was unexpectedly crowded and noisy today.

The studio was originally located in the basement, but now most of its equipment has been moved to the backyard, and there are even a lot of extra things.

The ores and metal ingots that Karl and his team had brought back from the western city were now placed here.

A group of old dwarves with long beards and who looked to be of unknown age had clear division of labor.

Some of the dwarves threw the ore into a furnace made of metal extracted from the hot ore to melt it, and then cast it into blocks.

Another group of dwarves took out the cooled indigo metal ingots and continued to heat them, while constantly hammering them to deform them.

At this time, they were all hammering the metal ingots in their hands into maces, or hammering a pistol about one and a half meters long.

When these equipment are completely made, they will be handed over to the oldest dwarves on the side to engrave runes on them.

Gondo took Spa to watch from the side, and when Karko and the others arrived, two finished products of the pistol and the mace had already been produced.

There are four runes evenly distributed on the indigo weapon, as if the weapon maker had specially left his own name.

When Gondo and Spa heard the sound, they turned around and saw Karko and his group slowly walking in from the front door.

Spa wanted to say hello, but Gondo pushed him back with one hand.

"You should study hard here, these masters rarely have the opportunity to make a move!"

Having said that, Gondo walked up on Spa's behalf.

The many old dwarves who originally had serious expressions also smiled warmly when they looked at Spa.

"Okay, listen to Gondo, it's okay, come and tell you what to do next..."

As he spoke, the old dwarf taught Spar step by step how to engrave runes.

At this time, there were already four runes engraved on the indigo scepter, and what they were going to try to do was to engrave the fifth one on it.

Seeing this, Spa immediately started to watch attentively.

For a moment, kind looks appeared in the eyes of the other old dwarves around.

Although they all gave up confidence in Rune technology, they were still willing to teach a junior who was so eager to learn Rune technology.

Especially Spa, who is not only talented, but also found a new direction for Rune technology.

Although they did not ask in detail at the time, they did find some clues from the questions Spa asked each time. Coupled with Gondo's testimony, they were eager to teach Spa everything they knew.

"Your Highness, the progress is very good. Now we are trying to engrave five runes on the prototype. If all goes well, there will be at least five runes of protection on your weapon!"

Gondo walked up and answered hurriedly.

Karko leaned over to look at the finished product on the ground and then looked at the people who were engraving the fifth rune, and couldn't help but praise it.

"Five runes! I didn't expect you guys to progress so fast. Looks like I have to speed up on my end too."

You know, she's not sure about breaking through to the fifth level yet.

Those metals are cobalt, a derivative ore of titanium, and are now being used by the dwarves as a testbed for titanium.

Gondo followed Karko's gaze and also saw the fifth rune being engraved, and explained immediately.

"Your Highness, we are all veterans of the former Rune Workshop. To them, engraving four Runes on a weapon is just the basics. Five Runes is a true masterpiece."

"They are now more in the process of recovering their previous skills."

"After all, no one has asked us to make rune tools for a long time. Your Highness is not only willing to provide so many materials for us to practice, but also willing to pay for it. Naturally, everyone wants to try to make the best masterpiece."

Gondo said this seriously with a hint of emotion in his tone.

Because the amount of metal was not large, in order to ensure the success of this production, all the Rune craftsmen present had a rare communication before forging.

Each of them took out their own hidden knowledge, even sorted it out with each other, and then took the opportunity to pass on this knowledge to Spa.

For a moment, they even found several lost low-level and mid-level scripts, which was a pleasant surprise.

"It seems that I have gained quite an advantage this time."

Karko turned around and looked at Kulev behind him and asked with a smile.

"Kulev, are you still in need of any weapons? I'll ask the craftsmen here to make some for you."

After hearing this, Kulev waved his hand quickly: "No need, Your Highness."

"My sword and boots are enough for me. If I need anything, I will tell you."

At this time, except for the fact that his secondary weapon is not a magic weapon, Kulev has no shortage of magic props on his body.

The leather armor he was wearing was a magical leather armor that he had someone make during the year he spent at the Eastern Great Wall. It had the effects of enhancing protection and deflecting arrows.

The necklace around his neck grants him protection from poor night vision and immunity to flashes.

Coupled with the two-handed dagger and flying dragon leather boots that Karl gave him not long ago, he really has no shortage of magical equipment now.

"What about you, Quilat and Remedios?"

Kuirat showed off two gem bracelets of different styles on his hands. These were props he found from the dwarves some time ago.

The left wrist guard is the guardian wrist guard.

Although it is not a rune item, it has quite a few constant effects.

Increased strength, physical fitness, and a third-level magic shield that lasts once every twenty-four hours.

The wristband on the right hand is a blessing from the chanter. It not only has mental protection and a constant energetic effect, but also can enhance the magic strength and casting speed of the magic chanter.

And among the two weapons that the dwarves are currently making, the mace is for Kuirat.

Remedios also shook his head.

The plate armor she is wearing, the greatsword in her hand, and the frost giant bracers on her wrists are all magical props found from the dwarves.

Among them, the Frost Giant Wristguard is almost an enhanced version of the Guardian Wristguard of Quilat, which can give Remedios the same protection as that of a young Frost Giant.

Not only does it have strength, physique, and recovery ability, it also has a certain degree of immunity to frost.

It can be said that even the breath of the frost dragon can hardly cause any harm to Remedios.

"Okay, since you all have what you need, I'll see what I need and ask them to help make it for me."

Karko shook his head.

Seeing that Kalco had given him a rare opportunity, Gondo spoke immediately.

"By the way, Your Highness, we have already made some progress on the things you proposed to us to make. Would you like to take a look?"

“That thing is now in the basement.”

"In fact, if it weren't for that thing, we old guys wouldn't be able to get together like this."

Gondo said with emotion.

Chapter 47: Your Highness, when are we going to slay the dragon? (G again today))

Gondo brought Karl and his four companions to the basement.

"start up!"

As Gondo shouted, the crystal stone in the basement that was attached with the magic of [Perpetual Light] also illuminated the entire room at this moment.

Because a large amount of smelting equipment was moved to the yard behind the villa, the entire basement was now much more spacious.

In this situation, even though they were located in the corner, a group of red objects, especially the square stone head covered with white and gray surface but containing a red inner elixir, immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"that is……"

Karl couldn't help but ask.

"That is a furnace that Spa made using rune technology and hot ore."

As he spoke, Gondo led everyone forward. Only then did they see six simple symbols on the mouth of the furnace that looked like they were carved with a knife or an axe.

They were arranged in groups of two, distributed on the left and right sides of the furnace mouth and on both sides above.

Karko, Kuirat and Remedios were stunned when they saw the furnace engraved with six runes.

Only Kulev was not clear about the situation and was somewhat confused.

"This was done by... Spa. He can engrave six runes now?"

Karko was completely shocked. She thought it was outrageous enough that she had surpassed some people's lifetime efforts in just over three years. She didn't expect that Spa had already engraved six runes in such a short time.

Didn't that mean that the dwarves' hundreds of years of hard work had been surpassed by Spa?

But soon, Karko came back to his senses from his surprise.

Just like when Spa engraved the three runes on the clay Gram, it is entirely possible that it was for other reasons.

Moreover, Karko also saw some traces of magic patterns on these runes.

Kuirat also realized this after his brief experience, and couldn't help but look at Karko.

And Gondo also explained at this time.

"Your Highness, in fact, these six runes are all low-level characters. The effect of adding them together may be equivalent to three mid-level characters, and the enchantment effect may even be the weakest among the group."

"But even so, Spa has demonstrated his talent. At least not all rune craftsmen can attach six runes to one thing."

"why is that?"

Karko frowned immediately: "Shouldn't low-level text be easier?"

"Your Highness, even if it's easier, it's still Rune!"

Gondo shook his head and sighed.

“Even the simplest runes have extremely complex meanings.”

"This is also the reason why, apart from the divine words and anti-words that no one knows about, my dwarves only have five highest-level runes."

"Except for the Golden Age a few hundred years ago, the dwarves have rarely broken through the limit of five characters, even for low-level characters."

“Since the golden age, Spa is the first one to be able to do this.”

"Those old guys were willing to come over to help only after seeing this."

Gondo patted the furnace and couldn't help laughing.

"So with this furnace, can we solve the problem of smelting titanium?"

"Of course, Your Highness. In fact, all the titanium ore we brought back has been smelted into metal ingots using this furnace before today."

"This furnace is much more convenient now. You just need to tap it lightly with a tin hammer and it will start to heat up immediately and last for a long time, instead of having to swing a big hammer and hit it constantly like before."

Karl nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the things next to him.

A red long sword with a wooden handle and a group of iron arrows with red arrowheads, about one and a half meters long.

Almost all of these things, whether they were blades or arrowheads, had four simple runes engraved on them, in groups of two. If you looked closely, you could even see that the two groups on the furnace matched up perfectly.

Karl guessed immediately.

"These things also have the same properties as furnaces. Just tap them lightly with a tin hammer and they will emit high heat for a long time?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I can demonstrate the details to you."

As he spoke, Gondo took out two long red swords, and then slashed them at each other. In an instant, the blades began to glow red.

"Any collision with a hardness above the Mithril level can cause this blade to ignite at high temperatures. With continuous collisions, the temperature will get higher and higher, and the duration will continue to increase until the weapon colliding with the blade breaks, or the blade breaks itself."

"Wow, that sounds like what I expected?"

Karl couldn't help but praise.

"Yes, Your Highness, but to be honest, I don't really recommend this sword."

Gondo couldn't help but curl his lips as he spoke, and placed the two swords directly aside on a shelf that seemed to have been prepared long ago to cool down.

"You know, the temperature of hot ore can be used to smelt metals."
