chapter 214 part 2
Watching this group of dwarves become fired up one by one, the expression on Tang Zheng's face did not change at all.
He was not about to take the dwarves' boasts at face value and assume these Dwarf Artisans were actually capable of the task.
The Forging Minister, holding the ruined armor, turned around respectfully and looked up at Tang Zheng.
"Are there enough hands?"
Tang Zheng did not ask the group of Dwarf Artisans, but instead focused his gaze on the most crucial figure.
"If the number of Rune Craftsmen could be doubled, the success rate would be somewhat higher," the Forging Minister said honestly.
"What is the success rate now?" Tang Zheng asked.
The Forging Minister: "Thirty percent."
Thirty percent?
Very low.
But it was higher than what Tang Zheng had initially expected.
It was worth a try. In any case, aside from time, there was almost no loss, because Rune Craft did not require expensive additional materials to begin with.
"Then it's worth the gamble." A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
"Hey, human," Gongde's voice, filled with excitement, came from behind again.
"To be able to witness the highest-tier rune script and bring this lost power back to life is something we Rune Craftsmen simply cannot refuse."
"However, we've already discussed it."
"Never mind mithril and orichalcum, even adamantite would be unable to withstand the power of the four highest-tier characters."
"It has to be an even more superior metal. As long as you can find such a material, the thirty percent chance you mentioned can be increased by at least another twenty percent."
The moment he finished speaking.
The crowd of dwarves behind him immediately echoed his sentiment.
Tang Zheng glanced at the Forging Minister beside him. Seeing the man nod in agreement, he actually felt more at ease.
"Whatever tools you need, just ask. I will bring them all to you."
Tang Zheng smiled brilliantly and spoke to the Dwarf Artisans. As he spoke, he waved his hand to his side.
A large vat, over half a man's height, appeared on the scene.
The sudden appearance of the large object drew everyone's attention.
"Is that a magic leather pouch?"
"What's such a large vat for?"
This large vat, over half a person tall, was already a bit taller than the dwarves.
The next moment, the dwarves fell silent.
An alcoholic fragrance with a hint of sour fruit wafted out from the large vat and into the nostrils of every dwarf present. This large vat was none other than one of the Four Great Treasures of the Lizardmen, the "Great Cask of Wine".
Gulp~ Gulp~
In the already somewhat hot environment on the outskirts of the Lava Zone, the crowd of Dwarf Artisans was already thirsty, and now they smelled the aroma of wine.
The sound of swallowing could be heard one after another.
"This is a magic item that possesses the ability to automatically produce wine. Theoretically, you can never drink it all."
Tang Zheng's calm introduction fell upon the dwarves' ears like the tempting whisper of a demon.
A magic item that could automatically produce wine was, for dwarves who loved wine as much as life itself, practically more important than their very lives.
Tang Zheng waved his arm again.
Wild boar-type beasts stored in his item box appeared on the ground.
"In short, as payment for your help, there will be more than enough wine and meat," Tang Zheng said forthrightly.
"I suddenly don't want to go back now."
"Don't say it, I'm thinking the same thing."
"..."
A series of quiet discussions came from the crowd.
Soon!
This group of Dwarf Artisans threw their previous worries to the back of their minds and fell into a state of revelry.
Tang Zheng, for his part, used Teleportation Magic to travel once more to the Eastern City of "Fieo Jura," bringing back all the tools the Rune Craftsmen would need in one go.
As for the dwarves' side of things, Tang Zheng had no interest in paying attention to the impact caused by the disappearance of all their Rune Craftsmen.
The next day.
November 18th, Middle-earth Month.
The group of Dwarf Artisans, full of vigor, gathered around Tang Zheng. Each held a tool, posturing as if they were ready for a big job.
"Where are the materials? We'll start forging right now," one of the dwarves was the first to shout.
In their view, since Tang Zheng was so confident, he had obviously already prepared the metal materials capable of withstanding the highest-tier rune script.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Tang Zheng did not keep them waiting long. With a thought:
"Body Armament!"
Whoosh!
A grayish-white mist flowed from Tang Zheng's body, rapidly covering him from head to toe and solidifying into a suit of gray full-plate armor.
The abrupt scene.
Caused all the dwarves to stare blankly for a moment, their faces showing bewilderment.
"This is the material I have prepared for you all."
Tang Zheng's voice echoed from within the gray full-plate armor:
"I need you to inscribe the runes from that armor onto this suit of armor I'm wearing."
The air became inexplicably quiet.
Most of the dwarves' mouths fell open as they stared at Tang Zheng in disbelief.
"What kind of joke are you playing!"
Gongde's eyes bulged as he shouted in anger. He felt that the human before him was toying with them.
"Although this armor of mine is a bit special, it can be called a one-of-a-kind material."
Tang Zheng was not surprised by the change in the dwarves' expressions. He too felt that his idea was a bit crazy.
But it was worth a try!
The "Body Armament" he currently used, due to the unique degradation phenomenon of the Otherworld, meant that its ability was noticeably different from the normal skill.
As Tang Zheng spoke, he raised his hand, and a magic greatsword appeared in his palm.
Clang!
Before the dwarves could react.
Tang Zheng had already lifted the magic greatsword and struck his own arm heavily. A visible crack appeared on the arm of the armor.
Gongde and the other dwarves watched this scene in a daze, seemingly not understanding what Tang Zheng was trying to express.
They had repeatedly mentioned needing an extremely sturdy metal to withstand the power of the highest-tier script. The armor before them, which could be cracked so easily, was clearly not what they would call sturdy.
Tang Zheng did not say much more. Instead, he took out a bottle of alchemical potion and poured it directly onto the cracked area of the armor.
In the blink of an eye.
Before the incredulous eyes of all the dwarves, the crack on the armor had recovered, good as new.
This was the unique, special ability of "Body Armament".
