Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!

Chapter 141 - 150

　　Chapter 141: A Romance

　　Xu Jun frowned almost as soon as he heard the shrill voice. He mentioned the Elemental Spirit, but few people knew what the "Elemental Spirit" was, and the term "magic material" was not very popular. Only warriors and businessmen would care about magic materials, while the leaders of the forces would only be attracted by "energy materials".

　　Magic materials are not available to everyone, but energy materials are closely related to all aspects of life.

　　As far as humans are concerned, magic materials and alchemical materials are very expensive, but the consumption is not that large if it is taken as a country. However, energy materials - the country now uses coal and fire ore for burning. Although residents in the countryside still chop wood for burning, most people in the city have to buy coal balls and fire blocks, not to mention the country's military factories. Aren't the blacksmiths using only high-quality fire blocks? Firewood cannot even make the equipment and weapons needed by mid-level combat professionals.

　　Fire and coal mines will eventually run out of resources, and many of the veins have been hollowed out and collapsed. In addition to humans, the larger beast races have also begun to learn the art of forging. Everyone knows the benefits of energy.

　　If we suddenly knew there was a new energy source, we would be as excited as a starving wolf seeing meat.

　　The dwarves discovered this "elemental spirit" in the West Sea, and they dared not make it public, only because they found the benefits of elemental spirit in mechanical forging. If a powerful race discovered such a good treasure, it would be known to the whole world, waiting for the price to be raised and selecting partners.

　　But the dwarves can't do that. The dwarves' power is not only not strong... In fact, the dwarves are already a semi-subordinate race. They are born like children, with neither strength nor ability, but they are smart and have a unique talent in machinery. The dwarves also have many branches, and many small branches have become "mechanics" for major forces, and they will never be free. If the dwarves have such a good thing and everyone knows about it, they will have one more reason to be plundered, and the warriors in the tribe will eventually be unable to hold on.

　　The branch that discovered the Elemental Spirit was also the stronger one among the dwarves, so they were able to keep it a secret until now. These dwarves had been at the mercy of various races for so many years, and they dreamed of gaining freedom and dignity, and the Elemental Spirit brought them hope.

　　I don't know why, but this elemental spirit seems to be more suitable for machinery. This thing can not only be used as fuel, but also can be used to make enchanting oil. It is difficult to enchant complex and sophisticated machinery. This thing is not like weapons and equipment, which have relatively large flat surfaces for operation. Many parts that need to be enchanted on machinery are small parts, maybe just a screw, maybe just a small joint. Although other enchanting oils and enchanting dust can be applied, they cannot be carved deeply because the surface is too small, and the elements cannot penetrate into it.

　　However, the Elemental Spirit Oil can be applied on a very small surface, just like a micro-sculptor, who can just lightly draw a line on it, and the Elemental Spirit Oil will automatically penetrate into it.

　　The dwarves have now begun to try to make "armor" that they can wear. It is a kind of equipment that wraps people up. At present, it only has basic abilities such as running fast and being strong, but this has allowed the dwarf mechanics to see unlimited possibilities. When this caravan set out for Randall, the mechanics in the tribe had already begun to experiment whether they could install a miniature version of the magic pistol on the shoulders of the armor.
