Chapter 346 Runes (1)
When we submitted the list of materials needed, the dwarf in charge looked at me with a strange look before asking, "Are you sure that you want all of this?"
I just gave a slow nod in response without saying anything.
The other dwarves couldn't help revealing curious looks when they heard this and they went over to that dwarf to see what I had requested.n((o--V/.e./l.(b-/1/-n
After seeing my list, they looked at me with the same strange look.
I just ignored all of it as I waited for my materials to come.
It didn't take long for them to gather the materials, but that was to be expected from the Dwarven Kingdom.
They had an abundance of ores in the first place, so it was easy for them to gather the ores that I had requested.
After everything had been gathered, we began melting our metals.
Both the Dwarven King and I threw the mithril that we requested into the furnace and waited for it to melt, but there was a difference between us. The furnaces that we used were different from each other, so there was a different effect when it came to melting the mithril.
The furnace that I used was a simple furnace used for general ore processing.
The furnace that the Dwarven King was using was a blast furnace which would allow him to infuse a jet of air into the furnace itself. This would allow him to quickly increase the temperature of the furnace and greatly increase the heat of the furnace to quickly melt the ores.
So in no time at all, the Dwarven King was done with melting his ore while we were still waiting for the mithril to melt.
With that blast furnace, he was able to also purify the mithril even more since the blast furnace released gas waste in a different location.
So the ingots that he made were more pure than ones that were made in a normal furnace.
However, we didn't let that bother us at all as we slowly worked at our furnace.
After a while, the mithril finally melted and it was at that point that I threw in another thing.
When Ivar saw what I threw in, he couldn't help saying in a confused voice, "Why are you doing that? Wouldn't that just corrupt the mithril?"
I just said with a smile, "Remember what I told you about alloys?"
Ivar knitted his brows slightly when he heard this before his eyes suddenly opened in realization.
He said in a slow voice, "You mean..."
His voice trailed off, but the meaning in his voice was clear.
I just slowly gave a nod in response.
Ivar didn't say anything else as he looked into the furnace, as if he was trying to see just what was changing with the metal mixture.
I didn't say anything until it was time to add in another thing.
When that time came, we put in the last ingredient and watched it all melt together before taking it out.
Instead of making something fancy this time, we were just making a simple dagger.
But the metal that we used looked much different from the metal that the Dwarven King used.
The dwarves could tell that this metal was like mithril in both its colour and its attributes, but there was something strange about this metal that they just couldn't put their finger on.
It was as if the structure of the metal had been changed in a way that they had never seen before.
But just what was this?
They really wanted to take this piece of metal out of their hands and analyze it, but they couldn't do that while the forging duel was happening.
So the only thing that they could do was watch and wait, hoping that they could see something special about this metal that the human had created.
We just ignored the gazes of these dwarves and focused on our forging.
I left everything to Ivar since I didn't know how to blacksmith in the first place and it took no time at all for Ivar to finish off the dagger.
A dagger like this was a simple matter for him, though he couldn't help looking at the metal he was working on with a strange look.
When he hammered it, there was a resistance that he had never felt before.
This was a type of metal that he was working on for the first time, so he couldn't help revealing an excited look.
The other dwarves understood that look and they couldn't help looking at him with looks of envy.
When the dagger was done, the other dwarves were prepared to come over to inspect it, but I stopped them by raising my hand and waving them away.
I pulled out the engraving knife that had been brought along with the rest of the materials.
This was a special engraving knife that I had asked for since it wasn't included with the tools at the forge.
At the same time, I took out this bag of silverish powder that I placed beside me.
With this, I focused on the cooled dagger in front of me and started making marks on it with the engraving knife.
The dwarves were confused as to what I was doing at first, but then they slowly understood as some of them muttered...
"Runes, he's marking runes on the dagger."
"Runes, huh?"
"Runes..."
Many of them seemed like they were disappointed by the fact that I was marking runes, but I understood what they were thinking.
At this point in the game, runes were still regarded as failed technology.
There were runes that had been discovered with the help of the elves, but they didn't have the effect that the dwarves had wanted.
So rune smithing had been regarded as a failure that was abandoned by the dwarves.
There were some that wanted to keep studying rune smithing, but now wasn't the time for that when they had hit a wall in their innovations.
So rune smithing had even reached a point where it was looked down on in the Dwarven Empire.
That was why they seemed disappointed when they saw me carving runes in the dagger.
