Chapter 96: Casting the Magic Cannon (Part 2)

  The bet between the Jing tribes has not been completed, for the sake of those Jing tearers and the complete trust of the Jing tribe, as well as the future of Qincheng, this magic cannon must be cast.

  As soon as Lucino saw the drawings, he was like Ye Yinzhong holding an ancient zither, his expression completely changed to another kind, his eyes sharp and focused, carefully looking at the drawings in his hand, not missing even the smallest detail.

  Ye Yin Zhu was not in a hurry, and although Lute Zhi was the leader of the dwarf tribe, he was an outsider when it came to casting. Suo Xing took out a bottle of beautifully crafted wine and drank while chatting with Ye Yin Zhu about the situation in Qin City.

  Lucino looked at it and it lasted for a whole hour.

  "Truly a sight to behold! I'm afraid only the Jing family could design something so ingenious. Although I'm not yet certain of its power, the cleverness of its design is unprecedented. It can attack in all directions without any blind spots and even solve the problem of recoil when attacking in any direction - it's simply too amazing! Lord Ye, do you plan to mass-produce this cannon?"

  Ye Yin nodded and said, "Yes. This is the result of the Di Jing laboratory, called the Magic Cannon. It's also the most useful thing for our Qin City defense at present. I don't know if the elder can cast it? How long does it take to cast a big cannon like this?"

  "Of course, we can cast it. In Dragon's Spine, I'm afraid no one except us dwarves can cast such a magnificent cannon. However, there are several difficulties in this process. Firstly, due to the large number of parts, including many small components, the materials must be sufficiently tough during casting. Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand the vibrations generated by the cannon's operation. Secondly, the true core of this cannon is the spell array and that crystal used as the power source. I can carve the spell array, but you'll have to find the crystal."

  Ye Yinzhuzong nodded and said: "This is no problem. Elder, can you calculate how long it will take to cast such a magical cannon?"

  "Thinking for a moment, Lucino said: 'If it's the first casting, I'll need at least half a year. And it must be cast by the four great elders of our dwarf clan together.'"

  Ye Yin's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, it had taken half a year to cast just one cannon, this was a bit too long.

  Lucino smiled and said, "Lord Ye, don't worry. Since this is the first time we're casting such a delicate thing, we must study it carefully. Once the first cannon is cast, subsequent ones will be much easier to make. However, I hope you can provide me with the best materials for this first cannon. I have a premonition that this might even become a super weapon."

  Ye Yin Zhu Dao: "I've already thought of this. Casting a cannon like this requires at least over a ton of metal, I'm referring to the key parts of the cannon body. Hong Ling can refine a ton of Golden Jing in just over a month, all of it will be given to you for casting this large cannon. As for the metals used for carving the law arrays, we'll use Mó Yín entirely. If necessary, we can even use Khī Jīn."

  Lusino stared at Ye Yin Zhu in shock, "Ye Lord, are you really going to cast the cannon like this?"

  Ye Yin Zhu was taken aback and said: "What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate?"

  "Lucino swallowed hard, 'It's not that it's not suitable, it's just too extravagant. I've never heard of using Adamantite and Mythril to cast something so massive. You know, when these two materials are used together, even if only a small portion is mixed in, I have the confidence to create a weapon that's on par with a Soul Artifact. And you're using it to cast cannons? It really pains me! What I said earlier about the material being hard, actually, just adding a bit of Adamantite to the steel would be enough to cast cannons.'"

  Ye Yin Zhu smiled slightly and shook his head, saying: "No, this is our first collaboration. It's also the first time the dwarves have cast in the territory of Qincheng after arriving. Doesn't the elder want to cast a piece that can be passed down for thousands of years? Just do it as I say. Metal can still be found later. Where else can I find a casting master like the elder?"

  Lucino's eyes shone with excitement, what is called a knowledgeable encounter, this is it! He deeply knew how precious a ton of Adamantite was, that was almost the value of buying a city! Not to mention the Magic Silver. His brain quickly turned around, Lucino's gaze suddenly became firm, "If we use Adamantite and Magic Silver directly for casting, without wasting time fusing with steel, we can definitely complete the casting of this magic cannon within four months. However, please give me some Krypton Gold, Lord Ye. Since we're using such luxurious materials, let's be extravagant to the end. The amplification effect produced by combining Krypton Gold and Magic Silver will be absolutely terrifying. You're right, this is our first cooperation, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to cast a divine artifact, what qualifications do we dwarves have to own the title of Casting Tribe?"

  When Ye Yin Zhu left, the entire Dwarf tribe had already been stirred up. Under Lucino's command, various casting preparations had begun. On the other hand, more than ten days' worth of Golden Jing and Magic Silver Red Spirit had been extracted and, with Ye Yin Zhu's help, the first batch of materials was delivered. Although these were still far from enough, the magic cannon itself was composed of multiple parts, so they could be cast first.

  Handing the casting over to the dwarves, Ye Yin Zhu immediately felt at ease, he deeply believed that the dwarves would never let him down. Although it would take a bit longer to get the approval of the Jing Department due to the magic cannon casting, he didn't mind this little delay.

  Qincheng is bustling, with four thousand young and strong men starting to train in the methods of the Jingling. The high mountains and steep ridges of the Brenner Mountains themselves provide the best conditions for physical training. And these Qincheng people are originally from a hunting background, their physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people. Under systematic training, as long as they have a certain amount of time, they will naturally gradually become stronger.

  Night fell, Ye Yin Zhu lay alone on his bed, looking at the skylight on the roof. He knew he was lucky to have so many people helping him. Many specific things didn't require him to be busy with anything. The Violet Demon Legion had expanded to a hundred in number due to Oliver's joining, and the Golden Demon and Silver Demon had each become three and six respectively. Their strength had increased greatly, and adding those three Ice Extreme Devil Apes, he actually possessed six terrifying ninth-grade demon beasts under his command. With Violet and these Demons stationed in the Brenna Mountains, Ye Yin Zhu didn't have anything to worry about.

  Now, the Behemoth-like creatures under Zi's command also began to get busy. What they had to do was to cut through rocks. With their hundred-inch sharp claws, even the hardest granite would not pose any obstacles in front of them. Under Zi's request, they cut these granites into one cubic meter blocks and piled them up together for use at any time. It was just a way to maintain the physical condition of these Behemoth-like creatures. As for Zi's orders, these Behemoths did not dare to have any ambiguity. Every day, they would transport the cut stones to the depression between the outermost mountain peaks of Qin City. An Ya's vision was far-reaching, and building the Brenna Mountains into a super fortress city was not only her wish but also Zi's wish. Although Qin City still had far fewer people to support the construction and defense of this supercity, Zi had already begun to do some preparatory work. Later facts proved that his choice was correct.

  An Ya's jīng spirits were busy training new troops, while An Ya herself was doing something more meaningful. She cooperated with the Di Jīng tribe, who were responsible for raising some wild beasts that needed to be eaten in peacetime, such as pigs and other animals. An Ya scattered seeds of various plants on several mountain peaks near Qin City in the Brenna Mountains using the life energy of ancient trees. Under the influence of the ancient tree's powerful life energy, these newly planted crops could definitely yield three harvests a year without taking too long. Self-sufficiency was a goal that Qin City had to pursue from now on. This not only greatly reduced expenses but also would not be restricted by any party.

  The night has become even warmer now, summer is approaching, and in another month's time, Milan Magic Academy will be reopening.

  The understanding of music by the smoke-like girls made Ye Yin Zhu also sigh in admiration. From them, Ye Yin Zhu seemed to see her younger self. If it weren't for these blue spirits having received strong stimulation, they might have become the best cultivators of the Red Child's Heart. Even now, Ye Yin Zhu believed that relying on their talent and the large amount of natural elemental influence they had absorbed in the spirit forest, at least in a short period of time, advancing to yellow-grade magical power was not a problem. As for future advancements, it would depend on their individual efforts. The Divine Sound Department of Milan Magic Martial Academy was the most suitable place for them to study.

  Unfortunately, there was no water. If Qincheng had its own independent water source, it would be even more perfect. Ye Yin Zhu suddenly thought of this problem. However, he didn't worry too much about it. After all, with the existence of An Ya, a natural system's great demon master, releasing a few high-level water magic spells casually, Qincheng wouldn't have a water shortage problem.

  At this point in time, Qincheng has all the basics in place, but development requires both time and money. Even though many things have been resolved by Qincheng on its own, it still cannot make up for the lack of funds.
