Chapter 187 Commissioned Forging

A good day starts with derivatives.

Ash brought rich mathematical knowledge from his previous life, which fascinated Susanna and she regarded it as a classic.

Susannah gasped heavily, trying to calm her heart which was beating wildly due to the intense exercise.

After the exercise, Ash, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally, got out of bed as he had something else to do.

Ash found Hadamai.

At this moment, he was patrolling on the city wall. After all, he was a demigod, and a night's hangover could not affect him at all.

Looking at Ash who suddenly appeared, Hadamai opened his arms and expressed his enthusiasm: "Brother Ash, where were you last night? I couldn't find you in the second half of the night."

Ash smiled and said, "I went to discuss the philosophy of life with Madam Susanna."

The idea of life philosophy obviously hasn't been born in this world yet. Hademei scratched his head and said, "Philosophy, that kind of confusing knowledge?"

It was indeed a headache, whether it was above or below, Ash nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Hadamai scratched his beard and said, "Brother Ash, are you a scholar at all? Can you talk about this with Susanna?"

"I am also a wizard, so I have some common language with Lady Susanna." To prove it, Ash asked his second body to come out and demonstrate a few spells.

"Studying both!" Hadamai was surprised. After all, there were very few people who could reach the pinnacle of both being a mage and a warrior. After all, just one of them was enough to make people wonder.

"It's a minor skill. Mages are only used to solve problems that are difficult to solve on weekdays. After all, mages have more methods." Ash changed the subject and said, "General Hardmei, can you introduce me to a large workshop? I have a batch of materials that need a lot of manpower to forge."

"No problem." Hadamai agreed readily. "What type of supplies do you need?"

"Weapons, armor, siege equipment," Ash said.

This made Hadmei look at Ash again. After all, these things sounded like they were prepared for war.

But Hademei didn't ask any more questions. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I recommend Lieshan Workshop. It just so happens that their master craftsman is in seclusion recently, and the people under him are relatively free. They should have some spare time to help you make it."

"Okay." Ash agreed.

Ash and Hardmei began to move deeper into a volcano.

A pool of magma was divided into two distinct sides. On one side were holes of varying sizes. A group of dwarves sat beside it, reaching deep into the magma with their hands, and finally fished out pieces of metal ingots of varying sizes.

That is a unique technology of the dwarves, which can condense the minerals inside the magma, just like fishing.

So it is easy to see a group of booing erupting among the dwarves. That is because some dwarves have gotten extremely lucky and have condensed high-level metals.

On the other side was Ash's destination this time, the Lieshan Workshop. Dwarf blacksmiths in aprons were working nearby. When they encountered broken weapons, they simply threw them into the lava next to them.

After entering the workshop, Hademei went straight to the current highest-ranking manager.

"This is our dwarf's benefactor, who just killed a Nurgle Chosen." Hadamai pointed at Ash and said, "So you must do your best to do what he asks you to do, understand?"

"Got it." The dwarf opposite Hadamai said in a muffled voice, then turned to the guest and said, "What does this lord want to build?"

"A batch of weapons, armor, and siege equipment." Ash grabbed a crystal and handed it to the dwarf. "Take a look. Can you do it?"

The dwarf took a look and said, "Okay, how many do you want?"

"There are six sets of tenth-level weapons and equipment, thirty-six sets of ninth-level weapons, one hundred and eight sets of eighth-level weapons, and six hundred and forty-eight sets of seventh-level weapons," Ash counted.

After a series of numbers were reported, both Hadamai and the dwarf were a little stunned, because the amount was really too large.

Hademei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother, this amount is a bit too big. You can't just take advantage of me like this."

Ash was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "General Hademei, you still want to hire me? If I want to build something, I will naturally pay for it myself."

"That won't do!" Hadamay waved his hand. "You are a great hero after all. Dorian, calculate how much you want. I'll pay half!"

Dorian, the director of Lieshan Workshop, calculated and said, "A total of 446.3 million gold coins."

Hadamai's heart skipped a beat: "How much?!"

"Four hundred and forty-six million!" Dorian's mouth twitched and he added another zero.

Hadamai looked unkindly: "How much!?"

Dorian's face also turned a little green: "Four hundred and forty million, General!"

Hardmai put his hand on Dorian's shoulder: "How much is it? You can't even give me a discount!"

"This is already the cost price, General!" Dorian gritted his teeth and said, "The labor cost is the lowest, General!"

Ash patted Hardmai on the shoulder and said, "General Hardmai, please don't embarrass me. I know what I want to build, and this price is almost a loss."

"Director Dorian, right?" Ash turned and said, "Please vacate a few warehouses. I have some materials myself, which should be able to offset a lot of the premium."

Dorian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that Ash provided the materials himself.

After all, some monster materials are not produced in abundance by the dwarves or even the entire Northern Territory, so they have to be purchased from outside at a premium, so the cost is naturally high.

In the warehouse, Ash took out 90 million gold coins and a mountain of materials. "Put the money in the account first, and if it's not enough, we can use the urgently needed materials to make up for it." Ash said to Dorian.

Dorian looked at the giant dragon corpse in the middle and couldn't help swallowing. This aura seemed to be at the demigod level.

As for who that giant dragon corpse belongs to?
Do you remember the twin dragon ghosts that escaped during the trip to Fuso? This corpse belongs to it. Ash found the time to use [Omen of All Things] and killed it. Since most of the power of faith was digested by it, Ash kept its corpse and prepared to make equipment.

{Achievement: [Spendthrift VIII] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*128}
{Achievement: [Spendthrift IX] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*256}
As Dorian finished reporting the materials to be collected, the [Spendthrift] series of achievements was completed, and Ash's achievements increased by almost one-tenth.

Ash put away the remaining materials and asked, "How long will it take to complete it?"

"About three years," Dorian estimated.

This made Ash frown: "Three years, that's fine."

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the speed, Ash did not say much. After all, this was built for the army after the founding of the country.

Developing a country is a long process, so it’s okay to go a little slower.

After explaining some more details, Ash followed Hadamai away.

When Hadamai left, his mouth was still twitching. Although he did not pay half in the end, he still paid 40 million, which was enough to make him feel painful.

He does not have the domineering fighting power of Ash. Killing a demigod is as easy as killing a chicken. Moreover, a demigod can run faster than a chicken. If he sees that the situation is not good, he will definitely run away, and he with his short legs cannot catch up with him.

Therefore, his wealth accumulation is not as good as Ash's.

In the next two or three days, Ash and Susanna stayed together. He couldn't let go of this new big car.

Then one day, Ash received an invitation from the dwarf coach Ogg.

"What does he want from me?" Ash asked in confusion, pressing Susanna's warm horns.

"Well, maybe it's because of Feishitu?" Susannah stammered.

"Really?" Ash retorted.

goo~ goo~
"Ha~" Susannah let out a breath after drinking the maple syrup water. "That should be the case. Calculating the time, the scout should have finished his investigation and returned."

"Then go meet him." Ash stood up and said.

"Okay." Susanna rinsed her mouth, stood up, straightened her clothes, and followed Ash away.

Soon, Ash met the dwarf commander at the main fort on the battle front.

Oger is very tall, more than 1.8 meters tall, and does not look like a dwarf.

However, there are often big men of two or three meters in height among the Homo sapiens, and it is not uncommon to see a 1.8-meter tall guy among the dwarves who have an average height of 1.4 meters.

"Hello, Ash the Stegosaurus, or Ash the Pillar Hero." Oger stretched out his hand to Ash.

"Don't do that." Ash shook his hand. "I don't like these two titles very much. The title of Sword Master suits me better."

"Hahaha, it seems you are very confident in your swordsmanship!" Oger laughed.

"Of course, if you don't have this confidence, there is no point in holding a sword." said Yaxiu.

Oger looked at Ash and said, "You are as arrogant as your teacher."

Ash asked in confusion, "Really? When I was studying with the teacher, he seemed quite kind."

He was telling the truth. The old man was strict when teaching, but he was really nothing like Zhang Kuang.

"It seems that you have never seen him fight." Og said, "When you saw it with your own eyes, you wanted to smash his mouth."

"Hearing what you said, I can roughly imagine what the scene is like." Ash said.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Og changed the subject, "I have sent people to confirm that the swamp immortal demon Feishitu is indeed dead. Thank you very much for getting rid of this great harm for us dwarves."

"In fact, we can eliminate a few more." Ash said with a smile, "You know I have the power of purification, so I am quite envious of them."

Oger's heart was moved: "Are you willing to make another move?"

"Of course." Ash nodded. "I will stay in the Crucible Volcano Cluster for a while. If any of Nurgle's Chosen invade during this time, please notify me."

It is impossible to go deep into the corrupted land, after all, there is always the danger of facing the true form of Nurgle.

But Ash still has the courage to eat a few of Nurgle's Chosen outside, and he is quite brave.

"Madam Susanna can be notified of the specific information. I will stay with her for a while and learn some knowledge about magic spears and forging." said Yaxiu.

This is the truth. In order to forge the magic spear, Susanna actually learned the forging method herself, otherwise she would not have been able to carry the Red Lotus Forging Method with her.

Moreover, Ash is interested in Susanna's magic spear and wants to see if he can use it to improve the battle star form of his second body.

　There are still two thousand words, wait a little longer.
