Chapter 74 (1/2)
Although he said he wanted to take Brian to try steelmaking, don couldn't figure out what to do. In a word, he took Brian to get some limestone, then went to the charcoal factory to get some charcoal, and then found an empty place on the edge of the forest to start work.
”Big brother, what are you going to do?”
Brian looked at Donne squatting there studying stones. His face was tangled. He clearly asked himself to watch and study, but he couldn't understand it. He still learned a hair!
”Firing limestone.”
”Limestone?”
”Here are these stones.”
Donne pointed to the limestone next to him: ”quicklime is needed for steelmaking. When these limestone are calcined at high temperature, quicklime and a gas will be generated.”
”This kind of stone? We have it all over the ground.”
The ambris mountains themselves are a super huge mineral vein. Coupled with the dwarf digging around, it is normal to have a lot of limestone.
”Oh, remember, this kind of stone is essential for steelmaking.”
When Donne finished, he probably remembered almost. With a hook in his hand, the mage's hand grabbed the limestone and floated up. Then an idea flashed, and a cluster of hot flames suddenly appeared in the air.
”Eh!? brother, are you a magician?”
Brian was very surprised: ”I always thought you were a soldier according to your fighting situation!”
”Don't tell anyone.”
Donne said casually, but his eyes were fixed on the limestone, and the temperature of the flame kept rising.
”Why?”
Brian scratched his head: ”magicians are much more popular than soldiers. If your people know that you are a magician, they probably worship you more and obey you more. If I were you, I would tell them why you should keep it a secret? Do you want to keep a sense of mystery? Do you have enemies? Or --”
”If you talk nonsense again, get out of here!”
Donne's face is tangled. Brian works actively, fights actively and has a good person. It's no problem to be a friend, but why does he talk so much? Especially after drinking wine, it's like a dam with a gate open
Brian said boldly, ”how can you forbid me to speak? The goddess gave us --”
Silence.
Donne's lips moved and Brian's voice disappeared in an instant.
Eh? Why is there no sound?
Brian touched his lips and opened his mouth again. He still didn't make a sound. Suddenly he was worried and shouted desperately. Unfortunately, he still didn't make a sound.
Donne was too lazy to talk to him and devoted himself to calcining limestone.
Soon the color of limestone turned white. The mage's hand shook gently, and a layer of dusty calcium oxide, the so-called quicklime, fell down on it.
With the help of magic, in just a few minutes, the limestone crushed by Donne was calcined and completely turned into quicklime.
After putting away the pile of quicklime, Donne looked back at Brian, but almost laughed.
The guy dug up with his hands and his mouth wide open. Did he think there was something wrong with his voice?
Donne lifted the silence and said, ”next time you talk nonsense, I'll keep you from talking all day.”
”Big brother, I -- eh!? can speak! Damn it -- it's your magic!”
Bryant jumped up as he said, ”you've imprisoned my right to speak!”
”Magic works at this time.”
Donne said with a straight face, ”are you going to watch it?”
”I --”
Brian said dejectedly, ”well, you won!”
Brian wanted to have a good fight with Donne, but on second thought, Donne didn't play much melee. Now he knows he's still a mage. How can he fight!
Donne pointed to the pile of quicklime and said, ”see, these are quicklime.”
Brian leaned over and looked, ”I haven't seen it.”
”It's normal... Don't get close to it. It'll be a big trouble in your eyes.”
”When it meets water, it ripens into lime and releases a lot of heat. It's very dangerous,” Downe said
