Chapter 168 Metals, metals everywhere. (1/2)

The sound of drilling along withwith rock filled the mostly empty cavern To the side, a rather bored Mystical Ruby Wolf wasat itsa shi+ny pickaxe

This was so on for quite so hisvarious of the costly minerals There was no time to lose, he had no idea if he would be discovered or if so for him at the exit

While he didn’t think that he was spotted, he could not be sure People with heightened senses and abilities that even his newsystem couldn’t detect were always a possibility It wouldn’t be hard for people to camp out near the lake and wait for his return

This was still not a very probable outcoained they wouldn’t go through with such a scheme At most, they would post a lookout to trail him back home Then they would decide if it orth the trouble to attack the city runesh the dwarves had continued to mess around with him, he could not be easily countered They too had li his runic wares that he could produce at a fast pace

Coular Runesmith his runes were always masterfully crafted, even if another smith of the runes appeared in the city they would find it hard to coical syotten some nice loot this ti for oing through this cavern a couple of ti with The most prevalent ore that he found here was Durium

Durium from the outside looked similar to iron ore but it had a characteristic dark blue sheen to it It was er than iron but this durability ca somewhat brittle Thus after some research, the people found a feays to combine this extremely hard metal with other alloys and finally produced Durasteel

Durasteel was mostly a combination of deep steel and durium with a sprinkle of other minerals It could also be further refined into aether durasteel which would produce iterade adventurers would not be ashamed to use

This would probably be the next step in his life as a Runesmith He would finally be able to shi+ft his focus away froetting here would be enough to get him started

The first e into the better durasteel variant With it, in place, he would actually be able to handle the other rarehere, one of theular mithril in these caverns, instead, it was a fire-resistant variant that instead of a silvery coloring was quite crimson Most miners referred to this ore as Volcanic Mithril due to hoas only found in places where there was lava

This metal was even more resistant than durasteel and didn’t need to be mixed with other minerals Most tier 3 class holders came in contact with this fantasythose circles

It was one of the h quality metals in this world There were only two others Orichalcuest of them all Both of theht of day

Adamantium in particular was considered practically indestructible There were some books on it that described quite the co with this metal A craftsman would at least have to have a set of orichalcum tools to put a dent in adamantium Even with them, the heat that was required to make this metal workable reportedly caused the deaths of some of the craftsmen that attempted to mold it

The craftsh level They would also need to have all of their fire resistance skills leveled up to the highest degree Fro al inferno themselves

Then even if such an Ada it or putting runes would be even harder He wasn’t sure that even a tier 3 runesmith would be up to this task, a tier 4 class holder was more realistic

The third ain was Etherium There were some sizable chunks that were ready to be unearthed and this would probably increase the value of his wares by quite a bit

Etheriuic tower cores They would store y within the from any deterioration factors

With the help of this mineral, he could produce runic weapons that would stand the test of ti a bit of etherium into the durasteelcapabilities many times over

In itself, durasteel wasn’t ular deepsteel when it came to runic deterioration But when combined with so quite close to actual mythril

Roland smirked a bit as he continued to think about the possibilities of using all these metals Thanks to the dwarves he was unable to procure such metals, he was also short on funds as the black o belowThe ores that they were selling were clearly stolen through various reedy miners that sold some on the side

Such materials would always be sold for much less than they would norone for at least a bit less on the black market But for hireedy merchants knew it

Now on the other hand, with all this he was h the dwarven union was powerful there were still merchants that didn’t see theh quality runic durasteel wares he would finally have soain with

Goleical scrolls His portfolio was finally coether and he reckoned that so to do business with hinoring him it wasn’t the same for other cities He just needed to strike a deal with so to transport the durasteel wares out of the city Other larger auction houses were unfazed by the dwarves, in which he would be able to sell even if he was blacklisted in other places

‘If the profits are high enough I could even go there myself, it would probably save me soanize a little trip outside the city There were larger gatherings of adventurers closer to the large super dungeon There gold ranked adventures and ones above them weren’t that rare

Roland had been cooped up in this city for a few years now This wasrobbed or attacked by cult members that he once faced Now on the other hand his store ell protected

Thanks to Lobelia and her friends he had access to the thieves guild With the robbed when he was gone The dwarven union had also not sent any assassins after him as he had previously feared They really did h business

There was a li was clearly off the table If they couldn’t buy him out or price his store out of existence they would let it be Roland could even i over to strike a deal if he ever got wealthy enough That is if they could ever look past hi a human Runesmith

“These elokin’s crystals will also fetch a nice price…”

The second mineral that was quite prevalent here was the crystallized form of elokin’s fluid It was quite similar to oil from the modern world that he came from It would fetch a nice price on the market and thanks to his batteries he didn’t really need it to power his golemic creations
