After the nicotine finished eating the fruit, the two chatted for a long time. As a result, he never felt anything special. Could it be that these dead peanuts have no effect on magical creatures?

Lei Jiu was a little depressed.

Open the list of properties of nicotine, um, the properties have not changed at all.

Hey?

There is a play!

I saw that the nicotine status column changed from normal to strengthening...

It seemed that, unlike the purple golden fruit that Luo Zheng had eaten before, these dead peanuts took a certain amount of time to ferment, not overnight.

It's just that I don't know how long this time will last.

Since there was no effect for the time being, Lei Jiu naturally wouldn't stay here, and he and Nicotine turned to Dwarf Castle to see the latest achievements of the dwarves.

In particular, the epic armor that Edgar forged for him has disappeared.

When I arrived at Dwarf Castle, I found that the hot scene here is not inferior to the outside, and it is really hot.

The entire underground space of the Dwarf Fort was full of fires, and the space was flushed red. The continuous beating sound made Lei Jiu uncomfortable. It felt very noisy, and it was difficult to calm down.

I don't know how the dwarves conceived the material and design of the weapon in this environment.

Although the weather outside is a bit cold, the dwarf castle in the underground does not feel much, and even in the deep winter, the cold wind and frost can't blow tens of meters deep underground, and it can't freeze through such a thick soil and rock formations.

Could it be that the warm winters and cool summers are one reason why the mountain dwarves insist on living underground?

It's just... Judging by the intensity of the fire, it's true that there is warmth in winter, but it's just summer, it's probably not as cool as it gets.

When the dwarves were forging, they were very focused. At least when Lei Jiu, the island owner, walked by their side, the dwarves didn't pay attention to him.

Therefore, the star-holding-moon treatment that is very common elsewhere is naturally absent here.

Of course, Lei Jiu didn't care. In fact, he didn't like the feeling that wherever he went, a group of people gathered around you.

At present, Huanghuang Island is still small in size and has a small population. As it develops better and better in the future, with more and more population, it will be more and more difficult for him to travel alone or in plain clothes.

Now, sometimes he walks alone in the city, and many islanders surround him out of love. After waiting, it may be out of novelty, "Look, that is the legendary island owner, so the island owner looks like this!"

The tone was like what Lei Jiu said when he first went to the zoo and pointed at the monkeys in the enclosure, "It turns out that monkeys look like this!"

Passing through the stoves, Lei Jiu came to the center of the square. Sure enough, Edgar's stove was still here.

There is a relatively large iron chimney connected to the stove, and the chimneys on the stove in all directions gather here, and finally converge at a position close to the top of the cave. A huge chimney covers them, and then goes deep into the mountain.

Obviously, there should be straight to the ground on the mountainside of Mount Mangtie.

Just now, he was still wondering, how come to the mountainside, and then look up, there is always a feeling of smoke, it turns out that the culprit is here.

I don't know where the vents are located in the underground space of this dwarf fort.

But thinking about it, the dwarves who have lived underground for so many years must have a wealth of experience in preventing carbon monoxide poisoning. You can tell from the vigorous flames in these stoves that there is still plenty of oxygen here.

And here, Lei Jiu also found a component similar to a pedal blower. The coal is not fully burned, and the probability of carbon monoxide production is greatly reduced.

But... even after taking so many measures, Lei Jiu still doesn't believe that the carbon monoxide content in Dwarf Fort does not exceed the standard.

After all, it's not really an open space, and there are too many stoves.

As for why the dwarves stayed here for a long time and it was fine...

Maybe their blood composition is a little special? Contains substances that inhibit the affinity between red blood cells and carbon monoxide? Does it affect the oxygen transport capacity of the blood?

This is not impossible, after all, the years when mountain dwarf dens burned coal and ignited fires for forging in relatively closed underground spaces are quite a long time ago.

If it wasn't special, it would have been wiped out by carbon monoxide long ago.

However, Lei Jiu didn't know if his red-haired body had such ability. Anyway, he didn't plan to try, so it's better not to stay here for too long.

I was thinking about it in my heart, and I asked Edgar about the progress of the forging and the overall situation of the Dwarf Castle and left immediately. Edgar finally found the island owner who was standing not far from him.

Lei Jiu didn't talk to Edgar any more and went straight to the topic.

Hearing the island owner's question, Edgar, who had always been aware of it, gave Lei Jiu a simple answer, allowing Lei Jiu to grasp the current general situation of Dwarf Castle.

In the current dwarf castle, in addition to Edgar, there are four or five dwarves who have laid a solid foundation and can try to build epic equipment.

But in order not to waste materials, Edgar let them continue to familiarize themselves with the physical properties and functional properties of various materials for a while. After all, in the past, the dwarves only had a few simple metals such as iron ore. The familiarity of the material is not high.

Other dwarves do not have such high forging skills as Edgar, and their ability to control the properties of materials is much worse, so naturally it takes longer to get familiar with them.

However, he also said that in a month or two, these four or five people can start forging epic equipment.

As for other dwarves, it takes longer to familiarize themselves with new metals and materials, and most dwarves' forging foundation is not solid enough. Even after getting familiar with it, they still couldn't break through the forging threshold of epic equipment for a long time, and could only continue to struggle in the gold level equipment stage.

Lei Jiu didn't care too much about this.

At least for a long period of time, his main goal is to popularize gold-level equipment in the army~lightnovelpub.net~ As for the actual equipment, it can only be provided to a small number of generals in the army. The value of the materials consumed can drag down the current Huanghuang Island, even if he still has tens of millions of gold coins in his hand, he can't hold it.

Among the materials of 1 million gold coins that were obtained from the Ninth Chamber of Commerce in the Deep Sea Mermaid Empire, there are about 300,000 metals and materials used for equipment forging. Among them, the real value is high, and the materials that have obvious effects on upgrading equipment level, no matter what. In terms of variety and quantity, the proportion is very small.

Speaking of the armor he made for Lei Jiu, Edgar became interested and started talking.

After hearing that the armor was about to be completed, Lei Jiu didn't want to continue listening to Edgar's chatter, so he quickly changed the subject and asked about ventilation and gas poisoning.

The answer he got made Lei Jiu stunned and surprised.

The dwarves do know that if coal is not sufficiently burned, it will produce gases that are harmful to many creatures, but as Lei Jiu thought, the mountain dwarves themselves have a high resistance to it.

As long as the concentration is too high, the dwarves will not be affected too much.

What surprised Lei Jiu was that it was recorded in the inheritance of the mountain dwarves that their ancestors used this method to destroy the invading enemies. The gas that filled the entire underground space caused the intruders to fall into a coma and eventually died. most of it was lost.

Uh, this trick... can also be used by mountain dwarves.

Otherwise, instead of killing the invaders, they will perish with the invaders!
