It's just a little surprised, and it's hard to say that it's difficult.

After all, Carol Danforth has never regarded the Cube as her own. Whether past or present, she is just an irrelevant outsider in terms of ownership. Moreover, apart from Nick Fury, who met and befriended in the "adventure", she actually didn't have much sense of belonging to the secret agency SHIELD.

To stand up for S.H.I.E.L.D. and compete with Shi Xiaolei for the ownership of space gems? The thought came to mind, and before half a circle, she was kicked out of her mind.

"Well, I'm just asking, there's no other meaning." With a shrug of his shoulders, he turned his attention to the 'artifact' that was only one step away from completion. Carol Danvers looked slightly curious. Leaning closer, he looked at it: "It looks a bit like a shield... Or is this a piece of armor, and I want to go back to a certain piece of armor?"

"Neither right." Holding a large cup, the dwarf king Aicui came over: "Actually, this is a pendant."

On the top of the oval metal plate with a diameter of nearly forty centimeters, many mysterious lines can be vaguely seen. It seems to be used for decoration, but in fact, those are all magic patterns for better control of gems.

Some are directly cut on the metal plate, and some are painted with special paint.

Considering that the quenching step requires immersing the metal plate in the liquid, it is possible to dilute the paint that draws the magic pattern, or to get rid of the magic pattern, which will affect the efficacy of the "artifact" after forging. Dwarf King Aicui did not use water cooling for quenching in this step, but placed the metal plate on the table and cooled it with air cooling.

Although the effect is the same, the quenching method of air cooling is not as fast as water cooling after all.

Taking advantage of some free time, Ai Tri went to have a meal, and didn't come back until this moment.

"Pendant?" Looking back at Ai Tri, Carol Danvers' face was full of "Are you kidding me" speechless.

Looking at Vargo who has been here in place of Aicui and has been in charge of the reception since just now... Finding that this guy is also smiling but not smiling, she blinked a little hesitantly: "Are you kidding?"

Not only was Carol Danvers puzzled, but Shi Xiaolei also had a similar reaction.

At this moment, Loki suddenly chuckled and stretched out his right hand to Thor: "I said they would definitely not figure it out. Dude, admit defeat."

"Cut~." After holding back his mouth, Thor took off a small bag from his waist and threw it to Loki with a grumpy face.

"So, you two already knew?" Seeing this scene, Shi Xiaolei had a guess in his heart.

"It's not much earlier than you guys." Giving Thor a provocative smile and putting away the small bag, Loki turned his head: "After building my staff, we went back to Asgard. Your contact, I heard that you set off from the Xandar star, and we just came over a little bit. After all, it probably only knew half a day earlier than you."

"..."

Misunderstood what Shi Xiaolei meant and thought he was thinking 'no wonder you didn't stop me', Loki smiled again: "Don't worry, it's not finished yet. When it's done, you won't dislike it. too big."

"Is that what he said?" Turning his head, Shi Xiaolei confirmed to Aicui.

"Yeah." Ai Cui nodded, threw the drinking cup on the slightly messy drafting table, wiped his beard and came to Shi Xiaolei's side: "How much energy is contained in the Infinity Stone, I don't need me. You know it too. It's not that easy to control it comfortably. There are too many magic lines that need to be carved and drawn, and it is normal for them to appear larger when they are spread out. , you won't feel too big."

The same ten grams of gold can be melted into a ball to make a pendant, spread out flat, and can also be made into five square meters of gold foil.

After listening to Aicui's explanation, Shi Xiaolei quickly relieved his worries.

Instead, there is anticipation for this artifact that is one step away from completion.

"When's the last step?"

"Let me see." He stretched out a thick finger and put it on the metal plate to feel it for a while. Ai Tri smiled: "It's almost there."

"Now?" Shi Xiaolei confirmed in surprise.

"That's right, it's now." Picking up the metal plate, Aitri opened her voice and greeted: "Valgo, light up the lights and call the guys back, it's time for us to get to work."

"Received~!"

After pulling the gate, several master-level dwarf craftsmen came to the workshop one after another in two or three minutes.

Taking advantage of this time, Ai Cui has already brought the materials that need to be used from the shelf, and is ready to start work.

No nonsense, just a few greetings to each other, a group of dwarves neatly gathered around the console and began to get busy.

From leisurely to tense, the change of atmosphere is also a momentary thing. Feeling this change, Shi Xiaolei and others involuntarily focused their minds, and their eyes were fixed on the suspended metal plate.

The techniques that the dwarves use are complicated, and in order to match certain timings, they often speed up the rhythm...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shi Xiaolei's first impression was that he was dazzled, and then ~lightnovelpub.net~ gradually rose to a sense of ignorance.

Before I knew it, I was fascinated by it.

Time passed by minute by minute, perhaps only a few minutes, or perhaps dozens of minutes. Finally, the dwarves stopped at the same time as Aitri uttered a sense of accomplishment full of 'done'.

Some people have withdrawn their arms, some are still raising their hands... It doesn't matter what the posture is, in short, the fingers of the dwarves have left the metal plate.

The next moment, the metal plate suspended on the operating table began to fold on its own.

As if the silk was brushed, it was extremely silky. In the process of folding and deforming, there was no sound at all. It wasn't until the last moment when it was transformed into a spherical pendant that there was an extremely subtle Kacha sound.

The faint blue light lit up, then dimmed again. A few rounds back and forth, in the rhythm as if breathing, revealing a sense of freshness.

About half a minute later, the blue light disappeared completely, and the suspended pendant suddenly lost its buoyancy and fell to the table with a swoosh.

Aitri had already stretched out his big hand and waited below.

"Crack." After taking it straight, he didn't even look at it. He waved his hand and threw the walnut-sized pendant at Shi Xiaolei: "Here, your exclusive artifact, try it."
