After checking his points, Zong Shen walked straight to the blacksmith shop.
The Tier 2 blacksmith shop was quite a bit more spacious than Tier 1.
It was a semi-open house with a furnace, cooling pool, and forging table, a small but complete setup.
With another day gone, he was ready to check out the progress of the Dwarf Uncle's forging.
The night before, he had given the Dwarf Uncle plenty of materials from the mine, plus the wild beast materials Wenresa hunted on the last night.
He wondered if the Dwarf Uncle would surprise him today.
Zong Shen's mind was already imagining the scene of the Dwarf Uncle laboriously sweating and forging.
As he approached the blacksmith shop, he realized he was worrying for nothing.
The Dwarf Uncle was lying on the forging platform, fast asleep.
The wine jar beside him was empty.
His face was flushed; his shirt was open, exposing his furry chest, and he was sleeping soundly.
Zong Shen was speechless...
This guy seemed to be the most carefree one in the territory.
Despite being as high-level as 47, possessing rare-level talent, he was a hopeless drunk, appearing plain and ordinary.
Zong Shen extended his hand and shook him.
"Uncle, Uncle Dwarf!"
"Wake up!"
The Dwarf Uncle remained as still as a mountain, scratching his behind without any intention of waking.
In his drunken state, even a farmer could easily subdue him.
Suddenly, Zong Shen had an idea and took out a jar of exquisite rum.
Popping the cork, he placed it near the Dwarf Uncle, swirling to release the aroma.
"Gulp!"
The sleeping Dwarf Uncle swallowed his drool.
His nose continued to inhale the wine aroma.
He slowly opened his bleary eyes.
"Wine..."
"Huh? Lord, why have you come!"
The Dwarf Uncle raised his head following the wine scent and saw Zong Shen.
Instantly, he sobered up quite a bit.
He could laze around recklessly in private.
But before Zong Shen, he felt a bit guilty about slacking off.
"Did you finish forging yesterday's materials?"
Zong Shen smiled faintly and quietly asked.
The Dwarf Uncle sighed in relief.
He patted his chest and pointed to the corner at the back of the blacksmith shop.
"All forged, those spider web monsters' blade legs were pretty good, but the other materials were not very suitable for crafting."
"Those compound eyes and poison sacs might be useful only to an alchemist and alchemist."
The Dwarf Uncle spread his hands.
Zong Shen looked in the direction he pointed.
The corner was piled with a dozen swords, all forged with blade legs as the base material.
The quantity was small, but the quality was quite good, all of refined level.
Zong Shen stashed away all those pieces of equipment.
The Dwarf Uncle was eyeing the jar of wine he had just taken out.
He went directly to the Dwarf Uncle, smiling broadly.
"Uncle, I've recently acquired something good, the craftsmanship is extremely refined but unfortunately, it's damaged."
"By the way, that thing seems to have the marks of iron hammer and spark."
Upon hearing Zong Shen say that, the Dwarf Uncle's eyebrows raised immediately.
"Huh? Iron Hammer... Spark...?"
"Could it be the Iron Furnace Badge of the ancient King of the High Mountains!"
"Lord, let me see it quickly!"
The Dwarf Uncle was startled, his drunkenness mostly awakened.
He appeared quite interested in what Zong Shen was talking about.
That's precisely the effect Zong Shen wanted.
With a smile on his face, he shook his head.
"It won't fit here, let's go outside the blacksmith shop."
With that, he walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Standing at the entrance of the blacksmith shop.
The Dwarf Uncle followed, eagerly watching.
Zong Shen waved his hand, revealing the heavy combat puppet.
The sturdy metal body exuded the beauty of strength.
In the moonlight, it looked like a sculpture.
The Dwarf Uncle was stunned.
"This was created over ten thousand years ago when our Dwarf Race joined forces with many races to form the Alliance Army, combating those terrifying Other Dimension Demons, we jointly created this combat puppet."
"Look at this badge, this is King of the High Mountains' Iron Furnace Badge!"
"Look at the solid body, see those intricate components, all crafted with rune forging technology."
"This was the pinnacle of forging technology back then, capable of integrating rune power into the material, only such a material could be so sturdy, able to bear the load."
"Moreover, this puppet should be powered by a high-level magic core as its energy source."
"The puppet's major directive processing components are composed of magic energy components, coordinating with each other for processing."
"The integration of limbs, joints, and components was completed by goblin engineers, also incorporating many unique materials from alchemy."
"Only those skillful little green hides could handle assembly tasks!"
"Marvelous! Truly marvelous!"
The Dwarf Uncle praised it endlessly.
Jumping around this heavy combat puppet.
It was the first time Zong Shen saw the Dwarf Uncle showing such intense interest in something other than alcohol.
Listening to his continuous introduction, he was eager to hang around the neck of this heavy combat puppet forever.
"I see! Truly formidable!"
"I wonder if the Dwarf Uncle could repair this puppet?"
Zong Shen praised, then stated his purpose.
At this time, the Dwarf Uncle had climbed onto the puppet's shoulder; upon hearing Zong Shen, he paused.
"Hmm..."
"Well..."
"I checked it over, and the damaged part seems to be due to a missing magic energy directive."
"To get this fixed, you'll need to find a high-level magic energy scientist."
"Without this, it can't properly receive directives, possibly causing it to go out of control."
The Dwarf Uncle said with a look of helplessness.
Just as the saying goes, every profession has its specialization.
This combat puppet was a product of the great war, combining the wisdom of many races.
"Sigh... Looks like I still have to figure out a way to find a so-called magic energy scientist."
Zong Shen was a bit disappointed; the attributes of this puppet were excellent.
Unfortunately, once activated, it would attack indiscriminately, lacking enemy and ally recognition, stopping only when the energy runs out.
"If activated now, this puppet would indiscriminately attack. Do you have a solution to fix it?"
Zong Shen asked again.
Seeing the Dwarf Uncle nod seriously.
"I only know a little bit about magic energy technology."
"No way to repair it, but let me study it, maybe I can modify it, adding a communication crystal near the magic core as a switch to block."
"Using the territory's magic energy crystal communication tower as the command node, connecting the switch crystal to shut off the circuit is the stop function; reconnecting is activation."
The Dwarf Uncle proposed a scheme.
Zong Shen roughly visualized it.
He would leave the combat puppet among the enemies, then when the enemies gathered around it.
He would connect the crystal to start the magic core supplying energy.
The combat puppet would go on a rampage!
The Dwarf Uncle's puppet repair plan sounded profound and mysterious.
But the feasibility was quite high!
