Chapter 791: Chapter 791 – Underground Space

Abel followed Bernie and teleported somewhere through a teleportation circle and then a short distance teleportation circle . It looked like it was a part of the Goff Family .

Teleporting like this would hide their location, which was the best way to keep a place secret .

The huge place was underground, lit with fire drawn out from below, shining fiery red .

All 4 sides were secured with hundreds of meters of stone walls . It was like a hall sized room with many more rooms above .

“Abel, this is my family’s secret research area!” Bernie said with a smile .

He could see the Shock in Abel’s eyes . He was very proud . The dwarfs would only show off their above-ground construction to the public . They would not let anyone know about underground tunnels like this .

Opening underground spaces like this was the assets of the dwarfs . As long as they had these underground spaces, their race would never die out .

The dwarf’s ore and material were all found in these dug up spaces . After countless years of mining, the dwarfs had mastered the skills to construct secure facilities underground .

“Bernie, where are the flying boat researchers? I don’t see anyone . ” Abel asked in confused . He looked around and didn’t see any dwarfs . It was empty .

“This place was locked up . All the ingredients for flying boats are ready, but we just don’t have a metallurgist to create the main circle’s material . That’s why this place had become a storage space!” Bernie explained .

“So you just want me to help you with the material for the main circle?” Abel replied .

“Abel, follow me!” Bernie nodded and led the way .

He followed Bernie to the other side of the hall . There was a 3 meters wide human height dark grey rock on the wall with ancient patterns and words etched on to it .

Most eye-catching was a boat-shaped house within a big bubble . Above the etching were some tightly drawn patterns . It was a formula sheet .

Soon, he memorized the flying boat formula sheet and understood how to make the material Bernie needed his help with .

There were 88 different materials in total and hundreds of rounds of metallurgy . It was more complicated than any metallurgical material he had ever seen .

“Abel, this was our discovery when digging this hole . After realizing it was the formula for flying boats, my family locked this place and turned it into the ingredients’ storage space . We believed that one day, our dreams would come true,” Bernie gently placed his hand on the rock and said .

“The main metallurgical material is very complicated; I am not one hundred percent confident!” Abel lowered his voice .

Most of those 88 materials were extremely precious . He had not heard of some of them even as a Grandmaster Blacksmith . As for some other ones, he had heard of them but never seen them in real life .

The labor to gather all 88 of these materials must have been astronomical .

Even as someone who never made a mistake like Abel, he was not confident that he could succeed in one take . There were way too many unknown materials .

“Abel, the most valuable material in the flying boat is still the main metallurgical material . After countless years, the dwarfs had gathered 10 portions of each of those 88 materials!” Bernie said .

Bernie knew the difficulty of metallurgy . If even Abel couldn’t make it, no other Master Alchemist could do so .

Abel felt a little hesitant after hearing that Bernie had gathered only 10 portions of each material . Even if he did not fail, they would only end up with 10 flying boats at most .

How would that be useful? If they wanted to create a delivery web, they needed far more than 10 flying boats .

“Abel, don’t worry . If you can’t succeed in these 10 times, we should be able to gather more materials after another 10 years . You can come back and try again after that . ” Bernie saw Abel’s hesitation, and he thought he was worried about failing .

Abel felt his heart lift . Bernie was not asking him to make 10 flying boats without failing . Looking at Bernie’s face, maybe even one would make him very happy .

“Ok, I’ll do my best!” Abel smiled .

He then realized the formula flying boat did not take up all the space on the dark grey rock . There was a small space on the side with another formula of a simpler object .

That object looked like a cannon from Abel’s earth . It was an extremely powerful long-distance weapon .

“Bernie, do you guys want to make this?” Abel asked .

“That is a mana cannon . It needs mana gems as the main fuel . The weapon masters in my family had looked into it long ago . They were some very powerful long-distance weapons in ancient times, but we can no longer make them . Even if we can, no one will use them!” Bernie said with an awkward laugh .

“Why? Its description said that nothing could stop its cannon’s impact, and the rank of the mana gem can adjust its power . If you put a top-level mana gem into it, you’d be invincible!” Abel said curiously .

“Abel, can’t you see that the body of the cannon is completely made out of master rank metallurgical material? Do you know how hard it is to get them? Also, my family weapon master had analyzed that the cannon’s body would fall apart was one shot . Which means it can only be used once!” Bernie shook his head .

Abel couldn’t help but sigh as well . Were those ancient people insane? How could they set those master alchemist rank materials for one-time use? Were the ancient alchemists really that powerful? Did they have materials everywhere?

“Commander Spirit . Do you know about the mana cannon?” Abel felt his heart tingle . He suddenly remembered the commander spirit on him was also from the ancient times, so he asked .

“Head Master, Mana cannons are forbidden objects of ancient times . They are banned in all battles, but back in the day, many families would store them up as their last backup . ” The commander spirit replied through the power of the will .

Abel could vaguely grasp what the mana cannon signified . They were like nuclear bombs, powerful and banned in ancient times .

However, he was sure of one thing . If he equipped a mana cannon with perfect gems, it’s power would definitely be far greater than his super exploding balls . One could blast energy in all directions, and another relied on magic patterns to increase the explosive power of a perfect gem and ignited an explosion to a single spot .

“Too bad!” Abel sighed again . If this mana cannon could be used multiple times, any sacrifice would be worth it .

“Abel, if you are really interested . We have a full set of mana cannon ingredients gathered up for research . We don’t have much use for them anyway so that I can give it to you as a gift!” Bernie saw that Abel was quite interested in the mana cannon .

Abel also laughed a little . He couldn’t believe Bernie had no use for the materials . Those were master rank metallurgical materials . Even if they didn’t use it to make a mana cannon, those materials would be extremely valuable by themselves .
