Chapter 1162: Dig coal to be a miner

"You mean the burning black stone?" Xiao Keduo's eyes rounded, looking at Li Zhenbang in disbelief.
"Yes, haven't you seen it? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be right!" Li Zhenbang frowned. It's hard to say anything else, but coal should be a relatively common type of thing.
"The kind of black stone you mentioned is totally unusable. We all call it the devil's curse."
"After discovering that this kind of thing could burn, some dwarves tried to use it. As a result, many people died for no reason. The reason has not been discovered."
"Even if they weren't dead, many people have had terrible consequences, such as paralysis, incontinence, aphasia, blindness, and even dementia, so everyone calls this black stone a devil's curse."
"None of us dwarves are afraid of death, and even some dwarves use their own flesh and blood and even their souls to forge them in order to create peerless artifacts."
"But this kind of black stone will not only kill people, but it's also unusable. We have tried to use it before, and there have been too many problems. The most obvious problem is that the smelted iron becomes extremely brittle. It may break directly, so it is not usable at all."
"Zhenbang, I advise you to avoid contact with this kind of things in the future, there is no benefit!" Xiao Keduo shook his head and persuaded. He thought Li Zhenbang could give him a good idea, but he didn't expect it to be such a suggestion.
Hearing what Xiaokduo said, Li Zhenbang was thoughtful. He has seen the room where the dwarves build weapons. It is relatively closed and not very well ventilated. If coal is used in such an environment, it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause dizziness, hallucinations, and sequelae in severe cases, even life-threatening.
Moreover, not all coals are suitable for crafting. There are too many impurities in ordinary coal. These impurities are incorporated into the iron embryo during smelting, which will only contaminate the iron embryo.
The most suitable for smelting and forging should be coke. Coke is extracted from coking coal, but it is also possible to forge directly from coking coal.
"Is there a coal mine nearby...it's this kind of demon cursed mine." Li Zhenbang did not retreat because of Xiaokduo's reminder, but asked.
"Zhenbang, did you hear me talking? It's useless! Even if you take back what you call coal, no one is willing to try!" Seeing that Li Zhenbang didn't listen to his advice, he wanted to try it. , Xiaokduo persuaded again.
"Will you not help me? If you don't help me, I will have to go to battle myself! Don't you want to build stronger weapons for others to admire?" Li Zhenbang looked at Shocked in amazement.
"But the devil's curse is not a joke, it is really deadly!" Xiao Keduo looked at Li Zhenbang with embarrassment.
"Relax, as long as I am here, you will be fine! I will be with you!" Li Zhenbang solemnly promised.
"Besides, have you ever seen anyone who died using a devil curse?" Li Zhenbang asked rhetorically.
"This... the older generation has passed it down like this, and no one has tried it again." Xiao Keduo shook his head.
"Then your older generations have said that a summoned beast mage can swish your master for thirty-eight times?" Li Zhenbang asked.
"This... no one will pay attention to the summoned beast mage?" Xiao Keduo whispered.
"The legendary Summoned Beast Mage used to be the most powerful magician in the world. No one dared to provoke him easily. Everyone wanted to curry favor! But now? No one looks down on the Summoned Beast Mage!" Li Zhenbang continued.
"I…"
"So, what's passed down by history may not be meaningful, and what's passed down by the older generation is not irreversible!" Li Zhenbang interrupted Shocked who wanted to speak.
"I can't say you! Okay! I do know that there are a few demon places that produce demon curses around. I will take you to get better. But I can state in advance that if you use the demon curse to create, I don’t necessarily know how Help you." Xiaokduo said hurriedly, obviously he has a certain fear of this demon curse.
"Okay! Don't force you, you just need to take me to the land of your so-called demons. I want to take a field trip." Li Zhenbang nodded and agreed.
The big deal is that he built it himself, as long as he finds coking coal, he is confident that he can build a good quality weapon.
I dare not say that it can be comparable to the weapons built by masters, but there is no problem with surpassing the mass-produced weapons of the apprentice.
Li Zhenbang is not a procrastinator. The dwarves knew Shao Keduo, plus a master Fenglan. Master Fenglan has just met, so there is no other person who needs to say hello anymore, so he doesn’t care about Shaok. If he needs a rest, he will go to the so-called Devil's Land.
Xiaokduo was very helpless. The Devil's Land had always been a place where the dwarves stayed away, but for this convulsive brother, he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Fortunately, the rumors did not say that you would be cursed if you went to the Devil's Land. It just said that you might be cursed if you use the Devil's Curse, otherwise Xiaokduo wouldn't really dare to go.
"There is a land of demons!" Xiaokeduo said to Li Zhenbang, pointing to a piece of land in the distance.
Looking at the fairly level land in the distance, Li Zhenbang nodded, and then released the Tudi from the acquired bag, asked him to explore and bring some coal back.
Although Tudi was still a child, he seemed to be more chubby. Obviously, Li Zhenbang did not treat him badly during the period of time with Li Zhenbang.
Xiao Keduo glanced at Tudi in surprise, but didn't say anything. He knew that Li Zhenbang was a summoned beast mage, and there were some strange summoned beasts that were not surprising.
After a short while, Tudi, who was full of black marks, returned, still holding a dark stone in his arms.
After seeing the dark stone, Xiao Keduo stepped back subconsciously, and then looked at Tudi with some worry. The black stone looked much heavier than the little guy, and he was really afraid that the little guy could not hold it and smash it on the pink feet.
"Yes, hard work!" Li Zhenbang took the big stone with one hand, patted Tudi's small head with the other, and then placed the big stone on the ground.
Tudi scratched his eyelids with his fingers, grimaced with his little tongue at Li Zhenbang, and then disappeared.
"Zhenbang, be careful, this thing is very evil!" Xiao Keduo hurriedly reminded as Li Zhenbang was looking at the black stone.
"Why don't you stay a little farther away?" Li Zhenbang couldn't help but smile. If coal is evil, then what else is evil?
"It's all right here, I'm fine, I have to be with you!" It was also the first time that Xiao Keduo saw this black stone. He was actually very curious in his heart, but he was a little afraid of the devil's curse in his heart, so he stood a little bit Look farther away, curl your neck.
"Bang!" Li Zhenbang raised his right hand and smashed this large piece of coal, then picked out a piece of coal of a suitable size and held it in his hand, and then manipulated the fire element in the air to ignite it.
"Zhenbang, be careful! It... it's on fire!" Seeing that the coal was burning, Xiao Keduo rushed to Li Zhenbang's side, and kicked Li Zhenbang's hand and kicked the coal away. Got out.
"Zhenbang, I'll just say this thing is evil! Look, it's burning up by itself, if I'm one step late, maybe you'll also be burning too!" Xiao Keduo said with lingering fear.
Li Zhenbang didn't expect that Xiao Keduo would rush over without hesitation if he was afraid that he would be injured. This moved him very much. You should know that Xiao Keduo was very afraid of coal in his heart. But as he knew it, he thought that Shockedo's actions were very funny, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Zhenbang, let's go back! You don't have to worry about the grease thing. If you really want to worry about it, you still think about what you should do in the future!" Shaoke looked at Li Zhenbang and wanted to pick up another piece of coal. , Hurriedly pulled him to persuade.
"Old Xiao, don't worry, don't worry, I'll be fine!" Li Zhenbang comforted Xiao Keduo, and then picked up another piece of coal, which burned again.
"Be careful! Do it again!" Xiao Keduo yelled loudly when he saw the coals burn again, and wanted to repeat the trick.
"Don't..." Li Zhenbang only had time to say a word, and hurriedly avoided.
"I kindled it. I want to study it, Old Xiao, don't mess around, I'm fine!" Li Zhenbang hurriedly yelled, avoiding the attack of Xiaokeduo.
Xiao Keduo's feet stretched out again and stopped in the air, looking at Li Zhenbang solemnly, "What you said is true?"
He didn't see Li Zhenbang using such things as Huozhuangzi and flint, so he was very skeptical.
"What did I lie to you for? Not all coal can be used for smelting. I need to study it carefully." Li Zhenbang explained.
"Okay! Then be careful, if you feel something wrong, throw it out or call me." Xiao Keduo's eyes were always cautiously staring at the red coal in Li Zhenbang's hand.
"I see!" Li Zhenbang shook his head helplessly.
"Oh!" Li Zhenbang sighed and threw the coal on the ground.
He later asked Tudi to dig out a lot of coal from different places. As a result, the coal here was not coking coal. It was no problem to use it for making fires and cooking, but if it was used for smelting, there were too many impurities and it was not suitable.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Shockedo asked cautiously.
"It's okay. The coal here is not suitable for smelting. It is only suitable for heating and cooking." Li Zhenbang shook his head, "Take me to the next place!"
"What? Go to the next place?" Xiao Keduo felt a little dark in front of his eyes, and cried out in disintegration.
