Marvel’s Princess Chapter 444: Creating the Black Arrow
Bela and the dwarf general named Sogling talked about the wind crossbow and the black arrow.
Thogling has nothing to do with Thorin, Thorne, or Thor, it's just that the names are similar.
The reason why Dane Ironfoot appointed him as the commander of the two thousand dwarf soldiers was because he was not good at traditional dwarf fighting. There were many dwarves who wielded axes and hammers and smashed the heads of orcs into the cavity. , Sogling is not that kind of dwarf. His performance in battle is average, but he also has a talent that Dann Ironfoot values very much, magic resistance. He is born with strong resistance to magic.
In order to prevent Bella, a witch, from playing evil magic and greedy the money of the Mo tribe, Dane Ironfoot left Sogling, who was naturally resistant to magic, to help.
Obviously, it was to resist the magic of the evil dragon, but he actually didn’t know whether the dragon had magic.
Bella also felt that it was very strange. The world is so big and full of wonders. This sentence gave her a new understanding.
In her view, except for a few people who have gone deep into the path of magic, most apprentices, junior mages, ordinary people, including superheroes and villains, have no magic resistance.
Magical creatures such as Balrogs and dragons have magic resistance, demons and angels have it, but ordinary people certainly don’t. Elves and dwarves have extremely weak resistance, so low that it is almost non-existent, but Sogling has it. The magic resistance of this dwarf is very obvious, and Bella cannot read his mind without attracting his attention. This dwarf's magic resistance is very high.
Because she couldn't see through her thoughts, Bella could only repeat her intention three times before the other party understood what she meant.
Thogling turned the black arrow over and over, discussed it with a few old dwarves, and then gave Bella an accurate answer: "We can do it. It's not difficult to make a wind crossbow, but the black arrow... There are really not many metal materials like this nowadays..."
Bela had expected this. If she could build it at will, Thorin's grandfather would not have to run away. He could just build a thousand wind crossbows, and Smaug would shoot him to death if he dared to come over!
No need for more, a hundred wind crossbows, shooting a thousand black arrows, if you don’t believe that Smaug will not die!
“Well, how many black arrows can you make now?”
Sogling opened his left hand: "Five arrows."
This is too little! Bella was a little dissatisfied, but the dwarves swore that they could make up to five weapons with the materials they needed, and not one more.
Bella lowered her head and thought for a while, then picked up the black arrow: "You guys wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."
Opening the portal, she returned to Earth.
After identifying the direction, she teleported directly to the outside of the Red Knight's spaceship. The spacecraft interfered greatly with the teleportation. After a little effort, she saw the Guardian Diamond Red Knight again.
“Can you scan this metal for me and see what materials are needed to synthesize it?”
When it comes to understanding metals, I am afraid that humans and dwarves combined are not as good as Transformers, who are originally silicon-based life forms.
The Red Knight, who drank a lot of aviation gasoline from Bella, did not refuse this kind of easy job.
He picked up the black arrow. The two-meter-long black arrow looked like a toothpick in his hand. He looked back and forth, and then used his eyesight to scan and analyze the material.
A large amount of data was presented to him on the holographic display screen nearby. Bella was not a student of metal materials and could not understand the data.
“Is there such a metal on earth?”
The red knight neither nodded nor shook his head: "It depends on how you understand the concept of 'have'."
Bella asked another question: "Can it be synthesized?"
The red knight looked around, stood up and walked out of the main control room. Bella followed him curiously.
I saw the red knight looking around from time to time, searching for something in the passages that were one-fifth soaked by sea water like a fish. Sometimes, he picked up a metal plate and put it to his ear. He knocked twice, then shook his head and threw the metal plate into the water. Sometimes he would pull some irregular metal fragments from the inner wall of the spacecraft and examine them carefully.
Finally, he removed a piece of metal the size of a car from the dented wall of the spacecraft, analyzed it quickly, and then handed it to Bella with satisfaction.
“Well, this should be similar to the material of your arrow. The error does not exceed 0.002%.”
Bella took it with a confused look on her face and found that the thing was so heavy that she could not lift it even with a ton of bench press strength.
“What is this?”
"I don't know how to tell you. You can understand it as the fragments ejected from the volcano, which should be closest to the material properties of your arrow, exactly the same..." Red Knight He scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to find the exact same one. It's also very labor-intensive to use your Earth's existing technology to synthesize it. This one should be about the same."
Half a day later, Bella summoned more than 20 members of the Snake Eyes clan, and then carried the ore, which weighed at least ten tons, back to Changhu Town.
She estimated that if the standards were raised a little, the Red Knights would be able to find similar metals in their building that looked more like a garbage dump than a spaceship. They Guardian King Kongs have been to too many planets, and although this kind of ore is precious , but to them, it is the kind of 'clutter' that is an eyesore when placed in front of them.
The dwarves did not see what the ore Bela brought was at first, and were a little contemptuous. However, after several old dwarves observed, wiped, and knocked it, one old dwarf bit it with his teeth and broke three big teeth. Finally, they finally paid attention to it.
Opening the furnace, smelting, and forging, Bella didn't understand what happened next, so she gave the dwarves the task of making wind crossbows and black arrows.
This thing is because materials are scarce and smelting is difficult. What is actually so difficult to make? Two-meter-long arrow body, spiral arrowhead, what else? Gone!
Bard felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that the black arrows that he regarded as family heirlooms were forged in batches by dwarf craftsmen.
Things are rare and valuable, and it would be a joke for him to treat them as family heirlooms after they are numbered in hundreds or thousands.
What are the black arrows used for? He knew very well that building such hundreds and thousands of them was definitely not for the purpose of building a city's business card. He felt that as a member of the Changhu Town Management Committee, he had to admonish the lord.
When he found Bella, someone was wearing a white robe and holding a staff, patrolling among a group of sweating dwarves.
“Let me take the liberty to ask, you don’t want to slay the dragon, do you?”
Bella looked at him strangely, how fresh it was! Why don't you kill that dragon and kill Changhu Town when he wakes up?
"I have this idea." She stopped what Bard was about to say: "I'm sure. Maybe you don't know. I have killed all the Balrogs in Kesad-dûm. It's just an evil dragon. Make some preparations. , can still be killed."
Bella has been observing the future through the time stone for the past two days. The black arrow is the easiest way to deal with Smaug. There is a sense of destiny in it. Smaug will definitely be shot to death by the black arrow!
