Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 326 - 150: Gathering the Key Materials for Forging Divine Chosen Weapons and Su Li’s Vast Treasury
"In our dwarven mythology, when Gronni was focused on his magnificent creations, the metallic dust from his hammer combined with his breath to form the Aether Cloud in the air."
"Normally, to obtain Ethereum Gold, one must first establish an Ethereum Refinery to expedite the extraction and refinement process. These refineries are primarily used to concentrate, distill, and purify unprocessed Ethereum Ore."
"Processed Ethereum Gold can be compressed into columns or clumps to enhance melee weapons."
"Its significance is self-evident! Lord, you must have guessed."
Su Li’s eyes lit up as he excitedly asked, "Columns or clumps emitted? So it can craft Divine Chosen Level weapons?!"
All the dwarves nodded emphatically, and Dorglin’s breath quickened, filled with passionate anticipation: "Lord, as soon as the news of Ethereum Gold reaches our territory, the entire mountain range will go mad. The dwarves won’t miss any opportunity to forge Rare Level equipment, just as humans wouldn’t miss a chance to become Divine Chosen Knights."
"Crafting Rare Level equipment will immediately make a dwarf an expert in forging. In the future, this equipment will be passed down, and for generations, people will remember the name of its creator, which is an unparalleled temptation for honor-seeking dwarves."
"In the future, champion-level or even Divine Chosen Level dwarven masters of forging will come to the Hesse Territory. No, not the future, I knew at Redbeard Castle and Dragon Rock Forge that there are champion-level dwarves who have always yearned to create Rare Level equipment. I think I can immediately write to them about this news, and within two months, they will madly rush here." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"With just 20 pounds of Ethereum Gold, we can attempt to forge the first Divine Chosen Level weapon! As for the other materials like Star Iron, Cold-Forged Steel, Vibranium, Silver Steel, and Meteor Iron, we’ve already gathered them in our territory."
Many of these metals are not necessary; the key is what attributes and capabilities the dwarves want to craft into the Rare Level equipment.
One thing is certain: Su Li’s treasury is lavishly wealthy, filled with a dazzling array of gemstones, pearls, armor, rune weapons, rune items, and even precious metals—all enough to make any dwarf envious of its massive scale.
Take the Golden Crown alone; he has a whole room in his vault with three treasure chests stuffed full, totaling 26,889 coins!
This is the result of Philis enthusiastically counting them seven times—absolutely accurate.
Half of it came from selling Holy Purple Vine pods; one-third came from spoils, taxes, and trade proceeds, and the remaining third came from opportunities revealed by his Daily Intelligence system, with sources as varied as stolen goods from the Thieves’ Guild, Lanode Church property, ancient relics’ inheritance, and even some strange caves and creature nests’ remnants.
For instance, Harpies love to bring other races back to their lair and feast on them, but the armor and wealth on these adventurers, travelers, and even ogre mercenaries are left behind, discarded in the corners of the cave.
In this battle, Su Li nearly annihilated the Harpies. Before other Harpies roaming in from other directions could occupy this territory, the Daily Intelligence system revealed to Su Li the location of this empty lair.
Su Li’s main army couldn’t enter, but he could easily send skilled half-elves to retrieve their wealth.
The Harpies piled these abandoned items and wealth in the corner of the cave like garbage, forming a mountain of rubbish.
However, when you brush away the dusty feathers and dirt on top, underneath is a glimmering treasure trove, with hundreds of Golden Crowns, a dozen Dwarf Oath Golds, and even an Ogre’s Vibranium Staff, yielding a windfall for Su Li.
Similarly, the Daily Intelligence system revealed the locations of numerous precious rare metals to Su Li.
He’s not particularly interested, but Philis enjoys telling him, as he lies with his head on her cool, beautiful legs, about how much wealth they’ve accrued in the castle. At these moments, she is especially happy and sweet, filled with hope for the future, feeling that life is becoming increasingly prosperous day by day.
She doesn’t harbor grand ambitions and knows that, given her status as a female courtier, it is impossible for her to become the Lord’s legitimate wife.
She is content if her child is widely recognized, not scorned as a bastard, but instead has a respectable status.
Though children of female courtiers aren’t considered bastards, they lack inheritance rights.
She cautiously pleases Su Li, hoping that one day, as the Hesse Territory grows, Su Li might not give the child inheritance rights, but would at least bestow upon the child the title of Kingdom Knight, or better yet, Baron, which would be her perfect dream come true.
If Su Li shows a bit of fatherly affection and the child fights heroically, knighting him as a Kingdom Knight would be entirely reasonable.
Philis has inquired, and within the Bauhinia Clan, one of Su Li’s cousins without inheritance rights also received a village as an estate due to his bravery in battle.
Su Li spoils her, and to satisfy her hobby and encourage her to exercise more, he promises to reward her with 10 Golden Crowns every time she completes an inventory of the castle’s wealth.
