"This is the residential area, the residential area for those giant slaves."
"So many giant corpses. I have never seen so many giants in my life."
"This is a hill giant, this is a fire giant, this is a stone giant, this is a frost giant, there are even cloud giants. If we add storm giants, the six core clans of the giants will gather together."
"They all died of old age. It should have happened at the moment we lifted the sealing technique on the mineral veins. Even for these immortal species, the sealing time here is too long, far beyond their lifespan."
"I didn't expect that the dwarf, who has always been kind and generous, could also commit such a cruel act."
"Being generous and kind is towards your tribe and friends. Being generous and kind to your enemies is a crime against yourself. When those dwarves made this choice, they were probably forced to do so. The dwarves had already suffered massive losses and were no longer enough. To control and suppress these giant slaves, maybe they just want to seal it for decades or hundreds of years to gain a breathing space for themselves, and then they will go back and restart this place. Who would have thought that they would never have such an opportunity again."
"Many dwarf seals are based on this idea, but once the downhill road starts to go down, how can it be easily reversed? Especially sealing the mineral veins is equivalent to cutting off one's most advantageous tool."
"Everyone is lucky, even the dwarves. Why can't we be the lucky ones? What if we succeed? This is the thought of everyone involved."
"Yeah, if it were us, I'm afraid we would have the same mentality."
"It's a pity that there are so many giants. If we can inherit them completely, what kind of huge power will they be? Even the stone giants in the hands of the Death Chiefs Council are not as many as here."
"Don't be sorry. If they are really still alive, we should be the ones thinking about how to escape now. Giants are not an easy race to control. You see, many of them have already armed themselves. This is preparation. We have united to resist the weak dwarves, and sealing them here is probably a last resort. Perhaps it was because of their rebellion that the dwarves in this city made their final determination."
"What I regret is not their death, but the way they died. If they died in battle or were massacred, I could have had other ways for them to serve me, but if they die of old age, there is nothing they can do, even if they are God can only send them into reincarnation, but cannot resurrect them."
"The lord has so many methods, he even dabbles in the realm of the undead."
"In the past, I quite disagreed with the idea that power is not evil, and it mainly depends on whose hands it is used. But now I have to admit that sometimes, some dark powers do have conveniences that light powers do not have. If they are used well, they are indeed beneficial. Some good causes play a positive role in promoting."
"There are some things that should be treated with caution, especially the forces related to negative energy."
"Thanks for reminding me, but if there were no negative energy, there would be no ghost wine from Vizeme Manor."
"This is possible. The effect of this ghost wine is better than we expected. If the Dungeon of the Colossus is really as stuffy as you say, the demand for this wine will increase significantly."
"This is a typical double standard of yours."
"It seems like that's true, haha."
"There are fountains and lakes here. I don't feel the magic aura above. Where does this water come from?"
"We are now nearly a thousand meters deep below the surface, close to the confined water layer. These fountains must be connected there, and the strong ground pressure will push the water up."
"I didn't expect that there would be so much knowledge inside. It seems that the arrangement of the living area on this floor is not an accident, but has its own profound meaning."
"Why is there a gate here? In the inventory area, those dwarves actually put their inventory area together with the giant slaves' living area. They were not afraid that the giant slaves would rebel and smash these doors."
"Normally, those giant slaves are the best guards for these inventories. This door is twice as thick as the one outside. It is impossible to open it with human power, let alone hammering it open with human power. Things, not to mention the rune protection magic belonging to the dwarves on it."
"I wonder what kind of treasures these dwarves have hoarded here. It's really exciting."
"Hurry, break the seal quickly, I can't wait to see it."
"Don't worry, the sealing magic here is more powerful and complicated than the previous ones. Even if you have the key, it will take a little time to completely break it."
The fifth floor of the Colossus Mining Area is not a mining area, but a residential area. The residential area for giant slaves is full of simple and huge caves, and all items are prepared for oversized humanoids.
As soon as they entered it, they saw a large number of huge corpses. Most of them were lying in their caves with peaceful expressions.
A small number of others had gathered together, wearing crudely patchwork equipment and various mining tools as weapons. They clearly noticed that the situation was strange, but the anger on their faces froze as soon as it appeared.
Regardless of whether they are the giant slaves who were sealed by the mineral vein sealing technique in their sleep or in their waking state, without exception, their faces are extremely old, and their bodies show no signs of corruption.
The way they die now is very mysterious.
In other words, it can be considered that the moment the dwarves' mineral vein sealing technique was successfully cast, they were already killed.
It can also be thought that at the moment when Jihalin released the seal of the mineral vein, they collectively aged and died. What their bodies showed was just an appearance. The giant children who existed here would not grow up and then grow old and die in just a short moment. This This kind of time tracing is more aimed at the soul.
Those without souls or with eternal life, such as stone thorns, were not affected at all. Everything about them, including their memories, stayed at the moment when the mineral vein sealing technique was cast.
These giant slave races are very complex and can be seen in most giant clans. However, they are mainly stone giants, followed by hill giants. There are only a small number of fire giants and frost giants. As nobles among giants, There was only one cloud giant, and the highest-ranking storm giant was not seen.
The total number was also greater than estimated, exceeding twelve hundred, because there were not only adult giants here, but also women and children, and the dwarves allowed them to thrive here.
Not to mention today, even in the era of giants, this is not a small number.
Their huge size destined them to have a terrible food consumption. The annual output of a small manor would not be able to support a giant family of three.
Whether it is the Dragon Empire in the Age of Dragons or the Giant Empire in the Age of Giants, although they have a huge territory, the number of dragons and giants has never been in the hundreds of thousands, let alone millions.
It is quite remarkable that a giant empire can have tens of thousands of giants.
They mainly serve as nobles, ruling and enslaving a large number of dwarf races to farm, forge and serve them.
The number of giants in a large giant city rarely exceeds a thousand.
This once again shows the glory and power of the dwarves here.
Even if these giant slaves turned into corpses, they were not worthless to Gavin.
The main material of the skeleton cannon studied at Vizeme Manor is various bones.
The skeletons of ordinary people are of course different from those of giants. To be more precise, they should be those of creatures with high hit dice, including extraordinary or legendary professionals.
Their bodies are tempered by professional magic infusion and are more compatible with various elements, including negative energy.
It is more likely and more powerful to use these giant skeletons to create skeleton cannons.
But most intelligent beings are taboo about this matter, and they won't make it obvious if they can.
Most of the items on display at Vizeme Manor are ghost wine, ghost eyebands, and ghost cloaks. These magic items related to ghosts are not only not tabooed, but people flock to them.
Gavin has more than once encountered someone wearing his own equipment and showing off their unique skills in front of him. He used to feel a little proud, but now he is used to it.
What really aroused everyone's interest was that in the deepest part of the giant slave living area, they found another steel door, a larger and thicker one, and the magic waves emitted from it were brilliant.
This is clearly the treasure house of the Supreme Shanatar Kingdom.
Their intention of using those giant slaves to guard the treasure is obvious.
Gavin and the others repeated their old tricks again and broke into the treasure house easily.
Even though there was no ordinary person present, he couldn't help but lose his temper again and scream and talk.
"Why are there so many giant-sized equipment here? Have we entered a dwarf's treasure house? Or a giant's?"
"Giant's full-body armor. There is actually a giant's full-body armor here. It's not just one set, but as many as ten sets. It's a finger-thick steel plate. Can this be penetrated by human power? A giant wearing this kind of armor is definitely on the ground. The king above is invincible."
"These armors are not newly forged, but trophies. The dwarves have no way to use them. They can only pile them here as treasures. It is estimated that they will be used to arm those giant slaves when necessary."
"This way, this is the smelting masterpiece of the dwarves of the Supreme Shanatar, the dwarf stainless steel heavy armor!"
"With so many dwarven steel heavy armors, they can at least equip a thousand-man heavy armored army, right?"
"It's far more than that. Here are just the high-quality products on display. There are also boxes of non-high-quality products. I think it should be more than enough to equip three thousand people."
"Huh? These glasses look a little different from ordinary ones."
"It is indeed a little different. This is a by-product of the smelting and forging process in the dungeon. It not only has a super ability to absorb fire elements, but also absorbs a large amount of steel elements. It has a hardness comparable to steel. We call it Steel glass is also called air glass because there are multiple layers of air inside, making them lighter than ordinary glass.”
"Tempered glass? Let me try! Ha...it's really good, it's really good. I was still worrying about the materials for making cloud ray equipment before. I didn't expect that this unique material, this kind of air, could be produced here. What’s the glass production like?”
"The output is not very high, because they are produced by repeated high-temperature smelting and calcining of trace amounts of sand and gravel brought out from dry hot rock formations by a heat-absorbing furnace that absorbs heat for a long time. They are cleaned out every time during the shutdown of the furnace for maintenance. Every month The output is a little more than a ton at most. It is an excellent material for helmet face protection. It minimizes the impact on the field of vision and does not reduce the helmet's defensive capabilities. Look at these dwarf stainless steel heavy armors, all of which are used. Plant materials.”
"I said that I feel that the shape of these dwarf heavy armors is a bit weird. It turns out that the reason is here."
"If you add this kind of air glass with a black coating, you can make it into sunglasses, which can effectively protect those underground races with dark vision. This is how kobold goggles are made."
"It's a pity that the output is a little too low."
"The output is low because the Colossus Dungeon is not operating at full capacity. Since it is a by-product of the heat-absorbing furnace, the longer the heat-absorbing furnace operates and absorbs more heat, the output will naturally increase accordingly."
"As long as it can be mass produced, it will be easy. We can imitate their output conditions, design more specialized production equipment, and allocate more energy for mass production."
"It's embarrassing to say that up to now we have only been operating and tinkering with Colossus Dungeon. If we want to imitate it, especially the heat-absorbing furnace that is the core, it is far beyond our capabilities."
"Everything can be learned. If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Our top priority now is not to innovate, but to understand it thoroughly and find a way to make the entire iron ore fully operational. This is our primary goal."
The weight of the Supreme Shanatar's treasure house is far heavier than everyone imagined.
Among them, there are more than 300 sets of giant-sized armors, and twelve of them are extremely rare giant full-body armors, eight meters high, draped on a life-size stone giant statue, looking like a steel golem.
Not to mention being extraordinary, even if the sword of a medium-sized legendary warrior slashes at them, it will be difficult to break through the defense - to this extent, it doesn't matter the quality, but purely uses the quantity to suppress people.
There are more various large and super-large weapons, up to a thousand pieces, mainly swinging sticks and axes and hammers. Those who can use such weapons usually do not have too high sensitivity and focus on physical strength. Definitely take the path of defeating ten guilds with one force.
These giant equipment were quite messy and of very different quality. It was obvious at a glance that they were not made by one person, or even the same race.
They were all trophies captured by the dwarves of the Supreme Shanatar Kingdom. There was no one in their clan who could use them, and the equipment they forged themselves was superior to these equipment and was not worth remaking and recycling resources.
In theory, it can equip those giant slaves, but it is impossible to give them too much trust.
Therefore, their greatest value is to throw them into the treasure house to demonstrate their own strength and remember their glorious history.
This can be seen from where they are placed.
Twelve giant statues wearing full body armor of giants, just like the twelve guards guarding here, are very visually impactful.
Some of the more sophisticated armors and weapons are not placed randomly, but are placed in special transparent glass boxes, and the display is very rich.
If these giant equipment are of various brands, then the dwarf stainless steel heavy armor in the rows of exhibition cabinets inside is standard equipment. Many of the sizes and shapes are exactly the same. At a glance, you can tell that they were carefully forged on the assembly line.
Don’t equate it with inferior quality just by hearing about assembly line.
What really determines whether a product is of high quality or of poor quality is mainly the material. Even for those legendary forgers, the possibility of using inferior materials to forge excellent products is very slim.
If you pay attention to the materials used, even if it is produced on an assembly line, it will easily be a high-quality product.
The product of the dwarves of the Supreme Shanatar is undoubtedly the latter.
The materials used for these dwarf stainless steel heavy armors are absolutely impeccable. They are all high-quality stainless steel produced in the Dungeon of the Colossus and hammered out with thousands of steam hammers. The dwarves have a strong style - thick, simple, and reliable.
These dwarf stainless steel heavy armors are a complete set, not only including boots, armor, helmets, and arm guards, but also equipped with a dwarf heavy shield, a dwarf mace, and five dwarf throwing axes.
There are many small boutiques that sparkle with magic aura, at least +1 or +2 magic equipment.
There are two thousand sets of such equipment.
In other words, as long as Gavin has two thousand adult dwarves who have undergone basic military training, he can immediately organize a two thousand dwarf heavy armored infantry regiment.
It doesn't matter even if there are no dwarves. As long as those spellcasters who are proficient in making can use spells to help adjust, these equipment can be adjusted to a size suitable for any medium-sized humanoid creature, whether it is a human or a hobgoblin.
For these two thousand sets of equipment alone, the market price starts at 20 million, which is only high but not low.
With such a large number of heavy equipment, even King Jihalin couldn't help but feel jealous.
In terms of quantity alone, the equipment arsenal accumulated by their Iron Clan for three centuries was inferior.
Various dwarf scale armor, dwarf chain armor, dwarf weapons and other scattered parts were piled up in boxes. After opening, they still exuded an oily sheen, as if they had just been maintained.
These pieces of equipment are enough to arm another three thousand people to the teeth.
Although there are many of them, their value is far lower than the previous two thousand sets of dwarf heavy armor, and the market price is also over ten million.
The most important thing is that such a large amount of weapons and equipment is often priceless.
Gavin had previously negotiated an equipment deal with King Jiharin, and he was only prepared to raise tens of millions to arm a three thousand-man army with various spare parts as his main force.
As a result, the dwarves of Supreme Shanatar left a gift package of 30 million to their descendants, and now they are all benefiting from it.
