Chapter 345 Cutting Through the Extraordinary Hearing Casey's suddenly changed question, Dick was taken aback.
He glanced at the sword on the table and replied:
"This was the sword of one of the soldiers here. I killed him and took the sword."
"Let me see!" Cathy said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Dick handed over the sword.
Kathy took the sword, stared at it for a long time, and then nodded vigorously:
"There's no mistake, this sword was forged from a unique type of iron ore from the highlands!"
Dick had heard of the exotic iron ore on the Lines Plateau before.
The instructors at the knight school said it was the best iron ore.
Weapons forged from exotic iron ore can dramatically enhance a warrior's strength.
But Dick, who had previously dismissed this view, now has to re-examine it.
The fact that this sword could easily break through Dick's Dragon Technique shows that the alien iron ore is indeed amazing.
Kathy continued, "This is a longsword forged purely from exotic iron ore."
Dick thought this was nonsense: "Isn't this normal?"
"You don't understand!" Casey said. "Even a piece of iron ore has a very low iron content. So most iron weapons are actually mixed iron weapons. Iron is not only scarce, but its purification also requires technology."
Dick was unaware of this: "Could it be that processing exotic iron is not an easy task?"
"Easy?" Kathy scoffed. "Hmph! Even the Zorc family knows what the bottom line is! Gulvig has opened up the export of alien iron, but strictly prohibits the technology from leaking out. In other words, only the Highlands can still forge high-purity alien iron weapons!"
Upon hearing this, Dick looked at the sword again and suddenly felt somewhat incredulous.
"What makes this iron weapon so powerful?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Well—I don't know either," Duke Casey said, "but it can easily kill monsters!"
Monsters, corrupted beings, creatures infected by the power of decay.
Since the navigator opened up the new continent and brought the green-eyed people to the kingdom, the number of monster incidents on this continent has increased more than tenfold.
So the navigator really deserves to die; he brought disaster.
For this reason, Dick often hears people asking for help from the Lyons Plateau to resolve monster incidents.
The Lyons Plateau is renowned for its expertise in dealing with monsters; perhaps this skill also stems from the exotic iron ore.
Dick organized his thoughts.
Could the decaying power of monsters be Dick's Dragon Secret Technique...?
A different kind of iron ore, capable of cutting through the extraordinary?!
Just as Dick was in shock, Casey suddenly said:
"Got it!"
Dick asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"A way to break this deadlock!" Casey exclaimed. "Didn't you just say explosives?!"
"Yes, but I don't have that potion right now, and alchemical potions are extremely rare. I've heard there are workshops in the Far East that order alchemical potions, but the kingdom has never really valued alchemy."
“There are nobles in the highlands too,” Kathy said, “so you can find alchemical potions there as well.”
Upon hearing this, Dick understood what Casey meant:
"You want to ask your supporters for help?"
"That's right."
Dick said, "Duke Casey, although I was the one who suggested the explosive agent, I also think that this plan is not feasible. You are not sure if your supporters have prepared the alchemical agent."
"No—" Casey smiled calmly, "What I need you to borrow isn't an alchemy potion, but moonstones!"
I think I've heard of Moonstone-Dick, but I can't quite place it right now.
This stuff is definitely not as famous as exotic iron ore.
Dick asked, "What's that?"
"It's also a type of mineral, but it can emit light and be used as a lighting tool," Casey said. "But it also has a little-known function: under certain conditions, moonstone can explode!"
Hearing Casey's confident statement, Dick shouldn't doubt the effects of the moonstone.
But the question remains: "Where should I look for moonstones?"
“Naturally, it’s Moonstone Fortress,” Casey said. “And the Zeman family of Moonstone Fortress is my supporter. Just tell me your situation, and they will do everything they can to help you.”
Hearing this, Dick had no choice:
"I understand, Duke Casey, I will go to Moonstone Castle."
Just then, Harriet interjected:
"I've been there before, I can show you the way."
Hearing this, Dick looked at Casey:
"Duke Cassius, are you planning to go?"
Kathy shook her head: "It's too dangerous for me. I think any man my age would be under close surveillance by the people of the plateau."
"In that case—" Dick looked at Harriet, "Miss, please stay this time. Duke Casey needs your protection."
Harriet said nothing more, but nodded.
Dick continued, "Peggy too."
At this point, Peggy shuddered, then suddenly stood up:
"Why!"
"Peggy," Dick said seriously, "it's dangerous, I can't take you."
"I want to go!"
Dick had to say, "You'll hold me back, and then I'll be in a very passive position."
"Then one of us will die."
“You don’t have to die with me, Peggy. I’m just a vassal of House Peyton,” Dick said sternly. “Besides, I won’t allow you to die.”
"No!" Peggy shouted, "No! I'm going with you!"
"Many people might let you be willful, but I will not allow it now," Dick said coldly. "Even if I have to tie you up, I will make you stay."
Peggy started crying again and punched and kicked Dick, but perhaps seeing the wounds on Dick's body, she quickly stopped.
She ran off upstairs.
Let her be.
Dick looked at Casey again.
The plan has been decided, but there are still many things to be done:
"So what are your plans? Go back to the library first?"
Kathy shook her head: "This tower must be guarded, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain. Once the Zorc family sends people again, they will not only reinforce this place, but also send more and stronger people."
But Dick worried, "There are only a few of you!"
"As the old saying goes, a lame old woman is worth twenty elite soldiers when defending a city wall. We are not old women, and we also have Harriet with us."
So it can defend against an army of a hundred men!
Inside the tower, there was plenty of food and arrows!
But there are still many things to deal with.
The body needs to be destroyed, the bloodstains under the tower need to be cleaned up, and more importantly, the tower gate must be reinforced, preferably completely blocked!
Until Dick brought the moonstone and blew it open!
Dick dug a pit and buried all the bodies, while Harriet was responsible for cleaning up the bloodstains.
He then used a cart inside the tower to collect batches of stones, intending to block the tower entrance.
This process took several days.
Right now, there's only a small opening left at the doorway, which only Cathy and Peggy can crawl in and out of. They'll have to block it up as needed.
Dick was ready to leave.
Peggy said to him, "Liar! Why do you always lie to me!"
Dick had no rebuttal.
Do you like lying to me? Do you hate me?
"So, do you still stand by your promise to me?"
"What did I promise you?"
"Ah!" Peggy suddenly shrieked, "Look, you don't even remember!"
However, Peggy didn't dwell on it too much, but patiently said:
"You promised me, I wouldn't let you die, so you can't die!"
Dick recalled, "I never agreed to that."
"I promised!"
"no."
"have!"
"no."
Peggy started screaming again, her voice almost crying.
Finally, she said, looking aggrieved:
"Then—can you say yes now?"
"Hmm—" This young lady is really willful. "Alright, Peggy."
"real?"
"A true knight must keep his oath!"
Peggy smiled; it was the first time Dick had ever seen Peggy smile so brightly.
"It's a deal then!"
"Um.

Dick nodded and prepared to set off:
"Alright, Peggy, let's go back into the tower. I have to go."
"Um,
Peggy responded, but didn't move an inch.
He simply looked up and stared intently at Dick.
Her eyes sparkled, drifting with the clouds in the sky.
Suddenly, she lunged forward and hugged Dick.
Was Dick scared?
"I won't let you die! Do you hear me, Dick!"
Peggy's voice, muffled in Dick's arms, said, "I'll wait for you to come back—"
