The Exiled Royal Architect Develops An Island With Magic Construction Equipment And Fluffy Animals - CH 58

We got the ore for the magic black stone. Next, we’ll refine it using the magic reverberatory furnace.

”Let me just say, the ore for the magic black stone is weak to fire. Not heat, but purely fire.” (Jay)

Jay said that. I also knew that. If it was weak against heat, it wouldn’t survive in this mountain where magma keeps flowing. That’s why it’s not weak to heat itself, but rather that it combusts easily. And it also reacts when merely in the presence of a flame.

”My father tried various things. He even tried putting it in a container so that it wouldn’t touch the fire. But it was useless. Just being close to fire would carbonise it, making it completely wasted.” (Jay)

The magic black stone doesn’t even need to be in contact with the fire. If it’s just a normal fire, even if you put it inside a container, it’ll burn up inside it.

”How the h**l are you going to do metallurgy on that kind of thing?” (Jay)

Jay asked doubtfully. Even the dwarves would call this hopeless, huh. Certainly, if I think about it, this mineral would be the bane of the dwarves.

This work won’t go smoothly if you don’t change the way you think.

”Ordinary flames won’t work. But a magic reverberatory furnace can generate a magic flame.” (Wirk)

”A magic flame?” (Jay)

”Well, you’ll see.” (Wirk)

I activate the magic reverberatory furnace in front of the dwarves.

”Wh-, what the-! The flames are pale blue!”

”This is a magic flame. This magic reverberatory furnace is made of Mancrete. When flames react with Mancrete, they change into magic flames.” (Wirk)
