From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

The sailboat sailed on the sea, heading towards the west coast.

On the west coast of the Tidal Sea, three hundred kilometers away, there is a volcano called the Lava Crown.

The volcano is shaped like a crown, with lava flowing out of it, forming a lava river on the ridge.

This is the territory of the Bronze Furnace Tribe, a branch of the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Lu Heng and his party came from the sea, traveled for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

The Bronzefurnace Tribe established three cities and a port in the area around Lava Crown, developing the tribe into a kingdom.

Among the three cities, the most prosperous is their main city, Lava Crown.

Five days ago, the Dark Iron Dwarves rescued by the Recruiters had returned to Lava Crown, and news of Captain Friggs' "sacrifice" had already spread throughout the kingdom.

For Dark Iron dwarves, being caught by the vicious Kraken is equal to death.

Therefore, when Friggs returned to Molten Crown, many Dark Iron dwarves were surprised.

The crew members of the Freeship rushed over after hearing the news, crying around Frigus.

With Frigus's introduction, Lu Heng and his team's status as conscripts were quickly recognized by the Dark Iron Dwarves.

This group of bad-tempered dwarves are hot-tempered and stubborn at the same time.

Hearing that Lu Heng had rescued Friggs, a large group of black iron dwarves dragged Lu Heng and his party to their party, where they sang, danced and drank around the campfire.

Friggs was so drunk that he poured a glass of strong liquor on his feet and roasted them on the bonfire.

His legs were swollen after being soaked in sea water for several days, and he wanted to put his feet directly into the fire.

As a result, he got too close, and the wine poured on his feet caught fire, and a flame of red on the outside and blue on the inside ignited on his feet.

If it were a human being, it would definitely be panicking at this time.

Friggs, on the other hand, was enjoying the heat of the alcohol flame as if nothing had happened.

The temperature of the flame caused by alcohol burning will not be too high at the beginning during the alcohol evaporation stage.

Coupled with the natural flame resistance of the Dark Iron Dwarves, even if they are burned, it is not a big problem.

Frigus instead enjoyed the heat and wanted to dry out his swollen feet.

After the bonfire party, Friggs returned home, packed up his collection of jewelry and other valuable items, brought them over and stuffed them into Lu Heng's hands.

"Thank you for rescuing me. I'll give these to you."

Lu Heng took a look and saw that they were all jewelry, gold, and silverware. They must be valuable, but bringing these things back to Blue Star would not be enough to consume a fraction of the divine energy.

"No, I don't need these jewels. You just need to take me to see your king."

"No problem, I will take you to see our king tomorrow." Friggs agreed without thinking.

…

the next day.

News of Friggs' narrow escape from the Kraken clan spread throughout the dwarf kingdom.

So the current dwarf king Soriviel Copperfurnace also wanted to see Frigus. When Frigus brought Lu Heng and his party to the Lava Crown Palace, he was taken in by the guards.

We walked all the way through the majestic buildings of Lava Crown and arrived at the Governor's Hall, where we met the dwarf king Soriviel Copperfurnace.

Thorivel Bronzeforge is the third dwarf king after the Bronzeforge tribe established their kingdom in Molten Crown, and is also the grandson of Emperor Thorendal.

Thorivel Copperfurnace inherited his grandfather's strong body and was very tall among the dwarves. He measured nearly 1.4 meters tall, which was more than half a head taller than other members of his race.

Seeing Friggs come in, Soriwell Copperfurnace got down from his seat, walked up and patted his arms, praising: "Great, our warriors are back. Tell me, you are How to defeat the Kraken."

Friggs looked embarrassed because he didn't escape after defeating the Siren.

Since yesterday, rumors about his triumphant return after "defeating" the Siren have spread throughout the kingdom.

He could only smile awkwardly and wanted to explain: "Your Majesty, I..."

He didn't know what to say, so he had to turn his head and look at Lu Heng aside, and said, "It was this conscript who saved me."

The dwarf king Sorivel Copperfurnace looked surprised. He looked up at Lu Heng and asked, "I heard from the guards that you are the conscripts?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied: "Yes, I am a recruiter."

"Did you save Frigus?"

"To be precise, after I talked with Sona, the high priest of the Kraken Tribe, she agreed to release Captain Friggs."

When the dwarf king Sorivel Copperfurnace heard this answer, he frowned and asked, "What is the conspiracy of the Sirens?"

Lu Heng sighed, explained the process of the matter, and expressed his willingness to help the Black Iron Dwarves and the Siren Clan reconcile.

After hearing this, the Dwarf King Sorivel Copperfurnace immediately waved his hands angrily: "Impossible! The sea monster attacked our ship. It is impossible for me to reconcile with this hateful underwater monster."

Lu Heng didn't bother to persuade slowly, and directly told the story about Gross Ember: "The Gross Ember poured into the tidal sea has melted the submarine glaciers, and the seawater temperature in the nearby sea continues to rise.

"I don't know how many embers of Groth were poured into the tidal sea, but even the temperature of the sea water has increased. This method cannot prevent the resurrection of Groth the Fire Demon."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the dwarf king Sorivel Copperfurnace and the great wizard Hogre next to him changed drastically at the same time.

Even in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom, not many people know the secret of Groth's Ember.

"How do you know?" Sorivel Copperfurnace asked in surprise.

"Let me be frank. My mission is to help the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens reconcile and investigate the reasons for the revival of the Fire Demon Gros. If you hope that the crisis of the Fire Demon Gros can be resolved, follow my advice. If you feel that you don't need help, that's fine, I'll leave." Lu Heng directly stated his attitude.

Among the main tasks of this recruitment, only the first task is related to the Dark Iron Dwarves, which is to protect the Dark Iron Dwarves on the Free.

This task has been completed.

In other words, the remaining main tasks have nothing to do with the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Only the third challenge task is left, which requires helping the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens reconcile.

And the challenge task does not need to be completed compulsorily.

In other words, it is best to help them reconcile, but if time is not enough, you can choose to give up.

If this dwarf king Sorevil Copper Furnace is smart enough, he should know what choice to make.

If he still chooses to continue to be hostile to the Sirens, there is no need to waste time here.

If the ruler of a kingdom does not even have the ability to see the situation clearly, it is a waste of time to help.

The hostility between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens will not bring any positive benefits.

The Sirens will not go ashore, and the Dark Iron Dwarves will not go into the sea to fight the Sirens.

If the two tribes continue to be hostile, the result will be continuous small conflicts, and the Dark Iron Dwarves will lose the right to go to sea.

Lu Heng then added: "In addition, if the Dark Iron tribe agrees to reconcile, I will persuade the Sirens to find a solution to the crisis of the Fire Demon Gross together."

The Dwarf King Sorevil Copperfurnace fell into deep thought and did not agree immediately.

Because reconciliation with the Sirens is not his own business, but the business of the entire Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

He needs to consider a lot of things, not just a casual agreement, he also has to consider the feelings of his tribe.

Seeing him thinking, Lu Heng gave him a good evaluation in his heart.

Thinking means not being too stupid.

So, Lu Heng took out the badge of Quenching Castle: "There is one more thing. I am here on behalf of Quenching Castle. The Lord of Quenching Castle, Master Forge Gulu, asked me to say hello to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom."

When Sorewell Copper Furnace heard the word Quenching Castle, he was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Are you from Quenching Castle?"

"Yes, Master Gulu of Quenching Castle and I are close friends. Master Gulu hopes to have the opportunity to meet with his kind in the future." Lu Heng nodded and answered.

"Where is Quenching Castle?" Sorewell Copper Furnace hurriedly asked.

"In the overlapping space of the Abyss World and the Human World, it is temporarily safe, but I don't know how long it can last." Lu Heng answered.

The legend of Quenching Castle is very old for the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Therefore, Sorewell Copper Furnace could not immediately believe Lu Heng's words, but turned to look at the great wizard Hogre beside him.

The old wizard was obviously more familiar with the ancient legend of the Dark Iron Dwarves.

The Great Wizard Hogre of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom was not as strong as the Dwarf King. He wore a wizard robe, held a staff, had a long beard, and his eyes were full of wisdom.

The Great Wizard Hogre walked down the steps, came to Lu Heng, and asked: "You said you were from Quenching Castle. In addition to this badge, do you have any other evidence?"

Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade and showed it to the two: "This is the work of Master Gollum. I think you should have seen the forging craftsmanship of the Dark Iron Dwarves."

The Dwarf King Sorewell Copper Furnace and the Great Wizard Hogre saw the sword and showed surprise at the same time: "This is... a magic weapon!"

There are also forging masters in the Copper Furnace Kingdom, who can also forge high-level weapons and equipment, but the forging materials of the Purgatory Dragon level are not easily obtained.

Therefore, even in the Copper Furnace Kingdom, the number of magic weapons like the Aurora Blade is very rare, and each one is a national treasure.

"It is indeed the forging technology of our Black Iron tribe, but this can only prove that this sword was made by the forging master of the Black Iron Dwarves, and it cannot prove that you are from the Quenching Castle. It may also be that you robbed it from somewhere else." The great wizard Hogre was very cautious and questioned again.

Lu Heng spread his hands and asked back: "Then how do you think you can prove the relationship between me and the Quenching Castle?"

The great wizard Hogre pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and asked: "I will take you to the Ancestral Hall and try to get in touch with the Quenching Castle. Do you dare to go?"

Lu Heng frowned and asked: "What method can I use to contact the Quenching Castle?"

Hogre waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, I will naturally have a way."

Lu Heng nodded and agreed: "Okay, but what if I can't get in touch?"

Hogre pondered for a moment and said: "Then there is no way to prove what you said, we need to be cautious."

Because Lu Heng and his party came from the Siren's territory, he needed to be vigilant to prevent Lu Heng and his party from being spies sent by the Siren.

For the other Dark Iron Dwarves, since Lu Heng rescued Friggs, they instinctively regarded Lu Heng and his group as friends.

However, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom needs someone to stay alert, and the Great Wizard Hogre is the one who stays alert.

"Then give it a try." Lu Heng was not sure if he could do it.

If, as he said, he had a way to contact the Quenching Castle, many things would be simple.

...

Led by the Great Wizard Hogre and the Dwarf King Sorewell Copperfurnace, the group left the Government Hall and headed for the Ancestor Hall.

The Ancestral Hall is a place where ancestors are worshipped in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

This Ancestral Hall was originally expected to be magnificent. In the middle of the Ancestral Hall stands a ten-meter-high statue, which is the first dwarf king of the Copper Furnace Kingdom, Emperor Sorendar.

The group first paid homage to the statue of Emperor Sorendar.

Then the great wizard Hogre walked to the center of an altar in the Ancestral Hall, took out a crystal core, held it in his palm, and said: "Put the Tempering Fort badge on the altar stone platform."

Lu Heng thought about it and felt that there should be no problem, so he took out the Tempering Fort badge and put it on the stone platform.

The great wizard Hogre began to chant the spell to awaken the soul of the ancestors and search for the location of the Tempering Fort through the Tempering Fort badge.

This process took a long time.

Ten minutes passed, and nothing happened.

Twenty minutes passed, and there was no change.

Half an hour passed, and still nothing happened.

Everyone present looked at each other and began to doubt the ceremony.

However, the great wizard Hogre was still chanting spells, with no intention of stopping, so everyone could only continue to wait patiently.

After an hour, Lu Heng was a little impatient, and even began to doubt whether the great wizard of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom had the ability to contact the Quenching Castle.

After all, the Quenching Castle was hiding in the overlapping space of the Abyss World and the Human World, and it belonged to a different space from the Dragon Sleep World. It was unimaginable how difficult it would be to get in touch.

Just when everyone lost confidence.

The great wizard Hogre suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he shouted, raised his staff and pointed forward.

A stream of magic energy shot out, stirring up a magic light curtain in front.

An image gradually appeared in the light curtain, and then a rough voice came out.

"What's going on?"

This voice was exactly that of Master Guru.

When Lu Heng heard this voice, he quickly said, "Master, it's me. I'm in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom now."

The voice of Gulu in surprise came from the magic light curtain immediately: "Lu Heng, is that you? I was wondering why this bronze mirror was glowing. Did you really find our Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom?"

Lu Heng quickly replied, "Yes, I established the kingdom in the Copper Furnace Tribe. It is located in the Lava Crown of the Dragon Sleeping World. It was the kingdom's great wizard Hogre who got in touch with the Quenching Castle through the Ancestral Soul.

"I'm not sure how long this conversation will last, so let's get down to business.

"There are two things you need to clarify with the King of the Copper Furnace Tribe. The first is my identity, and the second is that I hope you can persuade the Copper Furnace Kingdom to follow my advice."

When Master Gulu heard these two requests, he agreed without hesitation: "Who is the Dwarf King? From now on, listen to Lu Heng's arrangements, he will help us."
