From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

In the heritage of the Dark Iron Dwarves, the status of the Tempering Fort is second only to the Ancestral Temple.

After the advent of the abyss, the Dark Iron Dwarves migrated many times to avoid the pollution of the abyss, and many of their heritages have been lost.

The Ancestral Temple is already a holy place that the Dark Iron Dwarves can never return to, and can only appear in their dreams.

Similarly, before Lu Heng mentioned the Tempering Fort, for the Dark Iron Dwarves, the Tempering Fort was already a legendary holy place that no longer existed.

Now, the Tempering Fort has appeared again, and the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom has made contact with the Tempering Fort.

This means that the Dark Iron Dwarves have found the holy place in their dreams.

It is conceivable how excited the Dark Iron Dwarves present were.

So much so that when Gollum spoke in a tone similar to an order, the Dwarf King Sorevil Copperfurnace did not feel anything wrong.

Sorevil Copperfurnace hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with the highest etiquette of the Dark Iron Dwarves, saying: "I am the third king of the Copperfurnace Kingdom, Sorevil Copperfurnace."

Gulu observed and nodded, commenting: "Looks very strong, a good material for ironmaking."

If this sentence was said to a human, it might be regarded as a mockery.

But for the Dark Iron Dwarves, forging is the most important skill, and it is a high evaluation to say that a Dark Iron Dwarf has a talent for forging.

Gulu continued: "Lu Heng is the closest friend of the Quenching Castle. He entered the Abyss World to help our tribe revive, so you must listen to Lu Heng's orders. This is also the will of the Quenching Castle."

The Dark Iron Dwarves present immediately bowed their heads and saluted, and agreed devoutly: "Yes, Master."

Seeing that this group of Dark Iron Dwarves were so pious, Lu Heng found that the effect of moving out of the Quenching Castle was far better than expected, and much better.

This meeting spanned different worlds and consumed a huge amount of magic energy, so after such a long conversation, the connection began to fluctuate.

Seeing this, the great wizard Hogre hurriedly said: "My clan's great forging master, can we get in touch regularly in the future?"

"Yes." Gulu answered as a matter of course.

In fact, when Gulu was brought to Quenching Castle by his teacher, there were not many Dark Iron Dwarves in Quenching Castle.

Therefore, Gulu did not receive systematic learning. He only mastered the skills of forging and quenching. As for the knowledge of witchcraft and magic, he did not know much.

There are quite a few Dark Iron Dwarf heritages left in Quenching Castle. He has also seen some, but no one has taught them systematically, so he only has some understanding.

He knows nothing about how to communicate across the world.

Of course, this is not a problem.

Since the great wizard Hogre can connect once, he can connect a second time, and after remembering the world coordinates, it will be much easier to connect.

With Gollum's permission, Hogre hurriedly said: "Master, please set a time, we will communicate regularly, the tribe needs the inheritance of Quenching Castle."

"Okay, I have forging work on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and I have time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you can pick a day." Gollum agreed very straightforwardly.

Now there are many human forgers, quenchers, and inscriptionists entering Quenching Castle, and the forging days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday every week.

So Gollum has to stay in the forging room for these three days.

Because the time of the two worlds is different, it is necessary to calculate the exact time.

Hogre will take care of the time calculation, just agree on the time.

...

After meeting Gollum, Lu Heng and his party became the most distinguished guests of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

With this relationship, the next conversation is simple.

After discussion, the Dwarf King Sorewell Copperfurnace agreed to all of Lu Heng's requirements.

The first requirement is to reconcile with the Sirens and agree not to dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea.

Since the demands of the Sirens were not excessive, the peace talks between the two sides were not difficult.

At the same time, Sorewell Copperfurnace expressed his concerns about the Fire Demon Gros.

Not being able to dump the embers of Gros into the tidal sea means that the Dark Iron Dwarves have to face the crisis of the resurrection of the Fire Demon Gros alone.

Although the Sirens promised to find a way to solve the crisis of the Fire Demon Gros, the resurrection of the Fire Demon Gros will not pose too much threat to the Sirens.

Therefore, everyone knows that it is impossible to put hope on the Sirens.

If the Dark Iron Dwarves want to solve the crisis of the Fire Demon Gros, they must do it themselves.

Lu Heng made a promise that if this conscription cannot solve the crisis of the Fire Demon Gros, after returning, he will announce the information of the Fire Demon Gros to the superpowers in the human world, and unite all the human superpowers who will be conscripted in the future to solve this problem together.

The crisis of the Fire Demon Gros will not appear immediately, nor can it be solved overnight.

This is a problem that takes time to solve slowly.

Sorewell Copperfurnace naturally understood this. They had been dumping the embers of Gros into the Tidal Sea for ten years.

During these ten years, the breath of the revival of the Fire Demon Gros became stronger and stronger, but it would take some time before he could truly revive.

…

This trip to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom went very smoothly. The reconciliation was negotiated, and the main purpose of this trip was achieved.

Afterwards, the great wizard Hogre of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom personally led the team to the west coast of the Tidal Sea to negotiate with the envoys sent by the Siren Clan.

Although both parties have agreed to reconcile, the specific terms of reconciliation still need to be discussed.

Lu Heng would not interfere with the two sides' demands for reconciliation. As long as the two sides could negotiate, the matter would be basically successful.

Lu Heng still had some things to do in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

The first thing was to see where the Dark Iron Dwarves dug the embers of Gros.

If other recruits wanted to see the burial place of the embers of Gros, they would be driven away by the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Lu Heng had the support of the Quenching Castle. In a sense, he participated in the affairs of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom on behalf of Gollum.

Therefore, the Dwarf King Sorevil Copperfurnace personally led Lu Heng into the mine under the Lava Crown.

The four members of Lu Heng's team entered the mine, passed through the passage full of restrictions, and came to a spacious underground space.

As soon as they stepped into this space, they could immediately feel the heat coming.

Even though Lu Heng's Quenching Master's secondary profession provided high fire resistance, he still felt hot.

Su Muyu and Xie Shien on the side did not have the fire resistance provided by the secondary profession, and their brows were frowned.

Xie Shien quickly opened up the mental force field to resist the heat wave for the four people.

The Dark Iron Dwarves didn't feel much about the heat wave, after all, high-level Dark Iron Dwarf warriors could roll in the magma.

After resisting the heat wave, Lu Heng had the energy to check the space here.

In this underground space, there are traces of knife and axe everywhere. Obviously, the Dark Iron Dwarves have been digging here for many years.

The rocks here are very solid, and there are a small amount of dark red ash in the rocks, as if they will burn at any time.

Sorewell Copper Furnace explained: "This is the area with the densest embers of Gros. If you ignite here, it will ignite a raging flame and produce flame spirits."

The existence of the Flame Demon can split into a large number of small Flame Demons.

A powerful demon king like the Flame Demon Gros will form tens of thousands of Flame Spirits after splitting.

Flame Demons can split, and naturally they can also regroup.

That's why the Dark Iron Dwarves transported the embers of Gros to the tidal sea to dump them. The purpose was to separate the embers of Gros and increase the difficulty of the gathering of the Fire Demon Gros. At the same time, they also hoped that the glaciers in the deep sea could suppress the resurrection of the Fire Demon.

Lu Heng squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of Gros embers, felt the heat radiating from the soil, and pondered.

Before rebirth, the Fire Demon Gros was revived two years after the abyss descended on Blue Star.

Due to the different time flow rates of the two worlds, the Fire Demon Gros should be officially revived five years later in this world.

After that, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom was forced to flee the Lava Crown and was displaced again.

Until the rebirth, there was no news that the Fire Demon Gros was conquered by the Conscript.

The best way to save the Dark Iron Dwarves is to prevent the Fire Demon Gros from resurrecting.

If you wait until the Fire Demon Gros returns to the world, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.

Sorewell Copper Furnace asked worriedly: "Mr. Lu Heng, have you thought of a way to solve the Balrog crisis?"

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and replied: "Not yet. However, I checked the embers of Gros here and estimated that the Balrog will revive in four or five years, so we still have time."

The great wizard Hogre also estimated the approximate time when the Balrog will revive.

The estimated time will not be very accurate, but it is certain that it will not be fully revived within three years.

Three years is not long, but not short.

The Dark Iron Dwarves still have time, but time will become more and more urgent.

Lu Heng continued: "I haven't found a way yet, but I will find a way. If I really can't find a way, I will try to seek help from the ancient tree of knowledge of the elves, and I will definitely find a way to solve the Balrog crisis."

When Sorewell Copper Furnace heard that he could seek help from the ancient tree of knowledge, he had more hope in his heart: "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Lu Heng."

After seeing the embers of Gros underground, the group came out of the mine.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the Lava Crown, he saw the great wizard Hogrey returning with a bloody messenger.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Hogrey reported angrily: "King, the Siren Tribe cannot be trusted. We were attacked by Siren at the seaside!"

"What?" Sorevil Copper Furnace showed a surprised expression on his face and turned to look at Lu Heng beside him.

Lu Heng also looked surprised.

The rulers of both sides had been persuaded before. The dwarf king Sorevil Copper Furnace and the Siren Tribe High Priest Sona both agreed to reconcile. This matter should have been resolved.

Both parties also agreed to send messengers to negotiate. They only needed to simply exchange reconciliation demands, and the matter would be completed.

Lu Heng did not expect such a change to happen, and asked: "Are you sure it was the Siren who attacked you?"

The great wizard Hogre was furious and replied: "Of course I am sure. We just arrived at the beach and waited for a while, and the Siren came out of the water. We went forward and wanted to communicate, but the other party said nothing and raised the harpoon to launch a surprise attack.

"We finally escaped back. The Siren is too despicable. Mr. Lu Heng, you must have been deceived by the Siren!"

If other recruits took the lead in mediating the conflict between the two tribes, they would have been captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves and thrown into the dungeon by now.

After all, the Dark Iron Dwarf envoy brought by the great wizard was attacked by the Siren, which led to the failure of this peace talk.

According to normal logic, Lu Heng, the recruit who took the lead in mediation, would definitely be suspected.

Fortunately, Lu Heng has the relationship with the Quenching Fort. The Dark Iron Dwarves will not suspect Lu Heng no matter who they suspect, and instinctively think that Lu Heng was deceived by the Siren.

After listening to this, Sorevil Copper Furnace clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "Damn Siren!"

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Normally, even if they did not intend to reconcile, the Siren tribe should not attack the envoys who were negotiating.

Doing so would only intensify the conflict between the two tribes.

If one of the parties was a barbaric race, this might happen.

However, Lu Heng had contact with the Siren tribe's high priest Sona, although it was only a short two days, it was enough.

The Siren tribe's high priest Sona was willing to release Friggs despite the doubts of her tribe members, which was enough to show that she really wanted to resolve the conflict between the two tribes.

Moreover, the Siren tribe would not gain any benefits by being enemies with the Dark Iron Dwarves.

And the Dark Iron Dwarves had agreed to reconcile and would no longer dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea, which was what the Siren tribe needed most.

Whether from the motive or the interests, the Siren tribe had no reason to disrupt the peace talks.

This was illogical.

Su Muyu and Xie Shien both considered this and reminded Lu Heng: "There may be something behind this."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, then looked at the dwarf king Soreville Copper Furnace and said: "I think this matter needs to be investigated. Whether it is the action of the Siren Clan or not, we should make a decision after we find out clearly."

Soreville Copper Furnace was very angry when he saw the injured tribe members who escaped back. If someone else had advised him like this, he would definitely not listen.

But thinking of the order of the Lord of Quenching Castle, he could only hold back his anger and asked: "How does Mr. Lu want to investigate?"

Lu Heng took the initiative to take this work: "I will go in person. I am the leader of this matter. The Siren Clan suddenly turned against me, and I am also responsible. I am responsible for finding out the cause of this matter and seeking justice for the Black Iron Clan."

Soreville Copper Furnace saw that Lu Heng did not shirk his responsibility, and his anger was slightly reduced. He agreed: "Okay, then let Mr. Lu investigate this matter. If the Siren Clan really went back on its word, my Black Iron Clan will fight the Siren Clan to the death."

...

That afternoon.

Lu Heng led the team to the seaside to see where the attack took place.

On the way, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Things are a bit strange. Didn't the high priest of the Siren tribe agree to reconcile? Why did they suddenly attack the envoys of the Dark Iron Dwarves for negotiations?"

"We don't know the reason yet. I feel that even if it was really done by the Siren tribe, it should not be the order of their high priest." Lu Heng recalled his contact with the high priest Sona, and he could see that she was really considering the future of the Siren tribe.

"But Hogre clearly said that it was the Siren tribe, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Indeed, most of the people who took action were Siren. As for other races pretending to be Siren, there is a possibility, but it is not great."

When saying this, Lu Heng opened the information interface of the Abyss Battlefield and confirmed the battlefield mode.

This battlefield mode is [Multi-camp Melee Mode].

This is a very complex mode. In a word, the forces in this world are very chaotic, and there are at least three or more camps fighting in a melee.

Lu Heng knew from the beginning that this mode would be tricky, but he hadn't encountered a melee before, so he didn't mention it.

Now it seems that this model may have worked.

Multiple factions are easy to understand. The Dark Iron Dwarves are one faction, and the Siren Clan is another faction.

Human Conscripts also belong to one faction in this world.

And the first challenge task requires killing 20 Abyss Conscripts.

That is to say, in this world, there are still Abyss races conscripted by the Abyss.

There are already four factions. If there are disagreements between the Siren Clan and the Dark Iron Dwarves, it will be even more chaotic.
