Cast Iron Castle is located deep in the Cast Iron Mountains in the east of Ultron continent. The nearest city entrance is 1,200 meters away from the surface. It is one of the main settlements of dwarves.↑Novel,
The cast iron castle was originally built next to a huge high-quality iron ore vein, and not far from the city there is a legendary huge underground river of lava that leads straight to the elemental world of fire. The perfect innate conditions attracted the best dwarf craftsmen in the world.
Stay here forever.
In Forge No. 1 Furnace, the nearly 300-year-old dwarf saint-level blacksmith master Darak Tavo was sweating profusely while forging a small dagger with a giant meteorite iron hammer the size of a stone plate in his hand.
"哐哐哐"
The huge hammer head stirred up bursts of howling hot wind just by swinging it through the air, but the precise hammering with great rhythm and rhythm gradually revealed the embryonic shape of a dagger from a piece of strange metal the size of a palm.
"Dad! Dad!" A rough shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Darak ignored the voice.
Unfortunately, this noisy sound came from far away, and with a rough kick on the door, the door bolt only let out an overwhelmed wail for half a minute and then it was over.
"Dad"
A thunderous call sounded in the ears of the dwarf master, and this time, Darak could no longer ignore the voice.
"Bastard!" Darak struck with anger and hit him in the face with a hammer.
If the person who was hit by the hammer was a gold-level human adventurer, his brains would definitely be splattered when the hammer hit him, and he would be completely dead.
But the one who received the hammer was Darak's son Edik Tavor, a 218-year-old legendary dwarf warrior. He was also possessed by the dwarfs of Moradin's descendants' characteristic rock bones. Such an astonishing hammer blow only resulted in the damage of an ordinary person.
harm.
Well, Adik had a little nosebleed.
"Adik! Do you know what you did? Didn't I tell you ten thousand times that when I am building something, it is not very important and you should not disturb me? Moradin, you just destroyed a gold-level weapon for me.
Dagger!" Darak's fiery temper led him to kick his son in the butt, kicking the legendary warrior to a pulp.
I don’t know how many things were knocked over by ping ping ping pong.
"But dad, you are building things all day long!" The dwarves' tradition of extremely respecting their elders made Edik just a little aggrieved. He did not get angry or anything.
Darak's bald head was full of veins! He was very unhappy, and his carefully woven, gravel-like fiery red beard all blew up with anger. He raised the dagger embryo in his hand high and shouted angrily.
: "I don't care! Give me a reason I can convince. Otherwise I will stick this piece of trash in your ass!"
"Dad, there is a big business that you must take over!" Edik said excitedly.
"Fart! By the name of Moradin, the dwarves are free! There is no business that must be accepted!" Darak continued to roar.
"Ah! Dad, you are really right. This is a direct oracle from God Moradin. The distinguished guest was personally brought here by the senior priest of Khafre."
"Ah!" The dwarf blacksmith master was really shocked.
In the dwarf mythology, at the beginning of creation, it was Moradin who created the dwarves. His descendants have bones cut from the rock bed, souls forged from steel, and hearts carved from diamonds. And the dwarves after that have
They were all modeled after the descendants of Moradin.
The three words "Moradin" have the supreme and noble meaning among the dwarves.
It was Moradin who issued the oracle himself!?
Who is that distinguished guest?
What did the other party want Darak to build?
Darak suddenly wasn't angry at all, and was full of curiosity about what was about to happen.
On the other side, in the reception room attached to the No. 1 furnace, a young man with short blond hair in luxurious clothes fell into extreme anger.
"What? What did you say? Master Darak is suddenly unavailable? Three years! I made an appointment three years ago! Do you know who I am? How dare you break the appointment!?" The young man's handsome face was filled with anger.
Twisted, he couldn't believe this was a fact.
The female dwarf opposite him was not at all intimidated by his background. While fiddling with her brown and reddish braided hair, she replied calmly: "Prince Gaos, I know very well that you are now the number one in the Mosha Empire.
Heir. But I have an obligation to remind you. Three years ago, Master Dalak only announced that he would be free to accept the commission of building in three years. At that time, whoever produces better materials and the things he builds are more precious and more challenging, the master will
Whose commission do you accept?"
Gaos hesitated, but then became even more angry: "Yes, you told me three years ago that the master will be free today in three years. I have been waiting for three years. This is an indisputable fact! Tell me, still
Who can produce better materials than me!"
Prince Gaos waved his hand, and his entourage picked up several boxes and opened them. The materials inside were enough to make most forging masters in the world go crazy with envy, which almost dazzled the eyes of the female dwarf.
"One hundred kilograms of meteorite iron, five kilograms of morning star sand, the soul core of the evil fire element elder... these materials are enough to create a rare legendary long sword! Tell me, why Master Darak still rejects me! Even
Even the entrusted auction has been cancelled!" If the female dwarf hadn't looked too dirty, others would have no doubt that Prince Gaos would grab her collar in the next second and spray her with saliva.
There are still some things that the prince did not say.
For this day, the prince did not hesitate to use the power behind him to drive away almost all potential competitors. The political chips and interest exchanges behind him were enough to make the king of a kingdom shed a cold sweat.
Now that the legendary weapon that he had dreamed of for who knows how many years was suddenly cut off halfway, it would be strange if Prince Gaos didn't go crazy.
Dwarves are as stubborn as stones. If you treat the dwarf badly, the dwarf will naturally not treat you well. At this moment, the female dwarf's mind is full of fantasies, and she is using a hammer to smash the face of the white-faced prince into pulp.
Which one is more interesting, or cutting that bitter mouth open with a dagger?
Faced with the confrontational silence of the female dwarf, the prince had nothing to do.
Suddenly, one of his guards came forward and whispered a few words to the prince.
"What!? That guy actually has the guts to appear in front of me!?" The prince's blue eyes glowed with a cold light that chooses and devours others: "Let's go!"
The prince's large number of bodyguards immediately followed him.
Under the guidance of the guards who led the way, the prince and his party found the real owner after a few turns.
The moment he saw the other party, Prince Gaos was stunned for a moment, because he found that accompanying him was Khafla, the high-ranking priest of Moradin, the King of the Dwarf Gods.
Even though there was only one female guard beside the visitor, the terrifying aura and unique weapons made it easy for the prince to tell that this female guard was a legendary sword master.
The other party's background may not be small.
Prince Gaos, who was furious just a moment ago, instantly put away his angry expression, and instead showed a gentle smile, and gave a gentle salute.
"Sorry to bother you, are you the one who asked Master Darak to forge weapons?" Gaos's appearance was completely flawless.
Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.
Even though Raven had already heard the whole story through listening, Raven still pretended not to know: "Yes. I am."
"Hello! I am Gaos, the first crown prince of the Mosha Empire. Nice to meet you. What is your name..."
"Raven."
Prince Gaos was suddenly shocked: Raven? The Raven who has been in the limelight recently? The Raven who tricked Cyric and made Lord Benn admire him so much?
The prince quickly confirmed his judgment, and everything was correct. He was young, half-elf, and wore an extremely conspicuous white dragon leather armor. Then, the person following him should be Sion, the strongest female swordsman under the Phantom Goddess.
That's it.
Taking a deep breath, the prince quickly adjusted his emotions.
"Raven, are you the Raven who told Dark Sun to get out of the divine realm?" The prince appropriately revealed his hatred for Cyric and his "surprise" at meeting Raven.
"Yes, that's me." Raven's flat answer made the prince almost furious. Think about it, as the first heir to the Mosha Empire, one of the seven great empires of mankind, the prince had already spoken to him in such a condescending tone.
Raven spoke. Raven still looked indifferent. How could the prince bear it?
After a lot of effort, his boss was accidentally killed by Tinos. As the second prince, Gaos finally became the crown prince. He was respected and envied by everyone. Now that Raven is so cold, Gaos has already touched Gaos's reverse scale.
.If it weren’t for the concern that there were two active goddesses behind Raven, Gaos might have asked his men to take care of Raven on the spot.
However, Gaos endured it. He had vaguely heard that because of Cyric, the relationship between Raven and the dwarf god king Moradin was rapidly heating up. At this point, Gaos was almost crazy with jealousy. With Moradin
With the approval, anyone can walk sideways in the dwarf kingdom.
For this relationship, no matter how high the cost, Prince Gaos would be willing to exchange it for it.
However, there were many things that the prince could not envy. Seeing Raven's arrogant face with his nostrils in the air, the prince knew that continuing to talk would only bring trouble to himself.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Raven. I happen to have something urgent to do. I hope to have a chance to chat with you slowly in the future." The prince bowed slightly to signal, raised his legs and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Raven suddenly stopped him.
"etc."
"oh?"
"Your title was wrong just now. You should call me 'Your Highness' instead of 'Your Excellency'." As he said this, Raven put a brand new Holy Emblem on his left chest armor.
Prince Gaos was stunned when he saw it. He couldn't believe his eyes. The holy emblem clearly represented the divinely appointed earl!
Different from the divine baron, the title of divine earl is absolutely super rare. It will only be awarded to mortals who have made outstanding contributions to the divine domain. The conditions for obtaining this title are also extremely demanding: you must be nominated by at least one powerful god, and then be nominated by
The two gods jointly recommended it and finally received the nod of approval from three gods, including another powerful god, before it could be awarded.
Those who hold the title of divinely-ordained baron can directly enjoy prince-level treatment in whichever empire they get, at least on an equal footing with the king of a kingdom.
Therefore, even the emperor must address Raven as "Your Highness".
Knowing clearly that this was Raven's humiliation to him, Prince Gaos still gritted his teeth and squeaked: "See His Highness Raven."
"Very good, you can go." Raven sent the prince away like a beggar. (To be continued.)
