Dark Shadow Shrine

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 from the surface. It is one of the main settlements of dwarves.

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 lava underground river that leads straight to the fire elemental world. Perfect natural conditions have attracted the world's best dwarf artisans to reside here.

In the No. 1 furnace of Cast Iron Fort, the nearly 300-year-old dwarf holy-level blacksmith Darak Tavor is sweating profusely, forging a small dagger with a meteorite sledgehammer the size of a stone plate in his hand.

"Kuu-kuu-kuu-"

The gigantic hammer head just swung through the air to create gusts of howling hot wind, but the rhythmic and precise hammering made a piece of strange metal the size of a palm gradually reveal the embryonic form of a dagger.

"Dad! Dad!" A rough shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Darak ignored the voice.

It's a pity that the noisy sound came from far to near, and with a rude kick on the door, the door bolt only gave out a half-sounding mournful sound, and it was over.

"Dad—"

The thunderous call sounded in the ear of the dwarf master, and this time, Dallak could no longer ignore the voice.

"Bastard!" Dallak struck angrily, hitting his face with a hammer.

If it was a human adventurer of the golden rank who was hit by the hammer, the hammer would definitely splatter his brains and die completely.

But it was Dalark's son Edik Tavor, the 218-year-old legendary warrior of the dwarves, who was hammered. Coupled with the characteristic of Moradin's heirs that all dwarves have-the bone of rock, such an amazing hammer blow only dealt ordinary damage.

Well, Edick had a nosebleed.

"Edik! Do you know what you did? Didn't I tell you a thousand times that it's not important to bother me when I'm building things? Moradin, you just ruined a gold tier Dagger!" Dallak's fiery temper made him kick his son's ass, kicking the legendary warrior to the ground.

Ping-pong-pong did not know how many things were knocked over.

"But Dad, you've been building things all day long!" The dwarf's tradition of respecting the elders made Edik feel a little aggrieved. Didn't get angry or anything.

Darak's big bald head is full of veins! He was very upset, his carefully braided, gravel-like fiery red beard was all blown out of anger, and he raised the dagger in his hand high, and shouted angrily: "I don't care! Give me one I can Convincing reasons, or I'll stick this trash on your ass!"

"Dad, there is a big business that you must take over!" Edick was excited.

"Fart! Moradin, the dwarves are free! There is no business that must be accepted!" Dallak continued to growl.

"Ah! Dad. You are so right. This is the direct oracle of Lord Moradin. That distinguished guest was personally received by the senior priest of Kafra."

"Ah!" The dwarf blacksmith was really shocked.

In dwarven mythology. In the beginning of creation, it was Moradin who created the dwarves. His children have bones cut from bedrock, souls forged from steel, hearts carved from diamond. The subsequent dwarves were all created in the likeness of Moradin's children.

The word 'Moradin' has the supreme and lofty meaning among the dwarves.

It turned out that Moradin personally issued the oracle! ?

What is the origin of that distinguished guest?

What did the other party ask him to build in Dalark?

Dallak was suddenly not angry at all, and was full of curiosity about what was about to happen.

On the other side, in the reception room attached to Furnace No. 1, a luxuriously dressed young man with short blond hair fell into extreme anger.

"What? What are you talking about? Master Dallak is suddenly out of time? 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 it was a fact.

The female dwarf opposite him was not at all overwhelmed by his background. While fiddling with her braided braided reddish brown hair, she replied lightly: "Prince Gaos, I am very clear that you are now the first heir to the Erwin Empire. But I have the obligation to remind you that three years ago Master Lak just announced that he will be free to accept the commission after three years, and whoever produces better materials, and the things he wants to create are more precious and challenging, the master will accept the commission."

Gaosi hesitated, but immediately became even more angry: "Yes, you told me three years ago. The master is free today after three years. I have waited for three years. This is an indisputable fact! Tell me, still Who can come up with better materials than me!"

Prince Gaos waved his hand. His own followers took several boxes and opened them. The materials inside are enough to make most of the casting masters in the world go crazy with envy, almost dazzled the eyes of the female dwarves.

"One hundred kilograms of meteorite iron. Five kilograms of morning star sand, the soul core of the evil elder fire element... These materials are enough to create a rare and legendary long sword! Tell me, why Master Dalark still rejects me! Even Even the entrusted auction has been cancelled!" If the female dwarf didn't look too dirty, no one would have doubted that Prince Gauss would grab her by the collar and spit on her in the next second.

There are other things that the prince did not say.

For this day, the prince did not hesitate to use the forces behind him to drive away almost all potential competitors. The political chips and the exchange of benefits paid behind the scenes are enough to make a king of a kingdom sweat coldly.

Now the legendary weapon that I have been dreaming about for so many years is suddenly cut off halfway, so it's no wonder Prince Gaos didn't go crazy.

Dwarves are stubborn guys like rocks. If you treat them badly, they will naturally not treat you well. At this moment, the female dwarf's mind is full of fantasies, whether to use a hammer to smash the face of the little white-faced prince into meat paste, or to cut open that sharp mouth with a dagger, which one is more emotional?

Facing the confrontational silence of the female dwarf, the prince could do nothing.

Suddenly, one of his guards stepped forward. 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 were full of a cold light of choice: "Let's go!"

A large number of the prince's guards followed immediately.

Led by the guards leading the way, the prince and his party found the rightful owner after a few turns.

The moment he saw the other party, Prince Gauss was taken aback for a moment, because he found that he was accompanied by Kafra, the high-ranking priest of Moradin, the king of the dwarf gods.

Even though there was only one female guard beside the visitor, the horrifying aura and unique weapon made it easy for the prince to tell that this female guard was a legendary sword master.

The background of the other party may not be small.

Prince Gauss, who was still furious just a moment ago, put away his scowl in an instant, and showed a gentle smile instead. Salute gently.

"Sorry to bother you, are you the one who asked Master Dallak to forge weapons?" Gauss's appearance was completely flawless.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.

Even though Lei Wen already knew the whole story through listening, Lei Wen still pretended not to know: "Yes, I am."

"Hi! I'm Gaos, the first crown prince of the Elvin Empire. Nice to meet you. May I ask your name..."

"Raven."

Prince Gaos was startled: Raven? The Raven who stole the limelight recently? Poor Cyric. And that Raven whom Lord Ben admired so much?

The prince quickly affirmed his judgment. Everything fits right in, young, half-elf, that extremely conspicuous set of white dragon leather armor. Then, behind him should be Sainz, the strongest female sword saint under the command of the Phantom Goddess.

Taking a deep breath, the prince quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Raven, are you the one who told 'Dark Sun' to get out of God's Domain?" The prince appropriately revealed his hatred for Cyric and his 'surprise' at meeting Raven.

"Yes. It's me." Lei Wen's plain answer made the prince almost explode. Think about it, the prince, as the first heir to the Irwin Empire, one of the seven human empires, has already spoken to Lei Wen in such a condescending tone, but Lei Wen is still indifferent, how can the prince I can stand it.

Finally, the boss of his family was accidentally killed by Tinos. As the second prince, Gaos finally became the crown prince. He was admired and envied by others. Now that Raven is so indifferent, it has already touched Gaosi's reverse scale. If it weren't for the scruples behind Lei Wen, there are two active goddesses. I'm afraid Gaos has ordered his men to clean up Raven on the spot.

However, Gaos endured it. He had vaguely heard of it because of Cyric. Raven's relationship with the dwarven god-king Moradin quickly warmed up. At this point, Gaos was almost mad with jealousy. With Moradin's approval, anyone can walk sideways in the dwarven kingdom.

This relationship, no matter how expensive it is, Prince Gaos is willing to exchange for it.

However, there are many things the prince can't envy. Seeing Lei Wen's arrogant face with his nostrils upturned, the prince knew that if he continued to talk, he would only be making fun of himself.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Lei Wen. I happen to be in a hurry. I hope to have a chance to chat with you in the future." The prince bowed slightly as a signal, and he raised his leg and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Raven suddenly stopped him.

"etc."

"oh?"

"Your address was wrong just now. You should call me 'Your Highness' instead of 'Your Excellency'." While speaking, Lei Wen put a brand new holy emblem on the left breastplate.

When Prince Gaos saw it, his eyes were straightened. He couldn't believe his eyes, that holy emblem impressively represented—a divinely appointed earl!

Unlike the god-given baron, the title of god-given earl is definitely super rare. It will only be awarded to mortals who have made outstanding contributions to God's Domain. The conditions for obtaining this title are also extremely harsh: one must be nominated by at least one powerful deity, and then jointly recommended by two deities, and finally be approved by three deities including another powerful deity. can be issued.

A person with the title of baron bestowed by God can directly enjoy the treatment of a prince in any empire, at least on an equal footing with the king of a kingdom.

Therefore, even the emperor must respectfully address Lei Wen as "Your Highness".

Knowing that this was Lei Wen's humiliation to him, Prince Gaos still gritted his teeth and let out a cry: "See Your Highness Lei Wen."

"Well, very good, you can go." Raven sent the prince away like a beggar. (to be continued ~^~)
