"Responded?" Urs blinked in surprise.

The Hearthfire Crown is an item very similar in nature to the Warbler's Ring, a special magical contract that summons the spirits of a bygone era to the present in the form of summoned creatures, and should be able to rekindle an army of dwarves known as the "Hearthfire Praetorian Guards" if nothing else.

In order to intervene in the inevitable outbreak of the Northland War, Urs needs the power of "military force" rather than "individual" to assist the human side of the Golden Bird Empire against the undead army of the zombie king Erdon, so Koto's words are undoubtedly very good news for him, so good that he is so surprised that he almost doesn't react.

After all, the maximum number of Heroic Spirits that the Warbler Ring can summon is limited due to his own title level, so think about it...... How effective is the Hearthfire Crown in the hands of the Dwarven Prince of the Hearthfire Clan?

Yes - the prince.

Even if he wasn't an official king, his status was higher than that of a slave knight, who had an empty title of nobility, didn't he?

So......

"Great, Your Highness the Prince, congratulations! We knew your crown was going to love you! Bellinglia held the crystal ball in her palm, and for a moment she was very excited and happy about it.

The crystal ball's message was only a sound part, and the little girl couldn't see the picture on the other end through this magic prop for a while, but you can imagine how proud the dwarf prince was when he told the news to his group just now, and then heard the latter's voice reply to herself:

"Haha, thank you for your congratulations, little girl. But...... Uh, what to say? ”

"What, Koto? Didn't you say that the Hearthfire Crown responded to you? Hearing the confidence in the dwarf's tone suddenly weaken, Urs had a premonition that things were not going so well, so he hurriedly asked.

Koto's voice was a little more hesitant than the joy and pride of not long ago, and after a few seconds, he said with some regret, "Well, let's put it that way. Actually, the time when the Hearthfire Crown responded to me was last night, in my dream......"

"Huh?"

"Ah, wait, it's not a dream in that sense!"

"Oh... That's fine, you go ahead. ”

Urs turned his head sharply, and then turned his gaze back to the carriage to look at the road.

Koto's voice paused, and then continued to come out of the crystal ball, explaining his situation to the people in the carriage as clearly as he could, and the response he received from the Hearthfire Crown was roughly a sense of calling, or revelation, and that hazy but incomparably real feeling was known to him in the form of a dream.

In short, it's a dream.

The crown entrusts him with dreams, and in his dreams he meets the heroic warriors who live in the crown. In his dreams, he was in his homeland on the plateau, and the dwarven furnace fort made of iron walls revealed the street scene in the depths of his memory, and the guard square of the clan palace was silently lined up with a phalanx of dwarven legions composed entirely of heavy infantry with full armor and tower shields.

The snow of his hometown covered the plateau of dreams over the helmets of the dwarven warriors who lined up in formation. The prince of the clan came to them in a dream, and saw the leader of the officer meet his gaze through the peep slit in his helmet, but did not salute or speak, but only looked at each other for a moment and then nodded to himself.

Then the bewildered prince awoke from his slumber and found himself asleep with the crown of his clan in his arms, the surface of which was glowing with a slightly hot touch in his arms, and the flame emblem on the iron crown ring was like a burnt ember, and the body was still solid, and the residual warmth remained.

Koto, believing that he had seen in a dream the royal elite known as the Guardians of the Furnace in his clan's history, informed his companions, including Moredi and Zeken, of the incident, and the Gisseres, known as the Blind Prophet, interpreted this as "acceptance" for him.

However, it is only a preliminary "acceptance", not a complete "recognition".

"In other words, your crown has communicated with you, and has ignored you, but it doesn't seem to be entirely willing to use it for you?" After patiently listening to Koto's statement, Urs thought for a moment and made a confirmatory inquiry based on his statement.

"It's very unwilling, but it seems to be the case." Koto's voice was a little annoyed on the other end of the crystal ball, "I'm sorry, Captain, everyone, I ......"

"No apologies, Koto, you didn't do anything wrong." The young man interrupted him, though he felt a little regretful in his heart, and then changed the conversation, "Then again, we already know the three things you reported. Correspondingly, we also got a clue worth noting, about ......"

As he spoke, he turned his head, his gaze froze on the face of Thea beside him for half a second, and then looked at Dorothy.

"Captain... Mr? Miss Warlock sat on the back of the carriage, her sea-blue eyes blinking under her long fiery red hair, and she didn't understand why Urs was staring at her suddenly, but vaguely seemed to guess something.

She suddenly became a little nervous for no reason, and her expression became stiff - but fortunately, Xia read the difficulty in the latter's eyes from the young man's sight for a moment, and then turned her head back to the side, half turned around, and raised her slender white left and right index fingers to the sides of her mouth and gently pulled up, smiling at Miss Warlock, who had weak psychological endurance.

The wolf-eared girl squinted her eyes and smiled a little silly, inadvertently recalling Dorothy's episode during the attack on the Gnoll's cave last night...... Immediately, his face turned red, and he subconsciously turned his head, pretending to brush his hair, thinking about resolving shyness and embarrassment, and unconsciously forgot the tension just now.

Urs is not very good at comforting people, so the thoughtful Xia is often careful to help regulate the atmosphere in the team and the relationship between her companions.

The young man was relieved to see Miss Warlock's reaction, although he didn't understand why she was blushing, but he no longer looked tense, so he silently thanked the wolf-eared girl beside him for always being so understanding, and then sank down, organized his words, and told his companions on the other end of the crystal ball what happened to him in the Gnoll Cave last night.

Among them, especially the words of the magician Raldark, the so-called red-haired man gave him the key information of the Demon Stone Talisman, which was relayed by the young man, it was hard not to make the other team members on either end of the crystal ball except for Bellingis, Abel, and Thoros immediately remember what they had experienced in Twilight—

One night ago, there was a fierce battle in the church a few months ago, the demons of the abyss descending from the sky, two powerful apostles of doom, a red-haired man named Dambert Kirchas, and the secret cult called the Doomsday Cult behind all of this......
