Chapter 152: Cutting off the beard (three watches)
Cast Iron Castle, located deep in the Cast Iron Mountains to the east of the Ultron continent, the nearest city entrance is 1,200 meters above the surface, and is one of the main settlements of the dwarves.
The Cast Iron Fort was originally built next to a huge vein of high-quality iron ore, and not far from the city there is a huge lava underground river that is said to lead straight to the fire elemental realm. The perfect innate conditions attract the best dwarven craftsmen in the world to reside here.
In the No. 1 furnace of the Cast Iron Castle, the nearly 300-year-old dwarven saint-level blacksmith Darac Tavo is sweating and forging a small dagger with a meteoric iron hammer the size of a stone plate in his hand.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
The huge hammer head stirred up gusts of hot air just by slashing through the air, but the rhythm and rhythm of the precise hammer blow caused a strange piece of metal the size of a palm to gradually reveal the embryo shape of a dagger.
"Dad! Dad! Suddenly, there was a rough shout outside the door.
Dalak ignored the voice.
Unfortunately, the noise came from far and near, and with a rude kick to the door, the deadbolt only let out a half-overwhelmed scream.
"Dad—"
A thunderous call rang in the Dwarven Master's ears, and this time, Darac could no longer ignore the voice.
"Bastard!" Dalak struck angrily and slammed a hammer into his face.
If it was a gold-level human adventurer who was hit by the hammer, this hammer would definitely be a brain splash and he would die completely.
But the hammer was Darak's son Eddick Tavo, a 218-year-old dwarven legendary warrior, and with the characteristics of Moradin's heirs that dwarves have, the Rock Bone, such an astonishing hammer blow only smashed ordinary damage.
Well, Eddick had a bit of a nosebleed.
"Eddic! Do you know what you did? Didn't I tell you 10,000 times that it wasn't important for me not to bother me when I was building things? Moradin is on top, you just ruined me with a gold-tier dagger! Darak's fiery temper caused him to make up for his son's ass, kicking the legendary warrior to the ground.
Ping Pong doesn't know how many things he knocked over.
"But Dad, you've been building things all day long!" The dwarves' tradition of showing great respect for their elders made Eddick only a little aggrieved. Didn't get angry or anything.
Dalak's big bald head is covered with green tendons! He was upset, his well-knit, gravel-red beard blowing up with rage, and he raised the dagger embryo in his hand and cried out angrily, "I don't care! Give me a reason I can convince. Or I'm going to stab this piece of waste in your ass!" ”
"Dad, there's a big business you have to take over!" Eddick was excited.
"Fart! Moradin is on top, and the dwarves are free! Nothing is a must-take business! Dalak continued to growl.
"Ahh Dad, you're right. This is the direct oracle of the god Moradin. The guest was personally brought in by Senior Pastor Kafra. ”
"Ahh The Dwarven Forgemaster was really shocked.
Dwarven mythology, at the beginning of creation. It was Moradin who created the dwarves. His offspring have bones cut out of rock beds, souls forged from steel, and hearts carved out of diamonds. The dwarves that followed were modeled after Moradin's heirs.
The word 'Moradin' has a supreme and sublime meaning among the dwarves.
It turned out that Moladin personally issued the oracle!?
What is the origin of that distinguished guest?
What did the other party want him to build?
Dalak suddenly stopped being angry at all, and was curious about what was about to happen.
On the other side, in the reception room attached to Furnace No. 1, a richly dressed young man with short blond hair was in a state of extreme rage.
"What? What did you say? Master Dalak is suddenly out of time? Three years! I made an appointment three years ago! Do you know who I am? How dare you show up!? The young man's handsome face was contorted with anger, and he couldn't believe it was a fact.
The female dwarf opposite him was not in the slightest deterred by his origin, and while fiddling with her brown and reddish braided hair, she replied lightly: "Prince Gaos, I know very well that you are now the first in line to the throne of the Mosha Empire. But I am obliged to remind you. Three years ago, Master Dalak only announced that he would be free to accept the commission in three years, and whoever produced the better materials and asked him to create something more precious and challenging, the master would accept the commission. ”
Gao was stunned for a moment, but then became even more angry: "Yes, you told me three years ago that the master is free today after three years. I've been waiting for three years, that's an indisputable fact! Tell me, who else can come up with better material than me! ”
Prince Gaos waved his hand, and his retinue picked up a few boxes and opened them. The material inside was enough to make most of the world's master foundry envy mad, almost dazzling the eyes of the female dwarf.
"One hundred kilograms of Meteorite Iron. Five kilograms of sands of the morning star, the soul core of the evil Fire Elemental Elder...... These materials are enough to make a rare legendary sword! Tell me why Master Dalak is still rejecting me! Even the consignment auction has been canceled! If it weren't for the fact that the dwarf looked too dirty, there was no doubt that Prince Gaos would pull her collar in the next second. Squirt her hard while salivaing.
There was something else, 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 bargaining chips and exchange of interests paid behind it are enough to make the king of a kingdom sweat for it.
Now that he has dreamed of a legendary weapon for I don't know how many years, it was suddenly intercepted halfway, and it is no wonder that Prince Gaos is not crazy.
Dwarves are stubborn as rocks. If you treat dwarves badly, dwarves will naturally not treat you well. At this moment, the female dwarf's mind is full of fantasies, whether to smash the little white-faced prince's face into meat sauce with a hammer, or to cut the sour mouth with a dagger, which one is a little more sensitive?
Faced with the adversarial silence of the female dwarf, the prince was helpless.
Suddenly, one of his guards stepped forward and whispered a few words to the prince.
"What!? That guy even had the audacity to appear in front of me!? The prince's blue eyes bloomed with a cold glow of choosing someone to devour: "Go!" ”
The prince's large number of guards immediately followed.
Led by the guards who led the way, the prince and his party found the main owner after a few turns.
The moment he saw the other party, Prince Gaos was slightly stunned, because he found that he was accompanied by Kafra, the high-ranking priest of Moradin, the king of the dwarven gods.
Even though there was only one female guard by his side, the terrifying aura and unique weapon made it easy for the prince to tell that this female guard was a Legendary Swordmaster.
The other party's origins may not be small.
Prince Gaos, who was still angry a moment ago, suddenly put away his anger and turned to a gentle smile. Give gentle.
"Sorry to interrupt, are you the one who asked Master Dahlak to forge weapons?" There was nothing to fault with in Gaos's appearance.
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.
Even though Raven had already heard and known the whole story, Raven still pretended not to know: "Yes." I am. ”
"Hello! I am the first crown prince of the Mosha Empire, it is a pleasure to meet you, may I ask your Excellency to be ......"
"Raven."
Prince Gaos was taken aback: Raven? That Raven who has been in the limelight lately? The Raven who made Shirek miserable and made Baane admire immensely?
The prince quickly affirmed his judgment, and everything was right. Young, half-elf, that extremely conspicuous set of white dragon leather armor. Then, he should be followed by 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 Raven who let the 'Dark Sun' get out of the Divine Domain?" The prince rightly reveals his hatred for Ciric and his 'surprise' at meeting Raven.
"Yes, that's me." Raven's bland answer made the prince almost angry. Come to think of it, the prince, as the first heir to the Mosha Empire, one of the seven great empires of mankind, has already spoken to Raven in such a condescending tone. Raven still looks like he is ignoring it, how can the prince stand it.
Finally, the boss of his own family was accidentally killed by Tinos, and Gaos, who was the second prince, finally became the crown prince, and he was not revered and envied by others. Now that Raven is so cold, he has already touched the scales of Gaos. If it weren't for the fact that there were two active goddesses behind Raven, I'm afraid that Gao Os would have asked his subordinates to clean up Raven on the spot.
However, Gaos endured. He had vaguely heard that because of Ciric's relationship, Raven's relationship with the dwarven god king Moradin quickly warmed up. At this point, Gao was mad with jealousy. With Moradin's approval, anyone can walk sideways in the Dwarven realm.
This relationship, no matter how big the cost, Prince Gaos is willing to exchange it for it.
However. There are many things that the prince cannot envy. Seeing Raven's arrogant nostrils, the prince knew that it would only be boring for him to continue talking.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Raven, I happen to be in a bit of a hurry, and I hope to have a chance to talk to you slowly in the future." The prince bowed slightly. Raise your legs and get ready to go.
Who knew that Raven suddenly stopped him.
"Wait."
"Oh?"
"You were the wrong one. You should call me 'Your Highness', not 'Your Excellency'. As he spoke, Raven put a brand new emblem on his left chest armor.
When Prince Gaos saw it, his eyes straightened. He couldn't believe his eyes, that holy emblem stood out - the Earl of God!
Unlike the Divinity Baron, the title of Divinely Earl is definitely 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: at least one powerful god must be nominated, and then two gods must be jointly promoted, and finally three gods, including another powerful god, can nod and approve before it can be awarded.
Those who have the title of God-bestowed baron can directly enjoy the treatment of princes in any empire, and they are equal to the kings of at least one kingdom.
Therefore, even the emperor must be honored by Raven as "Your Highness".
Knowing that this was Raven's humiliation to him, Prince Gaos gritted his teeth and squeaked: "See His Royal Highness Raven." ”
"Very well, you can go." Raven sent the prince away like a beggar. (To be continued.) )
