Chapter 190: The Gate of Ashes

"Hehe, you know it's amazing......" Maybe it's because he hasn't spoken to anyone for too long, Moradin was very excited at this time, and after showing off triumphantly, he talked to Lin Lipan with great interest: "By the way, how did you get the Dawn Mark?" ”

"Mark of the Dawn?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little inexplicable: "What is this?" ”

"Hell, you don't have the Mark of the Dawn?" Moradin cursed with a foul word that sounded a little angry: "Then how did you get through the Ash Gate?" ”

"What is the Gate of Ashes...... Lin Li scratched his head, and when he was confused, he suddenly remembered the moment when he passed through the colorful light, the look on his face froze for a moment, and he raised his right hand in disbelief, showing the elemental torrent ring that was flashing with a faint light: "You...... The mark of the dawn you are talking about, is this? ”

"That's right, that's right......" As soon as the Elemental Torrent Ring was revealed, Moradin let out an exclamation, and for a moment he even spoke a little incoherently: "It's really you, the Dawn Mark is really here, God...... I'm saved, I'm finally saved......"

"This thing is important to you?" Lin Li glanced at Moradin very strangely, because he was too excited, the strange hammer was trembling slightly.

"It's so important!" It was a long time before Moradin suddenly said, "Boy, let's make a deal!" ”

"What deal?"

"The Dawn Mark is very important to me, I need to borrow it, rest assured that I won't borrow it in vain, in exchange, I can help you get a powerful piece of magical equipment." Moradin said this, and asked casually: "By the way, you should be a warrior, right?" ”

Lin Li glanced at the Flame Salamander leather armor on his body, and nodded silently: "That's right." ”

"Alright, as long as you're willing to lend me the Dawn Sign, I'll help you get a weapon forged by a black iron dwarf."

"This ......" Lin Li hesitated, not that he refused to borrow it, but the key was that he couldn't figure out what Moradin wanted to do.

Seeing that Lin Li was silent for a long time, Moradin was a little anxious: "Two pieces of magic equipment, one weapon and one armor, this should always work, right?" ”

"You make me think about ......"

Half an hour passed, and Lin Li was still thinking about it.

Moradin couldn't wait: "Hey, have you thought about it?" ”

"Don't worry, this is a big deal, I have to think clearly......" Lin Li really hasn't thought it through, if he changed to before, he probably didn't say a word, and directly lent out the Dawn Mark, anyway, just borrowing, and he couldn't suffer any loss, but in exchange for two pieces of magic equipment forged by the black iron dwarves, such a cost-effective business is not often encountered.

But this time, Lin Li was really a little hesitant.

Today's encounter is really too weird, whether it is the colorful light, or this palace floating in the sky, everything is full of weird atmosphere, so that Lin Li has to be extra cautious when making a choice.

"By the way, Moradin, have you been here for 1,200 years?"

"Well, that's right......" After Moradin finished speaking, he suddenly let out an exclamation: "Wait, what did you just say?" Twelve hundred years, you mean, 1,200 years have passed? ”

"Yes, 1,200 years have passed since the Dark Ages, why, don't you know?"

"Hell...... It's been so long. After muttering and complaining for a while, Moradin asked Lin Li with some curiosity, "Is the war over?" ”

"It's long gone, all the High Elves, including Osric, are finished, and now it's humans who rule the world of Anriel."

"What about the Black Iron Dwarves?"

"There are no Black Iron Dwarves anymore......" Lin Li shook his head, and told Moradin everything he saw from the book: "The Black Iron Dwarves were wiped out at the beginning of the war, and there has not been a living Black Iron Dwarf in the world of Anriel for 1,200 years. ”

"It's strange, wasn't there a group of Black Iron Dwarves who escaped before the magic legion appeared, could it be that they were also ...... by Osric" Moradin's voice sounded like talking to himself.

"This group of black iron dwarves, I'm afraid they haven't escaped from the magic legion either......" Lin Li's words were not said casually.

Everyone knows that the Black Iron Dwarves are born blacksmiths, they have an innate talent for forging, almost every adult Black Iron Dwarf can reach the level of a high-level blacksmith, if they can really escape, how can there be no rumors about them in the world of Anriel for thousands of two hundred years?

After 1,200 years, no matter how bad the talent of this group of black iron dwarves is, there should be dozens of forging masters, right?

Once there are master-level blacksmiths, unless they are isolated from the world for 1,200 years, it is impossible for them to have no rumors at all, just look at the current Oranna, what does the Storm Sword Saint rely on? In addition to his own strong strength, at least more than half of the reason is because he is a master blacksmith.

If there really is such a group of black iron dwarves, how can it be the turn of the Maraton family to be arrogant? I have long been overwhelmed by a large group of forging masters.

"It's weird, I remember they had already fled......"

"Maybe it was found again later......" Lin Li didn't have much interest in the life and death of the black iron dwarf, and he didn't want to continue to entangle, so after casually mentioning it, he pulled the topic to another place.

Perhaps because of his connections, Moradin can be said to be ready to answer questions in conversation, no matter what Lin Li asks, as long as it knows, it can almost give a satisfactory answer.

From the conquest of the Black Iron Dwarves to the establishment of the Eternal Crucible, most of these stories have been read in books, but how can this compare to listening to Moradin himself? That's all from his own experience, and both the details of the story and the degree of truth are far beyond the reach of books.

All kinds of insider stories were told, and Lin Li was dumbfounded when he heard it.

No one knew why Osric became interested in forging, let alone why he had built the Eternal Forge and it all seemed like a farce, and the High Lord suddenly remembered to study the forge, and the tragedy of the Black Iron Dwarves was born...... Harnessing lightning bolts, the Magic Legion conquered the Black Iron Dwarves overnight and took away their millennia artifact, Thor's Hammer.

When he said this, Moradin smiled shamelessly: "Hehe, in fact, I'm nothing, anyway, it's just a holy relic to the Black Iron Dwarves, it's a good thing to follow Osric, at least I can get in touch with more precious magical metals......"

"......" Lin Li rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy had the talent to be a traitor.

In the years that followed, Moradin did come into contact with countless precious magical metals, and with Osric's power and status, he could get his hands on almost any magical metal he wanted, including the blazing magic iron that even Lin Li coveted.

Then came the construction of the Eternal Crucible, and Moradin was with Osric and participated in almost the entire construction process, and today, 1,200 years later, there is probably no one who knows the Eternal Crucible better than him.

Lin Li didn't guess wrong, the Eternal Forge did use the technology of the Sky City, a fire dragon's magic crystal, providing a source of power for the Eternal Forge to operate, the incomparably complex magic patterns crisscrossed each other, they restrain and influence each other, bringing this purest fire magic element to the extreme, the entire Eternal Forge is like a precision machine, even a slight mistake like a hair may make the entire project go to waste.

The technology used in this process has exceeded the limits of manpower, even the amazing Osric could not be able to read the power, in order to build the eternal furnace, he used almost all the manpower and material resources at his disposal, in that short three years, Osric squandered enough money to buy the entire kingdom of Fran today.

"Do you see that corridor up ahead? From there, about ten minutes or so, you will reach the heart of the Eternal Furnace, where there is a real furnace, no flames and no smoke, only the purest fire magic elements, directly provided by the dragon magic crystal, the magic metal smelted with it is almost perfect, and there will never be a trace of impurities. ”

"Look at your side again, there is a showroom there, dedicated to storing Osric's works, to be honest, this bastard is really a genius, the magic equipment he forged, each piece has the level of a master, but it's a pity that he died too early, if he lives for a few more years, he will be a grandmaster blacksmith again."

"So powerful?"

Lin Li was startled, and was about to open the door to take a look, but was stopped by Moradin: "Don't go, you are unlucky, you came too late, as early as 1,200 years ago, these things have been transported by him, including those precious ores, as well as those mountains of gold and silver treasures." ”

"......" Lin Li understood this time.

I still remember when I was in Garros, Grean once told him about it, in his old age, the great lord didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he actually built a huge tomb for himself, at this time, listening to Moradin's mention, Lin Li immediately remembered that most of the things moved from here had been transported to the tomb, and they were buried with valuables, but it was not just a human custom...... "Otherwise, I can give you two." Moradin said as he spoke, finally losing his patience: "Hey, I said have you thought about it?" Whether to borrow the Dawn Mark or not, can you give an answer? I don't treat you badly, two powerful pieces of magic equipment, just in exchange for one use, you have to think clearly, it is forged by the black iron dwarves, miss this opportunity, don't regret it in the future! ”

"It's fine to lend you, but I'm not interested in magical equipment......"

"And what are you interested in?"

Lin Li waited for a long time, waiting for this sentence, only to see him smile, and finally revealed the purpose: "Hehe, I won't tell you, I'm very interested in the fire-type dragon magic crystal you said, if you can get it for me, don't say lend you this Dawn Mark, even if it is given to you......"

"That's not going to work!" Moradin stopped doing it, and rejected Lin Li categorically: "The magic crystal of the fire dragon is not only the power source of the eternal furnace, it also maintains the operation of the entire void world, without it, the void world will collapse immediately, and when the time comes, not only the eternal furnace will disappear, but even you and I may ......."

"What Void World?" Lin Li was stunned when he heard this.

"Hell......" Moradin cursed, his voice a little angry, "Didn't you realize that this is not the original world at all?" ”

"......" Moradin's words finally reminded Lin Li of a possibility, and for a while, he was really frightened and his face turned white, and he swallowed his saliva very hard: "You...... Do you mean that the location of the Eternal Forge is actually within a certain dimension? ”

"Nonsense ......"

"I rely on ......" Lin Li almost didn't go crazy on the spot: "Then how do I get out?" ”

"Hmph, it's up to me!"

"By you?"

"That's right, you lend me the Mark of the Dawn, and I naturally have a way to take you out."

"Really fake ......" Lin Li glanced at it, and there was some suspicion in his eyes.

"Let me tell you the truth, the Mark of the Dawn is equivalent to the key to the Ash Gate, and only by mastering this key can you travel freely between the two worlds, otherwise, you will be burned to ashes by the Ash Gate."

"Ash Gate ......" Hearing this, Lin Li remembered the colorful light again, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale for a while: "The Ash Gate you are talking about, is it a colorful light?" ”

"Have you seen its power?"

"Indeed......" Lin Li nodded, he had indeed seen the power of the Ash Gate, the dignified fifteenth-level demonic beast was turned into ashes in an instant, and this kind of power was at least a legendary-level power.

"It's good to have seen it, you should think about it now, right?"

"Think it through." Lin Li nodded honestly, and then came out with a sentence that almost didn't make Moradin angry: "I decided not to borrow it." ”

"Holy!" Moradin was so angry that he almost didn't jump up: "Damn boy, you dare to entertain this hammer? ”

"You can lie to me for a long time, why can't I entertain you? You're giving me a reason......"

"How did I lie to you?" Although Moradin's tone was tough, there was already a hint of emptiness in his voice.

"How did you lie to me?" Lin Li slowly bent down and took Moradin in his hand again: "That's right, the Dawn Mark is indeed the key to the Ash Gate, but if you borrow the Dawn Mark with me, I'm afraid it's not as simple as trying to pass through the Ash Gate, right?" ”

"I ......"
