Chapter 3: The True Value of the Sword of Fire
Coming out of the house where Arya was resting, Finn and the gray-skinned bearded dwarf walked out of the doorway, where a thin layer of snow had been laid on the ground in the courtyard of the noble manor, and several servants in the manor saw the two of them, and immediately put down their work and stood up and kowtowed to them, and then continued their work.

Finn walked around the manor after the gray-skinned, bearded dwarf. From time to time, he looked at the dwarf's rock-like body, and then looked back at his back, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see not only the hilt of the moonlight greatsword, but also an unsheathed spiral longsword behind his shoulder.
The iron-gray spiral sword was carried behind him along with the Moonlight Greatsword, and the sword's attributes were almost identical to the ones he had seen in the pure white room of the Ancient Ruins a week ago - of course, the reason why I said "almost" was because the spiral sword called the Sword of Furnace Fire had an enchantment that would have covered some of the equipment attributes a week ago.
As the enchantment was consumed when it destroyed the Obsidian Codex, the full stat data of the Sword of the Hearth was then presented to Finn's eyes as the following information-
【Sword of Fire】
Medium Sword/Magic Item/Immortal Contract
Equipment requirements: 13 Strength
Requirements: 20 Perception, or 20 Intelligence, or 20 Charisma, or Dwarf
1~6 Physical Damage
+25 magic resistance (fire only)
Never break
Passive: Physical Attacks deal 12 fire magic damage.
Passive: If the strength is greater than the sum of the required values of the two weapons, the other hand can equip the other weapon with one hand without penalty.
Use: Establish a contract.
- Praise the flame.
After the effect of the enchantment was removed, the restored equipment information of the Hearthfire Sword told Fein that its purpose was not just to be used as a high-quality magic weapon, but that its true value was that it was actually a Heroic Soul Pact.
As for the Immortal Contract, Finn didn't need someone to introduce him to it, and he knew the preciousness of this kind of thing.
So, after returning to Scorpion Valley from the ancient ruins at the foot of Elbak Volcano, and then returning to Orlan from the inn of Scorpion Valley and temporarily staying in the Lord Manor of the Alfred family, he found that although he was not a dwarf, his attribute value highly enhanced by his natural ability had already met the restrictions on using equipment to establish a contract, and he did not hesitate to use this sword that was said to have been wielded on the battlefield by the Dwarven King of the Third Age.
As the contract was completed, the gray-skinned, bearded dwarf appeared in front of Finn in the form of a flame from his sword, telling him that his name was Hoff, that he was the core Immortal spirit of the Immortal Pact established by Finn, and that he was once a guard soldier beside the dwarven king Vladin Hearthfire, and that he would henceforth be loyal to Finn, who was recognized by the Hearthfire Sword.
Obtaining a Heroic Spirit Contract is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult to successfully establish a contract with a Heroic Spirit and be recognized by the Immortal.
The secrets of the ancient ruins where the obsidian code was buried had not been completely solved, and Finn still didn't know why there was a black domain made of the power of the law outside the pure white room in the deepest part of the ruins, and why the pure white room contained the obsidian code and the sword of fire that was the contract of the Heroic Spirits.
However, although some things have not yet been clarified, the convenience provided by the Hearthfire Sword for Finn at this time is real.
With the Blade of Fire's Immortal Contract, Finn will be able to receive more assistance from the world of the Immortal Soul by paying more XP to strengthen the contract, which is roughly equivalent to indirectly owning an army of summons that can grow and grow.
With his own private army, Finn officially had the ability to intervene in wars rather than skirmishes. Although the Obsidian Codex's accident was a pity, the acquisition of the Hearth's Sword was a surprise for him, and this unexpected surprise would greatly speed up the progress of his plan to try to get in touch and cooperate with the nobles of the ruling class of the Violet Kingdom.
"However, speaking of the dwarven guards around Vladin Hearth......"
Recalling the first time the dwarven Heroic Hoff appeared from the spiral sword and knocked on him, Finn walked behind Hoff, the impression of a dwarven army in his mind, and immediately called out to the dwarves walking in front of him: "Wait a minute, Hoff. ”
"What are your commands?" Hough stood on his feet and turned to look at Finn.
"You said you were a soldier of the guard by King Vladin's side." Finn immediately asked him, "So, you were a member of the Plateau Guard before you became a Heroic Spirit?" ”
"Yes." The gray-skinned dwarf named Hoff nodded in acknowledgement.
Receiving an affirmative answer from Hough's mouth, Fein said indeed.
He also remembered that the dwarven army called the [Plateau Guard] was historically the royal court of the dwarven king Vladin Hearthfire, and he also remembered the scene he saw when he skillfully let his consciousness enter the contract world, which was a snow-covered plateau, and on top of the plateau stood a huge abandoned palace, which was very similar to the dwarven palace painted in the official original CG of "Ferdia".
If Hove, who is the core of the Covenant, was a member of the Plateau Guard, then this scene in the Covenant World barely makes sense.
Of course, the Pact of the Immortal can provide the person who signed the contract with an army of Immortal soldiers, but it naturally has its own set of rules for how it operates.
Just like the human towns and coastal plains that Arroyo saw in the Covenant World through the [Ring of Thorn Vine], the contract that Finn established through the [Sword of Fire] is related to the dwarves, so what he sees in the Covenant World is a cold plateau covered in ice and snow forever, and the ruins of the royal palace on the plateau and several small dwarven settlements clustered around the ruins of the royal palace.
Because of the game system, when Finn overlooks the world of the contract from a bird's-eye view, he can see a lot of idle land on the plateau below. When he points out his finger in the sky and touches on one of the vacant lots, a translucent banner with various stripped-down architectural motifs will open before his eyes, suggesting that he can pay a few XP points to build different contract buildings on those vacant lots.
For example, the Barracks can open the first step for players to recruit Immortal Soldiers from the Contract World, the Blacksmith Shop can optimize the equipment quality of Immortal Soldiers, and the Training Ground can improve the tactical literacy of Immortal Soldiers, but each Contract Building must require players who sign the Immortal Contract to pay enough experience points before it can be built.
In the world of the Immortal Contract, the [Tavern] is the basic building in each contract world, and the player who signs the contract can recruit more core Heroic Spirits from the [Tavern] to lead the Immortal army after introducing their own consciousness into the contract world, and the building level of the [Tavern] can continue to increase by paying experience points, and the higher the building level, the more additional core Heroic Spirits can be recruited.
The current [Tavern] level of the Sword of the Hearth is only the initial level 1, and the core Heroic Spirit that can be recruited by Finn is limited to 1, and this slot has been occupied by Hoff from the beginning.
Of course, if the player is not satisfied with the core Heroes that have been recruited, they can kick them out and pay experience points again to recruit new Core Heroes from the Tavern, but the only thing to note is that the Core Spirits in the Tavern are only refreshed once a day at midnight, and the number of cores that can be refreshed every day is limited.
However, Finn was not at all dissatisfied with the current Hove, so he had no intention of kicking him out, so after asking about Hove's past background, he asked Hove to continue to lead him along a road in the manor in the direction of the library.
At the library in the Lord's Manor, owned by the Alfred family, Lilith was still there waiting for him to come over. (To be continued.) )
