Ji Ran and the others temporarily rested in the Iron Furnace Castle, allowing Baker and the others to recuperate...... There's nothing else to do right now anyway.

And Ji Ran, when he had free time, finally finished transforming Ryan's fourth undead creature. As a result, Ryan's four undead cores and summoned undead creatures have greatly improved their strength.

With these four undead creatures, Ryan is finally not dragging his feet...... Not only the local combat power of these four undead creatures themselves, but also many of Ryan's own spells that need to rely on these undead creatures to cast...... This is different from the Elven Ranger, the Elven Ranger still has a strong combat ability without a companion, and the Necromancer who cultivates spells alone without cultivating summoning is too rare.

Regardless of Ryan's own joy of scratching his ears and cheeks over there, Ji Ran himself also began the process of upgrading his magic weapon.

He replaced the materials of the God Slashing Knife with the various materials he had collected in Ironforge. Although it will not allow this magic weapon to be promoted to the level of the gold rank, at least this flying knife can pose a threat to the gold level...... And it's a big threat.

Being hit by this flying knife, no matter where it hits, it will cause a lot of damage to the opponent's soul...... In a battle, the damage directly aimed at the opponent's soul is enough to make or break the outcome!

Because in this world, there are very few ways to attack that can directly hurt the soul of the other party, and no one will go out of their way to guard against this. And this throwing knife is so inconspicuous...... There are very few magic props in this world that have this type of throwing knife.

Thieves and assassins are the only ones who use throwing knives to help them fight...... But using a throwing knife with magical attributes is still too extravagant. If Ji Ran's set of three god-slashing flying knives is used well, it will definitely work wonders in battle.

Except for throwing knives. Ji Ran was finally about to promote Chu Xiaojian to the Golden Rank.

Some more ghosts from Ryan in case of emergency. Ji Ran asked for Domorgan's help in a quiet room. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Ironforge. After all, dwarves also have alchemists, and they don't like to be disturbed when they do their work—and of course, they don't want others to be hurt by mistake.

With all the materials with him, Ji Ran entered the quiet room. No one knew what was going on in the ashram, but when Ji Ran came out of the ashram three days later, he looked extremely tired.

But the look on his face. It's joyful.

"It worked. The first dawn sword has finally become a golden level. ”

Ji Ran only said such a sentence, then returned to the hotel and slept for a day.

During this time, they did not go out lightly - the people who colluded with the True God Order have not yet been found, and now it is slightly dangerous to go out.

Although Rice is a golden rank, the golden rank does not mean a qiē...... In this world, there are still golden ranks that have been killed. For example, Morse, for example, Katz. Although Kaz doesn't seem to be completely dead. But it's only a little bit......

Rice may not have suffered the same thing...... Although the other party probably doesn't have the kind of props that weaken the gold-level powerhouse, they also have gold-level powerhouses!

Take 10,000 steps back. Les can run, but others may not...... For the safety of most people, everyone stays inside Ironforge these days.

Of course, they were not idle. At least these days, they found out who was behind that Dunis.

House of Arekuse.

This family Les is very familiar, and Ji Ran has also heard of it...... It's that Scott's family. Scott had threatened himself with his father, Count Arecuse.

Of course, the head of the House of Arekuse is not yet the Count of Arekuse...... In the Arecuse family, there is also a Marquis of Arecuse...... For an empire, a marquis is already a fairly powerful title. Further up, there are dukes who can establish their own principalities.

Although the power of this Marquis of Arekuse is not as strong as that of the Marquis of Bright of the Bright family, it is also a force to be underestimated in the Ere Empire. This is also the reason why the dwarves cannot interrogate them without evidence...... It's a bit too much of a stretch.

Now the dwarves can only keep a closer eye on them to see if they are connected to the True God Order...... But it can only be in the shadows. After all, it's just Rice's speculation, and it can't be used as evidence.

After Ji Ran finished refining, he had a good rest for a day, and then he appeared in front of the others again in good spirits - this refining made him upgrade again.

The previous series of battles, coupled with the experience gained from refining magic weapons, finally allowed him to rise to another level...... It is also one step closer to the golden level.

Although Ji Ran's current strength growth is already a terrifying speed, his opponent is also gradually escalating. In the past, a high-level assassin of the silver rank could make him flee in a panic, but now, his opponents are often golden...... The strength of the silver rank is still somewhat weaker.

But the peculiar change in swordsmanship has increased his strength by leaps and bounds. He didn't know what the disappearance of the sword level meant before, and in fact, he didn't know it very well now...... But he knew that the current Four Seasons Sword Technique had finally reached the point where it was like an arm.

If he encounters the Golden Rank alone, Ji Ran is confident that even if he can't beat him, he will at least be able to escape...... Of course, the state of armed alchemy is still mostly open.

Ji Ran didn't dare to relax, because he found that there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in this world...... For example, the activities of the True God Order are becoming more and more frequent. It's just them, and it's not once or twice...... And this is not an isolated phenomenon, they have learned from other adventurers that there are also signs of the activities of the True God Order in other parts of the continent. Unlike what they encountered, the activities of the True God Orders elsewhere were mostly successful...... This shows that the Cult of the True God is becoming more and more powerful.

Sooner or later there will be a considerable catastrophe if this organization is made bigger...... And this catastrophe will most likely sweep across the entire continent.

In the past, most of the activities of the True God Cult were on the human side...... Because the vast majority of true God believers are human beings. But now. The Cult of the True God began to extend its reach to the dwarves. The realm of elves and even orcs...... This is definitely not a good sign.

So. Everyone has heightened their vigilance against the activities of the True God Order near Ironforge Castle right now.

However, during this period of time, both Dunis and his party and Harlan who escaped seemed to be dormant. Dunis and his party lived in seclusion, with only a few family spokesmen and dwarves talking about business, and they hardly went out on weekdays. And the True God Order. There seemed to be no movement at all, as if the previous attack was just an illusion on the part of Ji Ran.

In this case, Ji Ran and the others did not plan to leave the Iron Fort immediately. If this matter is not resolved, it is not so safe to leave...... It's better to be here now, if something happens, and there are dwarven friends to help.

Here, it is not very delayed for everyone to improve their strength...... For the time being, Les is still in his own realm - but now he is almost stable. Baker had just advanced to the Silver Rank, and he was immediately seriously injured, and although he was healed now, it would take more time to stabilize his realm...... But it's the same. He will also get more benefits. At least the physical strength will be raised to a higher level again - the so-called Seon lost horse. It's not a blessing.

Needless to say, Alice, Ji Ran didn't see how she deliberately improved. Although she occasionally cultivates, it looks like she's in a daze, but there's no way to know how she cultivates...... Anyway, the strength of the gold-level demonic beast will slowly increase with age, and she has the bloodline of the gold-level demonic beast on her body, so there should be no need to worry about this.

Lydia studies magic, and the actual combat is one part, and the innovation herself is another. Ironforge is cold and snowy, which is very helpful for her ascension...... In a sense, the one who has the highest adaptability here is this little girl.

Erin was one of the more uncomfortable ones here, because the plants here were barren, making it difficult for her to be as comfortable as she was in the forest. However, with the cultivation method given to her by Ji Ran, as well as Hua Luo's hard cultivation in this bitter cold weather, the impact on her was not bad.

Only Ryan is the most bitter.

The method of a necromancer to improve his strength is basically to do a real yàn, a variety of real yàn that uses the undead as a material. If it's in the middle of nowhere, it's fine, there are plenty of corpses of all kinds of monsters at their disposal—and occasionally human corpses...... For necromancers, it's better to use the corpse of a humanoid - after all, it's similar to their own form.

But inside Ironforge, he had no access to these materials...... And his spells are almost impossible to cast in Ironforge, and the necromancy is full of evil, and once used, it will make the dwarves feel like a great enemy - you necromancer we can be unbiased, but you can't cast necromancy in Ironforge......

Therefore, now Ryan can only use the ghosts he has collected, plus the backbone of a gold-rank rock lizard that Ji Ran gave him...... And in the basement.

I have to say that obtaining a bone of a gold-level demonic beast is a great gain for Ryan - this thing is really not so easy to obtain. If it's something like scales or blood, it's easier to get, because as long as you get the gold-level demonic beast injured, you can get something - some people can even negotiate with the gold-level demonic beast and exchange it for other precious things or favors...... But bones, how do you make the gold-level demonic beast willingly give it to you?

Perhaps, the bones of this gold-level demonic beast are only a little less difficult than the difficulty of obtaining the essence blood of the demonic beast...... At least Ryan couldn't get it himself.

Even his parents didn't have extra bones in their hands for him...... In fact, his parents were reluctant to give him ...... Because with his current strength, using the bones of gold-rank demonic beasts is mostly a waste.

So although he was a little depressed, he was not bored...... Ji Ran had already given him this bone, but the black storm was still Ji Ran's. And before, Ji Ran had already broken down the black storm for Sylvia to swallow, and this bone was useless.

Ji Ran has a lot of bones of rock lizards, and it is not distressing to give him a piece. Although the value of this thing, it will really drive most necromancers crazy......

It is really not easy to kill a gold-level demonic beast, and the gold-level powerhouse will not hurt to that extent - even if those gold-level demonic beasts with huge bodies have no senses, they will instinctively avoid the gold-level powerhouse. Ji Ran can get this result, which is definitely an outlier. And the things are easy to spend, so I don't feel sorry for them, and I don't feel anything when I give them to Ryan.

But Ryan felt different.

The friendship between himself and Ji Ran actually didn't last long...... And strictly speaking, I have always been being helped by the other party. Then, the other party also gave himself such a precious gift!

And now, I have nothing to give to the other party...... This made Ryan feel a little ashamed. So, he's trying his best to improve his game, hoping that the next time he fights, he'll no longer be a spectator - he's had a few shots, but overall, he's a spectator.

The group is like that, each doing their own thing. Ji Ran went to wander around when he had nothing to do, and found a cooking master to learn something secretly...... Of course, the skills of those culinary masters have also improved. Although they are still far from the grandmaster, there is no doubt that they have begun to break through to the master level.

Ji Ran envied these culinary masters, because as long as they broke through, there was huge room for improvement. But Ji Ran can imagine that it must be much more difficult for him to become a culinary master or something...... Although he possessed more than a hundred levels of cooking skills, he thought that he was definitely not up to the level of a grandmaster. And there is also a reason why he has been hanging out with those culinary masters all this time - to learn how to go on the path of the grandmaster.

Although it was impossible to fully comprehend, he finally gained something. So, he was in high spirits during this time and didn't feel bored.

But Domorgan is bored...... His liquor trade was regular, and the sale of amber was not a problem at all, all he had to think about was how to get the liquor over and then be snapped up by the taverns or something - if there was anything else about amber that made him bother, it was how to expand the volume of shipments.

But now, he had other things to think about.

That's the problem of the second pot...... Erguotou is obviously a wine that is more popular with dwarves than amber wine, and if Ji Ran doesn't go back, it means that he can't let Erguotou appear here with dwarves!

This is a huge loss for Domorgan...... But there is no way, now that Ji Ran and the others are in too much danger of leaving, it is useless for Domorgan to be in a hurry, so he can only go around all day annoying Ji Ran.

Ji Ran was also helpless about this situation...... In any case, the threat of the True God Cult must always have a higher priority than the second pot, right?

But one day, Domorgan did not appear in front of Ji Ran. Originally, Ji Ran didn't take it seriously, but the news he heard later made him know that something relatively big had happened in Ironforge Castle - the Liber Kingdom had sent an envoy to the dwarves. (To be continued......)
