In the brick room that shimmered with sparks and red light, the bricks that made this house were all made of rare minerals, which were top-notch in terms of thermal and acoustic insulation.

In the center of the room is a large pool of water, and next to it is a hot furnace burning coal.

This is the guild's forge room, which can only be entered by those who have permission to do so. Inside the room, Frost and the President swung hammers made from a mixture of minerals, tapping the dragon's horns on the felt.

"Coming?"

This was the seventh day after Dyqi returned to Cape Kaya. And now, stories of his adventures are spread everywhere in the city, and many mercenary groups have approached him and wanted to invite him to join.

Dye Qi didn't like this, he was originally a passerby, and he didn't plan to stay in the Dwarven Empire for a long time.

"Try to get your hands on it!"

At this moment, First threw a longsword at Dyeqi, who caught it but was almost overwhelmed by the weight of the longsword.

"Really, be careful. ”

Dye Qi complained.

His eyes were on the sword, a weapon made entirely of dragon bones. Under the effect of high temperature and blows, the original milky white keel turned into a deep red color, and combined with the silver-white ore, this sword looked full of violent.

Dye Qi could even see that in those tiny medullary canals in the keel, there were also orange-red ominous spiritual energy, which repeated like light waves.

Wielding the long sword, it didn't have the heaviness when he first held it, and the almost non-existent weight even made Dye Qi wonder if he was really holding the sword.

"It's amazing, isn't it? ”

Furst seemed to see what Dye Qi was thinking. Said with a smug face.

"The keel is very psionic and can make it match your movements as long as you have access to it. ”

"I see..."

Even if he didn't apply high-level swordsmanship, Dye Qi could still see the crimson glow when he wielded his long sword. A sword of this level is estimated to be considered a refined grade.

"Look at me again. ”

At this moment, the president, who had just finished resting, came out of the other corner of the room, with an axe in his hand. Dye Qi saw that the axe face was made of starry sky stone, and the handle of the axe was made of dragon horns.

"Axes?"

Dye Qi took the axe, but he didn't know how to use that weapon. With a few simple swings, he could only feel the weight of the axe.

"It's the wrong way. ”

The chairman watched Dye Qi's clumsy movements, and took the initiative to step forward to demonstrate the correct use of this axe for him.

Like throwing a dart, the leader throws the tomahawk out with his right arm. The axe flew straight forward like a meteor, and just as it was about to hit the wall, a blue light flashed in the leader's hand.

Under the effect of cyanoshi, the axe slowly changed its angle. Dye Qi saw that the handle of the axe made of dragon horns also flashed with blue light, and then the axe flew back into the leader's hand again at a tricky angle.

"See, that's the right way to use it. ”

The chairman seemed to be triumphant.

"Oh, I see. ”

Dye Qi took the axe from the leader's hand, and then directly tried to throw the axe out as well, and then used his psionic energy to pull it back. After a few back-and-forths, he was able to master the weapon.

After putting away the sword and axe, Dye Qi saw his third piece of equipment, which was light armor made of dragon scales. Although it is not very heavy, its defense can surpass that of most heavy armor.

"By the way, didn't you name the equipment?"

After putting on the dragon scale armor under his coat, Dye Qi turned his head and asked the two of them. The two of them are top-notch blacksmiths, and if they don't name their creations, it will be a bit of a loss.

"Of course we have names, who do you think we are?"

Frost patted Dye Qi on the shoulder.

"That sword is called Taigasdero, which means calamity in the dwarven language. ”

"Wow, that's an ominous name..."

"This throwing axe is called [Elixith], which means whirling in the dwarven language. ”

"Well, that's pretty apt. ”

Although these names may sound foreign to humans, they can only be regarded as ordinary in the eyes of the dwarves.

As for the part of the dragon that was used as a reward, it has been made into two short swords, and the shape is the same as that of [Taiga Sdero], and it seems that they are the same batch of products.

But those two weapons are not something that Dye Qi can manage.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the forging room, and the three of them froze for a moment, and then the chairman said "come in" to the outside, and the door was slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a servant of the guild.

"Well, Elder, is Mr. Dye Qi here with you?"

The servant asked resignedly.

"Ah, here, you're looking for him?"

"Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty?"

The three people in the room looked at each other. Especially Ran Qi, he didn't know why the dignified dwarven king was looking for him. Is it because he was found with a monster?

Although there were doubts, Dye Qi did not refuse the king's invitation. If you refuse without permission, you will definitely be said to be too big.

The king's retinue was waiting outside the guild gates. He was dressed in a golden gauze robe, and even when he stood silently in the crowd, he stood out.

Is that the person?" thought to his entourage outside the gate.

"Mr. Ranqi?"

As the current celebrity of the Dwarven Empire, Dye Qi's appearance and experience have been thoroughly spread, and even newcomers who have just joined the Adventurers' Guild know what he looks like.

"It's me. ”

He shook hands with his retinue, who was exactly the same height as him.

"I am the Dwarven King, Hog's retinue, and I have been ordered to meet you. ”

"What fanfare..."

It seems that no matter where the king is, he cares about pomp and circumstance. Ran Qi looked at the luxurious carriage and the specially laid red carpet in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

At the urging of his entourage, Dye Qi boarded the carriage to the palace. The seats in the carriage are soft sofas made of red and gold and woven from swan feathers.

This posture is even richer than that of the Marwar family and the Shire family. Although Dye Qi knew that the national strength of the dwarf country was not strong, it seemed that it was not as bad as he imagined.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, that's probably what it means.

After a few minutes of travel, Dye Qi came to the magnificent building he had seen before.

The sky had already darkened, and all the lights in the imperial city were lit. The golden walls are illuminated with orange and red, making the already magnificent palace even more spectacular.

He stood under the huge arch of pure gold, and even felt a little small.

"Please come with me. ”

The attendant respectfully stretched out his hand and signaled the direction in which Dye Qi was heading. Dye Qi is not pretentious and polite, he has been a servant before, and he knows that the more he pushes, the more disrespectful he is.

After ascending the gentle staircase of about 100 meters, he saw a dark brown gate with many golden veins on it.

There are also many pictures carved on the gate that Dye Qi has never seen, which seem to be some mythological stories. It's just that he has never heard of these things without parents.

"Please come in, the banquet has begun. ”

"Banquet?"

The attendant did not answer Ranqi's question, but silently motioned for the doorman to push the door open. After the door opened, Dye Qi saw an unprecedented feast.

On the long golden table are the bodies of many ferocious sea beasts, cooked into delicious dishes, fruits and vegetables that are not commonly found in the region, and a wide variety of wines, as long as they are high-end wines on the market, all of them are available here.

There are still a lot of things that Dye Qi doesn't know, but the value is definitely only a lot more than before.

"My lord, Mr. Dye Qi has arrived. ”

At this time, the guard beside the dwarf king whispered. Wang also looked at Ran Qi, and a smile appeared in his eyes. But the smile was fleeting.

"It's finally here, Mr. Dyerqi. ”

The Dwarven King rose from his throne and raised his platinum goblet in his hand.

"You are, Dwarven King..."

Dye Qi asked vigilantly.

"Doesn't it look like it?"

The king didn't care about Ran Qi's unreasonable speech, after all, it would be unkind to be angry with a child.

Dye Qi didn't go on, and he didn't mean to provoke the Dwarf King.

Looking around, Ran Qi immediately understood the king's intentions.

At this time, the hall was full of adventurers and mercenaries of all colors, and it seemed that Wang had found a dangerous area and wanted them to go out to explore the way.

But the place that can make the lord of a country pay attention to it must not be an ordinary cave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that you are all here, allow me to explain the purpose of this dinner. ”

At this time, the dwarf king said seriously.

Isn't it a casual feast? Dye Qi pondered.

"All of you here are well-known adventurers in the Empire, and this invitation is to ask you to accept a commission issued by the Emperor, that is, me. ”

"Just a few days ago, we discovered the ruins of the ancient era, and as the Supreme Commander of the Empire, I hope to hire you to survey them once to ensure the safety of the ruins. ”

As expected, Dye Qi nodded.

"Ancient ruins, can you tell us a little more?"

The adventurers present questioned that the more information they get, the better the chances of surviving for the person with the tip of the hob.

"These are state secrets, please forgive me for not commenting. ”

It seems that the Dwarven King does not intend to share all the information, and everyone present understands that this adventure is not trivial, and it is likely that there will be no return.

But the rewards offered by the Empire must be abundant, and for them, the rewards after this adventure are enough for them to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

And in the face of money, most people choose to agree. After all, they do have some strength, and they have been engaged in this kind of business since childhood.

Dye Qi thought about it for a while, although this kind of thing is very risky, but the return is far higher than those ordinary orders. After much thought, he also decided to agree.

"Now that you've decided to accept the commission, please meet at the Adventurers' Guild at eight o'clock next Monday morning, and I'll send someone to lead you. ”

The king raised his glass, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax.
