Chapter740 Master Dolan loses his freedom
Lester was of course satisfied, and he even had some doubts that the reason why he was treated so well was because Wuyuan had begun to doubt his true identity.
"I've traveled to the Land of Runes for many years, and this kind of treasure land is really rare, no wonder I've heard that Wuji swordsmen rarely go down the mountain, and most of them like to practice swords on the mountain."
Hearing this, Yi smiled solemnly.
"Actually, the senior brothers still want to go down the mountain more, but the master refuses, but with the persuasion of the master, maybe the master can change his mind......
From these words, Lester heard Yi's true thoughts and couldn't help but smile.
"I heard Master Wuyuan say that it is feasible all the way except for the forbidden land of the Sword Cave, but I don't know why this Sword Cave is called the Forbidden Land?"
After hesitating for a moment, considering that the master deliberately pointed out the location of the sword cave, he was only not allowed to enter, not to be allowed to say, Yi explained.
"As a place for the Wuji faction to practice, the Sword Cave is actually not a forbidden place.
The mountain beasts inside are not a threat, once the sword cave was a test that every Wuji sect disciple needs to pass when he becomes an adult, but because a person is imprisoned, the sword cave is no longer open, and only those arranged by the master can enter the sword cave. ”
"Can you tell me about this person?"
"His name is Dolan, and he is a native of Freljord, who came to settle in Wuji Village eight years ago, and soon became a legendary blacksmith with his exquisite craftsmanship.
The warriors who came to Wuji Village wanted him to help build weapons, and he did not refuse at first, bringing unprecedented fame to Wuji Village, which is also the main reason why Yayi Village Chief allowed him to settle in Wuji Village for a long time.
Until five years ago, there was still an endless stream of sword worshippers, including some unknown traders, Master Dolan was so angry that he directly blasted everyone out,
Master Dolan thought that his life had been seriously disturbed, so he took the initiative to go up the mountain at night to find Master in the Wuji faction, and stated that he wanted to use the sword cave to create a secluded and uninhabited place to forge swords, and let the Wuji faction drive away those who sought swords, on the condition that two swords be made for the Wuji faction every year.
The master quickly agreed, announcing that Master Dolan had left Wuji Village, and did not let the disciples of the sect know the true whereabouts of Master Dolan, but in fact, according to Master Dolan's request, he transformed the place where the sword was forged in the sword cave, and strictly ordered the disciples of the sect not to enter the forbidden land......
This matter is a secret that the master gave me, and there are no more than five people in the entire sword sect who know about it, so I beg the gentleman not to talk nonsense, and not to trespass into the sword cave without permission, otherwise I will be punished. ”
Seeing that Yi showed an uneasy look, Lester nodded with a smile and touched the young man's slightly panicked head.
"Don't worry, I'm not a person who likes to chew my tongue, I'm just a little curious to ask this time, if I want to meet Dolan in person, I will discuss with your master, and it won't cause you any trouble."
The woman was just that, she should have felt humiliated when she was touched by another man, but Yi found that she didn't hate the man in front of her who was wearing a half-face mask, or rather, the wisdom and secrets of the man named Liszt made him dare not make a mistake, but he was a little flattered and secretly excited.
This feeling made Yi slightly lose his temper and ask questions that he would never ask on a daily basis.
"Mr. Liszt, I don't know why you keep wearing this Vastaya mask, and the little silver fox in your arms, are you Vastaya?"
"I do have a connection to the Vastayas, but I don't wear this mask because of Vastaya."
Finding the lock, Lester gently took off his mask, and when that indescribable beautiful face appeared in front of him, Yi only felt that his breath was stagnant, his heart was pounding, and the boy could only quickly stagger his gaze to look away, and when he finally calmed down, Lester had put on the mask again.
"Your looks are really ...... Sorry, I'm out of shape. ”
Lester smiled.
"Now you understand why I'm wearing a mask, right?"
"Well, it seems that your appearance has taken a big toll on your life."
Lester tilted his head slightly to look out the window on the rainy night, caressing the silver fox in his arms, and his voice was faint.
"Yes, sometimes, being too handsome is also a sad thing."
Easy:......
Although Mr. Liszt does have the appearance of a celestial man, why does this sound like he wants to beat people up so much?
"Speaking of which, what's going on with the sword test in two days?"
This time, Yi couldn't tell the matter entrusted by Councilor Taizhi of Zhiyun Province, so he had to clearly refuse.
"I'm sorry, it's easy to make decisions about this matter, if you are interested, you might as well ask Master."
……
The next day, Lester visits Abyss again, explaining that he is related to Orn's Followers, and asks to see Dolan.
Hearing this, Wuyuan didn't want to offend Lester of unknown origin, and he didn't make any guarantees, only saying that he would bring the words to Master Dolan, and whether he wanted to meet or not was up to Dolan's own decision.
This meeting was an unexpected joy, and Lester didn't force it, and decided to go with the flow, but he never thought that Wuyuan would bring news of Master Dolan in the afternoon.
Yi himself has a relationship with Dolan, and when he was a child, he received Dolan's martial arts instruction, so he was naturally qualified to enter the Sword Cave.
Through the layers of guards, Lester soon felt a surge of heat coming from the cave, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It's so hot, is there still natural volcanic lava in the Sword Cave?"
"Not really."
The leader shook his head.
"It's a treasure that Master Dolan himself carried."
Pushing open the heavy stone door, Lester and his party saw a short and strong man with a heat-insulated apron, a shiny head, and unusually developed limbs in the smelting place, none other than Master Dolan.
His gaze swept over Wuyuan and Yi's bodies, and Dolan's gaze was fixed on Lester, his brows furrowed.
"You just say that you have a connection with the furnace family?"
"Yes, the two furnace families I know, one is a descendant of Furtors and the other is a descendant of Reese, but I don't know who Master Dolan is?"
The words fell, and under the gaze of Wu Yuan and Yi, the fiery swordsmith who had always had a stinky face widened his eyes, and ran to Lester in a panic and pressed the man's shoulder, and for a while the master and apprentice looked at each other, stunned.
"What! Do you know the two old furnace family names, Furtors and Reese? Where are they? ”
"There's no need for them to stay where they are."
With a nonchalant face, he removed Dolan's heavy right hand from his shoulder, and Lester said in a deep voice.
"I would like to know what is the relationship between Master Dolan and the Furnace Family? What is the purpose of looking for the furnace family? ”
Feeling the explosive power like a volcano in Lester's body, even his own body strengthened by the divine fruit could not resist, Dolan's movements were much more cautious, and he did not continue to use his body to oppress the unknown visitor in front of him, but turned his head to look at the two masters and apprentices of Wuyuan.
"Wuyuan, I want to talk to this Lord Liszt alone."
When Dolan spoke, Wuyuan naturally had no reason to watch, so he had to leave the room with his apprentice and watch Dolan close the stone door with his own hands.
Looking at the master's uncertain expression, Yi didn't dare to say anything, so he had to stand quietly aside.
Back at the furnace, Dolan and Lester looked at each other, and after a moment, Dolan couldn't hold his breath and spoke first.
"I was inseparable from the furnace and the hammer when I was born in my mother's womb, and at the age of fourteen I walked into the snow-capped mountains alone, following the traces of the furnace family and the god of forging.
Pointing to the red white beads in the furnace, Doran seemed to return to that scorching night of wind and snow.
Orn grunted as he slapped the black rock with a sledgehammer, and in the blink of an eye, the black rock became a furnace for human use.
Then Orn grunted and threw the bead into the furnace, and the extinguished furnace was instantly ablaze.
I don't know what Orn said to me for a long time, but I could feel that Orn was testing me, and I had to use all my skills in front of the God of Forging to receive the gift of the God of Forging.
For seven days of sleepless casting, I had not eaten a single rice or drunk a sip of water, except for the fruit of fire that Orn had thrown me, but I had an inexhaustible strength in my body, and my hot blood was hotter than molten lava.
In the midst of the wind and thunder, I melted the ore in the furnace of Orn, and condensed the hot molten metal into steel, and hammered the ingots into a sword on the anvil of the black stone.
With the edge of the sword sharpened out of black rock, the brass lattice, and the black iron for the hilt, I forged my best work with all my might, under the gaze of Orn,
It was a sword that was enough to open mountains and crack rocks, and sharpen iron like clay, and I believe that even the Sword of Ice in the hands of the War Mother could not compete with that sword.
When I presented the perfect sword to Orn, Orn began to grunt, and threw the sword I had made into the furnace, and to my disappointment, Orn led me into the heat of the Black Mountain,
On the black rocks that are harder than steel, older than the night, and more ancient than the stubborn stones of the sea, I saw dozens of forging murals left by my predecessors,
The frescoes are made up of lines and hieroglyphs, and unlike Freeldron German or any other current language, most of the murals have a tadpole-like twisting shape that makes it difficult to understand the true meaning.
I quickly understood that these murals were all carved by the followers of the god of forging, Orn, and that each mural was the result of the master's life's work and peerless skills, and that any one of the murals placed outside was enough to make the blacksmith completely insane.
I couldn't understand the content of most of the murals, and I could guess the meaning of only three of them, which were the smelting of ores, the fusion of metals, and the mystery of the blade.
Orn didn't give me much time to explore the mural, and after just a week, Orn threw me out of the cave and threw me different ores again for me to continue smelting.
I lived on that Black Mountain for three whole years, just to create a peerless sword that Orn recognized, and finally, after three years, the sword I had created was not thrown into the furnace by Orn, and Orn threw the sword to me, and once again took me to the Black Mountain Cave of my dreams.
Orn pointed to the blank black rock and began to grunt, I guessed that Orn might want me to keep my experience here, so I started carving with the longsword I had made myself,
Sure enough, my sword made a deep cut on the black rock that was harder than steel, and I became one of the master blacksmiths.
When I had finished carving, Orn took the sword and threw me out, along with my hammer and the orb that would make me ignite the flames of the furnace at any moment.
When I turned back, the black mountain had disappeared in the snowstorm, and I staggered and called out Orn's name, but Orn did not appear, and I knew that I had passed Orn's test and had a legendary experience.
But for me, the road of forging did not stop, I spent a week in the grotto, not just to understand the three frescoes that I could understand, but to try to memorize the frescoes that I could not understand, and I did not have much time, so I only memorized the contents of the other two frescoes by rote. ”
Lester looked at the orb, this thing didn't seem to be a magic item, and it didn't spontaneously absorb the free attitude fire element to replenish itself, it was hard to imagine how a bead could play the role of a perpetual motion machine.
"So I started to travel around the world, looking for the furnace family, the furnace family is the believer of Aoun, and many of those murals are carved by the furnace family, and only by finding the furnace family, can I understand the content of the murals.
It's a pity that until now, I haven't met any of the furnace family, and those two murals have not been able to help me further forge knowledge. ”
With that, Dolan stared at Lester without blinking.
"You know the lost ancient name of the furnace family, you must have really seen the furnace family! Tell me, where do I go to find the furnace family, and what price should I pay? You can ask for anything but my life and my freedom! ”
Hearing this, Lester frowned.
"Since you're not a Furnace family, how do you know the meaning of Vortors and Reese?"
"A mother-in-law told me three lost Lu family names, otherwise I don't know the secrets of the Lu family, since you can say these two surnames accurately, you are not a liar, even in Freljord, the Lu family has become an ancient legend, let alone in such a remote newborn land."
Lester was silent, he didn't expect that Dolan was not a furnace family, but an apprentice trained by Orn himself.
"I can let you meet the descendants of the Lu family, and even ask the Lu family to help you crack the secret of the mural, but I also have my own requirements."
"Please!"
"Your sword is definitely not allowed to show its edge to the Noxian Empire!"
This is too big a word, Dolan can't guarantee it at all, after all, he is just a swordsmith, and as for whether the sword master uses the sword to cut down the Demacians or kill the Noxians, it has nothing to do with him, and he can't control it.
"Well, I can't guarantee ......"
"Then join the Noxian Empire, you will become the imperial swordsmith of the empire, and all the forging resources will be poured out for you!"
Dolan took a deep breath and looked back at the young man in front of him.
"To say such a thing, you, who the hell are you?"
Lester took off his mask and looked solemn and majestic.
"I'm Lester, the Holy Emperor of the Noxian Empire, Dolan, tell me your answer?"
Dolan, whose face was shocked, subconsciously took two steps back.
"What would you do if I didn't agree?"
"I will not tolerate a legendary forger who is not under the control of the Empire, so your forge path will come to an end here."
"So, that Wuji Village and Wuji faction?"
"To keep it a secret, everyone here will be buried for you."
"It seems that I have no other choice...... I promise you, can you give me some time to deal with my relationship with the Wuji? ”
"Yes, I will leave you a token, and within a year, take the token to the Immortal Fortress, and all the conditions promised to you will be counted."
