"Tribesn, let us work together to rebuild the grandest Black Iron City and restore our ho."
"Restore our ho!"
"Restore our ho!"
The Black Iron Dwarfs raised the iron hamrs in their hands, shouting in unison.
Sorreville Copper Furnace hurriedly arranged for the tribe’s wizards to imdiately treat the injured warriors.
The Black Iron Dwarfs began clearing the battlefield.
In the debris of the collapsed buildings, they occasionally found a fla demon spirit or two, which would be smashed by the Black Iron Dwarfs upon appearance.
The priests of the Sea Demon Clan continued to spray river water, helping to cool the Molten Crown.
Lu Heng and Sona, accompanied by Sorreville Copper Furnace, returned to the temporary Dwarf King’s camp.
After sitting down, Lu Heng talked about the discovery he made underground:
"I just discovered an Abyss Rift underground, and it’s the source of the Abyss Energy for Fla Demon Gross."
"I checked that place two days ago, and there was no Abyss Rift."
"Therefore, this Abyss Rift must have appeared in the last couple of days."
"Now, there’s a problem. The precise appearance of the Abyss Rift ans soone is controlling it behind the scenes."
"In other words, the implentation of our plan was discovered by so Abyss Demon Clan."
Sorreville Copper Furnace contemplated and said, "The scale of this plan is large. The entire city’s Black Iron Dwarfs have been moved out, so it’s no surprise that it was discovered by the Abyss Demons."
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, that’s what I think too. But either way, whether it’s discovered by Abyss Demons or not, at least it shows there’s a demon paying attention to the Copper Furnace Kingdom."
Sorreville Copper Furnace nodded in agreent, "I understand, I will be cautious. After the Molten Crown is rebuilt, I will strengthen the patrols of the surrounding areas."
Lu Heng rembered another matter and asked, "How’s the research going on the [Star Realm Sawtooth] we brought back from the Sea of Chaos last ti?"
Sorreville Copper Furnace replied, "We’ve been trying to slt the Star Realm Sawtooth into material, but the progress has been quite slow. The main issue is that the temperature of the current furnace is not sufficient to impact the Star Realm Sawtooth.
"I plan to take this opportunity of rebuilding the Molten Crown to build the largest forging furnace ever in Black Iron Tribe’s history, to lt the Star Realm Sawtooth.
"I’ve discussed this with Master Gulu and hope that Mr. Lu Heng can bring Master Gulu over next ti to jointly study the construction of the forging furnace."
Lu Heng nodded and agreed, "Alright, that’s simple. I’ll bring Master Gulu over after I return."
...
The Fla Demon incident ended, and Sorreville Copper Furnace also officially joined the Sword Holder on behalf of the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.
Sona stayed for one more day, then said farewell with the Sea Demon priests and returned to the Tidal Sea.
Sorreville Copper Furnace personally led the tribe to escort them to the sea, where a group of Black Iron Dwarfs stood waving goodbye, watching the huge sea beast slowly descend into the ocean until its silhouette was no longer visible, only lowering their hands after a while.
After the Sea Demon Clan left, Lu Heng also took his leave to return to Blue Star.
This Star Realm travel, across many worlds.
First to Stone Hamr Castle, then to the Elf World, then to the territory of the Sea Demon Clan, and finally to the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.
Along the way, even in the world of Blue Star, more than a month had passed.
Upon returning to Blue Star, Lu Heng received many ssage notifications.
The urgency of the ssages varied.
Lu Heng replied to the ssages one by one to assure them of his safety, then called Qi Jinhui.
Qi Jinhui received the call, exchanged a few words, then went straight to the point: "You’ve been away for quite a while, there are a few matters that you need to know.
"First, Star Realm rchants have started operating on Blue Star, and their target seems to be Reincarnation Source Material.
"Secondly, the contact frequency between Zero Civilization and Human Recruiters is increasing, and warriors from our war zone who have visited Zero Civilization have been contacted once again by Zero Civilization’s white light.
"Thirdly, Star Realm rchants have had contact with Master Gulu, and I’m worried about changes in the ownership of Quenching Castle, so you need to confirm."
The main reason Quenching Castle has remained in the Human World is due to the good relationship between Master Gulu and Lu Heng.
Without Lu Heng’s connection, Quenching Castle would definitely not be as it is now.
Star Realm rchants belong to a highly advanced civilization, and if they have reached any agreent with Master Gulu, it might affect Lu Heng’s position in Quenching Castle.
Such a possibility exists, so the Da Xia authorities are nervous, but there is nothing they can do.
Because out of the seventy billion humans on Blue Star, only a handful can even talk to Master Gulu.
Even Lin Zeyu only has a decent relationship with Master Gulu but can’t influence Master Gulu’s decisions.
"Alright, I understand. I’ll find ti to visit Quenching Castle."
After ending the call, Lu Heng looked at his phone; it wasn’t dinner ti yet, so he headed to Quenching Castle first.
Quenching Castle was as usual, accessible via the Fla Emblem Building.
Quenching Castle is open to humans; any Superpower User verified by the Fla Emblem can enter.
Of course, entry is limited, so without a legitimate reason, one would typically be refused.
After all, Quenching Castle is not a tourist attraction, and visitors don’t need to check in.
Generally, those entering Quenching Castle are forging masters or Quenching Masters, people with vice professions.
Lu Heng walked into the Fla Emblem, waved to the guard at the door, and passed through the Space Gate into Quenching Castle.
After asking a Quenching Master inside, Lu Heng learned Master Gulu’s whereabouts and went straight to him.
Master Gulu was in the workshop, studying newly obtained forging blueprints.
When Lu Heng entered, he saw Master Gulu peering at the blueprints through a magnifying glass.
This forging blueprint was new to Lu Heng, who walked closer, looking at it curiously, and asked, "Sent by the Star Realm rchant?"
Master Gulu did not lower the magnifying glass, nodded, and said, "Yeah, how did you know?"
Lu Heng chuckled and said, "I heard that Star Realm rchants had been to Quenching Castle, so I guessed."
Master Gulu put down the magnifying glass, straightened up, and said excitedly, "The Star Realm rchants are really generous. They sent a set of demigod weapon blueprints. It’s incredible, so many details in the blueprints that I can’t understand."
No wonder the Da Xia governnt is so nervous; the Star Realm rchants actually gave Master Gulu a set of demigod weapon blueprints.
For a forging master, demigod-level weapon blueprints are priceless treasures.
Sending out sothing so valuable must have a purpose.
No world has things falling from the sky for no reason.
Lu Heng asked, "What do the Star Realm rchants want?"
Master Gulu didn’t care much about such entangled matters and casually replied, "The Star Realm rchants didn’t ask for anything, really. They just hoped to visit Quenching Castle more often in the future."
"You agreed?" Lu Heng had already guessed the answer.
"Yes, I agreed. Such valuable blueprints for demigod-level weapons, I could not refuse such a small request, right?" Master Gulu said rightfully.
Lu Heng naturally agreed with this view but felt that the Star Realm rchants’ motives couldn’t be so simple: "Did they ask for anything else?"
"No other requests, uh... they said they wanted to be friends with you. I told them you’re my best friend, and they wanted to be friends with too." Master Gulu, with no ulterior motives at all, was already treating the Star Realm rchants as friends.
Lu Heng continued to ask, "Since they want to be friends, they must have left a way to contact them?"
Master Gulu pointed to a spherical crystal core on the table and said, "Look, that’s what the Star Realm rchants left."
Lu Heng walked over and picked up the spherical crystal core to examine it.
This crystal core looked like a crystal ball, with buildings, plants, and so shakable snowflakes encased inside.
After examining the crystal core, Lu Heng asked, "Can you hear ?"
A faint light shone from inside the crystal core, followed by a voice: "Hello, Mr. Lu Heng."
