The giants in the sky may hold treasures.
The ghostly white horse can cross mountains and seas, but cannot reach the sky.
The Blood Knight begins to search for a way to reach the heavens.
There is no ladder to the sky in this world, nor are there any special teleportation channels. The sky and the earth are separated by a vast distance that is difficult to overco.
At this ti, the dwarves found the Blood Knight.
"Mighty and brave knight, the Furnace Clan of the dwarves offers you the highest respect and gratitude!"
"You have saved us from the threat of the sea of fire."
"You have allowed the dwarves to set foot on distant lands and regain vitality."
"To repay your help and salvation, the Furnace Clan will do everything in our power to forge the best armor and swords for you! Please make any requests you have, the Furnace Clan will spare no effort!"
Over the years, Neville’s fighting and charging in the sea of fire was completely seen by the dwarves.
At first, the Furnace Clan thought he was a madman who appeared out of nowhere.
Running and swinging his sword towards the flas would only be engulfed by the fire.
Every dwarf in the fortress knew this.
This was a world of fire and furnaces.
The world was forged into a giant blast furnace, and the Furnace Clan were the craftsn guarding it.
In the past, many ores, coke, and so special materials would fall from the sky. They entered from the sea of fire on the other side of the world and were transford into iron, copper, and slag by the fire elent in high temperatures.
These scorching semi-finished products would fall through the passage at the center of the blast furnace world and land in the other pole, where the dwarves were, or the forging area. The forging area continent was entirely made up of coke, clay, and various casting materials.
Next, the dwarves would sort these scorching semi-finished products.
Iron, copper, and other special tals were stacked orderly on one side, while the slag and waste materials were poured back into the sea of fire.
Then ca the forging work.
Taking iron as an example, the Furnace Clan had to reprocess pig iron, heating them repeatedly and forging them into blocks of high-quality wrought iron.
These wrought iron blocks were piled into iron towers, which would be sucked away by the cloud giants in the sky and sent to the outside world.
The dwarves couldn’t accurately rember how many years they had been forging iron in this blast furnace world. They only knew that the world was supposed to be like this, with fire, slting, forging, and accumulation...
They didn’t know when it started, but no more ores fell from the sky.
The dwarves fed on slag and were not afraid of food shortages. The waste materials accumulated over thousands of years spread throughout this blast furnace world, causing the world to expand and beco round.
Without the need to slt tals anymore, the sea of fire grew day by day, the flas expanded outward, constantly eroding and engulfing the dwarves’ land.
The dwarves knew that one day the flas would completely envelop the world.
They awaited the rain of the cloud giants, gathering this rain and storing it in the fortress.
The dwarves continued to forge and reinforce the fortress, silently preparing for the ultimate battle with the elental creatures. With the dwarven fortress, they had hope.
Even though they knew they had little chance of winning, the dwarves would never surrender to difficulties.
Just as they were nervously preparing, the sea of fire suddenly disappeared.
The vast and boundless land of fire, the country of flas, unexpectedly t its own end before the dwarven doomsday.
That crazy knight had conquered the flas.
The angry roars and weak wails of the imperial giant elephants spread throughout the world.
The arrogant emperor t his demise, taking away the fire of the entire world.
The dwarves looked at each other in astonishnt.
Internally, they decided that they must express the highest respect and admiration to this remarkable knight, whether as a courtesy or to praise his courage.
...
The Blood Knight, who was unaware of the situation, only thought about his next opponent.
Neville said, "I want to go to the sky and fight the cloud giants."
This request dumbfounded the dwarven clan.
Fight in the sky?
Isn’t the ground good enough?
Without the land covered in flas, it would be such a cool and beautiful place. The sky only had clouds and the terrifying cloud giants who ruled over it.
The Furnace Clan urgently discussed again.
Although they didn’t know why the knight wanted to go to the sky, since he had made the request, the dwarven clan had to fulfill the grand promises they had previously made.
After intense and heated discussions, the dwarves actually found a way.
They built many furnaces outside the dwarven fortress and erected tall chimneys.
Because the sea of fire had disappeared, the dwarves could find many materials from the seabed waste, making the chimneys sturdy and straight. The process of building the chimneys proceeded in an orderly manner.
Under the sky area where the cloud giants hovered and rested, dense chimneys had already been erected, resembling cacti covered in thorns.
The dwarves ignited the coke after putting it into the chimneys.
Hundreds of chimneys emitted thick smoke, billowing black smoke rising into the sky, completely darkening the clouds in the sky. A large amount of coal ash flew into the air, obscuring the sky.
The sleeping cloud giants inhaled a large amount of coal ash and woke up coughing.
Angry, it blew a strong wind!
However, the chimneys were still being built one by one, and the furious wind couldn’t shake the craftsmanship that the dwarves had honed for countless years.
This was also the dwarves’ goal: to make the cloud giants co down to the ground.
However, they completely did not expect the reaction of the cloud giants.After failing to blow away the smoke, the Cloud Giant yelled in the air, "Stop it! It’s too choking, it’s suffocating...cough, cough, cough..."
"No more smoke, no more ash, it’s too much, too much, I can’t stand it! Cough, cough, cough..."
"Cough, cough, if you need rain in the future, just call !"
"Damn that hateful coal ash! Ahhhhh!"
"Alright, alright... I get it, you win!"
"I’m just following the rules! Don’t go too far!"
The Blood Knight and the dwarves were all stunned.
It was only after further discussions that the Blood Knight learned the truth.
Despite the Cloud Giant’s large size, its actual body was quite small, surrounded by a cloud, making it appear much larger than it actually was.
Moreover, due to certain rules, it could only stay in a fixed zone in the sky, with a range of movent even narrower than that of the dwarves on the ground. Its task was to absorb tals and send them into the channel that would appear above its head, provide water for the dwarves, and enable the dwarves to forge tals.
After the channel closed, the Cloud Giant had been bored for many years, with its only entertainnt being urinating from the sky.
The dwarves were furious!
For many years, the Furnace Clan had regarded the Cloud Giant as an unfathomable world-class monster, residing high in the sky, on par with the King Elephant of the Sea of Fire. However, they never thought that it was just a facade.
The Cloud Giant revealed its true form, a small light blue cloud.
In order to apologize and protect itself, the Cloud Giant also gave a piece of news that it thought was significant.
"The main world outside has been destroyed... Only in this case would the gods abandon this furnace world."
"This place is not only for forging tals but also for cultivating fire elents."
"They haven’t appeared for many epochs, it can only an that all the gods have fallen."
"You don’t have to forge anymore!"
The Blood Knight was already aware of this.
He only asked one thing: "Where is the best treasure here?"
The command of God Yao must not be forgotten.
The Cloud Giant said, "Of course it’s the fire elent, that sea of fire... but it’s gone now."
"Besides the Sea of Fire, the most valuable thing here is definitely the Dwarf Fortress."
...
In Lu Yao’s left hand was a red stone box, the Muspelheim Fire Box, the engine and source of the Sea of Fire.
In his right hand was a grey stone model of the Dwarf Fortress.
Lu Yao looked at the returning Blood Knight.
There was an additional layer of fla pattern on Neville’s armor, which looked ancient and exquisite. Moreover, the Blood Knight had beco more calm and restrained, completely devoid of the previous oppressive aura.
This trip to the Spirit Realm was fruitful.
Only about ten minutes had passed outside, but seven years had passed in the Furnace World, with ti flowing faster than Baroye had predicted.
