Giant Stone Castle.
The Dwarf King Baron stood in front of the Dwarf Furnace, looking at the lifeless Dwarf Furnace.
He glanced back at Lu Ran and the others waiting behind him.
Then, taking a deep breath, he carefully took out the Eternal Fire.
When Lu Ran had initially stored it in his backpack, he had just put it straight in.
Now he was watching the Dwarf King hold it in his palm.
Like a small candle flame, flickering as if it could extinguish at any moment.
Lu Ran instinctively didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Then.
The Dwarf King moved the Eternal Fire closer to the Dwarf Furnace.
Whoosh~
It was as if a piece of metal was approaching a magnet.
The Eternal Fire was instantly absorbed by the Dwarf Furnace.
Immediately after.
The entire Dwarf Furnace emitted a rumbling vibration.
The black dust, grime on it began to peel off in large patches.
It was like a treasure sealed by time gradually revealing its true form, as the originally dark red furnace started to show its true appearance.
The flames inside also roared fiercely almost instantly.
The speed of this change was incredible, even to Lu Ran.
At the same time.
Intense heat waves hit him, making Lu Ran feel like even his hair was about to curl.
With each breath, hot waves went in and out of his lungs, making him dry-mouthed.
The Dwarf King's eyes welled with tears, with the Dwarf Furnace that had lain silent for so many years now glowing once more!
On his forehead, as well as on the guards around him, including Annie near Lu Ran.
A flame totem appeared on the foreheads of all the Dwarves at the same time and then silently faded away.
"Only the Dwarf Furnace with the Eternal Fire is the true pride of the Dwarf Race, and because of it, the Dwarf Race can transform into the original form of Titan creations, the perfect form!" The Dwarf King laughed heartily.
Lu Ran and the others retreated step by step.
This heat wave was becoming increasingly terrifying!
"Lu Ran, where is your weapon? Give it to me, I'll forge it for you right now!" the Dwarf King shouted, turning his head.
Lu Ran took out the Sea-stabilizing Trident, glancing at its attributes.
[Triumph Trident]
[Part: Weapon]
[Quality: Titan Epic]
[Level: Unlimited]
[Profession: Unlimited]
[Intelligence: 1150]
[Stamina: 500]
[Magic Defense: 570]
[Physical Defense: 570]
[Additional: Increases base damage of Water Skills by 10%]
[Additional: Provides passive 'Do as You Please']
These were the original attributes of the Sea-stabilizing Trident.
It was probably the last time Lu Ran saw them, also to compare with the attributes after forging was successful.
After a glance, Lu Ran tossed the Sea-stabilizing Trident over.
The Dwarf King caught it effortlessly.
He approached the Dwarf Furnace step by step.
It was hard to imagine how high the temperature around the Dwarf Furnace was, the Dwarf King's body almost appeared distorted by the heat waves.
His clothes spontaneously combusted and burst apart.
Although he was a dwarf, it was somewhat inappropriate for younger audiences.
"I'm about to start controlling the Dwarf Furnace, you should all leave. The temperature here will increase exponentially, if you stay here, you will die," the Dwarf King shouted sternly.
Of course.
This wasn't about hiding anything, nor about keeping crafting techniques secret.
This thing can only be controlled and forged by the Dwarf Race, even if other races learned the Dwarf Race's crafting methods, they would have no Dwarf Furnace to use.
Letting Lu Ran and the others leave was truly for their own good.
Otherwise, if they stayed here, they would probably be roasted to death.
Although the Undead Army could take on damage for Lu Ran, he wasn't idle enough to want to experience the agony of being roasted alive.
So they all exited the hall.
Next.
The guards closed the doors tightly.
The moment the doors closed, the unbearable heat instantly vanished without a trace.
"Oh my god, I've never felt this cool in my life!"
"The temperature of the Dwarf Furnace is indeed exaggerated, it's hard to believe such a small flame of the Eternal Fire has such terrifying energy!"
"It can be understood, the Eternal Fire and the Dwarf Furnace are somewhat similar to the Elf Race's Life Divine Tree and Magic Stone, complementing each other and indispensable."
...
Indeed.
Back when Lu Ran was with the Elf Race.
The Life Divine Tree, without the Magic Stone, withered day by day.
The Magic Stone without the Life Divine Tree pairing with it became a useless rock.
Now it's the same with the Dwarf Race.
Without the Dwarf Furnace, the Eternal Fire is like a small candle flame, useless.
The Dwarf Furnace is also a useless large lump.
Now the two complement each other, not to mention the crafting effects, just the posture of it makes people's blood boil!
Annie beside him was so excited she almost couldn't sit still.
She kept glancing at Lu Ran, wanting to say something but stopping.
Liu Xinxin keenly noticed Annie's change.
She smiled and said, "Annie, now you can also forge, are you eager to go back?"
"Yes, yes!" Annie nodded instinctively, but then said embarrassedly, "But you all are here..."
"We're fine, the Dwarf King will take care of the follow-up," Lu Ran realized, telling Annie.
Seeing that Annie seemed a bit embarrassed still.
He continued, "Once we get our forged equipment, we're almost leaving as well. You staying here is useless, now probably all the Dwarves are trying to forge equipment, you can try too."
The strong desire for equipment made Annie unable to hold back any longer.
"Alright! Then I'm leaving first!" Annie nodded.
She turned around.
And ran with her little short legs.
But she hadn't run far when she suddenly stopped, turned, and looked at Lu Ran.
With a hopeful expression, she asked, "Lu Ran, will we... will we meet again...right?"
The world is big, and the Dwarf Race isn't going anywhere, they're probably about to start migrating underground soon, so meeting again wouldn't be difficult.
So Lu Ran nodded, "Of course."
Only then did Annie cheer excitedly and quickly ran off.
While Lu Ran and the others waited outside, feeling bored.
"I wonder how long it will take?" Lu Ran turned and asked.
Liu Xinxin, Ye Hongyi, and Lei Tai, the three well-informed presidents, all shrugged simultaneously.
Who knows.
Probably no one in the world knows right now.
There's nothing to do but wait patiently.
Soon, night fell.
Who knows how many hours had passed.
When Lu Ran and the others began to wonder whether the forging would continue until the next morning.
Suddenly!
A rainbow pillar of light burst from the top of the forging hall, breaking through the dome, shooting straight into the sky!
The night clouds were shattered by the beam, instantly splitting apart, dispersing the fog, allowing moonlight to pour down, while the rainbow light beam lingered without dispersing.
About ten minutes later.
The beam of light slowly faded away, disappearing.
Click-clack~
The stone doors of the hall slowly parted from the center.
The Dwarf King stepped out, steam rising from his body due to the heat.
It was clear he was very exhausted.
Forging the Sacred Artifact took a huge toll on his body!
His eyelids were almost drooping.
Yet he forced a smile, tossing the item in his hand to Lu Ran.
And said, "Crafting complete, check the attributes, it's guaranteed to satisfy you!"
