Chapter 190 Gate of Ashes

"Hey, you know how awesome it is..." Perhaps because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, Moradin seemed particularly excited at this time. After showing off proudly, he started chatting with Lin Li with great interest: " By the way, how did you get the Mark of Dawn?"

"Mark of the Dawn?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face: "What is this?"

"Hell, you don't have the Mark of the Dawn?" Moradin cursed, sounding a little angry: "Then how did you pass through the Ash Gate?"

"What is the Gate of Ashes..." Lin Li scratched his head. Just when he was looking confused, he suddenly remembered the moment when he passed through the colorful light. The expression on his face froze, and he raised his head in disbelief. In his right hand, he showed off the elemental torrent ring that was shining with faint light: "You...is this the dawn mark you are talking about?"

"That's right, that's right..." As soon as the elemental torrent ring was revealed, Moradin exclaimed, and even his words were a little incoherent for a moment: "It's really here with you, the Seal of the Dawn is really here with you. , God...I am saved, I am finally saved..."

"Is this thing very important to you?" Lin Li glanced at Moradin strangely. Because he was too excited, the strange hammer was shaking slightly.

"It's so important!" After a long time, Moradin suddenly said: "Boy, let's make a deal!"

"What deal?"

"The Seal of the Dawn is very important to me. I need to borrow it. Don't worry, I won't borrow it in vain. In exchange, I can help you get a powerful magic equipment." Moradin said this and asked casually. : "By the way, you should be a warrior, right?"

Lin Li glanced at the flame salamander leather armor on his body and nodded quietly: "That's right.\"

"Okay. As long as you are willing to lend me the Mark of the Dawn, I will help you get a weapon forged by the Dark Iron Dwarves."

"This..." Lin Li hesitated. It wasn't that he refused to borrow it. The key was that he couldn't figure out what Moradin wanted to do.

Seeing that Lin Li was silent for a long time, Moradin became a little anxious: "Two magic equipment, one weapon and one armor, this should be enough, right?"

"Let me think about it..."

Half an hour passed. Lin Li was still thinking about it.

Moradin couldn't wait any longer: "Hey, have you finally thought about it?"

"Don't worry, this is a big deal. I need to think it through..." Lin Li really hasn't thought it through yet. If it had been in the past, he would have just loaned out the Dawn Seal without saying a word. Anyway, it was just a loan. borrow. {First Reading} He didn't suffer much loss, but what he got in exchange was two pieces of magic equipment forged by the Dark Iron Dwarves. Such a cost-effective deal is not something you often come across.

But this time, Lin Li was really hesitant.

What we encountered today was really weird, whether it was the colorful light or this palace floating in the sky. Everything was full of weird atmosphere, which made Lin Li have to be extra cautious when making choices.

"By the way, Moradin, have you always been here these twelve hundred years?"

"Yeah. ^^^^That's right..." After Moradin finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed: "Wait, what did you just say? One thousand two hundred years, you mean, has passed. Twelve hundred years?"

"Yes, twelve hundred years have passed since the Dark Ages. Why, don't you know?"

"Damn it...it's actually taken so long." Moradin muttered and complained for a while. He asked Lin Li curiously: "Is the war over?"

"It's over a long time ago. All high elves, including Osric, are finished. Now humans rule the world of Anriel."

"What about the Dark Iron dwarves?"

"There are no more Dark Iron Dwarves..." Lin Li shook his head and told Moradin everything he read in the book: "The Dark Iron Dwarves were wiped out as soon as the war began. In the world of Anriel, There has not been a living Dark Iron dwarf in twelve hundred years."

"Strange, before the magic legion appeared, wasn't there a group of black iron dwarves who escaped. Could it be that they were also killed by Osric..." Moradin's voice sounded like he was talking to himself.

"This group of black iron dwarves. I'm afraid they haven't escaped from the magic army..." Lin Li didn't say this casually.

Everyone knows that Dark Iron dwarves are natural blacksmiths, and they have an innate talent for forging. Almost every adult black iron dwarf can reach the level of a senior blacksmith. If they can really escape, how come there is no rumor about them in the world of Anriel in the past twelve hundred years?

After 1,200 years, no matter how talented these dark iron dwarves are, there should still be dozens of forging masters, right?

Once a master-level blacksmith appears, unless they have been isolated from the world for 1,200 years, there will never be any rumors. Just look at Oranna today and you will know that the Storm Sword Master is famous in France. What? In addition to his own strong strength, at least half of the reason is because he is a master blacksmith. {First Reading}*****

If there really was such a group of Dark Iron dwarves, how could it be the Marathon family's turn to be so arrogant? He has long been overwhelmed by a large group of forging masters and can no longer hold his head up.

"It's really strange. I clearly remember that they have escaped..."

"Maybe he was found again later..." Lin Li was not very interested in the life and death of the Black Iron Dwarf, and did not want to continue to entangle him. After mentioning it casually, he moved the topic to other places.

Perhaps because of the relationship with him, Moradin could be said to answer all questions during the conversation. No matter what Lin Li asked, as long as it knew it, it could almost give a satisfactory answer.

From the conquest of the Dark Iron Dwarves to the establishment of the Eternal Forge, Lin Li had read most of these stories in books, but how could this compare to hearing it told by Moradin himself? That was all his personal experience. Whether it was the details of the story or the degree of reality, it was far beyond what books could match.

Lin Li was dumbfounded when he heard all kinds of insider information.

No one knows why Osric became interested in forging. No one knew why he wanted to build the Eternal Forge. Everything seemed like a farce. The great lord suddenly remembered to study forging, and so the tragedy of the Dark Iron Dwarves happened...

The magic army rode lightning down from the sky, conquered the Dark Iron Dwarves overnight, and took away their thousand-year-old sacred artifact Thor's Hammer. ****

When he said this, Moradin smiled shamelessly: "Hey, actually I don't have anything. Anyway, it's just a sacred object among the Dark Iron Dwarves. Following Osric is a good thing. At least I can get in touch with it. To more precious magic metals..."

"..." Lin Li rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy has the talent to be a traitor.

In the years that followed, Moradin did come into contact with countless precious magic metals. With Osric's power and status, he could get almost all the magic metals he wanted, including the fiery flames that even Lin Li coveted. Magic iron.

Then came the construction of the Eternal Forge. Moradin followed Osric Land and participated in almost the entire construction process. Today, twelve hundred years later, I am afraid that no one can understand the Eternal Forge better than him.

Lin Li guessed correctly. The Eternal Furnace indeed used Sky City's technology, a fire dragon's magic crystal. It provides the source of power for the operation of the eternal furnace. The extremely complex magic patterns are crisscrossed. They restrict and influence each other, bringing this purest fire magic element to the extreme. The entire eternal furnace is like a precise machine. Even if it is a slight mistake. It may also cause the entire project to be wasted.

The technology used in this process has exceeded the limit of human power. Even Osric, who is extremely talented, cannot complete it alone. In order to build the eternal furnace, he used almost all the manpower and material resources at hand. In that short time, In just three years, Osric squandered enough money to buy the entire Kingdom of France. ^^^^

"Did you see the corridor in front? It takes about ten minutes to go from there. You will reach the core of the Eternal Furnace. There is a real furnace there. There is no flame or smoke, only the purest fire magic element. , directly provided by the giant dragon magic crystal, the magic metal smelted with it is almost perfect, and there will never be a trace of impurities."

"Look at your side. There is a showroom there dedicated to storing Osric's works. To be honest. This bastard is really a genius. Every piece of magic equipment he forged is at the master level. level. It's a pity that he died too early. If he had lived for a few more years, he might have become a master blacksmith again. "So powerful?" "

Lin Li was startled, and was about to open the door to take a look, but was stopped by Moradin: "Don't go, you are out of luck, you came too late, these things had been taken away as early as 1,200 years ago. He transported away the precious ores and the mountains of gold and silver."

"..." This time Lin Li understood.

I still remember that Grean once told him about this when he was in Garros. In his later years, the great lord didn't know if he took the wrong medicine, but he actually built a huge tomb for himself. When Moradin mentioned it, Lin Li suddenly remembered that most of the things moved from here had been transported to the tomb. Burying with valuables was not just a human custom...

"Otherwise, I can give you two." Moradin said, finally losing his patience: "Hey, have you thought about it? Is it okay to borrow the Mark of the Dawn? You should give me an answer. Okay? I won’t treat you badly. I’m just exchanging two pieces of powerful magic equipment for one use. You have to think clearly that they were forged by the Dark Iron Dwarves. If you miss this opportunity, don’t regret it in the future! "

"It's okay to lend it to you, but I'm not interested in magic equipment..."

"So what are you interested in?"

Lin Li waited for a long time, waiting for this sentence. He smiled and finally revealed his purpose: "Hey, to tell you the truth, I am very interested in the fire dragon magic crystal you mentioned. , if you can get it for me, let alone lend it to you, this Seal of the Dawn, it’s okay even if it’s given to you..."

"That's not possible!" Moradin quit and categorically rejected Lin Li: "That fire dragon's magic crystal is not only the power source of the eternal furnace, it also maintains the power of the entire void world. Operation, without it, the void world will collapse immediately. Not only will the Eternal Furnace disappear, but you and me will probably..."

"What void world?" Lin Li was stunned.

"Hell..." Moradin swore a curse word, his voice a little angry: "Didn't you realize that this is not the original world at all?"

"..." Moradin's words finally reminded Lin Li of a possibility. For a moment, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he swallowed hard: "You... you mean, eternity?" Is the location of the furnace actually in a certain dimensional space?"

"nonsense……"

"Holy shit..." Lin Li almost went crazy on the spot: "Then how do I get out?"

"Humph, it's all up to me!"

"On you?"

"Yes, if you lend me the Seal of Dawn, I will naturally be able to take you out."

"Real or false..." Lin Li glanced at it with some suspicion in his eyes.

"Let me tell you the truth, the Mark of Dawn is equivalent to the key to the Ashes Gate. Only by mastering this key can you freely travel between the two worlds. Otherwise, you will be burned to ashes by the Ashes Gate."

"Gate of Ashes..." After hearing these words, Lin Li thought of the colorful light again, and his face turned pale for a moment: "Is the Gate of Ashes you are talking about a colorful light?"

"Have you seen its power?"

"Indeed..." Lin Li nodded. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He had indeed seen the power of the Gate of Ashes. A majestic level 15 monster was turned into ashes in an instant. Such power is at least legendary. level of power.

"It's good to have seen it. Now you should think about it clearly, right?"

"I've thought about it carefully." Lin Li nodded honestly, and then said something that almost made Moradin angry to death: "I decided not to borrow it."

"Holy shit!" Moradin was so angry that he almost jumped up: "Damn boy, do you dare to amuse me?"

"You can lie to me for a long time, why can't I entertain you? You should give me a reason..."

"How did I lie to you?" Although Moradin's tone was strong, there was a hint of guilt in his voice.

"How did you lie to me?" Lin Li slowly bent down and took Moradin in his hand again: "Yes, the Seal of Dawn is indeed the key to the Ashes Gate, but if you borrow the Seal of Dawn from me, I'm afraid you don't want to pass through the ashes. Is the door that simple?"

"I……"
