time, just forging this sword had taken her nearly two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the dwarf queen came to the temple, to her own bedroom, took a bath, and changed into a new set of clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her height of less than 1.2 meters was not a defect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarves generally grew to this height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And due to the coordination of her body proportions, coupled with her hot figure, the dwarf queen looked like an exceptionally exquisite loli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, a loli with the aura of a queen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her temperament was still quite unique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all female dwarves, a female dwarf like her would not be born for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because most female dwarves, although short in stature, always looked a bit rough and sturdy, and their personalities were also fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially female dwarves who frequently smelted iron!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the dwarf queen was smelting iron, the feeling she gave people was like a \"violent loli.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were clearly bold and unrestrained, yet they possessed considerable aesthetic appeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, perhaps, is the charm of good looks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her skin was also quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to living underground for a long time, her complexion was very fair, but not that kind of sickly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes also appeared very bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, she was one of the more distinctive ones among Lin Yan's saintesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the dwarf queen changed her clothes, she found a veil to wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, she was now Lin Yan's saintess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already sworn to serve the Lord of Flame for her entire life, and her body and mind belonged entirely to the Lord of Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, her face could not be seen by others either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting on the veil, the dwarf queen carried the box containing the Sword of Divine Punishment on her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword of Divine Punishment was not long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword, although used for the meeting of the eight tribes, was originally a sword forged for dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen also intended to use it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was about one meter long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword length, compared to the dwarf queen's height, was already a greatsword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the dwarf queen swung it, it had quite the feeling of a human knight wielding a broadsword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen, shall I carry it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the dwarf queen walked out of the temple, a maid said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen shook her head: \"It's fine, I'll carry it myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid wanted to say something but stopped, probably wanting to say that it was not appropriate for a queen to carry the sword box herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing the dwarf queen so insistent, the female dwarf could not say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, to Gray Castle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day after tomorrow was the day of the meeting of the eight dwarf tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it would still take some time to get from here to Gray Castle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen walked out with a dozen or so dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, all the dwarves in the underground city came out to see them off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarves in this underground city all belonged to the dwarf queen's tribe, and their numbers were not small, totaling a full ten or twenty thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen, we await your entry into Iron Castle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Queen, you must outperform the other seven tribes, reunify the eight dwarf tribes, and restore the majesty of our Iron Castle Kingdom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, those dwarves shouted one after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the meeting of the eight dwarf tribes was pinned with high hopes by these dwarves!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dwarf queen and her party walked toward the city gates amidst the cheers of all the dwarves in the underground city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for quite some time, they passed by that huge castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Castle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place had already been sealed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they still lived in the underground city where Iron Castle was located, they were no longer qualified to enter Iron Castle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen stood in front of Iron Castle and stared at it for a while!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood was completely different from what it had been a few months ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few months ago, whenever she saw Iron Castle, she would have some emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had been working hard to return to Iron Castle, she also clearly knew how difficult that was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she had full confidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confidence came from the Sword of Divine Punishment she carried on her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it also came from the great Lord of Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen watched for a while, then stepped forward and walked toward the city gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen or so dwarves followed behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mine cart moved forward with a \"clatter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray Castle was still quite a distance from Iron Castle, and the speed of travel underground was not fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full day, the dwarf queen and her party finally approached Gray Castle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray Castle was built in a huge underground space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment of the entire Gray Castle was exceptionally harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side of Gray Castle backed against a cliff, and the other three sides were seas of magma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an underground city surrounded by a sea of magma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through a road on the cliff, one could reach Gray Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the cliff, there were also some mine tunnels; these mine tunnels were used to transport ores and other materials needed by the Gray Castle dwarves, and some Gray Castle dwarves would also choose these mine tunnels to enter and exit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the dwarf queen and her party came out of a mine tunnel, they walked into Gray Castle through the road on the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Gray Castle, people were coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow was the day of the meeting of the eight tribes, so many people from the eight tribes had come to Gray Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the dwarf queen and her party appeared, they were noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look quickly, isn't that Ivy, the queen of the Iron Castle tribe? She has also come to attend the meeting of the eight tribes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, the queen of the Iron Castle tribe has always wanted to unify the eight tribes and restore the majesty of the Iron Castle Kingdom. It is said that for this wish, she went everywhere to find something that could melt celestial meteorite iron, attempting to forge the most powerful weapon to make a stunning debut at the meeting of the eight tribes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think she can succeed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Difficult. Celestial meteorite iron has never been melted by anyone. If it were so easy to melt, it wouldn't be a chicken rib. However, this time, the eight dwarf tribes might really be reunified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dwarf said while drinking, revealing a secret piece of news he had accidentally heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Why do you say that? Tell us about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf next to him showed curiosity upon hearing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason is simple. It is said that the Gray Castle leader has forged a weapon that is infinitely close to a divine weapon, and it is very likely capable of cutting the cold iron sword left behind by the last king of the Iron Castle Kingdom. Once it is truly cut, the Gray Castle leader will be able to take over Iron Castle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Gray Castle leader takes over Iron Castle, that would be interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding dwarves began to discuss it one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen, listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the dwarf queen, a female dwarf reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen's expression remained unchanged, and she said: \"It's fine, let's keep walking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weapon infinitely close to a divine weapon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf queen was not worried at all in her heart, because what she was carrying was a genuine divine weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a divine weapon forged from celestial meteorite iron!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personality of the dwarf race is relatively straightforward, without so many twists and turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also simple for the dwarf queen to unify the eight dwarf tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for fighting, wars, or anything like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also no too many conspiracies and tricks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarves hate conspiracies and tricks the most; if you use conspiracies and tricks, you will instead be opposed by all the dwarves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the dwarf queen could forge the most powerful weapon and then cut the cold iron sword left by the previous Iron Castle Kingdom king—that is, her grandfather—she could prove herself, then unify the eight tribes, and become the king of the eight dwarf tribes once again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decades ago, the dwarf queen's father, in order to inherit the throne, also forged a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although that weapon surpassed the weapons of the other seven tribe leaders at the time, it did not cut the cold iron sword left by her grandfather, which led to a failure to convince the masses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why this dwarf kingdom under the Misty Mountains had split!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be a king in the dwarf kingdom, being beautiful is of no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being powerful is also of no use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must have a personally forged weapon that is powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every king of the dwarf kingdom is a top-tier forging master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they are all the most powerful forging masters in this dwarf kingdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they must be more powerful than the previous generation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if it were another dwarf kingdom, even if the succeeding king did not forge a weapon surpassing the previous generation's king, it might not necessarily split like the Iron Castle Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>",1598,"2026-06-16T04:54:04.764Z","2026-06-16T06:25:28.214Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0ab9bd37fe3d565648b71a8cbd13842525547d194aea2c8013d04ab43b203881","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-37","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-35",951,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-starting-from-a-flame-cover.jpg"]
