Chapter 40

Finally, the leader of the Gray Castle tribe also spoke.

After having a preliminary understanding of the forging technology of the Sword of Divine Punishment, the disappointment in the heart of the Gray Castle tribe leader also faded a lot.

Because, his defeat was not unjust!

Up to this point, the dwarf queen Ivy's wish to unify the eight dwarf tribes was completed so easily!

Ivy, once again, was king!

However, this time, she was no longer just the queen of the Iron Castle tribe.

But the queen of the entire Iron Castle Kingdom after the unification of the eight dwarf tribes!

Inside the great hall, after Ai Wei was acknowledged by all the leaders of the eight dwarf tribes, she could not hide the excitement in her heart.

Yet, she stood in the middle of the hall, her fingers tightly interlaced, and began to pray.

Yes, she wanted to thank the great Lord of Flame.

Without the help of the Lord of Flame, during this trip to Gray Fortress, she could only have watched helplessly as the Gray Fortress leader severed the Ice Sword!

And Iron Fortress would have changed hands!

Fortunately, none of that happened now!

Things were developing in the best possible direction.

All of this was due to the gift of the Lord of Flame!

Seeing her appearance, the leaders of the other dwarf tribes felt astonished.

"Has the Queen converted to a new god? Ever since Iron Fortress split, our tribes have stopped believing in the God of Forging."

A leader of a dwarf tribe said.

"Indeed, for some reason, the God of Forging never responds to us. Even the prince of King King Ailu did not receive the blessing of the God of Forging. Such a god is not worth believing in."

Another dwarf tribe leader said.

Their words actually brought out a secret.

Once, the underground dwarf kingdoms of the Misty Mountains all believed in the God of Forging.

The God of Forging had indeed given them some revelations.

But for over fifty years, the God of Forging seemed to have disappeared.

Even the father of Dwarf Queen Ai Wei did not receive the blessing of the God of Forging!

Ai Wei’s father’s faith at the time was quite firm, yet he never received a response from the god. Her father’s failure might not have been unrelated to this matter.

After the Iron Fortress Kingdom split, the God of Forging was no longer worshipped by most tribes.

Only Gray Fortress still believed in the God of Forging, but this faith was constantly fading as time passed.

This was normal.

If a god ignores their believers for a long time, why should the believers remain loyal to them?

It would be better if this were a purely godless continent!

But this was a continent where everyone knew for a fact that gods existed!

Moreover, this God of Forging did not even have his own church!

"Queen, can you tell us how you melted the Celestial Meteorite!"

A dwarf leader, seeing that Ai Wei had finished praying, finally could not suppress his curiosity and asked.

Not only was he curious, but the other dwarf leaders, including the Gray Fortress leader, were equally curious.

"Do you have Celestial Meteorite on you?"

Dwarf Queen Ai Wei asked.

That dwarf leader shook his head.

"I have some here!"

The Gray Fortress leader spoke up.

The Gray Fortress leader quickly had someone bring over a piece of Celestial Meteorite!

Dwarf Queen Ai Wei placed the piece of Celestial Meteorite on the sword-testing platform and then began to pray.

Following her prayer, a flame drifted out from nowhere and landed on the piece of Celestial Meteorite!

As soon as this flame appeared, the leader of the Misty Tribe exclaimed: "Heavens, this is Lava Fire!"

Immediately, he looked puzzled: "No, it doesn't look quite right; Lava Fire doesn't have such a high temperature!"

The Misty Tribe was adjacent to the lava reservoir of that volcano, and there happened to be a Lava Fire inside.

Their tribe had once used fire crystals to lure that Lava Fire to help them melt some special materials.

The temperature of that Lava Fire was already quite high, reaching nearly three thousand degrees.

But it was far from the temperature displayed by this Lava Fire.

And when this Lava Fire melted materials, the speed seemed particularly fast!

Then the Misty Tribe leader saw that the Celestial Meteorite was rapidly melting under the burning of that flame.

"What kind of flame is this? It's so powerful."

"My god, it really melted. This flame is too powerful, Queen, where did you get it?"

"Yes, if I had such a flame, perhaps I could also forge a divine weapon."

"..."

This Lava Fire that melted the Celestial Meteorite made many tribe leaders so shocked they almost jumped up!

Such a flame was simply too powerful!

These dwarf tribe leaders were all master blacksmiths; they understood too well what such a flame meant for them!

You must know, what was their purpose in building an underground city in the Misty Mountains?

Wasn't it to utilize the temperature of lava and some rare items within it to forge weapons?

And this Lava Fire was better than all the wonders they had ever seen!

If they had the help of such a flame...

Then their achievements would far exceed what they were now!

No wonder they were so shaken!

"Why do I feel that this flame possesses divinity? Could this be a flame sent down by a god?"

At this moment, a dwarf said suspiciously.

Dwarf Queen Ai Wei wore a look of piety and said softly:

"This is the flame bestowed by my god, the great Lord of Flame!" ===== CHAPTER 98 =====

"Lord of Flame!"

A dwarf chanted.

Dwarf Queen Ai Wei said: "Correct, it is indeed the Lord of Flame!"

The faith of the dwarf tribes was not hard to come by!

Dwarves have straightforward personalities.

Direct and decisive!

Just like this time, such a major event as the reunification of the eight tribes was decided without any hesitation.

The reason was simple: the Dwarf Queen’s forging skills had gained their recognition!

And after the Lava Fire bestowed by the Lord of Flame upon the Dwarf Queen caused a sensation, these dwarves were already very tempted.

Coupled with the fact that even Queen Ai Wei believed in the great Lord of Flame, these dwarf tribe leaders immediately decided to contribute their faith to the Lord of Flame.

Even the Gray Fortress tribe did not offer much resistance!

The Gray Fortress tribe’s faith in the God of Forging had basically remained at a verbal level.

In fact, in recent years, hardly anyone had mentioned the God of Forging.

The news of the reunification of the eight dwarf tribes quickly spread throughout the eight tribes.

Then, it was the Dwarf King’s coronation ceremony. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
