My brother needs to go into the mountains to chop firewood, and without this knife, we'll run out of firewood tomorrow…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl clung to Daniel's arm, her pleading eyes leaving him no room to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine. But once the knife is done, take it straight to your brother,\" Daniel relented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay! Thank you, Brother Daniel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl said sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel then lit the forge and began working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand operated the bellows while the other placed the firewood knife into the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he retrieved the red-hot blade and set it on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hammer in hand, Daniel struck the glowing knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythmic hammering filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Daniel's entire being seemed to merge with the hammer in his hand, his movements fluid and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl stood by, watching in awe, completely mesmerized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Daniel finally finished and handed the newly forged knife to her, it was as if she awoke from a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't even noticed the cold gleam emanating from the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All done. Go take it to your brother now,\" Daniel said, wrapping the knife and handing it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl hugged the knife and prepared to leave, but just then, a young man approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on? Why haven't you brought the knife inside yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was the girl's brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, the knife is ready. I had Brother Daniel forge it for us,\" she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man looked at Daniel in confusion, seemingly unable to believe that the knife had been made by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel, meanwhile, was already seated, reading a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man hesitated, clearly skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Daniel had been staying with old Flinn for some time now, but forging? That seemed like a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some villagers had speculated that Daniel might be Flinn's successor, both Daniel and Flinn had denied it every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could Daniel have forged the knife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man gave his sister a doubtful look before unwrapping the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw the blade, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could immediately tell this was no ordinary knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—it was far superior to anything he'd ever used before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back at Daniel, the young man's gaze grew complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't fathom how Daniel's forging skills could be this extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This knife…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlike anything he'd ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he seemed to want to ask something, he ultimately left with his sister without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel set down his book and watched the young man's retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense something unusual about him—something that set him apart from the other villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this young man was a product of the \"training\" the strange visitor had introduced to the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like there's nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe he's just a well-meaning mage,\" Daniel murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of interacting with the mysterious individual in the village.

I grilled something to eat while you were out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn didn't press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, by the way, Flinn, do you have any other books around here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel was getting tired of the one he'd been reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it was a book about forging techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, it was little more than a collection of exaggerated praise for something called House Oren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It claimed that House Oren's forging techniques were unparalleled, bordering on perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel didn't believe a word of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you already finished Forging Legends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty much. It's just a bunch of made-up stories. Do you have anything more practical?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel disliked fabricated tales like the ones in this book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spent most of its pages heaping excessive praise on House Oren, with flowery descriptions that bordered on absurdity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suggest you take another look. That book documents the forging history of House Oren, which is considered one of the best in the world today,\" Flinn said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, it's just a bunch of over-the-top compliments. Some parts are outright ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've never heard of House Oren? If you had, you wouldn't say that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn shook his head, clearly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man didn't understand the significance of House Oren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, if you don't know about House Oren, I'm starting to doubt you're even from the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn's reaction grew more animated as Daniel dismissed the book's claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Daniel's prompting, Flinn began recounting the history of House Oren, his tone filled with reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>House Oren, according to Flinn, was a legendary family known to both mages and commoners alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advancements in the forging world today were largely thanks to House Oren's contributions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't believe me, you should visit Greenstone City—it's the closest town outside the mountains. My former mentor is an apprentice in one of House Oren's branches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn handed Daniel a token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you meet him, you'll understand what true forging looks like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinn's words piqued Daniel's interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was on his way, he wouldn't mind taking a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greenstone City would be his first stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days passed, during which Daniel familiarized himself with the language, writing, and customs of this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been before, he could have learned all of this instantly with mind power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as an ordinary person, he had to start from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slower process of learning gave Daniel a surprising sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Daniel was ready to leave the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to bid farewell to Flinn in a couple of days before setting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one day, a man in a tattered mage's robe appeared, holding the firewood knife Daniel had forged for the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, did you make this knife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's tone was harsh, and his attitude hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear he was an uninvited guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel turned his gaze toward the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This disheveled figure radiated sloppiness, his mage's robe patched in several places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his eyes shone with sharpness, a stark contrast to his unkempt appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","6490e6b28e7525b918ce4b2d6fd89794cb37c4a27ef5cfa029224f5e5089ba78","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-373","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-371",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
