This was absurd—completely turning logic on its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he joking? How could this even be possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not joking at all,\" Daniel said calmly. \"Although I only spent about a month with him, I taught him quite a few things during that time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, in that short span of time, Daniel had provided Old Flinn with valuable inspiration. The forging insights he shared before leaving were invaluable to Flinn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Daniel said he had taught Flinn a lot, it wasn't boasting—it was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon stared at Daniel with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat! How dare you come here spouting nonsense? No one knows Flinn's abilities better than I do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon was genuinely furious now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Flinn's senior, Dixon had seen Flinn's talent firsthand when they studied forging together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a shame Flinn couldn't become a mage. After reaching middle age, he left the forge behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a mortal, Dixon had always admired Flinn's talent, which was comparable to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Flinn had been able to become a mage, Dixon firmly believed that Flinn would now stand on equal footing with him as a master blacksmith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Dixon, this young man claiming he could teach Flinn anything was utterly laughable—an insult, even!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A kid like you, claiming to be his teacher? You're insulting both him and me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon slammed his hand on the table, shattering it in his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ed, Dixon's apprentice, stepped back in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Ed had seen his teacher so enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Dixon, Daniel's words weren't just an insult to Flinn—they were an indirect insult to himself. And that was something Dixon couldn't tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've got a terrible temper,\" Daniel remarked calmly. \"I once met a master blacksmith who didn't act like you at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon let out a laugh—not out of amusement, but from sheer disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When emotions run high, laughter is often the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So you're saying you learned your skills from this so-called master blacksmith?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right,\" Daniel replied, now sounding a bit dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's the best blacksmith I've ever met. A good man with a great temperament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Then tell me, what's this master's name?\" Dixon asked with a cold sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You probably haven't heard of him. His name is Icarus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icarus was one of the few forging experts Daniel had encountered in his past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had been introduced to Daniel by Rowan during the expansion of Riverside City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel had been pleased with the results of the city's expansion, and Rowan had once mentioned that Icarus was polite and skilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Icarus?\" Dixon's expression changed immediately upon hearing the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't mock Daniel or laugh this time—he fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most people, the name \"Icarus\" would seem ordinary, even forgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to someone like Dixon, it was impossible to hear that name without immediately associating it with one person: Icarus Oren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many in the world knew of House Oren, whose founding patriarch, Oren, had introduced forging theories that benefited countless blacksmiths and even ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very few knew that the man who had initially elevated House Oren to greatness bore the name Icarus Oren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon fell silent, processing what he had just heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what Daniel said was true, then such a scenario wasn't entirely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon began to feel he might have overreacted earlier. Perhaps he should have asked more questions before jumping to conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Dixon said after a pause. \"Let me test you. If you really have the skills you claim, then there will absolutely be a place for you in this forge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine by me,\" Daniel replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon then began testing Daniel, asking him a series of increasingly complex and diverse questions about forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Daniel, the questions were child's play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He answered each one with ease, sometimes even providing more insightful answers than Dixon expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Dixon asked, the more astonished he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ed, who was standing nearby, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the questions Dixon posed were so advanced that even Ed didn't fully understand them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Daniel answered them without a moment's hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ed was still trying to comprehend the questions themselves, Daniel was already explaining the solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap in their abilities was beyond anything Ed had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon felt the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with a hint of hesitation, Dixon asked Daniel about a forging problem that had been troubling him for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel provided an answer effortlessly, and when Dixon followed Daniel's reasoning, he realized it was correct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Dixon's expression shifted completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer doubted Daniel's earlier claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man before him had likely encountered someone extraordinary—someone truly legendary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he possess such profound forging knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he so casually solve even the most perplexing issues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand now. You were telling the truth,\" Dixon said, looking at Daniel with newfound respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I rarely lie,\" Daniel replied plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, Dixon believed him without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Daniel,\" Dixon said, his tone completely transformed. \"What brings you to our forge? Whatever it is, if it's within our ability, we'll make it happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon's abrupt change in attitude left Ed dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't fathom why his teacher had done such a 180, but one thing was clear: Daniel was the real deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's nothing much,\" Daniel said. \"I'm just looking for a place to stay for now. Of course, I'm not the type to freeload—you can assign me some tasks if you'd like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! You've solved one of my biggest problems. Forget freeloading—stay in this forge for the rest of your life if you want! But if you insist, you can work here as a master blacksmith. Just guide these youngsters when you're in the mood,\" Dixon said with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think, Master Daniel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds fine. Thank you, Master Dixon,\" Daniel replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected this outcome at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What started as a simple search for a temporary place to stay had somehow turned into him becoming a master blacksmith at the forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Daniel held a position comparable to Dixon's, free to offer guidance as he saw fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon had granted him complete freedom, knowing that even the smallest piece of advice from Daniel would be a life-changing revelation for the apprentices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Daniel might have encountered the legendary Icarus Oren—the name Dixon would never forget, even in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Daniel didn't know Icarus's last name, the combination of the name and the skills Daniel displayed left Dixon with no doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man had crossed paths with Icarus Oren, the ancestor of House Oren!\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","139b8158d4d27572731405b074fb5b15209ff52c9ec0c41a95f5ccbf54360de3","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-380","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-378",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
