When the last door opened, more than seven hours had passed since they came in. However, the false god did not make any movement.
Behind the door was the end of the canyon. There was no more road ahead, but a doorway appeared on the mountain wall leading deep into the mountain.
"This should be the end of the trial. Your reward should be waiting for you inside." Xiao Chen said to Farrell.
"Xiao Chen, and Luo Ling, I have to thank you. If you hadn't brought me from Suero to the Tower of China, I wouldn't have been able to make it to where I am now. I never thought that one day I would be able to stand in this place like the best forgers that appeared in the Dwarf Kingdom in the past. Thank you! Thank you!"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I hope you feel that I have fulfilled my promise to you."
"Of course, more than I thought."
"Let's go and see what your ancestors left for you."
Xiao Chen divided the team into two parts. Huang Zheng led two platoons of the Marine Corps to guard the door, ready to respond to any false gods that might appear at any time. The remaining platoon of more than 30 soldiers, carrying light weapons, followed him into the cave.
This cave was large and deep, but it was obviously dug by humans. The surrounding walls were built into a square shape, and lighting crystals were inlaid on both sides. Xiao Chen led everyone forward about a hundred meters and came to a spacious hall with bright lights.
There was a rectangular wall about seven or eight meters long and two or three meters high standing in the middle of the room. The wall was white and looked like jade. From the side, it was not thick, only about one finger wide. There was nothing on the wall, and it looked crystal clear. There was a metal base under the white wall, on which were carved some magic arrays and lines, which seemed to provide it with energy.
From Xiao Chen's perspective, this didn't look like a magic prop passed down from ancient times. Instead, it looked like a large display screen in a control center or spaceship in some science fiction movies.
"This should be the forging wall, right?" Xiao Chen said.
Sure enough, when they walked to the white wall, the voice sounded again, and he said: "Trialists from the Dwarf Kingdom, you can come this far, which means you have considerable forging strength. In front of you is the Forging Wall. It contains various amazing forging inheritances. Each of you has the opportunity to ask a question. If the Forging Wall gives you an answer, that is the inheritance you have obtained. If not, it means that you asked a wrong question. After hearing the answer, the Forging Wall will become dim. Then you should leave here, but you must keep secret any tests you encounter in the trial land from anyone.
May the god of forging bless you."
Farrell and the other forgers excitedly approached the wall and were about to ask questions, but Xiao Chen stopped them with his hand.
"Xiao Chen? What's wrong?" Farrell asked curiously.
"Don't you think the style of this wall is very special? It doesn't look like something passed down from the Dwarf Kingdom at all. And the Spirit Tower seems to have made some discoveries." Xiao Chen asked Crystal beside him, "He Jin, what do you think?"
For a long time just now, the black and white crystals remained silent, but in front of the white wall, the crystals moved forward and circled around the white wall.
"This is something from the Forging Tower. I'm not too familiar with the Forging Tower. My impression is that this should be an information exchange terminal of the Forging Tower Library, which is specially used to search for information on forging." He Jin said, "I didn't expect that this thing used to search for information in the library was taken out by those dwarves and used as a forging wall to pass on knowledge."
Glade walked up and said, "You are right. This is a data retrieval system. The mages of the Tower of Forge will use it to search for various data. This thing should have simple intelligence and can answer some questions. The so-called inheritance of the forger may be to retrieve some data for the dwarves to read."
"But why do I hear that some people go crazy after inheriting the power?" asked Mei Tiantian.
Xiao Chen said: "It's easy to become a madman or be considered a madman by others if you study too many things that are ahead of your time."
The black and white crystal flew to a corner below the screen, emitting a bright light that illuminated a nameplate. Xiao Chen leaned over to take a look and saw that it said: Spiritual Network Type 7 Magic Energy Large Display Screen.
"If it's just an information terminal, why would the dwarves put it in this mysterious place? And they stipulate that it can only be used once every several years," Xiao Chen asked.
He Jin said: "Right now the big screen is in a state of extremely low energy. I guess if it answers a few questions from the dwarf forgers, it will go into hibernation due to lack of energy. After the dwarves leave, it can slowly absorb energy and recover to a state where it can answer questions. However, this terminal must have encountered a problem with replenishing energy, otherwise it would not be possible to charge so slowly."
Glade said, "It's a problem with the charging array below. The dwarves moved it out of the Forge Tower, but they didn't bring out the matching energy supply system. The arrays below that absorb energy from the air were all drawn by the dwarves themselves. Not only are the effects very poor, but the compatibility with this system is also very low, so this terminal has been in a half-dead state."
The dwarf blacksmiths were stunned when they heard their conversation. Although they did not understand all the conversations between Xiao Chen and the others, they understood the inheritance that they valued. It seemed that it was just an ordinary thing in the Forging Tower, which was a little unbelievable.
Farrell understood the most clearly. He asked, "Are you saying that the inheritance of the God of Forging does not exist? It's just some things that leaked out of the Forging Tower Library?"
Glade said, "Yes. You can go and look at the nameplate and you will know that I am not talking nonsense. Those things should be just some ordinary information for the Tower of Forge. However, what you learned in the Tower of China may not be worse than what you can find here."
"Since this is a terminal, where is the database?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course it's in the Forging Tower." He Jin replied, "In the Seven Towers era, such equipment was connected wirelessly through a data transmission array. Such equipment is usually used in libraries and cannot be too far away to transmit information. Therefore, the Forging Tower should be nearby. According to my perception, it should be behind the wall directly behind the screen. It's just that the energy of the Forging Tower seems to be even scarcer than it was at that time, and even the tower spirit has fallen asleep. Since arriving in this world, I have been calling it in the way that tower spirits call it, and I have called it several times but there is no response."
"Yes, I think it's there too. I can always feel its breath." Glade also said.
Xiao Chen looked away from the screen and towards the wall behind the room. There was indeed a very thick door. (To be continued)
