Many manor knights who didn't even know that the old lord had passed away were confused and stayed in the countryside. With the heavy snow blocking the road of communication, they had only now received the latest outside news - the old lord passed away and outsiders settled in the lord. City, the heir to the lord, that is, the new lord, successfully counterattacked alone. After such a complete plot, these knights had no idea what they should do. After hesitating for a long time, they could only write a letter of congratulations and self-blame. He sent a messenger to deliver the letter to his new master, and stated that he would go and formally pledge his allegiance to him in the spring of next year.
And the Great Ajax volcano, the lava area at the foot of the mountain, where dwarves gather, the huge lava lake of red and yellow is churning, releasing almost endless heat, the huge fire element gathers, melting the wind and snow, the heat wave rises, and even The gray clouds covering the sky also poked a big hole, and the sunlight fell straight down, covering this area like a golden beam of light.
Underneath the residential area on the surface, there is the underground core casting area and the heart of the black steel casting furnace.
With the operation of the huge rune machine, the molten iron formed by melting steel flows into each mold according to the prescribed route like an obedient cat, and then is sent to each forging position in turn. Many long-awaited dwarf blacksmiths swing their hammers, These red steels, which are roughly framed by the mold, are tempered into what they should be.
Sets of refined weapons were forged in this way, and piled aside in batches. After waiting for a while, other dwarves quenched them collectively, and finally sent them to the large chambers of commerce in various territories in the North.
And at the forefront of these blacksmiths, on the iron seat that controls this huge rune forge, is an old dwarf with a steel ring on his head and white hair and beard. Wrinkles are piled on his face and body, but he still does not hide his strength. , The strong muscles that seemed to be cast by molten iron supported this body that was not very tall, but very calm.
He originally closed his eyes and sat quietly in his seat, mentally controlling the huge machine under him, but when the huge black steel rune machine shook and trembled, the dwarf seemed to sense something, like golden molten steel. The light bloomed and he slowly opened his eyes.
Ironbodied Morilla, the contemporary leader of the rune dwarves in the North, the tallest cast, this old dwarf known for his toughness and wisdom opened his golden eyes, feeling the inexplicable fluctuations in his heart, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, Pulling countless wrinkles on the face.
"The divine machine... a new divine machine has been awakened..."
Whispering to himself, he slowly stood up, and then ordered to the attendant beside him: "Bring me my hammer."
"Yes! This... big casting, are you going to take action?"
The young dwarf attendant bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him. For the sake of status, and also for the well-deserved and the strongest craftsmanship, every time the dwarf leader with the surname of Iron Body made a move, he must be a top-notch one, and even once. Several legendary weapons were created through his hands.
The young dwarf asked with expectation, but he didn't think he could get the answer.
But an unexpected answer came.
"Yes, this is a promise made to a certain family. It is a contract written into the blood. You cannot go back on it."
Smiling softly, Moria's eyes were blurred for a moment, as if he remembered something from a long time ago. Then, he said solemnly, word by word: "A divine machine, a set of armor, with the skills of a rune dwarf." In name, it's a tribute to the wardens of Chaos, the gatekeepers... and a promise."
And far away.
"Moldavia, the Radcliffes..."
On the west side of the Great Ajax volcano, in the Moldavian territory, the main city built on the river is very lively. The three-thousand-mile-long Maghe River flows straight down the mountain glaciers, leading to the ancient city that runs through the entire northern human empire. The Holy River was then merged into it. With its geographical advantage, the local lord Scarlet family could conduct large transactions at any time regardless of the season without the need for a dragon caravan.
At this time, in the side hall of the lord's palace in the city, the afternoon tea belonging to the nobles had just begun. After listening to the reports of his subordinates, a slender hand picked up the black tea that had been prepared on the small table. It had a violet color. The long-haired girl took a sip, then squinted her eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a long time, she sighed leisurely: "In one month, gold is found in silver. A bloodline has been passed down for three hundred years but has not been cut off. It really has its own merits."
"Ye, help me draft a congratulatory message... Well, be careful with your words, that is a golden warrior, a powerful warrior who can kill another golden warrior just after he advanced."
The other side.
On the other side of the Black Forest, to the north of the Great Ajax volcano, is the Vania Territory.
In the old castle in the mountains, the current head of the Vlad family put down the report in his hand, sent away the spies who sent the information, and sat alone in the study room of the castle, silent.
Finally, a deep and magnetic middle-aged male voice came from the darkness. He seemed to be laughing at himself.
"Achieving gold before the age of twenty-five... It's really amazing."
On the east side of the Great Ajax volcano, at the other end of the Black Forest, is the Wilson home.
With the products in the Black Forest and the ores in the mountains, this family is famous for its magic jewelry and sophisticated weapons. It also owns the largest dragon caravan in the North. With its extraordinary economic strength, this family moved to the North less than two hundred years ago. The emerging family has finally taken root here.
Today, in the west of the main city, the Wilson family meeting room has not been empty since two days ago. The arguments have never stopped. Many people are coming in and out. Their faces are very ugly. Some people are even full of anger and hatred. It's written on your face.
Occasionally, voices came out through the cracks in the door. Words like "compromise," "compensation," "objection," "waging war," "idiot," and "gold" appeared from time to time, and the frequency was very high.
Finally, the debate seemed to reach a final compromise, and the conference room seemed to fall silent.
A girl with gray hair and purple eyes walked out of the room first, followed by many people with the same gray hair. Although she looked a little embarrassed, the girl was full of energy and her eyes were shining.
Because of Joshua's strength and mobility, the entire Northland was spinning, and all forces felt the shock.
And time flies, the star falls in the year 831, November 9th, south of the Great Ajax volcano, in the territory of Moldavia.
It was a snowless day, and the sun was rarely bright. Along with the melodious bells, the church rang the bells to summon the people. Along with the priests and knights running around, most of the people in the city were gathered together. In the central square of the main city, they were talking a lot, but they didn't know why they were staying here.
But after a moment, the answer was revealed.
A soldier wearing armor, with long black thick hair and dark red eyes walked onto the speech platform in front of the square. Behind him was a young girl with silver hair who looked very calm. After watching the audience for a while, After the black crowd suppressed a large group of people, the black-haired warrior nodded with satisfaction, then gathered his fighting spirit and said loudly to everyone:
"Hello my subjects, I am your new lord, Joshua Van Radcliffe."
