When the Dwarf King Orfg said that Chen Rui was a half-elf, the fatty, Ina and the others were surprised. Only Samuel didn't think so. His Royal Highness had the purest Roland royal bloodline and the owner of the Body of Light Blessing. How could he be a half-elf?
However, the black-bearded Taklin's last sentence made everyone feel relieved. That's right, this appearance really doesn't look like a half-elf.
"The hill dwarves are known for their honesty and straightforwardness. I believe that Your Highness will not wrongly accuse an innocent person and let the real thief hide in the corner and laugh."
Chen Rui's "Mind Language", which could only be heard by the target and had no communication barriers, made the Dwarf King slightly surprised, but it was only for a moment. He quickly regained his calmness, "Human, how can you prove that you're innocent?"
Chen Rui continued to convey his thoughts in < Analytical Eyes >, "I need a special place where I can prove it to Your Highness and the hill dwarves alone. If I can't prove it, I'm willing to accept any punishment from the hill dwarves, even being punished as a thief! If I can prove myself, Your Highness, please allow us to go to Garton City through the Black Rock Mountain … "
"Are you sure you can prove your innocence?" When Orfg said this, he was already using the common language. The Iron Shield mercenary group and the people from the church understood.
The fatty didn't know what Chen Rui and Orfg said in the conversation. When he heard the words "prove my innocence", he was the first to jump out, "I'm the Priest of Gudan Town, the Servant of Light. This identity alone can prove my innocence!"
Elder Aska, who was at the side, said, "From the moment you walked into this palace today, you only have one identity, the captives of the dwarves! To the dwarves, members of the Church of Light and ordinary humans are no different. Perhaps you can threaten them with a race war, but the prerequisite is that you have the power. "
The fatty suddenly stopped talking. He was just a small Priest of a kingdom. The hill dwarves had a lot of interests in the human race, including the church. Once it escalated to a serious conflict, the church would definitely sacrifice an insignificant pawn like him.
Orpheus ignored the fatty and stared at Chen Rui. "Can you represent everyone? I don't have the patience and time to check your so-called 'proof' one by one. If you fail, then you will all be treated as a thief … or at least a thief's accomplice. "
Everyone was shocked, and Fatty glanced at Chen Rui. They had already signed a contract, and at this critical juncture, this partner would not harm others or himself. He gritted his teeth, "Richard, my friend, I choose to trust you unreservedly!"
Ina looked at Samuel. Samuel purposely pondered for a moment, then nodded and said in a low voice, "I think we can trust him. They are in a hurry to go to Garton City. If he can't prove it, he will lose his life."
"Yes." Ina was actually a little surprised. To be precise, it was a woman's intuition — Samuel seemed to have a special trust in this' Richard '. When Samuel almost had a conflict with Takelin, it was also' Richard's' words that made Samuel calm down quickly.
Although many of the surrounding mercenaries were suspicious of 'Richard', the deputy leader was right, and the leader had no objections, so they did not have any objections.
"Very well." Orpheus saw the situation and nodded. "Then, where do you want to prove it?"
Chen Rui 'mentioned' a place from < Analytical Eyes >. Orpheus was surprised, but he finally nodded.
"Alright, let me remind you first. Don't try to play any tricks. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you a chance … the only chance." The Dwarf King immediately ordered, "Elder Askar, come with me to take a look at this human's so-called proof. Takelin, Borrot, stay behind to greet the guests and give them a certain amount of courtesy. If that proof doesn't satisfy me, then this' courtesy 'will become the treatment of a prisoner. "
Takelin and Borrot bowed their heads and accepted the order. Orpheus glanced at Chen Rui and turned to walk out of the hall with Askar. Chen Rui nodded to the fatty and the others and followed.
The three of them walked all the way and came to a huge building.
The name of this huge building was "House of Sparks of the Irontree". Although it was called a "house", in fact, "hall" or "hall" could not describe its vast scale.
Chen Rui was an otaku who lived for more than 20 years in his previous life. He learned about the entire Colossal World through the internet. After transmigrating and being reborn, he traveled around the Demon Realm for 3 years (including the training room of the Super System, it was a few hundred years). He had a lot of experience. However, when he entered this building, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
The "huge" building outside was actually just the "head" part of the "house" that was exposed above the ground. The real "body" was underground.
Looking down from the top, it was at least hundreds of meters high. The entire underground seemed to be brightly lit. Although it was almost dawn outside, he could still see busy dwarves on the first floor. From time to time, there were clanking sounds of knocking and various sounds similar to the turning of large machinery.
This was the real "House of Sparks of the Irontree", the smelting and forging center of the hill dwarves. It was an underground world.
Chen Rui had never seen such a large-scale forging site. Such a majestic scene might not be able to be created even in magic movies, but all of this was really happening in front of him.
Listening to the endless "clanking" sounds and feeling the strong visual impact, a special impulse suddenly surged from his heart. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling. Even though Chen Rui's current strength was equivalent to the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, it was difficult to suppress this strong emotion that was about to break out of his body.
The dwarves who were forging at night turned a blind eye to the arrival of Orfg. They did not salute but continued to focus on forging. The King of Dwarves was also used to it. From this detail, it could be seen the emotions and attitude of the hill dwarves towards forging.
Orfg stopped, turned his head and said coldly to Chen Rui, "The forging room was not one of the places that was set on fire yesterday. Human, I'd like to see how you can prove to me in this place!"
Chen Rui ignored Orfg. He glanced around and finally stopped in front of a forging table in the distance. He took a deep breath and walked over slowly.
At first, his steps seemed a little cautious. Soon after, he gradually became relaxed. With every step, the breath on his body changed a little. When he walked to the forging table, both Orfg and Aska had an illusion as if humans had integrated into this special world that belonged to the dwarves.
Chen Rui looked at the facilities around the forging table. He slowly touched it and adjusted the position of some things. Then, he picked up the big hammer that dwarves could only hold with both hands with one hand and did a strange thing: He threw the hammer up high, caught it, then threw it up again. He did this repeatedly.
While he was throwing and catching the hammer, the fire in the furnace started to burn. A piece of glittering silver iron ore that was prepared began to heat up. One of Chen Rui's hands was facing the flame as if he was warming his hands because of the cold.
"Pretentious!" Orfg frowned. As he was about to step forward, a hand suddenly stopped him. It was Aska, the well-respected elder of the hill dwarves, a senior forging master, and also his first teacher.
"Continue to watch, my king." Watching the human's simple action of throwing and catching the hammer, the white-bearded dwarf's eyes flashed with an incomparably solemn light.
From the human's steps towards the forging table, the white-bearded senior forging master sensed something strange. Everything the human was doing was familiarizing himself with the unfamiliar environment and the relatively unfamiliar tools. He was putting the tools in their most familiar positions.
Aska could clearly feel that every time the hammer was thrown down, the aura and undulations of the surrounding environment would change subtly. This human had not only fused with the underground world, but was also using a special power, or perhaps it should be called a "concept", to affect and affect the entire underground world.
This time, the falling iron hammer was finally held tightly. It wasn't thrown up again. Instead, it was raised high and pounded on the Glittering Silver Iron Ore that was clamped onto the platform. The already red iron ore splashed out brilliant sparks and emitted a crisp sound.
Hammer after hammer carried a strange rhythm. The simple hammering sounds seemed to be able to affect one's soul.
The clanking sounds gradually stopped, and so did the mechanical noises. The dwarves, who did not stop forging even after the arrival of the monarch, slowly gathered around and focused their attention on the human who was standing on the forging table and pounding the ore with dwarven tools.
The dwarven blacksmiths, who were extremely skilled, held their breaths at the same time, and their eyes glowed. Master Aska, in particular, stared at Chen Rui's every move, afraid that he would miss a single detail.
At this moment, Chen Rui had forgotten everything. He forgot about his original plan and the so-called proof of his innocence. Instead, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the wonderful throbbing he felt when he entered the underground world.
This was a kind of throbbing that belonged purely to a blacksmith. It could be said that it was driven by the special breath of this underground world. It could also be said that it had always existed in Chen Rui's heart, and it just burst out at the right time.
In an instant, the figure of his teacher Tetenis waving the hammer appeared in Chen Rui's mind, then the Chief Tauren and Master Anderson … The movements of his hands also changed with his thoughts. It changed from turbulent and intense to big and big, and then became as fine as rain. It seemed to be contradictory and confused for a while.
In the repeated pounding, these insights gradually overlapped, and they were constantly fused and changed in the honing and tempering, just like the glittering silver iron ore that was constantly being refined. The firmness and confidence in Chen Rui's eyes became stronger and stronger, and his movements began to enter a smooth and flowing rhythm. This was not the tauren, Tetenis, or other masters, but Chen Rui's own feeling.
It was just like what he once said to Samuel: Comprehend your own path.
What Olfg was most proficient in was fighting, not forging. After all, he was a hill dwarf with forging "blood". Although the human's "proof" was not finished, the Dwarf King had already understood.
