Swallowed Star: A Universe of Its Own

Chapter 258 Ironforge

Outside Tucson Village, Xu Feng was saying goodbye to the little guy Tuka.

Xu Feng took out a space ring and handed it to Tuka.

"Tuka, I have been living in your house for a while and you have been taking care of me. Consider these gifts as gifts from me, your elder brother."

Tuka quickly postponed and said, "Brother Huolu, it is a great honor for me to host you, the forging master. It will also bring glory to my descendants in the future. How can I accept your gift?"

As he said that, Tuka stuffed the ring back into Xu Feng's hand.

Xu Feng also understood how persistent this simple dwarf was, so he stuffed a note into the ring and said.

"Think about it. These treasures are not only for you, but also for the villagers of Tucson Village. I am now a member of Tucson Village, so I naturally have to make a contribution to the village. I ask you to pass it to Mantu. Just give the ring to Brother Mantu after you leave!"

Tuka was also confused. Why was the gift for the village not given to the patriarch but to his uncle Mantu instead?
However, Dancun Tuka did not think much about it. Instead, he nodded seriously to Xu Feng and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huolu, I will definitely give this space ring to Uncle Mantu!"

Xu Feng repeatedly reminded that Tuka must be handed over to Mantu and not to anyone else. After seeing Tuka's repeated assurances, he left with peace of mind.

There is a set of level 5 force equipment in the space ring, which was enchanted by Xu Feng with the pattern of the earth, so there is no need to worry about revealing Xu Feng's identity as an alien.

After more than 20 years of getting along, Xu Feng also believes in Mantu's character and is determined not to covet the treasures of his descendants.

As for Tuka's future achievements, that is not what Xu Feng should focus on. Everyone has his or her own story and journey.

Tuka looked at the figure of Brother 'Fire' leaving. Even though dwarves were a race that was naturally not sentimental, a sense of loss arose in his heart. More than 20 years of living together had left this young dwarf with some memories, but ordinary memories.

******
That night, he left the Sankar Pit and headed for Ironforge, the center of the underground world.

……

call! "

Underground, Tai Sui's clone kept passing through underground pits and flying towards the center of the earth.

One day is a pit, and with those complicated channels, it is the distance of the earth.

Every time a hole is passed through, the gravity will increase, and every time a hole is passed through, it will cause tremendous pressure on the Tai Sui clone, but thanks to the strong physical fitness of the Tai Sui clone, it can withstand it at the beginning.

Until two months later, when it reached the center of the earth, the pressure on Tai Sui's clone reached 100 times, and the gravity it was experiencing suddenly dropped. Although it was still 10 times the gravity, it no longer affected the movement of Tai Sui's clone.

Xu Feng arrived at his destination, which was the most famous holy place in the world... Dun Morogh Pit.

In the distance, an ancient and huge space appeared in front of Xu Feng. Looking around, it was a huge land covered with snowflakes.

"brush!"

Xu Feng's figure appeared on a huge snow peak like a sword. Standing on the top of the peak, he looked into the distance at the towering snow mountain that almost occupied half of his sight.

Xu Feng looked at the snow mountain with serious eyes. The closer he got to the snow mountain, the more Tai Sui's clone felt a kind call.

At the same time, Xu Feng couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the universe. The core of the underground world was actually a world covered with ice and snow, and the gravity was so small that Xu Feng really couldn't understand it.

Xu Feng released the Fire-Eyed Water Ape clone and activated the Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes!
Dazzling golden light emerged from the highest snow mountain, forming treasures one after another, including many fifth-level force equipment and precious metals, and the core of the earth, but none of them were what Xu Feng needed. The only things that Xu Feng was interested in were those weapons emitting precious golden light and a huge furnace! However, the light of the furnace surpassed that of Qingyu Immortal Mansion!
"really……"

Xu Feng was not too surprised.

According to the records of the dwarves, even the God of Forging can only forge fifth-order Force weapons.

The dwarves' secret method of enchantment can only rely on the patterns of the earth. Although they lack technology and the ideas of countless geniuses in the universe, they are unique. After countless years of accumulation, they can create a treasure, which is already a remarkable thing.

But this also firmly limits the forging limit of the dwarves!
How exactly was that huge furnace forged? It could even produce a golden glow comparable to that of a treasure. This was something Xu Feng couldn't figure out.

"The furnace and the axe are probably guarded by many immortals, so I guess they can't be stolen. The blood awakening ceremony and the forging technology of the God of Forge are my goals!"

The mission points reward is not the most important thing. Even if you complete three missions, the total points are only 77, which is far less than the opportunities hidden behind these mission worlds.

On the highest mountain is the dwarven holy site, Ironforge, where the blood awakening ceremony and the ancestor Tai Sui are all held!

Xu Feng showed a hint of excitement. "I wonder what opportunities Tai Sui's clone can get here!"

"Ironforge? Let me give it a try." Xu Feng smiled slightly. His figure moved and turned into a stream of light, quickly flying towards the huge snow peak in the distance.

The snow-capped peak looked very close, but it took Xu Feng an hour to fly to it. Half an hour later, he discovered that the city gate on the mountainside of the snow-capped peak had fallen down.

"Ironforge!"

The city gate is hundreds of thousands of kilometers high, and above the gate are the three words "Ironforge", which seem to be made up of secret patterns, exuding an eternal breath.

Hundreds of dwarves lined up in an orderly manner in a long queue outside the city gate, and two realm master-level dwarf guards stood at the door, examining every dwarf entering the city through their movements!

Tai Sui's clone waited in a long line and arrived at the gate of Ironforge ten minutes later.

"To enter Ironforge, please show your ID card and pay a piece of C-grade metal, or the Heart of the Earth." One of the realm master-level guard dwarves said in a businesslike manner.

“I don’t know if this proof requires the Heart of the Earth and a birth identity card and payment,” Xu Feng said with a smile.

Xu Feng took out the forging master certificate issued by Tucson Village!
The two dwarves on guard were also shocked when they saw the "Master Blacksmith Certificate". Master Blacksmiths are also extremely distinguished in Ironforge, and they are definitely not something that a small high-level blacksmith guard like them can afford to offend. Moreover, the Master Blacksmith Certificate is also made through special techniques, and there is no possibility of impersonation. The dwarf in front of them can produce a Master Blacksmith Certificate, and with the experience of the two of them serving as Ironforge guards for tens of thousands of years, they naturally have to treat it with caution!
One of the guards said respectfully to Xu Feng, "Sir, as a noble forging master, you naturally do not need to pay the entrance fee. I just ask you to let me check the authenticity of the certificate!"

The guard reached out and took Xu Feng's master forging certificate, and then used a specific secret method to identify the authenticity of the certificate. After confirming that there was no problem, he returned the certificate to Xu Feng and said to Xu Feng respectfully.

"Your Excellency has passed the test without any problems! Ironforge welcomes your Excellency's arrival!"

After receiving the certificate, Xu Feng asked the guard, "This is my first time in Ironforge, and I plan to undergo blood awakening. Do you have a map of Ironforge? Of course, I can pay a piece of D-grade metal as a reward."

When the dwarf guard heard the other party's words, he immediately took out a map!
"You are joking, sir. The map of Ironforge is not worth a piece of D-grade ore. Only a piece of B-grade ore is needed. Moreover, it is given for free to the strong who come to Ironforge for the first time. No payment is required. Please accept it."

"My lord, this is a detailed map of Ironforge. You can sense it by inputting the Force." The dwarf guard said respectfully, "Please remember, after entering the city, all high-altitude flights are prohibited. Low-altitude flights can only be made along fixed streets. The flight speed cannot exceed a million times the speed of light. The divine body needs to be kept below 10,000 kilometers. You can decide the specific details yourself. You are not allowed to engage in battles with other dwarves!"

"Ok!"

Xu Feng and the others nodded, and were allowed into the city.

The situation inside Ironforge is completely different from the desolate scenery outside!
Entering Ironforge, walking on the wide streets and looking around at the large buildings, one is greeted by an ancient and magnificent atmosphere. Every building is a work of sculpture.

The strength of the people coming and going is obviously much stronger than that of other dwarf tribes. There are quite a few realm lords, and domain lords can be seen everywhere.

It’s just that the dwarves in Ironforge and the dwarves in other caves have an inexplicable aura.

There are many dwarves on the road constantly shouting various promotional advertisements!

"Opportunities don't come every day, so you should act when the time is right. If you miss today's good opportunity, the price may double. The boss was so sad that he couldn't sleep all night. Today he came to ask the young man for it. Boss, there is no medicine for regret in the world, so hurry up and buy it if you want to take it."

"The village chief ran away, and the whole village can't pay salaries, so we have no choice but to sell all the goods at a low price. You can buy a third-level force weapon for ten C-grade metals. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Although the shops on both sides of the street were shouting various slogans about selling goods at low prices, Xu Feng, with more than 200 years of forging experience, could tell that the sellers' weapons were indeed genuine and fair goods at the right price.

The price is not exaggerated at all, but it is very reasonable.

But Xu Feng couldn't help but wonder, are the dwarves of Ironforge, who can speak in such a propaganda tone, still as upright and kind as dwarves in other places?
Xu Feng did not apply directly for blood awakening, but planned to go to the Forging Hall to apply for the qualification certificate of the God of Forging first.

Bloodline Awakening is an awakening ceremony held once every 10,000 years in Ironforge. It is held once every 10,000 years when all the dwarves who are eligible to apply for Bloodline Awakening gather together.

According to Xu Feng's understanding in Tucson Village, the last blood awakening ceremony was 6000 years ago.

Xu Feng has only been practicing for more than a thousand years, including having been in the Jiang Lan Realm. Naturally, he is unwilling to wait for thousands of years for the blood awakening ceremony.

Therefore, the most sensible thing to do is to apply for the title of God of Forging first and use your privileges to complete the awakening ceremony in advance!
As for whether Xu Feng’s identity will be exposed?
Xu Feng had already absorbed a bit of dwarf genes through the second talent of Tai Sui's clone, blood evolution.

Xu Feng's current body is no different from that of an ordinary dwarf, so he should not be exposed as an alien.

Even if exposed, he can enter the Black Element Space at the first time. The planets in the underground world are only one light year in size. Tai Sui's clone can enter the Black Element Space at any time, and then the original body can leave the underground world as soon as possible.

Xu Feng came to the forge hall of Ironforge, which was nine stories high and looked very magnificent.

Xu Feng walked into the magnificent building. As soon as he entered the building, a staff member came up to greet him. He was a tall dwarf. The height of the dwarfs was only about 1.2 meters, but this dwarf was 1.5 meters tall, so he was naturally tall.

"Hello, guest. Are you looking for something to forge?" the tall dwarf asked enthusiastically.

"No, I'm here to take the professional assessment for forgers."

"Okay, may I ask what level of forging assessment you are going to take?" The tall dwarf was a little unhappy. Since he was here for the forging assessment, it had nothing to do with him and he would not earn any commission. But he still maintained his professionalism and served Xu Feng seriously.

It should be the assessment from junior to senior blacksmith. After all, this dwarf has just reached the cosmic level and is very young.

"I am going to take the test of the God of Forging." Xu Feng said lightly.

"What? What did you say? The God of Forging's test?"

The tall dwarf was shocked. What was the concept of the God of Forging? You know, the higher you go, the harder it is to become a forger. The God of Forging is a level that many dwarves cannot reach in their lifetime. Many Gods of Forging can only be achieved after reaching the Immortal level. However, this dwarf, who was only at the Cosmic level, actually had to take the assessment of the God of Forging. It was simply shocking.

"Why, can't you do it here?"

"Yes, of course. Please wait for me." The tall dwarf finally came to his senses and trotted into the backstage.

After a while, a dwarf in black armor came over. When he saw Xu Feng, he bowed first.

"Hello, respected blacksmith, are you going to take the test of the God of Blacksmithing?"

The moment he saw Xu Feng, he was also shocked. Oh my god, it was actually a cosmic-level dwarf. A cosmic-level dwarf only has a lifespan of a million years (dwarves have a lifespan a hundred times longer than humans on Earth). He was too young. Such a young God of Forging. You have to know that the youngest God of Forging in history was only a high-level blacksmith (realm master level).

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No problem, of course no problem. However, to obtain the title of God of Forging, you need to show proof of master-level forging and the Mark of the Earth..."

Xu Feng also understood the other party's rules. After handing over the proof, he also used the power of the earth and then revealed the earth pattern on his upper body.

"Oh my god, such a complete earth pattern actually came from a junior blacksmith! This little guy is actually a forging master! Regardless of whether this little guy can pass the assessment of the God of Blacksmiths, he must be reported to the higher-ups!"
