From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Lu Heng carried Su Muyu towards the castle and reminded him on the way: "Before we approach, make sure there is no danger in the castle."

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded in agreement and controlled the reconnaissance eagle to fly closer for a closer look.

The fact that the castle can isolate mental pollution is just Lu Heng's guess, so whether there is danger in the castle is still unknown.

However, when he walked to the castle and saw its appearance, Lu Heng instantly felt relieved.

Because this castle looks familiar.

If there is no second identical castle in the abyss world, then this castle should be called the Quenching Castle. It is a place where weapons can be quenched and the attributes of the weapons can be improved.

However, the Tempering Fort in memory should not be in this place.

I can’t care about so much now.

Lu Heng walked forward with Su Muyu on his back, and the ancient gate of the castle slowly opened.

Looking at the unique building in front of her, Su Muyu's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

Lu Heng looked calm as memories related to this castle appeared in his mind.

After passing through the gate, you enter the vestibule of the castle. In the middle of the vestibule is a spacious stone road with unknown plants planted on both sides.

Some plants also move and look a lot like piranha flowers.

This time.

A short man wearing a black cloak and a cat mask came out of the castle, walked up to the two of them, and made a "chirping" sound.

This should be in some kind of language, but neither Lu Heng nor the two could understand it.

Lu Heng had experience in this situation and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, we are travelers passing by. We hope to rest in the castle for a while."

After hearing this, the dwarf immediately changed into a language that the two of them could understand: "Welcome to Quenching Castle, you can call me Gulu."

This little man who calls himself "Gulu" is only 1.2 meters tall. His whole body is wrapped in a cloak and mask, so his appearance cannot be seen.

In fact.

People who enter the Tempering Fort for the first time may be shocked if they see his appearance.

Because this one-meter-two-meter creature is not a human being, but an abyssal species.

There is more than one kind of creature in the abyss plane, just like there are more than one human beings on the Blue Star.

Not all abyss creatures fight with humans as soon as they come up.

There are also intelligent creatures that can coexist peacefully with humans.

This Gollum is a rather special race, a subspecies of the Abyss Black Iron Dwarves.

At this point in time, other superpowers still don’t know the origin of Quenching Castle.

Lu Heng did know some related secrets.

Quenching Castle was originally a fortress in the abyss plane. It angered an abyss demon king in the original world.

In order to avoid the wrath of the Abyss Demon King, Quenching Castle took the initiative to leave the abyss plane and took advantage of the overlapping space to hide in the gap between the overlapping space of Blue Star and the abyss.

After Quenching Castle hides in the overlapping space, superpowers can enter Quenching Castle from Blue Star.

In order to gain a foothold on Blue Star, Quenching Fort will also provide weapon quenching services for human superpowers, adding energy attributes to weapons.

And the little dwarf in front of him is the Quenching Master of Quenching Castle.

Recalling these things, Lu Heng immediately thought of a possibility: Could it be that the current Quenching Fort has not escaped from the abyss?

Because Gulu stood relatively close, Su Muyu's keen perception had already noticed that the other person was not a human being.

So she was very nervous and kept shaking the clothes on Lu Heng's back with her hands, trying to remind Lu Heng of this matter.

Lu Heng was not nervous at all, and took the initiative to ask: "Can we rest in the castle? Of course, in return, I am willing to do whatever I can for Quenching Castle."

When Gulu heard that Lu Heng was willing to help, he immediately became happy: "Of course, I need your help very much. You can rest in the castle first."

"Do you need any help? I can make some preparations in advance." Lu Heng then asked.

"Of course, the Quenching Fort is lacking some materials now. It would be great if you could find them." Gulu said and began to list several materials that the Quenching Fort needs.

This time.

A mission prompt popped up on the panels of Lu Heng and the two of them.

[Trigger a series of hidden missions: Crisis in Tempering Castle]

[Mission 1: Collect Narnia crystals]

[Content: Due to the use of unstable space crystals, Quenching Castle had an accident when it left the abyss plane and fell into a world swallowed by the abyss. Now Gollum hopes you can collect enough Narnia crystals to use as space stabilizers. 】

[Reward: Gulu’s thank you gift]

[Task 2: Collect combustion-supporting ores]

[Content: Quenching Castle requires a large amount of combustion-supporting ore. Gulu hopes that you can collect enough combustion-supporting ore to provide fuel for Quenching Castle. 】

[Reward: Gulu’s thank you gift]

After seeing the mission, Lu Heng asked: "This kind of Narnia crystal is very precious and is usually guarded by demons. I don't have any weapons right now. Can the Quenching Castle help me quench my weapons?"

According to past experience, the so-called "Gulu's thank you gift" usually means free weapon quenching.

Sometimes, through communication, you can advance rewards and improve combat effectiveness, and then collect mission items.

Gulu spread his hands and said: "Quenching Castle does not have extra energy to start the quenching furnace now. However, you can go to my weapons arsenal and take a look. If there is something suitable, I can lend it to you."

When Lu Heng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Originally, I wanted to temper the iron sword and improve it a little bit.

Unexpectedly, the result was better than expected. I could enter the Quenching Castle's armory to choose.

I figured it out after a little thought.

Now Quenching Castle is in trouble and needs someone to help him. At this time, he is naturally willing to provide better rewards.

So, Lu Heng and the others followed Guru to the armory of Quenching Castle.

There were all kinds of strange weapons in the armory.

Some of these weapons were as small as toothpicks, and some were as big as giants' mallets.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and ran it over these weapons to check their properties.

Finally, his eyes fell on a long sword.

[Aurora Blade]

[Item Level: C-level]

[Specifications: 132 cm long, 3.6 cm blade width, 1.6 kg weight]

[Attributes: Attack Power 30]

[Evaluation: Weapons made of Aurora raw stones, causing blade damage when attacking. Excellent quality, rare sword weapon. When using cold weapons to attack, you can get a strength attribute bonus. 】

The blade of this Aurora Blade is translucent dark blue, as if there is a faint light flowing in the blade, and you can tell at a glance that it is definitely not an ordinary product.

The attack power of the iron sword is only 10 points. With this Aurora Blade, the weapon damage is directly tripled.

In fact, when fighting the gargoyle with the iron sword, Lu Heng felt that the iron sword was not sharp enough and could not break the gargoyle's defense.

If this Aurora Blade is used, the situation will be completely different.

"Is this one okay? With the help of this weapon, I can retrieve more Narnia crystals." Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade and waved it.

When Guru heard that he could retrieve more Narnia crystals, he immediately agreed: "Of course, if you can retrieve three Narnia crystals, this weapon will be given to you."

When Lu Heng heard this, he immediately understood that this was a reward that was reserved in advance.

Then.

Lu Heng picked a bracelet for Su Muyu.

[Energy Crystal Bracelet]

[Item Level: D-Class]

[Specifications: 15 cm long, 7 crystals, 90 g weight]

[Attributes: Spirit +1, Total Source Energy +20]

[Evaluation: A bracelet made of high-quality energy crystals can increase the wearer's mental power and source energy limit. ]

Su Muyu has 5 skill slots, and source energy is often insufficient.

When all skills are learned, the energy is exhausted after using 5 skills.

Therefore, equipment that increases the energy limit is a great improvement for her.

Because the total source energy = 10 × spirit attribute.

This bracelet also adds 1 point of spirit, and the increased energy limit is not only 20 points, but 30 points.

After wearing the bracelet, Su Muyu's current energy limit has increased from 110 points to 140 points, and mental power has also increased from 11 points to 12 points.

After choosing the equipment, Lu Heng and Su Muyu rested in the guest room of Quenching Castle.
