Chapter 124 Forged in Fire and Returning to the Heart

Although there are many things, we must do them one by one and not rush. Today is mainly to get a preliminary understanding of the relatively large territory and meet with my subordinates.

Therefore, after saying hello, Theos asked his men to retreat.

Robbie and others exited the room one by one, but Thoradin did not move.

"Sit down first." Theos pointed to the chair.

"Thank you, Lord."

In the past few years, the fire-forged dwarves have completely belonged to Osfir. On the one hand, this is because under the leadership of Theos, there is no serious racial discrimination here. From Theos onwards, all races are basically the same.

Therefore, it is easier for the dwarves to blend in.

On the other hand, of course, it was also because of Osfir's huge development prospects that they conquered the dwarves. When they first joined, they were originally partners, but as the forces consolidated and grew, the Fireforged Clan had no way to break away from Osfir.

Well, both in terms of willingness and strength.

However, the dwarves have no reason to leave, because, in fact, their lives are better than before.

After all, the average lifespan of 400 years for dwarves still gives them an advantage. Whether it is individual strength or expertise in casting, they are in a relatively comfortable position in Osfir's system.

The tribesmen below lived comfortably, but Thoradin felt increasingly awkward and strange.

It is true that he is already in the first echelon as the head of Osfir's Logistics Department. Even Erso and Robbie cannot be said to be higher than him.

But the embarrassing problem is...Robbie and the others are the blood descendants of Theos. However, Thoradin, Nohir, and a group of races that joined later have not yet been transformed by the blood of Theos.

Theos deliberately did not mention this, but they "outsiders" could clearly feel the awkward atmosphere...

"Could it be that the lord called me here because of the blood descendants?" Thoradin guessed in his mind.

To be honest, he didn't know what to do about this and was very confused.

Seeing Thoradin's preoccupied look, Theos was a little surprised that there would be something wrong if he didn't call him here today.

"Thoradin, was the previous leader of your Fireforged Clan named Poland?"

"I...ah? Poland?" Thoradin was startled.

"The leader of our Fireforged Clan is indeed named Bolan, and to be honest with you, he is still my teacher. But, how do you know, my lord?"

It has been almost a hundred years since Bolan died. Stories about him have basically disappeared in the Xilan Mountains, where races are changing very quickly.

"However, the lord seems to be a very high-level information channel, which is not surprising." Thoradin guessed.

"Haha, according to that, we are quite destined." Theos smiled slightly.

"Actually, I went to Joseph Garden a while ago and happened to meet him. Yes, you are the teacher."

"How is this possible?" Thoradin was shocked.

"Teacher, is he still alive?"

Theos shook his head: "Sorry, no, Poland is dead. He just went to the dwarf country of Joseph Garden as a petitioner."

Next, Theos told Thoradin how he met Poland in detail, including Poland's thoughts and his final choice to lose his memory.

In Theos's description, the image of an old dwarf who, despite being deeply tortured, still cared about his tribe because he hoped to be able to do something one day, appeared in Thoradin's mind.

"He told me that you were his most proud disciple. The day after he lost his memory, I told him about you. Even though he lost his memory of you, after hearing my description, he said he was willing to

I accept you as my disciple..."

After listening to Theos's words, the middle-aged dwarf had two lines of tears on his face, which was full of bruises and grooves.

"Teacher, without you, we fire-forged dwarves would be working really hard..." Thoradin's voice sounded a little crying.

Since Poland, the Fireforged Clan has been targeted by the other two dwarf groups in Hammer City, and was eventually expelled.

You can imagine how difficult it was for them, who were so marginalized by their compatriots, to finally build the Hearth Keep with their own efforts.

"After analysis, Poland and I both believe that the last orc invasion and the fall of Furnace Castle may have the shadow of Hammer City behind it." Theos continued.

Even though I can't bear it, I still have to say what needs to be said.

Whether it was allowing humans and orcs to invade, or expelling the Fireforged Clan northward to serve as a barrier between Hammer City and the orcs, it is difficult to say that there was no malicious intent from Hammer City.

"Warhammer, Frostbeard... Why, why are you so vicious and unwilling to let us go!" Thoradin gritted his teeth. He knew that Theos's speculation was most likely the truth.

At this moment, he was full of anger towards his fellow clansmen in Molten Hammer City. Originally, among the dwarves, unity and trust were the most respected virtues. However, in just two hundred years, the Fireforged Clan could be said to have been betrayed.

His teacher was forced to leave alone and died silently. And his younger brother was also killed by the orcs in this conspiracy spun by all parties.

Thoradin's last goodwill toward his kin in Hammer City disappeared.

"...Their purpose should be to let you consume the orc army, and also want to obtain..." Theos paused.

A golden crown appeared in the hand. It was so exquisite, and the white stars on it gave it a certain charm.

"This is...the crown of the mountain." Thoradin exclaimed. He couldn't care less about the grief and anger he was filled with just now.

As the oldest disciple in Poland, he was certainly familiar with this teacher's most proud work. It was also mentioned in Theos's description just now.

"After Poland gave it to me, I remodeled it again. Now it has no original flaws."

Thoradin was also a fanatic about casting, so how could he not know it at this moment? He stared at this treasure and was immediately fascinated.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said quickly: "Congratulations, lord."

The Crown of the Mountain is already the property of Theos. This is also the teacher's decision. Of course he agrees with it. He is even happy for the new life of the Crown of the Mountain.

"I'm telling you this. On the one hand, it's Poland's entrustment. After all, he and I have become friends during this period of time. On the other hand, it's..."

Theos looked solemn and said sternly: "Melting Hammer City has become the biggest unstable factor in the Xilan Mountains. For the sake of Osfir's future, I have decided that Osfir's next goal is to conquer

Hammer City!"

Upon hearing this, Thoradin did not show any objection.

"The fire-forged dwarf is willing to be Osfir's line forward!"

Theos nodded with satisfaction.

"Besides..." Thoradin seemed to have made up his mind, taking a step forward and bowing to Theos.

"I ask the lord to grant me your noble bloodline!" Thoradin said firmly.

A trace of surprise flashed across Theos's eyes. Unexpectedly, he would subdue the dwarf elder at this moment.

"I can promise you, but are you really sure?"

Becoming the blood descendant of Theos means that life will also be controlled by Theos. From now on, life and death will only depend on Theos' thoughts.

"I'm sure! On behalf of the fire-forged dwarf clan, I would like to thank you for your grace."

Thoradin stood firm in his faith and would not waver again.

He did not say this without purpose. From all angles, this is necessary.

First of all, it is naturally to integrate more into Osfir. At present, it is impossible for the Firecast Clan to leave Osfir. Since it cannot leave, it is better to integrate completely, so as to gain more for the clan.

Secondly, Thoradin has regarded Molten Hammer City as his enemy. In order to get better revenge, he must improve his strength. Erso and others, who were originally much lower in strength than him, have risen to level 14 or 15 in a few years because of the transformation of their bloodline.

.

Finally, regarding the matter of their lives being controlled... In fact, under the current situation, they cannot resist Theos at all.

After thinking through the pros and cons, it is not surprising to make such a decision.

What's more, the lord was so close to his teacher that he was even given the Crown of the Mountain and saved the fire-forged dwarves.

In the past few years, without Theos, the fire-forged dwarves would have been unable to face the orcs' revenge and would have been destroyed.

"Okay, then I will grant you this honor!" Theos nodded.

He generally didn't like to use force, so he was even more happy to receive Thoradin's active allegiance in this situation.

While chanting dragon language, Theos took out a scale he had shed and pressed it to Thoradin's forehead. Then, a drop of hot blood dripped on it.

As Theos' strength increases, the bloodline power and energy contained in his blood become more pure.

Under Thoradin's tenacious will, the painful bloodline transformation process finally passed. Standing here is a brand-new leader of the dwarves.

【Thoradin Firecast】

Race: Dragonblood Dwarf

Level: Level 18 warrior

Feats: Hammer Master, Metal Sense, Relentless Counterattack

Explanation: The great elder of the Firecast Clan, who was less than three hundred years old and in his prime, was transformed by the blood of the golden dragon. His lifespan was greatly increased and his own potential was developed.

If this were a game, then Thoradin would have changed from an elite monster template to a quasi-boss template.

Seeing Thoradin who was more burly, Theos was quite satisfied.

From now on, not to mention the addition of a general, the fire-forged dwarves were finally truly included under his command.
