Chapter 456

"Yes."

The Dwarf King did not hide his purpose. After admitting it straightforwardly, he continued:

"I won't hide it from you. After seeing you purify the evil god pollution on my hands, I have actually been wanting to invite you. Not only to the Crucible, but what I want most is to invite you to Nidavellir (the dwarf kingdom) to help me purify some of the hidden pollution that Nidavell is facing."

Having said that, the Dwarf King paused for a moment, and a rare smile appeared on his bearded face.

"It may be the blessing of the dwarf god. Before I could even ask, you took the initiative to ask to take our dwarf airship back to Earth."

Hearing this, Ailin spread his hands helplessly, "So I am offering myself to you, right?"

"No, all this can only be said to be destined."

After shaking his head, the Dwarf King looked at the Dwarf and said solemnly: "I know that it is a bit shameful and unreasonable for me to explain all this to you after you get on board, but this is the safest way for us Dwarves."

Because he was worried that if he told her in advance, Arryn would give up his decision to return to Earth on the Furnace.

So the dwarf king kept the truth to himself and did not reveal it.

It was not until the Crucible had left Asgard and cut off Arryn's escape route that the Dwarf King confronted Arryn.

Ai Cui knew that what he did was despicable and shameless.

But for the sake of the dwarves, he... is willing to bear this shamelessness.

This was beyond the Dwarf King's expectations.

After revealing his cards, Ailin was not as angry as Ai Cui had imagined.

【I see. 】

[No wonder the divination I gave Tony before leaving Asgard was "good luck mixed with bad luck."]

[Xiong must be talking about his experience on the Forge or in the Dwarf Kingdom. Then...what about Ji? ]

Before leaving Asgard, Arryn divined for Tony the crisis he might encounter this time.

Of course, compared to the temptation of returning to Earth quickly, these dangers were not unbearable for Ailin.

And even if we don't return to Earth on the Ein airship this time.

It didn't seem safe to stay in Asgard any longer.

After divination showed that the result of leaving Asgard by the dwarf airship was "good luck mixed with bad luck", Aelin also divined what the result would be if he continued to stay in Asgard.

The result of that divination was "good luck mixed with bad luck".

On the degree of danger.

Not necessarily leaving Asgard in a dwarf airship
So, after some thought, Ailin finally decided to take the ride on the Furnace.

·······
Looking at Ailin who remained silent.

The dwarf king's heart seemed to be sinking into an abyss.

The dwarf king was not afraid of Arryn's anger. He had thought of all this after he made his decision.

So in order to appease Arryn's anger, the Dwarf King prepared a lot of arguments and countless precious promises.

But now Arryn's silence made the dwarf king, who was ready to bear Arryn's anger, a little scared.

He wasn't afraid of Aelin.

But he was afraid that Ailin had a backup plan and could leave the Furnace, so he would just leave without caring about the Furnace.

By then, those in the Dwarf Kingdom who have been polluted and influenced by the evil god will lose their last hope.

【no. 】

[I can't let that happen. I must convince Master Ailin to help the Dwarf Kingdom survive this disaster.]

Thinking of this, the Dwarf King quickly said, "I know that what I did was despicable, but I will not let Master Arryn's hard work be in vain. Regardless of whether Master Arryn can solve the strange incident on the Crucible and the disaster facing Nidavellir, I will prepare a generous gift for Master Arryn."

"Of course, if Lord Arryn can solve the strange incident on the Crucible, then when I forge the ancient Vulcan finger bone for Lord Arryn, I will use the last small piece of [Sun Core] in Nidavellir's inventory to make the ancient Vulcan finger bone into the most powerful fire artifact."

"And if Lord Arryn can resolve the disaster facing Nidavellir, I will open the treasury of the Dwarven Kingdom and allow Mage Arryn to take three artifact materials or three artifacts from the treasury."

Ok? ? ?
Ailin, who was originally thinking about how the Dwarf King would calm his anger, heard the reward promised by the Dwarf King.

The slight dissatisfaction in his heart was directly soothed by the Dwarf King's generous "money ability".

Although the artifacts defined by the dwarves are not real artifacts, they are semi-artifacts like the [Angel Scepter] and [Thor's Hammer].

But for Ailin, this reward was generous enough.

and.

Don't forget that the Dwarf King had promised to give Arlin a small spaceship.

Ailin, who had already accepted the dwarf king's apology, did not respond to the dwarf king immediately. Instead, he asked thoughtfully, "What does the [Great Sun Core] mean? Why can the Vulcan Finger Bone be made into the most powerful fire artifact after adding the [Great Sun Core]?"

Seeing Ailin speak, the Dwarf King, who was relieved, immediately explained:
"The [Core of the Sun] is the most important treasure of our dwarven tribe. It is the last trace of fire essence left after a star goes out. If it weren't for the characteristics of the [Core of the Sun] that it can only be used as an auxiliary material, we might be able to create a fire artifact with the [Core of the Sun] alone."

"In fact, the sacred artifact of our dwarves, the Fiery Sun Furnace, has the temperature that can melt other sacred artifacts only after the [Core of the Sun] is added."

"Well, in addition to the terrifying temperature, the [Great Sun Core] also contains a huge amount of fire energy. The small flame furnace on the Furnace actually adds a small part of the [Great Sun Core] to power the Furnace."

"With the [Great Sun Core], plus the characteristics of the Fire God's Finger Bone itself, the combination of the two will definitely be able to enhance its characteristics to a higher level."

After hearing the dwarf king's explanation.

Ailin instantly knew what the [Core of the Sun] was.

It is said that it is the last trace of fire essence left after a star goes out.

But if the star really goes out completely, the [Core of the Sun] will no longer exist.

Only during the period when a star has gone out but has not yet completely cooled down, is it possible to find the [Core of the Sun] in the core of the star.

I didn't expect that the dwarves could get such good stuff.

The lifespan of a star is tens of billions of years, and it is not easy to encounter such a star.

"I see."

With an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, Ailin pondered for a moment and said, "I can try to solve the strange incident on the Forge, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed."

"As for the Dwarven Kingdom of Nidavellir, I can also help, but if I can really help, I don't want any artifacts. If possible, I hope the Dwarves can help me transform my home into a war fortress."

War fortress?

After hearing Ailin's request.

The Dwarf King's heart sank.

War fortresses that were created purely for the battlefield often far outweigh warships of the same size in terms of lethality and destructive power.

In fact.

In Avengers 4, the large space battleship that Thanos invaded the Earth with was a war fortress. If Captain Marvel hadn't arrived at the most critical moment and activated the star destroyer mode, destroying Thanos' war fortress.

The Avengers were completely suppressed by the War Fortress' annihilation mode at the time, and they might not even have time to wait for Iron Man to snap his fingers before being annihilated by the War Fortress's covering fire.

Although the dwarves have the technology to build war fortresses, they do not have a second war fortress except the star fortress guarding the dwarf royal court.

After all, the manpower and material resources required to build a war fortress are actually far more than that of a space battleship.

Looking at the dwarf king who fell into silence.

Ailin's mind turned, and he immediately sensed some of the dwarf king's emotions.

Ailin understood the dwarf king's concerns and immediately shook his head and said, "Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty Aitri. I just hope that the dwarfs' technology can transform my home into a castle with flying capabilities and strong defensive firepower. I don't want the dwarves to help me build a large-scale war fortress that can travel across the universe."

The meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step.

Ailin had never thought of transforming his home into a fortress that could travel across the stars in one go.

Under the current circumstances.

If his own home could have the same attack power as the SHIELD's helicarrier, Ailin would be satisfied.

Aerospace carrier attack power.

The defense of the magic castle.

Short-distance space jumps, and occult concealment.

Plus the ability to fly.

If he could really transform his home into such a war fortress, then Ailin's safety on Earth would be guaranteed to a great extent.

And after listening to Ailin's supplement.

The Dwarf King also breathed a sigh of relief.

If we just transform the Arlin family into a castle with flying capabilities and defensive firepower, then the difficulty and cost will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"That being said, we can still do this."

"However, the cost-effectiveness of doing so is very low. Are you sure you want to do this?"

No matter how strong a house is, it cannot compare to a war fortress made of steel.

In addition, the house must be able to fly.

In the Dwarf King's opinion, it would be simpler to build a similar small war fortress for Arryn.

but.

As soon as the dwarf king finished speaking, Ailin shook his head and said:

"My house is a little special. It is a special magic house with strong defense and some special abilities. That's why I want to transform it."

The Dwarf King: "If that's the case, then I have no problem with that. But because Master Ailin's home is on Earth, I may have to send the best craftsmen to Earth to help you renovate the house."

"Of course, Lord Arryn, rest assured. When I send them to Earth, I will let them bring enough rune cannons and weapons to help Master Arryn transform their homeland."

Ailin smiled and said, "That's enough."

·······
After the deal was negotiated.

The relieved dwarf king looked at Arryn and asked, "Master Arryn must have seen the situation on the Crucible. So, how does Master Arryn plan to solve the strange incident on the airship next?"

The strange events on the Crucible are not urgent, but they are imminent.

After all, these people are now floating in the vast starry sky.

If anything serious happens on the Furnace, all of them will suffer.

"Don't worry, I've figured out a way."

·······
Ok.

Ailin did not use any complicated methods to explore the truth of the strange incident on the Forge.

He just chose the simplest and most brutal solution.

After returning to the control center of the Forge with the Dwarf King, Ailin asked the Dwarf King to drive everyone out of the control center.

Ok.

In the end, Ailin drove out the dwarf king as well.

After driving everyone out.

Ailin, pretending to be meditating, entered the Libra space and "borrowed" a projection of the [Civilization Treasure·Eternal Lighthouse] from the Libra space.

As a treasure of civilization, the Eternal Lighthouse naturally has the effect of cleansing the soul, purifying pollution, and alleviating madness.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the enemy of the evil god.

Although it was just a projection, Ailin believed that the power of the civilization artifact was enough to help him solve the strange incidents on the Furnace.

Before, Ailin didn't want to expose the existence of the Eternal Lighthouse, but now, as soon as he got on the airship, Ailin was targeted by a strange existence, and he had to summon the projection of the Eternal Lighthouse.

After all, Ailin didn't want anything to happen to him in this vast starry sky.

·······
Looking at the phantom of the Tower of Eternity in his hand.

Ailin, who had used up most of his mental energy to summon the projection of the Tower of Eternity, looked a little pale.

But Ailin couldn't care about his own consumption at this time.

The moment he summoned the projection of the [Civilization Artifact: Eternal Lighthouse], Ailin felt a strong malice falling on him from the Crucible.

To avoid accidents.

Ailin directly guided himself with his will and used the knowledge of Earth civilization in his mind as fuel to light the light projected by the [Civilization Treasure·Eternal Lighthouse].

"The fire of civilization, burn!"

Accompanied by Ailin's sharp shout.

There seemed to be an invisible and inexplicable power flowing out of Ailin's body, and then gathered on the wick of the projection of the [Civilization Treasure·Eternal Lighthouse].

Use the light of civilization as fuel and the power of spiritual will as guide.

The light of civilization, pulled by an unknown force, began to rub around the wick.

It's sizzling!

With a slight sound, the wick on the projection of the [Civilization Treasure·Eternal Lighthouse] was directly lit up by the light of Earth civilization involved in Ailin's body.

Then, a warm, bright light radiated from the projection of the [Civilization Treasure: Eternal Lighthouse] in Ailin's hand, spreading out in all directions.
