Dragon King from Another World

Wandering in this world of red and black, you can feel the rich history accumulated over thousands of years.

The roads in Darkforge are paved with black square tiles, which are very flat and comfortable. Xiao Rui and the two looked around as they walked, and there were almost clanking sounds at the doors of the black brick houses along the way. Even in residential areas, apart from the taverns with signboards, the most common ones are huge bellows and anvils.

Although they were not in a hurry, Xiao Rui and the others did not stop too much. Their purpose was very clear, to get to the palace and get the pass to the ground.

After walking for a full hour, the number of black brick houses around gradually became less and less, and a huge black palace appeared in front of them.

It was more like a larger blacksmith's shop than a palace, for the sound of the hammering anvils did not diminish.

Arriving at the steps in front of the palace, there were guards in black armor standing on both sides of the gate. They were all covered with only two majestic eyes exposed.

It can be seen that everything from armor to weapons is made of black iron. There is no doubt that their combat effectiveness is good.

"Stop, who are you?"The two guards asked, crossing their spears.

"We are human beings who mistakenly entered the treasure land and need to take a way back to the surface. We are here to visit King Thoridin."Xiao Rui said with fists in his hands.

"Wait here until I go to report!"One of the guards trotted towards the palace.

About a quarter of an hour later, the departing guard came back and said:"King Thoridin is currently studying ancient artifacts. It is inconvenient to receive guests. Please go to the tavern to rest until it is convenient. I’ll summon you again when"

"But……"Before Xiao Rui could say anything, he saw the guard standing like a sculpture again.

"It seems we won’t be able to see him today, so we can only find a tavern to rest!"Xiao Rui turned to Xiao and said

"This little brother, we have a work by Master Klishik. I wonder if King Thoredin has time to appreciate it?"Xiao walked up and said to the guard.

"Where did we get Klishik's work? He is a legendary forging master."Xiao Rui reminded in a low voice.

"oh? If there really is a work by Master Klishik, King Thoredin must have time, just wait!"With a hint of respect, the guard then went to the palace to report.

Not long after this time, a shirtless and muscular dwarf man followed the guard to the gate. He must be King Thoridin.

"Do you have any works by Master Klishik? Thoraidin said

"Not bad, guaranteed replacement if fake!"Xiao took a step forward.

Thoridin looked at the two of them up and down:"I hope you are not lying. Come with me!"

Then Xiao Rui and the two followed Soridin to the so-called palace. When they passed countless anvils, they were also shocked.

In a reception room also made of black bricks, Thoredin arranged for the two of them to sit down, and then the servant served fruits and wild boar meat.

"Ahem, their hospitality is really special. They treat people to wild boar when they meet."Xiao Rui tilted his head and whispered to Xiao

"Well, the dwarves only serve wild boar when they receive their most precious guests."Xiao replied in the same low voice.

"Yes, if you have a work by Master Klishik, you are indeed a precious guest!"Thorridin said loudly in the main seat.

This sudden voice made Xiao Rui and the two feel very embarrassed, but they could also tell that Thoridin was definitely a genuine high-level warrior.

"It must be the genuine product of Master Krisik, and we will not rashly deceive you!"Xiao said without changing her expression.

"Then I ask you to take out Master Klisik’s works for everyone to appreciate!"Thorridin is not angry but proud of himself."

"What should we show him?"Xiao Rui was very angry.

"Give him your weapon."Xiao was calm and composed.

"Blue flame?"

"good."

Xiao Rui took out two sword blades from his waist with some confusion, one blue and one red, very special.

"this? Thoridin quickly walked over, took the"Blue Flame" and admired it carefully.

Thoridin held it in his hand and rubbed it for a quarter of an hour, then returned the double blades to Xiao Rui and said,"Not bad, as expected. It is the work of Master Klishik, and it is his final work."

"I didn’t lie to you!"

"But this pair of blades has disappeared since its birth. No one has ever seen it except Master Krisik. But how could it fall into the hands of an intermediate warrior like you now?"Thorridin stared at Xiao Rui with burning eyes.

"It was by chance that I got it from the Ogre Treasure House!"Facing the oppression of high-level warriors, Xiao Rui did not dare to hide

"It's no wonder, it is a real artifact and will choose its owner by itself."Thorridin's eyes became kind.

"But how can you, a boy named He De, get its approval? I watched it for a long time and didn’t see anything special."

"It's just luck, kid."Xiao Rui nodded humbly.

"That’s it! Do you know the origin of this artifact?"Soridin looked at Xiao Rui and continued to ask.

No one was paying attention at this time. There was a more expectant look on Xiao's face. Although she was very strong, it was actually just instinct. She had lost most of her memory. This time After being awakened, she wanted to know more about her past and why she became a sword spirit.

"I would like to hear more about it. It has been following me for a while and it is very easy to use. I didn’t expect it to be an artifact! So I also want to know its magical origin."Xiao Rui is also looking forward to it

"About a thousand years ago, Master Krisik had just turned two hundred years old and was already in his twilight years. And he had already become the legendary forging master a hundred years ago, which is second to none in the entire history of the dwarves."

"At that time, Klishik had reached the pinnacle of forging. Although there were many epic masterpieces, he was always looking for opportunities, hoping to create an artifact as the final work."

"But then the opportunity appeared. A seriously injured human man appeared from the alien portal in the Hall of Sages. He found Krisik and waved to release a dragon soul that was about to dissipate, hoping that Krisik could save her. Seal it, this is his true love, he doesn't want her to disappear"

"That man left behind many treasures of heaven and earth, mysterious minerals and magic materials from all realms, which were priceless. And his only hope is that the dragon soul doesn't disappear."Soridin spoke very seriously, and Xiao Rui also listened with great concentration.

"Then what?"

"Krisik agreed to the man, and he temporarily stored the dragon soul in the secret crystal. It took him seven days to thoroughly study the materials the man brought, and the man also left during this time. Shadowforge"

"No one knew his origins, and no one knew his name, and until the end, he never appeared again. Maybe he was too seriously injured and died somewhere. Thoraidin sighed.

"After thoroughly studying those materials, Krisik decided to use the icy blue cobalt ore and crimson thorium ore as weapons materials. These two minerals have magical affinity, and the etched magic pattern array is enough to accommodate the weak... Dragon Soul"

"After seven days and seven nights of forging and etching, this pair of legendary double blades was born. It has been a legend from the moment it was born. It has its own sword spirit and its own consciousness. It completely preserves the dragon soul, and Ice Blue Cobalt ore and crimson thorium nourish her as energy."

"However, only the apprentices and others present at the time served as witnesses. No one else has ever seen it, and no one has owned it. It just disappeared. It became an unsolved mystery and a legend, so much so that some people in later generations thought it did not exist at all. Since then, Klishik has remained silent and never explained, ultimately taking this secret to his grave."

"I didn't know until the moment you took them out just now that it existed, that it was a real legend, a real artifact, and that it really had a soul of its own!"When she said this, Soridin looked at Xiao.

At this time, Xiao's heart was full of mixed feelings, and countless memories poured into her brain.
