Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 135: Chapter 134: The Pinnacle of Forging Mastery

“Flame aura? The Dwarf Race has such a skill?” Lin You turned back in surprise.

His body was now enhanced to Tier Six, and his spirit was extremely sharp, yet he felt no sign of anything unusual under this mountain range.

Could it be that the Dwarf Race had some talent he was unaware of?

“Human, are you doubting our Dwarf Race’s perception of flames!” Mageon said discontentedly.

The Dwarf Race mostly lived underground, close to fire sources, and had a strong affinity for flames.

Even from afar, they could sense the presence of a fire source.

This was an innate talent.

So when faced with Lin You’s skepticism, he naturally had to refute immediately.

Upon hearing this, Lin You quickly laughed off the matter, then pointed forward.

“Look, there’s my territory.”

“We’ve arrived so soon?”

Mageon’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked in the direction Lin You pointed.

Seeing the Tree of Life, towering dozens of meters, and the Yellow Sand City covered in green, his gaze widened further.

“Such a strong life aura, it’s almost like the periphery of the Elf Forest.”

“You’ve been to the Elf Forest?”

Lin You asked in confusion, then quickly responded, asking again, “Is there an Elf Forest on this continent?”

Mageon glanced at him, “Making a fuss over nothing, the Primordial Continent has more than just your Human Race, hurry up and show me the Flame Supreme Treasure, we don’t have much time.”

“Alright, alright, follow me.” Lin You shrugged helplessly.

Any questions later would be asked, thinking Mageon was the future Master Craftsman of his territory.

After thinking this, he led Mageon over the city walls and descended into Yellow Sand City.

Finding his citizens all greeted him.

“Lord, you’re back.”

“Lord, is this your return from a trip?”

“Greetings, Lord.”

…

The citizens were long used to Lin You’s Plant Species.

Though still a bit intimidated when viewing them closely, they no longer feared them as before, and each face radiated genuine respect.

“It seems you’re a well-loved lord by your citizens.”

Mageon, standing beside Lin You, remarked with slight surprise.

In his impression.

Human lords were self-serving, sinister, and cunning.

Rarely did he see such cherished admiration by many citizens.

“So, are you satisfied with the environment here?”

Lin You turned his head and asked.

“Hmm, it’s alright,” Mageon nodded, “Being able to build a city here is quite impressive.”

There was another thing he didn’t say.

That the remote location was just right for him, who disliked social interactions.

If located in those bustling cities within a duchy, he’d feel resistant.

Thus.

The two were admired by the citizens as they entered the city, finding Xue Changgui who was arranging personnel for expansion tasks to check the progress before riding on the Demon King Dragon back to the territory.

During the flight, Mageon couldn’t help but distinctly sigh at the diverse Plant Species around Lin You’s territory, completely not expecting such variety within it.

It could be described as bizarre and fantastic.

Soon enough, his gaze was drawn to a lotus emitting red light within the territory, unable to look away.

“Such strong flame aura!”

Mageon’s eyes widened as he flipped off the back onto the ground, staggering toward the Bathing Fire Lotus, reaching out tremblingly, excitement evident.

He excitedly looked back at Lin You, “Human, how did you acquire such a thing!?”

“On a prior adventure, I found it by chance in a lava pool,” Lin You answered as he approached, “So, can it be used? It’s currently only Tier Six.”

The Bathing Fire Lotus’s level followed the territory’s level upgrades.

Thus currently it was only Tier Six.

The Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact sounded prestigious; he was concerned that a low level might render it unusable.

“It can be used!”

Mageon nodded vigorously.

“The Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact differed from other equipment, not measurable by ordinary levels; made from a thousand flame materials, it represented the Dwarf Race’s peak forging skills, hence called a Sacred Artifact.”

“Only those who forged the War God’s Hammer were eligible to be our tribe’s king, I’ve been preparing for this for over twenty years, now finally it’s coming to fruition!”

In Mageon’s eyes, Lin You saw an excitement he’d never seen, pure love for forging, untainted by any impurities.

He couldn’t help but feel moved while also relieved.

“It’s usable, good, do you need all of it or just a part?”

Honestly, Lin You valued the 30 points of Magic Energy per hour from the Bathing Fire Lotus greatly.

If used solely for crafting, it’d be a bit heartbreaking.

Fortunately, Mageon just stared at the Bathing Fire Lotus a while, then said, “Not the whole, just the lotus seeds, where the Flame Essence is most concentrated.”

Lucky, only the seeds were needed.

With a treasure like the Bathing Fire Lotus, if enough energy were absorbed, seeds could grow anew.

Hence Lin You didn’t waste time, allowing Mageon to pick them himself.

Mageon didn’t stand on ceremony, plucking all the seeds and storing them carefully.

“Alright, let’s hurry back to the Celestial Flame Duchy; my materials are in the tribe, only there can I give my all to forge the War God’s Hammer!”

“Okay, I’ll inform the people below.”

Having said that, they left the territory, instructing Xue Changgui briefly before departing toward the Celestial Flame Kingdom.

Near afternoon.

They finally crossed mountain desert, arriving before a massive mining mountain deep in the volcanic region.

From afar, one could already see the entrance guarded by Dwarf Warriors, surrounded by gradually creeping lava.

“Halt! Who goes there!”

A loud shout echoed as two Dwarf Warriors guarding the entrance raised weapons, preparing to battle.

“Blazing Fire, Batom, it’s me!”

Mageon quickly dismounted from the Demon Consort Dragon’s back, approached the Dwarf Warriors.

The two paused, their eyes widening immediately.

“Mageon? How have you returned? Aren’t you afraid of being noticed by the Elders!”

“The Elders are currently in the tribe conducting sacrifices, if they find out, it’ll be trouble, quick, leave!”

These two were evidently familiar with Mageon, and exceedingly close.

They knew he was deemed a sinner, quickly urging him to leave.

But in the next instant, they noticed Lin You following Mageon, their expressions changing.

“Human? Mageon, why are you with a human?”

“Humans aren’t welcome here! Leave immediately!”

In moments, weapons were raised, aiming at Lin You.

Mageon quickly stepped forward to stop them, “Don’t be like this, he’s my friend!”

“Friend? You made friends with a human?”

Suddenly, a hoarse voice resounded at the mining mountain entrance.
