Lord of Flames - Chapter 54

Chapter 54. Entering Graycastle! Secret news!

The Dwarven Queen and the rest walked out of the city amidst the cheers of the Dwarves in the underground city.

After walking for quite some time, they neared a huge castle.

Iron Castle!

This place had been sealed in dust!

Although they still lived in the underground city where Iron Castle was located, they were no longer qualified to enter it!

The Dwarven Queen stood in front of the iron fortress and stared at it for a while!

Her mood was completely different from a few months ago!

A few months ago, whenever she saw Iron Castle, she would feel a bit emotional.

Even though she had been working hard to return to Graycastle, she knew how difficult that was!

But now, she had full confidence!

This confidence came from the Divine Punishment Sword on her back.

It also came from the great Lord of Flames!

Her one and only God!

“Let’s go!”

The Dwarven Queen looked at it for a while before walking out of the city.

A dozen Dwarves followed behind her.

……

The minecart moved forward with a “Ka Ka”.

Graycastle was still quite a distance away, and the speed of the underground mining carriage was not fast.

After a full day, the Dwarven Queen and the others finally arrived at Graycastle!

The Graycastle was built in a huge underground space.

The environment around Graycastle was a bit gloomy.

One side of Graycastle leaned against a cliff and the other three sides were surrounded by a sea of lava!

This was an underground city surrounded by a sea of lava!

Only through a path on the cliff could they reach Graycastle.

On the cliff, there were mines. These mines were used to transport the ores and other materials needed by the Dwarves of the Graycastle. Some of the Dwarves of the Graycastle would also use these mines!

After the Dwarven Queen and the others came out of a mine, they walked into Graycastle through a path on the cliff.

Inside Graycastle, people came and went.

Tomorrow was the day of the Eight Tribes’ meeting, so many people from the Eight Tribes had come to Graycastle.

The moment the Dwarven Queen and the others appeared, they were noticed.

“Look, isn’t that the Queen of the Iron Castle tribe, Ivy? She’s also here to attend the meeting as

one of the leaders of the Eight Tribes.”

“Yes, the Queen of the Iron Castle Tribe has always wanted to unify the Eight Tribes and revive the might of the Iron Castle Kingdom. It is said that for this purpose, she went everywhere to search for something that could melt the Heavensfall Iron of the Heaven Realm, trying to create the most powerful weapon, and it was a great surprise to the Chiefs of the Eight Tribes.”

“Do you think she can succeed?”

“It’s hard to say. Heavensfall Iron has never been melted before. If it was that easy to melt, it wouldn’t be Heavenly. However, it might be possible for the Eight Dwarven Tribes to unite this time.”

One of the Dwarves was drinking as he spoke of some secret news he had overheard.

“Oh? Why did you say that?”

The Dwarves beside him were curious when they heard his words.

“The reason is very simple. It is said that the leader of the Graycastle Tribe has forged a weapon that is infinitely close to a Divine Weapon. He will likely be able to cut through the Cold Iron Sword left behind by the Late King of the Iron Castle Kingdom. Once he slices through it, the leader of the Graycastle Tribe will be able to become the King!”

“Wow, really?”

“If the leader of the Graycastle Tribe ascends then things would be interesting.”

“Indeed.”

The surrounding Dwarves began to discuss.

……..

“Your Highness, listen.”

Beside the Dwarven Queen, a female Dwarf spoke.

The Dwarven Queen’s demeanor remained unchanged, “No worries. Let’s continue.”

A weapon that was infinitely close to a Divine Weapon?

The Dwarven Queen was not worried at all because she was carrying an authentic Divine Weapon!

It was a Divine Weapon forged from the Heavensfall Iron!

The Dwarves were quite straightforward and did not have so many crooked ways.

It was easy for the Dwarven Queen to unite the Eight Dwarven Tribes.

There was no need for battle or war.

There weren’t many schemes!

Dwarves hated conspiracies the most. If you used them, you would be opposed by all the Dwarves!

As long as the Dwarven Queen could forge the most powerful weapon, and then cut through the symbol of the Iron Castle Kingdom, which was the Cold Iron Sword left behind by her grandfather, she would prove herself worthy. Then, she would unify the eight forces and become the ruler of the Eight Dwarven Tribes!

A few decades ago, the Dwarven Queen’s father had also forged a weapon so that he could inherit the throne.

Although that weapon surpassed the weapons of the other seven tribe leaders at that time, it could not cut through the Cold Iron Sword left behind by her grandfather. As a result, he was unable to convince the crowd.

That was why the Dwarven Kingdom beneath the Misty Mountains had split apart!

……

If one wanted to be King in the Dwarven Kingdom, beauty was useless.

Strength was also useless!

One had to personally forge a powerful weapon!

Every King of the Dwarven Kingdom was a Supreme Forging Master.

Moreover, they were the greatest Forging Master in the Dwarven Kingdom!

They were even better than those of the previous generation!

Of course, if it was any other Dwarven Kingdom, even if the next King did not create a weapon that surpassed the previous King, the Kingdom might not have split up as it did.

Who told the Iron Castle Kingdom to be made up of eight tribes?

There were many tribes. If the next King couldn’t make them submit, they would naturally split up!

……

The Dwarven Queen and her party arrived at the place where they stayed and rested for the night. They did not go anywhere else.

The next morning, the Dwarven Queen led a dozen Dwarves to the castle at the top of Graycastle.

That was also the core of Graycastle.

In that castle, one could see all of Graycastle!

In a large hall, many Dwarves sat in different areas, drinking while chatting loudly.

The Dwarven Queen walked in.

The entire hall immediately fell silent.

As the granddaughter of the last King of the Kingdom of Iron Castle, the Queen of the Dwarves had the Royal Bloodline. She was more courageous than her father, so her position in the hearts of the leaders of the Dwarves was not bad.

“So it’s the Iron Castle Queen who’s here. I heard that you’ve been searching everywhere for flames that could melt the Heavensfall Iron of the Heaven Realm. Did you succeed?”

As soon as the Queen entered, a leader of a Dwarven tribe asked.

The other Dwarven tribe leaders all looked shocked at this question!

This tribe leader was this straightforward?
