"Come with me."
Without saying anything more, Ornn turned and looked at the volcano behind him. At this moment, Ornn's eyes suddenly became extremely serious.
His big hand slammed heavily on the side of the volcano.
"boom!"
In an instant, the magma in the volcano boiled completely, and the surface of the magma began to rise rapidly, as if something was rising from below.
The next second, Zuo Chi saw the thing hidden under the lava.
It was a huge flame furnace with an ancient appearance!
The hot magma dripped from the bottom of the furnace, but it could not cause any effect on the furnace. Perhaps it was because it had not been used for a long time and the flame in the furnace had gone out.
On one side of the furnace, Zuo Chi also saw a pair of anvils with mirror-smooth surfaces, which showed at a glance that they were often hammered.
"Your material is too hard to be melted by ordinary flames, so you have to think of another way. Because of this, it cannot be quenched with seawater, so you have to choose another way."
Ornn's voice came, and at the same time he exhaled heavily. Zuo Chi saw that many sparks spewed out of his mouth and hung on his beard.
Zuo Chi came to Aoun's shoulder and said softly, "Aoun, thank you very much."
Shaking his head slowly, Ornn's face was full of solemnity:
"Zuo Chi, you are the first human to observe my forging up close, and you are also the first human to provide me with such precious materials. I regard this as an honor for both of us!"
“Whether or not there’s any extra material left at the end, I’ll do my best!”
Ornn reached his big hand into the lava, and when he raised it again, there were a lot of various kinds of steel in his hand.
"Zuo Chi, what kind of weapon do you want?" Ornn looked at Zuo Chi: "Or, I can forge the most suitable weapon for you based on the characteristics of this star iron."
Zuo Chi paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Owen, it is as you said."
Apart from the dagger he had used before, Zuo Chi had no experience in using weapons, so he was not quite sure which weapon was more suitable for him.
In this case, Zuo Chi might as well let Ornn fully utilize the properties of Cosmic Star Iron, and then he can become familiar with the weapons he creates.
"Okay, let's get started."
Compared to Zuo Chi's urgent desire for a weapon forged by the God of Forge, Ornn was also itching to get his hands on this high-level legendary Cosmic Star Iron, so he did not hesitate too much and chose to start directly.
Ornn slowly raised his hand, and the huge furnace in front was lifted up by the surging magma and placed above the crater.
Then, the red light in Ornn's eyes became more and more intense, and strange red flames began to appear out of thin air under the furnace.
That was the fire of the earth's core, the same fire that Ornn had used to forge his craft.
Under the scorching heat of the earth's core fire, the bottom of the furnace soon became red hot, and the temperature in the furnace was rising rapidly.
Finally, after the furnace was also burning with flames, Ornn put the cosmic star iron in his hand into the furnace.
This is just the first step. As Ornn said, the temperature of the earth's core fire is not enough to melt the cosmic star iron. The purpose of this step is only to make the cosmic star iron heat up quickly and adapt to the scorching high temperature.
Zuo Chi stood on Ornn's shoulder, watching all this intently.
Gradually, Zuo Chi saw that the cosmic star iron in Ornn's furnace had completely turned into a fiery red color, and the starlight contained in it became even more dazzling.
At this time, the temperature around the entire volcano had become very high. The snow falling from the sky was evaporated in an instant. Even with Zuo Chi's current physical strength, he still felt his skin being burned.
But this is just the beginning!
Just as the cosmic star iron was burning red in Ornn's furnace, Ornn's eyes lit up completely.
He slowly raised his hands, and a pair of flaming hands lifted the cosmic star iron in the furnace in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Ornn took out the cosmic star iron directly when it hadn't melted yet.
And in the next moment, Zuo Chi, who was on Ornn's shoulder, was suddenly shrouded in a fiery red light film. This light film completely covered Zuo Chi, completely isolating him from the outside heat.
Zuo Chi saw sparks coming out of Ornn's big mouth, and at the same time, a loud noise like a bellows beating back and forth sounded in his ears.
Then, the elemental treasure that this land had given to Ornn - the First Fire of the Earth that could burn everything spewed out from Ornn's mouth and fell straight onto the Cosmic Star Iron!
At this point, Zuo Chi finally understood what Ornn meant by "think of another way".
He actually chose to use the primordial fire directly to melt the cosmic star iron!
Just as the first fire spewed out of Ornn's mouth, the land where Furnace Mountain was located was completely plunged into a fiery purgatory.
Even the empty ground began to catch fire spontaneously, and the flames spread infinitely into the distance, extending all the way to the pine forest that Zuo Chi encountered when he just arrived.
A huge fire enveloped the land without any warning, and the cosmic star iron gradually softened under the scorching heat of the first fire, and finally turned completely into a ball of liquid that seemed to have life.
It was also at this moment that Ornn suddenly turned his head and looked towards the west of the Freljord continent.
His voice was like the ringing of a bell at the creation of the world, starting from Hearth Mountain and spreading all the way to the west of the Freljord.
"Anivia, come to me!"
“!?” Zuo Chi’s heart skipped a beat.
On the other side, on the snowy mountain west of Freljord, an ice crystal phoenix covered with blue ice slowly opened its eyes.
Her eyes looked towards the east. Her brother's voice was still echoing among the mountains. Anivia did not hesitate. She spread her wings that covered the sky and flew straight to the center of the Freljord.
As she flew out, snow followed her all over the sky, and many wild beasts on the western land huddled on the ground.
After calling Anivia, Ornn continued to look at the Cosmic Star Iron in front of him.
A completely sealed mold appeared in front of him. The giant flaming hand held up the melted liquid of cosmic star iron and slowly flowed into the mold. The excess liquid was put aside by Ornn.
Given Zuo Chi's size, this piece of cosmic star iron will not be used up completely. The excess part can be added into it later or used to forge other objects.
Ornn began to add some dust that Zuo Chi had never seen before into the mold. Zuo Chi guessed that this should be the unique feature of the God of Fire and Forging.
Without the burning of the primordial fire, the cosmic star iron quickly solidified again. It was also at this time that Zuo Chi's weapon took on its original shape.
The mold was disassembled, and Ornn's first fire spewed out again, but this time it was much slower than before. After all, this time there was no need to melt the cosmic star iron, but only to burn it red to shape it.
A sword-like weapon lay quietly on the polished anvil, and Ornn's hammer appeared in his hand again.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Next, there was a forging song presented by the God of Fire and Forging. The sound of the hammer hitting the anvil was crisp and pleasant, and was carried far away by the cold wind.
Zuo Chi stood on Ornn's shoulder and focused all his attention on the anvil.
There, the shape of the weapon was becoming clearer.
Finally, Zuo Chi saw the specific shape of what Ornn had forged.
It was a special sword with a straight and slender blade and a handle that was longer than an ordinary handle. The shape of this weapon reminded Zuo Chi of the Miao Dao in his previous life.
Perhaps because the blade was burned red, Zuo Chi was unable to determine the specific style of this weapon.
Suddenly, Zuo Chi turned his head and looked towards the west, where a huge shadow was rushing towards this side. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Zuo Chi could still feel the majestic pressure of the ancient god.
Not long after, Anivia arrived at Ornn's territory amidst the snow and wind.
Her wind and snow covered the flames on the ground, completely extinguishing the forest that was already engulfed in flames, and at the same time rapidly reduced the temperature of Luxiang Mountain.
Coming closer, Anivia's eyes quickly swept over Ornn's body, as well as the furnace and anvil in front of him.
When Anivia saw Zuo Chi standing on Ornn's back, a very obvious surprise flashed in her beautiful big eyes.
And at this moment, Ornn's voice rang out like a storm.
"Anivia, quench!"
Zuo Chi: "???"
"Hey~!"
As if this was not the first time she had faced such a thing, Anivia let out a loud phoenix cry, flapped her wings continuously, and soared into the sky.
The endless ice hidden under her wings automatically fell off and flew straight towards Ornn.
Soon, a small iceberg made entirely of true ice appeared in front of Zuo Chi and Ornn.
Ornn picked up the fully forged weapon and thrust it into the ice in front of him without hesitation.
The next moment, the true ice that was said to never melt was like tofu, and was directly stabbed into by the weapon in Ornn's hand.
"Zi! Zhi! Zhi!"
At this moment, the First Fire and the True Ice collided violently. The True Ice was melting rapidly, and the heat of the First Fire was also dissipating rapidly.
Zuo Chi finally understood what the special forging method that Ornn was talking about was.
It actually comes from the original elemental magic power of the two ancient gods!
Forging weapons with the primordial fire of the God of Fire and the pure ice of the God of Ice and Snow, this treatment made Zuo Chi feel like he was living in a dream.
Maybe Ornn just wanted to complete his work, but Zuo Chi did benefit greatly from it.
After swinging True Ice, Anivia fell straight down from the sky. After looking around for a long time and still not finding a suitable place to land, she landed directly on Ornn's horns.
Ornn didn't say much about his sister's actions, but just let her go.
Anivia, on the other hand, looked at Zuo Chi on Ornn's shoulder with curiosity.
"Zuo Chi, is this weapon yours?"
Anivia was not averse to spending her own True Ice to create weapons for Zuo Chi. After all, she still admired this human who had saved Winter Claw from Volibear.
Zuo Chi looked up at Anivia and nodded gently: "Anivia, thank you for troubling you again."
"It's okay." Anivia's voice was still full of affinity: "After all, this is my brother's request."
"But I'm still surprised that my brother, who likes to live in seclusion and keep to himself, actually agreed to help you forge. This is the first time since that time."
Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to answer. After all, he couldn't say that he used good things to seduce Ornn.
While Anivia and Zuo Chi were talking, the weapon in Ornn's hand had been tempered, and the next step would be to "temper it".
In the following time, Zuo Chi and Anivia did not speak again, but quietly admired the forging skills from the God of Forge.
It has to be said that although Ornn does not like to interact with outsiders and is a dull and honest god, when he concentrates all his energy on forging, his creations will astonish the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the work in Ornn's hands finally slowed down, and the First Fire no longer spewed out of his mouth.
When Ornn wiped the blade of the weapon in his hand with an old leather cloth, a long sword that was completely dark purple and contained endless stars appeared in front of Zuo Chi and Anivia!
Just as Zuo Chi had seen before, the blade of this knife was straight and slender, and the handle was nearly thirty centimeters long and suitable for holding with both hands.
