"That's not okay! It's also a shame to fall in love with someone who has sinned before!" Silua's voice did not weaken at all.
"No problem. I, Otaubis, agree with the opinion of Sister Siluria with both hands and feet!" Otaubis shrank his head when he heard this and immediately gave in.
It's a pity that the Crucible Knight's armor is completely integrated without leaving any gaps. If Otaubis shrinks his head, nothing will happen to the outside world.
"No? You talk about others all day long, what about yourselves?" Yi Yan saw Otaubis and Silua arguing about the honor and shame of knights, and couldn't help but ask.
The Furnace Knights, it is not an exaggeration to call them the strongest knights in the border area. But few people know the price of this "strongest".
Ember raised his head and glanced at the Crucible Knights. Their bodies were tall, much bigger than the Chuqiu thugs.
But the Thug Thug is made of flesh and blood, and the Knight of the Furnace is made of steel.
He lowered his head to look at the ground and saw that the sand was turning up and the Red Leg Armor of the Furnace Knight sank deeply into the ground, which showed the heavy weight of his armor.
The Iron Man of the Furnace Knight is not a metaphor, but a fact. Their bodies are far stronger than steel.
To describe the Crucible Knight as a man of steel, Ember always feels inappropriate.
The body under the Furnace Knight's armor is not a body in the ordinary biological sense. Their bodies are directly forged from extremely pure power.
The "furnace" in the title of the Furnace Knights not only refers to the fact that their power has the remnants of the original life furnace, but also refers to their practice method of smelting their bodies like a furnace.
During the long smelting process, the flesh of the Furnace Knight has long been free of any impurities. Skin, flesh, muscles and bones... these are all considered useless and smelted clean.
Tempering these is nothing more than for stronger power, so the furnace knights directly abandoned their bodies and directly pursued the power itself.
The Crucible Knight itself is pure power, power without any impurities. No matter what prayers they used or what weapons they used, the word "power" could not escape them.
The Knight of the Furnace stands on the earth, which is the embodiment of power.
Ember knew this long ago. Mainly because Ember discovered that the Furnace Knights would not bleed no matter what. No matter how powerful they were bombarded, only crystal-like golden-red debris would fly out from the gaps in the armor.
Strictly speaking, "they" should not be used to describe the Crucible Knights, but "them".
Compared to regular lives, the Furnace Knights are more like a group of ultimate forces, but this group of forces prefers to maintain the appearance of humans.
As a group of forces, the Crucible Knights only think about how to strengthen themselves and how to use their power.
In terms of behavior, the Crucible Knight only knows how to do three things: practice, fight, and daydream.
But the only one who gave Ember some relief was Silua. The Crucible Knight has no gender, but her voice has a distinctly female voice. I wonder if she is enlightened.
But this is not enough. Today's borderlands can survive well without such a strong force.
Therefore, Ember hopes that the Furnace Knight can change his mind to other places, and not just fight and pound iron all day long.
There are fourteen people in the Knights of the Furnace, and they can only do two things. This is too funny to say.
"Ourselves? Anyway, I'm living a good life. Teaching little kids is much more interesting than fighting." Otaubis laughed a few times and seemed quite satisfied with his current life.
"Really?" Silua glanced at Otaubis. If it was true as he said, then why did this guy follow him immediately after seeing him fully armed.
"Now, my priority is to implement the king's will!" Silua directly answered Ember's question without waiting for Otaubis to respond.
"I think you just can't find a job for yourself!" Otapis teased Silua secretly.
During the Shattering War, the First King was banished from the Borderlands, and the Knights of the Crucible went their separate ways.
Otaubis and Devonlet wanted to rob the tomb, but they were locked and trapped in the cemetery without being able to get out.
Silua ran to the ground to die, staring at her only set of clothes except armor all day long.
Juragi is considered the most opinionated among the Crucible Knights. He wanted to defect to the Blood Dynasty. The idea was beautiful, but the reality was very ugly - he was lost.
All of this is simply outrageous. The most powerful knights in the border area can't be seen at the main location, they are all huddled in the corners.
Seeing this, Ember felt aggrieved for them. This was the result of having only muscles but no brains, so Ember very much hoped that the Knights of the Furnace could change.
"Okay, I understand." Ember nodded to Otaubis and Silua, and then he turned his attention to the other Crucible Knights.
"Your eldest brother and eldest sister are like this, you must be good too!"
There was a hint of hope in Ember's tone. Otapis became a teacher, Silua ran all the way towards the road of King Kong Barbie, Carboniferous Dudley also had some new ideas, the others must be pretty good too, right?
"Moving bricks!"
"Mining!"
"Demolition!"
……
The voices of the Knights of the Furnace were very much like those of aged buffaloes, and no matter what they said, there was a dull air in them.
But no matter how distinctive their voices are, it doesn't change the fact that the Crucible Knights are all doing hard work now.
From Ember's point of view, this amounts to no change. Because the daily life of the Furnace Knights is to fight and exercise, the physical work they do may not just be regarded as a warm-up exercise before the actual exercise.
Ember clutched his chest, almost not having a myocardial infarction. He finally understood why Otaubis and Shiluru could become the chief furnace knights.
Co-author Ge Fulei is really good at judging people, and two of the three relatively outstanding talents were selected.
Yi Yan looked at the steel statues standing in front of him. Gradually, their bodies began to overlap with a figure.
Yi Yan rubbed his eyes, and the figure became clearer. He had short bright brown hair and was wearing a slender red scarf - this figure was the young master.
It is good that there is a young master among the fools, because there is a lot of hard work for him to do.
And now Ember has thirteen young masters in his hands, and they are super enhanced versions.
As for whether it is good or not, only God knows.

"Ember...Ember, what did they just call you?"
"If I heard it right, it should be... is it Wang?"
Just when Ember was thinking about how to introduce the Crucible Knight to Young Master so that he could learn from him, Jiujin, who had been silent, patted him on the shoulder.
Yan Yan turned around and saw Jiujin with a shocked look on his face.
It's no wonder that Jiujin was shocked. In his impression, Ember was an adventurer with a mysterious background and powerful strength.
Although this is enough for people to look up to, compared with the status of "king", there is still a "billion points" gap.
Moreover, Washujin couldn't see how Ember looked like a king at all - was there any king who could dig more vigorously than them?
"Oh, this, you don't need to worry about this, you just need to practice your abilities well, and then it will be enough to teach the shogunate a lesson!"
Ember waved his hand and gave Jiujin a haha. As a king, he is really unconvincing.
Although he is called a king by others, he has no country and no manpower. He can only sneak a few people through the cooperation of the golden tree and the border area.
"Okay... okay." Seeing that Yu Jin didn't want to mention his identity, Jiu Jin wisely stopped worrying about it.
He raised his head and looked at the thirteen black figures standing in front of him. The looming aura made him swallow his saliva.
The strength of each of the heavily armored knights in front of him was the strongest that Washujin had ever seen, except for Ember.
In the past, it was unusual to see just one, but now there were thirteen of them all at once. How can this not surprise Washizu?
You must know that today's Jiujin is no longer the ordinary warrior he used to be. When the evil spirit broke out, Jiujin tried medicine on himself many times in order to find a way to suppress the evil spirit.
The current method used by the people of Feimu Village to grind the bark of the golden tree into powder to suppress evil spirits was developed by Washujin and Homoto.
Bao Ben, as one of the few doctors in the village, was responsible for the theory, and Jiu Jin was the test subject. Together, they found the best dose needed to suppress the evil spirit.
Therefore, the changes in Washijin are also the biggest in Fimiki Village. The strength is improved the most, and the non-human level is also the greatest.
His warrior armor never leaves his body, so it's hard to say that he doesn't want to hide his physical abnormality.
"Practice?" Siluya heard Yu Yan's words, moved his gaze downwards, and noticed the two little people behind Yu Yan.
For the Crucible Knights, let alone Washizu and Dankiroku, even if they were wearing armor that was one size larger than the others, the ember could barely reach the chests of the Crucible Knights.
So in their eyes, ordinary-sized humans are really just like little humans.
"You have the power of the furnace in you." Silua looked at Jiujin and Danguiliu for a moment, and then discovered the power in their bodies that was almost of the same origin as his own.
That is the power of the melting pot of life, the power that divides life.
"It seems that this is all the work of the king." Otaubis turned to look at the golden tree behind him and nodded.
Then he calmed down and carefully sensed the nearby environment, and said as if he suddenly understood:
"I see, there is something very stubborn here that is trying to force its way into life. If you want to avoid being eroded, you must let your life force spread out like a thorn and resist the things outside."
"Correct, he is worthy of being the leader of the Crucible Knights." Ember saw Otaubis and Silua figure out the changes in Jiujin so quickly, and immediately clapped his hands.
Ignoring the continuous applause, Otaubis cast his sights on the entire Feimu Village, and then asked the embers:
"So, the king asked us to come here to deal with the thing filling the air? Or did he ask us to deal with the person who caused this thing?"
As Otaubis spoke, he couldn't stop waving the red sword in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
"Almost, but before that, you have to teach them how to use the power that appears in them."
"I think no one is more familiar with this than you."
Yu Jin pushed out Washizu and Dankiroku who were standing behind him and said to them:
"Don't be dumbfounded, this is the instructor I called for you, hurry up and say hello!"
Seeing that they could not escape, Washizu and Dankiroku had no choice but to raise their heads and look at the Crucible Knights.
The thirteen Crucible Knights are divided into two very obvious categories. Behind Otaubis were all sword and shield knights holding a big sword and a horned shield like him.
Behind Shiluya was a large spear knight wearing a tree helmet and holding a tree spear.
No matter what kind of Crucible Knight they are, their armor has crimson stripes all over it. Sometimes the stripes look like the roots of a big tree, and sometimes they look like spitting flames.
Among them, the furnace made of intertwined stripes on the chest of the armor is the most clearly visible.
The stripes converge into a point in the center of the breastplate. This point seems to be the heart of the furnace, smelting the body under the armor.
The heavy armor on the Furnace Knights seemed to be cast in one piece, with no gaps even between the shoulders and chest.
They stood here as if they were insurmountable peaks.
But the peak does not mean that no one dares to climb. Behind the armor of the Crucible Knights, the faded and worn-out cloak silently swears the countless battles that the Crucible Knights have gone through.
"Hello, instructor..."
