Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 794 Dwarven Secrets, Binding the Legendary Forging Hammer.

"Which damned bastard is erasing my soul connection with the Frostheart Hammer of Eternal Silence?!"

Glendil's furious roar shook the ice spikes off the top of the workshop, and the roar was heard throughout the entire city.

The dwarves in the city all put down what they were doing and looked in surprise and uncertainty toward the area from which the sound came.

The old dwarf suppressed his anger and carefully sensed the surroundings.

Then, his icy blue pupils contracted sharply: "Judging from the direction of the aura... it's extremely far away from here..."

"That location is... the Western Continent!"

After reaching this conclusion, the old dwarf even staggered back two steps.

He never imagined that his forging hammer had gone to such a faraway place.

Moreover, at such a distance, he had no way of getting there to stop the other party's actions.

"No! I must find His Majesty the Dwarf King as soon as possible!"

He ripped off his coal-dust-covered leather apron and said in a deep voice, "Have His Majesty activate the continental teleportation array as soon as possible! Even if I have to turn the entire Western Continent upside down, I will retrieve the clan's sacred artifact!"

The old dwarf grabbed a runic battle axe hanging on the wall, and sharp ice crystals immediately condensed on the blade.

A vast aura erupted from his body!

At this moment, his legendary combat power is on full display!
...

...

[Crack successful! The Frostcore Hammer of Eternal Silence (Legendary) has been changed to its initial state...]
At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the hammer he held in his hand, which had become very quiet, and a smile reappeared on his face.

"Great, the crack has been successful."

"Next, we can hand this hammer over to Harold for binding."

With this in mind, he left the central square in a pleasant mood and headed towards the blacksmith's shop.

However, before that, Cao Xing changed direction and went to the residence of the Crystal Clan.

Beneath rows of neat stone houses, San Ye Shi led her people in a circle, their translucent bodies reflecting a rainbow of light in the dim light.

"Lord Lord!"

Upon seeing Cao Xing approach, San Ye Shi immediately stood up.

And he led the other tribesmen in a respectful bow.

Cao Xing nodded slightly: "Take out all the crystals produced by the clansmen during this period."

"Please wait a moment, my lord."

The crystal-clear sound of the three-leaf stone rang out, and it strode towards the stone house behind it.

A moment later, he came out carrying a bag in both hands.

"It's all here, please take a look."

Cao Xing took the bag and then transferred all the crystals inside into his backpack.

[Received: Dark Crystal * 174]

[Received: 15 Shining Crystals]

[Received: 2 Rainbow Crystals]

...

Upon seeing the last prompt, Cao Xing's heart stirred.

"Two more rainbow crystals, that's great..."

"With what I've gained in the ruins over this period, I can almost upgrade all the legendary equipment!"

Thinking of this, he nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at these Crystal People, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Spending over 100 million crowns to buy this group of Crystal People was a huge profit.

In just a few months, all the investment has been recouped, and many times the profit has been made!
Although... they do have a good appetite...

After all, those precious crystals are not cheap, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to maintain them.

Fortunately, Master Cao has control of two crystal mines, and he also uses the [Shining Throne] function once a week recently.

There are currently two precious mineral veins waiting for him to develop.

It can be said that the Crystal Clan has absolutely no need to worry about food.

"Three-leaf stone, you did a great job."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xing produced a storage bag containing a full five thousand [Shadow Amethyst Stones].

"This is a reward for you."

Three-leaf stone stretched out its crystal-clear hands and carefully took the bag.

When she saw the mountain of precious crystals inside, her pupils shone with a beautiful light: "Wow... so many crystals!"

"Are these all for us?" she asked cautiously.

"of course."

After receiving Cao Xing's affirmation, a happy smile appeared on the face of the Crystal Clan member.

She turned around and called out to her people, "Our lord has brought us so much food again! Let's all thank our lord!"

The group of Crystal Humans immediately responded with clear voices: "Thank you, Lord!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Go and distribute them to the clansmen."

"Ok."

After saying this, the Crystal Clan member turned around and happily walked towards his companions.

Her crystal-clear bare feet walked across the bluestone slabs, making a 'creak...creak...' sound.

Cao Xing turned around and walked straight toward the blacksmith shop.

A minute or two later, he arrived at the territory's industrial zone.

A row of blacksmith shops came into view.

Cao Xing chose the largest one and walked straight there.

"crunch-"

As the door was pushed open, a wave of heat rushed out, mixed with the clanging sound of metal striking metal.

This blacksmith shop, serving as Harold's exclusive forging workshop, has a much more spacious interior than other blacksmith shops.

Twelve furnaces were arranged around a central, massive magical forging table.

Cao Xing walked through the furnaces and arrived at the innermost forging table.

The territory's only legendary blacksmith was directing several apprentices to work together on one of the giant hooves, which was as big as a city gate.

Harold's gruff voice echoed in the blacksmith's shop: "Pay attention to the angle, the seventh skeletal section must retain its natural grain."

"Use icy spring water for quenching, and immerse the material three times!"

The apprentices were all diligently carrying out their master's orders, completely unaware of the lord's arrival.

Until Cao Xing shouted, "Harold."

The dwarf blacksmith turned around abruptly, and upon seeing that it was Cao Xing, he quickly put down his hammer.

"Greetings, Lord."

The blacksmith apprentices also bowed and said, "Lord, may you be well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "You guys go out for a bit, Harold and I need to talk about something."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

The blacksmith apprentices put down their work and respectfully left the blacksmith shop.

The last person gently closed the heavy door.

When only the two of them remained in the blacksmith shop, the dwarf blacksmith stood somewhat awkwardly by the furnace, appearing a little uneasy.

"My lord, is there a new task to be assigned?"

Cao Xing chuckled and shook his head: "No need to be nervous, Harold."

"I've come to see you with two things."

"The first thing is to prepare a new forging hammer for you so that you can work better."

"The second thing is to use the [Seven-Colored Crystal] to enhance some of our equipment, just like last time."

Hearing this, Harold breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He also noticed the first thing Cao Xing mentioned and asked in confusion, "A new forging hammer?"

“My lord, this Obsidian Forging Hammer I have is quite useful. You don’t need to trouble yourself for it.”

"For us blacksmiths, tools are just an aid; the most important thing is our own skill..."

However, before he could finish speaking...

Cao Xing suddenly produced a hammer made entirely of black ice, radiating intense cold.

The moment Harold felt that bone-chilling cold, he also realized the extraordinary nature of this hammer.

He examined it closely for a moment, and when he saw the pitch-black core sealed in the middle of the hammer, his eyes widened in shock!

"This, this, this!!!"

"This is the Frostcore Eternal Silence Hammer, the personal weapon of the legendary blacksmith, Glendil Frostbeard!"

The dwarf blacksmith's rough hands trembled involuntarily: "Gods above! How did this hammer end up in your hands?"

Although Harold disliked his own people, being a fellow dwarf, he still held an instinctive reverence for the legendary blacksmiths in his tribe.

Or rather, people of this caliber have already been included in the learning materials of the dwarf race.

Among the dwarves, you might not know which legendary powerful figures they have, but you cannot be unaware of which legendary blacksmiths they possess. Each and every one of them is a household name.

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Due to some special reasons, this hammer ended up on the Western Continent, and I bought it at an auction."

Even after hearing the explanation, Harold's eyes still held a look of shock.

He asked incredulously, "Drifted to the Western Continent?"

“That legendary blacksmith from Glendil valued this hammer more than his own life; how could he possibly lose it so easily…”

"Could it be... that this legendary blacksmith is dead?"

When Harold sensed that the soul binding on the hammer had dissipated, his suspicions were further solidified.

A complex expression appeared in his eyes.

Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, saying, "As far as I know, the original owner of this hammer should still be alive."

"The soul bond above was also broken by me through a special method."

"As for why I ended up in the Western Continent, I don't know either."

Harold took a deep breath: "I see..."

"The lord is truly powerful to be able to break the soul bond on such a legendary weapon!"

Cao Xing smiled, then handed over the forging hammer, saying, "Take this hammer and bind it. While you're at it, use a [Seven-Colored Crystal] to enhance it and see if you can increase its power even further."

Harold looked at the hammer that was handed to him, a look of longing appearing in his eyes.

After all... for any blacksmith, a legendary quality forging hammer is a coveted treasure.

Let alone owning one, the chance to even see one up close is rare in this lifetime.

And now, this precious thing is right in front of him.

However, the dwarf blacksmith did not accept it, and hesitation gradually appeared in his eyes.

He said with some concern, "My lord... a legendary forging hammer is of great importance; it can even be considered one of the sacred objects of the dwarven race."

“If Glendil, the original owner of this forging hammer, hadn’t died, he certainly wouldn’t have given up the search for the relic so easily…”

"Given the Frostbeard Clan's style, they might already be preparing to head to the Western Continent to retrieve this forging hammer."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then asked, "How powerful is this Frostbeard Clan you mentioned?"

"Or rather, how many legendary-level experts do they have?"

Upon hearing this question, Harold thought for a moment and solemnly replied, "My lord, among us dwarves, anyone with legendary strength or legendary forging skills can establish their own clan."

"'Frostbeard' is not a particularly powerful clan among us dwarves."

"Grundil is probably the only dwarf with legendary combat power."

At this point, he added, "However, a legendary forging hammer is of great importance."

"Furthermore, since it involves other continents, he will definitely go to find His Majesty the Dwarf King and do everything in his power to get this hammer back."

Cao Xing nodded thoughtfully: "So, how strong is your dwarf king?"

Harold shook his head and replied with a serious expression, "I'm not sure... He hasn't made a move in many years."

"However, it should be much more powerful than a legend, or even a demigod..."

"According to the records of the dwarven race, a spatial rift appeared in the sky of the southern continent 1125 years ago."

"From this rift emerged a terrifying being from another dimension. It destroyed vast tracts of land and slaughtered countless lives along its path. Even legendary dragons were powerless to resist it."

"At this moment, the Dwarf King, wielding his tribe's sacred artifact—the Stormbreaker—faced the terrifying being from another plane."

"At Eagle Ridge, he cleaved it in two with just one axe stroke!"

"That mountain range, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, was cleaved in two by that single axe stroke, and from then on was renamed the Judgment Ridge..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing frowned slightly.

He murmured to himself, "Spatial rifts... the existence of other planes..."

"Even legendary-level powerhouses are powerless against it, which means it must be at least a demigod level existence."

"A powerhouse of this caliber was actually killed by the Dwarf King with a single axe stroke..."

"Judging from this, this person is more powerful than we imagined!"

Cao Xing frowned slightly, instantly realizing that the dwarf king's strength was probably much greater than he had imagined.

Moreover, this happened more than a thousand years ago.

After so many years, it's hard to say that this dwarf king won't have made other progress.

Of course, while the Dwarf King was powerful, his side was not to be underestimated either.

In his territory, the number of legendary powerhouses has now exceeded double digits, and each of them is invincible among their peers.

Malenina possesses demigod-level combat power, and with the enhancement of various states, she is an invincible demigod-level powerhouse.

With Cao Xing's various trump cards, he is not afraid of a direct conflict with the dwarves.

So he patted Harold on the shoulder: "Harold, there's no need to worry about that legendary blacksmith."

"This hammer is what I won at auction, so it belongs to me."

"No matter who it is, even if they are dwarves, they cannot take it from me."

Upon hearing this, Harold took a deep breath.

He knew perfectly well how powerful the dwarves were, as one of the three major races of the Southern Continent.

However, he trusted his lord more.

It was an almost blind faith; since following this lord, he had witnessed too many miracles that made the impossible possible.

The dwarven blacksmith's rough, large hand slowly reached out, and the moment it touched the [Frostcore Eternal Silence Hammer], the hammer burst forth with a strong icy blue light.

The temperature in the entire forging room plummeted, and even the flames in the furnace froze.

Harold said solemnly, "I understand, my lord!"

"I swear in the name of my ancestors, I will use this holy hammer to forge the most powerful equipment for you!"

[Your territory member: Harold Iceberg has successfully bound the legendary weapon: Frostcore Eternal Silence Hammer, title: Star Hunter has been upgraded, Luck +10...]

...

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Now let's start strengthening the other equipment."

After saying that, he took out a total of eight sparkling [Seven-Colored Crystals] from his backpack and said, "You should strengthen your [Frostcore Eternal Silence Hammer] first, and I'll go call the others over."

Harold carefully accepted the precious crystals and respectfully replied, "Yes, my lord!"

After saying that, he walked to the forging table and began the strengthening process.

Cao Xing, meanwhile, was pondering in his mind.

"This time, there are plenty of rainbow crystals, enough to upgrade almost all the legendary equipment in the territory."

"And besides the [Demon Codex], [Lake Maiden's Sword], and [Death's Dagger] that were enhanced last time..."

"The territory also contains [The Chapter of Light], [The Chapter of Dawn], [The Ancient Sword - Magdale], [The Shield of Origin - Anodit], [Elegy of Time], [Whispers of the Eternal Night - Godslayer]..."

"Plus, I have the [High Lich's Frost Soul Robe], the [Starfall Codex], and the [Nessa's Blessing Ring]..."

"There are still nine pieces of equipment that need to be upgraded..."

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback after arriving at this number.

I originally thought that 8 [seven-colored crystals] would be more than enough.

Unexpectedly, even with so many legendary items, it still wasn't enough.

Furthermore, you need to use a reinforced Frostcore Eternal Hammer; in other words, there are only seven legendary items that can be reinforced.

Cao Xing chuckled and shook his head: "Is this the trouble of having too many top-tier equipment?"

"However... if we remove the [Dawn Chapter] which is not yet usable and the [Nessa's Blessing Ring] which does not need to be strengthened, there is just enough to strengthen all the other equipment."

Thinking of this, he pressed the communication device to his ear and began calling out names: "Isabel, Mu Xue, Bloom, Renes, Xiao..."

"All five of you, come to the blacksmith's shop to find me."

As soon as Cao Xing finished speaking, their response came shortly afterward.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

After a short wait, the blacksmith's shop door was pushed open.

Five powerful figures entered one after another and quickly arrived at Cao Xing's side.

They bowed respectfully, "Good day, my lord."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and then said, "Mr. Harold is strengthening his forging hammer. You will hand over your weapons to him in a moment."

Everyone looked at each other.

Since Assam's weapons had already been upgraded, they understood the lord's meaning.

They responded in unison, "Yes."

Then they waited quietly to the side.

Meanwhile, Harold was completely focused on inlaying his own forging.

Under his skilled and meticulous movements.

Only a few minutes had passed.

The frost-blue forging hammer on the forging table then emitted an astonishingly cold aura!

The temperature in the entire blacksmith shop suddenly plummeted by tens of degrees, even freezing the raging flames in the furnace into a solid, icy blue flame.
Moreover, the pitch-black core was emitting strange energy fluctuations.

Cao Xing also sensed a completely different power awakening within this hammer!
