From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 345 Resurrection
Lu Heng was a little surprised to hear the Siren High Priest Sona's request for reconciliation.

She had only one request, that the Dark Iron dwarves stop dumping the embers of Groth.

It seems that the Sirens are not as difficult to deal with as they seem.

Since the Sirens are one of the more ferocious of the many intelligent races, psychics will be left with the impression that the Sirens are difficult to approach.

After interacting with High Priestess Sona these past two days, Lu Heng felt that she was easier to communicate with than he had expected.

It may also be that she is special and not as savage as other sirens.

In fact.

As long as the Sirens can see the situation clearly, they should realize that reconciliation with the Dark Iron Dwarves and jointly finding a solution to the crisis is the most beneficial option for the development of the tribe.

Letting emotions influence decisions is not what a qualified ruler should do.

In order to clarify the Sirens' demands, Lu Heng asked again, "Is there only one request? Are there any others?"

High Priestess Sona thought for a moment and replied, "We have no territorial conflict with the Dark Iron Dwarves, so there is no need to fight. As long as the Dark Iron Dwarves stop dumping volcanic ash into the sea, other matters can be discussed."

She didn't say anything final. After all, she was just making a request, and the Dark Iron Dwarves might not agree.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I will take the Sirens' request to the Dwarf King of the Copper Furnace Kingdom. However, I have a request..."

High Priest Sona narrowed her eyes, looked directly into Lu Heng's eyes, and asked in a calm voice, "What is your request?"

"I hope you can give Friggs to me and take him to the Copperfurnace Kingdom. I am going to help the two tribes mediate the conflict. If Friggs can be brought back, it will be of great help to the negotiations. If Friggs dies, it will only intensify the conflict between the two tribes." Lu Heng planned to save the Dark Iron Dwarf Captain once.

High Priest Sona fell into deep thought and did not agree immediately.

She understood Lu Heng's meaning, and also knew that letting Friggs go back would help ease relations with the Dark Iron Dwarves.

However, the Sirens had finally captured a Dark Iron Dwarf captain, and if they just let him go, there would definitely be a lot of opposition from the Sirens in the tribe.

Lu Heng saw through her thoughts and continued, “Killing Friggs can only make the Sirens feel relieved, but it will not help solve the problem in any positive way.

“After all, Friggs is just a captain of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom and cannot decide the fate of the two races.

“The high priest should know why the recruits are here. One of my tasks is to clear the source of pollution in the abyss.

“This means that there is a source of abyssal pollution in this world that is about to erupt, and this is the event that will affect the fate of the Sirens.

“Leave Frigus to me. I will go to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom and try to mediate the relationship between the two tribes.

"Then we can focus all our time on finding the source of the abyss pollution.

"This is the way to solve the problem, rather than making decisions based on emotions alone. I think the high priest should understand this."

High Priest Sona sighed, nodded and admitted: "I have to say, you always convince me, even though I am reluctant, but for the future of the tribe, this is indeed the best choice.

“You take Friggs away, and I will find a way to deal with the opposition among the Sirens.

"I hope you can do what you promised. I don't trust recruiters easily, especially the first time I see a race like this.

"You are a special case, perhaps because your goals happen to be consistent with my goals, so I hope you can succeed."

"I will try my best." Lu Heng did not make any boasts. It was still unknown whether the two tribes could be reconciled.

I don’t know what the current situation of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom is. Only by going there in person can I know whether this matter has any chance of success.

……

the next day.

In the Sirens' water dungeon, after Friggs woke up, he started banging on the iron door with chains and cursing the Sirens.

He has been locked up for two days, and his feet have started to itch and swell from being soaked in sea water for so long.

Although it wasn't to the point where he couldn't bear it, it still made him very bad-tempered.

He cursed for a while, and then a team of Siren warriors came in, opened the iron door, and dragged him out of the dungeon.

"What are you doing? Are you going to kill me? I'm telling you, you legless creatures, I won't be afraid of you even if you chop off my head!"

The team of Siren warriors ignored Friggs' shouting, dragged him to the door of the dungeon, grabbed a handful of gillweed, pried open his mouth and stuffed the grass in.

Then it dragged him into the water curtain and swam towards the surface.

After diving into the sea water, Friggs' voice finally stopped, because if he opened his mouth again, he would be choked and unable to speak, so he had to shut up.

The Siren Warrior dragged Friggs all the way to the surface and onto a reef.

The reef is more than ten meters wide, and the waves hitting the reef create waves.

The thirteen people led by Lu Heng were already waiting on the reef. Xu Jitong, Cai Jinhong and the other two came to join them last night, so all thirteen people are gathered now.

For this conscription, the thirteen people were divided into three groups and sent to different locations.

A little analysis will reveal the transmission rules.

Liu Haiyang and his six companions are the strongest ocean warriors in the human world today, so the location they are teleported to is closest to the mad sea beasts, and they will help the Sirens deal with the sea beasts as soon as they appear.

The four members of Lu Heng's team are strong in combat, but they have no marine skills and cannot exert their full strength in the sea water, so they are teleported to the Free, where at least they can still breathe air at the beginning.

Xu Jitong, Cai Jinhong and two other special-powered warriors gathered from other war zones.

These three people are not specifically taking the marine enhancement route. There are marine skills in their skill sets, but there is no complete marine combat system.

So they teleported to a small island in the nearby sea, and after adapting to the environment, they rushed over to reunite.

……

Friggs was dragged onto the reef and saw Lu Heng and his group. He asked curiously, "Are you here to see me executed? Friend, promise me one thing. After these damn sea monsters chop off my head, take it back to the Lava Crown and try not to let it be eaten by sharks. I don't want to become shark feces."

Lu Heng found that this guy was sometimes quite silly, and said with a smile: "You won't die for the time being."

Friggs frowned and asked in confusion: "What? These sea monsters want to continue to torture me? How abominable!"

His legs were already swollen from the sea water, and he felt that if he continued to soak like this, his legs would have to be chopped off.

A Siren warrior took out a key, unlocked the shackles on Friggs' limbs, then waved his hand and led the rest of the Sirens into the sea and disappeared.

Friggs stood on the reef and looked around with a puzzled look on his face.

There were no more sirens around, not even a single one, only Lu Heng and his group were left.

He moved his arms and legs and said in confusion, "What's going on? What are these legless monsters plotting?"

Lu Heng walked over, patted his shoulder, put his arm around his 1.2-meter-tall body, and walked toward the sailboat next to the reef: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

The sailboat was not big, only ten meters long, but it was the best means of sea transportation that could be found. Friggs boarded the sailboat with a confused look on his face, and only turned around after the sailboat started to move and asked, "The Siren wants to let me go back?"

Lu Heng nodded and explained, "Yes, the Siren Tribe's High Priest agreed that I could mediate between your two tribes. All I asked for was to take you back."

"How is this possible? These sirens can't be so easy to talk to." Friggs found it unbelievable.

In fact, the Sirens are not easy to talk to, but High Priestess Sona knows that the Sirens are about to face a crisis, and reconciling with the Dark Iron Dwarves is the best option.

Besides, there is no conflict between the two tribes over living space. If the issue of Gross Embers can be resolved, there is no need for the two tribes to go to war.

Lu Heng continued, "I saved your life, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Friggs finally reacted, opened his arms and gave Lu Heng a hug, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, when I return to the Lava Crown, I will thank you with all my treasures."

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, but you have to do me a favor."

Dark Iron Dwarves are usually impatient and do things directly. They are also very direct in expressing gratitude to those who have helped them, without any roundabout thoughts.

So Friggs immediately agreed: "Sure, you tell me, I can do you any favor."

Lu Heng said, "I am going to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom this time to help you and the Sirens reconcile, so I hope you can take me to see your king."

Friggs is the captain of the Free, and his mission is to dump the Embers of Gross. His status among the Dark Iron Dwarves is not the highest, but it is definitely not low, so he is definitely qualified to meet the Dwarf King.

When Friggs heard Lu Heng's request, he frowned, "Wait, you want us to reconcile with the Sirens?"

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded.

Friggs immediately waved his hand and refused: "That's impossible. I will never reconcile with these damn sirens."

Lu Heng said with a straight face: "It seems that the Dark Iron Dwarves are not as kind as the Sirens."

It was such an obvious provocation, but Friggs fell for it easily.

He immediately jumped up and retorted loudly: "Nonsense! We Dark Iron Dwarves are more honest and kind than the Sirens. You actually described those legless monsters as kind!"

Lu Heng asked back: "The High Priest of the Siren Tribe heard that I wanted to help you two tribes reconcile, so he agreed to let you go back. If it were you, could you do it?"

Frigg fell silent for a moment, for it was hard for him to understand why the Siren was willing to let him go.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then proposed a possibility: "Does the Sirens have some conspiracy? Do they want to follow me and raid our tribe?"

When Su Muyu heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then quickly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.

Lin Zeyu reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Doesn't your tribe live in the Lava Crown? If I want to raid you, do I need to follow you?"

Friggs suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, and became even more confused: "Then why did the Siren let me go?"

Lu Heng looked up at the mountains in the distance and said slowly, "Friggs, are you really thinking about the future of your tribe?"

Friggs said as a matter of course: "Of course, for the future of the tribe, I can die in battle!"

Lu Heng turned back and looked him in the eye, and asked, "Then do you know why your king asked you to dump the volcanic ash into the sea?"

"This..." Friggs really didn't know. He was just carrying out the task given by the Dwarf King.

When he accepted the task, his king told him that this task would affect the future destiny of the tribe.

So, he always regarded the task of dumping volcanic ash as a sacred cause.

Lu Heng then asked: "You don't even know why the volcanic ash was dumped, what can you use to protect the future of the tribe?"

Friggs was silent again. He couldn't answer, so he just waved his hand and said loudly:
"I don't care. My king said that what I do is for the future of the tribe."

Lu Heng continued, "There is a secret hidden in the volcanic ash that could destroy your tribe, and this crisis is about to come. Don't you care?"

Friggs' heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know the secret hidden in the volcanic ash, he had been carrying out the dumping mission for a long time and could more or less feel that this matter concealed a huge secret.

Seeing his stunned expression, Lu Heng asked, "Have you heard of the Fire Demon Gross?"

"Of course! This is a powerful demon king defeated by Emperor Thorendal, and the greatest legend of our tribe." When Friggs heard the name of the Fire Demon Gross, he clenched his fists, as if he could see the epic battle between Emperor Thorendal and the Fire Demon.

Lu Heng then asked, "Then you know that the Fire Demon Gross has been sleeping underground for more than a hundred years and there is a possibility that he will revive."

"what!"

Friggs' eyes widened in disbelief.

In the Kingdom of Copperfurnace, the Balrog Gross is an almost invincible and terrifying being. Only their greatest Emperor Thorendar has the ability to defeat him.

However, Thorendal Copperforge, the first Dwarf King of the Copperforge Kingdom, has passed away.

If the Fire Demon Gross is resurrected now, who can fight against this terrible demon king?

Friggs didn't know that the legends he had heard since childhood had made him believe that only Emperor Thorendal could defeat the Fire Demon Gross.

In other words, if the Firelord Gross were to revive now, it would mean that the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom would face the crisis of national extinction.

He asked in panic, "Are you telling the truth? Will the Fire Demon Gross really be resurrected?"

Lu Heng looked down at his eyes, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Think back to the volcanic ash you dumped into the sea, can you think of anything?"

Friggs had guessed it originally, but he had never figured out the secret hidden in the volcanic ash. Now, after hearing Lu Heng's reminder, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face: "You mean..."

"Yes, the volcanic ash contains the ashes of Gros, which are the ashes remaining after the death of the Fire Demon Gros. Your great wizard discovered that the Fire Demon Gros showed signs of resurgence, so in order to prevent the Fire Demon Gros from reviving, he dug out the volcanic ash and poured it into the sea." Lu Heng answered his doubts.

The expression on Friggs' face changed again and again, and he clenched his fist and said, "Then we can't reconcile with the Sirens. We must pour all the embers of Gross into the sea."

When Lu Heng heard what he said, his eyes widened, and he found that this guy's way of thinking was a bit special, so he hurriedly asked: "Didn't you notice the changes in the tidal sea?"

"What changes?"

Friggs didn't understand what he meant at first, but he quickly realized: "Are you talking about rising sea temperatures?"

"Correct."

"What does this mean?"

"This means that even the glaciers under the Tidal Sea cannot prevent the revival of the Fire Demon Gross. Once the Fire Demon Gross reappears, do you think he will let your tribe go?"

Friggs didn't answer the question, but he already had the answer in his mind.

More than a hundred years ago, it was Thorendar Copperforge, the first Dwarf King of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom, who killed the Firelord Gross.

If the Firelord Gross were to revive now, the first people he would destroy would be the Dark Iron Dwarves. On the contrary, the Sirens live on the bottom of the sea and will not be the target of the Firelord Gross.
