Lin Wudi had just earned a spiritual substance and was in a great mood, so when he saw Jiang Yan's lack of cooperation, he was not angry at all, but even happier.

"Since young friend Jiang doesn't know, then I'll give you a brief explanation." Lin Wudi said cheerfully, "The so-called white dwarves advocate forging in the sunlight, and they are constantly innovating in forging techniques. Their relationship with us humans has always been very friendly."

friendly?

Jiang Yan thought of Elder Geri, the white dwarf elder who lived in Vermilion Bird City. This guy didn't seem friendly to humans at all!

But Jiang Yan didn't interrupt and continued to listen quietly.

Lin Wudi continued, "As for the cave dwarves, as the name suggests, they live in underground caves year-round and have no contact with humans. As for their forging techniques, they are extremely secretive and would never easily show them to others!"

"So, who built the Thunder Furnace for Yingzhou Ancient City? Was it the White Dwarfs or the Cave Dwarfs?" Jiang Yan asked in a deep voice.

"Naturally, they are cave dwarves!" Lin Wudi laughed.

Jiang Yan frowned: "Didn't you say that the white dwarves and we humans have a friendly relationship? Why didn't Yingzhou Ancient City commission the white dwarves to forge the Thunder Furnace?"

Lin Wudi explained with a smile, "The forging of the Thunder Furnace involves many ancient forging techniques. However, the White Dwarves, due to their constant innovation over the years, have gradually lost the splendor of ancient forging! On the contrary, the Cave Dwarves, because they have never interacted with the outside world, have preserved the ancient forging techniques. Therefore, in this world, only the Cave Dwarves can forge the Thunder Furnace!"

"Cave dwarves..." Jiang Yan pondered, thinking of the cave dwarves' forge he found beneath the millennium-old mine. There, he also found a fragment of Thor placed on a forging table. If it weren't for some unforeseen event back then, that fragment of Thor might have already been melted down!

This shows that the cave dwarves' forging skills were indeed very strong!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the blacksmith shop owner in the beginner village. That old man could also remelt magical fragments, and his forging skills were probably no less than those of the cave dwarves!

Unfortunately, the blacksmith shop owner most likely doesn't have the blueprints for the Thunder Furnace.

In a flash, Jiang Yan asked in a deep voice, "City Lord, where should I look for the cave dwarves?"

"The cave dwarves prefer to live underground and have always been reclusive. To find them, we must rely on the help of the white dwarves," Lin Wudi said with a smile. "Young friend Jiang, you should know one or two white dwarves, right?"

So I have to use my own connections to find the cave dwarves?

You shameless NPC, you're making way too much profit from this information arbitrage!

Jiang Yan was extremely frustrated.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say." Lin Wudi, holding the wooden box in his hand, began to shoo people away: "If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Don't disturb me as I absorb this sandstorm wind."

"..." What else could Jiang Yan say? He could only turn around and leave.

When I become the Thunder Overlord, I'll shock your butt every day!

Jiang Yan left the city lord's mansion with a grumble in his heart, and then arrived in Vermilion Bird City through the teleportation array.

As players from various beginner villages flooded into the main cities, the main cities became overcrowded with players.

Jiang Yan stepped out of the teleportation array and saw that the surrounding square was full of players, and the place was bustling with noise.

Jiang Yan pressed down his straw hat, pushed through the crowd, and hurried toward the blacksmith shop in Zhuque City.

The blacksmith shop in Zhuque City is very large. Inside, there are seventeen counters lined up in a row, and behind each counter, there is a long queue.

Jiang Yan's relationship with Geri is so-so, so he can only obediently wait in line to avoid offending Geri and needlessly increasing the difficulty of the mission.

After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally Jiang Yan's turn.

He walked to the counter and lowered his voice: "I am Jiang Taigong, and I want to see Elder Geli."

"Huh?" The NPC behind the counter was taken aback, looking at Jiang Yan with surprise and doubt.

"I've spoken to him before. If you're unsure, you can let him know," Jiang Yan said quickly.

"Please wait a moment." The NPC hesitated for a moment, then quickly left.

Before long, several NPC guards came in from outside the door.

"That's him! He's in the middle of the city! Arrest him!" The NPC who had left earlier shouted, attracting the attention of many players.

Here we go again... Jiang Yan was speechless.

He then obediently followed the guards to the prison in Suzaku City and was locked in the familiar seventh cell.


Jiang Yan was not surprised. After taking out the Water-Repelling Pearl, he walked down the passage.

Only when he saw a green light ahead did Jiang Yan put away the [Water-Repelling Bead]. He then sped up and soon arrived at the end of the passage.

This is an underground space formed by the tangled roots of countless plants. When Jiang Yan entered, Elder Geri, the white dwarf, had been waiting for a long time!

"Jiang Taigong, you should know that my identity is top secret. Next time you come to see me, could you please not choose a time when there are so many people around?" Gerry said with displeasure.

"Elder Gerry, I'm very sorry, but I really have no other way to contact you," Jiang Yan said.

"Hmph!" Gerry snorted coldly and said, "Speak, what do you want?"

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Elder Geli, I wonder if you know any cave dwarves?"

"Cave dwarves?" Gerry's expression changed. "You mean you're going to have those rats forge something? Damn human, don't you trust our white dwarves' forging skills?"

Jiang Yan had anticipated Gri's reaction, and upon hearing this, he calmly replied, "Elder Gri, I naturally have great faith in the forging skills of your White Dwarf race, but this item can only be forged by the Cave Dwarves."

"Hmph, tell me, what things can only be forged by them?" Gerry sneered repeatedly.

"Thunder Furnace!" Jiang Yan said calmly.

"What the hell?"

"Thunder Furnace!"

"What kind of furnace?"

"Thunder Furnace!!"

"..." Grippi kept twitching, cursing himself for speaking too confidently.

But since the destruction of Yingzhou Ancient City, no one has come to the cave dwarves to forge the Thunder Furnace anymore, so it's normal that Gerry didn't think of this.

Jiang Yan didn't mock him, but sighed and said, "Elder Gri, this Thunder Furnace is of great importance to me, but apart from the thunder attribute ore needed to forge it, I don't even have the blueprints for the Thunder Furnace. That's why I had to seek out the cave dwarves. Otherwise, if I had the blueprints, I would have come directly to you."

Upon hearing these flattering words, Gerry beamed and said, "You have good judgment! However, we've lost contact with the cave dwarves for many years, so finding them won't be an easy task."

Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "I would appreciate Elder Ge Li's guidance."

Jiang Yan adopted a very humble attitude, which pleased Ge Li greatly. He said, "Deep within the Broken Sky Mountains, there is a volcano stretching for hundreds of miles. You can go there and try your luck."

Jiang Yanchang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much, Elder Geli!"
