The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 832 - 25 I’m Giving Up My Daughter!_3

However, Ivald, the chief, was not so pleased.

Although the weapon had been retrieved, those thirty carts of Gold were swallowed for real and would mostly be charged to his account.

It was uncertain when this massive debt could be cleared.

Moreover, extracting money from a Dwarf was more painful than killing them.

Looking at his daughter still munching on melons in the corner, Ivald’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and then, with resolution, he pulled Luo En to the corner:

“I won’t redeem it, will it work if I give you my daughter instead?”

Luo En was stunned upon hearing this, and then his face darkened as well:

“Which is more important, your daughter or Gold?”

“Both are important!”

“Then swapping one for the other, you’re not at a loss, are you?”

“The money’s not enough. Nine carts are mine; the rest is all borrowed.”

In order not to bleed further, Ivald simply laid bare his shortfall.

Hearing the other party was willing to give up even his daughter, Luo En finally got a real taste of the Dwarves’ miserly nature, and couldn’t help but snort and roll his eyes:

“You can redeem the Gold, but you’ll need to use something else for redemption.”

Upon hearing these words, Ivald’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly:

“What?”

“I hear your Dwarf kind excels at mining and forging; use materials and craftsmanship to offset the debt.”

Luo En answered indifferently, then to prevent these Dwarves from getting any other ideas, he somberly added,

“This is my bottom line. Bargain with me any further, and you won’t be taking the weapon, the Gold, or your daughter home!”

Ivald’s heart chilled, and he hurried back to discuss with his kin.

After a cacophony of discussion, the Dwarves unanimously agreed to the plan to use materials and craftsmanship to offset the reparations.

After all, they were a race skilled in mining and forging, and if they could simply forge some items for this God of the Middle Court to make up for the loss and get thirty carts of Gold in return, this deal was a total windfall!

“I’ve got a big chunk of Ulu Steel!”

“Mithril ore, I have three pieces!”

“I’ll provide the Orichalcum!”

“…”

Quickly, the Dwarves, with their mindsets shifting from huge loss to small loss, and then outright profit, readily contributed their precious ores.

Due to their innate hot temper and impatience, no sooner had they made up their minds than they burst out of the Temple and started constructing Forge Furnaces on the spot, ready to complete this transaction as soon as possible.

But as preparations finished and the Dwarves began their work, they encountered a new problem.

The Flames weren’t hot enough, and many materials were difficult to melt, particularly the Ulu Divine Steel, the main billet for the Divine Artifact, which was extremely solid, requiring a temperature close to the molten rock at the earth’s core and the Sun’s surface to shape.

And such high-level furnaces were only available in the Dwarf Country.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Luo En walked out of the Temple with a smile:

“The Flames aren’t hot enough? Let me try!”

As the God of the Middle Court slightly raised his hand, a divine White Horse came charging down from the sky, neighing as it rushed into the Forge Furnace, instantly igniting golden Flames.

At once, the previously immovable Ulu Divine Steel began to heat up, turn red, melt, and fuse with the other metal materials.

“Quick, open the furnace!”

“Shape it! Quench it!”

The Durin Dwarves by the side, their eyes alight, decisively followed Chief Ivald’s orders, opened the furnace, and let the dark red molten metal flow into the molds prepared in advance.

As the metal began to solidify, they worked according to their roles, some swinging Forging Hammers to remove impurities and rough shapes, others correcting deviations according to blueprints, or inscribing Rune Runes for reinforcement on the metal blocks…

It must be said, though Dwarves are greedy, they are also quite strict in their pursuit of forging art.

Especially now, when the success of this forging also involved their own personal treasures, their enthusiasm and attitude towards work were beyond reproach.

For seven consecutive days, the forge was bright with fire.

Luo En maintained the temperature while hundreds of Durin Dwarves hammered non-stop around the Forge Furnace day and night.

“Dang!”

Finally, as dawn approached on the eighth day, Ivald exhausted all his strength with the final hammer strike, then collapsed, proudly presenting his masterpiece.

“Buzz!”

Two pitch-black Longswords, as profound as the night sky, flew out of the Forging Table and into Hela’s hands, emitting a delighted hum.

With a casual swing, Hela sent a dark ink-like blade flash across the square, and a stone column several meters long snapped cleanly in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Seeing the astonishing power of this Divine Artifact and its perfect fit for her Divinity and Divine Power, Hela’s tense face broke into an excited smile:

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Before the furnace, Luo En dropped his hands, turning to watch Hela fuss over her new weapon with a weary face that showed a trace of satisfaction:

“As long as you like it, give it a name.”

“Night Sky, Sword of the Night Sky!”

Hela raised the two pitch-black Longswords in her hands, replying with pride,

“I will use them to bring you, and Asa, Victory!”

Luo En trembled slightly before the furnace, watching the spirited Hela before him, his emotions inexplicably complex.

It seemed he had once again pushed Fate forward by a step.
