Chapter 19: Parting and Meeting

"Boss, where are we heading next?" A puzzled young girl's voice emanated from the darkness, accompanied by a warm glow spreading over the damp, cold ground.

Xi Mu walked out slowly, holding a glowing sphere above his head, with Jed and a little pony following behind.

He turned his head towards Jed and said,

"To the Dwarf Kingdom."

"Can I...ask why?" Jed's face stiffened, feeling a sense of foreboding and starting to worry whether the boss was planning to unseal the Flame Giant Surter, or to make contact with the followers of the Dusk Cult.

Either option was the worst possible choice.

"Don't worry, I just want to find a Dwarf Master," Xi Mu seemed to sense Jed's thoughts and explained,

"I'm not going to contact the Flame Giant Surter. I haven't gone mad yet."

To forge a weapon with a +10 enhancement, it wasn't as simple as finding any blacksmith; it had to be a top-tier forging master.
