Chapter 437 Hesitation

"As for the eternal fire..."

Before the dwarf king Aitri and Thor could question, Odin spoke again, but only halfway through his words, he frowned slightly, seeming to be hesitant.

The dwarf king Aitri, who was still questioning Thor's ability, was instantly diverted when he saw the expression on Odin's face.

He said with a hint of nervousness: "Your Majesty Odin, the eternal fire is the key to melting that strange metal. Without the terrifying high temperature carried by the eternal fire, even if the blazing sun furnace of our dwarves is fully powered, I’m afraid it will take more than three months to melt that special metal, and it’s not necessarily guaranteed that that special metal will be completely melted.”

"You also know that once that evil god pollution is leaked for too long, it may brew a terrible disaster."

In the view of Dwarf King Ai Cui, the importance of the eternal fire, which is extremely hot and naturally carries terrifying high temperatures and can completely melt unknown metal materials, is undoubtedly much more important than the seal on the seal box.

With the specificity of that unknown material.

Even if no magic seal is applied to the outside of the seal box in the end, it can still completely isolate the Eye of the Evil God from contaminating the outside world.

But without the eternal fire, even if the dwarves built the blazing sun furnace with all the efforts of the entire clan, it would take more than three months to melt the special metal material with full firepower.

And it doesn't necessarily guarantee that that special material will be completely dissolved.

As the destiny furnace of the dwarves, the consumption of the Sun Furnace at full power is a very terrifying figure.

Even when Mjolnir was forged, the Forge of the Sun didn't have full power for that long.

certainly.

Dwarf King Ai Cui did not care about the consumption of the Sun Furnace, what he cared about was the three long months.

Even if such a terrifying thing as the Eye of the Evil God is "dead", Ai Cui will not be at ease at all.

Who knows what will happen in these three months.

And without the help of the eternal fire, can the temperature in the Sun Furnace completely melt that strange metal into one.

It would be okay if it could be done.

If this is not possible and there is a flaw in that strange metal after melting, then when the seal box is formed in the future, the flaw may be magnified countless times.

If this causes problems with the forged seal box, it will not only waste precious time.

It might even lead to a catastrophe.

As the king of the dwarves.

These risks are not allowed by Ai Cui.

Thinking of this, the Dwarf King Ai Cui said in a deep voice: "I know that asking for a treasure like the Eternal Fire is very rude and embarrass His Majesty Odin. If we can, our dwarf family is willing to pay..."

"No, Aitri, you are wrong."

Before the dwarf king Eitri could finish speaking, Odin shook his head and interrupted: "Whether it is the friendship between the dwarves and Asgard, or the friendship between the two of us, in my opinion, it is above the eternal fire. ”

"If I need to pay anything to lend you the eternal fire, it will tarnish the friendship between us, as well as the dwarves and Asgard."

"What I was hesitating about just now was not whether to lend you the Eternal Fire, but... I didn't know if the Eternal Fire in Asgard's treasury could meet your needs."

I originally thought that Odin was unwilling to borrow the eternal fire from the dwarf king Aitri.

After listening to Odin's decisive words, a warmth could not help but surge up in his heart.

When the two dwarf elders behind the dwarf king Ai Cui heard that Odin was willing to borrow the eternal fire for free, they couldn't help thinking with smiles on their faces.

[His Majesty Odin is so interesting and worthy of being the king’s friend. 】

But while they were full of joy, a trace of doubt flashed across the faces of the two dwarf elders.

Burne Bronzebeard, who has a reckless and direct personality, even asked directly: "Your Majesty Odin, you are worrying too much. The eternal fire, as one of the most stable and powerful flames in the universe, how can you not be satisfied? our needs.”

"Although that special metal is strange, it can't make any waves in front of the blazing sun furnace with the added eternal fire."

After saying that.

Burn Bronzebeard once again praised the friendship between the dwarves and Asgard.

Thor's face showed a trace of embarrassment as he listened to the simple and crude compliment.

Compared to Bourne Bronzebeard.

Dwarf King Ai Cui's thinking was undoubtedly quite comprehensive.

After a slight hesitation, while taking advantage of Burn Bronzebeard's pause, Eitri asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Odin, is there something wrong with the eternal fire in Asgard's treasure house? That makes you think that It doesn't meet our needs."

After seeing the dwarf king Aitri mention the key points, Odin nodded and said: "To be precise, it is not that there is a problem with the eternal fire, but that the eternal fire in the Asgard treasure house is too small. "

"Some time ago, Thor's recklessness almost triggered a war between Asgard and the Ice Giants, so I sealed his divine power and exiled him to Midgard to make him reflect."

"But in the process of reflection, Thor encountered several life crises."

"At that time, a mage from Midgard saved him. In order to thank that mage for saving Thor's life, I gave him most of the eternal fire."

"The size and power of the eternal fire in the Asgard treasury is less than one-fifth of what it used to be, so I hesitated just now."

I see.

Odin's answer made the dwarf king Aitri and the two dwarf elders behind him look enlightened.

After finding out the reason, the dwarf king Aitri breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is enough for us."

After exhaling a breath of foul air, the dwarf king Aitri said: "We dwarves have a special combustion aid that can greatly stimulate the power of the eternal fire in a short time."

"Coupled with the Fiery Sun Furnace, this is enough for us to create a sealing box that can seal the evil god's eye."

"Is that so?"

Odin, who was in front of the dwarf king Aitri, heard this and his eyes turned slightly, but he was not too surprised.

With the dwarfs' heritage and love for forging, it is not abrupt to research this kind of combustion aid that can help forging.

Thinking of this, Odin said to Thor beside him: "Thor, take my warrant, go to the treasury, take out the remaining eternal fire and give it to Etri, and let them take it back."

"Yes."

After seeing "Odin" agree to the request of the dwarves, Thor, who has a good relationship with the dwarves, smiled.

After nodding to the two dwarf elders who were looking at him with gratitude, Thor took a metal token from Odin.

Then he walked towards the treasury.

Thanks to the powerful ban of Odin's treasury.

Although Asgard was destroyed by the dark elves in the Dark War a month ago, Odin's treasury buried deep underground was spared.

Through excavation.

The treasures that were previously placed in Odin's treasury have long been moved to Odin's garden.

And the split eternal fire is one of them.

Seeing Thor take Odin's warrant and go to the treasury to take the eternal fire.

With a trace of gratitude on his face, the dwarf king Atre, with the dwarves behind him, bowed solemnly to Odin and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty Odin."

After receiving this great gift from the dwarves, Odin helped the dwarf king Atre up, and then laughed: "If you really want to thank me, when Thor inherits the throne in the future, you can help take care of him more."

Before the dwarf king Atre answered, Bern Bronzebeard behind him patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Odin, Thor is my friend. You don't need to tell us about this matter. We will do the same. And with Thor's strength, maybe he will take care of us at that time..."

After solving a worry, the dwarves looked much more relaxed.

Even the atmosphere in the hall became more harmonious.

·········

Not long after.

Thor, the god of thunder, returned to the hall with the burning eternal fire.

At Odin's signal,

Thor, the god of thunder, directly handed the eternal fire to the dwarf king Aitri.

After receiving the eternal fire, the dwarf king Aitri looked at the burning eternal fire in his hand and was completely relieved.

When he raised his eyes again, Aitri looked at Thor and Odin with a hint of gratitude.

At this moment.

A dignified woman walked to the side of the Queen of Heaven, Freka, and whispered: "Queen, the banquet is ready."

After hearing this, Freka nodded, stepped forward a few steps, came to Odin, and said to the dwarf king Aitri: "I have asked people to prepare fine wine and delicious food. Since you have come from afar, let us welcome you."

Although after getting the eternal fire, the dwarf king Aitri wanted to set sail back to the dwarf kingdom with the eternal fire immediately, but he was embarrassed to refuse the kindness of the queen of heaven, Freka.

"Then thank the Queen."

Odin saw this and waved his hand and said, "The banquet will be held in the palace next door. Thor, take Elder Bern and the others there first. I haven't seen Etri for many years, so it's a good opportunity to catch up."

Although he was a little confused about why Loki, disguised as "Odin", would catch up with the dwarf king Etri, Thor, who was an outsider, couldn't say much.

He glanced at his mother beside him and saw that the Queen Fricka nodded to him.

Thor said yes, and then he took Bern Bronzebeard and others who seemed to be eager to taste the good wine of Asgard to the banquet hall.

After Thor led his people away.

Odin waved away the guards around the hall.

Until only Odin, Fricka and the dwarf king Etri were left in this huge palace.

Odin said to the dwarf king Aitri: "What's wrong with your body?"

After hearing this, the dwarf king Aitri was slightly stunned, and sighed: "You finally figured it out."

After a bitter smile, Aitri said: "Although the evil god's eye is dead, the pollution it carries is far beyond my expectations."

"Before, in order to put the evil god's eye into the sealed cube that our eighteen forging masters jointly built, I personally took out the evil god's eye."

"Although I was wearing the furnace armor of our dwarves and specially made insulating gloves at that time, I was still contaminated by the evil god's eye."

Said.

Aitri took off the glove on his right hand, which was made of leather from an unknown animal.

The moment Aitri took off the glove.

A strong smell of decay spread instantly.

"This is..."

Queen Freka, who was standing next to Odin, saw the rotten and black palm of the dwarf king's right hand, which was covered with blue-black hairs. She immediately held her mouth in surprise.

Even Odin frowned deeply when he saw the palm covered with blue-black hairs.

After a careful look for a while.

Looking at the blue-black blood vessels on Etri's wrist that spread upwards, he said solemnly: "This pollution has begun to spread upwards and penetrated into your arm. If it is not handled in time, not only your arm, but also your life may not be saved."

At this point, Odin asked: "Do you need me to use thunder to help you "purify" this arm?"

"Purify" this arm, which means that this arm can no longer be saved.

The dwarf king Aitri, who understood Odin's implication, was silent for a moment and said, "Even you can't save my arm?"

Odin shook his head and said, "This pollution has completely corroded your palm. My thunder power wants to purify this pollution, and it will inevitably destroy your arm together."

"But doing so can at least save your life."

Trade your hand for your life?

Looking at his palm covered with blue-black hairs and emitting a strong smell of decay.

After shaking his head, the dwarf king Aitri put the special glove on his right hand again.

When the glove returned to Aitri's hand, a silver-white light flashed from his hand.

Then the strong smell of decay was isolated again.

Even the blue-black blood vessels on Aitri's wrist were hidden under the silver-white light.

Isolation, suppression, and it seems to have some healing ability.

This glove seems to be a magic weapon?

After a glance, Odin withdrew his eyes from the glove.

Then he looked at Aicui, whose eyes began to flash with determination, and said, "Although this glove can temporarily suppress the pollution, if it is not resolved in time, when the pollution accumulates to a certain extent and explodes, your life will be gone."

Dwarf King Aicui said, "My forging ability is the strongest among the dwarves. Without me, they may not be able to create a sealing box that can completely isolate the pollution, so... before that, I can't lose my arm."
