Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Xiaobai, why did you go to the Hearth House? Why do you call the Hearth the Furnace of Heaven and Earth?"

Walking out of the cave and coming under the Tree of Life, Teemo couldn't help but ask.

Lulu on the side pouted and stared at Xiaobai. She also wanted to clarify this question.

Judging from the two people's expressions, they clearly harbored some resentment towards the human monks from the Marfa Continent and the Warcraft Arena. Xiaobai couldn't say it directly, so he thought for a moment and said what he could:

"Teemo, Lulu, to be honest, I got a piece of equipment from Marfa, but it's almost broken and needs to be repaired in the Forge of Heaven and Earth, so I have to go to the Hearth House. As for why I call it the Forge of Heaven and Earth, it's because when I was in the World of Warcraft, Her Highness Soraka mentioned that there is a Forge of Heaven and Earth in the human main city of the Warcraft Arena."

Xiaobai threw some questions to Soraka. If Teemo and the others really asked Soraka about this matter, I believe Soraka would help cover up the lie.

"Oh~Is that so! Soraka is proficient in the languages ​​of all races in the world and is knowledgeable. You know what, the name of the Crucible of Heaven and Earth is much more majestic than the Heart of the Furnace." Teemo was relieved.

"What equipment are you talking about? Can you show it to us?" Lulu still had questions.

When Xiaobai was making up his excuse, he asked Brook for a defense ring. So, he put the defense ring with 1/5 durability in his hand and showed it to Lulu and Teemo.

"This...is it a divine weapon?" Teemo said in surprise.

"Oh my God! Xiaobai, you actually got a magical artifact from the Marfa continent!" Lulu exclaimed, stroking her chest.

Xiaobai was very frank in showing them such an important thing, and Lulu finally stopped being suspicious.

"I understand! Put it away quickly and don't let other monsters see it." Lulu reminded.

"Xiaobai, what exactly is the use of this defensive ring?" Teemo asked.

"It can double your defense and summon a shield with over 1000 million health points." Xiaobai said truthfully.

"Oh~ It's really amazing! With it, plus the Finger of Death, I believe you can break through the Demon Sealing Tower, gain the favor of the Soul Tree, and become a hero!" said Timo.

"I hope so."

After answering Teemo and Lulu's questions, Xiaobai said goodbye to Teemo and was led by Lulu to the teleportation array, all the way to the Kindred Sect.

※※※※※※※

The journey was safe and smooth. One day later, the group finally arrived at the Kindred Sect and went to the floating city to meet Xiaofa.

First, he formally added Vichu to Kindred's sect, and found Visha to ask him to settle his brother Vichu; then Brook reported to LeBlanc on the results of the battle in the Void Land. In the past four months, many void creatures were killed, and with Kaisa helping to guard the passage, the void creatures should not come out of the cave in Requiem again; Lulu and LeBlanc were old acquaintances who had not seen each other for many years. Although the Emerald God asked her to go back early, as the saying goes, a general is not bound by the king's orders when he is away from home. After a lot of effort to go on a business trip, she had to play in Kindred's sect for two days before leaving, so she went directly to the lower level of the floating city to choose a room.

Xiaobai took the opportunity to tell Xiaofa how the desert death god Nasus was chasing them and was finally killed by the dragon king Thor.

"The black hole-like skill called Starlight Condensation used by the Dragon King is his ultimate move?" Xiaobai asked.

"No, Starlight Condensation lasts for 3 seconds and the skill cooldown is only 10 seconds. It is just an ordinary skill of His Majesty the Dragon King. His Majesty the Dragon King is the hero with the strongest overall strength on Red Star. You must not provoke him." Xiaofa said.

Xiaobai took a breath and asked again:

"What about His Highness Orne?"

"Although His Highness Ornn's strength is unfathomable, I doubt he can defeat His Majesty the Dragon King. After all, for thousands of years, His Highness Ornn has been obsessed with crafting equipment and has shown no interest in improving his own attributes or strength."

"I see. I'm planning to go to Hearthheart House. Tell me, if Lord Ornn knew that I was carrying the artifact, would he hunt me down like Nasus did?" Xiaobai took the opportunity to ask.

"No! His Highness likes equipment, but he just wants to research and forge equipment. Not only will he not keep the powerful equipment for himself, he will even give these equipment to the heroes of the Alliance for free. You can rest assured, I believe that His Highness Ornn will never covet any equipment in this world, even if it is a divine artifact." Xiaofa said.

Xiaobai nodded. Since Xiaofa said so, it means that Ornn is a very good person.

"But I want to remind you: Don't forget that the Volibear you killed before is His Highness Ornn's younger brother. I'm not sure what His Highness will do to you." Xiaofa said.

"I haven't forgotten, but I still have to go. It's up to Your Highness to decide whether to kill or shave him!" Xiaobai gritted his teeth. Anyway, the resurrection ring still had one life left. At worst, I could pay for my own life, and then Brook would resurrect me.

"Also, how do you get in? The Hearth House is guarded by a barrier, even I can't get in. Unless you become a hero, you will get a chance to enter the Hearth House provided by the Alliance Headquarters." Xiaofa said.

"His Highness the Emerald God has come up with a plan for me: participate in the monthly equipment competition as a believer. If you can win the favor of His Highness Ornn, you will have the opportunity to enter the Hearthheart House."

"Oh~ This method is quite good. But do you know how to forge equipment?"

"No. But I have gold! I plan to buy a powerful piece of equipment to take to the competition. Or... Your Highness, do you know which is the most powerful piece of equipment in our Kindred Sect? Can I borrow it? We know each other so well, there shouldn't be any need to discuss money."

"Haha~ You're dreaming! It's not that I'm stingy and won't lend it to you, but... let me tell you this: Nowadays, almost all the equipment on Red Star, whether sold in shops or worn by heroes, is the work of His Majesty Ornn. You want to compete with His Majesty Ornn's work? If His Majesty didn't have amnesia, he would probably expel you!"

"......In that case, I will go and purchase the equipment made by the craftsmen of the Hearthheart House's believers. I still have 50 gold coins in my backpack. With so much money, I don't believe I can't buy the best!" Xiaobai was still confident.

"Haha~ Then you have to set off early. At the end of every month, the believers of the Hearth Heart House will start an equipment competition. If I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow is the end of the month." Xiaofa said.

"The day after tomorrow, right? It's okay, there's still time."

If it were someone else, they might not be in time, but Xiaobai and Brook are different. They have teleportation rings, which are faster than using the teleportation array, so they will still make it in time.

It was already very late, Xiaobai and Brook returned to their own psychic tower cabin and had a good rest for the night.

At 4 a.m. the next day, before daybreak, Brooke woke up as usual.

Brook and Xiaobai left the ziggurat and set off north. Their coordinates were recorded, and with a continuous stream of teleportation, they arrived at the Misty Forest in less than a minute. The fog was thick, visibility was extremely low, and even the detection necklace couldn't see far. But it didn't matter. The war between the orcs and the undead had recently ceased, and the two sides were in a truce, so there would be no ambushes in the fog.

Passing through the misty forest, they continued northward. They soon spotted the Iceblood Fortress, built by the orcs on a hill. Its high walls were truly fortified, easily defended and difficult to attack. Xiaobai and Brooke had no intention of entering to explore. Having slain the orc demigod Volibear, they were likely to be recognized by the orcs within the fortress, and if they were, they would likely not be welcomed. So, they activated their teleportation ring, passed the fortress, and continued north.

According to the map, Hearthheart House was located in the center of the Freljord, approximately 500 million yards from Icevein Fortress. Brook was within the visible range of the detection necklace, teleporting at 500-yard intervals. He wouldn't fall into pits or cliffs, nor would he stray into the territory of the beasts. He only heard the whirring sound and moved forward quickly, unnoticed.

At 8 a.m., Brooke stopped.

In front is an orc outpost, behind the outpost is a large town, behind the town is a tall snow-capped mountain, and the entire snow-capped mountain is covered by a huge circular barrier.

There is the Hearth Home!
