Lu Yao examined the firebox.
This tiny prop created the sea of fire that surrounded the Blast Furnace World.
……
[Muspelheim Firebox]: +10/hour to Faith. When opened it creates a constant slow-growing area of flame around it, and all nearby fire elemental units gain an additional growth rate.
A special substance formed by the power of rules that cannot be strengthened. Can coalesce and breed fire elementals at a faster rate.
The fire box of the original fire giants in Muspelheim, the Land of Fire.
……
The Fire Box had the appearance of jade, delicate and cold to the touch, but inside it was a constant stream of fire element.
If faith output was used as the standard, it was a top-tier treasure of the same level as the [Nature Wand].
While the Wand was a relatively pure combat equipment, the Fire Box was a terrain-making machine that could transform the local environment.
Lu Yao felt a pang of pity in his heart.
It would have been nice for the Blood Knight to pack out all the creatures in the sea of fire.
However.
Even if there was a way to bring out the fire elemental creatures, placement would be a problem. There’s no place in the Pixel World Era Update for those monsters to take up residence.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered.
In the Pixel World, there was something that seemed to be able to link up with the Fire Elemental.
Spectacle: [Egil’s Fire].
–Flame Monolith replenishment speed is related to the fire element and earth element.
If you put a fire box into the volcano of [Egil’s Fire], will it fill up the flame boulders quickly?
Both of these increase the rate of fire elemental unit growth.
Theoretically, they fit very well together.
Lu Yao just wanted to try it out right away to see if the [Fire Box] could create a chemical reaction with the [Egil’s Fire] and turn it into a rapid reloader.
He threw the Fire Magazine into the astral ring behind him and focused his attention on the second piece of loot.
It was a simple and stately octagonal castle fully buttressed with an octagonal tower on each side.
Lu Yao got close to the model to take a closer look and found that the model of the fortress was full of details: there were also pointed arches at the entrance, a pointed lintel, and dripping stones above, pillars tattooed with flames and swords, a group of dwarves in armour carved on the wall, and landing stones for defence in the castle windows, with every trace of masonry clearly visible ……
Even on a modelling level alone, this is a work of art.
……
【Dwarf Fortress LV4】【Prop Form】: A spectacle built and forged by the Dwarf Furnace clan, the symbol and settlement of the entire clan.
Life Value: 23000/23000
Damage: 100
Defence: 200
Speed: 0
[Symbiote]
Multiple individuals can exist in a symbiotic stance, gaining additional benefits.
[Folding Forge]
[Dwarf Fortress Exclusive Ability] The Dwarves have repeatedly forged and hammered the fortress to allow it to shrink and fold, switching to prop form for ease of relocation. The degree of collapsibility is related to the level of the spectacle.
……
Not to be outdone, it’s a level 4 wonder that comes with two abilities.
The [Folding Forge] ability actually allows the wonders to switch into prop form, and the dwarves can carry buckets and run away at any time, which can be called a godly skill for moving and travelling.
It is not only a Dwarf base that can be switched into props, but also comes with turret attributes, as if it has a built-in battle totem. If it is placed in the chaotic area, it will play the role of the sea pin.
Lu Yao pulled his focus back to the [Symbiote].
He asked the Blood Knight in question.
The knight said, “This fortress, my lord, is the Furnace One.”
Lu Yao had a head full of questions.
Nevid explained somewhat clumsily, “The Furnace One becomes a relief on the walls of the fortress, this is the fortress’s ability to make the dwarves one with the fortress.”
……
The Blood Knight’s announcement that he was moving the entire Dwarf Fortress caused an internal debate among the Dwarves.
The Knight changed the fate of the Furnace clan so that the Dwarves no longer had to fear the flames. At the same time, he tackled the seemingly powerful Cloud Giants in the air, exposing their frail true colours.
The Dwarf Fortress is very significant and represents the legacy of the Fireforge clan.
But it can still be rebuilt without it.
There’s nothing wrong with giving it to the Riders.
The dwarves are divided between those who want to follow the fortress and follow the invincible White Knight, and those who want to stay and recast the Blast World.
The two groups are at odds.
In the end, the entire Furnace Clan was completely divided into two groups of people, with a small number of dwarves leaving with the fortress.
The focus of the dwarves’ argument was which side to listen to. The Fire Hearth clan had never acted in groups, so this was instead the biggest dilemma for them.
In the end, the Fire Hearth clan had to make a decision that went against their ancestral tradition: those who were willing to stay stayed, and those who wanted to leave left.
Breaking the stereotype made the dwarves both excited and guilty.
Nevid, however, didn’t care as he picked up the folded and forged fortress and ran all the way to the passage from whence he came, leaving the tiny world waiting for a new life.
A mere ten minutes had passed outside, but seven years had passed in the Blast Furnace world.
……
Lu Yao patted the Blood Knight armour, “Well done!”
Receiving the commendation, Blood Knight Nevid stood upright, “Honoured to follow the mission.”
Lu Yao was in a good mood.
Not only did he get two strategic level props this time, he also obtained a new race of dwarves.
As soon as they are dropped into the pixel world, the dwarves will gradually integrate and bring more changes and possibilities over there.
It was only at last that Lu Yao returned his focus to the Blood Knight proper.
He always had the feeling that Nevid had changed in some indefinable way during these seven years of fighting. It was a subtle change in temperament.
This look made Lu Yao steeply hold his breath.
……
[Apostle LV83] Blood Knight – Nevade

[Nevid’s Exclusive Ability] Whistle Blower grants Nevid the ability to form legions. Nevid is able to raise the Corruptor rank through training and summoning, evolving an even more elite Corrupted Guard.
……
Crap!
Level 83!
Seven years of killing monsters and levelling gold!
Worthy of being the number one slugger under his buddies.
In his excitement, Lu Yao began to savour today’s Blood Knight panel.
Levels, needless to say, had increased by leaps and bounds from before.
Nevid’s [Thick Skin] was replaced with [Strong Life], and his life value and defence value increased drastically. This panel was still in a state without the [Sword of the Forest] bonus, and it would be stronger in group battles.
In addition, [Enchantment] was raised to LV55, and the spell damage was increased significantly, but the mana consumption was also increased exponentially.
If the enchantment is always on, Nevid can only fight at high intensity for 40 seconds, more of a burst damage at critical moments, and can’t be used as a norm.
A few years of fire strangling battles have allowed Nevid to add the [Fire Elemental] ability.
This series of changes caused Lu Yao to think.
Apostolic abilities, it seemed, were not set in stone.
Self-imposed talents are innate, and the other part of the ability can be formed and learnt later.
From this perspective, there is a difference in the innate strength of apostles, but it may not be impossible for them to catch up or even exceed the gifted ones later in life.
Blood knights are examples.
However, from the huge change in Nevid’s panel, Lu Yao could also get a sideways feeling that the battle in the Sea of Fire must have been incomparably gruelling. To be able to make a Blood Knight near death multiple times, the level of that Emperor’s Giant Elephant must be very impressive.
It was a pity that Nevid didn’t have the ability to see the opponent’s level, which was exclusive to the gods.
The Blood Knight commented briefly, “The Giant Elephant’s damage ability is close to that of Sarina’s, and its defence is even stronger, with an irresistible flame spell. It is huge and speed is a weak point.”
That is, a battle-strengthened, speed-weakened, spell-stronger version of the Tyrant.
Lu Yao was a bit thankful in his heart.
This exploration mission, if it was anyone else it might not have gone so smoothly.
As for the flame pattern on Nevid’s armour, it was from the [Head of Greed]. This prop evolved by devouring blood and flesh, and during the Blood Knight’s several years of fighting with fire, it had also evolved to LV5.
“My lord, the Head of Greed has helped me tremendously. It allows me to constantly enter a state of high morale and further accelerate my movement and attacks, without it, it would be difficult for me to kill the Imperial Giant Elephant.”
Lu Yao looked towards the [Head of Greed] on Nevid’s armour.
……
[Head of Greed LV5]: +2/hour to Faith, +4 to Morale. Head of Greed seeks out powerful flesh and blood, growing and evolving by devouring it.
……
Every 1 point of morale causes each member of the hero’s unit to have a 4% chance of entering the high morale state, which doubles movement speed and doubles attack speed for 10 seconds.
In other words, Head of Greed gives the Blood Knight a 16% probability of entering the state of doubled movement speed and attack speed with every attack, which is equivalent to a 10-second powerful state that can be triggered randomly over and over again.
There are very few items that can increase morale and luck, and these two items are not very useful when the value is low, but once the value is up, the extra gain will be very considerable.
For example, the lucky 10 snowman, it can repeatedly steal the fire, but also with the lucky trigger random beneficial events are not related.
Lu Yao was very satisfied with this attempt to open up the crossroads.
He looked forward to the day when the world update was complete, and wondered how the villain inside was doing now.
Lu Yao opened the simulator.
The screen showed.
[Era update in progress]
