“Help you certify?” Qin Lun looked at the old dwarf curiously.

“En, a blacksmith who forged Legendary Equipment with his own hands will be awarded the title of Grandmaster by the Horn of the Devil!” Old Francis smiled hopefully.

After the old dwarf explained, Qin Lun instantly understood. Amongst the five major management races of the Horn of Devils, the Dwarves were the only intelligent race that did not use their personal strength.

Compared to powerful races like the Abyss Devils and the Rakshasa Race, their strengths lay in their mastery of forging and mechanics. In fact, the Dwarf Race and another Wind Elemental Race were the most important factors that made the Horn of the Abyss a Sky City.

The core power plant of this apostle city was created by the dwarves. It also included most of the steel statues used for defense, and the energy was supplied by the wind elementals.

Because of the existence of the apostles, the Broken Star System was perhaps the only space-time world that could unite most of the opposing intelligent races. At the very least, in the mission worlds Qin Lun had experienced, many people couldn’t imagine that the Abyss Devils and Rakshasa could coexist with the elves and dwarves.

Because of their characteristics, the status of individuals in the dwarf race was determined by their forging and mechanical level. This diligent and intelligent race had many blacksmiths, some of whom were blacksmiths like Francis.

However, there weren’t many Forging Grandmasters who could independently design and forge Legendary Equipment. The Dark Gold Equipment of the Apostles was a heaven-earth threshold, and so were the Forging Grandmasters and Grandmasters.

Once promoted to a master blacksmith, Francis would not only gain a high position in the clan, but also receive attention in the Horn of the Devil. This was the greatest honor a blacksmith would have in his life.

However, to be promoted to a master blacksmith, it was not enough to rely solely on craftsmanship. An apostle had to sign to prove that one of his equipment was indeed made by a blacksmith.

Of course. Legendary equipment that had advanced from Dark Gold to Legendary like Light and Dark Burial was not acceptable. It had to be newly designed and forged Legendary equipment.

“Haha, don’t worry. I will provide evidence to the Horn of the Abyss and provide a picture of Ayala’s weapon casing.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. This kind of proof did not need to show Ayala’s specific information. It was just that the appearance of the picture would not reveal the functional secrets of the weapon casing.

As he spoke, Qin Lun’s gaze inadvertently swept past the Forging Apprentice in the forging room. Ayala was a newly designed Legendary Equipment, and the process was rather complicated. Even if all the materials were available, it would still take more than twenty days. Francis naturally could not complete all the forging work by himself.

The old dwarf quickly noticed Qin Lun’s concealed gaze. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. He hurriedly whispered, “I will ask them to sign a soul contract. I guarantee that they won’t reveal any information about that Ayala artifact soul.”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he restrained the gentle smile on his face and quietly stared at Francis. After a long while, seeing that the old dwarf’s gaze was firm and did not show any signs of retreating, he lightly nodded and moved his gaze away.

Although there were few loopholes in the contract to shatter the starry sky, the apostles had countless ways to circumvent the oath. A master blacksmith like Francis might not be forced, but his apprentices might not be.

If Qin Lun killed Ayala after she woke up today and other people knew about it, then Qin Lun’s good relationship with the elves would be affected. This was not something Qin Lun wanted to see.

However, Francis had cooperated with Qin Lun twice. He had handled the funeral with his hands and tails very well, and no one else knew the details. Moreover, Qin Lun would have to find Francis to forge equipment in the future. Both sides needed to trust each other.

Seeing Qin Lun leave, the old dwarf let out a long breath. Looking at the Forging Apprentices in the forging room who didn’t know that they had just been lucky enough to avoid the calamity and were still cheering for their teacher to become a Forging Grandmaster, they shook their heads with a bitter smile.

An apostle is an apostle, even the gentle-looking Qin Lun …

Old Francis shook his head and put away his meaningless reverie. He murmured in a somewhat confused tone, “It’s been more than thirty years. Perhaps I should leave the Horn of the Devil and return to the clan to enjoy the peace and happiness. It’s not bad to teach my disciples!”

…

Qin Lun did not know that a dwarf blacksmith who had come to the Corner of the Abyss to serve the apostles in his youth and had just become a grandmaster had decided to give up everything and retire to his hometown because of a sliver of killing intent that he had accidentally leaked.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Qin Lun himself. Instead, the old dwarf had watched too many cruel battles in the Corner of the Abyss and felt disheartened.

After returning to the villa, Qin Lun instructed Frank and the others before heading into the room to check the new notifications on the death list.

Erasing Ayala’s consciousness brought him another unexpected surprise. The legendary hunt for advancement quests had been completed!

There was nothing wrong with the judgment of the Shattered Universe. Ayala was an independent consciousness before she was erased. The Broken Starry Sky acknowledged its legendary identity and treated Qin Lun’s actions as part of its hunt mission.

Actually, Ayala wasn’t without resistance at that time. After the Tree Demon awakened, the Spiritual Energy or energy it absorbed from so many precious materials was still very abundant. It could be used for its own wood magic. Not to mention the large-scale control skill of the weapon casing itself-Dry Glacier.

However, Qin Lun threatened the Moonlight Fairy Clan, but it didn’t dare to resist. The longer he lived in the shattered starry sky, the more Ayala understood how terrifying the apostles were. The Tree Demon had made a fatal mistake, and under Qin Lun’s uncompromising will, it was already doomed.

Killing a legendary soul alone allowed Qin Lun to complete more than 70% of the legendary hunt mission.

Qin Lun took out the rune bottle that was filled with azure ice flames from his storage space and started to think about it. He was hesitating whether to advance to Second Grade immediately.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Lun put away the rune bottle again. The advancement of the apostle could be accomplished in both the quest world and the Broken Star System, but as his strength increased, the Star System’s evaluation of him would also be higher.

Qin Lun’s current apostle title and true combat strength were roughly between the low-magic world of high-intensity missions and the middle-magic world of low-intensity missions when he was assigned a mission world in the Shattered Universe.

If he were to level up to Second Grade now and add in Grant, the clown with outstanding strength, they might be assigned to the Middle Demon World in the next quest world.

However, in the next mission world, they had a high chance of going to war with the superstring space. The apostles and reincarnators of the Low Demon World would normally be large numbers of low-level reincarnators with a small number of mid-level reincarnators. However, the Middle Demon World would be directly upgraded by one level, with a large number of mid-level reincarnators with a small number of low-level and high-level reincarnators.

Even though he was about to advance to Second Grade, and then familiarize himself with the new Demon Hunter profession, it was very attractive to Qin Lun. However, for the sake of safety, he still suppressed this strong temptation.

The completion of the Ayala Armament Box allowed Qin Lun to finally complete all the preparations before entering the mission world. After spending another weekend peacefully, he once again felt the space-time rejection of the shattered starry sky.

“You’re here?” Standing at the entrance of the teleportation hall, Grant looked indifferently at Qin Lun and Rice who were walking over side by side.

Qin Lun had explained to him once that the clown didn’t mind if there was another cannon fodder in the team. As for what Qin Lun said, this was an important rookie that Vice Guild Leader Lost had asked him to take care of. The clown didn’t believe the slightest bit.

It’s not like he hasn’t carried out a mission with Qin Lun. When did the Decomposer become a babysitter? Without using her as a cushion, even if this oval-faced elven girl’s ancestral grave was smoking.

“Fatty baby fat, your skin seems to be pretty good!” The clown glanced at Les and said something that puzzled her.

“Grant, I’m serious. If this little girl can be brought back alive, it will be helpful to us in the future!” Seeing this, Qin Lun sighed and slightly widened the distance between him and Les. He moved closer to the clown and said seriously.

“Oh? Alright, you’re a boss this time. Whatever you say is fine!” Grant looked at Qin Lun in surprise. He immediately shrugged his shoulders and said that he had no objection. This time, he could tell that the young man was serious.

After entering the sealed teleportation room, Grant lowered his voice and said, “Qin Lun, that … I obtained a few good items in the last mission world. Can you return the Iron Cross Medal to me?”

“… No way!” Qin Lun refused without any hesitation.

“You haven’t even asked anything yet?” Grant smiled bitterly.

“Don’t ask. Since you mentioned it, you should be confident. I would rather not ask!” Qin Lun rolled his eyes unhappily. As the strength of the murderers increased, equipment like the Iron Cross Medal, which increased their attributes proportionally, became even more precious.

Grant chose to trade with him at such a time. He must have obtained something good. Perhaps it would be quite tempting to Qin Lun, just like the youth who sold Watkin’s Super Destructive Fist back then.

However, Qin Lun understood that the Iron Cross Medal would become more precious the later he reached, and he had to keep it in his hands.

Back then, was the Ultra Sabotage Fist important to Grant? The clown made up for the lack of sustained attack. It might even have become a core skill in his profession now, but didn’t he regret seeing Grant now?

Thinking of this, Qin Lun felt his teeth itch when he saw Eldemis, the forest goddess, taking advantage of the situation in Nars World. One had to know that his knight, the Iron Cross, was even better than the First Grade Iron Cross he had taken from Grant.

Qin Lun gritted his teeth and sighed helplessly, “If I can enter Nars again …” Nars belonged to the middle-and low-level apostle training ground. If the shattered starry sky allowed him to enter once, it would be considered a benefit. How could it be so easy for him to enter again?

As they pondered, a black crack appeared silently in the teleportation room. A vertical spatial door slowly opened, and the three apostles’ bodies of Laws quickly dissolved, turning into three streaks of light that escaped into the teleportation door …
