Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 214: 212 Spicy Snack-Flavored Volcano Core 1

Translator: 549690339

Otto had a keen interest in the Demon Lord of the Land of Red Flames.

According to the map he purchased in Black Gold City, it should be a cursed land where eternal flame burns year after year.

It was said to be one of the starting points for the Demon Lord invasion of the continent in the past, and even now, it still harbored some descendants of the demons.

In fact, even Laitras, at the height of its power, was grievously wounded by one of the Demon Lords there, so it’s possible Otto may run into similar boss battles in the future.

So Otto instructed Gaz to pay more attention to information about such matters and deploy specialized reconnaissance teams for deeper investigations.

After Gaz left, Otto tried to inquire if Konoheim had any intel about this issue.

Unfortunately, however, even experienced Konoheim couldn’t offer a clear explanation.

He had been to the Land of Red Flames but that was a long time ago.

After giving some books he’s written based on his memories to Konoheim, Otto flew toward Red Copper Castle with his dragon wings.

His goal this time was to acquire the Fire Forge Furnace and the Fire Forging Skill.

It seemed that the very object that Lars Lait had set his heart on obtaining was still an unknown to Otto.

Due to his sudden arrival, Red Copper Castle held a grand welcoming ceremony and had Burrowing Worms make a special passage for Otto.

After all, his body was too massive to pass through the existing main entrance.

Dain and Ebik prepared a lavish feast for Otto, and almost all the high-ranking Black Iron Dwarves in Red Copper Castle attended the event.

But it seemed the Silver Dragon was uninterested in such things.

After a quick glance at each other, Dain led irrelevant people to leave quickly.

Although a bit unwilling, Ebik still escorted Otto to the Fire Forge Furnace vicinity.

First thing that caught Otto’s eyes was a heavy metal wall, etched with various exquisite runes.

Even from a distance, one could feel the scorching heat emanating from within.

In the middle of the metal wall was a small hole connected to a smithing furnace.

Ordinarily, dwarves skilled in forging would use this furnace to harness the power of the Fire Forge Furnace.

After just a short while, Ebik was already drenched in sweat, but Otto found it refreshing.

To him, the high temperature here didn’t even feel like a sauna, but rather his favorite temperature in an air-conditioned room.

Ignoring Ebik’s changing expressions, Otto directly smacked the smithing furnace away with a slap and then peered into the opening.

Scorching hot magma flowed out from the hole and pooled on the ground, engulfing Otto’s hind claws.

Despite Ebik’s shocked expression, Otto showed no signs of discomfort.

The hole was too small and hampered Otto’s observation.

So, the Silver Dragon violently expanded the opening with his sharp front claws until his entire head could fit.

Of course, this action also caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly. Poor Ebik’s black face turned beet red due to the heat.

It was no longer suitable for him to linger here, but he didn’t trust leaving the Fire Forge Furnace alone.

He never expected to welcome Otto right after bidding farewell to Lars Lait.

Feeling conflicted, Ebik didn’t know what to do as he watched Otto, who had lost his usual dignity and pomp, sticking his head into the Fire Forge Furnace.

Since the Blood Covenant had been etched into his soul, any resistance against Otto was powerless, no matter what Otto did to the Fire Forge Furnace.

But despite that, he still wanted to stay here.

The perspective shifts back to Otto.

With his head inside the Fire Forge Furnace, he successfully observed its true appearance.

There was a slight discrepancy in his previous understanding, as it turned out that the Fire Forge Furnace was actually made up of multiple volcano cores.

These cores, condensed and compressed by the ancestors of the Three Great Dwarves, floated within the metal walls like mini suns.

The interior of the metal walls was etched with special high-temperature resistant inscriptions; otherwise, the walls would have melted into a pool of iron under the constant baking of these volcano cores.

Gazing at the dazzlingly hot cores, Otto suddenly had a bold idea.

He withdrew his head from the wall and asked the drenched Ebik, “There are quite a few volcano cores inside the Fire Forge Furnace. If we were to remove one or two, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?”

What?!

Startled, Ebik wiped the sweat from his forehead, recalled the contents of the Fire Forging Skill, and gave a definitive answer.

“There shouldn’t be any impact.”

With a dry laugh, Ebik said, “Originally, the Fire Forge Furnace was meant to be used by multiple forging masters simultaneously. If we lack one or two volcano cores, it just means there will be fewer seats for them.”

“I’m relieved to hear that!”

With a smile on his face, Otto once again stuck his head inside the metal wall under Ebik’s stiff expression.

Then, he took aim at the nearest volcano core and leaned in with his mouth.

Despite being condensed, the size and energy it contained were still astonishing.

However, the scariest of the high temperature was not a problem for Otto, who possessed the strength and abilities equivalent to a legendary Red Dragon. After a few bites, he had already eaten away almost half of a volcano core.

The taste was quite unique-chan; if compared to Otto’s previous world’s recipes, the texture was like chocolate, but the flavor was more like spicy strips.

Right, like a big knife meat flavor…

Overall, it catered to Otto’s taste buds.

So, he continued to devour the core even faster, and in no time, the whole volcano core was gone.

Ebik, who was standing on the side and witnessed everything in confusion, didn’t know how to react or what face to make.

Meanwhile, Otto seemed somewhat dissatisfied, licking the corners of his mouth. According to the feedback from the Light Ball Boss, eating just one volcano core apparently wasn’t enough.

So, he set his sights on another core.

Soon, that core also succumbed to his poisonous mouth, followed by the third.

Well, there was no helping it. He just needed that bit more…

Under Ebik’s pleading gaze, Otto finally pulled his head out of the metal wall after devouring the third volcano core, feeling satisfied at last.

It seemed that the remaining cores would be safe. He had paid so much, and it was finally worth it….
