Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 65 Giant Blacksmith
Riding a horse and galloping all the way, Li Lin crossed Lake Lienia and passed by the road to the Magic Academy.

There are some soldiers scattered along this road, wearing uniforms similar to the soldiers of the Magic Academy.

When passing a meadow, he heard the cuckoo's cry.

There is a sealed prison here.

Entering the prison, Li Lin killed the mountain demon knight imprisoned in it after the battle.

The mountain demon is a descendant of a giant. This mountain demon actually holds a big sword and can use the giant sword magic of the Kalia royal family.

This is probably one of the Troll Knights who signed a contract with young Lenara.

Losing consciousness and actively attacking one's enemies is already the norm in this world, but Li Lin doesn't quite understand why the mountain demon knight loyal to Kallia is imprisoned here?

Crossing this road, he came to several ruins.

On the way through the ruins, Li Lin met a considerable number of magicians.

It is a pity that in this world, most of the people wandering in the wild are lunatics who have lost their minds.

The strength of these magicians is not strong, so Li Lin simply galloped all the way on horseback.If you encounter someone you can't avoid, swing your sword to kill him.

After walking out of the ruins, he saw a tall giant on the side of the road.

The giant is sitting on a stone with a huge forge in front of him, holding a huge book in his hand and reading.

His torso is a little thin, his skin is gray and black, and he is more than five meters tall without standing up.

He was wearing a full-coverage, prison-like hood made up of countless golden mirrors, not even his eyes and nose were exposed.

"Oh, are there visitors? It's so rare."

He looked away from the book and raised his head.

"You look like a fader...huh?" He stopped talking suddenly, his golden mirror-covered face staring straight at Li Lin's iconic tear mole under his right eye.

"Mr. Iggy?"

Li Lin asked tentatively.

"You...you are..."

The answer came from his reaction. The blacksmith recommended by the half-wolf was actually Mr. Iggy, the giant blacksmith whom Carlos had met several times in the Carlia Walled City!
"I wonder if you still remember me... Carlos, the boy who learned the sword."

"Ah..." The giant seemed lost in memory.

"Looking at your appearance, I couldn't confirm it yet. I didn't expect you to be from Calia."

"At that time, I was still serving the Kalia royal family as a blacksmith... It has been more than ten years."

He lowered his head and stared at the knight who reached only to his waist.

"You've become a Faded One, still wearing the armor of a Lost Knight, all these years..."

"Ah, sorry, it's not very polite to use such an inquisitive tone."

"It doesn't matter." Li Lin smiled and waved his hand, "I'm very happy to see people I knew before. You still remember me, which already surprises me."

The giant blacksmith was a well-mannered man.

He thought of the vicious half-breed blacksmith in the hall of the round table.

However, these two should be good people.

"The royal family of Kalia..." Gazing at the fair-skinned handsome knight, Iggy, who was supposed to be old, was lost in memory.

Under the leadership of Lani's mother, Queen Full Moon, the Kalia royal family that ruled the Lienia region should have been prosperous.

The contradictions between the academy and Kalia, between the stars and the moon have been going on for a long time.

The relationship between the two is only friendly on the surface, but behind it, there is a turbulent undercurrent.

In the end, the immortal wizard of magic, the queen of the full moon, Renala, came to the academy, subdued the academy with her own full moon magic, and became the actual controller of the academy by virtue of her personal strength. .

After that, he thought that the Kalia royal family, which had almost unified Lienia, would go on the path of incomparable prosperity.

And he, as a sinner blacksmith, will dedicate the rest of his life to that queen and her Kalia.

Then, the red-haired hero became associated with the Queen of the Full Moon, and led a powerful army to become an ally of the Calian royal family; General Latarn of the Broken Stars sealed the stars with one person's power, cutting off the development of star magic, and the academy gradually declined. Everything seems to be going in the right direction...

After that, the red-haired hero left, and the heartless queen was imprisoned in the big library by the academy.

With the decline of astrology and various reasons, the Kalia royal family turned to the exploration of the power of the moon, and parted ways with the academy that explored the stars and then turned to explore the pyroxene magic.

The "Callia Knights" of the Kalia royal family aimed at magicians; and the "Cuckoo Knights" of the academy also aimed at countering magicians.

With the Queen imprisoned, the magical war begins again.

The scope of this war spread is very large, almost affecting most of the Lienia area.

After a battle full of corpses, the Kalia knights won.

Regarding this battle, as a blacksmith who has served the royal family for many years, he knows a little secret that not many people know.

A large part of the cuckoo knights have already fallen to the royal family.

Although the Kalia Knights ultimately won, this area has become scarred.

Moreover, as the Ring of Magic and the Golden Law were broken, and the Rune of Death was stolen, too many people lost their minds, and more and more monsters walked in the world.

The red-haired hero once brought some help to the royal family of Kallia.

These aids once helped Callia in his battles, but now they have become one of the accomplices in Callia's destruction.

Of course... it might be regarded as still protecting the city of Kalia.

Countless magical traps, platinum sons, spider-like fingers, magicians who have lost their minds...

The prosperity of Kallia eventually became a dream that had to be awakened as the world collapsed.

The once majestic walled city has now become a place of death where strangers are not allowed to enter.

Unexpectedly, I could still see Kalia's orphan here...

"Mr. Iggy?"

The giant came back from his memories, and the young man in front of him asked him with some concern.

Li Lin called the blacksmith who was distracted.

Mr. Iggy probably knows some information about the Kaliya Walled City, and he wants to know what is happening there now.

Was this child exiled because of the loss of blessings?

Or was the exile actually meant to protect him?

Being kicked out of your hometown is never a good memory, so let’s not talk about it.

----------

"Oh...I'm also very surprised to meet you."

The giant finally came to his senses and spoke to him in a gentler tone.

"It seems that you have become a qualified fighter. So, although the forging skills have regressed, I still don't want to retire, and I am still working as a blacksmith here silently."

"I didn't make a weapon for you back then. Now, how much ability do I, an old man, have? Do you want to find out?"

He said with a smile in his voice.

"Thank you so much." Li Lin raised the hound's long teeth in surprise, "This is the weapon I have now... Well, but I have run out of strengthening materials, can I pay with runes. "

"Haha." The old man let out an open-minded laugh, "I am also a member of Kalia, this time I will give you a farewell gift."
