Chapter 109 The Furnace
The problem of Sarah's tongue being frozen was actually easy to solve. Garna took a cup of hot water and slowly dripped it down Geno's arm. The grip that clung to his tongue immediately melted.
Although this embarrassing thing became a joke in the next few days, Sarah was still able to remain calm and appeared in the captain's room every day to chat and laugh.
Now they have been deep enough into Frelljod. According to the map, Lu Township should be in the nearby mountains and ridges.
They searched in the snow and ice, and it was the first time that Gana discovered the traces of Lu Township.
Gana distinguished the vague smell of sulfur in the bitter cold wind. She led the Zhuyuan to fly somewhere. Not long after, Geno saw a large cloud of thick smoke coming out from a distance from a certain flattened hill.
The Zhuyuan No. 1 immediately drove over and floated on this unpopular mountain.
The hillside was covered with black stones, and the eyes were covered with scars, and there seemed to be a fierce battle. Geno took the lead and stood on the edge of a huge circular pit, and then discovered a maze of charred foundations below - this is the remains of a small town, but it has not been recorded on any map, except for the one in his hand.
He opened the sheepskin scroll that drew the map, and the marking on it said that the mountain was called "Old Aoun's Half Mountain", and the remains in the belly of the mountain were formerly called Luxiang.
In the center of the ring pit basin, a stream of blue smoke penetrates straight into the sky, where there is a huge natural furnace.
"Finally found!"
When he saw the furnace, Geno's eyes lit up because he knew that it was not a furnace, but Aoun's body.
The fire was burning fiercely, and the scent of sulfur smelled blue smoke appeared, secretly in line with a certain rhythm. Geno was wondering if that was Orn's breath.
The steaming ground was very difficult to walk on, so a few people climbed down the mountain and came to the furnace.
The round dome outside the furnace is the only thing that looks handmade. The furnace itself is a huge ram head, with small bunches of goat grass growing among the embedded stone slabs. The ram has a ball of fire in its mouth, so bright that it can be seen even with eyes closed.
They gathered in front of the furnace, and then Sarah spoke:
"We're here, but where is Orn? Legend has it that he is as tall as eight pine trees, but not like the kind that can be hidden...small animals..." Sarah glanced at the furnace, and felt that the furnace could not contain such a big beast, and generally no one would take a bath in the magma.
"I heard from Ashe that only the people of Lunn can see Orn. Obviously, there are no people of Lunnn among us, and no one believes in the God of Forging and its fire."
Without Geno's advice, everyone else was confused. He never expected that the furnace in front of him was Orn.
"This furnace is so strange. No one can add fuel but it can burn and not cool down. I don't feel like it is a furnace, but more like a fire volcano."
Ezrel thought with his chin in his arms, worthy of being an experienced adventurer. He immediately noticed the abnormality of this furnace. But in the end, he could not avoid the common belief that there should be signs of life in the furnace in front of him, and his thinking went astray.
Only Gana keenly felt that the furnace contained huge magic, and it was not ordinary magic, they seemed to have life? So the fire could keep burning in the ice and snow.
"Yes, people without faith cannot see him. Even if those with faith are blind, their fire will light up in their eyes." Geno said meaningfully, and the others began to retract their gazes of searching for secret passages, and instead searched for the shadow of the ram in the choking air.
Geno shook his head. The actions of these people lacked a trace of spirituality, and only Gana understood his prompts.
Gana found that she met the conditions in Geno's words, and it can even be said that he was talking about gods like himself. As long as people with faith can see themselves, the rest must appear on their own initiative to observe their existence. And their inability to see Orn means that it does not want to see them?
But it is impossible to return empty-handed when you come. I believe Geno thought so too. She would better find a way to let Orn come out for a conversation.
"Geno, I suspect this furnace...is Orn. The flames in it are alive, he is beating like a heart..."
Jeno, who was not sure, whispered softly, but he didn't know that the latter smiled knowingly when he heard it:
"Hmm, I've seen it a long time ago."
"I know why you didn't say it!" Gana turned into a blue bird and pecked Geno's ear, blaming him for his pretending to be profound.
When the others heard their conversation, they suddenly realized and changed into strange eyes to observe the furnace.
"I'm also thinking about how to awaken him," Geno explained.
"Wake it straight?" Jax stepped forward and knocked the furnace with the lamppost, trying to physically wake it up, but the furnace ignored him.
"You might as well throw the eternal flame into the stove," said Geno.
When Jax heard that he was going to sacrifice his life, he firmly disagreed.
"Does I have any mechanism for Kang Kang?" Ezreal began to circle the furnace. Geno was afraid that he would accidentally poke some basic point of Orn and anger Orn, so he quickly stopped him.
"Can't overturn it!" Before Syndra took action, Geno knew what she was going to do. This made her blush slightly, and she had never been so sympathetic.
In the hot environment, everyone's face was more or less red, and she was not worried about being seen abnormal.
"Have you thought of a solution? Geno." Gana asked. Even if you know that the furnace is Ornn, it would be useless. If Ornn doesn't want to wake up, they can't do it.
"Orn will wake up if he feels the approach of Wallybell. He hates this younger brother. If we can take out something that exudes Wallybell's breath, we may be able to awaken him..."
The last time Ornn woke up was to save a tribe with the existence of the Rouhu during the pursuit of Woliber and the Bears.
"But we don't have that kind of thing either." Gana was helpless.
In this way, he made a loud conspiracy in person and said the name Aoun hated, but did not awaken the God of Forging. Either it was completely inaudible, or it was caring and careless about them.
"Since there is nothing he hates, I can only get something he might be interested in."
As he said that, Geno lit a flame in his hand.
Eternal flame.
Although the power of the world rune was almost squandered by him, due to the frequent use of eternal flames during this period, he unknowingly mastered this magic flame, and could use magic to create it even without the world rune.
Geno approached the furnace and brought the flames to the ram's head's nostril.
He had no special thought, just wanted Orn to smell the "scent" of the eternal flame. He had watched a lot of cute pet videos before, and there were often situations where he woke up the dog with fragrant food, so he wanted to use the same method for Orn.
