Because he really needed an iron hammer to repair his beloved swing. To someone who lived to play, having his favorite swing broken was more terrifying than death. More importantly, he himself was also a pharmacist. Pharmacists needed many finely crafted vessels and bronze cauldrons for refining elixirs, work which was always assisted by the arrogant Master Artisan Dorong. But the headstrong and proud Dorong had a temperamental personality, who would often use metalworking to threaten him. As a pharmacist, he had no achievements in metalworking, not even the basics, and the most damnable thing was that Dorong was healthy and strong, never needing his elixirs for illness and injury. So whenever there was some disagreement, it always ended with him compromising. This resentment, he had held for a long time. Being pointed out by Su Chen today, did he feel a sense of rebirth?

He surreptitiously glanced at Dorong and found him indeed looking displeased, secretly gritting his teeth, that furious expression made Andy even more delighted.

"I've got plenty of iron ore here. If you want, I can even give you a pile, haha!"

Andy, like a child who had received a toy, laughed heartily, "But after you forge the iron hammer, could you also help Kula and me fix the swing? Also, I need a few excellent medicine cauldrons and grinding bowls for my alchemy. I'm not very skilled in forging these things."

Andy gave a glance at the skeptical-faced Kula and said leisurely.

Su Chen's lips curled into a confident smile, "No problem~ But Andy, about the flame and that intermediate fire attribute secret manual..."

"As long as you complete what I said, I can give you the fire source!"

Andy agreed readily!

Upon hearing this, both Kula's and Dorong's faces changed, but Kula, who was not one for words and had benefited from Andy earlier, found it inappropriate to say anything. However, Dorong coldly said with a green face, "Andy, don't think just because you're appointed by the lord, the flame is your sole property. Kula and I also have the responsibility to guard it!"

"But the lord only appointed me as the Guardian of the Flame; you two are just my assistants." Andy said smugly, "Besides, he's only borrowing it temporarily, isn't he, Kula?"

Kula nodded silently.

Su Chen stood by with a faint smile, secretly thinking, borrowing? Once I fully absorb it, you won't be able to get it back.

"Andy, you green-haired ghost, if you don't listen to my advice, you'll regret it!" Dorong said viciously.

"Dirty bug, I think you're just jealous of his forging talent, trying all sorts of ways to intervene. Save it, soon I'll have what I want, and I won't have to look at your face to act, hahaha!"

Andy laughed heartily, leading Su Chen towards a giant melting cave, leaving Dorong and Kula standing there with gloomy expressions.

After they walked away, the silent Kula finally said in a low voice, "Dorong, Andy seems to have forgotten to mention one thing."

Angry, Dorong snorted and said irritably, "What thing?"

"Without the assistance of Dragon's Tongue Grass, forcibly absorbing the flame source would only turn that kid into a puddle of turbid water."

Kula's voice was eerily cold.

Dorong's body froze, then slowly a cold smile appeared on his lips, "Well, Andy, you've planned it out, ruthless~ Hehe, that little dwarf is being sold out and doesn't even know it..."

But thinking about the future when Andy would no longer be under his control, he couldn't help feeling uneasy again, "Damn Andy, don't think you can escape my grasp with a few iron hammers and broken bronze cauldrons. Just wait, I have a hundred ways to make you beg me again."

Finished, he also walked toward his own melting cave, leaving Kula in deep thought, not moving for a long while. ...

Su Chen hadn't faced such a large pile of ores alone for a while.

At least when bathed in the slightly golden-yellow glow of the iron ore, he stood in a daze for over half a minute. Meanwhile, Andy, with a face full of excitement, continuously rubbed his slightly coarse hands from years of alchemy, standing aside like a child waiting for his father's reward, gazing at Su Chen's contemplative profile, eyes filled with an irrepressible trace of a smile.

"How about it, is it enough for you to forge those things?"

His voice carried a touch of obsequiousness that made Su Chen's heart throb.

"More than enough, and then some."

Su Chen said, embarrassed, "Andy, how do you have so much iron ore?"

He was not foolish enough to think Andy had foreseen his visit to the three Witch Immortals.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good. Can we start forging now? Make a big iron hammer first; the medicine cauldron and grinding bowl can wait until last."

He seemed very eager to fix his swing.

Su Chen silently thought, truly a Dwarf Witch Immortal who lives to play. But this makes it easier to deal with.

"Andy, prepare the furnace and bellows, the anvil, tongs, and hammer for me..."

Su Chen was just saying this when he froze; he forgot that Andy had asked him to forge these metal items because he lacked the ability. Yet here he was, asking Andy for these tools?

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you, those forging tools are only in Dorong's cave..."

Andy rubbed his hands with a dry laugh.

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Chen sighed, "Do you have any heat-resistant materials and fuel wood?"
