Furnace Castle is a dwarven city built on the mountainside; the dwarves have hollowed out the portion from the mountaintop to the mountainside, allowing sunlight to directly shine into the city.

It looks as if the dwarf city is constructed in the recess of a mountain peak, yet you can see numerous dwarf buildings on the surrounding mountain walls.

The entire city is not flat; it's slightly undulating and stacked layer upon layer. Perhaps due to hollowing out the mountain, the ups and downs are immense, with extremely noticeable height differences.

Kane and the others are now inside a stone house in the middle of the city, with a large part of the building embedded in the nearby rock wall.

From the exterior, you can't tell how big this building really is.

This stone house is not made of pure gray stone but using white marble and unknown black stones. Many parts are painted in colors, giving it a strangely cozy look.

This is precisely Longbei's home.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll go knock on the door. My mother should be home; she's always doing nothing since I was born."

Longbei grumbled a bit as he approached his own front door, clenching his fist as if intending to knock loudly.

However, at the instant his fist was about to land, the door opened from the inside, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.

"Burton!"

The person who opened the door was Longbei's brother, Burton, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Kane went forward with some surprise and gave him a hearty hug.

"Oh, Kane, how did you come to Furnace Castle? Oh, I get it, it must be because of the Beer Festival, right? Alright, don't stand out here, come on in."

Burton looked at them with some surprise, then turned towards the inside of the house and said, "Mom, your young son brought his teammates to visit."

At this moment, a burst of intense footsteps was heard from inside the house, as a dwarven woman wearing an apron ran out from inside.

This dwarven woman had the typical appearance of the dwarf race; however, unlike Longbei and the others whose hair was red, hers was a light yellow wheat color.

She immediately spotted Longbei, who was getting up from the ground, and hurried over to help him stand.

"Oh, my dear son, you haven't been back for a while. I've missed you dearly."

Lifted to his feet, Longbei felt a bit suffocated in his mother's embrace, her arms firmly pinning his throat, making him instinctively pat frantically.

"Mom, let go, I'm going to die! Have you gotten fatter again recently?"

"Bang!"

Longbei's mother landed a punch on his son's head, knocking him back to the ground: "Seems like you still haven't learned how to respect your mother; I really should've stitched your mouth shut when you were born."

This scene of familial love left Kane and the others with twitching eyelids.

Burton, on the other hand, remained calm, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, directly ushering Kane and the others inside.

"I apologize for that. Come inside, don't pay them any mind."

"Haha, your family relationships are really great." Kane said awkwardly.

However, the awkward situation appeared right then.

After all, it was a dwarf's house without considering the size of Kane and the others.

Those like Kane managed to stoop inside and find a seat, whereas Kreya couldn't fit at all, not even if she stooped.

This scene awkwardly stayed frozen.

At this moment, Burton was equally puzzled but quickly seemed to come up with a solution, shouting at his mother who was busy beating his brother.

"Mom, come over here, it's really too rude. Our house is so small the guests can't even enter."

Upon hearing Burton's shout, his mother directly tossed Longbei aside and came running.

She gazed at Kreya beside the house with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, young lady, I'm really being rude, please wait a moment." She came over and gave Kreya a hug, then went to the front door.

She extended her hand into the void, pulled out a blue crystal stone, and tossed it inside her house.

After the crystal stone dropped inside the room, it shattered into pieces, emitting a dazzling blue light.

"Alright, everyone, please come in!"

Longbei's mother warmly came over, directly grabbing Kreya's hand to lead her inside the house.

Kane and the others followed closely behind.

After bending their heads and stooping through the door, the interior space changed drastically.

The originally low ceiling stretched up to nearly four or five meters in height, making the entire room spacious.

"How interesting, how did you do that?" Lilu, who was always beside Kreya, had her curiosity piqued upon entering, flapping her wings flying around Kai An's mother asking familiarly.

Longbei's mother turned her head to see Lilu, her expression somewhat surprised, then performed a complex gesture Kane and the others couldn't understand.

This time, it was Lilu's turn to be surprised; she immediately suspended herself, greeting Longbei's mother with the same gesture.

"It's indeed a Little Fairy, but if you want to know, I'll teach you how later, alright?"

Lilu, hearing the answer, happily nodded then intimately hugged her neck.

It seemed the previous gesture directly enhanced the relationship between Lilu and Longbei's mother.

"Look at me, too happy and almost forgot. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Danfoss, mother of Longbei and Burton, thank you for taking care of Longbei."

Everyone immediately returned the courtesy and began introducing themselves.

"I'm Kane; the help should be from both of your sons to me, especially Burton who provided essential assistance on my path to growth."

"You're too kind, truly a bunch of good kids. It's a pity you must endure Longbei's obnoxious mouth; let's stop standing and chatting, come over and sit down.

Burton, we have guests, why don't you showcase your culinary skill, otherwise why did you learn it?"

Facing his mother's words, Burton glanced and shrugged at Kane and the others with a resigned look, then went into the kitchen.

However, various furniture seemed somewhat miniature to Kane and the others, let alone the larger Kreya.

Danfoss had anticipated this; she waved her hand, making the furniture enlarge as if being magnified several times.

From such magic, one can see Danfoss is also a powerful dwarf.

Her first son Burton is already over 600 years old, while her younger son is only 150 years old, going by dwarven average lifespan standards, she's at least on the Silver tier.

Presumably, she might even be gold.

After all, both Burton and Longbei's talents are evident, a minimum achievement would be gold.
