Warhammer: I don’t want to become an evil god!!

After receiving permission, the defense forces allowed Qin Yun and his group to pass, enabling their fleet to successfully enter the orbit of Nocturne.

However, only the warship carrying Qin Yun was allowed to dock in the port; the other warships had to wait outside the port.

Teborus was somewhat dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"They are doubting you, Saint."

Qin Yun took it in stride, saying, "It's alright. If this puts them at ease, then we'll follow their plan."

Guided by port staff, the warship entered the port smoothly.

Qin Yun led Tiberius and the players out of the warship and spotted the fire lizard warriors who had been waiting for a long time.

Their battle leader, Tu Shan, stood at the front, wearing a heavy Terminator suit.

When Qin Yun looked at this son of Vulcan,

Tu Shan also looked up, and his eyes met Qin Yun's.

The veteran, a seasoned soldier, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Sanguinius?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not the Saint Gilles you're talking about, I'm just an ordinary person who received the Emperor's blessing."

Qin Yun's humble tone greatly increased the goodwill of Tu Shan and the other fire lizard warriors.

"I wonder what brings the Sage to the Star of Night Song?" Tu Shan asked directly, voicing his question.

Qin Yun didn't hide much and told Guilliman that he had been entrusted by Guilliman to promote the original casting strengthening and new technology reform.

“We don’t trust Guilliman,” Tu Shan said bluntly. “He dismantled the Legions and let those Highlords, those idiots, make a mess of the entire Empire.”

“Many things are changing, and it’s normal that the old system can’t adapt to the future. Besides, Guilliman has been asleep for tens of thousands of years, and it’s not entirely his fault that the empire has become what it is today.”

Qin Yun was not discouraged, but patiently persuaded him.

"The Great Raiders destroyed Cardia, the galaxy was split in two, war broke out everywhere, and the influence of the Chaos Gods on the real universe was amplified like never before."

"Without new technologies and warriors, humanity has no chance of resolving this terrible crisis."

Tu Shan looked at the saint before him, then glanced at the line of original warriors behind him.

These new warriors are taller and their equipment is more advanced.

If they can obtain these aid soldiers, the Salamanders Chapter will not only be able to quickly replenish its ranks, but also enhance its combat effectiveness.

However, these original warriors also caused some concern among high-ranking officials such as Tu Shan.

Are the Primal Warriors truly sons of the fire dragon?

Will their addition turn the Salamanders Chapter into Guilliman's tools?

"Why not let Nocturne make the choice?" Blaise, buried in fearlessness, noticed Tu Shan's hesitation.

He stepped forward and made a suggestion.

"How so?" Qin Yun looked at Blaise, the elder, and asked respectfully.

“It’s not impossible for us to accept the original casting technology, but you must complete three trials. Only then can you earn our trust,” Blaus said.

"What kind of trial?" Qin Yun asked.

"Trial 1: Cross a river of lava barehanded. Trial 2: Slay a volcanic behemoth single-handedly. Trial 3: Forge a weapon inside a dead volcano."

Blaise walked up to Qin Yun and told him about the three trials.

These are all exclusive to Salamander recruits.

If he can accomplish this, the Salamander Chapter will accept the reforms.

"Then it's a deal." Qin Yun thought for a while and agreed to Blaise's conditions.

All of Vulcan's sons are equally stubborn.

It's impossible to force them to submit through force.

Only by genuinely gaining their approval can we get them to accept reforms.

“Sage, you are too kind.” Teberus shook his head.

In his view, dealing with a battle group like the Salamanders is as simple as giving them a good beating.

"It's a good thing if we don't have to take action."

Qin Yun did not explain further.

If we really kill the salamanders, what will happen when Vulcan comes back?!

Their own child was beaten and cried loudly, and was even forced to accept reforms.

If the fire dragon gets angry for its cub and storms Terra demanding an explanation, things will get really bad.

It would be better to honestly complete the three trials and win the trust of these sons of Vulcan.

The first task: Crossing a lava river barehanded.

The salamander's gene seed can enhance a warrior's heat resistance and muscle regeneration speed.

Over time, the skin calcifies into a scaly structure, allowing it to survive briefly in magma.

Every new recruit must cross a river of lava to prove that they are worthy of inheriting Vulcan's will.

Of course, this doesn't mean people can swim directly in the lava river, but rather cross it using stone pillars fixed in the lava river.

The stone pillar is extremely hot; an ordinary person would be instantly scalded if they stepped on it.

Only warriors of the Salamander Chapter can pass through.

This was no big deal for Qin Yun.

With the Emperor's blessing and the power of faith, he easily crossed the lava river, wearing a fire-resistant robe.

Then, they killed a volcanic beast.

Qin Yun decided to complete both trials together at the Death Volcano.

Because he didn't know anything about forging, Qin Yun sincerely invited Tu·Shirt...

Hopefully, this salamander warrior can give him some pointers.

Tu Shan, as expected of Vulcan's son, readily agreed to Qin Yun's invitation.

The Death Volcano is the largest volcano on Nocturne, covering a vast area.

The mountain range stretches endlessly, with countless tunnels inside, creating a complex and interconnected landscape.

This place was also where Vulcan and the Emperor once competed.

The most powerful and terrifying creature on Nocturne Star—the fire dragon—also lives here.

Qin Yun climbed the deadly volcano and found a fire dragon with an exaggeratedly large physique in the mountain.

It possesses a pair of enormous wings, which, when fully extended, reach a length of over thirty meters.

It has an organ inside its body that contains a flame bag, which can spew out high-temperature flames.

Its scales are as hard as steel; when a bomb hits them, it only causes a negligible dent.

Qin Yun and the fire dragon engaged in a fierce battle.

Ultimately, they prevailed through sheer power and severed the fire dragon's head.

Hot blood, emitting a pungent sulfurous odor, gushed out, staining the battlefield red.

Qin Yun removed the fire dragon's teeth and bones.

They planned to use the high temperature of the extinct volcano to forge a weapon.

Qin Yun possesses the passive characteristic of the Curse of Knowledge, making his learning speed astonishing.

Even though they had never been exposed to forging before, under Tu Shan's guidance,

Qin Yun quickly mastered the relevant techniques.

It may not be as good as those top master craftsmen, but it meets the minimum standard.

After several days of forging, a dragon tooth spear was beginning to take shape.

Qin Yun was completely absorbed in the forging process.

He found himself becoming increasingly adept at it, as if he had become one with the hammer in his hand.

With each strike, the clanging of the hammer and spear acquired a mysterious rhythm.

When the Dragon Fang Spear was fully formed, the dormant Death Volcano erupted, emitting a terrifying sound, like the roar of a giant dragon.

"The Dragon's Roar!"

Tu Shan's eyes widened. In ancient texts, extinct volcanoes were described as the embodiment of the soul of the world.

Such phenomena only occurred during the Emperor's descent and Vulcan's resurrection.

The lava cave used for forging also collapsed due to this incident.

A piece of rock the size of a head hit Tu Shan on the head with a loud thud, knocking him unconscious.

Qin Yun had no choice but to carry the forged weapon in one hand and the war captain in the other, and rush out of the collapsed lava cave.

A dormant volcano has revived, spewing forth towering lava.

The terrifying heat distorted the surrounding air, and the entire sky was blocked by the billowing smoke and dust, turning it into a dark and gloomy place.

Even the fire salamander warriors had to retreat to ensure their own safety.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

"This is something no living person can endure."

"It seems the guide will have to go through the resurrection process!!"

Can the guide be resurrected?

"Nonsense, he's not an original NPC, of ​​course he can be resurrected. If he's not resurrected, who will guide us?"

"But this volcanic eruption is really scary, it looks like the end of the world."

"........."

The young players stared in astonishment at the crater where lava was spewing out hundreds, even thousands of meters.

In the real world, there are no volcanic eruptions of that magnitude for them to see.

Teberus also looked at the erupting, deadly volcano with a worried expression.

The person I was just clinging to is gone just like that!

Just as everyone was speculating,

Qin Yun emerged from the billowing dust, holding the Dragon Fang Spear in one hand and the unconscious Tu Shan in the other.

When he appeared, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

When Qin Yun handed the forged weapon to the fathers of blacksmithing, led by Sistan, their faces showed surprise.

This weapon is of such high quality that it surpasses the ones they forged, almost on par with the divine weapons crafted by Vulcan.

To be able to produce a weapon of this quality on the first try...

If we do this a few more times, wouldn't we be able to forge all sorts of divine artifacts?!

"Now, have we completed the three trials?" Qin Yun asked Blaise.

“Yes, Saint.” Blaus nodded, then he and his many salamander warriors knelt on one knee. “The salamanders will obey your commands.”

"Get up, no need for such formalities." Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Completing the three trials will allow these stubborn fire lizards to undergo strengthening, so it's worth the effort.

After waking up, Tu Shan first expressed his gratitude to Qin Yun for saving his life, and then said that he had no objection to the result and was willing to accept the reform.

The rest was much simpler.

They arranged for the sages of the Mechanical Order to build the lighthouse.

Perform original forging enhancements on the salamanders.

Give players quests to catch dragons, so they won't get too bored.
