Luo De attempted to teach Bain other spells, but the blazing energy showed no sign of fluctuation, which was quite disappointing.

However, the advantage was that their energy recovered exceptionally fast, ten times that of Luo De.

Without wasting time, Luo De gathered Bain and the other four Yak People who had received the legacy.

He then drew the Ashbringer and placed it in everyone's hands.

Luo De, along with the five Yak People, held up the Ashbringer, the sharp blade cutting into everyone's palms, staining the sword with blood.

However, nobody minded, and they began to mobilize the blazing energy, casting Flame Tempering.

Compared to a dagger, the Ashbringer was several times more, naturally absorbing more energy.

Bain expected this.

However, it wasn't a complete proportional increase because while six people were casting spells, yesterday's embarrassing scene didn't occur.

Everyone felt the energy being drawn but not fiercely, the energy merely trickled like a mountain stream.

The Ashbringer, much like the dagger yesterday, gradually turned scarlet and became engulfed in flames.

The process lasted a long time, even Luo De's forehead began to break out in layers of sweat before the flames on the Ashbringer gradually extinguished.

The Yak People voluntarily released their grip and stepped back, leaving the Ashbringer quietly lying in Luo De's hand, occasionally flashing crimson light.

It proved that the enchantment had been completed.

Luo De was highly anticipative as he carried the Ashbringer out of the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmiths couldn't help but follow, even the Yak People who had just finished casting dragged their weary legs out, and the stationed guards couldn't help but turn their heads to look in.

In a corner of the blacksmith shop's yard, over a dozen wooden stakes had already been set up in advance, specifically for Luo De to test the enchantment effects.

Luo De turned and glanced at the crowd gathered around,

"Step back."

Though curious, the blacksmiths, for the sake of their lives, quickly retreated a few steps.

Vivian also seemed to perceive something, stepping back several paces.

Luo De turned back, directing the remaining blazing energy in his body from his chest and abdomen into his arms, gathering it into his arm and infusing it into the Ashbringer.

Then he suddenly swung the sword—

"Whoosh!"

A dull sound rose as a fan-shaped blaze rushed forward, engulfing everything in front!

For a moment, everyone closed their eyes and leaned back, some even reaching out to shield against the searing heat.

Fortunately, the blaze only lasted for an instant.

By the time the heat subsided, all the stakes in front had turned into shriveled, charred blocks of coal.

Three meters away, the fence of the blacksmith shop had collapsed into a heap, becoming a blackened ruin.

Everyone present stared in awe, not issuing a single sound.

The blacksmith shop immediately fell into a dead silence.

...

...

Outside Xiliu River Town.

Linda handed a bag of silver coins to a somewhat fatigued tall merchant.

"This is all I have. If you can take them to Black Pine Ridge, Baron Rod will give you more rewards."

"Thank you."

The tall merchant accepted with both hands, solemnly saluting Linda,

"You have pointed out a path of survival for us. I really shouldn't be accepting your silver coins, but my goods were all contaminated in the town…"

"It's okay."

Linda smiled at the tall merchant and said, "I entrust all this to you."

"You once pulled me from the mud, today you can also take them away from it."

"Rest assured, Miss Linda."

The tall merchant patted his chest and assured, "As long as I'm alive, I'll get them to where you mentioned, Black Pine Ridge."

"Yes, I believe you!"

Linda nodded resolutely, then walked over to another group of militia, politely instructing,

"When you arrive at Black Pine Ridge, Lord Rod will reward you as well, trust me."

"No problem, Miss Linda. We're willing to do this even without a reward."

The militia captain nodded and saluted, "Compared to what you've done, ours is nothing."

Linda didn't say much more, just smiled,

"Alright, you all set off now."

The militia team and the tall merchant saluted again, and the townspeople in the team also bowed to Linda.

Linda simply waved them off, watching them embark on their journey north.

A female companion walked up and followed Linda's gaze, unable to resist asking:

"Spending your own money to send these refugees to Frost Leaf Town, it doesn't seem like there's much in it for you?"

"Why do this?"

The female companion stared at Linda and asked.

"You, being a wizard chosen by nobility, wouldn't understand."

Linda said calmly, "Once I was just as desperate and helpless as them, it was the Dawn Society that illuminated me like a light."

"Now that I have the ability, I can also illuminate their desperation."

"After all, flames can burn everything."

"But they can also drive away darkness."
