Chapter 77: GM's Meister - 2

The Lord GM took a young dwarf named Ollun as his artisan.

Through the Lord's mercy, she was healed, and Ollun began crafting the Lord's items, spreading them throughout the land.

Soon, hunger disappeared.

This was the Lord's third miracle.

Dwarven Meister Ollun.

A genius girl, born as the eldest daughter of the most powerful artisan family among the three noble Dwarven families.

At the age of one, she perfectly understood all the theoretical knowledge passed down through her family's traditions.

At three, she identified flaws in a masterpiece created by her father, the head of the family, and suggested a solution.

By five, she completed a work that left all existing Meisters in awe.

A genius who might appear only once in a thousand years, an avatar of Pythe, the god of the furnace—these were the kinds of titles used to describe her from a young age.

She was a small, young girl, but even the Meisters of the great furnace, with hundreds of years of experience, couldn't easily dismiss her.

As she grew older, her talent didn't fade; it only blossomed further.

She analyzed ancient documents about long-lost weapons and succeeded in restoring them.

She built the Dwarven super-high-temperature furnace, which had only been a legend.

This invention matched the power of the best existing furnace in the "Central High-Temperature Underground City," but required far less manpower to operate.

Several years later, after completing her coming-of-age ceremony, she was recognized as a full-fledged dwarf.

She was immediately awarded the title of "Meister," the highest title granted only to the best artisans, by the Elder Council.

Normally, one would have to spend centuries as an apprentice to build up the necessary experience to be considered for such a title.

Yet, there wasn't a single dwarf who objected to her becoming the youngest Meister at barely 100 years old.

Each of Ollun's creations surpassed the current Dwarven techniques by far.

Dwarves from across the continent flocked to learn from her.

She was an outstanding developer, artisan, and teacher.

All those who received direct instruction from her experienced a rise in their own craftsmanship.

Although she was considered young at barely a hundred years old, just having completed her coming-of-age ceremony, all the dwarves revered and followed her like a senior Meister.

Some Meisters were jealous of her, but in the face of her overwhelming talent, such trivial emotions crumbled away.

The dwarves believed without a doubt that they would soon witness the birth of a "Dwarven Queen," a master artisan only known in legends.

However, ten years ago, when Ollun was around 110 years old, an incident occurred while she was developing a new project using a super-high-temperature furnace fueled by magma.

"Whoa!"

"The magma is out of control!"

"You must evacuate, Chief Meister!"

The magma supplying heat to the furnace began to behave erratically, unlike ever before, running wild.

"No! I'm fine! The furnace is under my control! Evacuate everyone while I hold it back!"
