When Vaði learns that, he brings Velent back home and sends him to two skilful dwarves who live in a mountain called Kallava.
The dwarves agree to teach Velent everything they know, but threaten to kill him if his father does not fetch him at the appointed time.
Velent then sails to Denmark in a hollowed-out tree and eventually arrives at Jutland, where king Niðung is reigning.
At the eve of a battle, Niðung realises that he has forgotten his victory stone and offers his daughter and half of his kingdom to the one who can get it before sunset.
Later, Velent tries to avenge himself by poisoning the king and his daughter, but he gets caught, is hamstrung, and is set to work in the forge.
But he eventually kills Niðung's two younger sons in his smithy and makes a whole set of tableware for the king out of their bones.
