They were standing at the bottom of a flight of steps, and looking upwards, above the tall and wide stone steps, were two tall stone gates, and although the actual doors to the outside world were carefully hidden, the dwarves had built another magnificent gate for their kingdom.

The huge braziers on either side are bright and warm, and the hard granite doors are carved to life by the hands of dwarven craftsmen. Beyond the silent mountains, rushing rivers, dwarves armed with tomahawks and hammers migrated here from the Black Rock Mountains to create their own kingdoms.

Narya knew that it was more than 600 years ago, and the dwarves of the Black Rock Mountains had split into three branches, and there were many theories about the reasons for this, some saying that it was because there was no room for more and more dwarves in the Black Rock Grounds, and others saying that it was because the dwarves supported different heirs after the death of the old king...... In any case, one of the dwarves came to the Silver Tooth Mountains, one to the Bolt Mountains, near the western desert, and one to stay in Black Rock.

She had seen the Black Rock Dwarves in Visa, who were more silent and serious than their northern counterparts, and treated humans more patiently and tolerantly than with kindness, as if they were dealing with ignorant children.

Behind the door is the kingdom of the Dwarves, known to humans as the "Pit". Countless flaming torches lit up the vast space in front of Naria. No matter which direction you look, the dwarves are running around in a hurry on the cascading passages, not squinting, just like a narrow road that is not less than two feet under their feet, nor an abyss beside them. Most of the caves beside the passage were filled with bright firelight, heavy and loud blows, stone bridges, suspension bridges, rope bridges, levers, and ...... criss-crossed with breathtaking skill, some seem to be almost suspended above the abyss-

Yes, it was a formidable abyss, and for six hundred years the dwarves had been driven by their innate zeal to dig down incessantly, and when they looked down, one would wonder if it was the night sky hanging upside down, and the fire, and the gems that shone in the rocky walls, in the minecarts, in the hands of the dwarves, were the stars that filled the sky.

On either side of the pit, there were two huge stone statues of dwarven warriors, standing straight with their battle axes, as if they had grown out of a rock, the back half of their bodies were connected to the mountain, the size of their eyes alone was already more than Naria's height, and there were many dwarves with ropes tied around their waists, lying on the beards of the stone statues and beating busily, as if those stone beards were like their own beards, which needed to be taken care of regularly.

Naria looked down for a moment, then took a dizzy step back.

"It's a miracle that they've hollowed out the whole mountain, and it's not collapsed yet. Tess said behind him, half admiring, half teasing. But Santino apparently only understood the part of the admiration, and he nodded triumphantly and proudly introduced to them: "This is Charin Hall, the home of the Bronze Flame Dwarves!"

They never call themselves silvertooth dwarves, that's what humans call them.

"Where is your majesty? I can't wait to pay our respects to him. "—and can't wait to get out of here. Tess admits that the sight before her is magnificent and stunning, but she hates anything where she can't see the sky.

"You may have to wait a while, the king still has a lot of business to attend to. Someone replied behind them.

By her accent alone, Narya could tell it to be the bearded dwarf Mock Brassy, who was the most proficient in human language among the dwarves.

"We will provide you with lodging, rest assured that you will be treated as guests and not prisoners, at least until King Kogan convicts you. Seeing that Tess's face quickly darkened, and that tears of grievance began to appear in his eyes again, he did not rush to comfort her as he did along the way, but added, "If we catch your companions in the team outside, they will be treated in the same way." ”

He seemed to mean something, and the tears in Tess's eyes immediately retracted as if they had never appeared.

She guessed that the dwarves had discovered the message she had left for Norway and Ed, and she carved it into the bark at her convenience and stuck it back as it was, leaving only a small Y-shaped symbol. She didn't know that dwarves could be so observant.

"You should trust me, little girl, it's not a good idea to leave any message for your companions, it will only make the situation worse for you. The older dwarf shook his head at Tess, who had the most contact with humans in the entire kingdom, and had long understood the cunning and greed of humans, and few tricks could escape his eyes.

He believed that the two girls were not enemies of the dwarves, but they were clearly not as innocent as they themselves claimed - the sword on Nariama's back was not just used to frighten people, and if Tess was lifted up and shaken, the various things that fell out would be absolutely astonishing.

He wasn't going to take anything from the girls, and he wasn't going to lock them up like everyone else. This is the home of the dwarves, and it is impossible for two human girls to escape.

In this way, Nalya and Tess were graciously invited into a small room, and the dwarves left an apparently absent-minded guard in front of their door.

The round room carved out of the rock was not narrow and dark, the roof of the cave was high and warm enough, and the two small wooden beds that were a little too short were covered with thick bedding that looked soft and comfortable, and Tess and Naria looked at each other, but they both looked a little sad.

"Stinky little short-legged ......," Tess grumbled, ignoring the fact that the dwarves didn't actually stink, "I didn't expect dwarves to have such poisonous eyes." Luckily, I just told Norvi that we were safe and told them not to catch up...... Oh, I almost used Elfish language!"

"If Ed and the elves don't hear from us, they'll definitely find a way to save us. Naria said, and that would only complicate things.

"Then all we have to do is pray that they won't be discovered, or that they won't be able to get in. Tess couldn't think of anything else for a while. The outside guards were easy to deal with, but the dwarves in the passage came and went, all the time, and the two human girls were too conspicuous to be able to escape.

They looked at each other for a moment, until Tess resigned herself to the bed and uttered Ed's mantra: "No matter! there's always a way......

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang outside, and the whole room vibrated with it.
