From a distance, the city, with its black and red colors, looks like a giant standing in the underworld. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe entire city is made of solid stone blocks sintered to black and red, and there is no decoration on the rough stones, which is also the rough and atmospheric art style of the dwarves.

The stones are bonded with a special dwarven adhesive material, and with the magic of the priest of the upper temple, the city stretches infinitely along the cavern above like black technology.

And beneath the Molten Iron City is an abyss of churning magma. For thousands of years, the ancestors of the Molten Iron City have mined along the mountains and expanded the city to the underground, and they have conquered the terrible volcano with strength and wisdom, making the lava available to their people according to their will.

The magma layer has been suppressed as the city has expanded, and the once unruly magma has dropped thousands of meters from when the city was first built. Today, the Molten Iron City sits on top of the boiling abyss, which is based on a huge cylindrical platform in the center of the abyss, and three hundred meters down the surface is a molten pool of fire that spews out tongues of fire.

Teckling spoke of the glory of this miraculous city, and he said that the city would continue to expand in the future. The dwarven craftsmen are still working tirelessly digging down the massive cylinder foundation, and in the future, they will carve out new blocks in that cylinder......

But Charlotte always felt that the dwarves were dying.

He knew that the dwarves who loved forging were not so good at it as they liked to build their homes near volcanoes, but even if there was a handy magic or magic, it was a volcano!

What if one day the elite priests or mages can't maintain the balance of the Molten Iron City...... Charlotte thought of the spectacle of the volcanic eruption that sent the entire city to the west, and she felt that the dwarves living in this dangerous city were all mentally ill.

This thought reached its extreme as the group walked along the swaying steel cable bridge.

There are eight of these bridges forged from refractory steel, which serve as access to the Molten Iron Castle, which connects the two sides of the lava abyss. The steel cable is so strong that it is said that even the sharpest of divine weapons can only leave a small gap in it.

But contrary to the sturdiness, the stability of the steel cable bridge is extremely poor. The hot wind pouring from the lava abyss sometimes swayed slightly, and when people, especially caravans, swayed in either direction with exaggerated amplitude as they walked on it.

Charlotte, who had 10,000 ways to escape even if the steel bridge broke, felt that the experience was terrible. He would rather be carried by Afra at tens of thousands of feet in the air and perform all sorts of dangerous maneuvers than stand on this hot rocking bridge.

By the way, this hot sensation actually comes from the visual, not only from the boiling lava in the abyss, but also from the long, forked tongues of the half-blood snakes who are traveling with them.

As for the group in the north, they had each cast a thermostatic spell as early as they approached the steel chain bridge. If there is such a convenient spell, a few people who are used to the cold climate of the north are afraid that they will not be able to endure the heat for a long time and turn around and leave.

The steel bridge, large enough for two carriages to stand side by side, were patrolled by dwarven warrior sentries every few hundred meters, and along the way, each patrolling guard saluted Teklin with respect. The 4,000-meter-long bridge took half an hour to walk, and when you finally stepped on the cylindrical island, the mystery of the city built under the mountains was finally revealed.

Up close, the Molten Iron City looks more like a sprawling tower-like structure. The height of the tower is incalculable, and every 60 meters or so, several steel cable bridges extend from the tower to the stone wall of this artificially excavated karst cave.

The rock walls are densely packed with three-meter-high caves, which are in fact the real dwellings of the dwarves, Teklin explains. The so-called Molten Iron City is more like a huge complex building that integrates forging, training, trading, and work.

This unique architectural style intrigued Charlotte, as the city's strict separation between living and working areas suggests that the dwarves were an interesting race for a strict separation between work and life.

For them, they should work rigorously and meticulously at work, and drink wine without any interruption during breaks.

This social ideology of dwarves is completely different from the ideology of human beings, which mixes public and private. But this is not about who is good and who is bad, it's just that their concepts are different.

For example, there will be alien nobles like Charlotte among the humans, and there will also be treacherous wonders like Teklin among the dwarves.

Along the way, Tecklin gushed about the city, and it was clear that this treacherous creature had a heartfelt love for Molten Iron City.

Under his leadership, the group entered the huge black-and-red tower-like city without any questioning. The structure of the interior of the Molten Iron City is even more peculiar, it almost resembles a huge stepped square. After entering the city, Charlotte and the others stood on a huge square, and at the end of the square was a ramp that led to the plaza on the second floor, and then extended upward like a staircase.

The plaza on the first floor is mainly a defensive camp outpost, which acts as a second line of defense behind the Molten Iron Fortress's chain bridge. Charlotte and the others walked up to the upper floor, led by Teklin, who had to make a handover of the materials obtained from the transaction.

Charlotte saw terrible crossbows on the sentry posts, and well-dressed dwarven warriors patrolling them. In addition, there are stone bunkers built regularly in the square, and there are small holes in the bunkers, which look like products from the previous World War II period.

Tyclin noticed Charlotte's curious gaze, and he triumphantly explained, "Once upon a time, those pointy-eared people used to laugh at us for not being able to pull a hard bow for the rest of our lives. They were right, because of our height, we really couldn't pull our bows and arrows like those pretentious pointy ears!"

He smiled and walked quickly into a bunker. After a moment of negotiation, he held a black tubular handle in his hand, and his bearded face had a smug expression of showing off.

"So we invented this, and from then on, we never had to worry about not having enough long-range firepower!"

Charlotte thought it was familiar, and he took it and realized that it was the original musket from his previous life.

Early muskets were not very fast to reload, and they were not as easy to fire as longbows in terms of range. But at a radius of 100 paces, this weapon is more lethal than the longbow, and the lead warhead is extremely harmful to the human body.

In the medieval social form of the world of Steeu, the first musket of the previous life can be seen, this sense of inversion makes Charlotte can't help but rub her eyes.

"This is a musket?"

"Yes, have you seen it, Brother Charlotte!" Teklin handed Charlotte the musket, "and I gave it to you, as a testimony of our friendship." But you have to promise me that you won't steal our muskets!"

To be honest, in the world of High Magic's Steeu, this musket had no effect on Charlotte at all. Not to mention muskets, even the atomic bomb of the previous life is not even comparable to some powerful legendary spells in this world.

However, its significance is truly extraordinary.

It represents not only the friendship of the dwarves, but also Charlotte's past life that she is about to forget.

"Thanks, my friend. ”

This was the first time Charlotte had thanked Teklin from the bottom of her heart.
