Alice led the team on a distance of several hundred meters, and on this distance, with the help of Brian's ability, she successively unearthed the remains of four dwarves from under the swamp.

But there was nothing left of the wreckage, nothing else, not the equipment on their bodies, their weapons, or their souls, there was no trace of it.

"Master, have you found anything?"

When the sixth dwarven corpse was discovered, Brian, who was watching, could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, and stepped forward boldly and cautiously asked the question in his heart.

"Here, here, and here."

Alice's little hands with dragon skin gloves are on the dwarf's back neck, at the spine, and turn over to the front of the chest.

"It's clear that each of these dwarves was killed with a single blow, and the dwarves were killed without even reacting, and it seems that these dwarves were wearing their precious armor before they died. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Alice said as she flipped the two lenses that had been corroded into the air and had turned into semi-liquid.

"But master, aren't dwarves usually wearing armor with strong defense, and ordinary weapons can't penetrate their bodies with a single blow. ”

Brian, who has fought in Scandinavia, has seen the outfit of those dwarves when they fight, it is a metal armor that even wraps their eyes inside, it will give people a very heavy feeling from the outside, I don't know what kind of metal is made of what kind of craft, that kind of armor is not only very light, but also very strong in defense, even if the giant gate attacks with those huge totem poles, the dwarves inside have become meat sauce These armors will not be damaged in any way.

However, now Alice told Brian that the dwarves were killed by the enemy while wearing the armor, and he couldn't imagine what kind of attack could penetrate the armor so cleanly and kill the dwarves inside with one blow, and that kind of attack was beyond his imagination.

"Don't think about it. ”

Alice changed into new clothes and used magic to summon clean water to wash her hands again, came to Brian's side, and explained lightly.

"Although I have to admit that the armor made by those dwarves does have good defensive power, it does not mean that they can defend against all attacks. ”

"Those who have reached the legendary level don't need to think about it first, and the phrase [only legends can fight legends] is not just talking. ”

"Even if you are a mortal, if you have great technology, dexterity, and the same sharp blade, it is not very difficult to do this. ”

"Besides, it's a swamp, not a Scandinavian snowfield. ”

Ignoring Brian, who was thinking about the next to her, Alice took a few steps forward, raised her hand, and a green light appeared in her palm, suddenly exploding, forming a wonderful circle on the ground in front of her.

A large snake mixed with green and earth color appeared in the middle of the circle, the big snake should be more than ten meters long, the inverted triangle snake head is about the size of an adult's fist, dark yellow eyes looked at Alice, spit out the letter, and then turned and burrowed into the swamp next to it.

The fluffy mud shook slightly, and Brian could clearly see a straight line in the distance, which quickly disappeared from sight.

"Let's go, I think there must be some surprises waiting for us ahead. ”

Alice said this, and without further explanation, she walked forward.

Behind her, those rhinoceros people have formed a circle several times, none of them are wearing the armor that Alice bought with a lot of money, they are just wearing a simple piece of clothing, in a special place like a swamp, no matter what kind of defense this kind of thing has, it is just a burden, if you really encounter the enemy, not only can you not protect your own safety, but also put the people in armor into a more disadvantageous position, the soft mud will let the guys in bulky armor fall into it.

Although they were not wearing armor, the outermost rhinoceros people all held wooden shields and iron two-handed swords, while the warriors who were surrounded by these rhinoceros people with shields held crossbows in both hands, and the crossbow arrows loaded on the crossbows emitted a strange light in the faint miasma, and it was obvious that the crossbow arrows on them were all good things that Alice had tested in Scandinavia and the power of the rune had strengthened.

Brian was also surrounded by his companions in the middle position, as a rhinoceros who could enter the eyes of his master, because of his faith, and because of the status of his race in Jutland, these rhinoceros people consciously put his life above their own life, and they felt very honored and happy that Brian was valued by Alice. After all, rhinos and humans are different, and these simple rhinoceros people don't have any fancy intestines, and it is difficult to form such a thing as jealousy in their minds.

"Shhhh ”

Alice put her index finger in front of her mouth, and made a quiet gesture towards the rhinoceros man behind her, she had just received the message from the monster she had just summoned that there was a battle going on about a kilometer away from where they were now, but Alice's judgment was that it was more likely to be a massacre with no power to fight back.

Because the snake's brain was not capable of complex thinking, and could only describe what it saw and heard in simple words, Alice had no choice but to go out herself.

She turned her head and instructed Brian the Rhino to lead the troops of the Rhino Man to stay here without doing other unnecessary actions, and the girl also took out a small wooden sign from her bosom and handed it to Brian, on which the Rune was inscribed.

This is a new method of use of the rune developed by Alice, as long as it is within a radius of three thousand meters, this small wooden board can be used to talk to the person who holds another wooden board that also burns the rune rune, in general, this is the effective distance of only three thousand meters that Alice invented can only make simple calls, the simplest "mobile phone", which is simpler than the communicator in the trading place that Alice used before.

Unless an enemy above the legendary level can kill all of these rhinos in a single blow, then these rhinos can notify Alice and ask Alice to come back to help.

"Let me see what kind of thing it is that allows these dwarves to send troops to bypass Jutland and come to this uninhabited land in the face of the destruction of their country. ”

"What kind of treasures and secrets are hidden here...... It really makes me curious. ”

With the girl's chuckle, Alice's figure slowly disappeared into the miasma mist.

------

There is a legend that is widely circulated in this area, and no one knows when this legend appeared or what was circulated here, but whether it is the Yeats of Scandinavia, or the barbarians living in the Ural Mountains far east, even the white bear people living in the northern ice fields, the birds that live in the sky without a fixed place, and the various monsters that lurk in the dark and deep sea, all kinds of legends know such legends.

Hidden in the Rhine, the legend of the miraculous gold

According to legend, there are three maidens living in the Rhine, the fairies of the Rhine, who were born to be gods by the Rhine

And in the hands of these three Rhine nymphs hold the treasure that is said to be able to rule the whole world, and it is gold, gold with magical powers...... It is said that if a ring is made out of this gold, the whole world will be ruled by the person who holds the ring

Some people dismiss this legend as completely fictional, while others think that there is no wind and no waves, and think that they are the protagonists of those novels, and that the magical gold of the legend will finally reach their hands

Countless careerists have ruled the world for their ridiculous, so-called ambition to rule the world, among them there are kings who rule vast territories, there are invincible demigod warriors, there are also wise men and sages who are unparalleled in the world, whether they are male or female, whether they are old or young, and even those who are dying and ready to step into death, they are all crazy, without any reason, without any thinking

These careerists led their followers deep into the depths of no civilization, fighting countless beasts, monsters and even demigods in the deep mountains and dense forests, the blood flowing from the corpses stained the entire Rhine red, the pure and unblemished springs were also stained with filth, the corpses of the defeated piled up mountains after mountains, summoned countless vultures and jackals to feed on the carrion, and continued the fiercer and bloodier battles.

In the end, even those high gods could not resist the greed in their hearts, and they fought one after another, and powerful spells bombarded the land of the main plane without scruples, and even the Rhine River, which ran through half the continent and nurtured countless creatures, began to flow backwards under such an attack.

Hundreds of years of war began on this land, I don't know how many heroes, how many warriors were buried in the Rhine, I don't know how many white bones were buried under the rhizomes of those blooming beautiful flowers, and when the gods fell, and the entire main plane was mourning, the changes in heaven and earth finally brought these crazy guys back to their senses.

They stopped waving their weapons and began to think calmly about what they had done, and then they all felt ridiculous that they had been fighting for so many years for a so-called rumor...... What makes the survivors feel even more ridiculous is that there are so many people who have died for such legends, legends without any basis and without any intelligence.

However, the matter did not end there, although there were some sober people who withdrew and left this land, but there were still many, very many people who decided to stay, and the absence of the fight did not mean that they gave up their ambitions

Every piece of land on the earth has been turned over by them, and the bottom of the Rhine is also their figure, but ...... To their disappointment and despair, not to mention the piece of gold that had the legendary magical effect of allowing people to rule the whole world, they did not even find the three fairies who lived at the bottom of the Rhine, as if everything was just a joke.

Whoever makes a ring out of this gold will have endless power and wealth in the world. 】

The result is just a legend that circulates in people's mouths.

The people who were still stranded here gradually dispersed, and no one took this legend of the death of a god as if it was a lie, and a hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years passed quickly, and people began to forget about it, even the long-lived demigods and gods began to forget.

But...... Not everyone has given up, not everyone has forgotten, in a deep valley north of the main plane, in that deep valley that has been shrouded in fog for many years, there is a dwarf who has kept this legend firmly in mind

When Artela's invasion began, and the whole of Scandinavia, and even distant Jutland sent reinforcements to defend against the enemy, this dwarf, the king of the dwarven kingdom of Nibelungen, he had a cunning that other dwarves did not have, and lost the straightforwardness that other dwarves had, but he just sent a few teams to block the curiosity of the Jeats in disguise, and then quietly boarded the ships that had been prepared long ago and bought from those long-eared guys, crossed the North Sea, bypassed Jutland and successfully landed on this land…… The dwarves, who had never seen the vastness of the ocean and the winds and waves of the North Sea, could not distinguish between the real north and the south, did not find the Rhine, and only knew that they walked blindly south, and finally came here.

Once again, the dwarf named Alberrich set foot outside Scandinavia...... He deceived his people, deceived his country's army, and even his own sons and descendants, all of whom were deceived by his lies, believing that he had led them to the land to fight against the Lord of Destruction, and to fight the Jeats on both sides, and to attack the Attira army from behind.

They had no idea of Alburych's ambitions, of the gold of the Rhine, of world domination, and of the love of the three fairies...... Yes, the dwarven king named Alberrich fell in love with the three fairies conceived by the Rhine, and even though he was not sure whether the legend was true or not, he had never seen them in their appearance.
