Chapter 276: Magical Underground Kingdom
Early the next morning, Rick called Dylan out and said he wanted to show him a tour of the Gomore Kingdom.
Dylan had wanted to politely refuse, as he was prepared to devote all his energy to the study of magic.
But Colin has also been pestering Dylan, hoping that he can accompany him to the underground to see the other side of the Gomore Kingdom.
In fact, Colin can feel that Dylan's mood has not been very high recently, and he hopes that Dylan can go out more and slowly get rid of the loss in his heart.
In the end, Dylan couldn't stop Colin's innocent eyes, so he could only agree to accompany him.
In this way, Rick took his apprentice and Colin to a wide plaza with a huge spiral staircase in the center.
The staircase spirals downward, giving people an inexplicable sense of mystery.
Following Rick all the way down, Dylan only felt that the summer heat was getting weaker and weaker, and was replaced by an extremely refreshing cool feeling.
After walking down for a few tens of meters, Dylan finally came to the dungeon of the Gomore Kingdom.
Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, Dylan couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Colin even shouted, "Wow, that's beautiful!"
Dylan also never imagined that the underground of the Gomore Kingdom would be a completely different world.
As far as the eye can see, the buildings here are denser and more lively than above ground.
Dwarves can be heard talking and clanging sounds everywhere.
As a senior foundry, Dylan could naturally tell at once that someone was striking iron.
To the left, a wide waterfall cascades down the hill and into a large river in the middle of the dungeon.
The cool and refreshing feeling seems to come from the waterfall.
"Behind that waterfall, there's a huge cave with a big impeller in the cavern, and in the summer, we turn the impeller so that the underground kingdom of Gomore won't be too hot. ”
Dylan was stunned, and then asked, "Is it winter?
Rick said with a smug face, "In winter, this dungeon is even more comfortable. We're going to heat up the water from this underground river to make it warm. Including the ventilation of the entire dungeon, it will be well done, and it is impossible to get stuffy. ”
As Rick walked on, Dylan looked around curiously.
I saw that above my head, at intervals, a hole four or five meters wide would appear, and if I looked up through the hole, I could see the clear blue sky.
"We called it the patio, and it both helped ventilate the dungeon and let in some light," Rick said. Of course, once the Gomol is active, we will close all the patios and ventilate the area in other ways. ”
In addition, Rick also introduced many other magical facilities to Dylan, which made Dylan have to sigh that the wisdom of the dwarves is really powerful.
Rick said with some pride, "Many of the human experts in architecture and engineering have great respect for the skills of our dwarves, and they often read books about the dwarves to improve their skills. ”
Dylan was convinced of this, after all, the dwarves were indeed much stronger than humans in terms of talent and attainment.
After walking some distance further, Dylan smelled a very strong aroma of wine.
The smell is so charming that people feel slightly drunk after a few more sips.
Rick pointed to a huge stone building not far away and said, "This is the Thunderstone Distillery, one of the three major breweries in our Gomore Kingdom. We dwarves love wine, I think you have already experienced it yesterday. Therefore, the amount of wine we need to consume every day is also very large. ”
When Dylan arrived at the door of the distillery, he was also deeply shocked by the scene inside.
I saw that in the extremely wide hall, there were rows of huge wooden barrels twenty or thirty meters high.
At this time, many dwarves carried empty barrels, lined up to the bottom of the huge barrel, opened a valve, filled the empty barrels one by one, and then moved them to the corresponding corners to store them.
Dylan looked inside and counted a little, there were at least fifty or sixty of these huge barrels.
"Is every big cask full?" asked Dylan, in disbelief.
Rick nodded, "It's almost full." Even if the wine is packed into small wooden barrels, the big ones will soon be filled with freshly brewed wine. Especially in the past few years, we have been consuming fine wine faster and faster, and these large wooden barrels are almost too late to fill. According to my older brother, my father was thinking about building a fourth, bigger winery. ”
Dylan was speechless for a moment, which shows how crazy the dwarves' obsession with fine wine is.
After walking through the distillery, Rick continued inside with Dylan and Colin.
It didn't take long for the three of them to come to a huge furnace.
Feeling the oncoming scorching breath, Dylan felt a sense of kindness in his heart, he had indeed not cast for a long time, and his hands were really itchy.
At this time, I saw that many dwarves were swinging the giant hammers in their hands, and they were struggling to knock on pieces of steel.
On the walls of their flanks hung all sorts of armor and weapons that had already been crafted.
As a senior caster, Dylan didn't need to step forward at all, just by observing from a distance from here, he could judge the quality of these armors.
Dylan was shocked to find that each of the armors and weapons that had been completed was at least "advanced", and even about thirty percent had reached the "expert" level.
I only heard Rick say: "My casting level is nothing in the entire Gomore Kingdom! ”
Dylan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I don't have a lot of room for improvement!"
You must know that there are only a few expert-level foundries in the entire Ganeman Empire, and they have a very high status in the empire.
But in this Gomore Kingdom, "expert casters" have become ubiquitous, which has to make Dylan sigh again in his heart: the dwarves are really powerful.
It's just that Dylan is curious, why has such a powerful kingdom been guarding such an active volcano that may erupt at any time for countless years?
This left Dylan very puzzled.
