Chapter 5: I have been waiting for this scene for three thousand years
"Dwarf...... The dungeon, the demon ...... Son, am you talking about me?" Edwin looked at Alfred and Rudolph as they blurred, and felt like a full wine glass swaying.
"How could I be a child of the devil?"
"Edwin, be sober!" Rudolph screamed to wake him up.
"Hide behind us. Alfred waved his wand and chanted a spell to freeze the crowd.
"Senior brother, hurry!" Rudolph did not hesitate to unleash a burning flame at the place where several people were stationed.
In an instant, the whole body of the several people who surrounded them was burning with flames, but the strange thing was that the flames began to turn from red to purple, and the purple flames kept churning on their bodies, but their movements did not stop for half a minute.
"Damn, Alfred, is there an escape?" rodolf exclaimed.
"The cable car can't sit on it. Alfred pointed to the cable car that had been pushed into the abyss by the men.
"It's forcing us to go deep into this ruin. Rudolph suddenly came to his senses.
"We're not leaving, we're going now. Alfred shouted around, echoing in waves.
But the monsters who were no longer human, shouting "Sir, what's going on?" invariably made way for them.
"Sir, please come in. Wilson's mouth curled in an exaggerated arc as his head burned with purple flames
Said.
"Who told you about the ruins?" asked Rudolph.
"Looks like Duke Attlee's butler. Do you think there's something wrong with him?"
"It's hard to say, now I can only take one step at a time, and I don't even know if I can live. ”
"Edwin, are you afraid?" asked Rudolph.
"Don't be afraid. Edwin shook his head, he used to see ghost fires a lot when he was guarding the tomb.
The three of them walked together by the faint light emanating from Rudolph's wand, and after hurrying out of the camp, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
After walking for a while, Rudolph and Alfred were surprised to find that Edwin had disappeared, as if he had evaporated, without sound or warning.
"Edwin......" Rudolph swallowed his throat as his first apprentice, who had just been a little over a month old, was gone.
"I'm sorry, we thought it was just a relic of the dwarves, but we didn't expect the demon's power to ......" Alfred's face was full of apologies.
"Don't pretend, if you really feel sorry, get out alive, I'll settle accounts with you. ”
Edwin, on the other hand, found himself in the darkness after passing through a layer of foam-like peers, with no light, feeling like there was nothing around him, and he tried to reach out, but only the cold touch was there. He tried to make sure what he was touching.
"What is this?, an ancient legacy?" he was about to approach, when a light suddenly lit up where he touched the palm of his hand.
"Boom!"
A human face with a terrifying smile, bulging eyes bulging out as if they were about to explode, and the arc of the smile was exactly the same as the things in the camp before.
His hand retracted suddenly, and the distance between him and the face was only an arm's length, and there was only the face of the person who was glowing, and the rest was still dark.
Edwin took a deep breath, "Is that the one you're talking in my ear?"
"I guessed it right. The voice came back to his ear, but the face remained the same.
"Little ghost, you released Borui?"
"Yes. ”
"What a fool he is, the real son of the devil doesn't know how to cherish it right in front of his eyes. ”
"What is a Son of the Devil?"
"You can understand it as...... People who bring disaster, but not just disaster. ”
"I can't help it...... I'm trapped in this damn dwarven dungeon, and if Borui hadn't been released, how could I have had such a chance......"
"Borui ......"
"Silly boy, tell you before you die, that Alfred's source is Borui, this is indeed a dwarven dungeon, and there is indeed a glorious ancient alchemy magic, but there is also me......" The voice became hoarse.
"You are doomed to die...... a deep voice echoed through the darkness.
"Can you show me the so-called dwarven dungeon?"
"Okay, this is my capital to conquer the world in the future, it doesn't hurt for you to take a look, light it up for me!"
Edwin couldn't open his eyes at the blindness of the light, and when he opened them, he saw thousands of bronze steel giants, countless mechanical soldiers, countless gears, and even a shrunken steel city with gears constantly turning. But the face lit up here and disappeared at the same time.
"That's what it is...... Alchemical magic?"
"These are all war machines. ”
"Here...... It's not the same space as the place just now. ”
"The surface layer is certainly easy to spot. Come on, it's time to do our thing. Edwin watched as his body kept moving forward, like a puppet being dragged by someone.
He saw a huge test bench in front of him, like the place where the steel giants were made, with many delicate parts carved with patterns of ancient alchemical magic.
"You're going to ......"
"I'm going to transform your body into the strongest body in the world and use it to conquer the world! ”
Edwin was lying on the cold test table, he could speak, he could think, but he couldn't move, he saw that one by one the alchemy magic runes had been imprinted on his body, those parts seemed to be manipulated by invisible hands, among which a dark blue gear was still conspicuous, all clamped into Edwin's body, and an extreme pain hit his body.
"I can't die yet......"
"I had very few friends, almost none, and only my father had been with me since I was so old, but then my father was gone, and it was thought that the grave keeper was the dirtiest, and I met Mr. Atwood, old Bill, I met my teacher, and the people of Hall City were very kind to me. ”
"I can't die yet!" he almost screamed. The blood he flowed out began to turn from red to blue, the sound of tearing behind his back became louder and louder, and a pair of blue-black bone wings gradually grew, his eyes became blank, and two pairs of bone horns grew on his head, and the cold frost condensed on his body.
"That's what I wanted...... Son of the Devil, is this your bloodline?Is this the reason you became the Son of the Devil?" the voice seemed a little intoxicated.
"Is the instinctive mechanism of the body's bloodline starting to protect itself? I'm going to step up. ”
Edwin's consciousness wasn't there, he felt like he had traveled to the underground of the ancient dwarves, listening to the tinkling sounds around him. Edwin became as tall as they were and had big eyes.
"Edwin, what are you doing standing here, didn't Mr. Gustav just tell you to go to him?" a female dwarf muttered to him, and he understood.
"I'll go. There was no route in his memory, but he naturally arrived at Gustav's wooden door, which reminded him of the first time he visited Rudolph.
"Gustav...... The voice seems to have mentioned it. ”
"Teacher, you're looking for me. Edwin looked at the dwarf who was preoccupied with the machines.
"Come here, look at this blue gear in my hand. The dark blue gear in his hand was the same as the one he had embedded in his body.
"If our race is truly tempted by demons and reduced to an evil race, then it is the key to our counterattack. ”
"What is this?"
"It's a gift from God. ”
"God's gift?"
"The oracle of the alchemy god mentions that this gear will seal and subvert our demons in the future. But he needed a dwarf's life sacrifice. ”
"Teacher ......"
"For the sake of my race, I sacrifice my life to the great god of alchemy, praying that the gods will protect my people, and the witness is Edwin of my dwarven race. Edwin was dumbfounded as he saw the particles of light that the aging Gustav had turned into merge into the gear.
He then seemed to be a witness to ancient history, watching the demons take Gustav's name and prestige, completely subverting a race that had been focused only on alchemical magic and artisan skills, and saw the steel city hanging in the sky and the iron giants trampling the land madly.
"Child, fate has chosen you, and it is we dwarves who have chosen you. Gustav's voice brought him back to reality, and the spell used by the cogs appeared in his head.
The blue gear wasn't used in the Ancients, but it was here waiting for the greedy demon.
"I thought you were scared unconscious, but I didn't expect you to wake up. ”
"Yes, I woke up for those who can't. ”
The blue gear in Edwin's body was shaking,
"I've been waiting for this scene for three thousand years. Gustav's voice came from the gears.
