253. Lava stone black road
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, and after confirming that Qin Haiyan can keep up, Redbeard sped up.
It was true that the passage was very long, and it would take nearly two hours to walk at a normal pace, but with Redbeard's foot speed, it would only take twenty or thirty minutes to reach it.
Just now, he was just accommodating Chen Nai and the others, letting them adapt to it, and there was some intention to get off the horse, and of course, there was also the intention of letting them retreat in the face of difficulties.
Iron Fort is the stronghold of their dwarven clan, and this is a place that cannot be easily leaked to outsiders.
Although Anna is an elf royalty, but with her as a guarantor, the safety factor level is still not enough, after all, Anna is too young, and young ignorant girls are always easy to be deceived, but the matter of goblin technology and the goblin empire is too important, so Redbeard brought Chen Nai and others in.
Redbeard walked faster and faster, and his speed increased again and again, until finally it was like a gust of wind.
This speed is not the limit for him, but for Qin Haiyan and Emma, this speed is already difficult to keep up, even if it is blessed with the speed buff of the Holy Word Technique, there is no way to keep up.
So Anna applied a light body technique to them, and by the way, a group gliding technique, greatly increased the speed, which could barely keep up with Redbeard's speed.
I ran like this for about 20 minutes, and then I saw the appearance of the iron furnace fort, and from a distance, it really looked like a furnace.
Yes, that's right, it's the shape of a big stove, and it's still fiery and smoking.
This is the Dwarven stronghold, the Steel Forge!
This is their holy place and arguably their last bastion.
The experience of multiple races has made the dwarf race have a strong sense of self-protection, which is also to prevent it from happening.
Before, Anna said that the steel furnace fort was underground, and Chen Nai thought it was the same as an underground factory, but when he saw it with his own eyes, Chen Nai knew that he was wrong.
The Steel Fort is indeed underground, but it is actually built on the inside of an active volcano, and the overall feeling is like a hot pot, boiling and tumbling in a sea of fire.
As a castle, the Iron Fort is quite qualified, as it also has a moat, a moat formed by lava.
This is the first line of defense of the castle, but this line of defense is enough to stump countless people.
The general moat, even if it falls, as long as the water is not bad, there is no interference from external factors dragged down by others, then basically it will not die, even if it is unfortunate to pass out, maybe it will be picked up by a beautiful woman or something with the flow of water, and bad things become good things, and get a chance to embark on the road of Diao Si's counterattack.
But these are flowing below, and from time to time one or two bubbles of magma come out, but no matter who you are or what you are, as long as you fall, you have to endure thousands of degrees of heat.
If you can make it through, then you have to admit that you are good.
If you can't hold it, then you can only be sorry, waiting to be melted and fused with the magma, and you don't even need to raise the ashes, because you can't find it at all.
A castle like this with a moat usually has a drawbridge to provide access, and without a bridge, it is really not easy to get there.
But the steel furnace fort is different, the suspension bridge does not, because there is no such condition, and it is estimated that no suspension bridge can withstand this kind of temperature and high temperature.
So it is made of countless pieces of lava stone paved into a black stone road, it looks very dark, the charcoal has baked the general pitch black, and before you get close, you have already felt the blazing air wave, just this air wave, it is enough to make the thing with a relatively low melting point melt directly.
This temperature may have reached more than 100 degrees, and Chen Nai felt that his magic shield had become distorted because of this terrifying high temperature.
Emma put the Holy Cross Shield under her feet, and the temperature was hundreds of degrees, which was completely drizzle for the Holy Cross Shield, and it was not worth mentioning.
In this way, he was trampled under his feet, like a skateboard, and passed this black lava road as fast as he could, and he didn't know where the dignity of the Holy Cross Shield as an artifact was.
Although Chen Nai also wanted to complain, he didn't know where to start complaining, why Emma's intelligence always showed in some strange places.
At this point, the copycat version of the Fire Spirit Bead is a little unbearable, but fortunately, it's just a little unbearable, and it's okay to hurry up and pass it.
After passing through the gate of the Steel Furnace Castle and entering, Chen Nai suddenly felt refreshed.
It's cool from the outside in, and it feels like the whole person is going to float, or this kind of temperature is good, cool and fast.
Although the current temperature is also 378 degrees, compared with about 100 degrees just now, this is nothing at all.
I don't know what method the dwarves used to ensure that the inside of the steel furnace was just a little higher than normal.
However, this is their secret, and Chen Nai has no intention of finding out, the purpose of this trip is alloy, which is the most important thing.
"Oh, Anna, why are you here?"
When he saw Anna, the dwarven patriarch Valen was a little surprised, he also knew about Anna's running away from home, and the Elven Empress informed him.
He also told the other dwarves to keep an eye on him, and if they found Anna, they would tell him as soon as they saw him.
It's just that I didn't expect that Anna would appear in front of me, this is when I encountered difficulties outside, and I couldn't solve it, so I came to my uncle for help.
Or I drank too much of my own wine, and I had hallucinations.
No, I only drank less than half a barrel today.
Well, a bucket is only fifty catties, and less than half a bucket is less than twenty-five catties. If this were someone else, it is estimated that he would have drunk to death or alcohol poisoning, but for Valen, who has drunk wine for more than 300 years, this wine is just like soy milk earlier, just used for appetizers.
"I need help from my uncle, so I came to you, don't you mind?"
"I knew it."
There is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, not to mention a girl like Anna, who has run away from home and is in a rebellious period, if there is nothing to do, how can she take the initiative to ask her parents' old friends for help.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"These friends of mine need a batch of metal, and after thinking about it, only Uncle Valen has here, and it is the most qualified to make it, so I came to you."
"Oh, friend."
Valen looked at Chen Nai and the others carefully with a little fascinated eyes, and he was seriously examining whether Chen Nai and the others were good people.
