The capital of the Dwarven Kingdom, Ironheart, has a dwarven-style name, and they have always been neutral between the Terrans and the Demons. In any of the main cities of the Dwarven Kingdom, all races must abide by the Dwarven Non-Attack Pact, and if anyone violates the rules, the Dwarven Kingdom will unilaterally refuse to provide high-quality weapons and equipment to the people involved.

Because only dwarves in the Oya continent can maintain artifacts and create super-high-quality weapons, although all races are obsessed with the rules set by dwarves, they all honestly abide by them and dare not make trouble at will on the territory of dwarves, so this also makes the dwarf kingdom the only country on the continent where you can see the human race and the demon race sitting at the same table and eating.

Qin Zhen was taking Luo Ya and the others to walk in this legendary city known as "The Last Peace" at this time, there was no imaginary scenery of small people running around the streets, if he hadn't confirmed that this was a dwarf country, he almost thought that this was the border city of the human race. Looking at it, there are more people on the street who are human and demon merchants driving all kinds of demon beasts pulling carts, and they are in a hurry.

In addition to the two major races, elves with long ears and trolls more than three meters tall, as well as some strange-looking races that Qin Zhen couldn't name, were all mixed in this small city.

Compared with other people's openness to their identities, Qin Zhen's team of people who hid the whole person behind their robes was suspicious.

So not long after, a bunch of dwarves dressed as soldiers blocked Qin Zhen's way on a sparsely populated path.

"Distinguished guests, for the sake of safety in the city, can you please take off the magic robes that can block the visit?" The leader was a majestic dwarf wearing a full set of armor, after stopping Qin Zhen, he made a fist gesture behind his back, and the other dwarf soldiers saw it and slowly moved their footsteps, blocking Qin Zhen and their front and back roads without leaving a trace.

At the same time as the dwarf made a move, Luo Ya, Da Mao, and Eunice tensed their bodies almost instantly and protected Qin Zhen, Qing Kite, and Zhi behind them, and then a small part of their bodies began to show signs of beastiness, and let out a menacing roar in a low voice.

"Ahem!" Qin Zhen coughed heavily, suppressing Luo Ya and their imminent move. He stepped forward alone and took off his hood to reassure the nervous dwarf: "Don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions. ”

"Horn Clan?" The patrol captain still didn't let his guard down, looked at the two inconspicuous horns on Qin Zhen's head, and asked suspiciously.

"It's a demon, sir." Qin Zhen corrected, although he didn't know what the Horn Clan was, but looking at the dwarves' movements clenching their weapons, he also understood that the relationship between the dwarves and the Horn Clan must be very delicate.

"Demon Clan? Heh, are you laughing at me for not seeing the world? The demon clan I know of doesn't have a subclan with horns on the top of their heads! The patrol leader replied with a sneer.

Qin Zhen was also very helpless, there was no way, he called over Da Mao again and asked him to take off his hood as well.

Sure enough, after seeing the demon clan's iconic bear ears, the dwarves finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the leading dwarf slowed down his tone and said with a little reproach: "My clan and the demon clan are friends, you don't have to be wrapped like this when you come to our clan, I think it's a dangerous person... By the way, my name is Arnold. ”

"Hello, Captain Arnold, you can call me Qin Zhen. Because there are female dependents, it is inconvenient to be exposed in places where the human race gathers, so it ...... Don't blame it yet. ”

Arnold waved his hand, and the patrol members withdrew their weapons one after another, and he asked with interest, "Okay, then I don't know why all the demon nobles came to our main city?" Ordinary demons are not capable of reaching the main city of our clan. ”

Qin Zhen looked at the more and more onlookers, and suggested with some embarrassment: "Why don't we change to a quiet place and talk in detail?" ”

"While I would love to accede to your request, I regret that I cannot take you to any of the houses until your identity has been fully confirmed."

The dwarf's refusal surprised Qin Zhen, but this was also reasonable, after all, it was the first time they met, and there was no reason why people would absolutely believe Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen's silence lifted the dwarves' hearts again, and they once again brought the weapons in their hands to their fronts. The patrol team that did not give an inch, and there was a tendency to re-encircle, made Qin Zhen feel like he had eaten the yellow lotus and had a feeling that he couldn't tell the bitterness, and the crowd of onlookers was mostly Terran, and he didn't dare to discuss trade and alliance with the dwarves here.

Seeing that Arnold's face had dropped and the atmosphere had reached a stalemate again, Qin Zhen suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took it out.

It is a palm-sized iron plaque with a strange pattern of a carefully carved heart, an axe, and a hammer on it, and the entire iron plaque is constructed in the shape of a shield. Qin Zhen still remembered what the bearded Merrog said when he gave him the badge to exchange for a jar of liquor - "If you encounter difficulties in the dwarven kingdom, just show this sign to any dwarf."

Qin Zhenquan didn't take it to heart when he was joking, but now things are developing in a direction that Qin Zhen didn't expect, so he can only throw the iron medal to Arnold.

Taking the iron plate thrown by Qin Zhen, Arnold curiously spread out his palm and looked at it, and the moment he saw the pattern on the iron plate, his eyes widened in shock.

"Medal of the Heart?!"

The other patrolmen, including the dwarves who were watching the crowd, were silent for a few seconds after hearing Arnold's exclamations, and then suddenly became in an uproar.

"The Order of the Heart? Isn't it only the king and the great master who have it! ”

"Yes, but how could it, a symbol of supreme glory, appear in the hands of the demon people?"

"That master has been missing for more than ten years, can you say ......?"

"The gods are above, master, has he returned?"

The noisy and chaotic scene was out of Qin Zhen's expectations, and the iron card that Merroger gave him seemed to be a terrible thing.

Respectfully holding the Heart Refining Medal with both hands and returning it to Qin Zhen, Arnold's excited voice trembled a little: "My lord, can you please tell me the source of this medal?" ”

"It was given as a gift by a dwarven blacksmith who lived in my clan when he learned that I had come to the dwarven kingdom, and he said that when I was in trouble in your country, I could use it to call for help."

Qin Zhen's words filled Arnold with hope, and he continued to ask, "Then do you know what his name is?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, his name would have been... Merrog! ”

The moment Qin Zhen said this name, Arnold was shocked, and the uncontrollable smile spread on his face, because he was not tall enough, he patted Qin Zhen's thigh hard, and laughed: "Hahahahaha, I know that the master will not be too far from his homeland!" That's great! That's great! The king will be glad to find out! Since he drove away Master Merrog more than ten years ago because of a misunderstanding, there has not been a day when the king has not looked for the trace of the master in regret, since you are the person who the master agrees with, you are a friend of my clan! ”

Rubbing the side of the leg that was slapped painfully, Qin Zhen was also full of joy, he struck while the iron was hot and put forward the request to come over this time to meet the king of the dwarf kingdom, of course, in order to ensure safety, he was as a diplomatic ambassador rather than the lord of the demon clan.

"Of course no problem!" Hearing that Qin Zhen wanted to visit the king, Arnold readily agreed, "But my king won't come back until the evening when he goes out hunting, and I ask you to wait, I will arrange a place to rest first, and a few of you can play in the city first, and all the dwarf shops can be free by showing the Heart Refining Medal you hold." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but may I go out of town first and pick up some of the gifts and merchandise I brought?"

Because there were too many helmets and wine to carry, Qin Zhen stored them in a hotel opened by the dwarves when he entered the city, leaving a few attendants and flying wolves to take care of them.

"Absolutely." Arnold thought for a moment and beckoned to the patrolman behind him, "You shouldn't have enough manpower, right?" Bring my companions, they have enough strength and can find my arranged accommodation after retrieving the goods, what do you think? ”

There was free labor to use, Qin Zhen naturally agreed, let Da Mao lead them to get the goods back, and he took the others and Arnold to the residence in the center of the city while talking and laughing.
