However, Blue soon signaled everyone to proceed carefully, also because it was not enough for him to convince his companions if he alone found out.

And he is confident that his hearing should be superior to that of the crowd, and even the races that are accustomed to living underground may not be more sensitive than his hearing.

Since none of the companions could hear the sound of digging that far away, it was unlikely that the other party would hear the deliberately controlled footsteps of their group in a noisy environment.

It wasn't long before Blue's guess proved right.

Even Chrisanna, Agnes, and Lux, and even Macaria heard the sound of digging in the end, and they didn't react in any way, and they didn't notice them at all.

Agnes put away her torches, and the group walked slowly through the darkness, and soon they heard the sound of many shoes on the ground, and the sound of digging hoes.

The sound grew louder and clearer, until Blue found a dark spot and watched quietly with the help of his excellent dark vision.

What appeared to him was a wide mine road, where a number of dwarf-like creatures were manipulating the mine carts, and there were quite a few pulleys near the mine carts.

The trolleys were loaded with excavated ore and dirt to be transported, and the trolleys, which were mostly vacant now, looked like they were supposed to be the means of transporting the people.

Excavation work is being carried out by grim-faced underground gnomes with grey skin typical of underground creatures, which easily blends in with the surrounding rocks.

They appear to be only a meter tall, but wield the miner's hoe, which is unusually thick compared to their stature, with great ease.

Blue noticed that the underground gnomes were both male and female, with the men bald and the women with long gray hair.

Both men and women are doing the same work, which is also not in keeping with the tradition of underground gnomes.

Generally speaking, they would have the men go out to the mines to search for and dig up valuable gems, while the women would stay in the underground gnome village and take care of the housework, which is typical of the pattern of male dominance and female dominance.

And the underground gnomes are very fond of precious stones, especially the beautiful rubies, and legend has it that they were born in rubies.

So digging should have been a very happy thing for them, but now their faces are all listless, not even angry, just numb.

This is because they are not free now, but slaves......

On either side of the mine, in addition to the two rows of underground gnomes mining with no end in sight, walking among them were gray dwarves with whips and machetes.

Upon meeting the Grey Dwarf, Blue immediately understood what the heat in the air was - the furnace that must be found in a dwarven building.

It must have been these grey dwarves who discovered this place after the Hammer Dwarves left, and then took the opportunity to invade it.

These gray dwarves are about 1.3 to 1.6 meters tall like the dwarves on the ground, the men are bald, the women have hair, and the skin is also the gray common underground.

Information about the gray dwarves naturally came to Blue's mind.

According to the legend of the Grey Dwarves, the Durga tribe was exiled by other dwarves thousands of years ago, and later they were enslaved by the Mind Flayer.

The Psivacs wanted to create a kind of slave who would be loyal to them, and the Durga Dwarves gradually became a new subspecies of Dwarves after being enslaved and damaged for countless generations.

But in the end, the Grey Dwarves escaped from the city of Orlindor with the help of the evil god Radug, who broke free from the mind flayer's mind control.

The Grey Dwarves then wandered into various worlds, becoming the second largest race in the Underworld after the Drow Elves, the Dark Elves.

However, because they have been enslaved and twisted by the Mind Flayer for too long, the Grey Dwarves are generally more violent and unreasonable than their surface relatives.

Moreover, the grey dwarves are very fond of plundering people as slaves and traded goods, and it is clear that these good underground gnomes are the victims.

Blue looked excited at the sight of the gray dwarves.

Although the gray dwarves are temperamental, it is a race that is weaker than them, or it is for themselves.

If it is against the dragon clan and the first evil dark elf in the underground, they will not dare to be grumpy if they are given a hundred dares, but on the contrary, they will have to obey.

And the gray dwarves are also the favorite slave race of the dragons, not even in the eyes of Blue.

This is because the gray dwarves have been enslaved for too long and have become gloomy, pessimistic, and suspicious and cruel, but the exquisite craftsmanship and techniques they inherited from the dwarves have not been left behind.

Each of the Grey Dwarves is a master craftsman of weapons and armor and the finest of gemstones.

As an evil blue dragon, if you want to build a powerful country, it is impossible to recruit dwarven masters in large numbers to serve you, and as a replacement, the gray dwarves are of course the best candidates.

I hope there are enough gray dwarves here, if there are tens of thousands of them, then the problem of the shortage of craftsmen in New Schars City can be solved.

And with these gray dwarves and underground gnomes, it will not be a problem to develop the veins in the future.

Thinking of this, Blue immediately became excited, plus there are precious minerals such as Mithril and Thoryin, maybe it can be used to create a Mithril Dragon Helmet, and he can stretch his chin a little thicker, and call it a Deathwing, right?

Thinking of this, Blue showed a strange smile, then looked at Agnes, and asked in a low voice in dragon language: "Agnes, these gray dwarves and underground gnomes belong to me......

Agnes raised her eyebrows, and she replied in a low voice with a disdainful smile, "These guys, I'm not rare, if I want to create something, just go to the dwarven royal family, their craftsmanship is much more exquisite than these gray dwarves." ”

Blue waved his hand in annoyance: "I know, I know, I know that your family is rich and powerful, okay, you don't have to emphasize this point again and again." ”

"I didn't mean that at all, I'm just reminding you that if you need dwarves to build something, I can help you out, and you don't have to look for these guys."

"I didn't just look for them to make a dragon helmet for me."

"Oh?" Agnes only realized at this time that this blue dragon still has a city.

"Was it for that city? I didn't think you were serious about being a lord, I always thought you were just having fun there. ”

Blue snorted dissatisfiedly, but when he thought that he still wanted this chick, he retracted his original words into his stomach.

He pointed to the gray dwarves and asked, "Since you have such handy earrings to know the way to this place, can you check how many exits there are?" I can seal these seals in advance and prevent them from escaping. ”

Agnes nodded naturally, then closed her eyes and bowed her head in contemplation.

Blue and Krishanna looked at her curiously, wondering if she was communicating with her earrings now, could it be that the earrings were really so powerful that they could be used as universal navigation?

However, out of respect for the privacy of others, and the fact that the silver dragon had helped them so much during this time, neither Blue nor Chrisanna asked Agnes.

After a while, Agnes opened her eyes, then pointed behind her and said, "Although there are many roads here, there are actually only two exits, one of which collapsed when the Hammer Dwarves fled, and the other is the entrance we just entered. The deepest part of the underground is also sealed off by the fleeing Hammer Dwarves, so as long as we stay where we just entered, the Grey Dwarves will not be able to leave here...... Theoretically, it is. ”

Originally, Blue listened well, but when Agnes finished the last sentence, he suddenly felt dissatisfied and asked, "What theory?" ”

Agnes spread her hands as Blue did, and smiled as if she liked this interesting action very much, "Little brother, don't forget, because the gray dwarves have lived underground for a long time, they also hate the sun like most underground races. In the sun, it was as if they were being burned by flames all the time, so they didn't want to go to the surface world at all, and that exit was just an ornament. ”

Agnes paused for a moment, then looked at the suddenly realized Blue and continued: "So, if you think you can push them, they will run frantically towards the exit, and then you can catch them, then you have made a mistake, they are likely to be frightened and choose to flee deeper, in this kind of terrain, it is impossible to catch them all with only a few of us." ”

After listening to Agnes's words, Blue frowned, this was a difficult problem.

It seems that if you want to use violence to enslave these gray dwarves, you can only catch some of them, and it will be difficult to achieve your goal and "abduct" them all back to New Castles.

Is there any other way?

Blue was pondering.

At this time, Krisanna was a little unhappy, she had come to find the treasure.

Blue was suddenly interested in these gray dwarves, but she didn't, so she crossed her waist impatiently and said angrily: "If you want to catch these gray dwarves, you can catch them yourself, I don't have time to accompany you to do such a boring thing." ”

After hearing Chrissan's words, Blue thought that there was still more time anyway, he shook his head, put this thought behind him for a while, and nodded to his sister: "You're right, Krisanna, let's see if there really is a treasure here that can make us happy." ”

Agnes carelessly took out a few invisibility cloaks from her dimensional pouch and handed them to Blue and the others.

Christana, along with Lux and Blue, put the cloak on their bodies very happily, and then in an instant they were in tune with the cloak of invisibility.

Macaria looked at the invisibility cloak in her hand speechlessly, nodded to Agnes and thanked her, "Thank you very much, generous princess. ”

Agnes froze for a moment, then waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing.

She pulled the hood of her cloak to her head, and suddenly her whole person disappeared from everyone's sight, including the props she was carrying and the clothes and jewelry she was wearing.

Blue chuckled, then put on the hood of the gourd as well, and the figure disappeared in place.

Macaria sighed secretly, if it was before, she would have even dreamed of having an invisibility cloak like this.

This is a legendary magic item!

A useful item that even dragons and legends can't find!

And because of the harmony, after Agnes gave them these cloaks, they could no longer be worn by others until they died, or until they were intentionally lifted.

Looking at the appearance of Blue and Krisanna, as well as Agnes's nonchalant attitude, Macaria believed that neither the person who sent it nor the person who was sent it would probably not have the idea of "taking it back when the time comes".

After putting on the cloak of invisibility, they could no longer see each other, but according to the agreed signal, they still acted in unison.

The aisle in front of us began to slope deeper, and more and more halls and small passages appeared next to it.

The hot air from the furnace also kept coming up from below, making the air hotter and hotter.

Arriving at the obvious residential area, Blue and the others began to see a large number of gray dwarves living in what was supposed to be the dwelling of the Hammer Dwarves.

The passage here is no longer as rough and confusing as the passage in the upper half, and the curved arc of the walls is smoother and more square.

After a cursory calculation, Blue found that the underground dwellings were not as short and small as he had imagined, but rather very spacious.

The gray dwarves in the room were also doing their own things, some were banging on something, some were drinking something they didn't know what it was, and some were sitting in a daze.

Blue swung his hands outstretched and even waved in front of their eyes.

Even if Blue and the others swaggered in front of them and made various movements, no one noticed their arrival because of the stealth cloak.

After playing around for a while, Blue soon got tired of the childlike tricks.

Rounding a sharp turn, they came to a gate made of granite stone, which was closed and blocked the entire walkway.

At this time, Blue's voice came from the seemingly empty place: "Agnes, is this the door to the next level?" You're not mistaken, are you? ”

"If it's really wrong, then the guy who made this earring has to blame, not me."

Hearing Agnes' answer, Blue stepped forward, then grabbed the heavy knocker of the stone door, and joked, "It will be fun if I open this door, and there will be a few white dragons waiting for the rabbit on the other side, and they will spray you into ice slag in one bite." ”

"Crow's mouth can't speak, so let's talk less, okay?" Krisanna sneered coldly.

Smiling, Blue slammed his hand into ......
