Chapter 183: Black Furnace
After some advice from Morebi Iron Mountain, Unas had a general understanding of the situation, and this was indeed the place he had speculated beforeβthe Black Stone Abyss, the underground kingdom of the Black Iron Dwarves.
Holder-Blackbeard was a large slave owner who owned several large and productive mines specializing in the ore business.
"Black Furnace" is a rich mine discovered deep underground a few months ago, because it is located at the junction of the territory of the four big mine owners, the ownership of the mine suddenly fell into a fierce battle, a large-scale armed conflict broke out, and finally even alarmed the Emperor Sorisen, several big rich people are not easy to offend, even the Black Iron King can only be with the mud, let the four people co-manage, but co-management means that no one can manage it.
The situation there is chaotic and dangerous, the living conditions are very harsh, and Blackbeard often throws disobedient slaves into it to "exercise", and Iron Mountain has heard that it is the mine with the highest mortality rate.
The Hilllord Rundarn, a Black Iron nobleman unwilling to submit to the Fire Demon King, broke away from the rule of the Great Thoresen with a group of dwarves who supported him, and occupied a mountain peak in the Scorching Canyon as a base, where he was often attacked by the Blackstone Dwarves, and this time Iron Mountain was attacked while leading a patrol, and was defeated and captured.
"As much as I hate humans, now that you and I are prisoners, we don't want to be of any race," Iron Mountain chattered suggested, "The Black Furnace is not a good place, we can help each other once we go inside." β
As an officer, he will come to do united front work immediately, Unas replied: "I don't hate dwarves at all, I have a lot of dwarf friends, of course it's no problem to have one more of you, I don't know anything about here, and I have to rely on the Tieshan brothers for more guidance." β
"Those who are willing to be friends with humans must be those brainless bronze-bearded dwarves," Tie Shan didn't realize that this sentence also scolded himself, "You just have to be obedient and follow me, and I will guarantee your safety." β
This is the rhythm of the younger brother, and Unas instantly changed his name: "Boss Iron Mountain, do you know what's going on with my general weakness?" β
A "boss" sounded very comfortable to Tie Shan, and naturally knew everything, "Me too, that's a cartilage, don't worry, it will slowly fade by itself, after all, they want us to work hard, how can we do it softly?" β
Unas did feel that his strength was slowly recovering, but it was not enough to twist the iron cage, he wanted to take out the fire kiss to try if he could cut it, but he felt empty, searched for the space bag and did not find it, and what surprised him even more was that the middle finger of his left hand was also empty, and the fire ring was also missing, and his whole body was naked, only a small fig leaf on his lower body.
These black iron dwarves are really plucked, even such an inconspicuous ring has been looted, the fire kiss and the fire ring are Gordon's heirlooms, what face will you face Gordon after losing them?
What's more, they are also sharp weapons to help you kill countless enemies, and there is absolutely no room for loss, Unas instantly became irritable, if he doesn't find two treasures, what's the point of escaping?
"They have all searched my body, do you know how to find it, Boss Iron Mountain?" Unas could only ask the dwarves around him for help.
"Retrieved? Are you dreaming? Slaves have no personal belongings, and our whole body is the property of Blackbeard, you understand? Tie Shan sneered, "I'm in a hurry to hear what you said, what good things are missing from you?" β
"A sword and an inconspicuous ring, entrusted to me by my most important friend, I will not lose them until I die!"
"It seems that your friend is not a human being," Tie Shan said coolly, "I don't know whose hands my beloved armor and tomahawks are in the hands of now, but they are only slightly better standard goods, and there is nothing to worry about..."
"Do you know who is most likely to fall into the hands of you?" Unas didn't care about his attitude and continued to ask.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Tie Shan finally felt a little pity and replied: "If it is a real sword, it will definitely end up in the hands of a limited number of weapon collectors, of course, it may even be presented to the treasury by the guy who wants to curry favor with the Great Thorrison, in short, the sword will not be dusty among the black iron dwarves, but the inconspicuous ring is only known to God, and anyone who has handled you may take it." β
Unas secretly complained to himself, the fire ring looked inconspicuous, and to others it was a useless scrap, maybe it was thrown away.
Without allowing him to think too much, there was a boom, and the thick iron door of the cave was opened, and a group of short figures walked in with torches.
Finally, there was a little light, Unas saw clearly what the cave looked like, there were more than a dozen iron cages stacked in the small rectangular space, most of them were empty, Iron Mountain was in a cage on the left, scattered black hair, scarlet eyes and gray-black skin showed that he was indeed a black iron dwarf, in addition, there was an orc covered in bruises in the distance, lying in the cage and not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Without saying a word, the heavily armed black iron soldiers loaded the three cages onto a small cart and passed through the intricate underground passages to a cave hall, in the center of which there was a well mouth about two meters in diameter, which was blocked by a circular iron gate.
There were many other black iron soldiers gathered around the well, all dressed in different costumes, obviously divided into three camps, and they were all escorted to iron cages, which were naturally filled with slaves of various races, among which the dwarves were the most.
When Unas saw them, he remembered what had happened to him in the torture chamber, and hurriedly touched his forehead, which was marked by a soldering iron on his forehead, as was the case with the slaves.
"The Blackbeard Man is late again!" A dwarf in dark red armor coaxed, "I suggest throwing them all down!" β
"Throw it down! Throw it down! ......" caused the crowd to be angry, and the other dwarven soldiers shouted in unison to lean over, wanting to take the opportunity to avenge their previous blood vengeance.
The soldiers who were escorting the three Unas and the blackbeards all drew their weapons, and the leader shouted, "Have you forgotten the king's orders? Dare to attack us on the initiative? You're all going to be thrown down by my own hands! β
As soon as these words came out, the scene cooled down a little, and when Emperor Thorrisen intervened, he issued a very stern warning, prohibiting any further bloodshed between the soldiers of the four mine owners, and the active attackers who violated the ban would all be reduced to slaves of the other party.
The Black Iron Soldiers knew best about the miserable life of slaves, and no one wanted to be a part of them, so no one dared to make the first move, and they had to gradually retreat to their original positions after a stalemate.
