Chapter 238: Heart of the Mountains
In a white stone wall surrounded by the clear water of the mountain, a dozen pillars carved with majestic dwarf reliefs were erected around it, and the metal gates as tall as the gates of the giants were ajar and embedded in the stone walls, and the gates were guarded by seven or eight dwarves of great size but height to the base of Shepard's legs.
"Stop! Grown! Foolish elder, you are standing at the entrance to the great kingdom of Stupeter! ”
Walking up the carved simple long stone staircase, Shepard casually admired the dwarves' insistence on making everything several times larger than normal, when he heard an arrogant voice wafting from above.
He didn't take his tone to heart, he just raised his head and looked at the dwarven warrior who stood a few levels taller than him, the big beard on his face couldn't hide the unruly expression, and the thick eyebrows couldn't stop the arrogance in his eyes, just standing there and looking at you was very unpleasant.
"The attendant of the Dawn Kingdom, the kingdom of men, wants to pay a visit to the brave dwarven king......"
Shepard introduced himself calmly, but before he finished his opening remarks, the arrogant dwarven warrior had rudely interrupted him: "Your Majesty has no time to waste on the elders, the stupid elders and the rude elders are not qualified to set foot in the land of the dwarves and get out of our sacred mountains, or else you will smash your short-haired head!" ”
Stupid elders are humans, rude elders are elves, there are no gnomes in the new world of Draenor, except for goblins, dwarves are the only intelligent race with an average height of no more than one meter four, and the territory below the surface full of wealth and mystery that they take for granted, these have not yet formed a unified faith, and the dwarves who like to worship ancestors and gems are surprisingly arrogant.
Humans are the most widespread creatures on the continent except for goblins, and the wildlings who roam the forests are regarded by the dwarves as stupid beasts, and the elves who are inherently at odds with them are even more disgusting to these fellows, and both sides hate each other, accusing each other of being rude and stupid.
Shepard sighed and tried to be patient, "Please help inform the venerable dwarven king, the messenger of our alliance with the elves also tried to visit him a few days ago......"
With a bang, the dwarf collided with the shield with a one-handed hammer that had become dark due to the addition of black star iron, and a loud and loud voice suppressed Shepard's voice, interrupting him again and losing patience: "Get out!" The dwarves have no interest in what you call unions! Brave warriors will crush the heads of all enemies, and only the cowardly elders will fear death and battle! ”
"The thick earth is the strongest fortress of the dwarves, and as long as the dwarves live in the mountains, nothing can threaten the dwarves!"
Shepard immediately relented, shrugged his shoulders, and turned to walk down the mountain, but the face of the dwarf he was facing away from opened and closed slightly, and the voice he spat out was inaudible: "Self-inflicted, do not live......"
The dwarf captain guarding the gate saw Shepard obediently descending the mountain, snorted proudly, and a puddle of snot erupted from his thick nostrils, sticking to his dense and messy beard, and the heroic dwarven warrior wiped it casually with his gloves without care, and said loudly to his subordinates on the left and right: "You are on guard at the door, don't miss any cowardly elders, I will go in and report to Your Majesty!" ”
As he spoke, he walked through the gate, the mountain range that had almost been hollowed out by the dwarves was empty and silent, and a road six dwarves wide led straight into the depths of the mountain range, with traces left by trimming and carving, and looking up, it was as dark as the night sky above, and countless sturdy and not wide stone paths seemed to be half-suspended in the air, as if they were piled up and deconstructed in this hollow mountain stone.
If we compare a hollowed-out mountain to a human being, then the stone path is the blood vessels and veins, the remaining crust of the mountain is the skin and muscles, and the important parts that the dwarves have spent countless years carving out are the internal organs.
The light of the stone path is like the stars in the night sky, and the luminous stones dug out of the mountains are almost endless, and the precious night pearl of Shepard's previous life is here to his head, so that no dwarf has taken this stone as a treasure that can only be taken home for lighting without the slightest magic.
Walking along the stone path connecting the gate, the dwarf captain walked for twenty minutes, only to see the dwarf king on the dwarf throne in the center of the many stone seats around him, this is the council of the dwarf country, the dwarves are divided by clans, although they are unified into one king, but the leader of each clan has a chance, after the death of the previous king, the dwarf who can give the most precious and beautiful dwarf with a thick and beautiful beard is the new king, so that even women can become dwarf kings, after all, dwarf women also have beards.
The dwarven king sat on a throne that could almost be used as a seat for giants, and the dwarven throne was built with stones as a foundation, and the dwarven throne was still as hard as ever after years of pouring molten iron with a variety of ores, but the upper part of the backrest was inlaid with a full seventeen gems of different colors, each of which was a rare treasure once in a hundred years, these are the gems offered by the dwarven kings of the past dynasties, and they forcibly embedded them in the back of the throne harder than fine iron with their strength, proving the strength of the king.
The current dwarven king does not have a gem on the throne, this is nothing, not every dwarf king can have this strength when he ascends the throne, but he does not care about this most, he wants to dig up the most precious, rarest and incredible gem, let this gem become the symbol of the dwarf race, let his name shine forever in the history of the dwarves.
The captain guarding the gate cautiously approached the throne and asked the contemplative dwarven king: "Your Majesty, the foolish elder has indeed come again, and he has already felt his humility under the reprimand of my righteous words, and he has left in shame. ”
The dwarf king sat stunned for a while, waved his hand and sent the team leader away, and when the silence returned to the four corners, and he was the only one left, he suddenly laughed strangely: "I feel it, I feel it, it's there, it won't take long...... Keep digging! Right there......"
……
"The alliance with the dwarves failed? But why can't I feel your reaction? ”
The Kingdom of Light is a place where there is no darkness, there is only one sun in the multiverse, which is the projection of the origin plane of the fire element plane, the origin plane of the universe, in all the main planes, and the seven-layer heavenly mountain is also illuminated by the fire element plane, but there is only dusk at most in the kingdom of God, and then it is dawn immediately.
There are living beings in the fire elemental plane, and even humans can enter it if they have the opportunity, but it is impossible to approach the fire elemental plane from the outside world, this phenomenon is very wonderful, even the gods can't understand the mysteries, some of the main planes claim that the sun falls or goes out, in fact, the rules about light and heat have changed or been broken, so that the sun has disappeared from the eyes of the creatures of these main planes.
In a quiet place in the kingdom of God, gurgling bubbles bubbled out of the steaming pool, and the edge of the hot spring was piled up with white jade-like stones, anyway, Shepard was the lord of the kingdom of God, and everything was only in his thoughts.
The fourth doppelganger was so lazy in the water, there was only a young woman in a plain robe beside her, a pair of slender white legs were half-submerged in the water, occasionally naughty to provoke the splash, revealing delicate feet like jade, she stretched out her plain hand to brush the hair of the fourth doppelganger, and asked softly.
The existence that can get along with the Lord of God in such an ordinary way will naturally not be those believers or Qi mergers, but also the goddess, only Meles, she loves to be quiet and does not like to move, if the doppelganger is fine, she is often called back to the Kingdom of Light, and find a place where the water is murmuring and quiet and peaceful, and she can stay quietly for many days.
It's just that the fourth doppelganger went to the dwarf kingdom to try again, and after the failure, there was no dissatisfaction or frustration, and he was lazy and went straight back to the kingdom of God.
He pinched the air mass of steaming and condensing, and leaned loosely on the stone: "The elves and humans have sent two groups of messengers to the kingdom of lovers, but the door was sent away by the gatekeeper without entering, and I almost started to move, I just went this time to see how crazy the dwarves are, so I look really crazy, but with my current identity, how can those dwarves squatting in the pit be worth my attention?" ”
Shepard said nonchalantly: "Since they want to die, let them die in peace, the Divine Guard and the elven forest patrol are ready, and they can give a big gift to the dwarf at any time." ”
Meleth shook her long, silky blue hair and chuckled, "Why do you believe so firmly that the dwarves are seeking death? ”
Shepard closed his mouth and did not speak, the destruction of the dwarf kingdom in the previous life was one of the few large-scale plot tasks in the Draenor continent, the god had been in place for a long time, he almost forgot that the new world was originally just an inconspicuous expansion film, the background board of the dwarf kingdom was destroyed by self-inflicted evil before the player found out, and future generations can only combine the truth of the year from the quest hint and plot information.
Like natural miracles such as the lungs of the forest, the throat of the wind, and the eye of the sky, the mountains also have their special features, and the four elven gods sent Shepard to the seed treasure because such natural wonders or miracles are really of unimaginable importance to nature itself, and the strange things in the mountains are special plots called [Heart of the Mountains].
Such a special plot adjusts the energy of the entire mountain range and the magic of the underground, allowing the ancient mountain range to enjoy the peace of endless years, but the dwarves don't know what evil is planted, so they dig down desperately, digging into the heart of the mountains in one go, destroying the heart ventricles of the mountains, and taking away the three gems condensed in them, calling these gems [Heart of the Mountains], which is simply ridiculous.
The dwarves were soon retribution, and the earthquake and landslides were just the prelude to everything, and the dwarven kingdom finally ushered in a fatal blow.
