Chapter 228: The Excavated City (1st Update)

It is hard to imagine that there is such a city at least a hundred meters below the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And this city is not an ancient city buried underground because of wars in the distant past, but a new city built by the dwarves of the earth and finally turned into what it is now, centered on a large castle covering an area of more than one square kilometer, and attached to many small settlements!

In terms of scale, Pegasus City is naturally much larger and more majestic than Dark Furnace City.

However, the Dark Furnace City was much longer than the city of Pegasus City, which brought Gavin more shock.

"Three hundred years ago, the dwarves suffered heavy losses in the war of the gods. A dwarven clan of only about a hundred people fled from the southern dwarven mountains and settled here. They found a small magma lake here, and they used the lake to start a forging business. ā€

Morgana looked at the Dark Furnace City in the distance, her undulating chest could not hide the shock in her heart, and she introduced the history of the Dark Furnace City in a slightly excited tone.

The forging skills of the underground dwarves, of course, go without saying. With well-forged weapons and armor, as well as the sale of rare gems and precious metals from mining, these underground dwarves gained a lot of wealth and lived a prosperous life, so they began to build an underground city centered on the lava lake.

In the beginning, there were no active volcanoes, just a lava lake.

The mining ability of the underground dwarves is too strong, and with the addition of multiplication, there are more and more clansmen. It only took them a hundred years to dig the originally small space into an incomparably huge underground space.

They dug down around the lava lake, so the original lava lake became high above and a hill appeared. And the castle they first built became a magnificent structure overhanging a hill.

Two hundred years ago, the excavation of the dwarven clan finally caused big trouble.

They kept digging and eventually woke up the dragon sleeping at the bottom of the lava lake!

This is an adult fire dragon that has the same flame breathing ability as the black dragon, but its combat power is far stronger than that of an adult black dragon.

The challenge level of an adult black dragon is only level 10, while the challenge level of an adult fire dragon is as high as level 13, which is about the same as that of a copper dragon.

Especially in magma, this adult fire dragon is very strong in combat, and it can even manipulate magma!

The awakened fire dragon attacks the dwarves, who suffer heavy losses.

Thankfully, the dragon didn't kill them all, but killed the dozens of dwarves who woke it up, and then fell into a deep sleep once more.

How could the arrogant dragons take a group of dwarves in their eyes?

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? A fiery dragon is sleeping beneath the castle, and you can imagine how bad the mood of the dwarves in the underground is.

A master blacksmith, under the orders of the clan chief, joined forces with a rune priest to spend all the black iron, mythril, pure gold and steel accumulated by the entire clan for a hundred years, and finally created an enchanted chain hundreds of meters long, and then the clan patriarch and the rune sacrifice worked together to set up an ambush, and finally locked the fire dragon and imprisoned it under the magma lake.

The dwarf couldn't kill the fire dragon, and he took a fancy to the fire dragon's fire-breathing ability, so he tried every means to reach an agreement with the fire dragon:

Every ten years, the dragon spews blazing flames to help the dwarves smelt metal and forge weapon armor. and dedicate the blood of the fire dragon to quench the weapon armor.

The dwarves built a huge furnace where the dragon was imprisoned: the Dragon's Furnace.

Over the past two hundred years, the Dragonforge has been opened 19 times, creating 19 pieces of legendary equipment. The sword of the Pegasus Juggernaut, the iron-burning heavy sword "Tongue of the Fire Dragon", was made in the Fire Dragon Forge 110 years ago.

The Barov family's Dinghai Divine Needle, the legendary long sword "Sword of Killing" in the hands of the legendary sword master, is also from the Fire Dragon Furnace.

"Counting the time, it has been ten years since the last time the Fire Dragon Furnace was opened. According to the agreement between the dwarves and the fire dragon, this year is the last time the furnace will be opened. After this time, the dragon will regain its freedom and leave here. Morgana said.

Not many people know the history of Darkfurnace City, and the agreement between the underground dwarves and the fire dragon is even more secret, and few people know about it.

The last time Gavin got rid of Morgana's help to find information about the Pegasus Swordmaster, Morgana saw it in the City Lord's Mansion's library, in the Pegasus Swordmaster's Record.

Not only Gavin didn't know these secrets, but everyone present didn't know.

Morgana pointed to the giant statue that was a hundred meters high in the distance and said, "That is the statue of the clan patriarch back then, he is also the current Great Lord of Dark Furnace City, a powerful legendary warrior, ranked 427th on the legendary throne. ā€

427, it doesn't seem like much, but the entire Continent of the Gods is too big, and there are thousands of legendary powerhouses. To be on the throne of legends is already remarkable. At least the Pegasus Sword Saint back then, and the legendary Sword Saint of the Barov family, were not eligible to be ranked on the Legendary Throne.

They are still too far away!

"According to the original plan, we will stay in Dark Furnace City for a while, and then find a way to inform Master Nikolai and ask him to come and answer him." Gavin said.

It is not easy to get from Dark Furnace City to Flame King City, and the Barov family will definitely block them along the way. Gavin decided to borrow the Darkfurnace City, the idea was not difficult to guess, Elendil must have guessed.

Therefore, Gavin decided to let everyone stay in Darkfurnace City first, and then find a way to inform Master Nikolai and let him pick him up.

Dark Furnace City is safe enough, as long as it is guarded, it will be fine.

The Great Lord of Dark Furnace City explicitly forbade anyone to fight and fight, and if you want to settle personal feuds, there is an arena called "Blood and Fire" under the volcano, and you can't help but live and die.

As long as Master Nikolai arrives, there is no need to worry. After all, if you want to stop an archmage, even if the archmage of the Barov family, or the legendary sword master takes action in person, it will be very difficult.

Morgana nodded, "The settlements around Darkfurnace City are not safe, and the security is not good. On the surface, no one dared to disobey the orders of the Great Lord of the Dark Furnace, but behind the scenes, it was difficult to say. We're going to have to live in the Dark Furnace. The city is patrolled by dwarven soldiers everywhere and is very safe. ā€

Morgana's proposal was not vetoed.

Although there are very few inns in Darkfurnace City, and the prices must be very expensive, no matter how expensive they are, they are not as expensive as their own lives.

These people are not short of money.

Brand and Willy don't have much money because of the accident, but Annabelle is quick to say that all the expenses along the way are hers. After all, she still needs everyone's protection, and she can't let everyone break the bank again.

Suffering sharpens people the most, and the little girl matures quickly.

She even promised everyone that as long as she arrived safely in the Flame King's City, received the canonization of His Majesty the King, and inherited the position of Lord and Marquis of Pegasus City, she would use her rights to let Brand and Willy inherit the title and knight Jean.

Located on top of a volcano, Darkfurnace City is easy to defend and difficult to attack with only a narrow path leading to the main entrance.

When you enter the gate, you will see a huge furnace, which is the furnace area of Darkforge, which is built directly above the lava lake, and the steps and floors made of rock block the heat of the magma, but you can still feel the heat here.

After priing open the mouth of a dwarven guard with a silver coin, Gavin and the others found an inn.
