Chapter 64: The Dwarven Prince Kogan
The winding stone road is very difficult to walk, there are many faults between the roads, people may fall without paying attention, and the drop of hundreds of meters and the hot environment are also easy to make people feel dizzy.
Not to mention that the warrior monk also carried a heavily armored dwarf on his shoulder, and Ling and Doris carried a heavy day elf......
The Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team stumbled along the way, they didn't know how long they had been walking, just when they were about to run out of strength, a huge and magnificent city gate finally appeared in front of them, seeing the drawbridge at the gate and the dwarven guards standing at the door, Acoste They were very excited, it was like a long-lost army had found their own organization.
Acoste also took a deliberate look at the dwarves' features, their thick beards and eyebrows were the same black as Kogan's, which proved that they were not the gray dwarves of the Dark Regions......
"Stop, who are you, strangers are not welcome in the dwarves of Cold Rock City!" As they approached the gates, several heavily armed dwarven guards unsurprisingly stopped them.
"We're just adventurers who strayed here, we don't have any ill intentions, I'm still a nobleman of the Temple of Justice, I just want to find a place to rest." Acoste felt his hands show his friendliness, and at the same time, he had already taken out the "pass" of all tried-and-true spirits, the noble medal of the Temple of Justice, from his arms.
But to Acoste's surprise, the Universal Medal had met with Waterloo here, and the dwarven warriors only glanced at them with their eyes and ignored them, instead looking at them with more wary eyes.
"Hey, hey. Is there a mistake?! The Half-Elf Sword Saint waved the medal in his hand vigorously, and they didn't even recognize it. How is this possible, to say that the influence of the prestige of Tyr, the god of justice on the continent, is good.
"You guys. I suggest you get out of here quickly, or we're going to get started. The dwarven guard's temper tantrum was visibly enraged by Acoste's nagging, and they all took a step forward with their shields raised, and drew their glittering axes from their waists as if they were about to do it.
"Alright, let's get out of here." Acoste sighed, he knew very well the stubborn temper peculiar to the dwarves, and he himself did not take a few dwarven guards at the door, but he was afraid to beat these dwarves to lead the dwarves out of a city. They still have two injured patients in their squad, which is definitely not a wise choice.
"Hey, wait, wait a minute!" Just when the half-elf Sword Saints were disappointed and wanted to go back the way they came, looking for any other way out, things took a turn for the better, and a dwarven guard suddenly called out to stop them.
"Who's that bald man carrying on his shoulders?"
"Oh, you said he was Kogan. Brute Hammer. It's a member of our adventure team, I'm the leader of this adventure team, is there any problem? “
Because of Yacoste's words, the dwarven guards who had been hostile to everyone before instantly became serious. They were so close to the enemy that one of the dwarven guards even ran to the place where the horn had been placed and blew it vigorously.
"Boom..."The drawbridge was lowered, and the gates were opened. A group of dwarven hoplites ran out of the gates.
Acoste was startled, he even felt the aura of a few high-level professionals in this group of soldiers. The Half-Elf Sword Master pulled out, and the rest of the members were ready to attack. They don't know what's wrong with those dwarves, didn't they just introduce themselves in a painless way, they are like taking the wrong medicine, could it be that Kogan has done something here that everyone is angry about?
But no matter what, it was impossible for the Half-Elf Sword Master to hand over his partner so simply.
The dwarves gathered more and more, and gradually surrounded the few people of Acoster on the third floor, and then a horn sounded louder than before, and the dwarves in front of them dispersed in unison to both sides, leaving a passage for one person to walk.
A dwarf wearing a crown of masonry walked straight up to them from inside the city......
This dwarven king looked very old, the wrinkles on his face were criss-crossed like a rock that had been through the vicissitudes of life, and his waist was no longer straight, but it was such a dwarf who had entered his twilight years, but it made Acoste and his party feel a sense of collapse.
Legendary Professional
It's not that they haven't seen a legend before, but they have all looked at it from a distance, and they really don't face to face with the legend once, and now when a living legendary professional stands in front of them, all they can feel is despair.
Just standing up can give them no hope of resisting, so do they still need to go head-to-head?
The entire team gave up resistance except for Acoste and Li Qing, and only the half-elf sword saint and the warrior monk barely maintained a defensive posture. It's not that they think they have a chance to live, it's just that the glory of the warriors teaches them not to kneel and beg for death.
However, the dwarven king did not make a move, he stood there and looked at Kogan on the shoulder of the warrior monk, with a kind expression in his eyes, he waved his hand slightly, and the dwarves surrounding Acoste suddenly beat their chests with one hand in unison, and lowered their heads and half knelt on the ground
What the heck? The Acoster group was a little confused by such a dramatic scene, and it wasn't until the dwarves shouted out a loud voice that the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team knew what was going on.
"Welcome back to His Royal Highness the Prince!!"
Acoste was momentarily stunned, he looked at the unconscious Kogan, and then pinched his cheek hard to see if he was too tired to create some kind of environment.
But the pain on his face clearly told him that everything he saw and heard now was true
In this way, the half-elf sword saint and his party were escorted all the way into the city like the distinguished guests of the kingdom, although the progress of the matter greatly exceeded the expectations of the Acoste people, but finally their original intention of entering the city was achieved.
It was a real city of dwarves, with intricate streets lined with stone igloos smaller than ordinary houses, bottomless tunnels appearing on the stone walls around the city, all of which were excavated by dwarves from mining ore from the mountains, and blacksmith shops and breweries were the most numerous buildings in the city, with two or three houses on almost every street. Along the way, all the dwarven civilians looked at a few adventurers standing behind the dwarven king with puzzled eyes, but none of the dwarves dared to come forward to talk, in the social civilization of the dwarves, the proportion of royal power and divine power is equal, because each dwarf king is a voter personally elected by the dwarf gods, so the other identity of each king is the archbishop.
The king's palace was located above the large furnace in the center of the city, and the dwarven king smiled and led everyone into a prison-like fence room next to the furnace.
The elevator quickly rose to the top, the fence opened, and what appeared in front of the half-elf swordmaster and his party was a majestic palace made of gray granite, and the dwarven king walked straight to the throne at the top of the palace and sat on it, while the dwarven guards who had been escorting a few people stood in two rows on both sides of the main hall.
"My name is Kou Ying. Brute Hammer, the king of Coldstone, thank you for taking care of my son, adventurers, during this time. (To be continued.) )
