Section 397, Blackstone Mountain

Blackstone Mountain is a volcanic group located on the border of the Dwarven Hammer Kingdom. The tallest volcano is called "Black Rock Mountain".

It is also strange to say that the border of the Hammer Kingdom is all a snow-capped snow-capped mountain area, and due to the relatively high altitude of the mountainous area, the snow does not melt all year round, and it has been in an extremely cold climate similar to that of the Northrend continent. However, the Blackstone Mountain region, which is only separated from the Hammer Kingdom by a mountain range and has a similar altitude, is actually the other extreme, hot all year round, and constantly spewing lava and dust everywhere.

According to normal logic, the climate in the territory of the Iron Hammer Kingdom is normal, due to the high altitude, so the climate is cold, but the Black Rock Mountain at the same altitude is incredible, even if there are active volcanic groups erupting all year round, but theoretically it will not cause the entire mountain area to be hot all the time, which is not quite in line with the normal situation.

Information received from Grande indicates that the dwarves' power has long extended into the Blackstone Mountain region. The frequent geological activity of the Black Rock Mountain volcanic group underground, which has produced a large number of precious mineral veins, which is irresistible to the dwarves.

There are also a large number of minerals buried in the ground in the territory of the Iron Hammer Kingdom, but compared to the Black Rock Mountain, it is fundamentally pediatric, because the geological lava activity has been occurring in the deep underground of the Black Stone Mountain, forming a very strange geological phenomenon, and the flowing lava source is said to bring the precious minerals deep at the bottom to a shallow position from the ground to gather.

The dwarves have received the latest mineral technology from the gnomes to refine the mineral material that has been brought in. for the use of the Alliance.

It can be said that Blackstone Mountain is the main source of mineral materials for the Alliance.

……

Dante took Ash to hide behind a large rock. You can already feel the scorching heat blowing out in all directions, and the entrance to the cave in front of it is an entrance to the Black Rock Mountain. But it has been overrun by the dwarves, and two dwarven soldiers are standing guard at the entrance to the cave.

"Ash, can you stand the heat?" Dante looked inside the hole, a little worried, and asked Ash.

Ash nodded and whispered back, "It's fine." I'm not afraid of heat, I'm afraid of cold. ”

"Follow me." Dante saw Ash answer in the affirmative. And he began to move forward. They use stealth magic, and if they don't attack, they won't appear.

The two dwarven soldiers standing guard seemed to be old fritters. It looks a little absent-minded. Maybe they think this is the heart of the Alliance, and they don't need to worry about any invaders at all. One was smoking his pipe, while the other was wiping his musket.

Standing guard standing so casually? Dante looked at the two dwarven soldiers in front of him who were deserting and felt amused. He winked at Ash. Two for one. Reach behind the two dwarven soldiers.

"Smack", "poof", "hmm......", "woo......"

In this way, the two dwarven soldiers were silently killed, and the bodies were dragged aside to hide.

After taking out the guys who were in the way, Dante led Ash into the hole. The entrance to the cave was determined based on Grande's intelligence, and the road inside was relatively simple, and did not lead to the core of the Dwarven mining area. This way, Dante and Ash would not have to encounter a large number of dwarven troops.

"Whirring ......"

When he reached the entrance of the cave, Dante only felt a wave of heat. Wave after wave, almost all of them can knock people to the ground.

"Will it work?" Dante asked Ash again. "You're not like me, I have a magical body, don't force it."

"I can do it!" Ash nodded firmly.

So, the two of them began to walk towards the cave.

Not long after entering the cave, Dante felt a very strange magic! This magic power came out from the depths of the cave passage, giving him a very shocking feeling.

Why do you say "very shocking"? Because of this magic, he actually had a sense of déjà vu, which seemed to have been encountered somewhere before. What the hell is going on?

"......" As soon as Dante felt this strange magic, he was puzzled, and thought about it as he went. Seeing this, Ash, who was following him, asked strangely, "Dante?" Dante? What happened to you? ”

Dante was shouted by her a few times, and finally reacted, touched his head, and said, "Well, we have to be careful, there's something wrong here." ”

"Huh? Yes? What's going on? Hearing this, Ash was stunned for a moment, then looked around a few times, and found nothing special, so he asked, "This is the territory of the dwarves, of course you have to be careful." ”

"No, not dwarves." Dante felt the magic again, it was indeed not a hallucination, there must be something special hidden in the depths of this cave, it should not be something that dwarves can make. He shook his head and said to Ash, "I'm not like you. I could feel something different. You watch out. ”

"Good!" Ash nodded. So, the two continued on their way.

Grande's intelligence is good, and this cave passage is really great for sneaking into. Dante and Ash made their way forward, encountering scattered dwarves, but not stopping their way. This passage appears to be a mine that has been drained of ore veins, or a waste passage where there is no ore at all. Anyway, the dwarves don't seem to have much interest in this passage, and they didn't spend any money on building and mining.

The most important thing is that this passage goes all the way to the end, although there are some branches along the way, but they are all dead ends that can be seen. This also proves that this channel is indeed a waste mine road with no minerals.

About an hour after entering the passage, Dante and Ash came to the end of the passage. This "end" refers to the end of the mine passage built by the dwarves, and there is still a road behind it, but it needs to be climbed by two people.

"Whirring ......"

Standing in this position, Dante looked at the black cavern in front of him, which was full of chaotic stone paths, and the heat wave was getting stronger and stronger, and he could smell a very strong and pungent smell of sulfur.

According to the normal situation, the dwarves have given up their positions in front of them, and the positions ahead are definitely not within the reach of ordinary people.

Even if there is red lava, it doesn't illuminate the environment very well.

"......" Dante tried to feel the magic again, and it became stronger and stronger, and he could already tell the direction, which was coming from the volcanic lava cave in front of him!

This magic gives him a very strong sense of oppression! It was a wonderful feeling, and he had some acquaintances before, but ......

Dante thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember what the magic was emitting from this thing.

"Dante, let's get out of here." Ash nudged him and said, "It's a bad feeling here." ”

"Do you feel it too?" Dante looked at her and said, "This magic isn't something ordinary. ”

Ash also began to worry, but she thought about it for a while, and suddenly said to Dante, "Dante, I seem to have some impression of this magic." ”

When Dante heard her words, he became interested and hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Do you know what it is? ”

"Wait, you let me think about it first......" Ash frowned, thought for a moment, finally thought of something, clapped his hands, and said, "This magic power, it seems to be...... It's the magic of the dragon! ”

Dragon? Dragon!

Yes, it's dragon-like magic! Black Dragon, or Red Dragon?

Dante was reminded by Ash like this, and his mind was enlightened. He looked at the mouth of the volcanic cave in front of him again, and suddenly felt that this dragon ...... There's a dragon here!

What is the situation under this Black Rock Mountain? It's normal for lava caves to have dragons. If all the red dragons gathered and lived in the red dragon's lair under the leadership of Crassus, then it was likely that the black dragon was lurking here.

Black Dragon ......

Dante suddenly remembered that Renas. What is the origin of that mysterious beautiful woman? Why did she specify to find the lava under Blackstone Mountain?

Dante couldn't think of a reason for it, so he didn't bother to think about it, so he said to Ash, "Let's go, finish the matter, and get out of this hellish place!" (To be continued.) )
