Chapter 4: Red Rock Castle

Red Rock City, an underground city founded by the Grey Dwarves, is located in the northern part of the Underworld.

Of course, it is not without other races coming and going here, because as one of the branches of the dwarves, even if they are expelled, the gray dwarves have superb forging skills, which makes merchants of other races often come here to buy weapons from the gray dwarves.

These weapons are highly sought after in the underworld, where wars break out every day, because a good weapon and a good set of armor will determine your survival rate on the battlefield.

Therefore, the city of the gray dwarves can be seen from the towering walls outside, and the glittering bed crossbows are eyeing the gates of the people flowing in and out below, and the magic robes that are covered up make all those who come here dare not act rashly.

Artoria stood in front of the city gate at this time, watching the flow of people coming and going at the city gate not far away.

Of course, she was not surprised by the weapons and equipment on the city walls, but the strange appearance of the inhabitants of the underground world, not to mention the gray dwarves who were only half the height of adults, after all, in Artoria's world, the legend of dwarves also existed, and Artoria could still accept it.

But what was the creature with a hairy body and a dog's head in human form, Artoria said she couldn't accept it, goblins, drow elves, etc.

This made Artoria sigh at the wonder of this world, because in her own world, except for the elves in Avalon, Artoria saw all humans, and other races like dwarves and giants were completely only heard of in myths and legends.

Seeing the girl's sluggish appearance, Charles couldn't help but smile in his heart, but looking at the gray dwarf soldier who was standing at the gate of the city not far away and turned his attention because Artoria had stood still for a long time, Charles reached out and pulled the girl.

Artoria only reacted at this time, noticing the sights of the gray dwarves by the gate from time to time, and she smiled embarrassedly at Charles, who had just forgotten Charles's previous instructions because she had seen other races that she had never heard of.

However, she also understood why Charles should not be too surprised by what she saw, because the underground dwellers, who were very different from humans, the objects they used, and the architectural style of the city were very different from her original world.

Looking at the exotic things in front of her, Artoria forgot her obsession with Great Britain for a moment, and began to rise a little curious about this world that was completely unknown to her, and she wanted to see how different this world would be from her original world.

Seeing the expression of curiosity and excitement on the girl's face, Charles's guilt began to ease a little, and the love for the girl in his previous life made Charles have always had guilt in his heart since he deceived her, of course, only guilt.

However, seeing the girl's interest in this world, Charles was also a little happy in his heart, in addition to the guilt in his heart was slightly reduced, but also because only a person's soul has fluctuations, it is easier to be seduced.

After careful scrutiny by the grey dwarf soldiers, Charles and Artoria finally walked into the city unharmed by the vigilant gaze of the soldiers, and of course the guards could not avoid a shout.

"Human! I don't know why you goddamn ** people on the surface came to the underground, but you'd better be safe in Chiyan City! ”

"Teacher, I'm sorry, because my behavior just now made it troublesome for us to go into the city." A hint of embarrassment flashed on the girl's face, Artoria, who had always demanded herself as a king, had never been so out of shape in front of the public.

"It's okay, if it weren't for the fact that we didn't want to just come into this world, we would be too unfamiliar to be here to attract the attention of others. Otherwise, judging from the strength of those soldiers at the city gate, we can come and go at will. Charles shrugged his shoulders indifferently, even in the underworld, there are as many legends as dogs, and that is relative to the surface world.

Artoria only said casually, not so much that she was blushing because she was causing trouble, but that she was shy because of her own gaffe.

But noticing the unkind gaze of the underground residents around her, Artoria's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the words of the soldiers at the city gate just now made her look at Charles in puzzlement.

"Teacher, it looks like we're not very popular here."

Charles swept around and pushed away the gaze that was sweeping this way before replying, "This is natural, according to the information I got from my exploration a few days ago, we humans rarely appear in the underground world, except for some underground cities that have trade relations with the surface world, the rest of the cities do not accept us humans very much."

Artoria frowned and nodded, but in the eyes that swept towards her, she noticed that many of them were full of hatred, it seems that there has been some conflict between this underground world and the surface world, and humans are probably a representative of the conflict.

When Charles saw the girl's expression, he knew that the girl had guessed something, so he opened his mouth to confirm what the girl was thinking.

"In addition to the natives, a large part of the races in the underworld have been driven to the underworld by other races in the surface world. And because the underground world does not see light all year round, even if there are crops that adapt to the darkness, food is far from enough, plus other scarce resources, do you think the war between the two sides can be avoided? ”

The girl nodded thoughtfully, no wonder there was a lot of hatred in those people's eyes when they looked at her, but it was obvious that the other party was extremely taboo to make a move in the city, just standing aside and staring at this side with unkind eyes.

Who was the girl, she had long been accustomed to the feeling of being stared at, and after leaving those eyes behind, Artoria followed Charles around the city.

However, after walking around Red Rock City, Artoria turned to look at Charles, "Teacher, what are we going to do next, I don't think we can get the information we want just by walking around like this." ”

Charles stopped his steps and looked up at a palace not far away that was heavily fortified by the gray dwarves, and a smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

"Of course, let's go meet the top authority in the city, and I think we can get some of the information we want from each other."

Artoria looked over with Charles's gaze, and saw the sparse flow of people around her, as well as the gray dwarf soldiers guarding the layers, and the corners of the girl's mouth were also slightly curled.

"Of course, after all, people are also the lords of a city."

The girl didn't notice that after seeing that this world was completely different from her original world, her tone of voice began to become less serious and serious, and there was a hint of ease that she had never felt before.
