Chapter 556: King Greybeard
Hey, this kid is convenient, I still have to pick up the equipment one by one, no way, who let these things not be traded directly, they can only be thrown on the ground.
Watching the Seal of the Gods walk all the way down the stairs, I couldn't help but chase after it, and asked a little puzzled, "Hey, buddy, I'm going to find the king up there, how do you go down?"
The Seal of God looked up and said to me, "The destination is above, but the entrance is below. That's why I said that if you do it, you won't be able to go until next year, because you went the wrong way in the first place. ”
Damn, I see, it's all the fault of those perverted dwarves, it's a waste of my time.
Following the God's Seal down to the bottom of the Black Peak Tower, he led me along the fiery river of flames, around a dark and steep mountain wall, where waves of heat were coming, and rolling red magma was spewing out from the three huge lion-headed sculptures on the mountain wall, converging into the river of flames.
"There's no way here, do you want to get into those lava?" I stopped, pointed to the mountain wall in front of me, and said.
"There is no road in this world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." The Seal of the Gods smiled back at me, made a forward gesture, and walked straight into the waterfall-like lava.
Drink, is this kid a wrong tendon, just walk in, is it because he wants to commit suicide, I saw it straight, and muttered secretly in my heart.
"Hey, what do you think. Come here. "The God's Seal has just walked into the magma waterfall, and a hand is stretched out from behind it. He beckoned to me.
Ah, am I dazzled, that kid just passed the magma jet ground, and it's okay.
I walked up to the mountain wall and looked behind the waterfall against the scorching rocks. It turned out that the lava waterfall was not close to the rocky field, and there was a narrow passage about a meter wide, just enough for one person to walk through. But it doesn't look like it from the front. Even if you go closer, you can't see it unless you look closely at it from the side. Not to mention that those winding stairs are so misleading to me, even if there are no stairs. It's not so easy to find such an entrance.
As soon as I got behind the lava falls, I felt a wave of heat whistling down my vest, and a smell of burnt oil was rising, and my grandmother almost cooked me. Looking back, there is a bright passage inside, and the night pearl inlaid at the top of the passage makes it look like day. Coupled with the red light reflected in the lava waterfall, the walls on both sides of the tunnel seem to be carved out of crystal clear red crystal. The walls are separated by stone pillars. On the stone pillars, there are various monster heads of various forms, some quiet and peaceful, some with hideous faces, and some with a slight smile. Some of them have angry eyes, and although their expressions are different, the workmanship is equally delicate and nuanced, as if ingenious.
Seeing that the Seal of God had already gone to the front, I quickly quickened my pace and followed him. He is not familiar with life here, in case he encounters a labyrinth again. Even if we have a high level, it will be in vain, and it is still convenient to have a guide. Time is money, and you can save it.
I don't know how long I walked along the narrow passage, but I knew that the lava waterfall behind me was no longer visible, and the passage finally came to an end. In front of him was a gorgeous stone door, on which the huge dwarven head was embossed and convex, and the huge ruby pupils stared at the passage in a stunned manner, and on each side stood a capable dwarven guard, dressed in bright red and heavy iron armor, with some thick fur on the edges, which looked wild.
"Seal, how can you bring outsiders here, don't you forget that we don't allow outsiders to enter here?" As soon as the dwarf standing on the right, holding a sharp double-edged battle axe in both hands, saw us, he immediately swung his axe and said loudly.
The guards here are in the same tone as the dwarves outside, and it seems that they really don't take me, the demon lord, seriously. Well, I don't have much to do with you, I smiled lightly and took out the letterhead written by Elder Dip Sahon to the Graybeard King from my bag, walked forward, put it in front of the dwarven guard, shook it in front of the eyes, and said, "Then, I am not an idle person, I was commissioned by the goblin elder to come to your king." ”
The two guards didn't impress me because of the letter, but their faces were much gentler, and they nodded and said, "Oh, that's where it is, then I can let you in, wait a minute." ”
The Seal of the Gods was also full of disapproval, and stood at the doorway and waited for a while. Not long after, a rumbling sound was heard behind the door, and the stone door with the carved head opened, revealing a circular floor inlaid with malachite.
The Seal of the Gods nodded at me and said, "You can go." I stepped into the door with a familiar foot, and I hurriedly strode to follow.
There was a door on the opposite side of this small circular room, exactly like the one in front of it, except that there were no guards at the door. When I stepped into the small room, the stone door behind me slammed shut, leaving me and the Seal of God alone.
Seeing that the Seal of the Gods stood motionless, looking at the stone gate opposite, and had no intention of moving forward, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward and try to push the stone door.
"Wait a minute!" The Seal of the Gods said suddenly, and at the same time, a strong vibration came from the ground, and I almost fell. There was a roar in my ears, and I faintly felt a feeling of weightlessness, like riding a roller coaster, which made people's hearts flutter, damn, could these dwarves still make teleportation tools similar to elevators, I secretly speculated in my heart.
After a minute, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, the roar in my ears also quieted down, and there was another shaking under my feet, and the stone door in front of me slowly opened, revealing a passage that was exactly the same as before.
"Let's go." The Seal of God patted me on the shoulder and walked out of me. I glanced back at the stone gate from earlier. I looked at the open one in front of me again, and took out my head. Following the seal of the gods, he stepped into the tunnel again.
Although the style is identical, it is clearly not the same path as before. In addition to the statues on the ground, each of the pillars stood a dwarven guard wearing iron armor and carrying a heavy hammer. Looking at this heavily guarded frame, it really makes people feel like they are in the palace.
Sure enough, at the end of the passage was a luxurious ...... Bedroom? Huge crystals are embedded in the opposite wall, like priceless floor-to-ceiling windows. And I'm looking for the Greybeard King standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He kept stroking his beard, which was almost down to his feet.
I know why he was called the Greybeard King, because his long beard was gray, and he lived up to his name.
This king was not as richly dressed as I had hoped. Instead, he was dressed in a dressing gown that dragged long to the ground, and a top-notched nightcap on top of his head, more like a crappy old magician. A garlic-like rosacea with red dots on it, and a mouth full of teeth underneath, I'd think he'd be one of those filthy drunks in a wine coffin.
Graybeard saw me and the Divine Seal enter, and waved at us, motioning for us not to speak. Pull up the dressing gown with both hands. Cautiously walked to the window and looked out with excitement on his face. I followed his gaze and saw that two white birds were parked outside the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, as if looking for a suitable place to stay. so that they can build a nest for their peace of mind.
After a while, the two little birds, as if they felt that the smooth stone was not the best place to build a nesting room, flapped their wings and flew away, and the Greybeard turned back with regret on his face, and rubbed his eyes, which were a little swollen from lack of sleep.
"Ah, the seal. Did you come to me for something? Who is this stranger?" The king, who was noticeably more polite than the dwarven guards, slowly walked up to us and looked me up and down.
"I'm fine." The Seal of the Gods smiled, found a random chair and sat down, pointed at me and said, "I came here to show him the way." ”
King Greybeard turned his gaze to me, rubbing his bloodshot eyes once more.
I coughed, took out the letter written by Elder Dip Sadon, handed it to the bearded old man, and said, "I have been entrusted by the goblins of Hannabisi to ask the dwarves to join forces with them against Quearala. ”
Oh, is it the Great Elder's letterhead, thank you. The Greybeard King took the letter, opened it quickly, groped for a pair of glasses from his bosom and put them on, and read it word by word. With the uncertainty on his face and the frowning brow, I guess the situation is not ideal.
Optimistic about the letter, King Greybeard refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope, then raised his head and said to me, "Young warrior, thank you for bringing us valuable news, we dwarves are very willing to cooperate with the goblins. Thousands of years ago, the goblins were originally one family with the dwarves. Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to be able to help much right now, because Quearala is getting stronger and stronger, and it's not something we can deal with together. ”
Before the Greybeard King's words were finished, there was a miserable woman's cry from the small door on the side, sobbing and swallowing, indescribably miserable and desolate, I looked at the Greybeard King tentatively, and swept my eyes to the side, you old guy should not have also played the trick of robbing the people's daughters, so he was passive and slack, and did not want to go in.
Graybeard glanced at the small door, took his head and sighed, "That's my wife, because she drank the water enchanted by Queara by mistake, so she cries all day long, and she can't be happy anyway." In order to make her laugh, I even tried to play the clown, but it didn't work at all. I can't see her innocent smile, I don't do anything, if...... If you can find a way for me to lift her curse, then I can do my best to help the goblins against Quearala. ”
After a long time, it turned out that he was not wearing a nightgown, but playing a clown, hehe, he really has no talent for humor at all, no wonder his wife can't laugh. Listen to his adjectives, how old they are, and her wife will still laugh innocently. Evil is not disgusting.
I knew it wouldn't be easy, and as I expected, the Greybeard King went on and on for a long time, but in the end he didn't want me to run errands for him, or he wouldn't have agreed to work with the goblins. What kind of magical curse did his wife have? It's not for sure, but he's guessing. Ten of the best are drinking the water of the Fountain of Sorrow.
I looked at the Seal of God with an inquiring eye, and he took out his head and said, "I'm not of enough rank to have received this task. But I know there's a place that might have something to do with the enchanted water. ”
If my guess is correct, and that the enchanted water is the Fountain of Sorrow, finding it might lead to Quearella's lair. Once you've found Quearella's lair, you might be able to find a way to unenchant King Greybeard and his wife.
"Then you can take me to that place." I said to the Seal of God.
"No problem." The Godseal nodded. said: "But I can only send you to the intersection, and then go out is a high-level monster." I don't want to be downgraded for the time being, so I won't accompany you to death. ”
What does it mean to accompany me to death? It was as if I was going to die. We now have several Rebirth Pills in our hands (after I got the Beast Spirit Sect Master, Old Man Hua helped me refine it), plus the Little Purple Land Resurrection Technique, is it so easy for me to die.
Following the Seal of the Gods, we walked out of the Greybeard King's ...... bedroom, back to the source of the "River of Fire". And the place mentioned by the Seal of the Gods is at the other end of the "Flame River", and the exit of the black hole is bottomless, and in the middle is the rushing purple-red magma.
"Follow this magma river, and when you get to the end, you'll see an exit. Jump from there. You'll get to the place I'm talking about. The Seal of the Gods pointed to the cave carved into the "Lion's Great Opening" and said, "I won't go with you now, I should be able to buy a few pieces of equipment from the blacksmith now, and I'll give it to you later, today is a day of trade." Resources cannot be wasted. (There is also a limit to the amount and days of equipment that can be purchased in the dwarven village, and you can only buy more than ten pieces of equipment on specific trading days of the week, and you can only repair equipment at other times, and you can only buy one or two pieces of equipment, and you can't buy more equipment)
I nodded, and waved at the God's Seal. Turn around and carefully walk into the black rock carved into the mouth of a lion.
It was very hot in the cave, and the air was filled with a thick, choking smell of sulfur, which made me unable to open my eyes. The magma at his feet is constantly bubbling, making a "porphyry" sound, like a pot of boiling chili carrot soup. The sound of the bubble bursting echoed through the hollow passageway, dull, yet infinitely amplified.
There were some red, almost transparent lava spiders roaming around the cave, only more than forty levels, crawling towards me with teeth and claws, spitting black venom, boring, killing these little things was simply a waste of time, I sneaked away, disappeared into the air, and ran straight along the lava.
The road surface is full of uneven, different forms of lava ore, the part eroded by the heat and magma is a little soft, the surface looks like there is no difference between the roots, but in fact, the bottom of them has been molten by the heat, if you accidentally step on it, there will be countless rocks rolling down the hot magma, and when it collapses, it is a large area, so that people have no place to stand. There were times when I stepped on such loose rocks, but luckily our buddies were very responsive, otherwise they would have fallen into the lava and turned into slices of meat in a spicy soup pot, and they would have been cooked and cooked in no time. I lifted my distracted eyes, and the Wyvern Cloud Claw was also tightly held in my hand, and the other end was buckled on my belt. In case there is really an emergency, this thing can come in handy and prevent it.
The long flame trail ran through the entire Black Peak Tower, and when I saw a ray of sunlight shining in through the exit not far ahead, I had been running for nearly half a day. The road also branched into two branches, one down and one upward. The one below, the flaming river continues to move towards the center of the earth with its rushing lava, while the other one is clearly the exit. In the sunlight, I could already see the shadows of the leaves swaying and the fresh air brought in by the breeze. After smelling the sulfur for so long, my head is already dizzy now, and the fresh air makes my mind refreshed, and my steps are more brisk.
I came out, and as soon as I was happy, my feet suddenly emptied, and the wind blew up from under my feet, and the weightlessness made me suddenly feel light, and the flying dragon cloud exploration claw in my hand was also thrown out in the first time. You are a seal of the gods, you don't say it clearly, why don't you tell me that this exit is located on the mountainside, the upper does not touch the sky, the lower does not touch the ground, if it weren't for the flying dragon cloud claw in my hand, I would not have to fall below and fall into a puddle of flesh and mud, the exit is a cliff, and I scolded secretly in my heart when I fell down.
There was a huge pull from his waist, and the dragon tendons on the flying claws had been stretched to the maximum. I grabbed it with my backhand, tugged on the tendons, and slammed into the steep wall with the force of the elastic force. Just as my body was about to hit the rock, I saw the right moment and kicked my legs against the rock, and my body bounced away again, avoiding the powerful impact. After a few ups and downs, I was already hanging on the straight mountain wall, and the whistling mountain wind rolled around me like a knife, which made me feel a little like a celestial person.
Looking up, I saw several large trees with crooked necks sticking out of the cracks in the rocks next to the cave, and it was they that I had just seen the shadows of the trees. Other than that, there are smooth rock walls everywhere, and there is no place to stay. Unless my Wyvern Cloud Finder has the ability to break rocks, it is impossible to grab anything, but in fact the Wyvern Cloud Claw does not have that function. Luckily, my Wyvern's Cloud Finder claw was stuck on the branch of one of the trees.
A blazing sun had risen high, and the relentless sunlight baked the rock wall, which felt a little hot to the touch, perhaps because of the magma inside. I steadied myself and looked down. Now I am about sixty or seventy meters above the ground, and below me is a hill, with a few small arched dirt bags and some clods and rocks that have been turned out, which seem to be the entrance to the mine. There were small gray figures moving slowly next to them, but I couldn't see them very clearly because they were so far away.
It is almost a fool's dream to climb down such a steep wall with no focus, although it should be possible with two superb daggers and our flying claws, but as long as there is any mistake in this, it will immediately fall from this mid-air. I'm not interested in pushing the limits, it's better to be safe and secure, free my hand, and I immediately called Xiao Jin out.
Little Jin flapped his wings in mid-air and flew back in circles, and with a clear sound, he came to a steady stop below me, and it was impossible for it to stand still completely against the mountain wall. I plunged the Sealing Blade into the black rock with one hand to secure its position, and with the other hand, I threw it upwards and retracted the Flying Dragon's Cloud Exploration Claw. With a kick of his legs, he pulled up the sealing blade, and his body turned over with a harrier in the air, landing steadily on Xiao Jin's broad back.
