Chapter XXIII: New Goals
That's it, the righteous adventure group is five plus two, an adventure team of seven people in total is about to go to the Titan Ruins for a new adventure or something...... But of course, there was one more thing they had to do before they could do that, and that was that they had to know where the Sky Titan ruins were.
"So, don't you know?" The main character, the succubus, looked at Al in surprise and asked.
"So why do you think I'll know?" Al asked calmly.
“…… All right. The main character, the succubus, was speechless.
In this way, the adventure of the Justice Adventure Group was in trouble from the very beginning. Fortunately. Although the protagonists Succubus and Al don't know what to do, there are still people in the Justice Adventure Group who know what to do.
That man was the old dwarf Moradin.
"Go to the High King...... No, just ask that guy if he can't. Old Moradin said.
"High King, that fellow...... Is it? The main character, the succubus, recalls something not so good: "To be honest, I don't really like that guy. ”
"To be honest, I don't like it either." Old Moradin said helplessly: "I didn't like it before, and I didn't like it even more after that kind of thing." However, if you want to talk about the Sky Titan's station, you'll have to ask him for help. ”
"Ahh In this way, the protagonist Succubus and his party awkwardly continue to move forward, to find the former Supreme King that they don't like.
Yes, the former High King.
That guy was already in a mess because of the matter of the elf ruins, and he was impeached by many people, and his position was not guaranteed. Originally, it was easy to come up with an expedition to the ruins of the Sky Titan, and I wanted to make some political achievements or something...... As a result, before this matter could be clarified, the matter of the Abyss Succubus came out again. Wiped out the whole of Hammerkeep's life.
This is a big deal, even bigger than the failure of the Elven Ruins Expedition. Even if the latter fails, it will only lose a few thousand dwarven warriors at most. Although the population of the dwarven race is small, there are hundreds of thousands. Although the death of thousands of elites makes people feel painful, it is not a pain in the bones. As long as it takes decades to recover, you don't have to worry about it.
But Hammer Castle serves as the capital of the entire dwarven race. It can even be said to be a spiritual hometown, a totem-like existence. If something happens to Hammerkeep, it is equivalent to a fundamental failure of the dwarven race.
Nowadays, the entire Hammer Castle is lifeless, which means that the entire dwarven race has lost something to move forward. It also means that the entire dwarven race has lost its vitality. This effect can spread invisibly from Hammer Keep to the entire dwarven race. Even the dwarven gods whose beliefs are influenced by the entire dwarven race.
If this situation is serious, it will lead to the decline of the entire dwarven race, and the power of the dwarven god system will be greatly reduced. Even some gods with weak divine powers will die out as a result.
The decline of the god system will further affect the dwarven race. And so on and so forth. Caused the entire dwarven race, and everything related to it to decline and even die. In this process, it is unknown whether other races, such as elves and humans, will help, but there will definitely be those who want to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the treasure of the dwarves or something. In this way, the dwarf race became extinct. It's not impossible.
"When I think of this, my heart is really like a knife." The main character, the succubus, shook his head and sighed, then said this. Of course. This guy pretended to be like this, so that everyone couldn't help but despise hehe. Whoever believes in him has a ghost. It's too late for this bastard to gloat......
That's it, compared with the protagonist Succubus, the former dwarf supreme king is really like a knife.
Yes, rightfully so. After such a big thing, this guy can't do it anymore. Not only could the work of the High King not be able to continue, but also the work of the Great King of the Dwarven Clan Alliance, which was based on Hammerkeep, and the king of his own clan.
This guy is completely retired. And because of the poor performance of the previous work, it even led to the entire dwarf race falling into a crisis of decline. So no one sympathizes with this guy, and no one comes to take care of this guy after he retires.
The home, which was originally very lively and full of friends every day, has now become deserted. Except for a very small number of juniors of the same clan, who occasionally came to take care of him, no one else came here.
Perhaps, it's because of this reason, so this guy looked very happy after seeing the arrival of the protagonist succubus and his party. He seems to have completely forgotten a little bit of his feud with the Justice Adventure Group before this.
"It's miserable, this guy looks like a normal bad old man right now." The main character, the succubus, couldn't help but think in his heart after seeing this guy.
Yes, without the crown and the huge blow to his heart, this guy looks decadent.
Unlike the dwarven, round beer barrel body, this guy is thin and weak, as if he has been malnourished since childhood, and he is weak to speak. It's unimaginable that a year ago, this guy was still in high spirits. Unexpectedly, this guy is the powerful warrior who can apply a super powerful buff to a team of 1,000 people with a single command, and can compete with giants and dragons with a warhammer scepter.
"All in all, it's a rare time for you to come back here and see me, an old man." The other party said this, although he wanted to cheer up, but his voice was weak.
"Ah, ah, such an old man, there is no ** that makes people bully." The main character, the Succubus, sighs, "All in all, let's make a long story short, we want to go to the ruins of the Sky Titans. ”
"Ruins of the Sky Titan?!" After hearing the protagonist succubus mention this word, the other party's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Sure enough, this guy hasn't gotten to the point where he's sent to a recycling station." The protagonist succubus thinks so in his heart. At the same time, El was brought in: "The specific things are up to this holy warrior to say." She's more credible than me, right? ”
"Ah, yes, that's right." Al, who was pulled over by the main succubus, nodded, and then stammered the previous words. The guy looks nervous. This makes the main character, the succubus, a little strange.
If the other party is still the high-ranking dwarven supreme king, this fool will be nervous. But the deposed Supreme King is obviously just a broken old man. Is it necessary to stammer?
The protagonist succubus thought so in his heart. But in the end, this guy made everything clear.
“…… I see. I see. After saying this, the former Dwarven High King nodded, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Wait a minute." ”
After saying this, he turned and left. The rickety back, coupled with the staggering pace, made people can't help but worry about whether this guy would fall to the ground and hang up while walking.
Although the term "porcelain" was not invented in this era, in this case, the protagonist Succubus can't help but worry.
Thankfully, though. Although it looks like it will fall when the wind blows, even the protagonist Succubus suspects that all the gifts he received from the dwarven gods have disappeared without a trace. But he didn't fall down before he could walk, and then die.
"By the way, at this time, this guy shouldn't have fallen to eat and then fell to the ground and died, right?" The main character, the succubus, couldn't help but say this.
"Ah, yes, and this guy has that map to the ruins of the Sky Titans in his hand. We walked over worriedly, feeling that he was dead, so we took the map. Then a dwarf came up and thought we had killed him. Then he shouted in panic...... This unfolding? Do you think you're making a movie? ”
Next to the main character, the succubus, Yulia rolled her eyes and complained.
In the midst of such an unnutritious conversation, the former dwarven supreme king left tremblingly and walked over again. He looked very happy, holding a parchment roll in his hand. Most of the time it's a map of the legendary Sky Titan Ruins.
"Be sure those people are brought to justice." His voice trembled slightly: "Please bring back the wealth that belongs to the common dwarves, please, I am already a candle in the wind, I have made a huge mistake, and I really have no shame to see the dwarven gods and ancestors after death, but-"
Speaking of which, the former Dwarven High King stumbled, and then fell to the ground with a "snap".
"......" The protagonist succubus and his party looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, after seeing that this guy didn't mean to get up, the protagonist succubus took two steps forward, turned him over, stretched out his finger and tried to snort.
......After this, the succubus, the protagonist, raised his head, looked at the restless waiting teammates around him, and said something heart-wrenching.
"Dead."
"the hell and really die?!" Xiaobai couldn't help but shout.
"So now according to custom, shouldn't someone come and see this?" Uncle Missing Ears teased like this.
Immediately afterward, a young dwarf walked in and saw the scene. He was stunned for a moment, then trembled, and then ran out shouting:
"Oh no, no, no! Grandfather was killed!!! He yelled and ran all the way out. The people of the Justice Adventure Group were too surprised to stop it, so they just watched this guy run out.
"I'll you!" The protagonist succubus couldn't help but shout: "My prophecy magic is finally complete!" ”
"Is this the time to say something like that?! What are we going to do now, bastard?! Yulia shouted angrily, "We're going to be treated as murderers!" (To be continued......)
