The central mountain range of the main plane crisscrosses the continent and stretches for thousands of miles. It's a paradise for monsters, a paradise for adventurers and explorers, and a former home for dwarves!

In the aftermath of Ragnarok in the First Age, the city of Cusquez, located in the heart of the Central Mountains in the Antwerma Mountains, is the legendary dwarven city of gold when it is attacked by the demon dragon Alex Anke. The great Mogarella Growler, the king of the Dwarven Kingdom, was dissolved into gold by dragon fire after letting out his final roar of rage at the dragon, and the once-powerful Dwarven Empire fell apart. Later, the great Builder Sogor Stormhammer, a distant relative of Mogarella Growler, led the vast majority of the surviving dwarves to the edge of the Central Mountains, Mount Gori Batu, on the edge of the Central Mountains, to establish a new city, Muscovite Anko, and establish himself as king. Some of the dwarven tribes unwilling to submit to Sogor Stormhammer have chosen to leave the fledgling dwarven city of Anko, Moscow, and wander in various planes. Another group of dwarves abandoned their beliefs and chose to embrace the dragon's flames, becoming depraved black iron dwarves living in the collapsed ruins of Andvilma Mountain.

In order to reclaim the glory that belonged to the dwarves, in the Second Age, Anthos the Revenator Stormhammer, grandson of Sogor the Fortifier, and Siegfried Dragon Slayer, the hero Siegfried Dragon Slayer, drove the dragon Alex Ank back to the Endless Abyss. The Black Iron Dwarves, who had lost the protection of their dragon master, were forgiven by Anthos the Revenator and banished to the Underworld.

Although the city of Cusques has been restored, the terrible environment is no longer suitable for survival, with hot lava flowing through the tunnels and toxic miasma contaminating precious mineral deposits. In desperation, after transporting the statue of the main dwarven god Muradin back to the city of Anko, the Liberator Anthos announced the abandonment of the city of Kuskes, along with all the gold treasures in the city.

During the Age of Darkness and Chaos that later swept across the Main Plane, the city of Anko Moscow was attacked by the Endless Abyss and Hell. Of the seven fire hammer sages who assisted the dwarven king Sogol in establishing the city, only three sages, the Brute Hammer, the Iron Palm, and the Thunder Hammer, survived with descendants

Trek Hammer is a descendant of the Hammer Sage, and has a very high status in the Dwarven Kingdom, second only to the King's dwarven clan.

The reason why Carl knows these dwarven histories is because his dead ghost daddy taught them. Although his dead ghost father is just a thief with little reputation, he knows a lot of things. Every time Carl was taught something, he wondered if he was the embodiment of the God of Knowledge, or if he possessed the legendary omniscient Book of Omniscience.

After rescuing Terric, Karl also thought about saying goodbye to him and continuing to search for Julius Caesar's tomb. But on second thought, since Trek was so passionate about himself, and the war hammer that Terrick used in battle, it resembled the Savage Hammer, one of the legendary Seven Hammers of the Dwarves. Carl decided to accept Terrick's invitation. With the help of this high-ranking Terric, it is believed that the dwarves who knew the Central Mountains well could learn about the tomb of Julius Caesar.

Rustling on the rotten branches and leaves, Carl walked side by side with Terek. Karl tilted his head and asked curiously, "Brother Trek, why were you hunted down by the Bloodstriped Red Flame Tiger?" As far as I know, this is not an area where the Bloodstreaked Red Flame Tiger is active at all. Thinking that he was being chased by a beast for no reason, the grumpy Terike kicked the big tree next to him fiercely, don't look at Terrick's short stature, but the power contained in this foot is not small, the thick ancient tree swayed, and the frightened bird that stayed on it fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

After venting the frustration in his heart, Terike said angrily, "Today I left the city of Anke in Moscow alone, preparing to determine the specific location of a place I marked earlier that may contain rich Ugin. Then, in the process of confirming the position, I saw something flashing not far ahead, so I ran over curiously to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got there, I was attacked by the Blood-Patterned Red Flame Tiger. I didn't even have time to see what that shiny thing was!"

"Something shiny, could it be a fire diamond?" The Death Ghost Daddy's book of minerals clearly states that the Fire Diamond is Ugin's companion gem. In places where the black gold veins are abundant, excellent quality fire source diamonds will be born. What Terrick can see directly should be a good fire source diamond.

The Fire Source Diamond condensed by the fire element has a fatal temptation to the fire attribute demonic beast, if it can swallow the Fire Source Diamond that Terike saw, I believe that the Blood Pattern Red Flame Tiger will definitely be able to advance into the Golden Pattern Yan Tiger. It's just a pity that they ran into Karl.

"Brother Terrick, you're in the right place. If I'm right, the Ugin vein should be there. ”

"Brother Karl, don't worry about the Ugin vein now. Let's hurry back to Anko City, Moscow, a big glass of ale is waiting for us to drink!" It was clear that Terrick had forgotten about the unhappiness caused by the Bloodstreaked Red Flame Tiger, and now he was all about letting his good friend Carl taste the most delicious ale.

Seeing the honest Trek laughing, Karl had no choice but to follow him towards the city of Anko, Moscow.

Shortly after Carl left, the space rippled in the quiet forests of Mount Nair. Amerigo, the chief director of the Explorers' Guild, walked through the spatial portal and landed firmly on the ground.

Turning his head to look at the forest around him, Amerigo raised his arm and shook slightly in the air, and a faint cloud of smoke appeared in the air, and then extended into the depths of the forest, where Carl and Trek had left.

Noticing the dead body of a dire wolf not far away, Amerigo wanted to use time to look back at the son of the deceased, but after thinking about it, Amerigo still put down the staff in his hand. According to the director Kamei, Carl did not know much about the rules and regulations of the Explorers Guild, and he did not even know what the identity badge he used under his false name represented. It seems that his old friend simply left the item to him without telling him what it meant. If he rashly uses time retrospection and is noticed by him, I am afraid that there will be unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Son of Unoria, look forward to our meeting soon. As the door of space opened, Amerigo stepped in. A gust of mountain wind blew, and the place became silent again.

"Where's Terek's mount, wouldn't it be too slow for us to walk like this?" Carl and Terek had been walking on Nair Mountain for a long time, and they were about to leave the Nair Mountain Boundary. But Terek never told Karl how long it would be before he could reach Mount Anko in Moscow. If you can use the Swift Walk, you can travel much faster. But dwarves are inherently averse to magic, and even amplified magic is unwilling to be blessed.

The dwarves relied on their belief in Muradin, the main god of the dwarves, to work like magic, but the dwarves only used it in times of crisis, and they felt that this was enough to show respect for the main god, Muradin.

Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of mining mineral deposits, the Dwarven Kingdom has vigorously developed mechanical creatures that have amazed the other countries of the main plane.

"Carl, do you mean Ironbeard? In the last battle, Ironbeard was injured and still recovering, so I didn't ride it. Trek said honestly.

"Did you hike to Mount Nell?" said Karl to Terek, looking at Trek in disbelief. Seeing Terrick's affirmative nod, Carl covered his eyes with a smile. Oh, god Muradin, are the dwarves you created all stone? From the city of Anko, Moscow, so far from here, Terek actually walked on foot. Carl was no longer able to complain. Now that he had regretted agreeing to Terric, Karl could already anticipate the fact that when he asked the other dwarves about the tomb of Julius Caesar the Great in Anko City, Moscow, he would get an answer that was completely unmatched by the heart of the angel.

"Stupid Terek, stupid Terike. Phoenix flew over Trek's head and laughed loudly.

"Feini, you're so rude. While reprimanding Phoenix, Carl said to Terike, "Don't mind Terike, Finny has been a little out of order lately!" After saying that, Carl wanted to slap Phoenix flying in mid-air with his hand.

"Oh, God the Father is above. Carl wanted to hit me, do you want the whole plane to know that you peeked at Jenny next door taking a shower when you were twelve?" Phoenix dodged Carl's slap and flew into the woods with a puff of smoke. Every time he told Carl about his scandal, he would get angry and threaten to roast himself and eat it. But the beautiful and ladylike Miss Phoenix had already seen through Carl's thoughts. If I fly so far, you don't even want to catch me!

It's a pity that not long after Phoenix was proud, a water dragon bullet hit her accurately, and Phoenix, who was still full of spirit, turned into a soup chicken in an instant, and then planted it on the ground.

After doing all this, Carl, who didn't care whether Phoenix was alive or dead, turned to Trek and said, "Brother Trek, what Fatney said is false, how can a handsome and upright person like me go to spy on someone else taking a bath." ”

Carl, who secretly tilted his head to see Terrick's reaction, found Terrick's face blank, "Carl, what's wrong with you." Why did Phoenix suddenly fly into the woods?"

Carl had a flash of inspiration and said, "Terek, how old are you this year?"

"I'm forty-five years old, and in two months I'll be an adult. Trek said honestly, "Carl, don't look at me as an adult now, but I'm already the captain of the Kingdom Survey Team." ”

Watching Trek take out the badge representing the captain of the Dwarven Kingdom Survey Team from his arms, Carl couldn't help but believe it. But Terrick is not an adult, and Carl really didn't expect it, after all, the bearded face is full of furrows, and Carl believes that Terrick is more than a hundred years old. Because dwarves usually have a much higher lifespan than humans, the forty-five-year-old Terric is indeed just an adult based on the lifespan of a dwarf of three hundred years.

That's why young Terrick didn't understand what Phoenix meant. That means my image of being handsome and upright hasn't been ruined?Carl thought of this and couldn't help but feel sorry for Phoenix, "I hope I don't blame the fat in the ice cube." And deep in the forest, the Phoenix bird's eyes burned with rage as they were frozen in ice.

"Trek, how long will we have to walk to Anke City, Moscow?"

"When I came out, it took about three days to get here. ”

"Then let's hurry. ”

Picking up Phoenix and carrying it into their arms, Carl and Trek began to speed to the city of Anko, Moscow.

Following

Phoenix flies in the morning sun, facing the cool forest breeze, and is free. Karl picked up the cold, clear water by the river and washed away the tiredness from his face. Looking up at the clear stream that flowed down from the cliff, Carl was a little nostalgic for the days when Daddy Dead took him to the stream to catch fish. At that time, he was really carefree, although the dead ghost father was not serious, and he often went away for a long time and did not return home, but the touch he brought to himself was something that Carl could not forget in his life.

"Brother Karl, it's time for us to go. Terrick's shout pulls Carl back from his memories and throws a pebble down the stream, where Carl grabs the package and jumps across the stream.

Karl walked side by side with Terek, "Brother Terrick, you didn't just invite me to Anke City in Moscow to invite me to a microbar? ”

Terrick scratched his hair, a little embarrassed, "Brother Carl, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that things are more important, so I'll tell you about them when I think of the city of Anke Moscow. ”

"In that case, then I won't embarrass you, Brother Terrick. Let's hurry. ”

Next, Karl, Trek and Phoenix climbed several high mountains, and finally reached the vicinity of the city of Anke in Moscow a day later.

Approaching the city of Anke in Moscow, Karl clearly felt that the atmosphere and environment around him had changed a lot.

The lush forests began to sparse as if by magic. There are several rugged mountain roads scattered between the rocky hills. After leaving the forest and stepping into the boulder forest, Carl felt a fiery breath hit his face.

Trek, who climbed up to a boulder, sensed Karl's puzzled gaze and explained, "That's a gift from the great Muradin, and the soul furnace inside Mount Batu is burning forever, which is why the trees here are so scarce, and the air between the boulders becomes hot. With that, Terek tossed Karl two blue gems from his bosom, "This is the Nakri Gem, those greedy and cunning goblins say they can keep their body warm." I didn't even feel anything on my body, and those filthy goblins knew to deceive us. ”

Carl took the Nacle gem and cooled it, and the heat around his body went away. "One is enough, and she likes it. The Nakri sapphire flew towards Trek in a beautiful arc in the air, "Who said people don't need it, people are ladies, and ladies deserve beautiful gems." As the Naclei sapphire was about to fall into Terric's hand, Phoenix, who was dancing happily on the side, snatched it up and landed on a boulder, admiring it in self-indulgence.

"Hey, Brother Terek, why are you so disgusted with goblins, aren't they of the same origin as you?" asked Carl and Trek curiously as they walked up Mount Batuu.

In Trek's description, goblins are a greedy and cunning race, although in Karl's mind, goblins do. But when it comes to the origin of goblins, they were indeed created by the dwarven god Muradin, just like the dwarves. However, unlike the dwarves, after creating the goblins, the main dwarven god Muradin was not satisfied with his creation, so he gave up the goblins, and the dwarven god Abaso, the greedy dwarven god in the dwarven god lineage, accepted the goblins. Under the influence of Abaso, the originally kind goblins began to become greedy and cunning.

Later, Muradin created the dwarven race. Although the dwarves have a resolute personality and are not good at words. However, due to the same reason for the creation of Muradin, and the flaws of the dwarves' personalities, the dwarves did not trust other races, so they only had dealings with goblins in business, and the relationship between the two races was relatively harmonious.

But Terike curses goblins directly in front of another race, which is not in line with the character of a dwarf, and a dwarf will never be rude to an ally or a friend.

"Because, I was deceived by goblins. A few years ago, I once dug up a beautiful gem, because I didn't know it, and it happened that the goblin caravan came to the city of Anko in Moscow, so I took the gem and went to identify it. I didn't expect that abominable goblin to deceive me by saying it was an ordinary gem, and then he took those two Nakri sapphires and exchanged them with me. What I didn't expect was that in our later trade with the goblin, the goblin actually took out my gem in exchange for three hundred barrels of dark ale. It wasn't until that time that I knew that the gem was actually the Heart of the Earth. Oh, God Muradin, I really have never seen such cunning and greedy goblins. ”

Looking at Terrick with a sad and angry face, Carl couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Isn't it because you're too stupid?" Of course, Carl didn't say anything.

I saw that Carl also bent down and patted Treek's shoulder with a look of regret, "Good brother, when I see that goblin one day, I will definitely teach you a good lesson." Do you remember where you found the Heart of the Earth?"

Terrick didn't notice the change in Carl's expression at all. Oh, Lady Luck is on top, I really want to kiss your toes now, I didn't expect you to be so kind to me. Heart of the Earth, I didn't expect to find the Heart of the Earth in Mount Batu. Then the Dimensional Heart will definitely appear there. Oh, I see, it must have been because of the dragon Alexnack that made the Heart of the Plane appear in the Central Mountains.

In each plane, there will be a gem that represents the origin of the plane, and as long as you obtain this gem, you will be able to master the plane. Of course, the more perfect the plane, the more difficult it is to control the heart of the plane, and many big people who have planes only have half planes or planes with small planes. Legend has it that a lucky man once obtained the broken but intact plane heart, and relied on this plane to successfully comprehend the law of the wind, and this person is the Duke of the Wind Shivin Curell, the owner of the largest mage in the main plane, Taai Gerosin.

When Trek mentions the Heart of Earth, Karl can't hold back his excitement. If you can find the heart of the main plane, even if you can't grasp it, as long as you can stay by the side for a long time, then your comprehension of the law will be greatly accelerated.

"Oh, I still remember that place, it's still fresh in my memory. It's just that the kingdom has sent people to explore several times before and after, but they haven't found the heart of the earth again, let alone the heart of the plane. Terike walked and suddenly noticed that Carl hadn't followed, "Brother Carl, this road is more difficult to walk, it's better for you to keep up with me." Terrick turned his head to see Carl standing where he was, reminding as he walked towards him.

When Terrick walked up to Cal, he found that Karl was bloodless and seemed to have received some great blow. "Brother Carl, Brother Carl!" Trek called out to Carl as he stood in front of him, but Carl was unmoved, and his eyes lost their sparkle.

"Phoenix, what's wrong with Brother Carl. Isn't it that Naclery sapphire is useless, the Karl brothers can't stand the heat here. Terike was frightened by Carl's appearance and hurriedly shouted to Phoenix, who was flying in mid-air.

"Oh, poor Carl, I didn't expect to be hit like this. Phoenix gloated and flew over Carl's head, and a blazing flame erupted from Phoenix's beak to Carl's hair.

"Ah, blazing, blazing, blazing, blazing. Carl jumped and slapped his head, and after finally extinguishing the fire on his head, Carl saw Terrick looking at him in disbelief, and then thought of the fire on his head, Carl immediately shouted loudly: "Fatney, I won't roast you today, I am your son." With that, several water dragon bullets flew out of Carl's hand and shot at Phoenix, who was flying freely in the air.

While Karl was fighting with Phoenix, not far in front of them, the dwarven Bard Brutehammer rode the Iron Rock Boar and led the dwarven Bighorn cavalry towards Cal at full speed.
