Chapter 13: An Unexpected Plot
The giants walked down from the sacred mountain in a menacing manner, and no one noticed the seven dwarfs who were limp on the ground.
Then the gods flew down, not even noticing the seven little "gnomes" who had begun to doubt life and collapsed their worldview.
"Elder Jack-of-all-trades, why did the gods and giants come together, aren't they mortal enemies?"
The yellow-haired young dwarf asked the white-haired, balding elder.
"Sleepy worm, I can't answer your question, but looking at the direction they're heading, it seems like they're heading in the direction of our Nibelungen country?"
The white-haired jack-of-all-trades couldn't figure out why giants and gods could come together.
But the other dwarf, who was called a shy ghost, said, "Shall we go up the mountain?" After all, so many gods have already left? ”
"Why don't we follow and see where the giants and the gods go?"
After resting for a while, the dwarves came to an agreement and pulled up the frightened swift bird (in fact, the ostrich) from the ground.
The dwarves pushed and drove the birds over and ran back the way they came.
But when the fast-moving giants and the gods flying on Pegasus in the sky rushed to the ground entrance of the Nibelungen Realm at a speed far greater than the seven dwarfs could have imagined.
The seven dwarfs had just left the main peak of the temple between the mountains, and they had to travel a long way to get out of the forest and follow the Rhine all the way back to the underground kingdom of the Nibelungen.
The gods and giants moved quickly, and they endured the "darkness and dampness" of the cave and entered the underground space outside the dungeon, which was still very wide compared to the giants and gods.
All the Nibelungens they met along the way would be knocked unconscious by them, because according to the Vulcan God's advice, although they only went to the gnome to find the one who dared to get their hands on the gold, they also tried to keep their actions tight.
It took more than half an hour to advance in the wide and dark cavern before he finally reached the periphery of the underground palace at the foot of the active volcano.
It's not just the scattered Nibelungen villages that live underground, with hordes of miners and blacksmiths busy in the relatively shallow geographical space.
And this group of tall beings can no longer easily hide their hiding.
The dwarves who discovered this group of huge creatures were very alarmed, and they didn't think much about this panic and the gods, not thinking that they might not be panicked by the sudden arrival of this group of visitors.
"Grab one and ask!"
After the God King ordered, the Fire God took a dwarf out and looked at it playfully, "Let me ask, tell me...... What you say to our satisfaction, you will be the king of the Nibelungen from now on. ”
The dwarf was blind, but his bucket-thick nerves actually reacted to a magical circuit.
"How do you know something happened to the Nibelungen?"
This answer made all the gods and giants change their faces, and the giant Fafn and the giant Fasot looked at the god-king, and the face of the god of fire was indeed the same.
The god of fire was overjoyed, knowing that the dwarf lord had done the work of stealing the magic gold, and asked with a smile: "Where is Alberich, the king of your dwarves, and where is the magic gold he stole?" ”
As he said this, the Vulcan's gaze did not linger on the dwarf at all, his gaze wandered over the faces of the god-king and the two giant leaders as if he were invited.
But the frightened dwarf's answer was hilarious, and his answer was completely beyond what the Vulcan Logg had hoped for.
"Alberich and Mime made a ring out of Rhine gold, a helmet, and then a dragon...... So he killed Alberich and Mimei...... Then he killed all the dwarves he saw...... Were you approached by the Know-It-All elders to help you get revenge? ”
The gods didn't expect that there were so many things here for a while, and they were a little dazed, and the smile on the face of the fire god suddenly froze.
"What know-it-all?"
After a period of nervousness, the dwarf slowly recovered, and spoke more and more smoothly, "The seven elders of our Nibelungen have gone to your gods to make our decisions for us...... Didn't they find you to kill the dragon? ”
The fire god Log's eyes flickered, and his eyes passed over the thunder god Dangna, who had a tendon in his brain, and the hot-blooded and angry god of light, Flo, looked directly at the god king.
The god king gave his brother a faint look in his one-eyed eyes, and the fire god Logg blinked faintly.
"Yes, now that the ring and helmet have been snatched by the dragon, you tell us where the dragon is?"
The nervous dwarf was completely accustomed to being carried in mid-air to communicate with the gods, although the beautiful god could not open his eyes when the wind blew when he spoke, and his ears buzzed loudly.
His state of mind slowly returned to normal, and he wiped his face with sweat and slag and mud with his hands, "The dragon flew away, and he flew away after robbing our king's treasury. ”
"Flew away?"
The gods and giants looked at each other, and some did not expect that things had changed so much......
"yes, flew away...... That dragon is so big! Much taller than your gods......"
The dwarf was still excitedly describing the dragon to the god of fire who was carrying him, but in fact he had never seen it, and he had been dancing for a long time without explaining it.
Vulcan Logge was no longer interested in listening to this guy who couldn't say anything, and this excited little dwarf was thrown out by Vulcan Logg.
A surprisingly fast phantom slammed into the wall on the side, making a "snap" sound, and the strong body could not contain the flesh and blood of the impact, and with a "poof" sound, a piece of blood red about three meters in diameter was sprayed on the wall.
As if he had done something very ordinary, he took a deep breath and looked back at these dwarves whose faces were covered in darkness and sweat flowing out of the mudslide ravines, and smiled.
"Who of you knows where that dragon is?"
Dwarves, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all swept their eyes over the indescribable mass that stayed on the wall.
Then he didn't dare to look at the smiling fire god Logg again, and suddenly scattered and fled without any conversation.
The "whew" disappeared all at once.
It was only at this time that the gods and giants found that there were many paths on the ground that were suitable for the diminutive bodies of the dwarfs who were up to their ankle bones.
The god of fire didn't show any embarrassment, just looked back at the giant brother, "Did he just say that the dragon was 'whew' and sprayed all the gnomes who knew about it to death?" ”
Fasot, the king of giants, and his younger brother Fafnir looked at each other and nodded.
Vulcan turned around and put his left hand to his mouth in front of the empty hallway, and let out a soft "whew".
A scorching, golden-red flame erupted from his mouth to the ground, and the flames spread instantly, burning into the path one by one.
The dwarves who had just escaped for a short time had apparently not escaped the punishment of the fire god, and from the unknown corner came a burst of cries.
For a moment, all the gods and giants saw before their eyes was a fiery red.
