After half an hour of careful walking through the ancient city, the group finally came to a building that was obviously much more magnificent.

Well, the grandeur mainly refers to the fact that it stands against the mountains, and it is indeed much grander than the refugee camp behind it. But in the eyes of adventurers, the grade is similar to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and it is completely disdainful...... Clearly, the dwarves are not a race of extravagance and waste, or rather raunchy.

"Keep going."

At this time, the road under everyone's feet also looked very solemn, all paved with dark black stone slabs, piece by piece, as if soaring up to the heavens and the earth. The color is deep and deep, and walking on it is like walking in the night sky, which makes people feel a little awe-inspired.

Fortunately, the road is not long, and you will soon come to a huge platform halfway up the mountain. In the hazy darkness, the dwarven palace was a faint black shadow. Although this huge black shadow is majestic, it lacks a strong vitality in it. It's like the difference between the majestic tombs of a dynasty and the tall buildings of a bustling city.

The crowd sighed as they walked inside. Miss Yinzi suddenly sighed and said:

"There's something up ahead!"

At this time, everyone saw that there was a bronze sculpture standing in the middle of this platform, and the sculpture happened to block the passage leading to the palace behind, and when it came to more than 20 meters in front of the sculpture, there was an invisible pressure that excluded people, and it should be some kind of magic array.

The bronze sculpture is a lifelike dwarf, but it has been magnified nearly ten times and carved so meticulously that even the furrows and wrinkles on the face, the fiery red beard under the chin, and the folds of the skin are clearly visible. It holds a bronze hammer in its left hand and a shield in its right, its head held high, its gaze resolute, and it stares into the distance. There is a feeling of domineering side leakage at the fingers of the long whip, as far as the eye can see, and everything is in ashes.

As soon as everyone got closer, a huge invisible oppressive force oppressed them, and they were infected by that solemn expression, and even their hearts calmed down.

"Look, there's a stone tablet there." Agale said.

Underneath this sculpture, there is also a large monument. The monument looks like it has been corroded for a long time, and it has become crumbling, and the words on it can be vaguely recognized as a hieroglyph unique to dwarves, although everyone doesn't know it, but the dwarf Lori's eyes lit up, and she muttered:

"Here, Thorin. Oak Shield began his legendary life ......"

"He is the uncrowned king of our dwarven race......"

Obviously, this is a stone monument that praises virtue. The whole book is an exaggerated description of how the ancient dwarven kings rose, how they spread their fame throughout Middle-earth, and the major events they experienced in their lives. I believe that if it weren't for the limited space of the stele, maybe this would be a huge work with millions of words......

"We can't seem to get in, what should we do?" Sister Fangfang asked in a low voice, seeing that the treasure of the dwarf king was in front of her, she missed it with one kick at the door, and her heart was even more uncomfortable than a cat scratch, and she couldn't bear it!

"I think it's mainly this statue that is weird, why don't you blow it up?"

Regarding this violent and brainless proposal, Qin Fen shook his head very dryly and said:

"Do you believe that as long as we dare to wreak havoc, we will trigger traps in minutes, or will a giant beast attack? Don't forget, the Dwarves are known throughout Middle-earth for their 'Skilled Craftsmen'! ”

Hearing this, Sister Fangfang immediately wilted, and obediently slipped aside to draw a circle.

Qin Fen waited patiently, and finally waited for the dwarf Lori to finish reading the great achievements of his ancestors before he asked:

"Nami-chan, explorers like us love these ancient ruins the most. I wonder if there is a way for us to go in and get a glimpse of the dwarven king's glorious past? ”

Although in Qin Fen's eyes, dwarves actually look similar. But he can still recognize that some of the facial features of this ancient dwarf king statue are somewhat similar to the dwarf Lori that he picked up, and it is estimated that there is a blood relationship between the two.

This dwarf Lori grew up in the valley since she was a child, and she has never been in contact with the outside world, and the dwarves rarely bend their bowels and think carefully, so after Qin Fen put forward a "request", the dwarf Lori did not have the idea of refusing.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"Perhaps...... You don't have a special 'smell' on you. ”

"Taste?"

"That's right, the smell of our dwarves." The dwarf Lori said affirmatively, "Oh, I can't say it either, it's the smell anyway." ”

The smell here is obviously not literal, and is likely to refer to a certain temperament or trait. When everyone heard this, they were a little disappointed, and finally came to the door, but did they really have no chance to enter?

Just when everyone was disappointed, the dwarf Lori lowered her head and took the pocket on her waist, pulled out a bunch of bits and pieces from it, handed one of the mini hammers to Qin Fen, and said uncertainly:

"Why don't you try it with this hammer."

Qin Fen was speechless, but he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and walked inside. This time, he actually crossed the warning range of twenty meters! But before everyone could speak out happily, the eyes of the dwarf king statue suddenly flashed red, and Qin Fen suddenly felt a chill enveloping his body, obviously the hidden mechanisms around him were ready to attack.

He didn't dare to slack off, he held his breath, the muscles of his whole body were tense, his scalp was slightly numb, and he had secretly pinched an adrenal gland injection in his palm, just waiting for the situation to change, and immediately ran away.

After a long time, the statue of the dwarf king did not move, and finally the red light in his eyes disappeared, and the dull oppressive aura that shrouded the air also faded.

"Whew, I actually passed the test." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it's so old that the mechanism fails, or maybe the "Dwarf King" is too old and dizzy, and he actually fooled everyone like this. What exactly happened in this is unknown.

Passing around the statue, pushing open the dusty door, you will see a hall of grandeur and simplicity, topped by a huge crystal chandelier, the floor covered with Persian carpets, and the walls are frescoed. And what really attracts the attention of adventurers is the variety of weapons arranged in two rows side by side! Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, everything ~~

Although these weapons are covered with dust, and most of them have decayed, they can survive the obsolescence of time, and all of them are high-quality, and each one will make people's eyes shine brightly. Qin Fen was overjoyed, and reached out to grab an axe blade beside him with a cold light flickering, at least a silver-grade single-edged axe. But it's a pity that the watch gives a ruthless hint at this time:

"Picking up this weapon will be considered an enemy by all Dwarves, and will immediately trigger the Ancient Lore Trap here. Do you want to continue picking? Yes/No. ”

Qin Fen couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity." ”

It's nothing to be enemies with dwarves, Middle-earth is so big, and there are not dwarves everywhere. Brother took something and ran away, when the time comes, there is a vast sea of people, where are you going to chase it?

Although Qin Fen was not afraid of the dwarves' retaliation, but when the prompt of "Ancient Killing Mechanism" appeared, he couldn't help but weigh it - is it worth it to be in danger for a little profit?

It's obviously not worth it, I've just entered the palace, who knows how many treasures there are in the back, good steel has to be used on the blade! comforting himself like this, Qin Fen immediately directly selected no with an impassioned and death-defying momentum.

Isn't it just an axe, brother is not rare......

Others sighed repeatedly. For adventurers, such a journey of only watching but not grabbing is undoubtedly a kind of torture.

Sighing, Qin Fen suddenly caught a glimpse of the dwarf Lori reaching out and picking up a swarthy iron hammer on the weapon rack, and his little face was full of excitement.

Eyes rolled, and the mind was counted. Qin Fen had an amiable smile on his face and said:

"Nami-chan, would you like to have a meal that is even better than last night's pork stewed vermicelli?"

As soon as she mentioned eating, the dwarf Lori suddenly woke up from the worship of her ancestors, tilted her little head, and the chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice, and said:

"I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Qin Fen suddenly had the embarrassment of transforming into a lewd uncle who took little Lori to watch the goldfish, but fortunately, this guy was very thick-skinned, and he just smiled and said step by step:

"It's okay to have a big meal, but you'll need to help me get some weapons we can use."

“……”

The dwarf Lori suddenly fell into a dilemma, she hesitated for a moment before stretching out two fat fingers and said:

"Not one meal, at least three! And it has to be a big meal like last night, pancake rolls and green onions, I love it! ”

“…… Deal! ”

Dwarven Lori can't use storage space, so she has a limited amount of weight. In this way, everyone must carefully choose the weapons that are eye-catching. Otherwise, there is a storage space, and it is possible to empty this place! Of course, there is no sin in swimming in the sea of ideas......

After all, everyone has been able to reach here unimpeded through the cracks opened by the mountain after the avalanche, and although they encounter cave bats or disgusting giant insects, the difficulty of exploration is obviously not as difficult as entering an ancient ruin. Therefore, it is natural that you can't get a big reward.

After figuring out this, Qin Fen didn't feel depressed, but continued to walk inside with anticipation. As long as you have a good relationship with the dwarf Lori, even if you can't eat braised pork, it's always okay to drink a bowl of miso soup...... As long as there is a harvest, it is acceptable.
