What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a valley of lush greenery, different from the distracting gray dead green in the misty mountains, here was a vibrant bright green, and the vigorous breath of life came to the face. Wildflowers of all colors bloom on the roadside, colorful butterflies flutter in the air, and the sober air mixed with the fragrance of flowers pours into the nostrils, which makes people feel refreshed.

"It's beautiful!" Agale took a deep breath and exhaled.

The dwarf Lori held her head high and said proudly:

"Of course, this is the home of the dwarves! Under the leadership of the great Dwarven King Thorin Oak Shield, we will be on our way to an even more glorious future! ”

Qin Fen's heart moved, and he said, "Thorin Oak Shield? Is it the king of the mountain? ”

"It turns out that the prestige of my king has already spread to the human world?" Dwarf Lori glanced at Qin Fen in surprise, then raised her neck and snorted proudly, "Even if you still have a little knowledge, that's right, that's our dwarf king." ”

Everyone looked at each other in disarray, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Charles there, Bilbo. Baggins is dying, which means that in the near future, the drama of the Fellowship of the Ring will begin. What are you a dwarf king out to make a fuss about?

In the prequels to the Lord of the Rings, there is the Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of Smaug, in which the Dwarven King Thorin is mentioned. It is said that this man is resourceful and arrogant, and has a family mission to conquer the dwarven kingdom of Erpol, similar to Shakespeare's tragic prince. But this man must be dead......

At this moment, everyone was still thinking, but the scene they saw in front of them made people can't help but pause for breath. The scene in front of me is simply ingenious.

The dwarf Lori led the way and entered a cliff valley, where there were cliffs on three sides, and the water flow crossed through the middle, the terrain was very high, and on the surrounding cliffs, there were arrowroot vines with thick arms, hanging on the cliffs one by one. I don't know what kind of vine it is, but now it's autumn, but there are still some small flowers blooming on the vine, with different colors, it looks like a fairyland on earth.

At this moment, the sunset is obliquely shining on the water, and the golden flowing water surface is sparkling, which is extremely moving. There are large and small caves on the cliffs, some of which exist alone, some of which stretch out into one face, some of which are low, and even have man-made stone steps.

It feels like entering a glorious lost civilization, and from time to time you can see breathtaking bronze objects.

Ai Jia asked puzzled:

"The dwarves have become so skilled? It's truly breathtaking! ”

With such a boast, the dwarf Lori was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not, this place was occupied by a group of goblins a long time ago...... Later, under the leadership of the Dwarven King, we regained our lost homeland, well, yes, that's it! ”

“……”

Understand. No one can say that they are bad, whether they are raising a butcher's knife to kill them all or committing genocide, they have to give them a high-sounding reason. Just like the invasion of the Sakura Country back then, wasn't it also under the banner of a prosperous East Asian co-prosperity sphere......

In addition to the bronze buildings attached to the caves, there is also a large complex of buildings scattered on the sunny slope of the valley. Unlike the domed Gothic buildings of the Hobbits, these buildings have a mix of East and West, with square houses, cornices and corridors on both sides, and many houses with yellow, orange, and orange corn, fiery red peppers, and pickled smoked fish and dried meat hanging in front of the doors.

In Western mythology and legend, the dwarves are based on a race from Norse mythology: the gnomes. It is a creature created by the Titans, also known as the Deep Elves, known as the "Forge Man". It is characterized by a stout body, rough skin and thick flesh, men generally have a large gray or red beard, love to drink, are good at using tomahawks and war hammers, and have strong hands-on practical ability. In terms of personality, he is much more irritable than the hobbit anyway.

At this moment, Qin Fen and his group were "escorted" into the city, and the dwarves working on the side of the road suddenly stopped what they were doing and watched curiously. They are about the same height as Guo Xiaosi, but no matter how young or old, they all have bucket waists, no shoes under their feet, and a thick layer of hard cocoons on the soles of their feet.

Once there is a crack somewhere, the surface is pasted with banana leaves and loess, and the place where the loess is detached reveals the supporting wooden sticks inside, which look like ribs about to decay, creating a primitive and mysterious atmosphere.

The little houses with steeples were haphazardly built, but in the center there was a large clearing in which a large stone totem was erected in the shape of a stout dwarf with a bearded face. The dwarf was still holding a glass of rum in his hand, and he was cute and slightly drunk. With the five short figures, and then the brain makes up for the shoulder to carry a pair of merchants, it is a living Wu Dalang who sells cooking cakes, which does not look very majestic, but makes people feel funny and interesting.

It was about dinner time, and in the open space in the village, many plainly dressed female dwarves walked around with water jugs on their backs, and smoke rose from many of the peasant households.

After seeing Qin Fen and them, these dwarves did not seem panicked, on the contrary, most of the dwarves also expressed joy and friendliness, at least there was no stinky drama such as smashing eggs and throwing vegetable leaves.

Qin Fen and his party were taken to the center of the square of the village, where other adventurers arrived first, among which the Sonic and Elven Shooters of the Rose Knights, as well as Murphy and others of the Sky Wolf Team were there, and when the two sides met, they each snorted coldly, which was regarded as a greeting.

In a short time, more than a dozen dwarven warriors in full bronze armor came to the square, surrounded by a tall dwarf with a dignified appearance, not angry, and majestic.

Qin Fen noticed that this dwarf was actually wearing ten rings of different colors on his hand, and he was obviously a wealthy master. Needless to say, this dwarf's status should be extremely high.

Usually this kind of negotiation is handled by adventurers with high charisma value, but at this moment, no one trusts anyone, and it seems that there has been some unpleasant things before, but no one has spoken.

"Stranger, why are you here?" The local tyrant dwarf at the head spoke, his tone sonorous and powerful, with a sense of calm.

In Middle-earth, dwarves belong to the camp of good order, as long as the hoe dances well, there is no corner that cannot be dug up.

So soon, some adventurers started to do the great business of "public relations".

Murphy stepped forward, first presented a small round mirror, polite and graceful, and attacked many small objects one after another, before finally stalking to the dwarven elder in front of him.

"Dear Elder Baal, we are travelers from afar, we strayed into the underground river, and were chased by monsters, so we accidentally entered here."

The old dwarf didn't raise his head, he lifted his eyes and let out a faint sigh, but his fingers moved slightly.

“……”

Everyone was speechless, who is this hot-tempered and upright dwarf? You're a vampire!

Helpless, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. I could only pinch my nose and pay a lot of tribute, and the old guy's face finally slowed down, grinning and showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and he laughed.

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other, we're brothers and sisters."

Foolish here! Everyone rolled their eyes and laughed.

After a while, the old dwarf had several barrels of inferior rum brought up, and invited the people who had come from afar to drink, which undoubtedly represented goodwill and closeness. Everyone also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, giggling and laughing.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a mission point that is exactly the same as the Charles, I don't know how many tasks can be taken in it, and I am alone, if I anger these dwarves and are expelled, how can I have a place to stand?

After a good drink, some misunderstandings were lightly revealed.

When night fell and a bonfire lit in the village, the werewolf scientist who had wandered around the 'wild area' turned around and said:

"This is Elbor, the legendary kingdom of the dwarves, who were once overrun by goblins after I don't know what happened. It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that the rising dwarven king Thorin regained his territory...... Prior to this, they lived in a westerly part of the Misty Mountains, not far from the Hobbits. And dwarves have a long lifespan, and many of them have dealt with humans from the outside world, so they don't seem curious or hostile. ”

Qin Fen nodded and said, "Very good, it seems that this is indeed a hidden mission point, but I don't know what kind of enemy I will encounter next." ”

The werewolf scientist continued:

"I just saw that some adventurers have already taken the initiative to contact the dwarven elder, and judging by their happy expressions, it seems that they have taken advantage of it. In addition, I have asked some children about the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation by dwarves...... It is said that if you go east and cross the canyon, you will reach a huge lake inhabited by evil monsters. The monster would use its tentacles to drag away and devour every creature that came near the lake. It is also said that in the west soars a legendary monster that crouches on the top of a cliff at dawn and dusk, devouring the flesh and body of anyone who passes by, devouring their soul and strength...... That's all I have to know about the suspicious information so far. ”

Qin Fen glanced at them and inhaled lightly. In these stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, there are a lot of amazing things that are faintly revealed......
