Chapter 388: Dwarven House
What is Discipline? The festival is used to feed the dogs.
Looking at such a large group of dwarves in front of him, with their eyes shining, their mouths tilted and their noses tilted, their whole bodies trembling, and their whole bodies trembling, Ling Chen wanted to roar...... Where's your festival?
Even the most calm and wise, the old patriarch who looked to be at least a few hundred years old, was also shaking his beard at this time, and came to him in a hurry, and his already short body was also leaning forward at least thirty degrees, and his burning gaze was like an old virgin who had been holding back for thirty years and suddenly saw a smooth fairy.
Just a few minutes ago, the group of dwarves were all vigilant and panicked and wanted to throw him out immediately, but now, Ling Chen was extremely sure that even if he took the initiative to leave, these dwarves would beg and pull to prevent him from leaving.
Looking at the reaction of this group of dwarves, Ling Chen couldn't say a word for a long time. Isn't it just a piece of Chiyang Xuanjin! As for such an exaggeration! You're dwarves! It's a dwarf with great intelligence and creativity!
"Humans from the outside world...... Ah no, a distinguished guest...... Ah no, no, no, no, no, our dwarves' closest friends. Allow me to welcome you once again. Your presence suddenly made this dim space as magnificent as a heavenly court. Please forgive me for my rudeness. Come with me, and I will take you myself to our most sacred temple at once. ”
The dwarven patriarch Di Luo said with his beard cocked, turned his body sideways, raised his arm and made a standard "please" movement, and the other dwarves also hurriedly got out of the way, and their fanatical gaze fell on Ling Chen without blinking, as if they were afraid that he would fly in the blink of an eye.
"That'...... There is the Laudiro Patriarch. Ling Chen opened his mouth, finally said a polite word, and then walked forward. He came here to find a jewel and the rest...... Forehead...... At least the dwarves' behavior of throwing them thousands of miles away because of a few stones is still good for him.
"You are our closest friend, please don't say such a thing." Delo said with a smile.
Ling Chen's whole body was shocked, and he glanced at Di Luo affectionately, and his face was thick.
The Patriarch Dilo personally led the way, and a large group of dwarves followed one by one, and more and more...... Hearing the human intrusion, the dwarves were first shocked and frightened, and then heard that he actually had seven-colored agate, empty phantom stones, and even Chiyang Xuanjin on his body, all of them were almost not crazy, and they couldn't immediately rush over and call their father, as for worrying, fearing, and curious, they had already thrown it away.
Walk through a long mountain tunnel and soon come to the end.
Every ten paces, two bright but soft lamps hang from the stone walls on either side, and the light is never affected in any way. At the end, there were two closed stone doors in blue and white, Ling Chen and Di Luo walked in the front, and when they got close to about three meters, the stone door opened automatically.
I'll go, this is actually ...... Induction door!
"Friend, please come in!"
When Ling Chen walked into the door, the stone door closed, and then quickly raised, Ling Chen found out......
This is actually an elevator!!
That's right! Lift!
Of course, there should be no electricity for living in this world, so the power of this elevator will not be electricity. But the start of this "elevator" was very gentle, it did not bring him any discomfort, and the ascent was also evenly accelerated, and after a few seconds, it was no longer even noticeable, and even the noise was slightly negligible...... It's not much worse than the most advanced elevator he's ever sat in in the real world.
Moreover, this elevator is extremely large, in addition to him and the Patriarch Dilo, there are also more than forty dwarves standing, judging from the size, there is no problem to stand another forty or fifty. With such a size and load, I don't know how much power it takes to drive. These skinny dwarves were able to accomplish such a masterpiece! It's completely comparable to modern technology.
And the premise is still in such a closed world.
After a long time of climbing, the "elevator" gradually stopped. Ling Chen roughly estimated the height of the ascent and came up with a number that shocked him...... At least more than 300 meters!
The elevator that can rise and fall down about 300 meters is an incomparably huge project even in the real world, not to mention the difficulty, and its wisdom content makes people simply amazed and impressed.
"Was this elevator built by you dwarves?" Ling Chen subconsciously asked in surprise, but after asking, he realized his gaffe...... Because it can be understood as a question of their dwarven abilities and intelligence.
"Yes." Di Luo didn't mind, but smiled proudly: "The wisdom of our dwarves is the most precious and proud treasure of our lives, and our wisdom is far more than what you see. If it weren't for the fact that we were in a world where we couldn't leave...... Alas, without saying that, welcome to the home of our dwarves. ”
The elevator stopped, and the stone door opened slowly...... From Di Luo's voice and sighs, Ling Chen could clearly hear that the dwarf didn't seem to be so willing to hide here so indefinitely. After all, it keeps them safe, but it also stifles the use of their wisdom...... still
There are a lot of other things.
The stone door was completely opened, and the sudden opening up of the world in front of him made Ling Chen stunned for a moment.
There is no need for lights, the space in front of you is bright, as if you have suddenly arrived in another world. One building after another appeared in front of Ling Chen, spreading all the way to the extreme of the line of sight...... The space is extremely vast, and this scale will not be a small city in the forgotten continent at all!
The dwarven houses are smaller and more different in style than those of humans. At a glance, there are no two identical buildings, their appearance is not gorgeous, but each one is exceptionally exquisitely built, both doors and windows, giving people an extremely fresh feeling. Soon, Ling Chen noticed that the materials of these buildings were all stone...... It's just stone.
"This is the home of our dwarves. Located at the top of a high mountain, it took a long time for our ancestors to renovate the top of the mountain, so that we dwarves have had their home for so many years. It's just that, due to the limitations of materials, our house can only be built so roughly, it should be much worse than your human house. Dilo said self-deprecatingly.
Here, it is the summit of the mountain next to the mountain giant. The dwarves who have disappeared for countless years are hiding here! Guarded by mountain giants, the only entrance to this place is hidden without a trace. It's no wonder they've never been found after they've been hidden.
Ling Chen shook his head and said sincerely, "No, your house will never be uglier than a human house, and you can make such an exquisite house with only stone...... It's a dwarf. ”
Listening to Ling Chen's unpretentious praise, the dwarves all showed a proud look on their faces, and their good impression of Ling Chen also quietly increased. Dwarves are a proud race that loves to be praised and affirmed for what they have done with their wisdom. Patriarch Diluo smiled and said, "Friend, please let me take you directly to the palace." But remember my words, there are many treasures left by our predecessors in the temple. Those are the things we cherish the most, the existence of faith in general. So, please don't touch anything inside unless you have our permission. Except for what our ancestors left behind, we can consider giving it to you if you are willing. ”
"Well, I won't touch anything in the temple without your permission." Ling Chen nodded.
"Welcome to our dwarven home, then."
Ling Chen's arrival caused a huge sensation in the dwarf clan, and the first dwarven ancestors who came here had already died, leaving only the ancestral teachings that could never step out of here. Therefore, it is inevitable that none of the dwarves who live here have ever seen anyone from the outside world...... However, when he heard that Ling Chen had the legendary Void Illusion Stone and Chiyang Xuanjin on his body, this sensation increased dozens of times in the blink of an eye.
It can be said that the entire dwarven clan has exploded.
Walking on the streets of the dwarves, watching groups of dwarves rushing madly, following behind without leaving an inch, waiting to witness the legendary Chiyang Xuanjin...... Ling Chen sighed again and again, the dwarven race's pursuit of high-grade materials was simply fanatical to the point of incorrigibility and incomprehension.
The final direct result is...... A frighteningly large procession of dwarves followed, including men and women, children who had just learned to walk, and old men who were on crutches and could not walk...... There are even pregnant women.
It was arguably the most sensational day for the dwarves. Even the most prestigious Divi patriarch was not capable of summoning so many people in a short period of time.
There were more and more dwarves, and he was stared at by countless fanatical eyes, and Ling Chen's walking posture was a little unnatural, and he even had a little impulse...... If he suddenly threw out the Chiyang Xuanjin, what an amazing scene would it cause...... If you don't do it, it will be earth-shattering, the ghosts will cry and the wolves will howl, and the blood will flow like a river......
"Patriarch Dilo, how many dwarves are there in the dwarf clan now?" Ling Chen asked in a low voice.
Such a question made the Patriarch Diluo a little gloomy: "At present, there are less than 30,000 dwarves in the whole clan. Over the centuries, the number of dwarves has declined rather than increased. Every year, a large number of dwarves are starved to death...... Alas, they all starved to death. ”
Ling Chen: "......"
Looking back at the dwarf people, these dwarves are not only short, but also thinner than the other, each of them is skinny and bone, only the head is large, and from a distance, it looks like a group of big-headed dolls. Suddenly, he thought of a puzzled self-talk from before the bleak moon: "It's strange, the dwarves obviously have short but stout bodies, why are these dwarves thinner than the other." ”
