What appeared in front of Liu Ci was a dungeon of a large scale.

The hard rock has been hollowed out and cut into very small living areas, and the entire underground has almost been cut into an inverted bowl, and those stone houses that are smaller than ordinary human habitation are distributed under the "bowl".

Thanks to the underground dwellers with weapons in hand, Liu Ci figured out everything in front of him at once.

The soldiers were wearing chain mail and sharp weapons, but the tallest man was just over Liu Ci's waist - they were a bunch of dwarves!

Liu Ci quickly recalled in his mind the description of the dwarves in the materials.

Legend has it that they obtained the power of goblins, lived underground, were mostly enslaved by human forces, and were skilled in the manufacture of weapons, and had a low status.

Goblins, like the elves, have long been difficult to find on the mainland, and the dwarves who inherited the goblin forging technique are not as shrewd as the goblins, and they have no technology, but they end up being enslaved, which is simply a crime.

Liu Ci was now pointed at by a group of dwarven soldiers with weapons, and after remembering their origins, she didn't plan to do anything at all, so she quickly raised her hands and said, "Dwarf friends, I am just a traveler who accidentally intruded into your territory, and I have no ill will towards the dwarves. ”

The dwarves looked at her with a wary expression, unmoved by her words, not even the slightest change in their expressions.

Liu Ci felt strange in his heart, and repeated what he said again.

The spur language and the Xiyi language were all changed, and the dwarf soldiers watched her vigilance not ease for half a minute.

Liu Ci finally smiled bitterly, the language barrier is really a big problem. Who would have known that a group of dwarven tribes living in the territory of the Spur Empire, which is not small, could neither know Spur language nor understand the Xiyi language of their mainland counterparts.

The dwarf in the lead looked the strongest and well-dressed, holding an iron spear and gesturing at Liu Ci, and scolding a few times in his mouth, Liu Ci didn't understand a word.

However, Liu Ci understood the dwarf's analogy. To the effect that she should not resist and follow them to meet someone.

If Liu Ci wanted to resist, how could these dozen or so dwarves with iron spears be opponents. Although she had a bad temper, she was not unreasonable enough to come to the door and shout at others for no reason, so she had to temporarily follow them as the other party wanted, hoping to find a dwarf who could communicate with the interpreter.

The dwarven soldiers took Liu Ci to the city.

The streets here aren't too filthy, but they're by no means clean. Some of the low-rise houses along the street are shops, of which more than eighty percent are ironware shops, and only a few shops sell bread, barbecue and wine.

The dwarves on the street and the people in the shops all looked at Liu Ci with a look of wariness and curiosity in their eyes.

Liu Ci guessed that there should be few humans here, or even no human beings ever set foot here.

The iron shops that bloomed everywhere made the air in the dungeon carry an indescribable red hot airflow, no better than the dwarven residents who lived here all year round and were accustomed to showing their breasts, and Liu Ci, who was wearing winter clothes, sweated like rain after a while. The place where the dwarven soldiers took her was not far away, and Liu Ci was really relieved when she saw a building that was taller and larger than the other dwarf houses appear.

As soon as you step into the house, the stuffy air suddenly clears.

I saw a middle-aged dwarf in the center of the hall, the big horse golden sword sat in the first place in the center, a silver armor included his muscular body, a long sword was probably as tall as a middle-aged dwarf, and he was erected next to the seat, it didn't look like a sense of disobedience at all, but it made people feel that this dwarf was very strong.

"Who sent you, and how do you know where we live?"

After listening to the report of the dwarven soldiers, Liu Ci finally heard the familiar spur language from the middle-aged dwarf.

The other party's words were squeezed out one after another, and the spur language was very jerky.

Liu Ci repeated her statement again, but the middle-aged dwarf was not as easy to deceive as she imagined.

"Human, your cunning can't blind me, and if Klingra's location had been so easy to discover, my people would have lost their freedom long ago."

Seeing the middle-aged dwarf shaking his head solemnly, Liu Ci choked.

But she was only for traveling, and she didn't have a conspiracy against a group of underground residents, and in the face of the dwarves' questioning, she was not vain, so she found the goshawk and told the process of chasing it all the way out of curiosity.

The middle-aged dwarf's expression finally changed, "You're a magician?" ”

Except for the magician, the dwarves really couldn't think of anyone who had the ability to track the goshawks sent out by the tribe to hunt so far when the snow covered the mountain, and also touched the lair of their Klingra tribe.

Hearing that the middle-aged dwarf changed his title, Liu Ci knew in his heart, and did not deny whether she was a magician or not—anyway, she had cultivation and could pretend to be a sword master, and she could make a few cameo appearances as a mage with a talisman in her hand, and she would let which one was suitable play.

"Let's not talk about my identity, I just want to express that I don't have malicious intent."

Liu Ci emphasized this point again, in exchange for a wry smile from the middle-aged dwarf: "I believe the words of Your Excellency the Mage, there are no precious items worthy of the coveted by the barren Klingra tribe...... Unless your target is our Klingara tribe. Lay down your arms and retreat, this is a great faux pas to Your Excellency the Mage. ”

The middle-aged dwarf ordered the soldiers to stand down, and invited Liu Ci to take a seat, but Liu Ci repeatedly excused himself, and finally sat down on the left head under the master.

The middle-aged dwarf seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his vigilance was still there, but his face was much more relaxed: "Your Excellency Mage can follow the goshawk to the Klingra tribe, you are our guest, and you are the leader elected by the Klingra tribe, and you are also one of the few people of your own tribe who know human language, you can call me Reggie." ”

"Patriarch Reggie, you can also call me by my name, Liu Ci."

Liu Ci had a good attitude, and the middle-aged dwarf slowly let down his guard.

changed the goblin here, and probably went around with Liu Ci from beginning to end, so that Liu Ci couldn't hear a few words of truth. The dwarf clan is honest by nature, and without Liu Ci asking more, he can sell the origin of his clan in just a few words.

It turned out that this branch of dwarves came from the distant east of the Ruiyun Empire, hundreds of years ago the rise of the Ruiyun Empire invaded their homeland, and the Klingra dwarves, who did not want to be slaves, moved westward and trekked most of the magical continent on foot, and came to the Amster region in the extreme west.

It's barren, but it's vast and sparsely populated, and they built new dungeons according to the habits of the dwarves, because of the hidden location, the Klingara tribe rarely deals with humans unless they are forced to do so, and they have been hiding underground for hundreds of years without being exposed, and they are one of the very few dwarven tribes on the continent that have not been enslaved by humans.

This is the reason why most of the dwarves can't communicate with Liu Ci at all.

The vigilance of the leader of Reggie is, firstly, afraid that Liu Ci has other plans, and secondly, he is also weak-hearted. In the past few hundred years, when conditions permitted, they also tried their best to rescue enslaved dwarven compatriots from humans, and the leader of Reggie thought that Liu Ci had come to chase the fugitive slaves.

Liu Ci shook his head with a sigh after hearing this, "I am neither a nobleman, nor have I ever had the idea of enslaving other intelligent races, Patriarch Reggie can rest assured." But I'm curious, this neighborhood is very barren, and you don't have any contact with human society, how have you survived for hundreds of years? ”
