Chapter Seventy-Two: Two Plans
Xiao Chen didn't take much precautions against Ansaldo, so he walked to the Governor's Mansion of Ansaldo with Luo Ling, Farrell and Sinclair.
Ansaldo playfully kept the dwarven army in the harbor, exposing them to the range of the Houyi's pneumatic cannon. Xiao Chen didn't really care about this kind of pledge, but at least Ansaldo did show a cooperative attitude.
In terms of strength, the entire dwarven kingdom is relatively weak among the major races, and in this era, they do not have a single sage. But no other country had ever intended to conquer them, because even if the Sage was trapped in the vast mountains of the dwarven kingdom, or in the intricate tunnels underground, it would be difficult for them to escape from the traps and machines that the dwarves excelled at. However, in the face-to-face battle of the strong, the dwarves have no advantage. Therefore, Xiao Chen was not worried about the danger of his few people entering the other party's governor's mansion. What's more, there is also the Houyi docked in the port, which is his greatest guarantee.
Walking into the dwarven harbor, you can feel that the houses of dwarven civilians are generally smaller than those of humans, except for those inns and shops used to entertain humans, most of the doors of ordinary people are shorter than Xiao Chen's height. But their roads are wide, so the whole of Crowell feels like a flat city.
But the Governor's Mansion in Ansaldo gave people a completely different feeling, this house was especially tall, even taller than the mansions of some human nobles that Xiao Chen had seen.
Farrell saw his doubts and explained: "The houses of dwarven nobles are generally very tall, perhaps because they are relatively short for humans, so as long as they have the ability, they especially like tall things. ”
But this kind of tallness was a little strange in Xiao Chen's eyes, because although the house was tall, the furnishings and size of the furniture were still arranged according to the needs of the dwarves. For example, in the corridor that Xiao Chen is walking through now, the paintings on the walls on both sides are hung at the height of his thighs and stomach, and in the living room in front of him, all the chairs are as low as small stools.
After Ansaldo came to the reception room, he asked the two attendants to carry a few large chairs that humans could sit on, and then invited Xiao Chen and the others to take their seats.
"Now it's just me and you, please tell me why you're here. Ansaldo said.
"I'm looking for you to make the magic tower of the Seven Towers and the Tower of Forging that has been handed down from the era of the Seven Towers. Xiao Chen said straight to the point, "I wonder if Governor Ansaldo has heard of it?"
"The Tower of Forging?" Ansaldo was a little puzzled, "I know that this magic tower, it is a very old magic tower, and it has not reappeared for thousands of years. But why are you asking me because of this? I don't know where this tower is. ”
Xiao Chen observed Ansaldo's performance, whether it was the fluctuation of his mental power or the expression on his face, it showed that he really didn't know where the Forging Tower was, "According to the clues we have inquired, this tower may be in the Dwarf Kingdom, and we suspect that the ancient ruins of the Dwarf Kingdom's legend that opened that glorious forging era are the Forging Tower itself." ”
"How is it possible? These are the relics left to us by the God of Forging! How can they have anything to do with the Tower of Forges. Ansaldo stood up from his chair in shock, "You're fighting the idea of the God's Ruins? God, you must be crazy, this is the most fundamental thing in the Dwarven Kingdom." How can it be seen by you outsiders?"
Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's why we're looking for you." ”
"No, it's impossible! Even if you kill me, I won't get involved in such a thing. You kill me, I'm just dead. But if it comes to helping humanity claim the sacred heritage of the Dwarven Kingdom, then my entire family will become traitors to the Dwarven Kingdom, and everything will be ruined. You know what? The key to the ruins is in the hands of only two people, one is the dwarven king, and the other is the high priest of the god of forging, neither of whom I can afford to mess with. My clan won't be against them. If you really want to force me, kill me now!" Ansaldo said very resolutely, and he looked at Xiao Chen with an unusually firm look from the way he looked before when he could negotiate anything.
Xiao Chen pinched his brows and decided to tell the other party part of the truth, and he told the other party about the awakening of the god of nature. He also told him that the Tower of China was determined to use all means to prevent the resurrection of the god of nature, including using the power of the tower of forging itself, "I heard that none of you dwarves believe in the god of nature, but all believe in the god of forging, and from this point of view, the awakening of the god of nature is also a bad thing for you, right?"
What's more, as long as he recovers the magic between heaven and earth, the magic forging you are good at will also become completely ineffective. ”
"The god of nature is a foreign god to us, and our affairs have nothing to do with him. But even if what you say is true, I shouldn't be involved in such a thing. In that case, whether the gods of nature are resurrected or not, and whether they do not regain their magic, my family will be miserable. Rather than that, I might as well wait for the final result. ”
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's think about it from another angle, attacking the God of Nature should be what the High Priest of the God of Forging is willing to see." When a living God comes before men, will anyone believe in you, a God who has never revealed his true form? I think that my interests and that of the high priest should be the same. ”
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Ansaldo said.
Xiao Chen said, "Since you have already said that the high priest has mastered the method of entering the relics of the gods, then find a way to arrange for me to meet with him." It is generally difficult for humans to enter the dwarf kingdom, because of their size, they can't even get in. I don't need you to do anything more dangerous, as long as you arrange for me to enter the Dwarven Kingdom through the normal path, and then pull a string for the Forge Temple. ”
"But I'm going to take a big risk in it, even if it does. I don't have any interest either. Ansaldo said.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly: "Then do you want me to talk about another plan?" The first step is to capture Crowell. In the second step, I control the plains, and in the third step, I begin to attack the underground part of the dwarven kingdom, and finally capture your capital, and then get your ruins. ”
"It's not like no one has ever fought the idea of a dwarven kingdom for so many years, but no one has ever actually implemented such a plan. Because in the underground tunnels, it is difficult for humans to even stand up straight, and only dwarves can fight there!"
Xiao Chen tapped his finger at Sinclair, who was sitting beside him, "What do you think of our dwarven warriors?"
