The dwarven king Ulantuk personally came forward to welcome Arthur and the others.

Ulantuk had a curly red beard and a large red nose, and if it weren't for the golden crown on his head, no one would have thought that this unsightly dwarf was actually the dwarven king.

The dwarves were sincere and enthusiastic about their friends, and because of Turutuk, and perhaps the 200,000 gold coins, the dwarven king held a special welcome banquet for Arthur and the others, and brought out the best wine and meat of the dwarves to entertain them.

God is fair, and the dwarves' talent for cooking and brewing is very different from their skill in forging and technology. With the exception of a barbecue that doesn't know what animal meat is not bad, most of the other food is black. As for the dwarven wine, it is slightly better than the orc wine, and there is still a big gap between it and the wine made by the human race.

Arthur and Joan's space equipment was filled with a lot of the best spirits purchased in the Kingdom of Holo, and because of the dwarf king's enthusiasm, they took out most of it on the spot to offer it to the dwarf king.

Wine is the most popular gift for dwarves, and the dwarf king excitedly took Arthur and Joan's hands, "You are our dwarves' true friends, welcome to stay in our kingdom for a while longer!"

This is what Arthur was waiting for, and the welcome banquet was so drunk that Arthur and Joan were drunk.

Arthur woke up the next day to find himself in a cave room. The dwarven houses are all caves, with only a door and a small window on the front.

Arthur's room had a living room in addition to his bedroom, and it was outside through the living room door, although it was still a cave outside.

Arthur came out of the room only to find that the place where he lived was supposed to be the embassy area specially prepared by the dwarves for foreigners, and the house and the furniture inside were much larger than those used by ordinary dwarven families.

Seeing Arthur come out of the room, a young dwarf who had been waiting outside took the initiative to come over, "Mr. Arthur, you are awake, I am Gigi, the king's specially assigned guide for several Terran friends, you can call me Jiji." If you have any needs during your stay in the Kingdom, you can tell me and I will help you solve them. ”

"What about my friends?"

"None of them have woken up yet, and each of you has a separate room. ”

"Where's Toruń?"

"Torun is back to his house first, let me give you a message when he leaves, and he will be back soon. ”

Arthur stretched a big waist and smiled knowingly, from today onwards he didn't have to worry about the Empire and the Church hunting him for the time being.

Arthur: They officially settled in the Dwarven Kingdom. Even Arnold, who had planned to send Arthur and them back to return, stayed behind for the time being.

For the Gruul sent a message to Arthur not to leave the dwarven kingdom for the time being. Ever since Arthur and the others left the fortress, there have been orcs outside the fortress who have been constantly watching day and night, naturally waiting for Arthur to go out. Even if Arnold goes out, these orcs will naturally not let go. In addition, it is far safer than the Necromantic Heights, and neither the power of the Church nor the Empire can reach into the Earth-Furnace Castle.

......

Orc Temple.

Leon sat cross-legged on a boulder at the edge of a cliff with an abyss beneath it.

The cold wind on the top of the mountain howled, and from the beginning of the morning sun to the setting sun, Leon sat motionless on the stone with a faint golden light covering his body.

If someone passes by and glances at it, they won't see anything unusual, but they don't realize that Leon's vindictive energy has been going on for a day. If it was on the battlefield, it would mean that Leon would be able to fight for a day in a row with this level of fighting energy.

The Orc Temple's cultivation secret method allowed Leon's fighting spirit to increase rapidly while his control became more nuanced. This is also an important reason why the disciples who came out of the temple are far superior to the martial artists of the same level.

When the sun set and night came, Leon finished his day's cultivation and stood up from the boulder. The days in the temple were simple and pure, he forgot about revenge, forgot about the territory on the border, blocked almost all news from the outside world, and only spent it in cultivation and rapid ascension day after day.

At a long table in the side hall, seven or eight young orcs were sitting together eating.

These young orcs are all disciples recruited by the temple in recent years, and like Leon, they all came here to eat after a full day of cultivation, and there is no one here who does not work hard.

Leon, as the most junior disciple, sat on the outermost side of the long table and bowed his head to eat, and the content of the whispered chatter of the senior brothers next to him naturally came to his ears.

"The chief high priest's mood doesn't seem to be very good in the past two days, let's be diligent in our cultivation these days, don't touch his moldy head. A slightly older Tiger orc reminded everyone casually.

"You don't know yet, I heard that the high priest's favorite granddaughter was captured by a Terran named Arthur some time ago, and the Holy Spirit Crane paid 300,000 gold coins to ransom her. "A demon ape orc who seems to know something inside is introduced to everyone as news.

The sudden appearance of the name "Arthur" immediately attracted Leon's attention.

Someone next to him answered: "Arthur, I seem to have heard that he killed the son of the golden lion king Elliot, and now he has provoked the Holy Spirit Crane Clan, hasn't that damn Terran been caught yet?"

"No, he took the ransom and fled into the dwarven kingdom. The patriarch of the Holy Spirit Crane, Cang Yukong, issued a reward of 100,000 gold coins to the entire wasteland, and whoever can kill Arthur will not only get 100,000 gold coins, but also promise to marry his daughter Lingyu to him. ”

"I've heard of Lingyu, not to mention the favor of our chief high priest, it is the first beauty of our orcs, and it is said that it is very likely to become the queen of the next Eagle King. ”

The tiger orc whispered, "I'm afraid the heir of the Azure Eagle won't marry a woman who has been captured by the Terrans this time?"

The orcs of the Demon Ape Clan immediately answered, "It is because of this that the orcs of other tribes have a chance." Now the strongest warriors of many of the great tribes of the wasteland are rushing to the dwarven fortress of the Bronze Gate, vying to kill Arthur. Do you think we should also find a reason to go down the mountain and try our luck?"

Leon couldn't help but smile, "This Arthur, it's always troublesome everywhere!"

......

Alantis South City Hotel Street, in a private room on the second floor.

McGinn led the Ten Princesses to appear in front of Huey and Golly.

The tenth princess looked haggard, and since the new monarch ascended the throne, the status of the original concubines and princesses in the imperial palace has plummeted.

Concubine Qiongna and the Tenth Princess had already moved out of the original dormitory and moved to a deserted side courtyard in the corner of the imperial palace, and the monthly income of the imperial family was only one-tenth of the previous one.

If Grantham had thought of face and a little affection, these old concubines might have been able to live in the palace for the rest of their lives. However, the fate of these unmarried princesses has been determined, and they will only be designated by the emperor as a political tool for marriage to marry a certain nobleman or important minister in the court.

McGinn took the initiative to explain to Huey: "Our Clay family still has some influence in the underworld, but we have no access to the upper echelons of the church and the dragon scale guard, I thought that the tenth princess might have a source of information in this regard, so I brought her here. ”

"I can find a way to help you determine where Arthur and Joan are now, but you must agree to one condition. The tenth princess said with a firm gaze.

"You say. ”

"You're going to take me with you! I'll go with you to Arthur. ”

Huey and the others were stunned for a moment.
