According to the legend of this world, the gnome is a strange creature, about the size of dwarves and goblins, but very small.

Legend has it that they are excellent craftsmen, even more skilled than dwarves, and they have very clever brains, and many great inventors have appeared, such as many famous vehicles and ruins in this world, which are named after gnomes.

Legend has it that these very small creatures loved the sun so much that their houses would be built in beautiful places with peaceful surroundings. However, for many years, no living creature has seen them, and these gnomes disappeared from all parts of the world as if out of thin air thousands of years ago, leaving behind only those great buildings, inventions and their legends.

"So, gnomes are supposed to live on the ground, how can there be such a huge underground fortress?"

Sun Licheng was a little puzzled, listening to Clark's story, he preferred to believe that this was a surviving military facility of the Goblin Empire, rather than a dark lair built by peaceful and friendly gnomes.

"I don't know, anyway, my biggest dream as a kid was to take a ride on the famous dwarf airship. ”

Clark said.

"Has your wish come true?"

Caroline asked next to her, although she was a female ogre god of war, she was not very old, so she was full of curiosity about new things.

Clark shook his head and said, "The Orc Empire once had a dwarf airship that crashed before I even went to the imperial capital, so my dream has not yet come true. However, I've heard that there are still dwarf airships in some places, so be sure to take them if you have the chance. ”

"Okay, okay, let's go together. ”

Vina also slapped her face and said.

"Haven't you ever been on an airship and an ornithopter?"

Sun Licheng asked helplessly, although the gnomes were very well promoted, but from the perspective of this underground fortress, it was far worse than the civilization development of the Goblin Empire, and it was difficult for him to imagine how advanced the dwarf airship was, so there was some disdain in his tone.

"Cut, the ornithopters only have the ones with dog meat, and they don't mean anything at all. The flying carrier is also broken now, and it makes a loud noise in the sky as soon as it goes up, which is boring. ”

The two girls said in unison, and then glanced at Sun Licheng with a roll of his eyes, and the latter immediately retreated, Okay, the flying carrier is still lying on its stomach now, and it is estimated that if you want to repair it, you need Sun Licheng's flame power to rise by two levels in order to produce an alloy of sufficient strength.

After the discussion, Sun Licheng felt that there were many mysterious things in this underground fortress, and he could carefully check it when he left, as a rag king, he was very interested in picking up garbage.

Knowing the origin of this underground fortress, Sun Licheng and the others continued on the road, and after a while, they came to the deepest part of the fortress.

"Good boy, is the power of the dwarf so strong?"

Looking at the fortress in front of them, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and Sun Licheng unconsciously muttered.

The fortress was small, but it was built on a free-standing stone platform, and around it was a bottomless abyss that completely cut Sun Licheng where they were. At first glance, the fortress seems to grow out of thin air on a stone platform, completely integrated with the stone platform.

After some searching, Sun Licheng and the others did not find a bridge across the abyss, and they couldn't help but be very depressed.

"Let's rest for a while, and when we're done, we'll find a way to enter the fortress. ”

Seeing that the spirits of his wives were a little sluggish, Sun Licheng remembered that they had been in the underground for a long time, so he gave the order to rest.

This underground fortress has been abandoned for many years, all the woodwork has been almost completely weathered, and Clark wanted to find some firewood, which took a long time, and finally had to give up.

Fortunately, Sun Licheng's stomach is like a treasure trove, and in order to deal with emergencies, he still stores a lot of good things, such as the alcohol stove he made, and of course, he also has prepared wood in his stomach.

After a while, a warm bonfire burned in the underground fortress, and when Sun Licheng put the instant dry food into the basin on the bonfire, a unique smell of food filled the entire space.

"Dead man, why didn't you take out this kind of good thing earlier?"

Seeing that the food was slowly cooked, Caroline angrily twisted Sun Licheng's rib fork with her little hand, making him gasp and complain angrily. These days, they have been eating that kind of military rations that are difficult to swallow, but they didn't expect Sun Licheng to have such a good thing hidden in his stomach, how could he not make the female ogre angry.

"It hurts, it hurts, let go, I was wrong. ”

Sun Licheng pretended to be in pain while constantly begging for mercy, even if his nerves had been transformed by the Lord of the Stars, it was difficult for him to feel pain now due to ordinary injuries, but in the face of his wife, he still had to make a show and coax her to be happy.

Seeing Sun Licheng begging for mercy, Caroline let go of her hand angrily.

Only then did Sun Licheng explain that he had already prepared these foods, but after entering the Orc Empire, he suddenly thought of a key problem that he had missed, that is, underestimating the noses of the orcs.

As for the sensitivity to food smells, to be honest, orcs have a much stronger nose than goblins, especially the canine orcs, who can distinguish the special smell from many kilometers away. If Sun Licheng rashly made these foods for everyone in the wild, then the strong smell would soon attract the soldiers of the Orc Empire, and if his identity was revealed, his plan to find the fragments of Godhead would be in vain. It was only now, in this closed space, that Sun Licheng dared to take out the fragrant delicacy for everyone to eat.

"It's not like I can't help it. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Licheng spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

After listening to Sun Licheng's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that indeed, the quality of food has a lot to do with the smell, and the so-called color, flavor, and flavor are all this truth. But if those scents were discovered by the soldiers of the Orc Empire, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, so I couldn't help but nod my head in understanding.

Now that they knew the reason why Sun Licheng didn't dare to let everyone eat delicious food, and realized that it was not easy to eat such a meal in the Orc Empire, everyone became very serious, and after a while, the freshly made food was scavenged by everyone, and even the little Medusa Vina had already given up the so-called ladylike temperament and pulled it into her mouth.

There was no way, Sun Licheng could only make another pot, but he didn't expect to be wiped out by everyone again, just like that, until he ate the fourth pot, everyone ** their bulging stomachs, burped, and found a place to rest.

"Sun Licheng, what do you say is the reason that the dwarfs here will suddenly disappear?"

Before going to bed, Caroline asked softly while hugging Sun Licheng's neck, while on the other side, little Medusa Vina hugged Sun Licheng's back tightly.

Listening to the sound of the mechanical puppets constantly patrolling and walking, looking at the fortress of the black hole in the distance through the firelight, Sun Licheng gently patted his wife's body and said, "I don't know, but there must be a big conspiracy in this, and when we have a good rest, I will find a way to get in." After speaking, he sighed again: "There are too many secrets in this world, I always feel that I am being pushed forward by the wheel of fate, sometimes I think about it, I feel that I can't stand the two of you, and there will definitely be endless dangers with me." ”

As soon as Sun Licheng finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by Caroline's lips, and behind, Vena hugged him tighter.

Eight hours later, Mister Skillful woke up the sleeping crowd, and twelve mechanical golems were already on standby, the same one that had been struck by the necromancer had also been crudely repaired.

The radiant Sun Licheng looked at it and saw that everyone's spirits had recovered, so he led everyone to the side of the abyss again.

"Sun Licheng, how are we going to get over?"

Looking at the black fortress, Caroline asked.

Unexpectedly, Sun Licheng smiled evilly at her, and then said, "Fly over!"
