Chapter 11 Creating the Most Beautiful Jewelry
Adros, the king of the drunken capital, was welcomed into their cave by the dwarves with the highest respect, and took out their treasured wine for Adros to taste.
Adros did not refuse, and feasted with this human-like race, and listened to their stories about the past. The four elders next to him were the most noble of the dwarf clan, and when they knew that Adros was a god from outside the territory, they told the past of their clan through wine.
The dwarfs and the goblins are of similar origins, and they are both descendants of the brother of the god king Odin. The dwarfs are descended from Willy, while the goblins are descended from Faye. As for the founding gods of the two races, their power and lives have been taken away by the current god king Odin.
At the beginning, the first god Brishengbul, the second god Boer married the giantess Bestella, and gave birth to Odin, the god of power, Willy, the god of war, and Fei, the god of magic.
Together, they slain Ymir, the ancestor of giants, and seized the dominance of heaven and earth. The gods used Ymir's body to decorate the earth and the sky. Ymir's head became the sky, the brain marrow became clouds, his body became the earth, his blood became the ocean, his bones became mountains, and his hair became trees. When Yumir's body decays and grows maggots, these maggots become elves and gnomes. Ymir's eyebrows are used to create walls that enclose the atrium world.
Then Odin captured the flames of Muspelheim, turned them into stars, moons, and suns, and determined the movement of the seasons. And the gods took ash branches and made men, and elm branches made women. The male is called "Asker", and the female is called "Embra". Odin gives them life and soul, Willy gives them reason and movement, and Philip gives them feelings, appearance, and language. This is the ancestor of mankind.
This is the widely spread myth of the founding of this divine domain, which tells the origin of each race, most of which are true, except for the origin of dwarfs and goblins.
Odin used treacherous tricks to kill his two brothers, seized their divine power and divine position, and broke through to the main god in one step, and was on the same level as their parents. Then the two races, the dwarf and the elf, were born from the body of his dead brother.
The ancestors of the two races that were just born inherited the memories of those two gods, so naturally they would not have any good thoughts about Odin. And the god-king Odin, who originally planned to exterminate these two races directly, was stopped by his father Boole.
But Odin placed a curse on the two races, so that they would never see the sun. But since Bull has a preference for good-looking elves, he not only places their kingdom next to the gods, but also lifts their curse.
As for the dwarves, they are ugly, naturally they don't have such good treatment, they are next to the atrium world, ostracized by humans, bullied by giants.
The dwarfs who have been under oppression, if they hadn't mastered the art of forging later, gained the skills they relied on to survive, and were blessed by the gods, I am afraid that they would have been wiped out. But the gnomes also knew very well that no matter how powerful their forging skills were, they were only servants of the gods.
And now, the gods are already supporting the dwarves, allowing them to learn the skills of forging without distraction. Although the gnomes are honest, they are not stupid, especially the elders, and they also understand that when the dwarves' forging skills surpass them, it will be the day when the dwarves will be wiped out.
"Your Majesty, please help our gnomes to escape Odin's curse and live under the sun like other races. ”
After telling the grief of the gnome's past, the gnome elder Alphric pleaded with Adros that the passing exotic deity, His Majesty the Lord of the Underworld, would help them.
"Why should I help you?"
Adros held his glass and looked at the dwarf elders next to him with a smile, waiting for their answers.
Alflick, Bellin, Duhua, and Gehr, these four elders can be said to be the most powerful among the gnomes, and they are also the top blacksmiths, highly respected by the gnomes.
When they heard Adros's words, they were not surprised, but a hint of joy appeared on their faces. Finally, the four elders all bowed to the ground and said to Adros, "As long as His Majesty Hades is willing to help our dwarf clan and let us dwarf clan, we will always be your Majesty's faithful servants." ”
For the gnomes, they are actually on the brink of the most danger, and no god dares to risk offending the god king Odin and the thunder god Thor to protect them. As for the giants, they were not at peace with them by nature, so they never thought of taking refuge in them.
And now, a foreign god has arrived, and if he takes refuge in him, he can both solve their natural curse and be blessed, and these gnomes, without thinking too long, immediately agree.
Adros looked at these dwarfs quietly, their thoughts could be said to be exquisite, but Adros did not refuse them, and smiled faintly: "You all go to sleep, get up early tomorrow morning, this world will be different." ”
This was originally the purpose of Adros to find these dwarves, so naturally he would not refuse. These gnomes whose forging skills are even greater than those of the gods, and Adros values them very much. With them, the Divine Court he opened up in the future will no longer have to worry about weapons and armor.
Hearing Adros' promise, these dwarf elders were overjoyed, and hurriedly went to greet all the clansmen, let them go to sleep, and wait for the change that Adros said.
······
After nightfall, Adros spent a while alone in the gnome's cave tasting the wine made by the gnomes, which tasted better than the liquor made by the various gods he had drunk, and even the liquor he remembered.
However, this wine has a very special taste, which is bitterness, and this taste is probably the taste that dwarfs have been tasting since their birth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, and the sun was about to appear in the eastern sky, Adros took out the star scroll and threw it in the sky. Suddenly, the land of the dwarfs, a country mostly composed of caves and mineral veins, was shrouded in a boundless starry sky.
In the starry sky, the sun and the moon appeared above at the same time. Adros pointed to the sun in the sky, and suddenly from it, countless golden lights were released, which was the light of the sun god and one of the manifestations of the sun's power.
Every ray of sun divine light directly pierced the cave and shone on every dwarf. These gnomes have been deprived of their five senses by Adros by their divine powers, and they have fallen into the deepest sleep.
In their slumber, they could not feel any changes in the outside world, and even the earth-shaking changes in their bodies were unaware.
The gnomes slept so deeply and so well that early the next morning, they woke up one by one in an indescribable warmth.
When they woke up, they were stunned at first, and then let out a cry of joy one by one. For the cave above their heads was cracked, and the sun shone on them through the cracks in the cave.
However, they were supposed to be turned into stones, but at this time they did not change at all. On the contrary, the feeling of the sun shining on their bodies and the warmth shining into their hearts made them very excited.
Without any hesitation, the first thing all the gnomes do when they know their situation is to run outside and face the warm and beautiful sun. This was the most exciting day for the gnomes for generations, and even the last time they helped the fire god Loki finish crafting a few artifacts, they weren't as excited as they are now.
There were many gnomes, both men and women, stripped naked and danced rough in the sun. Adros looked at this scene and couldn't help but wonder, if he wasn't here, he would be going to stage an action blockbuster directly.
Although he has just arrived, he also knows that the dwarfs are very chaotic about this kind of thing between men and women, and often ignore the time, place and person, and want to do it when they think of it.
The four elders of the dwarf came to Adros's side, and although they were also excited, they did not forget the god next to them who allowed them to see the light of day.
Adros waved his hand, stopped them from thanking them, and said to them, "Needless to say, I have one thing to tell you to do. ”
Grand Elder Alphric immediately spoke: "Please let my God command, we will do our best to accomplish it, even if it costs us our lives." ”
The name of my god was learned from the rebels, the dwarves, among the dwarfs, and this was their name for Thor, the god of thunder.
Adros took out some drawings and handed them to them: "You don't have to pay with your lives, just do what you do best." You look at these drawings and combine them to create the most beautiful jewelry in the world. ”
The dwarf elder took Adros's drawings, looked at them one by one, and was amazed, he didn't expect that women's jewelry could be made like this.
For a long time, they have mainly made weapons, and occasionally some jewelry, but they have done it casually, not caring about delicate and beautiful. But judging from the drawings given by Adros, they found that the energy and difficulty required to create jewelry were not under the scope of creating artifacts.
Even the jewelry itself is the most dangerous artifact, and it has to take into account the attributes of beauty and charm.
After reading these drawings, Alflick suddenly said to Adros, "My god, we dwarf clan, will definitely pour all the strength of the whole clan into creating the most beautiful and powerful jewelry. ”
Adros chuckled and shook his head: "Strong or not, you can just do it yourself." But don't just build one, you can build as many as you can, and I'll probably use the rest in the future. ”
The more beautiful jewelry there is, the better, and there will always be a place for it, Adros thought.
