Section 51 Slaves
The perimeter of the castle is littered with traces of the fire, and some of the stones are known to have turned into flowing lava, and when cooled, they look like Renaissance Italian stepped gardens.
It's a pity that there are no flowers and trees in the garden, and it's daunting to be bare.
The entire castle walls appear intact, only the gates are visibly damaged, and a team of dwarves is dismantling.
"Master Sailun, it doesn't seem that your city has suffered any losses due to the fusion of worlds?" Qi Yuan looked at the buildings that were generally intact, and it was very strange.
With his hands behind his back, Seren kept nodding to the dwarves who greeted him in return: "This is the credit of the Lost Lock, all you see now is the inner fortress of the Quenched Sword Castle, and the Lost Lock protects it." ”
Originally, the castle was built around an extinct crater, which had become a large crater over the years, and turned into a deep pool with the accumulation of rainfall.
The dwarves built a two-storey city above and below ground, where the upper class lived and the lower class worked. The entire Quenjian Fort had a permanent population of more than 10,000 before the disaster, and it had a resounding reputation throughout the continent relying on handicrafts, weapons and armor manufacturing, which was not only limited to the quality and price of local products, but also the Quenjian Fort was a rare civilized city - there were no slaves here!
At present, the population of Quenching Sword Fort has decreased dramatically, with less than 2,000 people left, mainly because the capacity of the inner fort originally used for military defense is limited, and when the world merges, the residents who have not been able to arrange to enter the inner fort are also like Qi Yuan, and they are separated with the separation of various parts of the city, and then the Zoroastrian hidden among the residents launched a riot, although the inner fort successfully eliminated the mob, the residents of the outer city were finally used as sacrifices to summon the fire soul giants.
Qi Yuan listened to the explanation, and couldn't help but be curious about the misty lock: "I saw the fire soul giant blocked in the distance before, and there will be colorful rays attacking him from time to time, is it also the function of the misty lock?"
"Of course, but the hero who blocked the fire soul giant was Wufuga, and if he was stepped on directly by that big guy, the lock of the Quenching Sword Castle might not be able to withstand it. Seren pointed to the dwarf next to him: "Wufuga is a Legendary-level shield guard, with the resistance and soul protection of the blessing of the Lost Lock, that big guy can't do anything about him!"
Qi Yuan was really shocked, Wu Fujia was less than one meter three tall in front of him, but he was able to stop the fire soul giant who was at least twenty stories tall: "I'm really sorry, I was really disrespectful just now!"
Wu Fujia, who was being held, raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Hurry up and cut off the abomination, don't think that you can get mixed up with good words......"
"But I haven't had any contact with Abomination, even the Fire Soul Giant was hunted down by him......" Qi Yuan felt strange, he really hadn't been in contact with Abomination, the smell of Abomination that Wufuga said could only be that he was contaminated in the confrontation with those Zoroastrians, otherwise it was a flesh puppet and a flesh stalker.
However, there are not too many people who have had similar experiences, and even the dwarves are actually not lacking in this kind of combat contact, and I don't see Wufga always emphasizing this issue.
"By the way, those Zoroastrian cult cultists have been chasing me for a long time, and I have tried to find the mark they have placed on me, but to no avail, including the later fire soul giant clones, they have been able to chase me all the time. Qi Yuan remembered this henchman, although the person who marked him and the monster summoned by that person were dead, it was difficult to ensure that other Zoroastrians could not sense that mark.
Seren was equally puzzled by this: "I checked it while you were still asleep, and I didn't find the mark you said?"
"But whether I teleport or flash, I'll be tracked!"
"Maybe it's the magic effect given by the Dream Chrysalis?" Syren guessed from experience, "Ever since the Dream Chrysalis stole power, these abomination derivatives have become more and more weird!"
The inner fort is indeed small, the circle under the city wall is vacated as a fast motorized passage, and directly opposite the city gate is a small square, flanked by stone barracks, a road divides the barracks into two areas, the left and right, and at the end of the road is a round tower fortress made of black marble.
It looked like he had come to the location where he was filming a medieval European knight film, and Qi Yuan felt that a sense of absurdity enveloped him, and everything around him was unreal.
There were no lights in the interior of the castle, and the windows were very small, but there were no dead ends in the lighting, which was obviously done by magic, and Wu Fuga said goodbye to the two on the second floor and went to his room.
The three floors and the entire floor are connected, with several pillars as supports, and tables, chairs, and display boards indicate that this is the meeting place.
The fourth floor is all rooms, and you can't see anything when you pass by the stairs, and the same is true for the fifth floor.
The whole tower is cylindrical, so it is not very high, there are only seven floors, the sixth floor is the residence of the archmages, this is their destination, and the seventh floor is the rooftop, where it is said that the control device that emits the colorful rays is laid out.
Dwarves are a race that is good at physical activity, and there are very few people who love spells, and most of them are magic casters who believe in the dwarf patron god Moradin, and the corresponding number of mages is very small, and there are only a handful of legendary arcane spellcasters in the past generations.
However, in its long history, the Quenched Sword Castle has had two Dwarven Legendary Mages, which makes Seren proud throughout the introduction, these two legends are the builders of the Lost Locks of the Quenched Sword Keep, one of them created the foundation of the Lost Lock, the other perfected the power of the Lost Lock, and now the three Dwarven Great Mages and their apprentices control the Lost Lock.
"You know, a castle that doesn't use slaves will understand the power of its people's preciousness and freedom! slaves can't make a commendable iron ingot, nor grow enough food to feed three mouths. Selen's pride doesn't just come from the arcane: "Why did we choose Hardened Sword Keep? It's because of her vision, it's her wisdom! Spellcasters are all about wisdom, and if we spend all day with those stupid wooden minds, even if we don't have stupid ourselves, we'll be bored and go crazy!"
Qi Yuan deeply agrees with this, he used to be a person who didn't like to associate with "outsiders": "I agree very much!"
"Hah!" Seren was even happier when he got the approval, "There are no slaves in your city?"
"Yes. But we are a country, whether urban or rural, we are one. Qi Yuan explained.
"That's much stronger than your people in Arenada, who listen to the king, but that's when there is a war, and on weekdays it's a small piece of lords who go their own way. After commenting, Seren suddenly talked about his ideals: "If you don't have slaves, then you must be opposed! Why don't we join forces, as long as all the cities are free of slaves, those cultists don't think of causing trouble everywhere!"
"You're going to be disappointed. Qi Yuan felt embarrassed, some things were quite difficult to explain, but it was simple to ask the question: "You mean that those Zoroastrians are related to slaves?"
