Chapter 79: Skeletons in Arms

If you look closely, the rock wall under the statue is full of all kinds of hammer marks, and it is obvious that the patriarchs of the Fire Hammer Clan have relied on this way to enter the Holy Land for hundreds of years!

The hammer prints even formed a steep zigzag staircase that snaked its way up to the holy site above.

Li Yunfei smiled slightly, and walked up the stairs with his little hand.

When he came to the cliff face, he found that the metal statue of the messenger of the fire god was almost four or five meters high, extremely huge, and was carved from a huge stone protruding from the rock wall.

There are not even many traces of knives and axes in the whole statue, which is completely ingenious!

Behind the statue is a hole three or four meters high, which is obviously the entrance to the holy place.

Old Pol was standing at the entrance of the cave at this time, looking inside in awe, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yunfei said with a smile: "I didn't expect the strength of the Bol patriarch to be so strong, according to the division method of our human race, at least it is at the level of a bronze swordsman, right?"

Pol came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "What the Divine Envoy said is true. Speaking of which, our dwarven race's division of strength is similar to that of humans, but the name is different. The most common warriors, the title is the mud hammer, which corresponds to the mud giant, and further up, there are sand hammers, stone hammers, copper hammers, iron hammers, and so on. Old Pol is now the Copper Hammer. ”

After a pause, he gently stroked the giant hammer in his hand, with a proud light on his face, and then said: "For our clan, flames and hammers are the most valuable treasures given by the gods, and the weapons of our dwarves are also mainly war hammers, so we have this title. ”

Li Yunfei nodded slightly, about this, he had also seen from the "General History of the Mainland" that the dwarf race used the hammer as the name, which showed the talent of this forging race.

Moreover, unlike humans, although the number of dwarves is not large, and their height is only half that of humans, they are born with great strength, and once ordinary dwarves reach adulthood, they have the strength of the lowest-level mud giants and receive the title of mud hammer. Converted to the level of a human being, it is the strength of a swordsman.

This race is not just a natural blacksmith and artist, but also a natural warrior.

It's just that when I think about whether it is a human or a dwarf, the judgment of one's own combat power corresponds to the giant, which shows that the most powerful in the world is still a giant!

Li Yunfei shook his head slightly, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and then said, "This cave is the holy land?"

Pol nodded, "Exactly. My Hammer clan has been living here for hundreds of years, and the first thing everyone has been taught about the Holy Land and the Divine Messenger is that every time they come here, Old Pol is in awe. ”

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunfei no longer hesitated and walked in.

I don't know how this cave appeared on the rock wall, it doesn't look big on the outside, but the space inside is not small, hundreds of square meters.

And it was clearly rested, the walls and floor were extremely smooth and flat, and in some places there were carved patterns with a rough style but another wild beauty, which at first glance was the style of the dwarves.

It's just that these didn't surprise Li Yunfei, what really caught his eye was the tools and parts all over the floor in this room!

Among these tools are wrenches, tapers, and a variety of carving knives. The parts are all kinds of small things including screws and nuts, as well as smooth metal barrels, delicate bearings, and so on. Some of these objects are inlaid with thumb-sized fire crystals, engraved with patterns like spider webs.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he was now in the residence of the dwarves of the Fire Hammer Clan, Li Yunfei would have wondered if he had strayed into the workshop of a certain machinery manufacturing factory in his previous life!

Seeing Li Yunfei's shocked gaze, Pol said softly: "The previous generation of Divine Envoys inherited the inheritance of the Fire God, and they have extremely profound insights into forging and smelting, and our clan's forging technology has also made a leap forward because of the appearance of the Divine Envoy. ”

"No...... This is not an ordinary forging technique...... Li Yunfei had already thought of something in an instant at this time, and immediately stepped forward, picked up a metal cylinder, and examined it carefully.

I saw that one end of this metal cylinder was inlaid with a fire magic crystal, and with this fire magic crystal as the center, the patterns were scattered, like a circuit board, forming a mysterious magic circle.

"It's ...... Alchemy!"

He is no stranger to alchemy items, after all, in his own blast furnace, a blower made of alchemy items is used, and he has also checked it specifically. It's just that the alchemy circle on that thing is extremely rough and the principle is simple, and it can't be compared to these precision parts in front of me.

Looking at the parts all over the ground, Li Yunfei instantly understood that this previous generation of Vulcan Messenger must be a master of alchemy!

Putting down the parts in his hand, Li Yunfei continued to walk towards the interior of this holy place.

The deeper you go, the more parts you can see on the ground, and it can be seen that these things seem to be defective products that have not been successfully made, and there are many scratches on them.

And even if it is a defective product, these parts are becoming more and more complete, and after two more steps, a complete metal arm is placed on the ground!

Immediately after, there was a half-piece of metal body, and even the gears inside, as well as several feet made of metal, and even a shattered metal head.

Seeing these things, Li Yunfei couldn't help but feel confused about the identity of the previous generation of Vulcan Emissaries. Who the hell is this? Look at it like this, the alchemy equipment he made is all in human form!

At the end of the hall, a heavy metal door immediately appeared. The metal door is engraved with the same reliefs as the statues outside, as well as a variety of ornate ornaments, and even images of dwarves worshipping the messenger of the god of fire.

Needless to say, these things were added by the dwarves later.

Li Yunfei turned his head to look at Pol, who immediately stepped forward, first saluted the metal door, and then grabbed the doorknob and carefully opened the door. From his expression, it was clear that this old dwarf definitely respected the existence behind this portal from the bottom of his heart.

The metal door, several centimeters thick, opened silently, and a dark red light belonging to the Fire Demon Crystal shone through, revealing the scene inside.

A tall skeleton sat on its knees, one hand in front of it, holding the other petite skeleton, and the other hand gently caressing the face of the petite skeleton in its arms.

Although the flesh and clothes of his body have long since turned to dust, and there are only two empty eye sockets left in his originally godly eyes, it seems that the unswerving tenderness can still be seen in his movements and demeanor, as if he is holding the only treasure in the world in his arms.

Li Yunfei looked at the two skeletons in front of him, and instantly understood that this was the Vulcan Messenger and the Heavenly Maiden of the previous generation!

What a return to the call of the god of fire, in fact, is that they are dead!

Old Pol had already bowed to the ground at this time, and after making a big salute, he stood up with a solemn face and stood behind Li Yunfei.

Li Yunfei looked around and found that in this room, apart from the two skeletons and something covered with a black cloth behind them, all that was left was a yellowed parchment scroll next to the skeleton of the Vulcan messenger.

He also stepped forward to salute the two skeletons, and said "excuse" in his heart, and then picked up the parchment scroll, sat down cross-legged, and began to flip through it.

Turning the first page, several words in the mainland language that Li Yunfei was familiar with appeared in front of him.

"In the year 7098 of the continental calendar, the foggy month, the 19th day.

Today, the production of alchemy dolls officially began, and the first trial production of movable joints began.

The relevant structure diagram and circle settings are as follows.

However, the magic circle required by the alchemy puppet is too subtle, and after the joint is made, it explodes due to the failure of the conductive energy circuit.

Fail.

But it's okay, Kylie, my Kylie, wait for me.

I, Karis, swear that even if I drain my life, I will make a real alchemy puppet and bring you back to life!"
