Chapter 12: Karui the Dwarf
Going down the dark stairs, Li Mo and Kerry walked in. The www.biquge.info steps of pen & fun & pavilion are not too many, after walking dozens of steps and turning a corner, Li Mo appeared in a basement.
The basement is unadorned, and the surrounding area is still in the shape of dirt, and the traces from the excavation of the basement are still there. However, by the light of the torches, Li Mo found that the surrounding walls were not as dull as ordinary soil, but reflected the light of the torches like metal. Obviously, the hardness of the wall is also very amazing.
Inside the basement, there were already a few people. Before Li Mo went in, they should have been discussing something. After hearing the sound of Li Mo and the two coming down the steps, they stopped talking. Therefore, when Li Mo entered the basement, several people inside were sitting around a round table, but their eyes were focused on Li Mo's direction.
The first to stand up was Will, and as Will got up, several people around the round table stood up.
"Here you are, Lord Oldman. Now Will's voice is very serious, and his demeanor has become a little restrained.
"It seems that you recognize me as a big person, perhaps, I originally had a prominent identity in this world?" Li Mo thought in his heart, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.
The experience of his previous life made him understand that when he felt lost about his current situation, it should be a good choice to follow the current script. Perhaps, some unexpected clues can be found.
After all, even if these people were deceiving him, they would not pose any threat to Li Moyou. With the scroll at the bottom of the box, Li Mo knew that he had the strength to turn the tables at any time.
"Will, don't call me Lord Oldman, your personality is really not suitable for a serious atmosphere. Li Mo said as he spoke, and at the same time quickly glanced at the few people present as he walked towards the table.
In addition to Will and Carrey, who were already familiar, there were also two warriors Carl and Gerald who had already seen during the day, as well as the magician Kate and Ranger Jack. But there was another person who attracted Li Mo's attention.
Standing next to the table was a dwarf who was just up to Li Mo's waist, with a body shape that was extremely incommensurate with his height, wearing a thick but very neat cloth robe, and his bare arms were all strong muscles as hard as rocks, and his excessively thick body made his whole person look square.
He had a bushy beard, a hat on his head, and a pair of strips of black lenses resembling sunglasses tied to his forehead. This should be Karui, the dwarven forge of Thor's hammer.
Sure enough, the dwarf stood there, bending down with great effort and saluting Li Mo. "Lord Oldman, Karui Anvil salutes you, and may the gods protect you forever!"
Li Mo also returned the salute: "It's a great honor to meet you, Lord Karui, may your beard be as thick as the roots of the World Tree!" "The dwarves believe in the goddess of the earth, and in the legend of Onesek, the whole world is a huge tree, and the Oneseka continent is just a branch of the World Tree. The goddess of the earth was born from the first leaf of this branch, and is the god who rules over all the lands of the Onisek. The dwarves, according to legend, are a race created by the goddess of the earth.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've heard such a familiar greeting, Lord Oldman, you are such a learned man! Karui looked very happy when he heard Li Mo's greeting, and the laughter made the beard on his face tremble. Because of the current Onesek, humans are the dominant race, and the arrogant humans do not bother to learn the etiquette of those aliens whom they regard as savages.
"When I was studying with my teacher, I traveled to many places and met most of the races on the mainland. I feel that the culture of every race is worth learning and respecting. What Li Mo said was actually when he was in the game, he saw all kinds of NPCs, and the dialogue in the game always started with paying tribute to each other.
"What you said is really a novel point, you know, it's not that I speak ill of humans, but most humans are dismissive of us dwarves, and it is really difficult for us to survive in the human world. If we were like you, I think the world would be a lot better. Kalu's eyes lit up when he heard Li Mo's words, and his mouth chattered endlessly, as if he couldn't stop talking.
At this moment, Jack next to him spoke: "Master Karui, although you have a good conversation, we have more important things, don't we?"
Karui suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, Lord Oldman, if you don't mind, can you show us your ring?"
When Li Mo heard this, he vaguely guessed the reason why Will and the others were so enthusiastic about him when they first met. It seems that the Creator's Ring, even in this world, is a well-known existence.
"I can show you the ring, but for some reason I can't take it off. I can only wear it on my hand and look at it. "The Creator's Ring has attributes that cannot be removed or discarded, and it is bound to Li Mo for life.
Unexpectedly, Karui looked unsurprised: "I know this, you just need to hold it in your hand and let us take a look." ”
When Li Mo heard this, he stretched out his left hand, and the Creator's Ring was on the middle finger of his left hand.
While everyone was observing the Creator's Ring, Li Mo also looked at the ring carefully. Only then did he realize that compared to the beginning, the color of one of the five gems around him had changed slightly, and the purple on it had become a little stronger. It's just that this change is very small, and only Li Mo can recognize the subtle differences in gems because he is also a master of magic equipment.
"I guess it's because of skill proficiency, so far, it's only very low. And the color of the gemstone has only changed slightly. After thinking about it, Li Mo gave what he thought was the most reasonable explanation.
As an upgradable piece of equipment, there must always be some upgrades.
"Your Excellency Oldman, I've finished reading it. While Li Mo was thinking, Karui had already finished observing the Creator's Ring. After he looked up, glancing at the others present, Karui nodded. The next moment, everyone present crossed their arms to their chests and saluted Li Mo with a respectful expression: "Your Highness." ”
At the beginning, when Li Mo saw several people asking to see his ring, he had already raised his vigilance in his heart, and the Creator's Ring was the authentication key of the Creator's profession. Li Mo was ready to fight back against their snatching, but their actions made him completely confused, and this script went in two opposite directions completely from what he thought.
"Your Highness, why do you call me that?" Surprised, Li Mo asked directly.
Unexpectedly, Will's expression was even more puzzled: "You are the messenger of the God of Craftsmen, is there anything wrong with us calling you Your Highness?" In the hearts of everyone in Thor's Hammer, since Li Mo's identity has been exposed, there is no need to hide it.
Damn! Li Mo's heart wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't expect that he was asking a brain-dead question that all children knew the answer to. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Li Mo had no choice but to move out his unwarranted teacher.
"But this ring of mine was passed on to me by my teacher, and he didn't tell me about the messenger of the craftsman god. ”
This time, it was Karui who answered, and he saw a look of surprise on his face: "Your teacher?
"Didn't I just tell Will when we first met?" Li Mo felt that he was really unfavorable for the passing years, and the more he opened his mouth, the worse it became, and this lie seemed to be unrounded.
He silently decided in his heart that he would never lie again, and now his head is full of black lines and wants to cry without tears.
