Chapter 36: Clark King
The Hammer Family of the Mountain Dwarves, the Golden Family of the Hill Dwarves, and the Dark Family of the Crypt Dwarves are the three major families of the Mountain Country Kuran, and each of the three families has a history of thousands of years as the largest family in their own clan. In the past thousands of years, whether in terms of talent or technology, the three major families have always been at the forefront of the dwarf race, leading the dwarf race to usher in one peak of development after another.
Demigod weapon master Clark King, an elder of the Golden Family, as a member of the heroes who once saved the world, Clark has a very transcendent status both in the clan and in the Mountain Country, and is loved and worshiped by everyone. Every young man of the dwarf clan is proud to have received the guidance and attention of Clark, even if it is only a hero's action direction, or a simple evaluation, can make a young man extremely jealous in the circle of his peers. However, everyone is still more polite, and no one will disturb the hero's life for no reason, so Clark has lived a very comfortable life for more than 100 years.
Today, Clark is more than four hundred and twenty years old, and most of his five hundred years of life have passed, but the old dwarf's experience is still vigorous and his strength is still strong, and people can't help but sigh whether time favors him too much, and has not left a trace of old age on him. According to the address given by Councillor Serra, Pannis walked around the city of Chongshan, and finally came to a remote dwelling, which was very inconspicuous, and probably had no special place except the owner of the house. Walking into the remote residence, you will be greeted by a small courtyard surrounded by walls, and some flowers and plants are planted in the yard at will, and the flowers and plants still maintain their vigorous vitality under the care of the owner of the courtyard from time to time.
When Pannis walked into the courtyard, the old dwarf Clark was sitting in the courtyard, surrounded by a group of dwarven children of sixteen or seventeen. If you convert according to the ratio of the life expectancy of dwarves, sixteen or seventeen years old is still the age of young children, but the age group cannot be so simple and crude conversion, from the perspective of physical conditions and mental and intellectual development, sixteen or seventeen-year-old dwarves can probably be regarded as the age of seven or eight years old, rather than two or three years old.
The old dwarf was in the middle of a group of children, surrounded by children with a smile on his face, wielding a huge two-handed battle axe in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, carving wood in his characteristic way. No matter how many times they saw it, the children were amazed at it, staring at the gradually forming wooden blocks, watching the tomahawks constantly swing and fall with the sound of the wind, and it sounded like a lot of force was used with each blow, but each swing of the axe left only a notch on the wooden block that hit the benefit.
As if sensing something, the old dwarf raised his head from the group of children, and his eyes met Pannis's eyes, and from the old dwarf's surprised gaze, Pannis saw joy from the heart. whispered a few words to the children, who were very obedient, and although they felt very sorry, they quickly dispersed, leaving the yard to the old dwarf and the strange humans in their eyes.
"Long time no see, my friend. The old dwarf struck up and strode towards him. Although he was very old, his beard was black, and his gait was still vigorous, and he opened his arms and hugged each other violently, and the power of the hug was so great that the muscles on both sides creaked in protest. Finally, the old dwarf let go of Pennis after hugging him, slapped Pannis's shoulder hard, and laughed and said, "Kyle, why are you here, I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see you in my life, especially Maya and Tya, the two little guys, said they didn't send you a message." ”
"I'm still wondering. Pannis also slapped the old dwarf on the back in retaliation, laughed and said, "Why did those two fools ask you for help, but they didn't look for me, do you know something?"
"They say Christo has something important for you to do, so you can't get out. Clark replied, "That little goblin guy always does strange things, and it's not surprising that you're going to run errands for him." ”
"yes. "That's why I came here with my teammates." Although I also have my own private messages, some teammates may need to use something from the mission objective, so that neither of them loses. ”
"Haha. Clark laughed, "So you stopped by to see me?"
"No, on the contrary, I've come to you. Pannis became serious and said solemnly: "I want to find out what happened to Maya and Tya, and they are so anxious to ask for help." ”
"Came to me?" Clark asked curiously, "By the way, you haven't asked yet, how did you know I was here." ”
"Saved Sierra on the way. Pannis replied, "She told me, that's why I came in a panic." ”
"Saved Serra?" Clark repeated, suddenly angrily asking, "Someone is playing Serra's idea?"
"Assassins of the Shadow Hand only. Pannis waved his hand: "Wait for your sister to tell you herself, I'm still waiting for you to tell me what happened to Maya and Tya." ”
"Recently, there have been demigods and monsters running out of the forest. Clark explained, "The two of them scouted from above and found that the commotion was most likely coming from the interior of the Forest of Death. Of course, these are not important, the really important things, at this rate, after more than a month, the commotion will reach the edge of the Forest of Death, and there may be more than forty demigod demonic beasts rushing into the Feather People Mountain Range, this kind of disaster, it is really difficult for the Winged Terran to deal with it itself, so she remembered our old friends and came forward to invite us to help. It is said that Asker is also going this time, isn't he one of the leaders of the Shadow Hand now, and I'm going to talk to him about Serra this time. ”
"More than a month later?" Pannis, pacing in place, muttered for a while and said, "In this way, you wait for me in Chongshan City for a while, and if I can come back in time, I will come with you at that time." ”
"That's fine. Clark replied, "But where are you going, will you be able to get back in a little more than a month?"
"Mount Filias. Pannis said, "Go to Earth Wound there, look for the remains of a goblin, Serra said you have been to Earth Wound before, how is it, do you have any clues?"
Clark's face changed, and he said with a wry smile, "You're going to the wound of the earth, Kyle, you're still so brave." ”
"No way, I have a reason why I have to go, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to break through. Pannis said, "I've heard that there are dangers for demigods, is it true?
Clark suddenly shouted loudly, and soon, a guard ran from the door, Clark explained a few words, the guard left in a hurry, and then he explained: "Among the dwarves in the crypt, there is a young man who likes to run around the ground, he has gone deep into the interior of the wound of the earth, and he will explain the details to you." When I first broke into the earth, I was only active on the periphery, and I didn't go deep inside, so I didn't know what was going on inside. However, compared to the outside world, it is really like two worlds, and all the creatures inside, whether animals or plants, are extremely special, and the outside world cannot see them at all, so you have no counterparts to understand the characteristics and habits of those creatures, so you can only blindly wander inside. ”
"That's all?" asked Pannis, confused, "It's a lot more normal than I thought." ”
"You'll know when you get there. Clark smiled wryly and said, "Words alone are hard to describe. However, I doubt the need to wait for you here, and if you want to go deep into the wounds of the earth, I don't think you'll be back in a month. ”
"You're going to have to reforge the axe anyway. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Just if the forging time is extended a little, there is no loss." However, I'm really sorry to say that, your favorite axe was the one that shattered in the battle last time you were in another dimension, and I've always felt sorry for you. ”
"It's time to change anyway, there's nothing to be sorry about. Clark laughed and shook his head: "Actually, those two two-handed giant axes were the works of my youth, and they were not the best in many aspects, so they broke in battle." This time, I have learned my lesson, and I am going to use the best materials to forge two two-handed giant axes with all my might, which can be regarded as the best work I can keep. ”
"So you're going to let Sierra collect materials?" Pannis nodded, "Listening to what you said, I'm getting more and more curious, and I really want to see your new axe sooner." By the way, do you need help? I remember that my blacksmithing skills were improved by you, and I am qualified to be your helper by the fire. ”
"Don't you think you're busy enough?" Clark glared at Pennis, shook his head, "Your task is to hurry up and help Christo, and then come back quickly, I still miss the hearty feeling of fighting with you, if you can get back in time, we will all have a chance to feel it again." ”
"Okay, okay. Pannis shrugged: "I'll be back as soon as possible, in fact, I already have some preliminary ideas about the mission objectives, and it is likely that the progress will be faster than you think." ”
"It would be great if it was true. Clark held the beard on his chest with both hands, and an ugly smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Everyone is also looking forward to fighting side by side this time, so as soon as they asked for help, everyone agreed." However, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that without you, they would not be able to re-experience the feeling they once had. If I take you with me, everyone will be excited.
