Chapter 307: The Arrow of the Old Days (6)
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" the Raven gestured for the dwarf to stop his story, and his action made Krus beside him glare with dissatisfaction, the Demon Spawn was immersed in his friend's adventure, and he was very unhappy to be interrupted at this time. At this time, the two men in Hammer Castle had already changed into the clothes sent by the servants, although they still had some faint smell from the sewers, but that could only be removed after taking a bath.
The sorcerer didn't care about Krus's displeasure, and leaned over to the table with some excitement on his face. "Do you really know the Mother of the Crypt as you say?" Of course, I don't mean to doubt it, but even in my teacher's library, there is no such record! Nuclear gold, I've never heard of this metal, can I get some samples back later?" Maybe the cursed crow has always given people the impression of coldness, but because of the teachings of the Gray Tower, every gray robe has an almost greedy thirst for knowledge, especially knowledge that has not been discovered or explored in depth before.
"I don't care, if you can get the metal off. Nuclear gold is impervious, whether from the onslaught of weapons or the effects of magic, and in our dwarven history, we have tried countless ways to destroy this damn thing, but in vain. André took a sip of his wine and said casually that as long as the wizard stopped foolishly awakening the dark heart that was sleeping in the church, he would not mind the crow trying.
"Sounds like this thing would be a good weapon. But if the nucleus is as untouchable as you say, how did they come to be forged into churches? I mean, it can't be something from the sky, can it?" Karus unceremoniously picked up a glass from the dwarven table and filled himself with fire lily, a wine made by the Grand Duke of Hammer himself with an impressive taste and magical effect.
"Heh, you've finally got the point. Although the jury is inconclusive, based on years of observation by the dwarves and my own experiments, I feel that nuclear gold is not a mineral at all, it is alive. André said solemnly, the light casting deep shadows on the dwarf's face, making him speak with an eerie expression.
"What?" both Crow and Clarus exclaimed subconsciously at the sight of this horrific remark. Living metal, how is this possible?
"There's nothing surprising to know that when we first entered the church because of the steppe priest's wrong spell, it wasn't what you see now. The dwarf said leisurely......
The trio fumbled in the darkness and soon discovered the borders of the house, and when the dwarf's hand touched the nuclear wall, he was silent for a moment before speaking. "Here, follow me. ”
"Do you know how to go?" Sigget, who was following André, asked his friend with some confusion as he suppressed the captive. The human king was completely unable to generate a valid idea of location in such a dark environment with no references, let alone find an exit from this space. And while Siggert knew that dwarves were much better at seeing in the dark than humans, he didn't think that would make a difference in a completely lightless environment.
"The lines, the lines on these metals will point to the structure here. This is the experience of our people over the millennia, and I don't know if it's really useful, after all, there are not many opportunities to meet the Dark Heart. Andrei replied, keeping his hands on the wall as he moved forward. During this process, the dwarf would pause from time to time to reflect on the lines he felt on his hands with the symbols he remembered that his elders had forced him to memorize.
"When you arrive, come to me, go straight ahead, don't turn. Walk thirty steps and stop. As they came to a certain wall, André said to his fellow humans. With that, the dwarf was the first to leave the wall and walked in the opposite direction to it. Siggert opened his mouth to stop his friend, but then it occurred to him that André would never leave him if he could help. The dwarves undoubtedly mean that they can only rely on themselves here.
Pouting, the king punched the captive in his arms, and after making sure that the other man had fainted completely, Siggert carried the steppe man who had put him in danger on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and leaned his back against the wall to orient himself, not to mention what would happen if he deviated from the straight line, the mere fact that he was separated from his companions in the dark would have made him uneasy.
"Alright, let's go, it's only thirty steps. The king whispered that it would take courage to leave the wall in this strange and dark space. He bravely made his first move after a hard blow to his chest. And then the second step, the third step...
"You're walking much slower than I thought, are our brave lions afraid of the dark?" Andrei's voice sounded from the darkness. The dwarf's words woke Siggert suddenly, and the humans suddenly realized that they had come to a lampstand made of nuclear gold, and the reason for this lampstand was carved in a very strange shape, and the surface of the column could faintly see patterns such as lions, war hammers, and horses stacked on top of each other in a chaotic manner.
"What is this?" asked Sigget, pointing to the lampstand that glowed faintly. He tried to see what was burning in the lampstand, but the king quickly gave up the futile act, and he could see nothing in the light.
"I don't know how to explain it, but you can understand that this is our desire for light. The dwarf behind the menorah shrugged his shoulders and rubbed his big rough hands at the chaotic carvings on the surface of the lampstand.
The king frowned, struggling to understand his companion's words. "You mean, we made this lampstand?"
"So to speak. Andrei nodded, the look on his face indicating that the dwarf didn't quite understand exactly how it happened. "When you haven't even walked up to me, this lampstand doesn't exist at all. But when you stop, it's like it's always here. I think we'd better get out of this place quickly, it's driving me crazy. ”
Siggert reached out and patted Andre on the shoulder, indicating that he couldn't agree more. He could feel that what was in this darkness was completely beyond his knowledge of the world, and even the magic and witchcraft that the king once thought could be omnipotent could not do what was happening in front of him.
"So, how do we get out of here? Imagine an exit?"
"Don't do that. God knows where the exit you created will lead, this black box is not part of our world, and if not done right, it can even send us to other planes. The dwarf said, leaning over and began to check the nucleus on the ground, hoping to find more clues.
