Chapter 175: The Altar
A second ā of small ā³ said § net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Gravel of various sizes was cleared from the ruins by dwarven craftsmen and piled up in minecart dumps to transport to the outer city, and the ruins of the huge inner city became a hot construction site at this time, setting off a noisy smoke and dust that enveloped everyone, and from time to time there was an irrepressible muffled cough.

Lu Bin looked really unreasonable, knowing that Bretton Rock City must have a ventilation system, so he asked the underground dwarf guide to take someone to do this, as for the current difficulty, he simply threw a few "wind wall techniques", and the smoke and dust that filled the surrounding area were empty in a blink of an eye.
The dwarven craftsmen were inspired and lifted their spirits, and the work of clearing the ruins became faster. Later, the underground dwarf guide led the tribesmen to clean and rebuild the ventilation ducts according to the map's instructions, and the hot air from the burning pillars of the flames exchanged convection with the cold breath outside the city, thus forming soft gusts of wind that slowly blew into the inner city.
Nina Wilder followed the Dwarven Elder and did what she could, but Hardin Copperbeard knew that the noble girl was a special person, so he didn't dare to call her at will.
Following the experience of the Alpine Dwarves in expanding their settlements, they cleared out underground dwarf temples dedicated to the gods, and built an altar to the main dwarven god "Moradin the Soul Smith" in the adjacent area, with blessed hammers and anvils placed on it, and a roaring furnace nearby.
Lu Bin noticed that the altar flashed with a pearly white light, obviously attracting the attention of the dwarven father due to its special shape, which was somewhat unexpected, but reasonable.
The dwarven craftsmen saw this scene as well, and it was clear that the newly built altar immediately entered the gods' field of vision, and their faith in the future was greatly increased, and they no longer showed a depressed and unrelieved look of melancholy.
As the effect of the Wind Wall Technique slowly faded, the fresh air that blew in from outside the city continued to take effect, blowing away the dust that filled the ruins, and when I passed the altar along the way, I couldn't even get a trace of dust because of the thin layer of white light.
A young dwarven craftsman, suddenly inspired to tears, and as he approached the altar, the immaturity on his face had quietly faded, revealing the fortitude and splendor of faith that only a clergyman had.
When Lu Bin saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself: "It is worthy of a world where gods exist, even though priests and other clergy have cut off the inheritance, as long as there is an opportunity, the gods are willing to pay, and the belief system can be restored anytime and anywhere." It's just that when the mountain dwarves were in their heyday, why was the behemoth backed by the dwarven gods behind it fall by the dungeon alliance in the dark region?
Lu Bin was really puzzled by this, but he was not very entangled in these past things, and the stabilizing effect of the establishment of the altar on the "people's hearts" of the dwarven craftsmen was firmly remembered by him.
Among the dwarves who cleared the ruins were those like Hardin Copperbeard, who had seen the ups and downs of the mountain dwarves over the years, the farmers who had been tamed by the whips of the Council of Mages and tended to moss crops in their fields, some of them had seen blood and turned into staunch warriors, and craftsmen who were friendly with the dwarves of the underground and worked in their own workshops.
Although they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, they seem a little out of place due to their different life experiences, but when the altar was established, the favor of the dwarven gods reunited the dwarves with floating hearts.
"This is the power of faith! I underestimate the people who have the support of immortal gods behind them, although they will fall to the bottom and be trampled on, it seems that anyone can go up and step on their feet and find a bargain on them, but as long as there is a chance, they will rise again. ā
The dwarves' enthusiasm for work is mobilized, the progress of clearing the ruins becomes faster, and strangers from different places who are not familiar with each other gradually learn to cooperate with each other, and the tacit understanding is accumulated and precipitated bit by bit.
As they advanced to the core of the inner city, an Earth elemental who had been sleeping for a long time and recuperating in the depths of darkness was awakened by the work of the dwarves and slowly opened its cloudy mud-gray eyes.
Influenced by the evil thoughts of the tyrant of the stone of the powerful elemental prince of the earth elemental plane, the earth elemental who showed his fangs to the mortals of the main material plane, once set off a killing storm in Breton Rock City, and the underground gnomes could not calm them down from the rage by all means, and found that they could not be sent back to their original plane, so they could only destroy them all, but there were always some fish that slipped through the net, especially the army of dark elves who followed closely behind to capture this isolated dungeon.
As for now, the evil earth elemental that has healed his wounds stretches his hands and feet, lifts the state of curling into eggs, and returns to his attack form, and the rock fist is divided into sharp claws, and the inverted stone ridge that spreads from the back of the hand to the elbow is densely packed like the thorns of a sea cucumber, and the core of the back to protect the source of life has an extra stone grasp like a crane, and there is an extra arm.
Harding Copperbeard was the first to discover the awakened evil elemental when he heard about it from an underground gnome guide, but he didn't expect to be encountered by himself.
Knowing that he was not an opponent, he immediately wanted to open his mouth and call out "Legendary Mage Lord Rez", but not long ago, there was a glorious altar that flowed brightly, giving the dwarven elders unprecedented confidence, so he firmly believed that he could lead his clan to defeat the enemy, and began to call the nearby dwarven warriors to come and fight together.
The body of the evil elemental ugly monster is full of scars from the brutal battle, and the missing parts are filled in with rubble, which is one of the weaknesses that can be exploited.
And without the help of a partner, even if it has a third hand behind it, it is impossible to defend itself against attacks from all sides.
Harding Copperbeard's strategy is very simple, throwing attacks from a distance, and in the dwarven warriors' powerful rock throws, the evil elemental counterattacks are always frequent, and after the damage accumulates, it doesn't take long for the burly body to fall apart again.
Once again, it wanted to escape, and the dwarven warriors were afraid of the evil elemental counterattack and did not dare to get too close, but Lu Bin was dismissive of this, after all, he had brought with him a bloodstone golem that was no less large than the target.
Just in case, Lu Bin ordered the loyal construct to go berserk, and the unstoppable force suppressed the evil elemental ground, and even if it resisted with all its strength, it was only a dying struggle.
Hardin Copperbeard and many dwarven warriors witnessed the wrestling between the two monsters, especially the brutality of the evil elementals, and they were secretly glad that "Lord Rez" had solved it.
Lu Bin was also not polite, it was clear that he was grabbing people's heads, reaching out to summon the skeleton overseers, wielding a black iron scepter to break the target's arms, and then opening the passage connecting the "Elven Waste Capital Elondale", and throwing two strange earth elemental arms into it.
Later, he ordered the Bloodstone Golem to cling to the resisting evil element, and walked directly into the space-time gate of the golden veins and green leaves, and extracted its source by the ubiquitous rules of the plane, further enriching the foundation of the "Land of Bones".
This unexpected harvest made Lu Bin's collection more than a bunch of spell cards with a limit on the number of uses, such as rock skin, stone claw, and stone plastic.
Now he didn't pay much attention to these spells, but the stone claw technique was a surprise, and at the cost of this spell card, Lu Bin successfully extracted the "earth claw" of the earth and rock genera from the "Summoned Beast" deck.
Its form is not much different from that of a miniaturized structure, a sword spider, with eight limbs and feet that are sharp edged swords, and hard rock is no more difficult for it to deal with than the soil ploughed by a ploughshare.
After determining the affiliation, Lu Bin showed his gains to the dwarven warriors, including Hardin Copperbeard, who at first were puzzled by his apparently unkind form.
However, in the current difficult period of lack of engineering equipment, there are many places where the "claw claw" comes in handy, and the sharp claw feet can neatly cut the gravel that can be used, and it is used by dwarven craftsmen to build houses, and it is quickly welcomed by everyone.
Lu Bin had the "half-plane" to transfer the reconstruction materials provided by the underground gnomes, and he took out some of the supplies at his discretion and asked Nina Wild to participate in the distribution.
Before the next replenishment arrives, the fields planted with mosses and fungi become an essential reconstruction project, but fortunately, many of the dwarven warriors are farmers from the city of Palladium, and the process of planting, watering, and fertilizing begins after sorting out the ridges.
After a trivial turmoil in Bretton Rock City, the reconstruction work returned to normal, showing a thriving scene, but Lu Bin, who was in charge of the matter, did not dare to slack off, still clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
The ruins of the dungeon, which had been silent for many years, were ignited by hundreds of dwarves to revive the flames, and the news was planted with false rumors, and soon reached the ears of the dark elves.
No one would ignore the tentative expansion of the forces of the surface dungeons in the dark region, especially the cunning arms dealers whose roots came from the underground gnomes, who were only the upper echelons of the dark elves, and the many city lords who enjoyed honorable positions had seen too many wars that had risen and prospered and then fell.
Harvesting the seeds that drift away from afar only takes root and sprouts is not enough to plug the gap between the teeth, and it is not a good time to start a war.
The cost of the army's promotion is a lot of money, not to mention that during this "expedition", all kinds of materials will definitely be inexplicably "floated away" for various ridiculous reasons.
The battle is getting poorer and poorer, and the dark elves are not interested in accompanying them, they all want to wait for the young seedlings to grow smoothly, and then carry out a wave of harvesting when they bloom and bear fruit, and by the way, they can also dampen the morale of the surface dungeon alliance, what a good deal.
Of course, as the conqueror of Breton Rock City, a certain dark elf dungeon, is ready to send more patrols to conduct routine patrols of the "territory" that has been laid down by itself.
The first team soon rode the underground lizards, and marched from the spiraling stairway to the surface of the dark region, and all the masters and mothers in the city wanted to get involved, but only the top ten families were qualified to be promoted.
