Chapter 60: The Dwarven Underground City
The feeling of a hangover is always very unbearable, and the headache is like someone digging stone in the head. The pen and fun www.biquge.info had vomited nothing in my stomach, but I still had a burst of colic. The inside of his mouth is as dry as if he has been tormented in the desert for months, and he has an inexplicable liking for all non-alcoholic liquids.
Makoto Tatsuno felt like this now, the pain crawled up from the floor, stretched his arm slightly, and his bones made a garal-gala-rata sound. Groping around on the table, he picked up a cup and poured two sips of water, then sat down on the ground.
As soon as Tatsuno Makoto and the others followed the dwarf to complete the teleportation, they were pulled by Quincy and rushed into the tavern before they could even see this place clearly. Enthusiastic Quincy was to give a grand welcome to Belette, a new friend, according to the rules of the dwarves.
When Quincy raised the glass, the size of a small bucket, and said a toast, Makoto Tatsuno was already a little dizzy. These dwarves don't call drinking at all, they're playing with their lives. God knows how these guys, who are only half the height of normal humans, manage to pour wine into their stomachs one glass after another.
But Quincy's sentence of beating you with wine aroused Makoto Tatsuno's competitive heart. After three cups in a row, Makoto Tatsuno won the cheers of all the dwarves present, and at the same time, he was directly tossed unconscious.
The dwarves, who had been wary of these humans, all thought that these guys might not be as bad as they thought when they saw Makoto Tatsuno drinking. According to the theory of the dwarves, those who can drink without being pretentious are good people. From this point of view, Makoto Tatsuno is definitely a good person among good people.
Just as Makoto Tatsuno struggled to remember what had happened before he fainted, the door opened. Zero Qi poked her head out of the bowl.
"You wake up master, drink this bowl of decanting soup quickly, so that it can be more comfortable. ”
Looking at Makoto Tatsuno, who was sitting on the floor, his eyes still a little straight, Ling Qi handed over a steaming bowl.
After a few sips of soup, Makoto Tatsuno felt much more comfortable. Looking at Ling Qi and asking, "What about them?"
"Everyone is waiting outside for you to meet the dwarven chief. ”
Makoto Tatsuno nodded, drank all the decanting soup, and was about to go out when he found Ling Qi looking at him directly.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Ling Qi bit her lip and whispered, "Master, don't drink so much next time." ”
Makoto Tatsuno walked out with a sigh, and when he arrived at the door, he whispered, "Thank you, I'll pay attention next time." ”
After saying that, he walked out without looking back, and Ling Qi looked at the back of Long Ye Cheng leaving, revealing a sweet smile.
When he got outside, he saw that everyone was chatting, and Makoto Tatsuno said hello casually. Ling Qi followed behind Makoto Tatsuno with a smile on his face.
Quincy laughed and walked up to Makoto Tatsuno: "The patriarch agrees with you, let's go." ”
It is said to be a castle, but it is actually a city carved out of the underground boulders. Buildings throughout the city were carved out of boulders or built from stones. So the whole city looks very simple, as if a group of uncivilized primitive people lived here.
The sound of tinkling iron is constantly heard around the city, and the simplicity of the living environment does not affect the exquisite craftsmanship of the dwarves, and all the weapons and armor made by the dwarves or the gems processed by the dwarves undoubtedly reveal the appearance of fine products.
But in the face of Makoto Tatsuno, the dwarves all cast curious and fearful glances. After all, for hundreds of years, humans have been synonymous with insidious cunning in the mouths of dwarves, even more dangerous than some ferocious monsters.
In the process of small talk, everyone figured out the specific situation of the underground palace. The dwarves were located on about the eighth or ninth floor of the underground palace, where there happened to be a vein along which the dwarves built their cities.
Usually the dwarves would go to the upper floors to hunt, and other necessities were exchanged with the dwarves with weapons and armor or mined gems to the ground, and the lingua franca of the Federation was also learned.
In the Federation, many underground organizations don't care what they trade with in order to make money. However, these upright dwarves always lose money in trading, so they have a very bad impression of the humans on the ground.
And from the sixth floor onwards, all the teleportation arrays were destroyed by the dwarves. It is almost impossible to continue exploring downwards unless the passages that have been buried for hundreds of years are cleared. That's why so far, all Bounty Hunters are still working on maps above six floors and rarely continue to explore.
Borg and Hans came to the sixth layer to try their luck in order to find the alchemy machine, while Tatsuno Makoto and the others came to the sixth layer by mistake because they found the random teleportation magic array on the third floor.
However, to everyone's delight, it was finally confirmed that there was indeed a dragon here. But at the bottom of the underground palace, the dwarves hadn't seen it, at least Quincy hadn't seen it, but they had only heard it mentioned.
After chatting all the way, everyone finally came to a huge stone cave. On either side of the entrance to the cavern, two groups of dwarven soldiers stood on either side.
Seeing Quincy and his party, a dwarf ran over quickly, and it was the dwarven patriarch who led the team to rescue Quincy's captain, the captain of the guard, Maghouse.
"You are really slow to come, the patriarch is waiting for you inside. ”
Maghouse's attitude was as bad as ever, but when he saw Makoto Tatsuno, his expression was noticeably soothed.
"You're a terrible drinker, but you're okay. ”
Hearing McGhauss's words, Tatsuno was honest and didn't know what to say. Being able to fight with this dwarf proves that he has a good character, so isn't a good illusionist who drinks well a rare good person in your long life. But in fact, the illusionist's cunning is definitely the best of the three.
Tatsuno Makoto snorted twice and followed Maghouse into the cavern.
The cave is so vast that it is difficult to understand why a dwarf of such height could have built a wide building. In the center of the cave is a huge stone brazier, in which flames burn, and the flames rush to the top of the cave, and from time to time flames splash onto the surrounding ground.
Something could be faintly seen at the bottom of the basin squirting upwards, and judging from the flames splashing outside, it looked like a liquid. But what kind of liquid can cause such a violent combustion is unknown.
Seeing everyone staring at the flames in amazement, Maghaus's face was full of pride: "You should have heard of this underground fuel, and on the ground you call it demon's blood. It was actually formed by the deposition of plants and animals, but unfortunately the spiky ears were not there, otherwise the value of this thing was much more than the humble use of burning. ”
Hearing McGonath's words, everyone was shocked again. If, according to the dwarf, this thing is used to set fire on the battlefield, then the damage caused is definitely not comparable to ordinary spells.
And the elves he said seemed to be able to make this thing more useful. Everyone knows that the elves have a slender body and a pretty face, and the price of the elves in the federation is very high, but it is only to meet the ulterior needs of the nobles. Could it be that these elves, who can only be used as tools to vent their desires, still have secrets that no one knows?
With doubts in mind, the group walked through the brazier and came to the stone house behind them. A stout figure sat upright in the stone house, and beside him a dwarf in an earthy robe was talking to him in a low voice.
"Patriarch, high priest, they are coming. ”
Hearing Maghouse's voice, the two dwarves in the stone house stopped talking. Tatsuno Makoto's heart was excited, and he was looking forward to all the mysteries that would be slowly solved from here.
