444 [Fire Palace]
Manhe has been thinking about the last right decision for the past few days when he saved Ian, and if he hadn't chosen to save him, he should have lived the same life as before. Hiding and running every day in search of food and water, although it was stable, it was extremely boring, after all, he had been through such days for more than 20 years.
After saving him, his life changed. The biggest change is that it's so exciting, especially now, when he's being chased by dozens of people.
", bastard,!" Manhe scolded all the swear words he could swear, "come and save me!"
At the moment when he finished speaking, several small balls were thrown from the roof beam, bounced in the group a few times, and then exploded with a "bang". The scorching flames spread in an instant, devouring these things that should have died a long time ago.
Ian jumped from under the roof beams and landed right in front of Manhe, startling him and sitting on the ground.
"Alright, stand back. Ian walked towards the group that had been lured, "Leave the rest to us." ”
At the same time, Grimm and Bowen jumped down, and the three of them formed a triangle and surrounded the group. Obviously, there were only three of them, and there were dozens of them who couldn't be killed. However, this moment becomes the prey, and they are the real hunters.
The fight, oh no, it should be called a sweep did not last long. Manhe only rested for a moment, and all of it was reduced to crumbs of char. They had finally discovered the best weapon to deal with, and that was fire, and whatever could not be killed, as long as it was reduced to pieces of charcoal, it could no longer pose a threat.
"Is everything on the second floor here? Ian asked Manhe.
"How is it possible, to run the entire second floor in such a short period of time?" Manhe gave Ian an angry look, "but the nearby ones are already here, and this is the closest, and there are a lot more places on the second floor." The rest of the corners don't pose much of a threat anymore. ”
Ian nodded, then turned to look at them.
At this moment, they are standing at the door of the second basement floor, and unlike that, there is one more door in the first place. The gate is made of dark red metal, and a metal plaque hangs from the door beam, on which is a simple word "fire".
"The Terran script was learned from the Dwarves. Bowen said, "That's right. ”
Ian nodded, took a deep breath, and walked on. As he put his hand on the door, a heavy feeling of metal and age came to his face, and he gently pushed the door open, and without much effort, it was presented to everyone little by little.
They walked inside, and in the light of the fire, the two rows of tall shadows became clearer and clearer.
"This door is made of bronze. Bowen knocked on the dark red metal door and looked inside, "Those things are the same." ”
The things Bowen was talking about were statues of two rows of dwarven guards, the same as the inside. These two columns of statues seem to greet the people who come, but unlike the statues here, they are dead objects, made of bronze, unlike the inside, which is trapped by the dwarven Deadpool.
It's just that these bronze statues are also dark red, and the whole is in this hue, as if to match the word "fire". Other than that, the layout is almost the same as the layout of them, and they walk on the road surrounded by statues.
"Speaking of which, I've always been curious about the Deadpool you met earlier. Bowen said, "Are those things? If so, doesn't that mean the dwarves had a way to make them thousands of years ago?"
"If you're asking me, I can't answer you. "At least when I was the patriarch, I didn't know how to make it, and of course I didn't even see it at the time. But that doesn't mean you're wrong, because since the end of our war with the Elves, too many things have been lost, and all that has been preserved is the fragmentary alchemy, which is now being overtaken by your human alchemists. ”
Ian suddenly remembered Omera, the dream dragon, who lived in the mud under a cliff in the Yarman Forest. They found something of the dwarves inside, that is, a thousand years ago, it was a place where the dwarves fought.
"As far as I know, during the heyday of the elven race, there were hundreds of lineage warriors who could fly to the sky. Ian said, "They are extremely capable of fighting, but even so, you dwarves still almost wiped out the elves, and if you hadn't gone too deep and been attacked by the beasts and dragons that inhabit the Yarman Forest, you would have won the war." In other words, at that time, your strength was above that of the elves. ”
Manhe nodded: "That's right, in our epic, the elves were defeated by us on the frontal battlefield, and we only suffered heavy losses in the Yarman Forest. ”
"That's strange, when your size is completely unadvantageous, can you defeat the elves with a few immature alchemy weapons?" Ian said softly, "You know, they have hundreds of inheritance warriors. ”
Manhe frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
“。 "You mean, they brought them to the battlefield?
"I'm just guessing. Ian shook his head and said, "We'll probably never know what the truth is." Wait, when I was in the snowy mountains, I once saw the murals of the dwarves going out, and if nothing else, those murals depicted the battle of the century between the dwarves and the elves. But I haven't finished reading the mural, and if I can see the whole thing, I'll definitely get the answer. ”
The snow-capped mountain that Ian is talking about is the World Tree that guards it, and it is also the time when he and the Messiah depend on each other.
"That's easy, you can check it out next time. ”
Ian smiled bitterly and shook his head, the monsters in the snowy mountains are not much less than those in the Yarman Forest, and it is not worth the risk for an answer that has nothing to do with him.
"I've always had some doubts. Bowen whispered, "What do those royal family want us to do, and if they want to kill us, why don't they just do it?
