448 Another Framed Team (Part II)
What does Manhe remember about the dwarves?
Twenty years was too long, so long that even though he tried to keep those familiar faces in his memory countless times, he still couldn't stop them from becoming more and more blurred under the sands of time. So, when Ian asked Manhe to reminisce about the dwarves, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I can't remember, I can't remember. Manhe rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "I've almost forgotten the faces of my wife and children, how can you expect me to remember the others." ”
"You'd better think about it. "It's important to us, and it's important to you." Your companion died here, and so did my companion. They don't deserve to die like this, there must be some connection between the people who framed us and the people who framed you. ”
"There's no connection, you know. Manhe glared at Ian, "We are not like you humans, we are the most united race. The word unity has been deeply engraved in our hearts, and when you, who are much stronger than us, are still being chased by dragons all over the world, we dwarves have become a race that can compete with them. ”
"But you're no longer the dwarves you used to be. Ian said coldly, "You are just a small race living on the edge of the continent, locked in by the desert and unable to leave, and may perish at any time." ”
"You know what!" Manhe said, "Dwarven qualities don't change over time. ”
"Yes. ”
Ian slammed up from the ground, grabbed Manhe's collar, and lifted him up directly, "I really don't know about you dwarves, and I don't want to. I just want to find the connection in the middle, I just want to know who is behind the scenes leading all this. I'm going to make them pay, and you have to cooperate with me. ”
"Then what do you expect me to tell you? Manhe stared into Ian's angry eyes, "What do you think I know about a bad old man, a bad old man who has been trapped underground for twenty years?"
"The Dwarves are not as united as you say they are, for Barton Hammer is a traitor, a traitor to your entire race. Ian said, "You told me that." ”
"That's the entire Hammer family, they have a big disagreement with our Black Shield family, so they were driven out of the territory by us, and they can't be counted as a member of the dwarf clan anymore. "And that was much earlier, when I didn't even become a patriarch!"
Ian asked, "What happened then." ”
"That's something that the previous patriarch only knew. All I know is that they ran away with the ancient books of the dwarves. Manhe whispered, "That's the dwarven clan's **, and it's been hidden in the cellar all this time, and no one can see it except the patriarch." But one day, the people of the Heavy Hammer family suddenly killed the guards who were guarding the ancient books and ran away with the ancient books. The entire Hammer family broke away from the Dwarves overnight, and it was only then that the Patriarch ordered the Hammer family to be expelled from the Dwarves. ”
Ian then put Manhe down: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Manhe straightened his collar: "What's the use of saying it earlier? The Hammer Clan's separation from the Dwarves was a long time ago, and I didn't even become the patriarch at that time, and they would make a special trip through the Burial God Desert to come back to take revenge on me?" ”
"A month ago, I wouldn't have imagined that things would turn out the way they are now. Ian said coldly, "What are those so-called ancient books written in?"
"I remember I said that only every patriarch is qualified to know. "But I wasn't the patriarch then, and by the time I became the patriarch, the ancient books had already been taken away." ”
"The old patriarch didn't tell you?"
"I asked, and he said it would be best to bury those things in the desert. "He always thought that the Hammer family would all die in the Burial Desert." ”
"The truth is that none of them died. At this time, Bowen, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke, "They brought the ancient book to the alchemy city of Alder. What do you think those ancient books are, about alchemy?"
Ian, who was asked, shook his head: "If it's alchemy, why is it only allowed to be watched by the patriarch? It must be something many times more important than alchemy, I think, it's all about." ”
"You still think we dwarves made these things?"
"It's not that it's a thought, but that's what it is. "Your ancestors must have studied methods of control, and it has been very effective. The war with the elves thousands of years ago is an example, you who are not superior in all aspects, but you have defeated the elves one after another, and even almost wiped out the race. It's a pity that you rushed too deep into the Yarman Forest, and were caught off guard by the last strength of the elves, so you had to withdraw from the Yarman Forest. ”
"It's just your guess, and it doesn't hold water. "If we can really control this, then how can we still be defeated by the remnants of the elves? ”
Before Ian could speak, Green suddenly spoke:
"It's out of control. ”
Everyone looked at him, he tilted his head, and grinned, "If I'm not mistaken, the time when you dwarves blockaded the royal city should be at the end of the war." Originally, you had already defeated the main force of the elves and were about to win the war, but at this time everything was out of control. The weapons you relied on the most were gone, so even the remnants of the elves could not be attacked, and they retreated hastily. ”
Manhe sneered twice, and was about to say something to refute Green, but when he thought about it, the time when the dwarves closed the royal city seemed to be really at the end of the Great War of the Century.
"If I'm not mistaken, the situation was serious. Because even if the war is lost, the dwarves will lose only the front-line troops, because your foundations are not damaged. But the fact is that the current dwarf race can no longer be compared with the dwarf race of the past. "That is to say, your foundation was damaged at that time, who did it? Elves, impossible, dragons." The only explanation is that it is in the royal city. I think it would have been a very common thing a thousand years ago, where you dwarves enslaved these dead creatures and made them fight for you and do things for you. Until that day, it was completely out of control, the former royal city was destroyed, and tens of thousands of dwarves were killed, which is also the reason why your front-line troops gave up the last bit of strength to exterminate the elves and returned to the Burial God Desert. ”
