Chapter 27: The Hammer

"From the Longteng Mountains in the east, to the Fornia Basin in the west, across the Katyusha Icefield, including the Sibel Desert, the former dwarven empire was so powerful and huge, dominating in the middle of the continent, and now living in this invisible underground, the hospitable dwarves have become silent one by one, don't you want to revive the dwarven empire?"

In the middle of the night, the leader of the dwarven tribe sat next to Thundering with two pots of ale from the goblin merchant, and they had more than half of the tribe killed and wounded today, and less than 4,000 of the more than 8,000 dwarves were now left.

Thunder recalls the glory days of the dwarves with rare impassionedness, persuading the dwarven leaders to stir up and revive the empire.

It's not that Thunder is suddenly kind, but that Thunder accidentally discovers a task on the data panel: the revival of the dwarves. The reward for the quest is a black godhead shard!

He landed in the ancient continent, it is equivalent to traveling, it is very good to be able to see the data panel, he didn't expect that there will be a mission! and frantically rewarded the godhead fragments, as far as Lei Ming knows, there are many ways to become a god, one of the most annoying is to collect nine godhead fragments of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white, but after all, he is a god, he was not prepared to become a god, but the opportunity is in front of him, and his heart can not be calm.

Every time you get a godhead fragment, you will be forced to upgrade to one level, collect nine pieces and force it to upgrade to level 30, starting from level 30, it is a mythical power, although the god is not omnipotent, but after all, it is very powerful.

Therefore, Thunder, who usually doesn't talk much, began to chatter and persuade the dwarven leader under the attraction of the godhead fragments.

"Who said I didn't want to, reviving the empire is the wish of every one of our dwarves, but what's the use, my great-grandfather Golden Hammer worked hard all his life, my grandfather Silver Hammer worked hard all his life, and my father Bronze Hammer still worked hard all his life, and the result is like this, my tribe has come to an end, although everyone doesn't say it, but I know in my heart that our god of war is no longer there...... What can I do with my hammer? The tribe is dying. ”

While pouring a big gulp of wine, as he spoke, the dwarven leader in front of Lei Ming actually cried, how bitter his heart must be.

However, he can also understand that from the huge empire in the past to the current huddled in the dark underground world, this bloody wound has been ruthlessly uncovered by thunder, coupled with the fact that the tribe is facing great disasters today, no matter how strong a person is, he can't stand this kind of blow, let alone this hopeless life, and he lives numbly every day, as if waiting for death.

Lei Ming followed and poured a sip of ale, not very strong, a little bitter, and a little barley tea, the dwarven leader didn't say a word when he was fighting, he looked very cold, and drank two sips of ale, but it was no different from an ordinary dwarf uncle.

"What's the use of crying? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the god of light that our human race believes in is also dead, and we can't live without the protection of the gods?

Lei Ming suddenly stood up and scolded loudly, he glared at the decadent dwarf uncle, very vicious, he was about to stimulate the hammer again, but the hammer was startled.

"How can you say that about your gods?" Thunder Roar's rude approach worked, and Hammer had forgotten to shed tears, partly because he had heard that the gods of the Terran race had also fallen, and on the other hand, he was shocked by Thunder's disrespectful wording as "Death".

"Death is dead, and we can't come back to life, we are living well now, what are we afraid of?, will you melt when you see the sun outside?" Lei Ming pursed his lips and began to use the agitation method, the dwarf uncle had already begun to be led by his nose, he knew that it was useless to follow these stubborn dwarves and stalk them, only by constantly being hit and stimulated, they would step into the trap he carefully weaved step by step.

"But, but we've been living here for hundreds of years......" Iron Hammer was in a trance, he longed for the outside world in his heart, but he didn't dare to go out, because his father told him on his deathbed that he must not leave the underground world, otherwise he would completely cut off the hope of their tribe, as for what hope was, he still didn't know!

"Now is the only chance for your tribe to leave the underworld! Tens of millions of people of our human race have moved into the continent in a big way, and the faith is blank, and all the gods are secretly competing, trying to compete for faith, and no god will care about your small dwarf tribe at this time. Put all your scruples aside, do you think the great dwarves are going to fight with a bunch of ugly nezumi? To hell with your worries, this is already the case, could it be worse?"

Lei Ming began to bewitch the dwarf uncle Hammer, but the analysis he made was true, these dwarves did not care about leaving now, but Lei Ming, who knew the result in advance, secretly felt funny, many gods all coveted the big cake of human beings, and their minds were different, and these gods did not understand the black belly of human beings, it was a well-known two-faced and three-faced, and there would be no unified belief in another hundred years, just look at the fact that when there was only one God of Light, there were still a large number of nobles in the empire who did not believe in it, so the Church of Light has always been pressed by the royal family。

In fact, the Terrans entered the Ancient Continent without being sniped on a large scale, on the one hand, because of the loss of faith, every god wanted a piece of the pie, and on the other hand, there were still many legendary powerhouses above level 20 in the Terrans, including Lei Ming, although he was a level 23 university scholar with no combat effectiveness...... This is the foundation of the human race's foothold on the mainland.

"Really, you didn't lie to me?" The hammer shook a little suddenly, Lei Ming said very reasonably, anyway, he continued to shrink in the fortress, it is estimated that when those rat people attack again this time next year, the tribe will be destroyed, anyway, the game will be over, so he is still afraid of a hammer? Although he was asking Lei Ming if he lied to him, he didn't need Lei Ming to answer at all, he was already a little moved.

"I know that you dwarves would rather die than change your faith, your devotion to the god of war has always been consistent, so it doesn't matter, I can hire you, in that case, you will not leave the underground world without permission, but at my invitation to leave, you are mainly to build equipment, I will look for the veins for you, don't think about how to restore the glory of the past, at least improve your life every day, right?"

Lei Ming didn't have any selfish intentions this time, he wanted to get benefits from the dwarves, it was nothing more than to earn the difference in the price of some equipment, for a godhead fragment, this benefit was simply not worth mentioning, and only in this way would the dwarves feel that he was genuinely willing to help them, and the dwarves would trust him.

"Let me think, let me think ......" Iron Hammer's mind is wavering, what Thunder said to hire them and the like, that is, a disguise, if there are really gods who look at their dwarves unpleasantly, no matter how many excuses they have, they will be finished, on the one hand, it is expected that the tribe will perish in a year, on the other hand, it is a divine punishment that may not come, it is best to leave before the next attack of the rat people, anyway, they will die, and there is nothing to worry about, but Thunder Ming also has some truth, now is an opportunity, the eyes of the gods are attracted by the huge population of the human race.

Thunder didn't bother him, seeing that Hammer was there alone with his hair and red eyes, tangled to death, he wasn't worried at all, because when Hammer began to get entangled, he had already succeeded, this dwarf was not so stubborn, it can be seen from his willingness to visit Thunder in the middle of the night, as long as he took that step in his heart, it was just a very easy thing to walk towards the sun.

Therefore, on the second day, the goblin merchant, who had rested contentedly for the night, was incredulous to see the dwarves in the entire fortress packing their bags and preparing to leave, he felt incredulous, because he knew that these dwarves had settled here for a long time, and even had already experienced three major battles with the nezumi, and he had already planned that if there was another battle next year, it was estimated that he would have to do business with those nezumi, and as a result, these dwarves were leaving, where could they go?

As the main source of his weaponry, the whereabouts of these dwarves were of great concern to the goblin traders, so he hurried to find the dwarven leader Hammer.

However, the truth surprised him even more.

"What are you talking about? You're saying you're going to that human territory?"

The goblin merchant's eyes rolled quickly, he had tried to recruit these dwarves before, and even gave very favorable conditions, but these stubborn dwarves rejected him very firmly, the human who only appeared here yesterday could make the entire dwarven tribe willing to follow in one night, it seems that the eldest son of the Bourbon family is even more powerful than he thought, and he doesn't know what tricks to use.

"You seem surprised?" Thunder suddenly appeared, startling the goblin trader.

"How did you convince them?" the goblin merchant couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked Thunder quickly in goblin language, he was eager to know what means could convince the stubborn dwarf so easily, if he learned this skill, wouldn't it be invincible to do business in the future?

However, Lei Ming instantly saw through the goblin merchant's careful thoughts, and he said with some amusement: "You think too much, in fact, it's not difficult, as long as you don't think about making money." ”

The goblin merchant who was listening to his ears froze, and asked him not to make money, which was really worse than killing him.

The dense mine holes behind the fortress began to collapse one by one, and the dwarves who died yesterday were also buried in it, in fact, this ore vein has almost been hollowed out by the dwarves, in this dark underground world, they are mining in addition to striking iron, no matter how big the ore vein is, they don't need a huge funeral, and sleeping with the mine is a good home for the dwarves.

Goodbye, the underworld that brings us to tears! In the rumble, the fortress also collapsed.
