Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Demon Palace
From Chu Laopeng's mouth, Winston seemed to hear a remarkable secret, the appearance of the Mind Flayer did not appear by chance, but appeared here with some purpose. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among Chu Laopeng's scattered memory fragments, there is a scene where the Heart Flayer takes him into the depths of the cave, where there is a palace made of skeletons, where all kinds of demons are inhabited like a temple of ten thousand demons, and in the center of the palace is a purple magic array, where the souls of all those devoured by Chupacabra are forcibly detained.
The Mind Flayer received an order from the owner of the Demon Temple to collect fresh life as sacrifices, and many Terran adventurers and visiting dwarves who had entered the area were already imprisoned in a secret cave of the Black Gold Clan.
In order to confirm the authenticity of this memory, Chu Laopeng specially pulled Winston to the forge room, his expression was so urgent that he ignored the people who greeted him along the way.
Dwarves are good at blacksmithing, a gift bestowed upon them by the God of Flame, and even more so as the head of the clan, Chu Laopeng, and his forge room is not far from his residence.
Skillfully opening the delicate device, the earth fire was pulled out of the belly of the mountain, and the entire forge room was turned into a furnace.
Standing in front of the furnace cavity, the eagerness and panic on Chu Laopeng's face disappeared without a trace, and there was only a look of concentration.
He picked and threw the various metals into the flames, and after waiting for the metal to fully dissolve and fuse, he opened the groove and placed the molten iron into a pre-prepared tray.
Water will be poured around the tray to speed up the cooling of the molten iron, and after waiting for the iron plate to basically take shape, Chu Laopeng picked up his hammer and began to forge the fiery iron plate.
"Jingle Bell!"
Chu Laopeng's thrashing is very rhythmic, like painting in the clouds.
Every bit of force in his muscles was just right, and under the attention of the True Vision Dragon Pupil, he could clearly see that the force was fully absorbed by the iron plate under his hammer, and this kind of force was called a divine skill.
It didn't take long for Chu Laopeng's forging to end, and Winston still had a feeling of fascination.
Wiping off the sweat, Chu Laopeng put the thing into the spring water that was drawn from the mountain stream to cool it, and after it was completely finalized, he took another look at it, nodded with a little satisfaction, and handed it to Winston.
Winston was also curious about what he was building, and when he took a look, he was completely impressed by the dwarven blacksmithing technique, which was more like a forging than a carving pattern, on which the hideous and eerie magic temple and the strange magic array were vividly displayed in front of him.
The dwarves were not good at words and descriptions, but Chu Laopeng used his blacksmithing skills to show Winston the darkness he saw.
Winston put away the piece of iron and solemnly promised Chu Laopeng, "I will investigate the purpose of the dark creatures. But you and your people should not come near that place anymore, and it is better to live in another place if you can. ”
Chu Laopeng nodded and said, "I will restrain my clansmen, but this home is the residence of the clansmen inherited from their ancestors, and we will not leave it easily." Don't forget, dwarves have nothing to fear. ”
Looking at Chu Laopeng's determined expression, Winston knew that he couldn't persuade him, but thinking that there was a fire god here, even if it was just a remnant soul, and the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, the dwarf should not suffer when facing the dark forces, so he didn't persuade him anymore.
Chulao Peng freed all those imprisoned in the secret cave, and Granny was among them, followed by two other dwarves.
At first, when they saw Chu Laopeng, they scolded angrily, but after Winston explained, their attitudes eased.
Chu Laopeng stood there with a look of shame on his face, not knowing how to face everyone.
The dwarves are a race of rectums, and their anger comes and goes quickly, knowing that Chu Laopeng did such a thing after being controlled by the Mind Snatcher, he immediately changed his attitude and encouraged Chu Laopeng in turn.
A turmoil calmed down, and the journey to find the elves had been delayed here for a long time, and the group refused Chu Laopeng's retention and moved forward again.
This time through the cave was very smooth, and under the personal guidance of Chu Laopeng, Winston and the others walked out of the dark underground cave.
Taking his confiscated Schrad rappier, Winston said goodbye to Chu Laopeng and set out with the dwarves. As he hurried, Granny introduced Winston to two of his people, Teklin and Truburn.
Teklin was older, and he was still wary of Winston when he listened to Granny's account of how powerful Winston was, while the other dwarf, Terrben, was younger and screamed in surprise at Granny's story, and looked at Winston with reverence.
Just then, a giant bird swooped down from the sky, aiming for Winston.
The Iron Ridge Mountains were full of danger, and Teklin immediately became aware of it, and pulled out his axe and stepped forward to meet it.
Winston laughed, "Don't panic, it's my pet." ”
Aletta rounded Teklin and rushed into Winston's arms with great force.
After a moment in its arms, it fluttered its wings and jumped on Winston's head, grabbing and clawing. In a short time, Winston's neat blonde hair turned into a messy nest of birds.
Because the underground cavern was so narrow that Eleta couldn't fly through it, Winston let it fly over to the other side of the mountain in advance. Looking at the little guy's appearance, he should have waited for a long time to vent his resentment on Winston.
After a day's journey, it was already late, and Winston and the others lit a bonfire and ate the dry food given by the Black Gold Clan.
From time to time there was the sound of insects and beasts roaring in the silent forest, and Winston stirred the bonfire and said, "I'll keep watch for half the night, and you can rest." ”
The straightforward Granny yawned and said, "Well, wake me up in the middle of the night." ”
As the night wore on, the three dwarves had fallen asleep, and Teklin didn't quite believe Winston and tried to keep himself from falling asleep, but after a long time he found that Winston didn't have anything unusual, and finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Winston looked at the ball of light in the storage ring and asked, "Kruger, have you also seen the things that Chu Laopeng gave, what did you find?"
Kruger smiled and said, "It's a pity, I've never seen this kind of magic circle." ”
Winston frowned, collecting life and souls, such words belong to black magic as soon as you hear them, and who can be more proficient than Kruger? Of course, now he's a lich and doesn't need to eat or sleep. But judging from his relaxed attitude now, he must know something, he just doesn't want to tell himself.
What is involved in this circle? Why did Kruger deliberately conceal it? The layers of questions made Winston feel as if a large net had been opened.
"Is this what the mysterious man said about the mutation?"
