Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Minions Mountains

The dwarves are not slow.

Although the dwarves, goblins, and gnomes of the mountain kingdom are often mistaken for the same race, the dwarves are divided between "Wintercastle", "Furnace", and "Genbao", not to mention gnomes and goblins.

The difference is too great.

Dwarves often have the impression of drinking alcohol, fond of metal weapons, and using special spell systems.

Although this sentence cannot be applied to all dwarves, it can roughly summarize the power of dwarves.

The dwarves of Winterhold value metal ores and weapons, but they also value their physique, have stronger bodies, love to drink, and love to fight and fight.

The dwarves of Hearthburgh value weapons more than other dwarves as their own glory, but they have taken advantage of the power of the furnace and fire to make their battle axes, armor, and hammers harder.

The dwarves of Genburg, although the other dwarves also study runes, and will more or less try to engrave runes on weapon armor to strengthen them, but they are the only ones who are deeply involved in the "rune" system and try to make their weapons capable of casting a variety of powerful spell effects.

Physique, weapons are all ways to identify them. From their helmets, they can be distinguished.

Among the seven dwarves, there are two Dwarves from Winterhold, they have a stronger physique than the other dwarves, but the armor and battle hammers on their bodies wear significantly more wear and tear than the other dwarves' equipment, however, they don't care about the dissatisfaction of some of their companions with the wear and tear of their equipment.

Although, their dissatisfaction actually comes from inexplicable laughter about these two Winterhold drunks.

The dwarves with black warhammers on their backs are dressed in the most exaggerated equipment, and the other dwarves are mainly half-body armor, and they are wearing heavy armor that covers almost the whole body.

The dwarf from Hearthcastle, looking at the severed horned helmet above their heads, scolded rather unpleasantly:

"You two drunkards, don't worry about the flying dragons, don't delay things, finding a new mine is the most important thing."

"No, catch two gophers and see where their burrows are!"

However, the two Wintercastle dwarves replied with a mouthful of wine:

"Gophers? Why don't you go find those skinny monkeys and pick up a few? ”

Hearing this, the Hearthcastle dwarves became even angrier.

Gophers are dwarves, creatures with a "sense of smell" for detecting metals and ores, and will place their nests in rock formations with solid metals or minerals, especially on the side of gnomes and humans, and will call them "treasure hunt rats".

Rather than metal, skinny monkeys, no, gnomes prefer architecture and precious stones, all kinds of carvings, all kinds of delicate things, and for ores, only those things that naturally have a texture can interest them.

The treasure hunt rat is an unexpected harvest that the gnomes often bring back together when they explore the "natural building", and it is a relatively common pet on the side of the gnomes.

However, the relationship between the gnomes and the dwarves is not very good, and these "artists" who are fond of architecture and precious stones often go around belittling them, saying that they do not know how to appreciate treasures, and that they throw precious and delicate gems as garbage, but that the black and dirty stones are treasures.

Unlike other races, dwarves place a strong emphasis on a sense of collectivity.

Whether it's the Wintercastle Clan, the Furnace Castle Clan, or the Genburg Clan.

Debelittling and ridiculing a dwarf has a high probability of intensifying into a fight, a fight, or even a life-and-death confrontation with a group of dwarves.

Only the dwarves of the Genbourg clan who are deeply involved in rune spells often come into contact with spellcasters of other races in order to acquire various monster materials, and the relationship is quite normal.

When this topic was mentioned, the three Hearthcastle dwarves in heavy armor couldn't help but turn their eyes to the two dwarves with horned helmets on their heads that appeared to be made of bone or real animal horns.

However, these two seemed somewhat silent and even ...... compared to them Feeling nervous?

"Gordon, what's wrong with you?"

A hearth dwarf asked.

"There may be monsters gathering around here."

The rune dwarf of Genburgh clenched the hatche in his hand, and on it, a strange pattern was flickering slightly.

This rune battle axe of his is engraved with the runes of the "Alert" series.

The principle is to be able to perceive the energy in the external environment, whether it is a large-scale life force or other elements, it is within the range, whether it is already there or suddenly escaped, it will be triggered.

Elements in an environment, regardless of their concentration, eventually move towards a relatively steady state.

To trigger the "Vigilance" rune, it only occurs whenever the elemental homeostasis in the environment is broken.

The dwarves prospecting will bring one or two battle axes engraved with the rune inscriptions of the Alert series, and alternately inject life force into them to maintain its effect and prevent accidents.

As members of the prospecting team, several other dwarves are familiar with this.

Moreover, although this place is not within the territory of the Mountain Kingdom, there are often dwarven adventurers coming and going, and the dwarves who came here for prospecting deliberately investigated the distribution of monsters and other possible dangers here before leaving.

The Kingdom of the Mountains called this area the "Minion Mountains".

It is part of a winding mountain range from north to south, and this ridge is the very end.

It is made up of two very tall peaks shaped like teeth or claws, because the height is very high and steep, not suitable for climbing and giant pillars, and on the south bank is a large river, although the river is very wide, but because the other side of the river is the undead wasteland, even if the river is not frozen in winter, there may be a few "lucky" undead who cross the river.

On the top of the Minions Mountains, there are some wild beast immigrants.

Some of the birds and beasts who left the Beast Empire and the beasts that followed them, for the dwarves, these flying creatures in the sky are not easy to deal with.

This is true of all dwarves, not to mention the monster races near the Minions Mountains.

Is it the air element? Did you happen to meet a beast of the Birds and Beasts flying down from the Minions Mountains?

The dwarves, glancing at each other, tacitly emerged with a similar guess.

Including the two Wintercastle dwarves, whose eyes were slightly cloudy because of drunkenness, also regained their clarity in an instant at this moment-

Driven by will, the life force poured into the rune tattoos carved into the skin of the body, and the rising battle intent dispelled their drunkenness.

Another Genbourg dwarf even took out a runic weapon for tracking and began to try to trace the source energy.

Soon, they discovered the sources that affected the homeostasis of the elements -

Led by a strange bird with black feathers, there are about eight bird-like monsters.

But...... They all seem to have tails?

Monsters?

According to the memories of the dwarves, including the birds and beasts and those wild beasts that follow the birds and beasts, they all do not have long tails.
