Chapter 50: Escaping the Seal
The dwarf king and his ministers immediately understood what the boy meant.
"Leave the names of the six distinguished guests, and we will send the best craftsmen to carve the images of the six in the palace square. Please don't shirk any more, after all, you are the first guests of the dwarf clan in tens of thousands of years, and you may also be the last guests. "At this moment, the dwarf king has regained his true colors as a king, and his meaning is also very clear, as the natal clan of the creation god, from this day on, the dwarf clan will completely give up the idea of leaving here and fully develop the power of machinery.
"Amy. ”
"Stove. ”
"Daqingshan. ”
"Sharuo. ”
"Imonrosa. ”
"Bi. ”
The six adventurers replied in turn. Three 10,000 years later, another great expedition team came to the dwarf kingdom very accidentally, and after seeing the statue of the six heroes sealed in the square, the hidden story of His Excellency Amy, the mercenary king, was unearthed. Fortunately, even if three hundred thousand years have passed, even if three more ten thousand years have passed, the charm of the mercenary king and the holy dragon knight cannot be forgotten by the world, but these noble stories that are buried in the depths and constantly excavated have satisfied the exploration psychology of the world to the greatest extent.
The dwarf king politely said that since he came to the dwarf kingdom, as the host, of course he had the obligation to entertain guests. Leaving immediately like this is really not hospitality. Therefore, they refused to let the adventurers go anyway.
Among them, the one who is most anxious to leave is Miss Bi, who suddenly disappeared as the heir of the kingdom, and it is difficult for the kingdom and the individual to accept. On the contrary, Amy is not in a hurry to leave immediately - of course, according to Daqingshan's understanding, now His Excellency Amy has not sought any benefits from it, how could he choose to leave? Come to think of it, the dwarf kingdom will not be stingy in order to thank a great benefactor like Amy, as the saying goes: an inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time, and Amy has a profound understanding of this famous sentence of life that is absolutely beyond ordinary people. Even if it's 5 days, an hour is 120 minutes, a minute is 60 seconds, a day is 12 hours, 5 days, that's 432,000 seconds, well, converted into purple gold coins, it's also a pretty big piece of gold.
Of course, in order not to affect the plan to seal the dragon, Amy said that she could only stay in the dwarf kingdom for five or six days at most, and it would definitely not work for a long time. I believe that the mechanical power in the dwarf kingdom is so strong, and with the help of flying dragons, even if you get all the gems from all over the country, five or six days will be enough. Amy's heart is fine.
How could the dwarf monarch and minister think that the wise eyes of this eloquent young man in front of him would have such a deep meaning, no wonder, the guests saw the brilliant gems in the sky and showed strange thoughts. The hosts were very happy to be able to keep their distinguished guests.
In the next few days, the dwarf king wanted to invite the guests to visit the kingdom more, but was politely declined by Lord Amy, according to Lord Amy, there are too few opportunities to be a guest in the gnome kingdom, and on such days, you should really sit in a beautiful place with the king and the ministers, drink tea and talk about your heart.
When Amy said this, except for the stove, the other four adventurers all showed disappointed looks on their faces, especially the two girls, Bi and Imonrosa, who had such a good opportunity, and of course they should visit it. Even if it's just a little bit of water, you can see as much as you can, after returning to your own family, you can gather skilled craftsmen, you should be able to copy some machinery, for any family, this is an increase in strength. It's a pity that Amy is worthy of the title of golden brain, and she cleanly erased this possibility. The dwarf king was very sympathetic to Amy, and presumably Amy would have asked His Majesty for information on this at a time alone.
Six days passed quickly, and under the deliberate cultivation, the six guests had become experts in the Underground Kingdom's drinks and drinks.
When the day of farewell came, the dwarf king and the most important people in the kingdom all came to see off the adventurers, and the specifications of the feast exceeded the adventurers' expectations.
In the largest crypt directly north of the dwarf kingdom, eight huge flying dragons flew in the sky, and the two largest dragons jointly pulled up a banner with a few big words on it--I don't know. It is estimated that it is either the language of the ancient gods or the language of the ancient elves. Bi's face changed color slightly after seeing it, and she quickly regained her composure. On the other six dragons, six colored banners fell vertically, and the names of the six adventurers were written in turn.
The dwarf king and the two ministers stood on a high platform, and under the stage, there was a huge stand in the north and south, and looking at the clothes, they should have a considerable status on the stage. Below the stands, there is a sea of gnomes, all waiting for it. It was only at this time that Amy and the others learned from the gnome guards that thousands of gnomes in the kingdom had been busy for three days in preparation for this farewell.
The news of the feast for the guests was sent to all corners of the kingdom five days in advance. There is a myth about the king who can open the seal in this legend, which has been circulating in the kingdom for tens of thousands of years, and every dwarf has heard similar stories from his elders when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he could see the king with his own eyes in his own generation, and the dwarfs will certainly not give up this opportunity.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" the dwarf king stood on the highest step, and by some means, every word he uttered sounded simultaneously around the cave.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, there was an ancient book from the divine realm that recorded this myth: one day, a king will come to our kingdom and will break the seal with his own hands. "The old legend immediately silenced the gathering of tens of thousands of people.
"A few days ago, the king did appear, and his arrival was more important than the oracle foretold. He not only opened the confinement of the kingdom's space, but more importantly, he opened the ideological seal of the Heavenly Pride Clan. It is a pity, it is a great pity that His Excellency Amy has always refused to accept the throne, it seems that he prefers life on the ground, and we believe that as the king of the gods, in human society, His Excellency Amy must also have a very noble status and extremely important things, therefore, we must respect his choice. ”
"Today, I am very honored to announce that His Excellency Amy, the king of the myth, will officially become the lifelong emperor of the dwarf kingdom - the king of liberation. He will have all the rights of a dwarf emperor!" the gnomes in the audience applauded wildly, and the children stood on the heads of the adults, waving desperately at the adventurers on the stage.
"His Majesty the Liberation King has decided to leave the Gnome Kingdom today, and now we respectfully send His Majesty the Liberation King to heaven!"
"Your Majesty is invited to ascend to heaven!"
"Your Majesty is invited to ascend to heaven!"
The gnomes in the audience issued a neat and unanimous slogan.
"What did he say?" Amy suspected that something was wrong with her ears and hurriedly pulled Daqingshan.
"Like...... It is the ascension. ”
"What do they mean?" Not only Amy, but even the stove's face changed slightly. When I walked on this platform just now, I found that the platform was surrounded by huge incense trees, which would not ...... No, these damn gnomes think that only by being burned can they finally break free from the seal.
With a smile on his face, the dwarf king walked to the adventurer's platform, and finally shook hands with Amy and said goodbye: "Your Majesty the Liberation King, I really hope that one day, when you feel tired outside, you can think of this and come back here, really, I believe that our old friends who have been friends for seven days must still miss you in the last moments of our lives." I've decided to step down. Tomorrow, His Majesty the King of this 10,000-year-old empire will be my 197th grandson, you can rest assured. These are small gifts from the Gnome Kingdom to six guests. With a wave of his hand, the king was accompanied by six trays of scorching jewels, each of which was the largest of all, of course.
Amy smiled and said to the dwarf king, "As a guest, I can't take these things. However, as a little mercenary, I believe that every effort I deserve to be duly rewarded, which is the honor of my profession. Rest assured, I will do my best to break the seal. ”
In a few days, the dwarf king also understood the temper of this young man - everything must be good, but he absolutely pays attention to a gentleman's love of money and takes it in a good way, and acquiesced to this statement with a smile: "Well, His Majesty the Liberation King is indeed the most professional mercenary I have ever seen. Well, there is also a manuscript and a map here, which are drawings of the machinery created by the dwarf kingdom over thousands of years, and according to our understanding, these machines have surpassed the tools used by humans. The map, is it a map of the mineral deposits, or did we draw it before the kingdom was sealed? ”
Amy asked the stove to come over and look at the map, and the stove's eyes immediately lit up: "Kelesit Mine Seedling Map! ”
As a dwarf, the affection for Kelesit is unparalleled, and this raw ore means beautiful armor, and the furnace wants to burrow its head into the map...... Unfortunately, the map was gently withdrawn, and Amy nodded slightly to the stove in apology, and casually stuffed the map into Daqingshan's arms. Of course, this map can't be written down by the furnace, with the arrogance of the dwarves, as soon as this guy returns to the dwarf kingdom, these treasure mines will not be immediately excavated by the dwarves?
Amy finally picked up the thick manuscript and asked softly, "Your Majesty, you gave me this manuscript, is there a copy of it in the Gnome Kingdom?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Amy's white and powerful ten fingers grabbed both sides of the manuscript, hiss-hiss-under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, the manuscript was torn into countless thin strips, Amy smiled and held it in both hands, and scattered violently, and the people below who didn't know what happened thought that this was the last souvenir of the Liberation King for everyone, and they all laughed and jumped to pick it up.
"Your Majesty, I thank you very much for your kindness. I don't know what others will do, and I'm not going to bring this mechanical power out of the dwarf kingdom. Your Majesty, things of the human category may be difficult to learn, but as long as things that are related to war are learned too quickly. Once these machines are obtained by humans, they must be used in war in the shortest possible time. I think that when the time comes, not only will more innocent humans die, but also races such as the Dwarf Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom, which are relatively more dependent on their own conditions, will inevitably be threatened by these machines. After a pause, Amy continued: "Your Majesty, the best place for dwarves to live is still in the mines, and the best place for elves is still the fairy forest, and the same is true for dwarves. I don't know why, human beings can't be satisfied with the status quo, they must constantly expand their territory, they must invade others to physically destroy the enemy, it seems that only in this way can they live a better life. Lack of heart...... It's better to give mankind less weapons of war. ”
No one could have imagined that His Excellency Amy, who had made a name for himself through several wars, would say such a thing. There was a moment of silence on the stage.
Seeing the cold scene, the dwarf king laughed: "Your Majesty the Liberation King, you are definitely an outlier among the human beings I know. Alas...... If there really is a common king in the world, and this king is Your Majesty, this should be a great blessing for the people of the world. Your Majesty, directly above this cave is the sealing point, and the platform we are standing on now is a huge flying machine, and in a moment, we will cut the cable below, and the aircraft will fly all the way up. At high altitude, or the Gangfeng I mentioned before, it was very strong, and my people could not resist this cold snap at all. You have to hold on, there are clothes in the aircraft, I hope it will help you somewhat. When you climb to 1,300 meters, you can see a huge platform on top of Gangfeng, where it is said that there were gods in those days, and it is the only place in the entire kingdom that we have not explored. I suspect it may be the only way to break the seal. There is enough food on the aircraft to stay on the platform for at least ten days, but remember, the aircraft will start to descend automatically on the morning of the seventh day, and if the seal is not opened in the end, please be sure to return to the aircraft. ”
With that, the dwarven king jumped off the huge flying machine. There are small gnomes on both sides of the aircraft that lit a series of fragrant wood, the fragrant wood has long been sprinkled with sesame oil, and a strange fragrance soon filled the entire hall, and the flames quickly strung several people high, and the platform slammed upward, and the gnomes below immediately picked up the big axe and cut off the cables tied around, and the aircraft slowly left the ground in a shaky manner.
The adventurers quickly found clothes to protect them from the cold, and the clothes were much more than they imagined, and the sizes were all right, especially for the ladies, who even needed to be described as bright. Obviously, the inhabitants of the dwarf kingdom themselves would not need such large clothes, which should have been prepared by the hospitable hosts in six days.
The flying machine rose quite quickly, and the gnomes quickly disappeared from the eyes of the adventurers. Except for the sparkling light below, everything else was pitch black. The air conditioning was getting thicker and thicker, and the adventurers immediately began to get dressed. It wasn't long before the adventurers saw the hot breath coming out of their breaths in the dim light of the fire.
Suddenly, the huge flying machine was violently pushed and began to shake violently - Gangfeng brought it. The stove was short, and all the iron armor on his body was taken off and put on it again, and he didn't get used to his weight, and before he could grab the handle on the spiral ladder of the aircraft, he was thrown out and hit the guardrail headlong, Amy changed hands four times in a row, approached the stove, and squeezed him tightly into the corner of the guardrail with his body.
The formation of Gangfeng is difficult to study, and according to the estimation of some wind magisters, places with Gangfeng are often surrounded by wind outlets. In order to pass through the tuyere, thousands of troops and horses killed the single-plank bridge, and the air flow became rapid in an instant.
Different Gangfeng have different characteristics, there is a famous red sand Gangfeng belt in the valley near the known Desert Empire, every 1 hour after the red sun goes down, Gangfeng appears on time, if someone has not left the valley at this time, there is absolutely no chance of survival. There was once a good deed person from southern Xinjiang fainted a huge swift dragon, with an iron cage locked in the Gangfeng belt, as a result, the next day to check the results, the iron cage was completely blown out of shape, like a puddle of mud collapsed on the ground, the arm thick iron rod was red sand out of pits, the dragon ...... The poor animal was blown out of its cage - in dismemberment, of course, and the furthest part of its limbs was found outside the valley.
As far as the actual situation is concerned, there is snow above the snow line of the Maciss Snow Mountain all year round, and it is cold at the top and hot at the bottom. The cold air slowly sinks with the mountain, constantly being fused with the hot air below. A special situation arose at the eastern foothills of the Snow Mountain, where all the cold air from the eastern foothills converged and slowly sank to the valley floor due to the appearance of this huge canyon outside of Christo. The valley bottom is impermeable, and under normal circumstances, the valley bottom will be ice that will not melt for thousands of years. However, there is also a rushing mountain stream at the bottom of the valley, and the temperature of the mountain stream itself is constant, and the cold air flow and the moist air flow brought by the mountain stream form a balance at a certain height, and it is here that the Gangfeng wind is generated, which is not difficult to understand why it is so cold.
The icy perch pierced the adventurer's exposed skin almost at the same moment, and the pain of pins and needles was almost unbearable for humans. Even a powerful dwarven warrior as strong as a furnace could not help but let out a cry of pain - the adventurers could see their companions moaning in pain just like themselves, but they could not hear any sound, and the wind had blown away all the words.
The damage caused by the wind was not only the cold, but also the violent shaking - for some reason, the dwarf king did not say this just now, and perhaps they did not know. The huge flying machine was like a small piece of paper that was swayed in the air by the wind, sometimes up and down, sometimes spinning rapidly...... Even though they had the titles of Phantom Beast Knight and Dragon Knight, even though they had the title of the shocking king, even though they had unrivaled supreme bravery, the six adventurers all vomited out almost at the same moment, and the vomit of various colors formed into a white ice lump when it landed.
The adventurer's eyes went dark, and the last red lantern was also torn by the wind, and the candle disappeared in an instant. Amy, Saruo, and Bi all want to sing the magic of lighting again...... The voice was frozen in his mouth.
The cold air had already ignored the cold-proof clothing and pierced directly into the adventurer's skin, Bi and the furnace were frozen almost at the same time, and the people from southern Xinjiang and the underground must have been less resistant to low temperatures. Sha Ruo held Bi's waist with one hand, and pulled the fence with the other hand, Da Qingshan was worried that his girlfriend would not be able to bear the cold, so he also separated one hand to hold Sha Ruo's waist.
In the wind, a mast suddenly fell silently, and it was not until the last moment that she saw the giant tree smashing at her with the corner of her eye, and she was so frightened that she immediately let go of her hand to dodge, Gangfeng didn't give the girl any chance at all, and viciously grabbed her petite body and dragged it outside. At this moment of life and death, the girl's martial arts ability suddenly appeared, and her two feet hooked the fence at the last moment, and her body was completely hanging outside. Amy was the first to notice the accident, grabbing the girl's ankle with one hand, and grabbing the girl's other ankle with the other hand around the fence.
At this moment, almost all of them have subconsciously decided that they simply cannot fight the cold and strong winds anymore.
The aircraft shook violently, and suddenly became stable, as if it had broken away from the Gangfeng Belt.
The moist and warm air currents came to the adventurer again, and Amy, with the help of Daqingshan, pulled Imonrosa back from the outside of the fence. The girl was so frightened that her face turned extremely pale, and as soon as she landed, she cried out. Sha Ruo whispered to comfort the girl.
At this moment, another unexpected thing happened, the speed of the aircraft suddenly slowed down, and there was even a faint downward trend, and the bottom of the aircraft was about to enter the wind belt again, shaking.
Amy reluctantly summoned a wind dragon, which was already the maximum amount summoned by a first-level magician in the natural department, and then added a wizard fire to the wind dragon. The wind dragon rose into the sky with flames, and after dozens of breaths, Amy could already see the platform mentioned by the dwarf king. And the distance here is at least 400 meters.
Daqingshan took off the cotton clothes without saying a word and threw them out, Amy immediately understood, and also took off all the cotton clothes and threw them down one by one. The aircraft then began to slowly ascend again, but it was still not fast.
Amy threw the ice blade to Daqingshan again, and the two of them cut down all the upright and useless wooden stakes and spiral ladders on the aircraft in a very short time and threw them outside--at this time, the two teenagers couldn't care whether these things would break the heads and brains of their dwarf brothers and sisters if they fell, and the poor little ones could only pray for their own blessings. The aircraft finally returned to its initial speed.
The moment the wind dragon's magic vanished, the aircraft finally came to the platform, and the adventurers quickly jumped onto the platform - and finally stepped on the ground, and everyone felt like they were dead. Everyone, including the girl, lay on the ground, completely relaxed their tense nerves before observing this mysterious place.
The platform is quite large, with a diameter of nearly 600 meters, and it is incredulous to the adventurers that it has no contact with the surrounding area of the cave, but is suspended in the air. A stone weighing tens of thousands of catties has been suspended here for tens of thousands of years, and this kind of power is definitely not something that human beings can have. Shock, invaded the eyes of the six adventurers at the same time, such a thing can only be explained by miracles.
Although the dwarf king did not discover the secret of the platform itself, he guessed one thing correctly - in the middle of the platform, there was a huge magic array, which was different from the pentagonal and hexagonal magic arrays set up by magicians now, this was a seven-sided magic array. The light blue pillar of light formed the edge of the magic array, the seven sides of the magic array fell to the ground, the center sharpened, and the blue pillar of light flickered, and the magic array slowly rotated.
Next to the magic array, there is a half-human-high piece of metal engraved with the words of the sealer, which is the common text of ancient humans: "Congratulations, dear magician friend. Your arrival proves that the magic tide has once again come to our world. Go on...... Please continue...... This ancient game...... As fellow magicians from a long time ago, we have to seriously remind you that if you don't have enough magical abilities, it's best to leave a last word. ”
Behind this text, which I don't know whether it was welcome or threatened, was followed by a short and very simple and straightforward sentence: "Please put your hands on the magic circle. ”
There are only two magicians here, Bi and Amy, in terms of the magician class, Bi has become a very rare number of great magicians, and Amy is already a young first-class magician. At the age of early 20s, most magicians are still studying in the ranks of magic apprentices or second-level magicians, and by this standard, both young people are quite good, of course, such an outlier as Bi is rare for ten thousand years.
Bi pursed her lips: "I'll come." ”
Amy glanced at the girl, the cold of the wind still left a lot of damage to the girl, and her face was extremely pale: "Or, I'll try it first, if I can't do it, you come again." ”
"No need. After all, I'm already a great magician. Bi Jing turned to face the magic array.
Amy and Da Qingshan glanced at each other, and their eyes showed endless flavors.
An enemy is an enemy, and the different positions of both sides must be taken into account at all times. There must be only one reason why Bi is so determined at this time - Amy's courtesy in the Gnome Kingdom. Originally, only Bi knew the powerful ancient gods, but because of Amy's momentary "kindness", it was Amy who opened the magic array. Suppose that Bi insisted on it at that time? Wouldn't Bi be the liberated king of the dwarf kingdom? According to this hypothesis, Bi might really accept the dwarf king's concession. So, doesn't he have the power of the entire mechanical kingdom, and as for the kelesit mine, it is in Miss Bi's bag.
This reason is quite simple, except for the big iron like the stove, I don't understand, the other two girls also think of it.
The stance is really a strange thing, it stands to reason that adventurers must open the magic enchantment to be able to leave here, but, even under the position of the monster, at least more than half of the adventurers are not willing to open the enchantment and benefit - and this is almost impossible, according to that message that has existed for tens of thousands of years, those who pass this test will definitely get quite a generous reward. And in fact, there is indeed a huge gap between Amy's magic ability and Bi, if it is really as everyone thinks, Bi does not benefit from it, then she must not be able to open the enchantment, and Amy has no ability to open it, then wouldn't everyone be trapped here?
Contradiction...... Only under the peculiar selfishness of human beings can there be such contradictions...... And this contradiction is simply unavoidable......
Bi, a pair of extremely white little hands that could be broken by blowing a bullet slowly pushed towards the magic array......
