Chapter 637: Gnomes

After passing through the labyrinth, everything in front of me suddenly opened up——— the original narrow tunnels were gone, replaced by a vast and vast underground cavity, and in front of the towering mountain walls was an almost cliff-like bottomless abyss, but no one was in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery at the moment.

"Hey, I say, what the hell is that?"

Rose still couldn't help but ask, she hadn't acted with Duanmu Huai much, or that Rose had been sealed in the card most of the time didn't know much about the outside world at all. But even so, she could still spot the horrors of those black warriors——— at least Rose was sure that each of them had the ability to take out them at will.

"That's our enemy, the enemy we will inevitably encounter in the future."

Duanmu Huai looked at the dungeon in the distance.

"Everything we're doing now is to be able to lay a good foundation when we fight them."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai's expression was a little dignified, although it was just an illusion in his memory, but it was already able to explain a lot of problems. [Crowd Wide Clothes Untie] didn't work for them at all, [Old God's Will] was directly immune, and only [Dread Aura] could affect them for a second.

The biggest possibility of this is that the level of [God of Pleasure] and [Will of the Old God] is too low, and only when [God of Destruction] reaches medium divine power, it can barely fight the black warriors. Because there is no army of players in this world, Duanmu Huai can only rely on himself, so the only thing he can do is to raise the level of his other two priesthoods as soon as possible, and find a way to restrain the corrupted priesthood.

To be honest, it's not an easy task.

"You're going to fight that kind of thing, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Death is already a good blessing for the world."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"First, it's my duty, and secondly......... I don't go to them, they will come to me. ”

It's only a matter of time before the Eye of Fear revives again, so for Duanmu Huai, it's basically a countdown task, and once the countdown is over, it doesn't matter if you want to or not, because the other party will take the initiative to come to you to chat.

You can't hide.

"You're really unlucky to come across such a monster."

"It's the world that is unlucky, not me, when they come back, everyone will die together, don't think you can stay out of it."

"Uh......... No way. ”

Hearing this, the flail's face turned pale directly.

"Or what do you think I'm running around for? Is it not good to have this time to stay at home for retirement and leisure? ”

Duanmu Huai silently looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, this world is really an unlucky place, and he is also very unlucky to cross into this world......... But what else can be done? Now he has no other way but to try to strengthen himself. Duanmu Huai is actually not very good at large army combat, he is not the kind of person who likes to command large guild operations, so he has always acted as a single person.

In fact, Duanmu Huai prefers that the Human Empire can stand up, and then the Inquisition will be responsible for assisting——— Well, now this is all a fantasy, and he has no other choice than self-reliance.

Ogis didn't seem to care about any of this, she just looked quietly ahead before speaking.

"There is light."

"Oh?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked ahead, and sure enough, in the depths of the dark and dark land, he saw a faint light, the orange-red, flame-like light like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding everyone forward——— or like a dangerous bait, luring the ignorant to pounce on destruction and death like moths.

Each time the gate of the underground labyrinth is opened, it leads to a different road, and the locust has not walked this road, and I don't know what lies ahead.

"Let's go check it out and hope we get lucky."

Duanmu Huai cheered up at this moment, and the confrontation with Chaos was indeed easy to make people sad, especially considering the endless fighting and death, but the advantage of Duanmu Huai was that he didn't pay much attention to these things that would only happen in the future. He is more focused on the present and the past, which is also very similar to the abilities he has acquired. It's just that Duanmu Huai does not worry about the future like treacherous tricks, and for Duanmu Huai, the distant future will never be a problem.

It will only be a problem if the future becomes the present.

And now, Duanmu Huai's only thought is to find a city of gray dwarves or drow elves or mind flayers as soon as possible, and go on a killing spree in it, enjoying the miserable wails and deaths of those dirty, corrupt, depraved and evil underground aliens.

Unfortunately, his luck was not good at all.

The stone gate in front of him was huge and majestic, thick and strong enough to withstand all attacks. However, the creatures standing in front of Duanmu Huai are shorter than the dwarves, and their thin bodies do not have any sense of battle when they look at them, although they hold spears and short swords, but for Duanmu Huai——— a group of kittens and dogs have no deterrent power at all.

"It's a dwarf, and it's bad luck."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently, the vast majority of people living in the dark region are evil creatures, except for two races, one is a dwarf and the other is a dwarf.

The situation of dwarves is well known, mining, being good at casting, and being as stubborn as stone is the biggest stereotype of outsiders about them, although it is not far from the truth.

Gnomes are a little different in that they are optimistic by nature and love to carve gemstones, but it is important to note that they were one of the first races on the planet to start experimenting and industrializing science.

Logically speaking, once any civilized race has mastered industrialization, it should advance by leaps and bounds. But in fact, the strength of the dwarf is very subtle, it is a little lower than the dwarf, but it is enough to protect itself from being destroyed by other cities in the dark region, but it stops there. And logically speaking, assuming that the gnomes really have strong mechanical manufacturing capabilities, then it will not be a problem to sweep through the entire dark region.

But they can't.

The reason is simple, that is, the industrialization of the gnomes has not been smooth.

For example, gnomes once created cranes to move large stones——— which was necessary given their short, thin size.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is so easy to use that it should soon be popularized among the dwarf clan, but this is not the case. Unlike the neurotic self-preservation of the Cult of the Mechanicus, the biggest problem with the dwarf's invention is that ——— can't be copied.

One dwarf creates some kind of machinery, and the other dwarf will eventually fail even if it is built with the same materials, the same structure, and the same techniques.

This is a very strange thing, because by the standards of industrialization, it should not be like this.

This is also one of the reasons why, until now, the technological level of the entire Faren Continent and even this planet is not very high.

If Manalia and the Holy City are simply too short in time and have not yet reached this level to fall behind, then Faeron feels more artificial.

In fact, there have been rumors among players for a long time that the reason why Faeron could not successfully carry out the industrial revolution is because the gods, they clearly saw the threat posed by the industrial revolution to the gods, the gods of this world need the power of faith, and once the civilization succeeds in industrialization, their dependence on the gods will decline, so these gods have teamed up to carry out some kind of curse or enchantment on this world, resulting in on this planet, any attempt at the industrial revolution will end in nothing, like a dwarf, A machine cannot be perfectly copied, and even if it is made by knowing the principle, it will only fail or be destroyed accidentally.

Over time, the creatures of this world have become accustomed to this situation, and in their common sense——— there will always be all kinds of problems with this "gadget", and this is common sense, just as unwavering as an apple will fall from a tree to the ground.

Well, Duanmu Huai had no interest in that, but finding a dwarf did disappoint him, at least that meant he couldn't carry out a heart-warming massacre of the city.

"Hey, little one."

Duanmu reached out and grabbed one of the guards, who struggled on his steel palms like a fat hamster.

"I'm not interested in your city, so I just wanted to ask the question, are there any good places nearby?"

"You, what are you talking about?? What's the good place? ”

"Drow, gray dwarf, mind snatcher, really can't goblins, that goddamn people, the gathering place of the evil race that should keep their bodies burning in the flames forever, I think you must know the situation around here."

Duanmu Huai stared at the soldiers in front of him, and asked in a low voice, and at this moment, the other gnomes had also raised their weapons and looked at Duanmu Huai in disbelief, but Duanmu Huai didn't care about the reaction of these gnomes, O'Gis just sat on her shoulder and admired the gate in front of her, while Rose stood behind Duanmu Huai, two short swords flew up and down in her hands——— did not hide her contempt for this group of gnomes.

At least in the eyes of the flail, this group of gnomes was far worse than the Black Iron Giant who had just fought Duanmu Huai.

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the guard trembled even more, Drow himself was the great enemy of the dwarfs, and the Mind Flayer was even more terrifying, and the gray dwarves were relatively better, but the dwarves were not willing to deal with them. He looked at Duanmu Huai's eyes as if he was looking at a madman——— as ridiculous and horrified as a human on the surface who heard that he was going to slay a dragon.

"To answer my question, dwarf, I'm not in a good mood right now."

The battle with the Black Army just now made Duanmu Huai feel very bad, and the aura of fear had begun to overflow around him, and those dwarfs were also trembling at the moment, and they even wanted to throw down their weapons and turn around and run.

"You're acting rudely, visitor."

At this moment, a voice sounded, Duanmu Huai raised his head, only to see a crack open in the huge stone door, and then a dwarf walked out.

"I'm just here to ask for directions."

Duanmu Huai put down the dwarf guard in his hand.

"Give me an answer, and I'll leave at once, but I hope you don't deceive me, and though I have no hostility toward gnomes, the Inquisition will not tolerate deception."

"Aren't you afraid that I will lead you into the cave of the red dragon and let its flames burn you out?"

"If you could show me the way to the Red Dragon's Lair, I'd be grateful."

Duanmu Huai is telling the truth, this kind of thing like dragon slaying is something that a player can't walk on, if this dwarf really tricks him into going to the dragon's nest, then it's too late for him to thank the other party.

"Strange people."

The dwarf captain stared at Duanmu Huai suspiciously, he had seen many adventurers coming from outside, but no one had a strange combination like theirs, and ......... Very dangerous.

"I can give you a map, but only the area around the city, and you should understand that we won't venture to those dangerous places."

"I understand that it is enough to have a general direction, and we can do the rest ourselves."

It's a big deal to grab a tongue and ask questions, which is the Inquisitor's specialty.

"Okay, you guys......... Not the first adventurers I've seen in the Dark Realms, but I would like to warn you that the Dark Realms are more dangerous than you think. ”

"Thank you for your advice."

Duanmu Huai took the map handed by the dwarf captain, nodded, and then turned to leave, while the flail glanced at them and followed behind Duanmu Huai.

Seeing the figures of the three disappear into the shadows of the tunnel, all the gnomes breathed a sigh of relief.

"The stone is on it, I thought I was going to die."

The dwarf soldier who was caught in Duanmu Huai's hand couldn't even stand up at this time, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"Alright, stand up, it's your responsibility to guard the gates!"

The gnome captain glanced at the vanished figure in the tunnel, withdrew his gaze and angrily scolded his men.

He had a hunch that he would see each other again in the future.
