At the same time that the Western Emperor's base camp remotely controlled the multi-way army to surround Chi Aotian from all sides, Horns, who was thousands of miles away, unknowingly fell into a huge quagmire.

Horns, who attended the recommendation meeting of the new king of the mountain dwarf kingdom as the third heir to the throne of the king of the forest dwarf kingdom, was received by the dwarven elders with a very high standard, and the double representative of the Amy Empire and the forest elf kingdom, Sha Ruo, was not treated coldly in the cave more than 200 meters underground, and the dwarf knight leader Furnace followed suit, most of the time there is no need for Sha Ruo to introduce himself, the furnace will definitely tell people such as the lover of the first dragon knight of the ages, the representatives of the two kingdoms, and so on. The elders were surprised that this weak girl was holding two Kingdom invitations at the same time, and they also noticed the white robes on her body.

Priest? Isn't that a member of the Holy See? Isn't the Amy Empire in pain with the Holy See? It seems that this girl is still very close to His Highness Horns.

One day in the cave, the world has been a thousand years. A few days in the Gnome Kingdom, and another half day in the Magic Empire - in order for the Magic Empire to wait for the Magic Empire to be passed on, that place was released by many archmages to compress time and space, and one day was basically equal to one month in the earthly world. At this time, it has been more than a month since the dwarf king was assassinated.

Most of the kingdoms that received the invitations sent their condolences through unique channels, but due to continental disputes and the fact that these empires were far away from the dwarven kingdoms, it was impossible to send royal children as envoys. In comparison, Horns is the one with the highest status.

As soon as Horns entered the underground palace of the dwarven kingdom, he already felt an uneasy aura permeating the place. The Wise Dwarf's biggest weakness is that he is extremely insensitive to politics, and looking at the enthusiastic smiles of the seven elders, Horns really doesn't know what to do.

"Hmph...... If Amy didn't participate in any dragon sealing, he probably wouldn't have to worry so much about himself. Horns immediately came up with this thought: "Even if Amy is not here, it would be a good thing to think about it if Lu'er is here." "It's a pity that only the poor dwarf and Sharuo, who is clearly out of the way, are now under the weight of the 10,000-year-old rock.

About the next night after reaching the earth, when I couldn't see the sun anyway, everything was judged by my own feelings. The Seven Great Elders summoned five nations, or four representatives, to the Dwarven Palace to attend the new king's recommendation meeting.

Dwarves like to forge fine and high-quality tools, especially weapons, but they don't like to live in luxury. Like the Forest Dwarven Kingdom, the royal palace is only larger than the dwellings of ordinary dwarves. The seven elders sat at the long table, the chief elder sat at the far right of the long table, and the leftmost hand position was vacant, if nothing else, someone would be sitting there after today.

Unfortunately, there was an accident.

The four envoys were seated on stone chairs outside the long table, one from the Druid tribe and the other from the Berserker Kingdom, with the exception of Horns and Sharuo, an elder from the Druid tribe, and the other was a general from the Berserker Kingdom, both of which were located on the continent of Eminole, and they did their best to arrive. The big man's huge ass stuffed the small stone chair to the brim, and Horns smiled and nodded at him, but he didn't expect that the other party would misunderstand that Horns looked good at him, and glared fiercely.

Horns, who encountered an unwarranted disaster, subconsciously touched his nose, and the dwarf and Amy learned this bad habit, I am afraid they can't change it.

"Loving Father, in thy will, thy children and grandchildren, while abandoning the sun, seek the light of the stars in the darkness of the earth. Father, bless your people in the realm of God in the Most High God. Enlightenment. The Great Elder prayed to heaven with his hands folded in prayer.

The other six mountain dwarves in the audience clasped their hands together at the same time, followed the elders, and said reverently, "Hinda." ”

The dwarves of the world are a family. In the Demon God War tens of thousands of years ago, all the intelligent life in the creation god world participated in the war, adhering to the will of the creation god, in addition to the troops who participated in the battle head-on, the other tribes went to the world's major mineral deposits to collect metal ore, and were responsible for manufacturing weapons for war, at that time, the fire god Muros and the sun god were entrusted by the creation god to directly guide the dwarf tribe forging technology, that is, from that time, the dwarf kingdom flowers and leaves, forming two major branches, and legend, the two supreme gods have left their own blood in the dwarf kingdom。

"God the Father has mercy, the King of our country, from the distant and great Kelesit tripartite. Twenty thousand years ago, His Majesty's great ancestor went deep into the heart of the lava underground, and through great hardships, he obtained the indestructible essence of earth fire, but ...... Today......" Tears welled up in the old dwarf's pale yellow eyes.

The dwarven elders wept?

The three non-dwarven representatives were all extremely disturbed, and they had all heard the story that during that expedition, the dwarven knight Mahatma of the three of Kelesit not only lost his brother, but also lost a left hand, which he used to retrieve, and it was with the help of the Earth Fire Essence that the Kelesit ore was refined.

It's just that the details of the dwarven elders' tears still make them extremely uneasy, and the dwarves, the most stoic race in the legend, are so that most people in the world think that the dwarves are not weeping.

Following the gaze of the dwarven elders, everyone found that there was a huge stone pillar on the far left hand of the cave, and the dark stone basin was empty.

"The Earth Fire Essence was extinguished at the same time as the royal bloodline was lost. The Great Elder took a deep breath: "Now, there are three major problems in front of the Ten Thousand Years Kingdom. First, elect a new king, and second......" The Great Elder raised his voice violently, and the dwarven voice echoed in the empty crypt: "Blood debt is paid by blood!

There was silence in the hall.

"And thirdly, find a way to retrieve the Earth Fire Essence. The dwarven elder's facial expression was extremely serious.

If the second problem is still possible, the third problem seems to be impossible to complete. Otherwise...... The history of the dwarven kingdom is very long, and it can almost be used with adjectives like heaven and earth and longevity, and in such a long history, how many people have obtained the essence of earth fire? It's not that no one has tried it, and all those who have tried it have died underground.

Hey...... If you really want to be able to retrieve the Earth Fire Essence, then what is the first problem, whoever takes it back will sit in this position. Everyone has such thoughts, but it's just hard to say.

"Elder, perhaps, I can think of a way. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent. When they saw the speaker, almost every dwarf had the word "usurpation" in their hearts.

It was Horns who stood up, the heir to the throne of the Forest Dwarven Kingdom.

Sha Ruo was so angry next to him that the roots of his teeth itched, this is Horns, if it was Amy and Da Qingshan, Sha Ruo would be eager to give a kick - alas...... Where would Amy and Daqingshan make such a mistake.

What's wrong with this Horns, why is he so unenlightened when he encounters political affairs? As the heir to the throne of the Forest Dwarf Kingdom, he actually wants to help the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom solve the royal family problem once and for all, such an act is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a wolf's ambition.

"Ahem......" Sha Ruo cleared his voice and asked a question tactfully: "Your Excellency Horns, do you say this as the heir to the throne of the Forest Dwarf Kingdom, or as the second deputy leader of the A-class mercenary group?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the hall suddenly relaxed.

The seven elders quickly flipped through some information in their minds, the forest dwarf royal family is really strange, most of them are enthusiastic about the mercenary career, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the head of an A-level mercenary group, and the crown prince's younger brother is the deputy head of this mercenary group, and the prince's son has also been in the mercenary world for more than 200 years, and finally returned to the kingdom as an A-level mercenary to assist His Majesty the King in managing the empire, and the young son of the crown prince in front of him actually established another A-level mercenary group with several other teenagers in just a few years。

"Hey...... The dwarf immediately realized that he had made a mistake, which is all to blame Amy, since this guy irresponsibly and blatantly slipped back to the frozen continent under the pretext of being heavy and light on friends, the economic burden of the small mercenary group was handed over to Horns and Daqingshan, to find food for thousands of mouths, this task is not light, especially after the bloody night in the imperial capital, the only station of the small mercenary group was turned into a temporary national capital by the big heads of the empire, completely forgetting the reward half a month ago, and what is even worse is that the imperial monarchs and ministers who escaped are poor to death one by one, and General Chi Hanfeng finally got the little money for the little mercenary group...... Alas...... If you don't want to, it will only increase your sadness. Daqingshan returned to the Ice and Snow Continent, and in the past two months, the dwarf faced the ledger and lived like a year...... The small mercenary group is not the kind of F, G-level small group, if you have no money, you can make do with it for a few days, even if the grain and grass are uniformly allocated by the Imperial Military Department, but what about other expenses?

The dwarf was driven crazy by the captains below, and everything was going to be good, and the result was ...... Without paying attention, he actually made the business to the mountain dwarf kingdom: "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I always thought this was a mercenary guild?" Horns couldn't bear to say the following words: "If you really can't do it, let's leave this task to us, we are a well-known A-level mercenary group, as long as the money is enough, anything can be done." ”

Several elders looked at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces, the idea of Your Excellency the Heir to the Forest Dwarf Throne is really tempting. However, if you think about it, you can't do that. Not to mention that this matter involves the succession to the throne, even if the task is handed over through the mercenary guild, if Horns and his mercenary group are really completed by mistake, then when they see their fellow forest dwarves in the future, all the mountain dwarves will not have to bow their heads for a lifetime. No, you can't do this, otherwise, you will be poked in the backbone by the juniors when you are alive, and you will be shaved off when you are about to be buried after death.

The seven elders all had the same look in their eyes and shook their heads silently.

"We, at the moment, have three candidates for the throne. His Excellency the Great Elder's thick fingers subconsciously knocked on the table: "According to the tradition of the Dwarf Kingdom, the heir to the throne must have the blood of a hero, as long as the hero family still leaves a drop of butter in the ashes of the bonfire, even a mouse will not eat, and the throne must be inherited by him......"

There is indeed such a saying among a race like the dwarves who are known for their loyalty, kindness, and simplicity, which is why Horns has the right to inherit the dwarven throne from the day he was born.

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and continued, "Our beloved Dwarven King's entire clan was poisoned by the evil Western Emperor. Then the bloodline of the Mahatma who is the three of Kelesit is completely gone. Muduo, two of the three Kelesit, did not have time to leave his bloodline and died in the latter part of the Demon War, and Wakotai, the third of the three Kelesit, left behind two sons, and these two children formed their own lineage, and there were people in the family who had held the positions of elder and great elder, and now the patriarchs of these two families naturally became candidates for king. There is also an active team of dwarves in the Demon War, the Seven Dwarven Heroes, and among them, there is also a mountain dwarf, which is the Iron Rope Xiongguan. This hero also died in that war that lasted for a hundred years, leaving no blood of his own. Well, now there are two candidates for the king. ”

After a slight pause, the Great Elder's eyes swept over Sha Ruo: "However, a few days ago, someone actually returned to the kingdom with the holy relics left by the predecessors of Tiesuo Xiongguan in the dark sun......"

Ahh

In any kingdom with history, the status of holy relics is unquestionable.
