Section 104 The identity of the old dwarf

"Report, Captain, the ruins square in front has been converted into a castle, and someone is guarding it, the motive is unknown!"

"What? how could this be?" Kukochi was taken aback, and the cold sweat on his forehead was about to fall. You know, this is the only water supply point within a radius of thousands of miles, if you are so occupied by your opponents, then these people are thirsty and thirsty. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran backwards, came to the dwarven team behind, and said to the captain of them: "Captain Cass, I'm afraid we are in trouble!"

Cass is a powerful sixth-level dwarven warrior, and although he is short in steel armor, he also looks extremely powerful. This time, he was specifically responsible for escorting the big names in the kingdom to the griffin kingdom, and he had a heavy responsibility, and when he heard Kukochi call the police, he was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong?"

"My scouts have reported that the ruins square ahead has been built into a castle and guarded by men who have the only source of water here, and I fear they will be against us!" Kukochi worried.

"How could there be such a thing?" Cass was also startled when he heard this, he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not the people of the big forces around, because we all have a tacit understanding, and no one can occupy this middle ground, so I suspect that this group of stunned young people who suddenly appeared is likely to be ignorant robbers!" Kukochi said bitterly: "The so-called ignorant are fearless, the more ignorant idiots are, the more troublesome they are!"

"Well, you're right!" Cass nodded, then frowned, "But don't worry, let's go and see! Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought." ”

"Good!" Kukocz agreed. Just as the two of them were about to go to the front to see the situation, an old voice came from behind.

"Wait a minute, I'd like to see it too!" said a very old dwarf riding a giant pangolin. The old dwarf's face was wrinkled and lifeless, but the occasional gleam in the corners of his eyes made people shudder. He didn't have any steel armor on his body, but wore a rare gray leather robe, which faintly emitted magical fluctuations, which was obviously a very expensive magic item.

When Cass and Kukochi saw the old man, they immediately saluted respectfully, "I've seen the master!"

"Don't talk about these false courtesies, go, go and see who is so bold as to break the peace of this place!" said the old dwarf, and walked forward first. Cass and Kukocchi hurriedly followed.

After that, the group came to the periphery of the ruins square. The status of the old dwarf is obviously very high, and he is always inseparable from a bunch of guards. Even Kukochi didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly dispatched some of the family's most powerful hands to follow him to protect the old dwarf together, for fear that the other party would have a little accident. So I saw more than 300 people hugging each other to the main gate of the castle.

Actually, it is said to be the main gate, but it is just a wooden gate built from a temporary cut down tree. Fortunately, this was originally a street entrance, with tall and majestic buildings on both sides, and the middle street was only a few dozen meters wide, so the project was not very large, and with the help of the cyclops, the construction was also decent. The five-meter-high gatehouse is all made of giant wood, and below is a gate assembled of rough wood, and there is a passage above it to pass people.

You must know that the people below are the caravan of the Augustus family of the Griffin Kingdom, and the old evil doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he naturally wants to change his appearance. Crischen as his butler is no exception, and he can't be seen anyway. In the entire gatehouse, only Lao Xie and Crischen could be seen, and the others were hidden, ready to attack at any time.

The old dwarf stopped more than 50 meters away from the old evil, in fact, this distance had already entered the range of the bow and arrow, but they couldn't see such a dangerous thing on it, so they deliberately walked in a little. When he was still standing, the old dwarf nodded slightly at Cass.

Cass immediately nodded in understanding, then urged his mount to take two steps forward and shouted, "Hey, Your Excellency, what is the purpose of building a castle here and occupying the only water source around?"

"Of course it's toll collection!" said the old evil unhurriedly.

"What?" As soon as they heard the shameless speech of the old evil, everyone couldn't help but be angry with him.

Cass was even more directly angry: "This was originally a borderless land, why do you have to charge tolls if you just repair some broken fences?"

"Since you know that it used to be borderland, then you should understand that if I occupy this land, then it is mine, and since it is my territory, naturally I have the final say?" said the old evil with a smile.

"You, you're completely unreasonable!" Cass said exasperatedly.

"Reasonable? You're embarrassed to say I'm unreasonable? Haha, that's ridiculous. The old evil then sneered: "The territory of your dwarf kingdom was also a borderless land tens of thousands of years ago, and now it has become yours? Who did you say hello to? Why can you occupy such a large place, but I can't occupy such a small piece of land?

"This~" Caston was asked by the old evil, and his face was flushed and he couldn't say a word.

"Haha!" the old dwarf suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting." Yes, you're right, the dwarven plateau was ownerless tens of thousands of years ago, but now it's our territory. But!"

The old dwarf's face suddenly became solemn, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "We don't know how many clansmen we sacrificed for that land. It can be said that in every inch of our land, there is the soul of a dwarven warrior guarding us, and it is they who have paid for our lives in exchange for today's kingdom. I don't know, young man, are you going to sacrifice for the land in front of you?"

"Haha!" the old evil then laughed and said, "Of course I plan to sacrifice." Now, you only have two choices, either obediently pay for the road, or just wait to die of thirst!"

"Rampant!" Cass couldn't help but scold: "Boy, don't get complacent too early, maybe we have a third option, for example, kill you directly!"

"You can try!" said the old evil with a nonchalant smile. As he spoke, he took a sip of wine defiantly.

"You!" Cass was furious, and was about to rush over. But he was stopped by the old dwarf's outstretched hand.

The old dwarf looked up at the old evil with interest, and then said with a smile: "Young man, I don't know if your castle has a name?"

"Of course, I can show you!" said the old demon, raising his arm slightly.

Then, a majestic drum beat suddenly came to mind from the castle, startling everyone outside, and thinking that the old evil was going to do it, they were on guard. Unexpectedly, this is just an old and evil flag-raising ceremony. Accompanied by the gradually stirring drums, a flag slowly rises and finally stops at the top of the castle's tallest building. I saw that this big flag was pitch black, and a five-clawed golden dragon in the center was lifelike, and near the flagpole, there were also a few big characters embroidered, 'Fearless Castle'! Obviously, the old evil was using his own words to make the name of the castle.

"'Dreadnought'?" the old dwarf muttered, and then smiled, "I have heard a saying called 'the ignorant are fearless', and now it seems, young man, that this sentence seems to be specially prepared for you!"

"Haha!" The old evil couldn't help but laugh immediately: "Old fellow, you are very wrong!"

"Oh, why do you say that, I'd like to hear about it!" asked the old dwarf curiously.

"Hehe!" the old evil then laughed, "Let me ask you, are you the only one in the dwarf clan who is a casting grand master, a master of the Holy Realm, Pyritz?"

"Huh?" the old dwarf was startled at first, and then immediately solemnly said, "How do you know?" and apparently he admitted.

"It's very simple!" the old evil smiled and said, "First of all, your guard rules are too high, and the total number of pangolin cavalry in the dwarf kingdom is only three thousand, and almost all of them are elites of a hundred battles. There are less than ten characters worthy of being escorted by such a group of masters in the dwarf clan!"

"That's a good point!" said the old dwarf with interest, "go on!"

"Secondly, I can feel that your strength is very strong, at least in the Sanctuary!" "In the Dwarf Clan, only three of the ten people who deserve to be protected are Sanctuary masters, so you must be one of them, right?"

"Haha!" the old dwarf Pieritz laughed at once, "Well, you don't have to continue! I already know that old Parker and Lex are very conspicuous figures, one with red hair, but never hides it, and the other likes to walk around with a bright head. Apparently I'm not as weird as they are, so I can only be Pilitz, right?"
