Chapter 290: The Land of Rye Wine

What kind of kingdom? What kind of kingdom are you going to create?" Erica's voice swirled back and forth in Jerry's head.

"What kind of country? I don't know, I just know that I don't like this kind of world, this kind of country. ”

"I don't know, I don't know, you're starting to act?" said Ruinon angrily and funny, "I really admire your courage and courage, act first and think later." ”

"It could take me a lifetime to find the answer. By the time I got this answer, I was sure I was on the verge of death. Jerry shook his head and said, "No, it's possible that I won't be able to answer it for the rest of my life." So I want to at least be peaceful and just, away from war and killing, and the shadow of no human heart......" He said as he remembered his parents and his brother who was far away in another world. A declining family, an old-looking parent, a brother who was born for the war, but died in partisan strife, and was burdened with stigma......

Peace, justice and the absence of war...... These words hammered heavily on Erica's heart. Erica lost her parents because of the war, Erica lost her only relative, Grandpa Konstantin, and everyone lost their homes because of the war, and now someone has made such a suggestion to him...... Isn't building such a country exactly what Grandpa is fighting for?

"Okay, let's work together!Rinon you're going to come with you, aren't you?" Erica tugged at Rinon by the sleeve and stared at him expectantly.

Renon turned his head sideways, not daring to meet Erica's eyes. He mechanically raised his hand and stiffly climbed up Erica's small soft and boneless hands, the thick calluses rubbing back and forth on the smooth jade skin, feeling the warm body temperature pouring into his heart through his thick hands. Renong took a deep breath and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Hmm...... Definitely!"

Founding the country, reunifying the mainland, opening up a new era? Ha, I am not a great man. I never thought about it, and besides, it was not a bad thing, but behind the glamorous appearance was the infinite intrigue in the officialdom and the darkness, indifference, and greed of the human heart.

I'm just an avenger!" Renon said to himself over and over again in his heart, "However, my path of revenge does not conflict with theirs, it is just a detour." ”

Although Rynon's tone was not so firm, the expressions on Erica and Jerry's faces were relieved, and they were afraid that Rynon would not agree.

"Ruinon, it's okay. Let's start our race alliance plan!" Xuan Qingyi stopped his irritated steps.

"What a cool name!" Charlie asked, tilting his neck curiously, "What kind of alliance law?" Although he doesn't have a neck...... He really doesn't have a neck...... Really, no.

"Naturally, it's a great alliance of humans, orcs, elves, and dwarves. Xuan Qingyi's face once again showed the smile that had not changed for ten thousand years and said, "Start with the elves first." Renong, please. ”

Ruinon nodded, opened the communication brazier, and everyone's hearts beat with the flames......

In April 448, after lengthy negotiations between the Caredians and Byzantium, the Caledians formally declared an alliance, and at the same time, the Birchni Elves concluded an alliance with the growing Xuanqing Rebels.

Outside the Sgrad Hotel.

"Ruinon, you must come back soon!" Erica's eyes sparkled with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Hmm!" Renon nodded vigorously, "You are the same, be careful all the way!"

"Fiona, Silver, you'll have to take care of Rainon along the way. You know, he is a guy with thick lines and no nerves, and he doesn't know how to take care of himself......" Then Erica nagged at the two beautiful and lovely elves.

"Alright, alright, Sister Erica, I'm not a child......"

"Aha ”

Xuan Qingyi stepped forward and handed a communication brazier to Renon and Erica and said, "All this is up to you, be sure to personally hand over this communication brazier to the Beast Emperor Nelson Corgus and the Dwarf King Mivanoto Groin." The future of the mainland, a beautiful tomorrow will be handed over to you, be careful all the way, take care!"

"The same goes for you!"

Charlie generously took out three teleportation array scrolls from the space bag and spread them on the ground, "It's time to hit the road, guys." ”

In this way, Renon led Fiona and Sylph to the teleportation array, heading for the legendary home of rye wine, the Matangin Plateau. It was the seat of Matangin, the capital of the dwarven kingdom of Lombbaton.

Erica followed Jerry back to her hometown, Kevin Russ, but now she couldn't swagger out into the streets.

Xuan Qingyi shook his head and sighed after watching them disappear into the teleportation array.

"What's wrong? shaking your head and sighing again?" Charlie asked, staring at him with a puzzled expression, "I think your strategy is very good, once the alliance succeeds......"

"Do you really don't understand or don't understand?" Xuan Qingyi glanced at Charlie and said, "There is no free lunch in the world, not to mention the rest, the greedy dwarf king is by no means a good stubble." It was a mistake of mine to get to this point. ”

"You said that the other party will negotiate with the other party, this is normal!" Charlie was still full of question marks, "The exchanges between countries are the result of the intertwining of various interests. ”

"No! you don't understand what I mean. Xuan Qingyi shook his head and said, "Now it's me who is cheeky enough to beg them to form an alliance with me, not them who come to me in a low voice...... Let them take the initiative, and that's where I made a mistake. I should have thought about the plan of the Grand League of Races sooner and carried it out sooner. ”

"That's the case, but the original Xuanqing Righteous Army was just a small team of a few hundred people, how can those big country lords look at it?"

"I don't look at it, I don't like it, it's just that the chips you give are not enough. Xuan Qingyi shook his head again and said, "If we don't have enough chips, even if we have a mass base of millions now, what will happen?" The dwarves are actually quite simple, as long as they are given enough gold and spirits to get rid of them. The point is the dull and stubborn orcs...... It took almost half a year for the wealthy and powerful Byzantium to convince them, so what about us?"

Charlie nodded in agreement. "Orcs and elves are the key to this plan, and both are indispensable. If they can't form a flanking attack on the Western Alliance, then our western theater will be difficult to handle. ”

"It's not just difficult, Byzantium already has Kevin Rus, and if he gets a strong Gallidia, then he can gain a foothold in the eastern Andes. Saying that, Xuan Qingyi clenched his fists with both hands and squeezed them hard, "Kevin and Gality are the two stepping stones of Byzantium in the eastern Andes, we must remove one of them!"

"It would be nice to know the chips of Byzantium. ”

"The orcs are a little stupid, but the Beast Emperor Nelson Corgus is not that stupid. It was not a drunkard, it certainly didn't care about the little leverage that Byzantium offered, and it understood Byzantine ambitions and strategic plans in the eastern Andes. We need to know that it's not the chips that are talking about it, but what the orcs are thinking!"

"What the Orcs think? Who can use mind-reading on the Beastmaster Corges?"

"There is no need to read minds. For thousands of years, because of humans, the orcs were forced to leave their homeland and come to the arid and barren plateau......"

"You mean ......" Charlie seemed to think of something.

Xuan Qingyi raised his head and stared at the blue sky and said, "With Byzantium, the possibility of Justinian the Great's temperament satisfying the wishes of the orcs is infinitely close to zero. So we just have to ...... Hey, don't mention it, these are just empty fantasies of mine alone. Let's go! The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! Now these are useless. ”

Stepping down from the Charlie family's teleportation array, Ronunshi unleashed his flying technique and galloped all the way to the southwest. It took them only a week to reach the home of the legendary rye wine: Lombbatons.

(Rye wine: a specialty of the dwarven kingdom Lombbaton.) The wine is mostly dark brown or brown, and the wort and alcohol concentration are higher than those of similar wines. Rye wine has a strong aromatic aroma with a prominent malt burnt aroma, a mild mouthfeel, a clear mouthfeel, and a sweet, bitter and mellow taste. The wine is mainly made of burnt malt and bran as raw materials, so the nutrition is richer and more comprehensive than the general wine, and some rye wine is also paired with anisel and a small amount of herbs, which is fermented for a long time, and the puree is filtered out of impurities before it can be stored and drunk. The origin of rye wine can be traced back to the time of the prehistoric dwarf king Dann Groin, when a court winemaker passed by the kitchen and smelled a strong smell of burnt wheat, so he had a whim: if the malt was burned, would it also have this strange aroma? In the centuries that followed, the dwarves added many recipes to rye wine to improve its aroma and taste, but they were nowhere near as original as rye wine made using ancient techniques. )

With the help of levitation, Rainon defies the law of gravity and mysteriously stands in the air. As far as he could see, the southwest side was getting higher and higher, and it was a snow-capped mountain range. They are layered on top of each other, like endless waves, and the waves are prohibitive.

The wind blew, and the clammy air scraped against Ruinon's skin. They are pervasive, seeping through the criss-crossed crevices of the cotton fabric, driving away the cautious hint of spring in the padded jacket.

"Phew, damn it! It's April, and Lombbaton is still cold like this. How will you live if you go to the Matankinko Plateau?" Renon craned his neck and rubbed his hands, snorting into the palm of his hand.

Lombbaton is a country on the plateau, and the further west the Andes is, the closer it is to the majestic Andes, and the terrain gradually rises with the mountain and the temperature gradually decreases with the terrain. The destination of Renong's trip is Matangin, the capital of Lombbatun, which is carved into a mountain and located in the mountains of the Matangin Plateau.

(Matangin Plateau: Located on the southeast side of the Andes Mountains, it covers a total area of nearly 1 million square kilometers.) The average altitude of the plateau is about 2100~3300 meters, and the highest point can reach more than 5000 meters, and the terrain is steep and steep. Due to the wide area and large altitude difference of the Matangin Plateau, with the climb of altitude, the Matangin Plateau has formed a variety of natural ecology from wetlands and forests to alpine grasslands and glacial landforms. )

"How's it going?" Fiona's eager cry came from below.

"It's all mountains, there's not a city or a village in sight. ”

"How so?" Fiona tightened the heavy cloak that wrapped around her and helped Sylph tie her neckline.

"Damn, if only Gonzas were here at this time!" said Rinon as he jumped from the sky with his levitation spell removed, "now we are sure that we are in Lombbaton, but we haven't seen a single human presence after a day's walk. Where are the dwarves, and what ...... the way forward?"

"Maybe you can dig a hole and find them. Nightmare's happy voice echoed in his head.

"Do you think they're gophers?"

"How do you know they're not gophers?"

"This ......" Renon was speechless, and his trembling voice returned to his heart again: "The country of the dwarves, the peak of Matankin, under the throne, the eye of the god of war." Go find the Eye of the God of War!"

"I don't need you to remind me, I never forget this. But do dwarves really live underground?" the trembling voice had returned since Renon had entered Lombbatons, reminding him almost every day not to forget the precious soul stone. "Just two more pieces and you'll be done, but then again, the first two sentences are easy to understand, but what does the throne refer to? What does Vision of War mean? Hey, it's useless to think about it now, just keep walking! ”

Then Rainon took Fiona and Silver's hand and said, "Let's go on our way, and look for it as we go, and we will surely reach Matangin by walking southwest." ”

"Hmm!" the two women nodded vigorously.

It was dark and the wind was blowing. Ruinong and his entourage walked with difficulty on the deserted Gobi Desert against the harsh wind. The wind and sand made it impossible for them to open their eyes, and along the way, Renon and Fiona relied on their mindfulness force fields to find their bearings.

"Damn, what the hell is this place!ah, bah ”

"Are we in the wrong place? If only Gonzas were here!" said Fiona, pulling her hood low and covering her mouth and nose with one hand.

Silver shook her head vigorously, "Silver doesn't want to spend the night here!" said a pair of small sand-stained hands that tugged at Rainon's clothes tighter.

Renon knew that this was not the way to go, they could spend the night in a constant space, but it would inevitably consume a lot of their mental energy. The deeper you go into Lombbaton, the more uncertain the risk factors become, and although dwarves have been very willing to trade with humans since ancient times, this does not mean that dwarves have a friendly relationship with humans. Greedy dwarves, on the other hand, are extremely jealous and hateful towards humans, and human wealth has a fatal attraction to them.

There are often frictions between the border between the dwarven kingdom and humans, and human caravans must bring a strong team of mercenaries to do business in Lombbaton, otherwise the caravansera's goods and gold will be looted.

"I have to keep some mental power...... Fiona and Sylph must be protected by me......" Rainon said to himself over and over again in his mind, "they are elves, elves and dwarves......"

"Silf can't hold on!" Poor little Silf hid behind Rainon, her thin body trembling.

Suddenly, Ronon missed the ferocious black dragon incomparably, "Damn! Gonzas, where are you bastard?" he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, "Ahem...... Phew!" In an instant, a mouthful of yellow sand was filled.

"Where's the ...... Where have you been............ Where's the ...... Go to ......" The whirring wind was mixed with the roar of Ruinon, wafting back and forth between heaven and earth. In a few moments, it was swallowed by the wind.

I want to think about it, but Ruinon understands that there is still a way to go. He searched for a while with his mental power, and in addition to the sand and gravel, there were only a few shrubs with extremely deep roots scattered scattered on the desolate Gobi, "There is no way, it's better like this, let's dig a hole in the ground and hide in it for the night, and then set off when the wind stops at dawn." ”

"Okay!" Fiona nodded, and began to prepare for the spell. At that moment, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, as if something was rapidly approaching.

"Danger!" Renon picked up Fiona and Silver and threw them to the side, her muscular and heavy body crushing Fiona under her. (Reader G: Is this the legendary push? Then there should be a fierce shootout, with a focus on the grass, the forest, the vines, panting, moaning, congested, huge, and advancing...... Author: Come on, drag it out, and harmonize it with the holy light!Reader G: I'm wronged, my lord! I'm just ...... Author: Actually, I originally wanted to write like this, but it was just ...... Hey, guys, make up for it!)

"Boom!" The low crash was deafening, and the earth trembled violently. Rainon felt like he was floating for a while.

"What kind of monster is this?" Through the blurred moonlight, Renon noticed that there was a small mountain-like object behind him blocking the wind and sand, "It's pretty good, at least it can be used to block the wind and sand, doesn't it? What do you think, Silver, Fiona?"

"Hmm...... Uh-huh...... "There was a gasp from underneath him.

"Uh...... What's wrong with you?" Fiona.

"Good...... It's so heavy...... It's going to crush me...... You're so sudden, Rynon is so sudden, I'm ...... I'm not ready yet......"

These words suddenly made Ruinong's face red, and the chill of the plateau was suddenly swept away.

"What if...... If you have to...... I...... I won't ......"

"Ahh He lifted Fiona and Silver up from the ground, "Aren't you hurt?"

"It's fine. Fiona and Silver said with red faces.

"That's good, but then again, what the hell is this?" said Rynon as he stepped forward to look at the mountain-like object in front of him.
