Re-walking the paved stone paths of Ironrock Fort, and no longer guarded by heavily armed dwarven soldiers, the crowd was finally able to take a look at this strange underground city as they pleased.

It's a huge cavern with no edge in sight, and the dwarves of the crypt have a good vision of darkness, but they obviously don't like the dark, so every once in a while, a torch will be erected high, reflecting the lights of this city made of metal and rock.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Holm asked, "If you are not tired and interested, I can show you a little tour of Ironstone." ”

"Of course!"

"Not tired, not tired at all!"

"That's great!"

The crowd was gossiping.

............

In three hours, under the leadership of Holm, everyone took a general tour of Iron Rock Fort, which was very tiring, but it was also an eye-opener.

Along the way, Leo could tell that Holm was full of pride in Ironstone. And he himself had to admit that the city was indeed a miracle.

Countless houses are built directly on stone walls and then connected by stone steps, which is simply staggering in terms of excavation difficulty and amount of work.

It was a dwarf settlement, and when a few people walked by, many dwarves who had never seen a human in their lives poked their heads out and watched curiously.

However, the dwarves have never been a passionate race, so few people will greet them, only a few children, who are full of laughter and laughter with the Daisy Squad.

Leo vaguely read worry on the faces of some of the dwarves, and spotted a number of vigilant figures and eyes, most of them dwarven guards in armor. However, since Holm always held aloft the golden hammer representing the Great Forge, no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Holm, the group visited the forging farms, mushroom farms and other factories that produce daily necessities located around the caves.

What shocked Leo the most was the forge in the center of the cavern.

The red-hot magma from the center of the earth was specially transferred to higher places by the dwarves. The result is a downward slope that brings unprecedented heat and impact.

According to Home, it was these terrible magma that fed the cave dwarves, bringing them warmth, weapons, tools, and food, because without magma, mushrooms and mosses could not grow quickly.

There was just one place where Holm didn't agree to be visited, and that was the training ground for the dwarven warriors, and Holm was a little cold and hostile. It made Leo a little more sure of the guess in his heart.

Perhaps, the dwarves, who have always maintained a high level of unity, are facing an unprecedented threat head-on. However, of course, he would not ask rashly about this kind of internal matter.

When he returned to the guest house arranged by the Grand Forge, the time had already come to "night", and the torch of Ironstone Fort had been extinguished, and the entire fortress was plunged into darkness.

Contrary to what might be imagined, the dwarves did not provide rooms suitable for human habitation, whether it was tables, chairs, or benches. or beds and wardrobes, they are all built according to dwarven standards, and there is no humanity at all. Fortunately, after sleeping in the wild for more than ten days, I was finally able to have a bed at this moment. Everyone still felt a lot more relaxed.

Eating the tasteless boiled mushrooms, Riley asked, "Head, what do you say these dwarves want us to do?"

Barton didn't answer, but looked at Leo. I want to hear what he thinks.

Leo pondered for a moment and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, maybe the Great Blacksmith wants us to help him connect with his allies. ”

"But why don't they go themselves?" Bailey interjected.

Leo shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe there are still differences between the high-level executives. ”

At this time. The stone door of the inn opened, and a dwarf in black robes entered.

Most of the Daisy Squad members were used to being vigilant and unconsciously touched their weapons.

Barton stared at each other and whispered, "Who are you, what do you want to do?"

The black-robed dwarf didn't seem to care at all, turned around and closed the stone door, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You guessed right, we do have a zài disagreement. ”

Then, she ripped off the black robe from her body, revealing a silver robe and a face that could not be seen to be old.

A dwarven female.

Her temperament is very unique, and she looks at everyone as if she can penetrate a qiē, which is the light of wisdom that only super strong people have.

"I have to meet you guys in this way, strange ground friends, and I hope you will understand. Let me introduce myself, I'm the Patriarch of Ironstone, Merian Goldstone. I have heard from my apprentices about your heroic expressions, and perhaps you are the ones who can help us get out of our predicament. ”

"Patriarch, you are ...... Legendary Priest ...... Is it?," Jenny asked, fearful. Others let their guard down.

"Legendary priest, I'm not a legendary priest, I'm just the archpatriarch, a loyal servant of the Lord of the Forges. In reply, the Patriarch suddenly asked in an aria-like tone, "Are you people who can be trusted?"

Subconsciously, several people replied at the same time: "I am someone who can be trusted." ”

Even Chubby nodded blankly, purring with an inexplicable meaning.

After they finished speaking, they realized that they had been affected by some powerful psychic spell.

"I apologize for my actions, but I have to. Merian bowed slightly and continued, "Thelo is right, you are indeed people you can trust. Now I want to make a deal with you, a trade that will never make you lose. ”

Barton reflected on the experience just now, and felt more and more unfathomable that the other party was unfathomable, so he responded cautiously: "Please tell me about it first." ”

"I need you to get out of here and bring us reinforcements. Reward is a quasi-artifact. ”

"Quasi-artifact ......"

The Daisy Squad gasped at the same time. The price offered by the other party is too high. However, since Leo had already made a guess before, they were not too surprised by the other party's request.

Barton glanced at the team and motioned for them not to talk nonsense, before asking, "And then?"

"Then, we'll assault the city of Morsobre. The Darkmoon Church has built a high-level branch of the Holy See there, and if it can be breached, their development here will be greatly limited, and we can also retake the mines. The dwarf said calmly, as if she were just stating a trivial matter. (To be continued......)
