For the next few days, Rhodes spent the city of Dulong, where the dwarves guided him around, and the dwarves were confident in their architectural skills. At the same time, they also want praise and affirmation from others. Rod is not stingy at all. When they see the elaborate or magnificent buildings, they will praise them from time to time, which makes these little dwarfs very happy.

Dulong City is divided into six layers, and unlike human cities, they make the layer closest to the surface the first layer, and the lower it goes, the number of layers increases in turn. On the ground floor are some large buildings, such as the Craftsman's Hall and the Lord's Hall, which symbolize the glory and spirit of the dwarves, and are also the political center of Dulong City.

Compared with the first floor building, the second floor complex is not so atmospheric and splendid. They are medium-sized buildings, markets, warehouses, distilleries, smelting rooms, and much more. Although the building on this floor is not so imposing, it has the most people coming and going. The dwarves are keen on mining and trading, and all the treasures dug up from the ground are traded in this level, and people come and go, and it is very lively. The warehouse is also a must-visit place for every dwarf, the equivalent of a human bank. Private banking, including vaults and coffers.

Breweries and production workshops are places where artisanal workers go. As with above-ground cities, these areas are connected by roads to facilitate the movement of goods and people. The difference is that the streets in human cities have become tunnels here. Some roads are open-air, with a view of the huge hollow mountain overhead, while others are completely dark passages that must be lit to see through.

There are many types of production workshops, including metal processing plants, gem processing plants, oil refineries, slaughterhouses, and so on. It has to be said that dwarves are much more accomplished than humans in some aspects, and no race can surpass dwarves in gemstone processing and metal processing. Dulong City is rich in all kinds of metals, especially silver products, and the silver products produced here can earn more than ten times the profit when sold to the empire. The food and household items obtained in exchange for it were enough to feed the dwarf people for decades.

As Goodlands said, the people living in Dulong City can be regarded as the richest group of people in the north. The city that grew out of a refugee camp is legendary, and it is also the last important dwarf stronghold in the north.

The third layer of Dulong City, which is counted from top to bottom, is the treasure house. Unlike the small private vault on the second floor, this is a national treasure. No miscellaneous personnel are allowed to enter. I heard that it was full of gold and diamonds...... Only the lords, chancellors of the exchequer, and a handful of administrators of Dulong City were allowed to enter. The guards of the treasure house are all elite warriors and veterans of a hundred battles.

Generally speaking, for such an important building, the dwarves are placed on the lowest floor. That is, underground. However, the structure of Dulong City is special, and its underground is the river bay area. That is, the underground river. These dark rivers have direct access to the open sea, so, from this point of view, Dulong City is actually also a port. Large ships unload their goods at the outer docks, and small boats transport the goods into the city, where they are unloaded and traded again. Its underground docks are no less busy than those of the open sea.

At the same time, these underground rivers are also the source of water for the whole city's life and industry. For this reason, the ancestors of Dulong City dug a water storage tank to separate the drinking water from the river water to avoid pollution.

And what made Rhodes feel the most was the fourth floor, the dwarf living quarters. When Goodlands brought Rhodes and Caroline here, everyone was shocked by what they saw. On the almost vertical rock wall, tens of thousands of houses are densely distributed.

The houses were carved out of the rock face and attached to the rock wall like a honeycomb, connected by numerous aerial corridors and bridges to form a complete dwarven settlement. Looking down from the fault platform between the third and fourth floors, you can see that the dense streets and rooms are attached to two huge rock walls, each street and each room has a fire, and at first glance it looks like countless rivers of light flowing on the rock wall.

"This area was completely dug by the ancestors themselves, and the stronghold was originally just a dozen families digging houses in the rock face, and then more dwarves came to settle here, so they gathered together and continued to dig rooms and houses around the original settlement, and over time, it became what it is today. It's spectacular, I also think it's one of the most spectacular places in the whole of Dulong City. ”

The dwarf guide excitedly introduced. Like Rhodes, he stood on top of a fault cliff and admired the spectacular sight.

"Will this crazy excavation of the room cause a landslide?"

Rod asked curiously. He didn't know much about geography, but as a child who had grown up under the red flag, he still learned some geography in junior high school.

But it is clear that the dwarves here have a much better understanding of geography than Rhodes.

"No, we have tested it, this mountain range is a rock mass mountain, which means that the soil composition is very small, and the little stone we dug up is insignificant to the whole mountain. But the problem you're talking about is actually a problem. It's just not here, it's in the ore area. For hundreds of years, miners had been mining there, which threatened the safety of the mountain, so we focused on the periphery, the Giant Mountains on the outskirts of Dulong City. In the language of the dwarves, that place is called Clone Whirring. ”

Clone roared. ”

"Well, Clone Roar. You're a quick learner, my lord. ”

The guide returned enthusiastically.

Caroline's surprised and excited expression can be seen behind her. She ran out secretly, and the scenery she saw along the way was an eye-opener for her. Before that, she had only heard of the Dwarven Fortress and had not come in herself.

However, excursions come at a price. The temperature here is much higher than outside, which is normal for Rhodes, but it is a little uncomfortable for the Frost Witch. Too high a temperature would cancel out the frost magic in their bodies, and it wouldn't be a good thing for the Frost Wizard after all. But it's playable, more than anything else. Caroline is not a high-ranking witch next to the queen, she has no pursuit of power and power, so she will do such a ridiculous thing as soaking in a hot spring.
