The baron scolded more and more vigorously, unaware that this spell had also ruined his reputation: "Also, there is a smell of sweat on my body, like I haven't bathed in two weeks." Dirtier than a farmer! If I hadn't disliked her, the devil would have known that she would still be curled up in that hole and frozen! This kind of creature doesn't know how to repay the favor, and spends his days talking about the annoying words that I'm a mage and I'm a full-fledged mage. Unless you're a ** teacher, otherwise, you have no money and no power, you have no use for fart?!"

He gasped. After nibbling on two dry slices of meat, he continued to vent his dissatisfaction: "And that Mother Earth God Church, too, is a bunch of annoying guys! The enemy is about to hit the door and still bargains with me! What do you say that the peasants are too miserable and have no surplus food." Do they think I'm the kind of greedy lord? Especially the old stubborn priest, who has little skill but not a small temper, in order to preserve the whole realm? Relying on his own prestige, he shouted in front of me, and threatened me with some kind of popular uprising. Hmph, they simply regard this territory as their own territory! These guys don't know how to manage the territory, and they only know how to stand on the farmer's side and mess with me all the time, and they don't have the ability to think about it all at all. but they think they are doing what is right. If the sub-giants sweep away this territory one day, I will see if they have the courage to go to the sub-giants to do justice and wait, and when this trouble is solved, I will go and find the priest of the god of Sienworth to fight with them!"

The god Sienworth was the god of nobility and patron, although he was not good at farming. But he is very good at strategy, war, especially defending cities, and he is also very good at internal governance of the territory. Although there is no obvious conflict with the Earth Mother Goddess, it is difficult to say if the lord himself provokes it in it. After all, as long as the interests are large enough, conflicts can be induced.

The attendants around them all bowed their heads and ate their own food, they had long known that there was a bit of a contradiction between this nobleman and guardian god and the Earth Mother God Church, but they never expected that the conflict would intensify so much. ^^ Aishang Novel Network ^^ If it really makes trouble, I don't know who will be the final winner.

Therefore, it is better not to take a position until the situation is unclear. There are not a few lords who have been overthrown by the Mother Earth God Church in history.

The young baron cursed. until they reached the territory of the dwarves.

This is the "town" on the border of the dwarven kingdom, where the king of the land is "touring the mountains and rivers", because there is a beautiful lake in the mountains that is as clear as blue-green gems, and in spring, the shores around are full of pink and purple flowers, forming a moving scenery of red flowers surrounding green water.

Of course, the most important thing is that these flowers can be used to make wine

So the king would come here every year to taste the luscious first glass of flower wine. Other dwarves, nobles, and generals will also come over to eat flowers and wine. Gamble, watch dwarven plays, songs and dances. Live a leisurely and wandering life.

Giselle led his long line into the hills surrounding the Great Lake, surrounded by dozens of dwarven patrols, armoured like tortoise shells, armed with heavy crossbows that could shoot through solid wooden shields, and their eyes glinted with distrust, as if they were strong beasts with hostile intentions. Giselle and his men did not dare to look further, but followed the strong dwarven guards into the "town" slowly. In front of me are rows of strange-shaped stone houses, either square or semi-circular, all of which are short, thick, and stocky. All stone roofs have no structures such as beams and tiles, but are made of ordinary bricks and stones fused into a monolithic arched stone roof, which is as solid and difficult to break as a bunker. And these large and small stone houses are built against steep mountain cliffs. Some stone houses have even been carved into the rock, so that the houses merge with the huge stone mountain, showing an indestructible texture.

But Giselle knew. It is not this solid stone "shell" that really protects the dwarves, but the hidden passages in each house, which can only accommodate the dwarves to pass through the guò, and are therefore the best fortifications for defense and escape. They are interconnected and run deep into the earth. \\\Aishang Novel Network\\It can be said that these stone houses on the ground are just external buildings, just like the walls of human cities, and the really important buildings are underground.

Sure enough, the dwarves stopped outside a huge semicircular stone house three stories high, and the envoys of the dwarven king were waiting for them. The stout dwarf, who was only as tall as his chest, had taken the drink and arranged his attendants. Then he turned around and walked into the tall and spacious stone house. Inside, there is a passage to the underground entrance gate, which is majestic and carved with flowers and rattans. It looked much wider than the average passageway, enough for three strong human men to get in and out. At the entrance to the passage, the dwarven guards in thick armor searched for Giselle's body, and let them enter the strong passage through the staircase with a gust of wind blowing.

There were dim spells and other lights shining in the passage, and Giselle, who had no dark vision, was very uncomfortable, but fortunately, the journey was not long, and after a few twists and turns, he entered a huge stone gate two stories high. It's actually brightly lit inside!

Obviously, the dwarves also have an artistic sense of beauty, and these dark visioners carved various reliefs in the hall inside the stone gate, such as the powerful dwarven god Moradin leading the dwarves to expand their territory, the stories of other dwarven gods helping the dwarves, the great king leading his army to drive away the evil dragons, and even the stories of the dwarves. And the carving is lifelike, the proportions of each figure, the texture of the modeling muscles, etc., can be fake, as if it will jump out of the blue-gray stone wall at any time!

Giselle couldn't help but sigh with emotion, a small dwarven kingdom has such exquisite skills, no wonder those big nobles traveled thousands of miles to invite the craftsmen of the large dwarf kingdom to tailor a huge statue for them that will be "famous through the ages". This kind of virtuosity is indeed beyond the reach of human beings.

Walking through the hall and several rooms, the two men came to another, smaller hall, where the carvings on the walls and pillars suddenly became intricate. A large number of square or diamond-shaped stripes form a rigid and powerful background pattern, and there is a faint tension of rigidity in the steady dìng, just like these small dwarves, there is always inexhaustible strength and explosive savagery in their bodies!

The dwarven king was celebrating with a few nobles. ^^ Aishang Novel Network ^^ He was already wearing a thick dark golden scale armor on his short body, as if he himself was carved from a round stone! strong and powerful, like the thick earth, low but hidden infinite power.

Several other nobles were just as strong. Much more than those delicate and even sissy high-class human nobles, Kong Wu! They sat around a large, heavy, oval table, eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large bowls. There was no strict hierarchy, only the king's throne was carved larger, with more patterns and ridges, and a simple gold headdress on his head, which was considered a "crown", which was not exquisite, but it was full of weight. Giselle estimated that the gold used would be enough to cover two human crowns. And it's inlaid with a dozen thumb-laughing gems. Colorful and shining in the light, as if a small rainbow surrounded the head of the dwarven king, adding a strange sense of magic and awe.

The king then tilted his gaze away, and Gisele was so frightened by the look that he walked forward with a small stride. It's not that he's timid, but that his eyes are really fierce, like a big brown bear crouching on the ground, quiet and terrifying. Not to mention that an angry adult dwarf can even defeat a large brown bear. Who can not be afraid of encounters?

Giselle fell headlong under the throne of the dwarven king, and cried out: "Great and mighty king like a mountain, may the friendship between our two nations be like a forest on a high mountain." Evergreen. ”

The dwarven king interrupted his next routine with an impatient wave, and thought to himself in annoyance: "Evergreen, who is with you humans, who is evergreen?" or those damn mid-level mages to support you, and if it weren't for the fact that you honestly pay tribute and drink every year, I would have led my troops to fight it a long time ago. **3 Chinese Aishang Novel Network .com***

He said proudly: "Why did you come here in person this time? Is there something important to ask me for?" He deliberately increased the weight of the word "request". to show mutual respect.

Giselle was stunned for a moment, "Ask for advice"?! This is simply an insulting word! Even when facing the viscount, he doesn't need to "ask for instructions"! Damn! I will settle accounts with you when the present predicament is solved! So he continued to lower his angry head, and said in a tone as calm as possible, even pretending to be a little frightened: "Wise king, your eyes are as bright as jewels! A band of sub-giants are beginning to march towards my territory, and we need your mountain-like arms for refuge." For this I have brought the sweetest wine in the realm as a sign of my admiration for you, and if you will help us to defeat the savage and ferocious sub-giants, then I will also offer a fortune in gratitude to the great nation for its zealous and valiant might

The dwarven king laughed as he listened, and seemed to be very happy. But in my heart, I have already scolded this human nobleman a hundred times: full of sycophants. When I'm an idiot? Help you? I heard when your uncle was there. You often boast in front of those nobles, saying that your family is the best family. No need to scold us dwarves. What's the matter? Now that there is no Mage to help, you are such an excellent "talent" lying in front of me like a mouse and pretending to be pitiful? Hmph, you think beautifully!

At that moment the dwarven servant beside him brought a barrel of tested wine, and the king said in a loud voice to the nobles on either side, "Come, everyone, this is the wine that the handsome and dashing baron in front of us has brought us." Come, let us divide him equally. After saying that, he called on the servants to drink too much, and then drank with the other dwarven nobles, and ordered the men to continue to play the song and dance. Deliberately left Giselle to dry.

When Giselle couldn't help but come forward to inquire about sending troops, the king said impatiently: "I have to pray to the great god Moradin before I can give you an answer to such a serious matter, but you can rest assured that the great god will definitely agree." **Aishang Novel Network.com**After all, the friendship between dwarves and humans is evergreen. Hahahaha" Giselle asked with a smile on his face, "So how long does it take to be tender."

The king laughed, "It won't be long, about three or four days." As soon as the priests of our country arrived, I performed the prayer ceremony, and it was very soon. You go back and wait for the good news. ”

Giselle's heart suddenly cooled for three or four days, and then prayed. Finally, it will take at least ten days! By the time the territory and castle were reached, they had already been leveled by the sub-giants. He held back his anger and continued to hold back a flattering smile and said, "Then can I stay here for a few days?

The king waved his hand again and again, "Okay, okay, you just stop your chin." Not to mention three or four days, even three or four months can be stayed. Who will make our friendship last forever?"

After impatiently sending the human baron away, the dwarven king still laughed and shook his thick beard and drank and had fun with the dwarves. There is no meaning of "going to arrange it right away". "Until a sturdy guard who looked like a big boulder came and told him, "The priest is coming." I'm waiting outside the hall.

The dwarven king woke up from the excitement of the banquet, quickly wiped the meat foam and wine stains from his mouth, and tidied up his crumpled brown coat before rushing to the side hall. There, a dwarven priest of equally stocky stature was waiting for him.

This man was wearing a majestic priest's robe with gold patterns on a brown background, and some simple but lustrous runes were drawn on it in silver, and before he could get close to him, he could feel a powerful aura of magic. Because these runes are already full of spells drawn on clothes. Some of them are maintaining the spells on the priest's body, such as "Protecting the Stone Skin, Protecting the Elements, and Protecting the Chaos". Although some have no effect for the time being, they can activate the various magical effects contained in them with a small command. This is a method handed down by the great god Moradin, and it is also something that only nobles and high priests can enjoy. The same goes for the king's underwear, but the hidden spells are not so powerful.

He held a heavy staff made of pure gold, which looked like a long club, ready to be used as a weapon, and the top of the staff was inlaid with a square "stone", and on each side was carved a strange little rune, and some unknown spells were hidden in it.

When he saw the king, he did not bow and salute, but said directly with a dissatisfied face: "Why did you bring all the soldiers? It is the right of the nobles and our priests to drink flower wine." Do you want to share this power with all the dwarves? ”

The king was not even angry, but replied with a smile: "Several human nobles around us have invited us to lead troops to help them clear out a nearby sub-giant tribe. I've already scouted with people. There are only a few dozen of those savage sub-giants, and we can defeat them with long-range heavy crossbows!, and the human nobles have promised me a tribute of wine and gold when they are done."

The bearded priest interrupted him coldly: "Well, then, I have brought very bad news, and another large number of sub-giants are migrating this way. We can't help the weak and incompetent humans anymore! Even here we must give up and retreat into the mountains to concentrate on defending until the brutal robbers retreat on their own. ”

The king was stunned by this news, and it took a long time before he said, "But I have already promised the other human nobles. Send troops to help them defend themselves against the sub-giants. They also promised to pay us an annual tribute of fine wine."

The stout priest waved his stake-thick arm impatiently. He reprimanded, "When are you still thinking about wine, wine, wine! Can't live without wine? How have we survived the dwarven race for thousands of years?" He stomped on the heavy golden staff a few times, and the loud thud seemed to crack the thick stone ground: "Our people have already figured out, the number of sub-giants who have migrated this time is five or six hundred! If they fight on human territory, then they will trample all our dwarves into mud with the advantage of being as tall as a giant bear and as strong as a rhinoceros! The sub-giant barbarian fighter who jumped taller than an antelope rushed wildly in the open area. How many can you think the castles of the human nobles can withstand a few hits, and how many can we shoot with our heavy crossbows? Therefore, the only way to take advantage of our dwarves and the defenses that have been built for hundreds of years is to retreat back into the steep and difficult mountains. Otherwise, you won't have to talk about it!"

The king gasped as well, and hurriedly asked, "Why are there so many people here at once, and what is going on on the sub-giants?"

The priest said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but I heard that recently, the god of the Bento Empire, Gregos, doesn't know what is crazy. He actually wants to unify the entire church of the Governor Empire, and force other minor gods to belong to his name. For this reason, they constantly attacked the disobedient tribes. This large number of sub-giants who have recently come over have been expelled because of their firm belief in the totemic god Usgar. ”

The king cautiously turned his head to look around at no one, and then asked in a low voice, "Could it be related to the great event that the Moradin god said before?

The priest Yan squirmed his chin and thick beard and thought about it, and only after a while did he say helplessly: "This, I can't be sure yet. Because the Moradin god only said that there was a possibility of a major event, in fact, no one can confirm it. But at least we know that once a major event really happens, it will be a monstrous event that can destroy all civilizations! Its destructive power is no less than the decay of the ancient elves, and it may even be comparable to the destruction of the ancient giant civilization. The priest, who had always been calm here, also said in a nervous tone: "So the most important thing at the moment is not wine, wine, wine! You must know that it is a question of whether human beings can survive after the great event." If all human beings are extinct, are we going to hit rocks because we don't have any wine to drink?"

The king bowed his head and was extremely deferential, for this priest was not only the closest person in the kingdom to the great god Moradin, but also his own uncle. has been disciplining him since he was a child, so that he can't have the idea of resisting at all. So he had to ask again cautiously, "So what is the most important thing now?"
