Chapter 219: Undead
The three of them walked across the huge stone arch bridge, and under the bridge was a bottomless abyss, which inevitably made people feel a little soft under their feet. All the way to the huge doorway of Mosodor, Savin and the others looked up, and felt that the doorway was tall and majestic, and the person standing in front of the door was so small and humble.
"This gate is the work of our dwarves. Voss said triumphantly.
"It's extraordinary, I don't know how much manpower it takes to build ......," Samin muttered to himself.
"Let's go, it's still big enough for you to see. Voss said and walked forward.
The entrance to Mosodor is an equally tall and majestic promenade, flanked by neatly tall stone pillars, each of which requires at least ten people to hug each one. Savin Lawn's mouth kept saying, it was amazing, it was amazing...... Voss clearly enjoyed the admiration of the dwarven greatness, as if he had done it.
Passing through the majestic corridor, the front becomes a huge stone hall, but the scale cannot be compared to the one outside the gate. The stone hall was brightly lit, with blazing stoves everywhere, and makeshift stalls made of wooden planks one after another, and a bustling crowd of people flowing from one stall to another, so that it turned out to be a market.
Seeing Savin Lawn's surprised expression, Voss explained, "Mosodor, the largest city of the dwarves, naturally there will be a market. ”
"But to open a market in such a place,...... Lawn was embarrassed to continue, but the meaning was obvious, and it seemed too inappropriate to trade in such a miraculous place.
Voss waved his hand and said: "This place is nothing, it is just right to open a market, we dwarves don't have as many rules as humans, this place is built for everyone to use, if you can't use it, there is no point." ”
Sawan listened to the conversation between the two and thought to himself, "The difference between the races is really big enough, if the dragons live here, I don't know what it will be like......
After leaving the stone hall, you gradually entered the residential area of Mosodor, and the huge caves were connected to each other, and each cave was carved out of the stone wall with dense stone houses, and the light of the fire came out from the windows of the stone houses, and it looked like countless stars appeared on the stone wall from a distance.
"How many people live here, and there are so many stone houses, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands?" asked Savin.
"No one knows exactly how many, but about half of the dwarves live here. Voss replied.
"Why would the dwarves want to live in such a place, wouldn't it be better to live in the sun?" Savin continued.
"This naturally has to do with the main job of the dwarves. "The main job of the dwarves is to mine minerals, and they work underground all year round, so slowly even their lives are underground......
The three of them continued to walk into the depths of Mosodor, and along the way there were countless magnificent buildings, but these no longer shocked Savin Lawn, not that they were not great enough, but that they had been shocked too much before, and then they were not so strongly felt.
According to Wirth, the greatest building in Mossodora is Valhalla, but outsiders are not allowed to visit it, so Savin and Lawn are not allowed to see it. Mosodor, a huge underground city, was only a tenth of what I had seen before.
The most special thing about this city is that it is a city divided into many layers, which is related to the process of the dwarves digging deep into the ground, digging down and building the city at the same time, and over time it has become what it is today. The most lively are the top floors, where a large number of dwarves live, and the further down you go, the fewer people there are, and the buildings become more and more shabby.
When the three of them finally reached the bottom of the city, they could no longer see the city at all, only scattered stones, almost the same as the usual quarries. However, there are few people in this place, and it is clear that it used to be a large and bustling construction site, but now it seems lifeless.
Voss pointed to the quarry and said, "This used to be a place where gems were mined, but it collapsed not long ago, and a large part of the place collapsed, revealing a big hole, and something terrible appeared in the hole, so now no one dares to work in this place." ”
"What exactly does something terrible look like?" asked Savan.
"I can't say anything about this, but I'll just check it out. Voss said as he continued to lead Savin and Lawn towards the place where the accident had occurred.
After a while, the three of them came to the side of a large black pit, from which an eerie cold wind blew outward, mixed with a disgusting stench. The trio looked into the pit, but the light was so dim that they could barely see anything. Sawin was about to ask Voss if he had any illumination, but saw Voss make a silencing gesture and point to the pit.
Seeing this, Savin hurriedly listened attentively, and under the cover of the whirring wind, there were faint bursts of "whine, whine", and there seemed to be many things calling non-stop, because the wind was too loud, it was difficult to notice if you didn't listen carefully. Sawin nodded to Voss, indicating that he had heard, and Voss waved his hand and motioned for the two to speak elsewhere.
Leaving the pit, Voss said, "How's that? What do you think?"
Sawan didn't speak, but Lawne said, "I think it looks like a creature, maybe some kind of animal that hasn't been discovered yet." ”
Voss shook his head and said, "I don't see it, these things have been there since the collapse, and if they were animals, they wouldn't have stayed here forever." ”
"It's best to throw a lighting thing and go down and have a look," Sawan said. ”
Voss said: "We have tried this, whether it is a torch or an oil lamp, the flame is extinguished before it reaches the bottom, and the wind below is too strong for the flame to burn at all." ”
When Sawin heard this, he said with regret: "If only there was something that could glow without burning, maybe Jeno would do something." "Sawan thinks that since Jeno is cultivating fire-based magic, he can probably have a relatively strong flame.
Hearing Sawan talk about the glowing object, Lawn suddenly had an idea, and he slapped his face and said, "I have a way!"
Savin and Voss rejoiced, "What can you do?"
Lawne stretched out his hand, took out a crystal ball from his magic skin bag, and said, "We can use this." ”
"Isn't the crystal ball used for talking?" asked Savin.
"It's not just calling, it can also glow, it's just a different spell used. Lawn explained.
"This method is good, the crystal ball does not need to burn and is not afraid of the wind, we might as well give it a try. Sawin said happily.
Voss agreed, and the three of them discussed it, and asked Voss to use a net pocket to fill the crystal ball, and then tie the rope so that the crystal ball could be slowly lowered into the pit. When everything was ready, Lawne recited the spell, and saw that the crystal ball began to glow slightly, and the light became stronger and stronger, and finally the three of them did not dare to look directly before stopping.
The three of them came to the edge of the pit again, and Voss grabbed the rope and carefully sent the crystal ball in the net pocket slowly downward, and the light of the crystal ball illuminated the situation near the mouth of the pit very clearly. Sawin took a closer look, and the pit was actually a straight up, straight down, like a huge deep well, the pit wall was very smooth, not at all like a natural collapse, indicating that this pit had existed for a long time, but this time it was inadvertently dug by the dwarves.
"Could it be that there are ancient ruins down there, too?" said to Savan, who thought to himself about the possibility.
As the crystal ball got closer and closer to the bottom of the pit, the rope in Vos's hand was almost used up, and the three of them widened their eyes and looked at the bottom of the pit, only to see that there were countless black shadows wandering back and forth at the bottom of the pit, and they couldn't see what they were, they looked like black dots.
Sawin asked Lawn, "Can you make it brighter?"
Lawne nodded, recited the incantation again, and then looked at the glowing crystal ball suddenly brightened a little more, and the bottom of the pit suddenly brightened as day. At this time, the creatures wandering at the bottom of the pit also seemed to be alarmed by the bright light, and raised their heads very neatly to look up at the top of the pit.
The three of them gasped in fright, only to see that there were two hollow holes in the faces of those creatures, and the skulls of Bai Sensen were completely exposed...... It turned out to be a human skeleton. Lawne immediately exclaimed, "Skeletons!"
