Chapter 184, Dwarven Kingdom
Since the trip to Skull Mountain, Lei Hu really realized that among the hidden powerhouses on the mainland, his strength was still too weak, and he was even more diligent in his cultivation, and his weight-bearing equipment was also changed to a seven-hundred-kilogram level. After Lei Hu left Skull Mountain, he did not rush directly to the dwarf kingdom, but stayed at the foot of the mountain to adapt to the weight of seven hundred kilograms, and when he was tired, he meditated and condensed his magic power, and his physical strength and magic power purity gradually improved. It was just such a tedious cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and Thunder Tiger began to officially step into the territory of the Dwarven Kingdom. Due to the obvious differences between the races and the inferiority of height, dwarves do not get the respect they deserve in the continent, except for refining their weapons. The territory of the dwarven kingdom is small, the size of two large cities in the empire, and few people in the countries of the continent can do business in the dwarven kingdom. Despite this, everyone in the Dwarven Kingdom is still quite wealthy. Because they were born with the dwarves' extraordinary refining skills, many of the weapons used by the countries in the continent passed through the hands of the dwarves. Therefore, if you practice a good weapon, you will naturally be able to sell it for a good price. In addition to being the leader in refining, the dwarves have a simple national style and can get along with various ethnic groups on the mainland. Since the time Lei Hu stepped into this piece of land, he could feel a harmonious atmosphere. Along the way, you can see earthen houses about two meters high, with smoke curling. There are children playing, old men closing their eyes, and young and stout dwarves refining their weapons. Lei Hu walked leisurely, although those dwarves didn't know Lei Hu, a foreigner, they still gave Lei Hu a friendly smile, and naturally Lei Hu smiled back one by one. Soon after walking, an older dwarf with a pale beard and a standing stick in his hand ushered in. Lei Hu couldn't help but stop, and a hoarse voice immediately came from his ears: "Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to our dwarven kingdom. My name is Nobaf and I'm the head of this village, and I hope I can help you a little. ”
In the face of Nobaf's friendly greetings, Lei Hu also dared to be rude, so he smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Lei Hu, and I came to the Dwarf Kingdom this time to meet the Dwarf King." ”
Because of the remoteness of this place, when he heard Lei Hu report his name, Nobaf didn't show any surprise, and said with a smile: "Then let Jon, the number one warrior of our village, lead you to meet my king." ”
"Oh, thank you so much. Lei Hu nodded and smiled, after all, it is more convenient to have someone to take care of it. When Nobaf saw that Thunder Tiger had answered, he walked slowly to one of the young dwarves and said a few words, and the dwarf ran away, and Nobaf walked up to Thunder Tiger again: "Distinguished guests, please wait here, I have ordered someone to call Jon over." ”
"It's okay, there's no rush. Lei Hu smiled slightly, at this time he had already been infected by the simple and hospitable customs of the dwarves, and sighed secretly in his heart: If this can be done in every land in the continent, how good it would be. Thinking of this, Nobaf ordered someone to take a thick skewer of roast meat and handed it over: "I think you should be hungry, right?"
"I think so. Lei Hu didn't dare to refuse the dwarf's kindness, so he took the barbecue with one hand and took a big bite of it, because Lei Hu hadn't eaten for half a month, and he was really a little hungry. Soon after eating the barbecue, the dwarf who had been instructed by Nobaf brought a stout dwarf with an axe on the left and right sides of his waist to greet him, and Nobaf smiled and said, "Distinguished guest, this is Jon, the number one warrior of our village, who can protect you to meet the dwarf king." ”
After saying that, the stout dwarf stepped forward and laughed loudly, "Hello, I'm Jon, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, Brother Jon, my name is Thunder Tiger. Lei Hu smiled equally friendly. "What?!You're Thunder Tiger!" Jon shook his face in horror and took two steps back, showing that he still knew something about Thunder Tiger's identity. "Exactly, is there any problem?" asked Lei Hu. "Oh, no, no problem, let's go now!" Jon looked a little anxious, grabbed Lei Hu's arm with both hands and left, then turned back to Nobaf and smiled: "Grandpa, I'll take the guest away first! Don't worry, he will protect me!"
"Protect me?" Nobaf stood dumbfounded, unable to understand what Jon meant. Since leaving the village, after Jon confirmed Lei Hu's identity, he chatted with Lei Hu with admiration and respect, and even pulled Lei Hu's arm affectionately, which couldn't help but make Lei Hu have goosebumps all over his body. Fortunately, the dwarven king's palace was not very far, and after walking for about half a day, he arrived at an earthen wall more than ten meters high that was only made of earth, and then Jon said to Thunder Tiger: "Boss Lei, we have arrived, and the dwarf king is here." ”
"They all said stop calling me boss. Thunder Tiger glared at Jon deliberately. Jon scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, and was about to say something more, but suddenly a group of dwarves wearing axes and armor were ushered in, and one of the dwarves in the lead smiled at Jon, "Jon, why are you back here again?" After speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Thunder Tiger again. "I came back this time to bring a big man to our king. Jon said proudly, showing that his relationship with the dwarf was not ordinary. "Big man?" The dwarf in the lead couldn't help but look at Lei Hu again, and the group of dwarves behind him also cast puzzled glances. Jon took Thunder Tiger with one hand, moistened his throat and said, "This is the celebrity who is rumored in the mainland, the peerless genius Thunder Tiger, and he is now my boss." ”
"Thunder Tiger!" The group of dwarves were all stunned, and looked at Thunder Tiger in disbelief, and a sense of respect rose from their hearts. The dwarf in the lead clasped his chest with one hand and said to Lei Hu with respect: "Hello, Terran powerhouse, my name is Bale, I hope I can help you a little." ”
"Oh, thank you, I have something to meet the Dwarven King. Lei Hu laughed. "Then please come to us. Balak said respectfully, and led the group in the direction of the earthen wall, and Thunder Tiger and Jon naturally followed. Before entering the earthen wall, a strong knocking sound was clearly heard. As soon as you enter the earthen wall, the natural voices are full of people and it is very lively. However, Lei Hu's height of nearly one meter eight is too obvious here, and those dwarves looked at Lei Hu curiously, causing Lei Hu to be embarrassed, as if he was staying here like another monster. Long......
Bale and his party took Lei Hu and Jon to the gate of the palace, briefly explained to the guards, and walked directly to the palace. As soon as you enter the palace, you will suddenly open up to a square with a length of thousands of meters and a width of several thousand meters, and there are longitudinal stone steps along the square, and on the stone steps is a palace, whether it is large or small, it is definitely not comparable to other countries. At this time, there were thousands of dwarves fighting each other in the square, and loud shouts could be heard at all times. Because there are many dwarves who can't refine weapons, they are very bold and belligerent, and they have to fight each other almost every day. As a result, the Dwarven Kingdom has established one of the strongest infantry legions in the continent. Lei Hu looked at the fierce fighting scene of thousands of dwarves in the square, and couldn't help but feel a whim and a sense of pride. Jon beside him seemed to see through Thunder Tiger's thoughts, raised his chest and suddenly said to Thunder Tiger proudly: "Boss Lei, do you see it! This is the most powerful infantry legion in our dwarf kingdom!"
"Well, it's really powerful. Lei Hu nodded, then held back his eyes at Jon, who was getting carried away, and continued with a pretended dissatisfaction: "However, please don't call me Boss Lei again!"
"Oh! Understood!" Ray ......" Jon quickly covered his mouth with one hand and almost blurted out, and looked at Thunder Tiger with a blink of his eyes. Lei Hu sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly. At this time, Bal walked slowly in front of Lei Hu and said respectfully: "Respected human powerhouse, please wait here for a while, I will go and tell my king first." ”
After saying that, Balak saw Lei Hu nodding to him with a smile, and then turned and ran in the direction of the palace. After waiting for about twenty minutes, Balak came back again. "Respected human powerhouse, my king told you to go in alone. Balak had a smile on his face. Thunder Tiger nodded and smiled in response, patted Jon on the shoulder with one hand, and then slammed into the square. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of thousands of dwarves fighting in the square, and they all cast curious glances at Thunder Tiger, but no one stepped forward to stop Thunder Tiger. Lei Hu quickly walked to the end of the square, stepped on the stone steps, and walked straight to the palace. ......
