Chapter 110: All the Wicked (First Update!)
The Iron Hills are located in the southwestern southeast of the majestic Temudar Snow Mountain, where millions of dwarves live.
The mineral resources of the Iron Hills are almost infinite, because they have never imported a single piece of ore since the establishment of the country of Iron Hills, some people think that this group of dwarves is lucky, and they happen to have an inexhaustible rich vein under their feet, but some people of insight believe that perhaps it is because of the fierce eyes of those dwarves back then that they can discover this treasure that is the envy of other countries.
Iron Hills has a unique artifact forging technology, and it is with this smelting technology that the dwarves have gained a foothold in Middle-earth thousands of years ago.
The quality of the equipment of the Human Empire is second to none in Middle-earth, but strict trade barriers have been set up for various countries and strengths, and the equipment sold to other countries is only second- and third-tier obsolete goods, and it is limited. Especially in the Orc Kingdom, human merchants can even directly sell scrap pig iron plates for the price of top-of-the-line equipment.
In this kind of market monopoly environment, many countries and forces naturally set their sights on the Iron Hills, and the Iron Hills did not disappoint them, although the weapons and armor made by the dwarves were not as sophisticated and beautiful as humans, but at least he filled at least 40% of the equipment gaps of the countries on the Middle-earth continent.
There is another very important reason why Iron Hills has become famous.
They were willing to sell artifacts!
Compared with the industrial model of the human empire, which tends to be automated and modular, Iron Hill is more like a casual painter, usually lazy and lazy to fall asleep in the sloppy quilt, and only get up when he is inspired to draw two strokes, but sometimes it is often these two strokes that are full of inspiration that can create an artifact.
It's just that these "hot" artifacts not only have strange appearances, but also have a variety of functions, and they are not necessarily purely for the service of war, some people are flocking to them, some people are crazy about them, and of course some will make people laugh and cry.
Iron Hills never sells artifacts at a clear price, and each master has full control over their work, preferring to sell their artifacts through the ancient trade of barter.
Sometimes, some Iron Hills Forge Masters will issue some difficult quests from time to time, asking adventurers, explorers, or mercenaries to find some special materials for them that are extremely rare even in Iron Hills, and in return, they will give them some artifacts that have not been sold for more than ten years as rewards.
Of course, only those commissions that are extremely difficult or have a very long time span have artifact-level rewards, and the rewards for ordinary commissions are only some of the client's self-made weapons and equipment, but even so it still attracts a large number of adventurers.
Just kidding, after all, even an unpolished iron rod can sell for a gold coin, let alone weapons and equipment produced in the iron hills?
The advent of commissioned missions has made many adventurers in Middle-earth flock to the Iron Hills, where you can often see races other than dwarves living here, and when a commissioned mission is released, everyone will fight for their heads.
Over time, these people were given the title of "commission hunters".
However, there are always exceptions to everything, and in the list of entrusted tasks that have been robbed, there is a commissioned task with only a few words hanging on the deserted bulletin board, which is in stark contrast to the entrusted hunters around who are coaxing other commissioned tasks, as if this commission is a poisonous snake that will eat people, and everyone will stay away.
Some adventurers who don't know the details saw that there was still a commission on the bulletin board, and they were overjoyed and just wanted to take it off, but they inadvertently swept the four dazzling big characters of "Extreme Abyss Valley" in the content of the commission, and immediately retracted their hands, and were shocked to retreat again and again, and were ridiculed by other commission hunters who saw this scene.
"Where did the chicks come from, dare to accept the commission from the Abyss Valley?
"To distinguish according to the difficulty of the commission of the Human Empire, this commission of the Abyss Valley is worthy of the S rank, right?"
"It's a pity that the reward for this commission is really eye-catching. It's a pity that no matter how generous the reward is, what's the use of not dying in the end. ”
As the other orders were snatched up, the original noisy bulletin board became deserted again, and only the order was left alone in the wind.

......
Twenty miles southeast of the Iron Hills, there was a chasm in the valley like a huge scar, which tore through the surface of the earth and went down, deep and bottomless, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, ready to devour the people who passed by.
This is the valley of the abyss that everyone talks about.
The Abyss Valley happened to cross the border between the Orc Kingdom and the Iron Hills, but strangely, neither the Dwarven garrison of the Iron Hills nor the Border Patrol of the Orc Kingdom had the slightest intention of patrolling here.
A "foreign expedition group" of twelve people came to the vicinity of the Abyss Valley.
These twelve people are Chang Hao and his entourage who set off from Guangmingye.
Chang Hao tried to keep a low profile when he went out this time, and did not wear the conspicuous white viscount robe, but changed into a capable black brocade robe, which came from those skillful women who Chang Hao rescued at the beginning, oriental style, close and comfortable, Chang Hao was full of praise for this.
The others also wore black brocade clothes, and the brocade clothes worn by Chang Ge, Emilia, Anna and Bai Jin were more like cheongsam styles, and the curves of the four women were more exaggerated than the other, convex and backward, and others might not be able to sleep at night when they looked at them. Especially platinum, in order to facilitate the battle, he deliberately opened a high fork for the cheongsam, which can be described as a unique scenery.
And the trio of Herbert, Panta and the silver-gray hunk, the exaggerated muscles feel like they are about to burst the brocade clothes, and the slim black brocade clothes are similar to tights on them, and people who don't know think that these guys are fitness trainers.
The twelve people are all black, with obsidian-polished toad sunglasses, and the violent muscles of the three macho men, they are almost like all the villains.
"Herbert, Panta and Silver Ash, you can consider losing weight when you have time. Chang Hao took a deep breath, feeling that his sea of knowledge was about to be squeezed dry.
Thousands of miles from the Guangming Wild to the Iron Hill border, relying on the beast cart to travel is not only slow but also easy to expose, they choose to fly in the sky, but the problem comes out, Chang Ge and Emilia each have the ability to fly, it is not a problem to bring Anna and Platinum, Yan Qi, Ling Xingyi, Ling Xingmao and Shen Qingge know the swordsmanship, and it is not a problem.
The problem lies with the three macho men Herbert, Panta and Silver Gray, they are the strength of the Golden Knight, but they can't fly!
Chang Hao had no choice but to think of a way, using his divine sense to urge the sword technique, using the three tree trunks as swordsmen, and the three macho men sat on the tree trunks, Chang Hao flew in the sky with three thick tree trunks and three macho men with his own strength, and only Chang Hao himself could understand the hardships, and he almost fainted with laughter along the way.
"How can you fight when you lose weight? We bear people have a saying that solid muscles are virtues. Herbert rolled his eyes and jumped off the trunk, and he suffered a lot along the way, the rough bark of the tree made his eggs hurt.
Herbert looked at the deep rift that crossed the earth in front of him, and his eyes grew solemn.
It was here that he collapsed and sank in the sand, and finally took off his military uniform.
