Chapter 110 The Frozen Throne(1/2)
Chapter 110: The Frozen Throne
The three men and two women who had just rushed into the passage were very cautious. As soon as they entered the cave, they immediately surrounded a semicircular defense line with weapons. Behind them was the collapsed hole, and in front was a large group of dwarves with big gray beards. There were black hills piled up in the huge cave space, and the dwarves were pulling some four-wheeled carts to fall on these hills. For the five people who suddenly appeared, the dwarves looked at them blankly, and then suddenly reacted and started shouting and running towards a glowing hole in the distance.
The five people were very excited about the dwarves' non-resistance behavior. They rushed up quickly with weapons, but soon they retreated. After the dwarves who were pulling the cart ran into the hole, a large group of magnificent dwarves wearing plate armor and holding wheel axes rushed out. There was no comparison just now, but they didn't realize that the dwarves who were pulling the cart seemed to be shorter and thinner than the dwarves later. The dwarves who were obviously underage just now, and later these were the real adult dwarves.
The five people were quickly forced back by a large group of dwarves to the entrance of the cave that they had just entered. If the entrance of the cave had not collapsed, they would have been forced out. More than three hundred dwarves were against the five people, unless these five people were summoned like me, they would definitely die. However, before they could fight, there was a sudden bang on the rock wall behind. The entire rock wall completely exploded, and large pieces of gravel flew around. The five people reacted quickly and wanted to run, but were blocked by the dwarves who were driven by the second pirate and blocked the two gangs of dwarves.
The collapsed passage was blown up again with a big hole. Before the smoke and dust had dissipated, I had already walked in, followed by my demon pet and the Ringyin Knight. This time it was the dwarfs' turn to be nervous. They quickly began to retreat and gathered with the dwarfs who arrived later, and the five people were sandwiched between us. Seeing that they changed their positions like this, they obviously regarded these five as ours.
"Ha. It's ahead again." I waved to the five people, then turned to the dwarf over there. "Don't mind if I kill these people first and then explain the situation to you?"
"Of course I don't mind." A dwarf with a big red beard walked in from the hole behind. The guy was about 1.5 meters tall, so he should be considered a giant among the dwarves. And judging from his appearance, he probably was not a king or a leader.
"Thank you for your tolerance." I thanked the dwarf and turned to the five people in front. "I don't think I am a good person, but you all acted a little too much." As I said that, I took off the blood-red eternal ball from the back of my hand and held it in my hand, and then the eternal ball began to transform and stretch in my hand and finally became a whip sword.
"Don't be arrogant, I remember you, wait for me." A tall and thin young swordsman in the other party said this and threw out a blue scroll. However, as soon as the scroll was unfolded, it was suddenly nailed to a stone pillar in the cave by seven short arrows.
Sgoth threw the crossbow in his hand back to the evil spirit knight beside him. "This thing is good."
I pushed the helmet mask and smiled at the guy. "Are you so brave? After you finish speaking, throw the teleportation scroll?"
The young man's face turned red and red when I said it, but he couldn't refute it. After all, what he did just now was really shameless. The female fighter stood beside him and walked up to the front and spoke arrogantly: "I have the ability to see the truth from my subordinates."
I raised the Eternal Sword with my right hand and swung it to the side. With a thud, the sword body automatically disconnected and pulled it away. Then I walked forward and the sword body danced and rolled over to the other party. At the same time, I was still saying: "What you said makes sense, then you can lie down quickly."
Seeing my sword rolling over like a snake, a guy holding a stick was standing in front of him. The stick shook and slapped horizontally towards the Eternal Sword. My wrist was rotated ninety degrees. The blade then turned ninety degrees, and the blade just turned to the iron stick. The guy's stick suddenly lightened. He closed the stick in surprise and retreated, but only half of the stick was left in his hand. The other half of the metal stick hit the ground until then and bounced out with a sound.
A more shrewd dwarf plucked up the courage to run two steps and picked up the broken stick. He ran to the red-bearded dwarf and said. The red-bearded dwarf kept nodding when he heard this, then raised his eyes and stared at the Eternal Sword flying in the air, with shimmering light in his eyes.
The female Taoist priest in the other team pulled out the sword and wanted to cut my sword body, but I didn't care about her at all. With a trembling wrist, the eternal tip immediately turned to the player of the monk who was holding the stick. The female Taoist priest had a sword and only received a crisp sound and a half-cut sword. Of course, the one that could not be broken could be Eternal. The monk's stick was cut off was already very surprised. He was completely unprepared for the sudden turning blade. He smashed the stick in panic, and at the same time he opened the distance and shouted: "Golden Bell Cover."
His stick was cut in half from the middle line by Eternal, and at the same time, the sword continued to move forward without changing, and stabbed the monk's chest with a sword. The guy looked at his chest as if he couldn't believe it. A layer of golden protective cover around him seemed to have no effect at all. After he looked up at his chest, he looked up at me again. I smiled at him. "I forgot to tell you that this sword is specially used to destroy demons." After saying that, I knocked on the hilt of the sword. The blade that pierced the inside of the guy's chest suddenly stretched out a pile of things like claws to wrap the guy's heart.
I knocked on the hilt of the sword again, and then tried hard to go backwards. The monk suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood, and the sword blade flew away from his chest and bounced back, and quickly connected it into a tight sword blade in the air to return to my hilt, and the guy's heart was still stuck on the tip of the sword. I shook the female Taoist priest who was still dazed there, and the shaking heart flew over and hit the female Taoist priest in the face, frightening her and jumped out three or four meters away.
The female fighter saw the opportunity and jumped up from the side. She kicked my chest with a flying leg. I crossed my arms to protect my chest. At the same time, I was padded on the left arm outside and a row of blades popped up.
"Ah..." The woman kicked the blade, and the tip of the knife quickly penetrated her soft boots and soles and drilled out of her instep.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that her body was hit by inertia, I swung my right hand and used Yongheng as a flying knife dart to the tall and thin swordsman who was planning to rush over to help. At the same time, I grabbed the female fighter's neck with my right hand in my spare time. The blade on my left hand was instantly recycled, and my left hand reversed and grabbed her calf and right hand and pulled it downward. My knees were suddenly lifted up and lifted upwards at her lumbar spine, and a crack sound. The woman became quiet in an instant. She loosened her left hand and grabbed her neck with her right hand and threw it out to the side. The woman fell to the ground and rolled away and didn't move any longer.
The tall and thin swordsman over there reacted very quickly and avoided me and threw it out forever. The female Taoist priest who was hit by his heart immediately shouted to him: "Take his sword, that's a magical weapon."
This woman is so cognitive, but unfortunately no one can use my sword. The swordsman rushed over and rolled on the spot to pick up my eternal life. "Ah!" He suddenly screamed and threw Eternal life out, and put his trembling hands in front of him. He saw that his palm had turned black and smoke was still coming out. Thanks to his throwing it quickly, otherwise it would have turned white in a while. Because the remaining bones after the flesh and blood were evaporated, they could only be white.
The female Taoist priest was so smart that he pulled down his sleeves and wrapped them in his hand. He wanted to catch Yongheng, but I waved my hand one step at a time. Yongheng immediately flew up from the ground and fell directly into my hands. "Didn't anyone tell you that the artifacts cannot be stolen?"
"Has no one taught you to count the number of enemies when you go to the battlefield?" A cold voice suddenly appeared behind me.
There were five people on the other side, but after the fight started, a man in black suddenly disappeared. You don’t have to think about it and you should know that he was an assassin, and you have been looking for opportunities to approach me for so long. Now he has finally sneaked behind me. He was proud and arrogantly spoke while slashing the dagger around my shoulder and slit it towards my throat.
Ding. His dagger hit my neck and made a metallic impact. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stab it in. The assassin's head instantly broke out in cold sweat. He knew that the assassin had no strength to fight in front of the warrior. A single blow was not enough to achieve death.
"Can't stab it?" I smiled and turned around. It was not until this time that he discovered that the lower edge of my helmet and the upper edge of my armor actually overlapped, which means there is no gap in my neck. This is a good move against ordinary people, but unfortunately my armor covers the ground too tightly and has no loopholes to start. If a warrior attacks, he can still hurt me, and as long as he has enough times, he can still defeat me. The assassin's attack power is too weak, and he relies entirely on stealth skills and key attacks to kill enemies. For me, it is almost impossible to break the defense.
The assassin pulled back in panic, but a large group of steel bees flew up behind me with a buzzing sound. I waved to him: "See you next time."
A large group of steel bees rushed up and instantly threw the guy to the ground. The ground was covered with a thick layer by steel bees. The guy howled wildly below, with only one hand reaching outside and constantly waving to grab something.
I turned around and the female Taoist priest just threw a spell over. "Earth Seal - Ten Major Mountains."
"The Wushuanglong Cutting Method." I pointed my hand in the air, and a spell seal appeared. "The technique of cutting the earth."
The female Taoist priest's talisman suddenly exploded halfway, and the female Taoist priest herself also took a few steps back with blood on her mouth. "Can you break the curse?" The female Taoist priest obviously didn't believe it.
"Didn't you see it?"
"If you have the ability, break my sword together." The tall and thin swordsman jumped over with his sword.
"Go" I pointed to the swordsman. Two and a half months behind me, one left and one right, and at the same time, hitting his body, the swordsman immediately broke into three pieces and broke in front of me. I waved Eternal in a coherent manner, turning around and tweeted from bottom to top. The Eternal Sword automatically broke out from whip and bounced out from bottom to top. After sweeping, I pulled the hilt of the sword, and the sword blade naturally bounced back and returned to the form of an ordinary sword. With a flip, I pressed Eternal on the back of the left hand, and the sword body immediately contracted into an eternal ball and entered the groove on the back of the hand. It was not until this time that the female Taoist's body fell down from left to right.
Turning around and smiling at the red-bearded dwarf. "Okay. Now it's time for us to talk."
Redbeard laughed heartily. "Your strength is really good. We dwarves like powerful people, if you are not here to make trouble, we don't want to be enemies with you."
As long as the other party is not a monster that cannot be communicated with, it is easy to deal with. Dwarves are at least one of the top ten intelligent races. Although they are honest in interpersonal relationships, their actual wisdom is not inferior to humans.
I politely asked the demon pets to put away their weapons and turned to the bearded man, "Actually I'm just looking for a person... Well, maybe it should be said to be a creature, I'm not sure if I'm looking for a human, a dwarf, or any other race."
"Then what do you want to do for him?" The bearded man was still cautious.
"I just wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of an item. I learned from the Scroll of the Founder God that someone here knows the clues about the thing I am looking for." The Scroll of the Founder God is actually a mission scroll. Just like NPC calls players adventurers, we say in front of NPC that they can't understand the Scroll, and they can only say that it is the Scroll of the Founder God.
The bearded man immediately laughed when he heard my explanation: "It seems we don't have to fight anymore." He turned to his subordinates and said, "Soldiers, put away the weapons. We are here." The other dwarves cheered and put away the weapons, and then warmly greeted us into the cave inside.
The place we were just now should actually be considered a garbage dump. The dwarves who pulled the cart were all children in this tribe. Their task was to help the adults pour slag. The dwarves like minerals and are famous all over the world just like dragons and treasures. The dwarves here are no exception. Through the garbage dumping area outside, it is a huge underground world, but it is almost turned into a huge factory. A large group of dwarves stood in front of the smelting furnaces, waving hammers and hitting various metals. The scene was quite spectacular.
According to the Bearded Chief, this place is a factory area, and this cave is connected to three other caves. One of the caves is a residential area, and one of the other two is a mining mine. The other bearded man doesn't seem to want to say it, and I don't know how to ask in detail.
We were directly welcomed into the accommodation area, and there was a pretty good camp here. The bearded man set up some food here and chatted with us. Here I learned that the bearded man was called the Battle Axe, the dwarf king here, and there are more than 200,000 dwarfs living in this underground world. Among the dwarf tribes, those with more than 3,000 people are considered large tribes. The dwarf tribes with tens of thousands of people are very famous tribes, but those with more than 100,000 seem to have never heard of them.
I first asked, "I have heard of dwarves like mining, but why do you come here?"
The Battle Axe hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you have a godly religion that you believe in?”
I nodded: "We belong to the power of the God of Chaos and Order, but our main gods and other gods are not in harmony. Therefore, our power pays more attention to developing combat powers other than divine power, and hopes to resist these divine powers one day. This time we are looking for this creature, for this matter."
When the battle axe heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "You are also against those gods? That's great. Since this is the case, I don't have to hide it from you. Our tribe is tied to this to understand the gods who save our tribe."
"Your God?"
"Yes, the forged god worshipped by our dwarves."
"Isn't the Forged God Iphrit, the King of Flame Elf?"
"Have you ever met Everite?"
"I haven't seen my true body, but we have summoned it once. It looks like a machine puppet, and the whole body is burning with flames."
The battle axe said excitedly: "Since you have seen it, it's easy to explain it. Let's put it this way. In fact, the real God of Forging should be Lord Harrit, who we worship. His power is to forge various materials at will and can manipulate the power of flames. But later Lord Harrit suddenly thought about whether the forged machinery can also have life. So he used a large amount of his divine power to forge the flame elf king Iphrit."
"What? Ephrete was forged by Harriet? Wasn't he the initial creature made by the founding God?"
"No." The tomahawk said deeply: "After the ungrateful guy YiFriter was forged, he wanted to get rid of Lord Harrit's control. The other gods happened to discover Lord Harrit's behavior. They believed that the owners of divine power were randomly created, and they used metal as medium. Such behavior threatened their status. So they joined forces to seal Lord Harrit under the ten thousand-year iceberg, and instead signed YiFriter, who had reported to him at that time, as the God of Fire and Forging."
When I heard the words of the Battle Axe, I immediately guessed the reason why these dwarves were here. "Are you settled here to break the seal and rescue Harriet, the real forging god?"
Tomahawk nodded: "That guy YiFrete is not a forging god at all. He has no forging skills except controlling fire, and he is also a wizard. But he prevents our dwarves from forging powerful wizards. There is a disagreement within the dwarves. Some people surrender to IFrete's tyranny and continue to smel steel outside. But no longer make machinery. Others are dwarves like us who hide in order to avoid IFrete's suppression. We are still studying and creating various exquisite machinery. Listening to the rotation of the gears is the life that we dwarves should have."
"So do you know how to save your earthly god?"
"I know." The battle axe said confidently: "We used to search for the whereabouts of Lord Harriet, and finally found this place. Moreover, we have received the help of Master Jiaha. Master Jiaha, like our Lord Harriet, also firmly believes that life does not have to be created by the founding god. He believes that divine power is just a relatively strong power, and we can use these ores to create something that can resist divine power."
Ling whispered in my ear: "Jiaha is really active enough. How come he can encounter his remains everywhere?"
I smiled and didn't say anything to Ling, but said directly to the battle axe: "We also know about Master Jiaha. One of his disciples is the head of the Magic Puppet Research Department in my guild. In addition, Master Jiaha's most perfect work is also with me."
"Oh? So we are really fellows!" Battlefury said with a smile: "We all believe that divine power can be fought against. And we are all studying self-thinking puppets. As long as we can also create life, it is only a matter of time to crack divine power."
"I agree with this. And the most perfect work of Master Jiaha is a puppet with self-thinking. She is a girl named Norene. Master always treats her as a daughter to take care of her. If her abilities were not too exaggerated, we would not be able to distinguish between her and a real person from the outside."
"Has Lord Jiaha has such a perfect work? You must meet him if you have the chance."
Ling suddenly attached himself to my ear and whispered a few words. I was shocked and asked the battle axe quickly. "That... my subordinates just reminded me of something, and I hope you can help answer it."
"Tell me. As long as I know the battle axe, I will tell you."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I want to know when the last time you met Master Jiaha? Your dwarfs should have a lifespan of only two hundred years, right? So, you shouldn't have a long time to meet, right?"
The battle axe immediately replied: "It's not long or long. The last time we met Lord Jiaha was only a few years ago."
This news is quite explosive. We are still uncertain whether Jiaha is still alive. After listening to the Tomahawk dialect, it means that Jiaha was still alive a few years ago. Since he is still alive, there is hope to find him. This super talent must be brought over, at least he must help us cultivate a few talents.
I feel much more relieved when I think of this. Jiaha is still alive and everything is easy to do. I already know the reason why the dwarves are here, so there is nothing else to ask about, so I started to directly inquire about the whereabouts of the insider mentioned in the mission scroll: "By the way, I want to ask you if there are any creatures here that are frozen?"
The Battle Axe obviously changed his expression after hearing my words. "What are you asking about this?"
I thought about it and simply said: "This time I actually want to find a gem that can break the effect of divine power. Just inlay it on the item. Those who hold the item can no longer be afraid of divine power. But I only have one sentence in my clue."
"What's the matter?"
"The insider was frozen under the eternal brilliant capital. I already knew that the ice city above was the brilliant capital. So this insider should be here. I just want to ask for clues to the gem, please help me and tell me where to find this frozen creature. He is not necessarily a human, maybe another creature. Just know a little clue, please tell me all."
The battle axe wrinkled and didn't think about it for a long time before saying, "Come with me."
I looked around in confusion, and finally followed him out. I stayed by the Knight of Lingyin. I only brought a few humanoids or magic pets who could turn into humanoids. The battle axe took us through the entire residential area. Then we encountered another cave. After passing through the cave, we entered a relatively smaller cave. There is a strange building here. The building has two floors in total, and the volume is similar to a small gymnasium. Its first floor has only four pillars. There are no walls, and the second floor is similar to an ordinary building, with walls, windows and balcony.
Since there is no structure on a layer except for the four pillars, we can see at a glance what is placed in the center of this layer. It is a huge piece of ice, which almost fills the entire layer. Unlike ordinary ice, this piece of ice is quite transparent. Through it, we can see a throne placed in the center of the ice layer, and a tall and burly humanoid creature sitting on the throne. This guy looks like a dwarf, but the proportion is much larger. He sits on the throne with a big golden knife, with his left and right hands overlapping on a subway hammer handle standing on the ground.
Before I could ask, the Battle Axe had already started to speak out. "This is Lord Harriet, the god of my clan."
I looked at the guy in the ice in surprise, but it was not because this guy was just a god. But because he was the insider I was looking for. He was frozen under the Brilliant Capital, who else could he be? However, after finding this insider, I became even more depressed. He is the god of the dwarves. The dwarves have been rescued for so many years but cannot be saved. How can I get him out?
I turned around and asked, "Didn't you say you knew the rescue method at first? Then why haven't you been able to rescue me for so many years?"
Tomahawk said frustratedly: "Although I know, this project is too huge. I don't think I can see that day. But as long as we dwarves have one person, one day the adults will be rescued."
Xiaochun couldn't help asking, "How did you rescue me? What kind of project is so huge, and you hundreds of thousands of dwarves will have to work for so long?"
The Battlefuck shook his head helplessly, and then signaled us to follow him. He walked to one of the pillars on the first floor of the building and pulled it gently. A small door was opened on the pillar. There was a spiral ladder inside the pillar, and you could go up to the second floor. After we followed it up, we found that there was a huge room here. There were rows of shelves in the room. From the structure, these should be bookshelves, but they were all empty. The Battlefuck seemed to see my doubts and explained: "The books here were taken away by Master Jiaha, and only these shelves were left."
Damn, this guy, Jiaha, turns out to have the same hobbies as me.
We traveled through this original small library and entered another room. This is a real study room, but one of the only two rooms on the second floor. Apart from the library just now, there is only this study room on the second floor. The decorations here are pretty exquisite, but nothing special. There is a luxurious desk next to the window. There is a large globe next to the table. Behind the table is a swivel chair, and then a row of empty bookshelves. Needless to think about it, these books must have been taken away by Jiaha like the ones outside.
To be continued...
