Under the guidance of the dwarf, Zhao Hai and the others boarded the small boat with people on them. The dwarf who drove them also followed, and the other dwarf was responsible for rowing the boat.
The boat was moving very fast in the underground river. Zhao Hai noticed that from time to time, a magic lamp could be seen on the stone walls on both sides of the river, illuminating the entire river. Bright.
Ore-carrying boats pass by in the river from time to time. Those boats are also very fast, but there is usually only one dwarf on board.
By the light of the magic lamp, Zhao Hai discovered that some small docks could be seen from time to time on both sides of the river. Those docks also had some small boats, some of which had iron ore on them, and some of which had weapons on them.
Zhao Hai had to admire these dwarves now. They were really powerful. Looking at the appearance of this cave, it seemed that the dwarves had dug the entire dwarf iron mountain into a huge underground city. How much effort would it take? It's really awesome.
Juno sat on the boat, looked around, and sighed: "It's not much different from the last time I came here, except that there are a lot more magic lights. I remember that on this channel, all the magic lights were used. Some torches.”
The dwarf who led them in smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Juno, it has not been ten years since these magic types were replaced. Our dwarves discovered a magic crystal mine not far ahead. Otherwise, we would have replaced them." Not these magic lamps.”
Juno nodded and said: "You are lucky enough to discover the magic crystal mine. What's wrong? Didn't you sell those magic crystals?"
The dwarf shook his head and said: "No, that's a small magic crystal mine, and the reserves are not very large, so we didn't sell the magic crystal, we just kept it for ourselves."
Juno nodded, and after sailing in the underground river for more than an hour, they stopped at a small pier, and the dwarf led them ashore. There was already an armored beast's car waiting for them.
After several people got on the armored beast car, they slowly walked out of the cave. Zhao Hai found that Juno looked a little excited, and he knew it. It seems that we are getting there.
Sure enough, when they came out of the cave, what appeared in front of them was a road, which was very wide. They are all paved with stones, and the road extends to a cave in the distance. However, from Zhao Hai's perspective, the cave is more like a tunnel. From the entrance on one side, you can see the entrance on the other side.
Once he entered the cave, Zhao Hai realized that he was wrong. The cave was quite big, and there were many dwarf women busy there.
Zhao Hai took a look and saw that they were using some tools to assemble the armor, which included plate armor for heavy infantry. There is also fish scale armor. When these armors are made, they are made of parts, and they need to be assembled bit by bit before they can be used.
After passing the cave, a building appeared not far in front of Zhao Hai and the others. It was a temple-like building. It was very tall and made of reddish-brown iron ore. The entire hall was twenty meters high. There are one hundred and eighteen large stone pillars standing outside the building. This stone pillar is very thick, each stone pillar is about five meters in diameter.
In front of this hall is a large square with a diameter of about 10,000 meters, and the ground is also paved with iron ore. It was very smooth, and Zhao Hai found some old people cleaning the square.
Juno sighed and said: "This is the holy place in the hearts of the dwarves, the Temple of the Craftsman. There was originally a hill here. The dwarves dug up the hill and used the stones from the mountain to build this palace. Every year, the dwarves There will be a time when a group comes to worship at the Temple of the Craftsman, and the scene is very spectacular."
The armored beast's car stopped on the road outside the Temple Square. Juno turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Get off the car. Cars are not allowed in the Temple Square. Let's go to the temple to worship the God of Craftsman first, and then we can go and see him. My old friends."
Zhao Hai nodded and followed Juno down. The guide dwarf also got out of the car with them. Several people slowly walked to the square of the temple. Zhao Hai looked around and saw that there were many dwarves in the square. They were cleaning there, and looking at them, they seemed to be quite old, and many of the dwarves had gray beards.
Although the dwarves saw Zhao Hai and the others, they did not take a second glance and were still busy with their own affairs. Zhao Hai and the others slowly approached the hall.
The closer he got to the main hall, the more majestic he felt, and whether it was an illusion or not, Zhao Hai felt a faint pressure coming from the main hall, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Soon Zhao Hai and the others entered the main hall. The main hall was very beautifully built, with some very beautiful reliefs carved everywhere.
But there is no statue of any god in the main hall, which is somewhat beyond Zhao Hai's expectation. There is only one hammer in the entire main hall.
Yes, Zhao Hai read it right, a red hammer, the same hammer as the one used by the dwarves now, but it was a little smaller, and it looked like it only weighed more than ten kilograms.
This hammer is a little too compact compared to the hammers used by the dwarves, and the handle of the hammer is not long. It is obvious that it is a one-handed hammer, but what puzzles Zhao Hai is that this hammer was given to him. A lot of pressure, this kind of pressure was greater than the pressure on him from the entire hall, and even greater than the pressure from a ninth-level expert.
Juno was stunned when he saw Zhao Hai looking at the hammer without moving. He didn't understand why Zhao Hai was looking at the hammer like this. He had been to the dwarves hundreds of times and looked at it almost every time. He saw the hammer, but he didn't feel anything special about it.
The dwarf who led Zhao Hai also noticed Zhao Hai's expression. He was slightly startled, and then his eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything. He just walked ten steps in front of the hammer and stopped. Juno and Zhao Hai also stopped.
Under the leadership of the dwarf, several people bowed to the hammer several times, and then left from the back of the hall. As soon as they left the hall, Juno said to Zhao Hai: "What's wrong, Xiao Hai? Why are you looking at that hammer?" Hammer? Feeling weird?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "No, I just felt strong pressure from that hammer. Even when I faced a ninth-level expert, I never felt such strong pressure. I felt that The hammer seems to be alive, and it is much more powerful than a level nine expert."
As soon as Zhao Hai finished speaking, the dwarf who was leading him suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Hai intently. This made Zhao Hai and Juno stunned.
The dwarf looked at Zhao Hai for a while, then turned around and walked forward. Zhao Hai and Juno looked at each other in confusion, then followed the dwarf and continued walking forward.
Coming out of the back of the main hall, there is a large cave behind. Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered the cave. There were many people in the cave, but these people were not forging iron or doing work there. It was obvious. It can be seen that this is a mountain city of the dwarves, where the dwarves live.
Juno looked at Zhao Hai and smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised. This is where the dwarves live. It is almost the same as the villages and cities where we humans live."
Zhao Hai nodded, but he was still a little surprised when he looked at the short people. There were old men from the dwarf tribe, women from the dwarf tribe, and children from the dwarf tribe. Now they didn't look angry at all. Those children were looking... They were running around like ordinary human children, while the dwarf women were doing some sewing and chatting, and the dwarf old men were sitting in groups chatting. There was a small table made of iron gun wood in front of them, with wine bottles and wine glasses on the table.
There is no difference between this place and an ordinary human village, except that the people here look a little different from the human ones.
The guide dwarf led Zhao Hai and the others into the village until they walked to the door of a cave behind the village, stopped, and then said outside the cave: "Chief, Juno Hurricane, the head of the Hurricane family, is here to visit."
The dwarf had just finished speaking when he heard an excited voice coming from the cave: "What? That old guy from Juno is here? Please come in."
Following the sound, a dwarf appeared in front of everyone. This dwarf looked quite old, with a gray beard. He was about 1.5 meters tall, which was not considered a dwarf among dwarves. He was very tall. Stout, with big hands, each finger is very thick and covered with calluses, looking like dry branches.
As soon as the old man from the dwarf tribe saw Juno, he burst out laughing. He hugged Juno, patted Juno's back hard, and laughed and said: "You old guy, I thought you were dead." I didn’t expect you to come suddenly, hahahaha.”
Juno was obviously very used to the dwarf's way of greeting him. He didn't pay attention. He just hugged the dwarf and said with a smile: "You old guy, you're still alive."
Zhao Hai stood aside and looked at the two old men quietly. They were talking and laughing like two-year-old children, but Zhao Hai could feel the sincere friendship in them.
It took a while for the two old people to finish their cold greetings. Juno then pointed at Zhao Hai and said: "This is the head of the Buda family, Zhao Hai Buda. I am accompanying him this time. He has some business with him." you do."
Then Juno turned to Zhao Hai and said: "Xiao Hai, this is the leader of the dwarf tribe, Billy."
Zhao Hai bowed to Billy and said, "Zhao Hai has met the clan leader."
Billy looked at Zhao Hai for a few times, then looked at Laura and the others behind Zhao Hai, nodded and said: "Since you are following Juno, you are welcome. Young man, come in with me. The girls can go to the room next to them to rest."
Zhao Hai did not object and turned to signal to Laura. Laura and the others nodded, saluted Billy, and then turned around and left with the guide dwarf. (To be continued.)
