"We are here, Lord Rhodes."
Under the high-speed flight of the ghost dragon, it didn't take long for Rhodes to discover what he was looking for.
Below, many stone houses are connected together, perhaps to fit the size of the creatures inside. In Rhode's view, these stone houses are not spacious, but rather low, far less than the grandeur brought by those tall buildings. feel.
Looking at these stone houses on the ground, Rhodes knew that this was the dwarf village he was looking for. Fiat's words also confirmed this to Rhodes.
After learning about the imminent arrival of the Necromancer, perhaps due to the rush to evacuate, the doors of many stone houses were opened at will, making people have the urge to find out, but nothing remained inside, not even the most basic There was no furniture left.
Looking down at the village below from the ghost dragon, Rhodes could see the messy traces left during the evacuation, but there was a faint sense of order in it. Two completely different feelings, Rhodes could feel it at this time.
Recalling Fiat's words, Rhodes realized that these hurried traces on the ground were most likely deliberately created by the dwarves to confuse incoming enemies.
After most of the necromancers noticed the traces deliberately left by these dwarves, they simply searched the stone house and thought nothing of it. They had no chance to discover the dwarves hiding underground.
Since he learned the true situation of the dwarves from Fiat in advance, Rhodes could easily see the unnatural conditions hidden in these seemingly messy traces.
Soon, after receiving Rhode's signal, the ghost dragon descended from the sky and arrived at the center of the deserted dwarf village, with a puff of dust swirling around it.
Above the ghost dragon, in addition to Rhodes and Fiat, there is also an ordinary Corpse Witch King. This is Rhodes' preparation to hide his own abilities, and he can hand over the action of transforming the Corpse Witch to the Corpse Witch King.
Originally, before boarding the Ghost Dragon, in order to prevent Fiat from being eroded by the ghost energy of the Ghost Dragon, Rhodes planned to hoist him up with a rope and let the Ghost Dragon fly all the way here to save a lot of time traveling on the ground.
However, according to Lord Fiat, he still has treasures that resist the erosion of death energy, and can even ignore the basic ghost energy of the ghost dragon, so Rhodes allowed him to come to the ghost dragon.
Rhodes noticed that the treasures on Fiat's body were of high quality, and all the treasures he owned had their own unique effects. This may be what he had accumulated since he became an elf lord.
Leaping down from the ghost dragon, Rhodes set his sights on a stone house not far away.
During the flight to the dwarf village, Rhodes had already learned about the situation of the dwarf village from Fiat.
According to the information provided by Fiat, the dwarf village in front of me was one of the more important gathering places on the border of Eli. The dwarves living in the village were mainly responsible for the forging of iron tools, whether they were sophisticated weapons or ordinary weapons. These dwarves can create everyday necessities.
The dwarves in the village accumulated a large number of gold coins by forging iron tools. These gold coins were once stored in the dwarf treasury in the village, attracting the attention of many creatures.
Not only that, among the dwarves in this village, there once appeared a master blacksmith named Fried. Fried improved the shortcomings of previous forging methods, making it possible to forge more delicate things.
According to the information Fiat said, if dwarves didn't know anything about magic, very few dwarves would be able to master spells. Instead, they would be born with a certain degree of magic resistance. Fried's final achievements would not be weaker than those of Brakada's master alchemist. .
From Fiat's words, Rhodes could feel his admiration for Fried. In the eyes of Eli Biology, forging masters like Fried had a high status even if their rank was not high.
However, at this time, Fiat chose to bring Rhodes here, which undoubtedly led death to this land.
According to the information provided by Fiat, he only knew that the dwarves in this village were unwilling to evacuate and chose to hide in the cave. He did not know the specific location of the cave entrance and the environment inside.
Rhodes still needs to explore the location where the dwarf is hiding to achieve his goal.
Before that, Fiat had suggested that Rhodes bring more men to search around the village to find a way into the underground, but Rhodes refused.
At this time, seeing Rhodes walking towards a certain stone house alone, Fiat shook his head secretly. In his opinion, it would take Rhodes alone to search for it, how long it would take to find the entrance to the underground space. Even if the entrance is found, it may not be possible to deal with the dwarves inside.
Although he was aware of this, Fiat didn't say much. He just observed Rhodes' every move and weighed his next move.
What Fiat didn't notice was that just as he followed Rhodes into the stone house, the Corpse Witch King who had come with them before was now walking towards the woods near the village, bringing with him a strong death energy along the way. .
Arriving at the stone house and observing the empty scene inside, Rhodes stood still with a hint of thinking in his expression.
After entering the stone house, Fiat also took in the surrounding scene. He saw that there were no items left in the stone house, not even any furniture. There was nothing that could explain the whereabouts of the dwarf. Fiat did not know where Rhodes was. What to think about.
Out of doubt, Fiat looked at Rhodes in front of him and took the initiative to speak: "Sir Rhodes, you have also seen that there are no items in the stone house, which cannot explain the whereabouts of those dwarves at all. I suggest that the focus of the search be on In the woods around the village, there may be new discoveries there.”
After hearing Fiat's words, Rhodes was not angry because his thoughts were interrupted. Instead, he strengthened his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing in the stone house, which is extremely suspicious. If it was evacuated in a hurry, , no matter what, all the furniture cannot be moved away, and this move of the dwarves only exposed their whereabouts."
Rhode's words stunned Fiat. Before he could continue to say anything, Rhode's words came again.
"I believe this is also the case in other stone houses. If it is too far away from the entrance of the crypt, even the dwarves will not be able to move all their furniture and will leave too heavy items behind. The answer is obvious."
