The tunnel that the Silverbeard Dwarves lead to the surface is a very inconspicuous cave. There are no man-made traces; if you really want to say it, you can also see the excrement of some wild animals, proving that this place was once the nest of some creatures.
However, according to the Silverbeard Dwarves, this was the passage their uncle opened when he was young to hide in the underground world, and it was also sealed by their generation. And it hasn't been used for a long time. And when they say "very long", they always use hundreds of years as the unit.
Incidentally, according to the descriptions of two dwarves, the average lifespan of a silver-bearded dwarf is between one thousand and twelve hundred years. This age is almost twice that of their compatriots on the surface. However, there is still a long way to go compared to those purebred golden elf nobles who are still called young people by their own race even at the age of 3,000. They are still far away from those super long-lived species.
After the collapse of the original dwarf empire, they became a branch of the royal family and secluded themselves from the world. Later, because a certain lich swept across the world and killed gods, making the entire land of Mystery a mess, they hid underground again. This is their past.
But now, because they yearned for the surface world and were worried about the strange and incurable disease in the tribe, the two young men, who were only over 500 years old, decided to take a risk.
Only the elders in the Guan clan are still very worried about the world outside that is ruled by the Dark Legion. However, young people with great ambitions will not easily succumb to the forces of darkness. So they still found the ancient map to the surface and ran out secretly.
Of course, when they said this, they did not realize that even though the world ruled by the Dark Legion had collapsed, the lich who they said deserved to be killed by a thousand cuts was walking behind them. He looked at them calmly, just like a chef looking at pigs, cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Secondly, this ghost town is the first stop for these two ambitious young people after arriving on the surface. And then I got caught...
Although someone rescued them, it turned out to be a more terrifying lich...
However, these two young people have no awareness of just emerging from the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth. They still feel good about themselves and believe that the future is bright. Apart from anything else, although I haven't seen the colorful world on the surface yet, finding someone who knows about the strange disease in the two tribes is the best proof that everything is going smoothly.
Just hearing this, and knowing that the one with the longer beard was a descendant of the orthodox royal family of the former dwarf empire, Lin felt that the future of this ethnic group was bleak. Especially now that the entire clan has been harmed by radiation, the clan will probably be officially exterminated when all of this generation is dead.
Although Lin looked at the two silver-bearded dwarves with sympathetic eyes. But while walking in the tunnel, he was still shocked. During the conversation with Fen, the two dwarves actually mastered the common language of Midland. Although his speech was a bit unfluent, he was able to communicate normally with Lin.
The bearded Jermaine Niles did not feel proud of this performance. He just regarded it as normal and said: "The language you use is very similar to the language used by our previous servants. With a little modification, it will be fine." I understand. It’s nothing.”
Is it really that simple? Even if I have used similar languages, it is not so easy to adapt. Sure enough, geniuses can make people hate them to the point of itch.
However, Jermaine's words caught someone's attention, and Lin asked: "You still want to learn the language used by the servants."
"Of course, otherwise how would you know what they were thinking and planning to do. I heard the old men proudly say that there was no rebellion within the Dwarf Royal Court."
"But it was still overturned." Lin complained unceremoniously.
Jermaine also cursed: "Yeah! Those wrinkled-skinned beardless dwarves are really nothing."
Oh, this sentence seems to involve another ancient secret. How could a otaku who also has the instinct to gossip not be interested. It's a pity that this tunnel is becoming more and more difficult to pass. There are many places that these dwarves dug themselves through without taking into account the size of ordinary humans. So while working hard to drill the hole, Lin didn't have time to ask some gossip.
As for whether the two dwarves wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape? It can only be said that the two of them chatted and did not want to be separated from the new friends they had just made. There were several small holes that even they could not easily pass through. Only with the help of Jermaine and his companion Riley, who used their hands and feet to widen the passage, could Lin and Fen pass through.
At this time, someone couldn't help but envy Qi Fen's new body. Although the lich's new body is still very weak, all abilities except strength are first-class, which of course includes the cartilage skill of being able to perform various yoga movements. In comparison, someone's muscles and bones are like unlubricated machinery, stuck and stiff.
Speaking of which, magic can increase strength and speed, but it doesn't seem to make the body softer. Should we look into researching this aspect? Someone thought so with resentment.
And it's no wonder that the secret gathering place of the silver-bearded dwarves has not yet been found by the pervasive adventurers. Because it had been three days just following the two dwarves, constantly hearing words like "Almost there, almost there, right in front." There are not many places where you can walk upright along the way. Most of the time you have to bend down, squat, or drill holes.
With the road conditions like this, let alone driving his own covered carriage in. A fully armed soldier will surrender after looking at this dog hole. Several times on the road, someone wanted to use the magic of shrinking directly on themselves to pass through these tunnels that were not meant for humans.
But considering the dangers of the underground world, we encountered hunting monsters more than once on the road. A person of normal size would be a little confused to deal with it. If the size becomes smaller, it will not be a better entrance for those monsters. Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Warcraft to give up the delicious food in his mouth. So Lin could only endure the inconvenience instead of making himself a convenient target.
As for the reason why flashing is not used to pass one difficult point after another, it is because flashing requires precise calculation of the distance between oneself and the destination, as well as the space available at the destination. As a group of people are constantly moving, it is not so easy to locate them first. You have to take time to stop and use magic.
Secondly, he was carrying a coffin. Lin didn't dare to take the risk of bringing something that he had money and nowhere to buy into the high-dimensional world. If it gets contaminated over there, I won’t know how to clean it up when I come back.
On the other hand, it was Lin's little thought to save a hand in front of the two dwarves. After all, in order to safely use the flash technique in such a small place, it is not only a matter of teleportation magic, but also a matter of exposing the magic that can draw the topographic map of underground tunnels.
Furthermore, Lin could not guarantee what kind of reaction these tricks would have if exposed to dwarves, a race that enjoys digging holes. So a helpless choice is to pretend that you don't know anything, then work harder and climb with recognition.
Moreover, they did not get angry with the former Demon King about this matter, but the two of them worked together to hide the existence of Flash, a heaven-defying magic that can be used both offensively and defensively.
Finally, after several days of trekking, we arrived at the gate of the Silverbeard Dwarf's territory. But the style of painting is completely wrong...
Caves are very common in the underground world; rock walls can be said to be everywhere. The steel gate is nothing to a wealthy dwarf. But Jermaine's method of opening this door is an iris scan... What a trick!
The way to open the gate to the Silverbeard Dwarf's territory cannot be achieved by a simple mechanical structure. Instead, twenty-four arc-shaped saw teeth seemed to be unscrewed and retracted into the wall, revealing a huge arched door leaf. And before opening, you can't see any small cracks on the door, which shows its precision.
The process of opening the door is silent, smooth and fast. Don’t think that this door behaves like this because it is quite thin. In fact, from what Lin could observe, the thickness of the door was about the width of a palm. If it were solid, how heavy would it be?
Not only adult human males can pass through the opened doorway without any hindrance. Even larger creatures look fine. Is this a product of the dwarves' compensatory mentality, or... do they really need a door of this size. While thinking about it, Lin looked at the scene behind the door in surprise.
If the technology displayed by this door surprised someone, then what was behind the door really surprised Lin, and at the same time he understood why the dwarves needed such a large door.
Two rows in front and back, one standing and one kneeling, the guards guarding the tribe raised their spears and blocked the door. Everyone wears similar large armor, which makes their height almost the same as that of ordinary humans.
The most important thing is that the armor of the Silverbeard Dwarf is not like an ordinary knight's heavy armor, but more like... powered armor?
Ignoring Jermaine, who stood anxiously between the two parties, trying hard to mediate the misunderstanding between the two. With continuous admiration, Lin walked up to one of the dwarf guards and observed the details of the equipment.
There is a square iron box on the back of the armor, which is connected to several pipelines, converting the things hidden inside into power and outputting it to various parts of the armor. And there are several structures where it is obvious that there are gear sets in operation. Although there are no gears in some places, you can see auxiliary devices similar to hydraulic arms.
And don’t think it’s a joke that the armor is so advanced but it’s holding a spear. In Lin's eyes, that spear was anything but simple. The blade vibrates very slightly, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect. This was the tip he got in the detection mode under his special observation line of sight.
On the other hand, high heat will be generated at the tip of the spear. The double measure allows the metal there to easily break through any armor, just like a hot knife cutting through butter. As for the issue of sharpness, you don’t have to worry too much about things produced by dwarves.
Of course, in the eyes of the dwarves, the behavior of someone studying so excitedly is like a guy who is desperate to put his head towards the muzzle of a gun. Not only did Jermaine collapse when he saw someone's behavior, this group of guards who were loyal to the tribe even regarded this country bumpkin-like magician who couldn't understand the highest technology of the dwarves as a fool.
