Snorri relied on the effects of the ritual to study day and night, but his study behind closed doors was finally interrupted after a few months.
"Master Snorri, something happened! Your clan has asked you to go to the hall to discuss matters!" Henryd slapped the door of Snorri's forge and shouted loudly. With the return to Eternal Peak, Captain Grunson and his men return to their duties, with Henryd and Rogoff now responsible for Snorri's safety.
"Again, what's the good news?" Snorri opened the door with bloodshot eyes. Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw that the huge dwarf in front of him looked sad.
"What's wrong?" Snorri asked strangely. Since he returned to the Eternal Peak, he has heard good news one after another.
"Alas, the Andegrand clan, they, alas! You will know when you go there!" Henryd sighed repeatedly and did not want to say more.
Snorri washed his face and walked out of the room. He followed Henryd out and found many compatriots with tears on their faces along the way. In the hall where they had originally discussed their rewards, the senior leaders of the Drazkrad clan sat in a circle.
"Everyone knows that the Undergrand clan's expedition failed again!" Thorgreen said sadly while sitting in the main seat.
"I told you so!"
"Raised by goblins!"
Although they may have cursed when they got the news, the elders still muttered.
"Um, what exactly happened?" Snorri asked. To be honest, he was the most certain about the defeat of the Undergrand clan. After all, they had not succeeded at the end of the world.
"To make a long story short, they set out from Barak Vaal and went upstream along the Blood River. Fighting and stopping along the way, they first defeated the enemies entrenched in Steel Rock, and then pretended to attack Black Rock Castle, but actually detoured to Karak Drang, which is also known as Thunder. The castle is gone."
Aunt Sonia quickly explained to Snorri that Cousin Tommy had grown up a lot with the team, and her family had become closer to Snorri.
"Then Domgar led the team from the Thunder Castle underground into the ley network and headed for Eight Peaks Mountain. Everything went smoothly in front of them. The secret passage blocked by their rune master when the Andegron clan retreated last time was not destroyed. They passed through the secret passage The road goes straight into the clan treasure house deep in the fortress.”
Sonia's narration was not laced with many complaints or comments, and Snorri knew that Uncle Dragonhammer would not be able to talk about this for an hour.
"They successfully opened the door to the treasure house and took out a large amount of wealth from one of the richest clans in the Golden Age. If they had withdrawn at this time, the expedition could be said to be a success, but they did not. Perhaps it was too smooth before and allowed many Muga misjudged the situation."
Aunt Sonia sighed, and Snorri handed him a cup of coffee. "Then what? Did they go deeper?"
"Yes, Domgar changed his previous caution and suddenly jumped in. He even wanted to take back Karak-Eight Peaks Mountain directly this time!"
"How dare he!"
"How many people does he have in his hands!"
Even though it was not the first time they heard this story, the elders lamented the folly of Prince Domgar.
"He started from the underground treasure house and walked to the upper level of the fortress, and then encountered a large group of rats! After finally breaking through the rats, the tribesmen crashed into the goblin den again! They were outnumbered, and the number of enemies must be dozens of times theirs! "
"But they still managed to break through, how did they do it?" Snorri knew the story of Belegar-Ironhammer. This tenacious clan should not have been extinct here.
"Perhaps the ancestral goddess was secretly protecting them. They fought and retreated, and came to the place where King Loen fought to death! The last bloodline of the Andergrand clan awakened the heroic spirit of the late king!"
"Run-Iron Hammer, he was the last king recorded in historical records to rule the Eight Peaks Mountains. He firmly performed his duties until the end. In order to buy time for the rune masters to seal the ancient tombs of their ancestors, he gave up With the opportunity to escape, he led his bodyguards to fight to the end, successfully ensuring that the ancestors’ sleep was protected from foreign enemies.”
Mr. Dolson told the ancient story sadly. King Luen was an epitome of the many dwarf lords who lived and died with the mountain fortress in the dark ages.
"The ancestors' spirits, how should I put it, the reasons why they remain in the mortal world are different, but the two necessary points are strong power and unforgettable hatred or obsession during their lifetime. The great Grim Brindel is an example. Of course, he is infinitely stronger than King Loen."
Uncle Tiezhuo introduced that the ancestors' heroic spirits had not appeared in the world for thousands of years, and he also spent a lot of effort to find relevant records from the files. But Snorri already knew that he had frequent contact with Belegar and his four spiritual grandfathers.
"The former king of Eight Peaks Mountain pointed out a secret escape path for his descendants, but they were eventually caught up by the crazy night goblins. Domgar did not embarrass his clan, and he handed over the inherited equipment to His younger brother, the Queen, guards the Queen with his oath of Andegrand,"
"Then they all died in battle without taking a step back!"
Sonia choked up as she spoke, and Uncle Dragon Hammer added the final ending to her.
"After coming out of the fortress, the thieves still refused to let go of our people. They suffered a lot in the mountains of the Badland. Finally, by chance, the heroic spirit of Drama-Hammerfist was awakened, and he guided Those who survived escaped."
"Drama Hammerfist was a former engineering master of Eight Peaks Mountain. He refused to leave his homeland after the city was defeated. He organized a guerrilla force to fight against the invaders, but after a battle, there was no news about him again. .”
Mr. Dorson took over. The thousand-year tug-of-war between Karak and the Eight Peaks has produced countless heroic heroes, but she has not yet returned to the embrace of the Mountain Kingdom.
"Now, Belegar, I can call him Belegar-The Hammer now, right? Where is he?" Snorri asked, stroking his beard.
"Don't be impatient, kid. This is the purpose of our meeting. He is currently resting in Barak-Var and waiting!" Thorgreen looked at Snorri and said.
"He has a lot to wait for!" Snorri stroked his beard and laughed. He finally understood why the clan called him here. Although he had obtained the status of elder, he had not come to such a meeting before. participated.
"Yes, Bafeng Mountain was once the center of belief in the Mother Goddess. Your, no, the attitude of the ancestor goddess is very crucial!" Grandma Yushou stared into Snorri's eyes.
"About, well, Grim Bryndel appeared in the Gray Mountains and saved your caravan. It is now the hottest topic in the tavern, and the interpretation of this matter is also fermenting."
Dragon Hammer hesitated to speak, and Snorri signaled that he understood. "I have to go back and prepare for the ceremony!"
