As the team continued to approach, Snorri felt his runic energy become active. This was the same experience as when he first traveled through time, making him instantly realize what was happening - Master Krag was coming.
The awe of this master engraved in his subconscious made Snorri adjust his sleeves and adjust the emblem on his chest. Soon, that familiar, unsmiling face appeared.
Master Krag strode at the front of the group, not carrying his Anvil of Doom, but the Anvil Guards followed behind him. Snorri stepped forward as a disciple.
"There are pointed ears around here, why have you never mentioned it?" Master Kragg greeted his disciple with a cold word.
"This, this, they are nothing to worry about!"
Snorri's face froze. Yes, he had only mentioned the distribution of forces around Plateau Castle in his secret message to Thor Green before. For future development, widespread publicity about the presence of two elven factions nearby will undoubtedly have a negative impact.
"Really? These two bean sprouts seem to have different opinions than you! Those treacherous idiots have a stronghold near here, and they are led by something like that!"
Master Kragg waved his hand, and four strong guards escorted two high elves who seemed to have suffered a lot to the front of the team.
"Ancestral gods!" Snorri secretly screamed something bad. Snorri had always known that the high elves were monitoring his territory through the air force, but he did not ask the pilots to compete with the elves for air supremacy once the helicopters were able to take to the air again.
Although there are only two of them, there is a high probability that air combat will not be an objective factor for the opponent, but Snorri's unwillingness to start a war with the elves is the decisive factor. Now the dwarf states have different attitudes towards the high elves.
The most open fortresses such as Breeze Castle and Haimen Pass can accept cooperation with elves when necessary; the tribesmen in black and gray mountain fortresses will not take the initiative to attack elves when facing elves, and generally ignore their existence; and in the conservative world edge mountains, many long-term The elders will still hold the Book of Hatred and recite the blood debts recorded thousands of years ago.
Of course, these are general attitudes, and there will always be some fluctuations depending on the individual. The Master Kragg in front of him was undoubtedly the most conservative among the conservative people in the World's Edge Mountains. He probably did it for Snorri's sake by not killing the two elves directly.
"Master, it's been very hard for the tribesmen to come all the way. Why don't we let everyone go in first and then we can talk?"
Just as Snorri was trying to find his words, a figure with an iron hand prosthetic appeared from behind. President Bullock of Torrent Pass bit the bullet and gave Snorri a step down.
"Please, please! Master, let's go see the lost statue in the Ancestor Hall first!" Snorri was relieved and quickly led the master inside. Master Krag frowned, but in the end he did not force himself at the gate of the fortress.
"What's going on with them?" Snorri took the initiative to fall behind the team and communicate with President Bullock in a low voice. He has to grasp the situation in order to solve the problem.
"When we were walking on that plateau, the two pointed ears were watching us in the sky riding giant eagles. Master Kragg triggered an unknown rune and pulled them down from the sky together with the eagles."
"The bean sprouts have been caught. Where is their eagle?" Snorri asked again.
"They can understand the words and control them, but the eagle can't. It was pinned to the ground and kept flapping, so we just stewed it for dinner." President Bullock used his iron hand to smooth his beard. He showed an awkward smile.
"Those two high elves and the giant eagle have a bond that transcends race. Originally, I and a few other respectable old guys tried to fight with your master and persuaded him to give them a decent chance. But they were stewed by us in the eagle. After that, they struggled so hard that the anvil guards could only help them show their dignity."
President Bullock said with some regret. He knew that it was not easy for Snorri to establish this territory. He also knew that Snorri was a lord who was willing to use technology. So to call him here from Riptide Pass must be an important cooperation project. Negotiate.
"The pointed bean sprouts think that they are the descendants of their false gods, and Tallin, the king of giant eagles, is Asuryan's subordinate god in their ghost stories, that is, the dogleg. Therefore, those giant eagles have a close relationship with some pointed-eared people. Like brothers!”
A dwarf dressed in gorgeous and strange clothes sighed and muttered next to him. He had a salty smell from the ocean, so Snorri guessed that he was a wealthy businessman from Haimen Pass.
"Ahem, the god Grimnir taught us that it is okay to kill people to bring peace to others; to end a war with war, even though fighting is okay!" When things have reached this point, it is impossible for Snorri to blame his master, nor can he Maybe he bowed to the high elves in front of all the clan members.
What's more, he also knows that allowing the elves to invade the airspace of the mountains on the edge of the southern world is not a long-term solution. When the vigorous development of their territory is seen, the elves of Dawn Fortress will inevitably feel threatened, and conflicts will still be inevitable.
"This is so true!"
Snorri vaguely heard Kragg's words. After the group visited the Hall of Ancestors, the master and the apprentice went straight to the lord's office on the upper floor.
As if to check whether anyone was eavesdropping or peeping, Master Kragg walked around the room first after entering. Snorri was unfazed by this; he knew his master had this habit, and Cragg had always suspected that someone was trying to steal his knowledge.
"I have to say, you did a good job!" After taking off the wine bottle from his waist and taking a sip, Cragg nodded to his disciple and gave him a rare compliment.
"You taught me well!" the young man said politely.
"No, open your safe!" Cragg suddenly stretched out his hand and held it, as if he had caught something. Snorri did not neglect, he knew that the master would not plot anything against himself.
"Tourni!" For the first time in Snorri's memory, Kragg's face showed an expression other than anger. He took out a somewhat curved piece of iron from his arms with his withered hands. strip.
Snorri was stunned when he saw the iron bar, and his system popped up a prompt "Found the right half of the clamp." This thing is another part of Tourni's rune clamp. The system failed to detect it before and it must have been interfered with by Master Krag's power.
"It's really it. We have been trying to pursue it since my master, but we didn't expect it to be realized in your hands!" Master Kragg tremblingly put the two iron bars together, and they re-formed like a clamp. , but of course the runes above cannot be restored in this way.
"Phew! I swear I will spend the rest of my life repairing this sacred object!"
