Time passed minute by minute, and there was still silence in front of the door, and only the steady breathing could be heard. Not to mention the resting tribesmen, even the sentries would turn their gaze to the stone door from time to time, expecting the secrets that lay behind it.
"Hooraa!"
After all, Tie Mei is one of the most skilled rune masters in existence, or perhaps he has divine help from somewhere. One day and night later, he broke the first door lock, and the rune energy stirred up a formation on the stone door. Tide.
"Warriors, be quiet! Quick! Come closer! I seem to hear something!"
Listening to the door, Snorri caught a kind female voice, and the rune lock was touched, awakening the existence behind it. Corresponding to the bright space that appeared in his dreams countless times, he was willing to use all his wealth to guarantee that this place belonged to the ancestral goddess!
"The Mother Goddess is teaching how to break the next two rune locks! Listen carefully and work as soon as possible! Others, stay at your posts!"
Loudly affirming to the tribesmen their guesses about everything they defended, Snorri himself became excited. Varaya, the initiator of his own time travel, had only had a glimpse and a few brief explanations at the time, and now it was finally time for a formal meeting. when.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Nagash's primary goal is to collect relics and sacrifices and return to the mortal world. Devouring other gods to increase his own power is a later matter. Although there are many undead creatures, there are limits to what he can command in the underworld. , it would be unwise to jump out and fight when I am well prepared.”
Putting it against his ears from time to time, Iron Eyebrow's cracking speed increased significantly. Snorri stroked his beard and thought to himself, Bafeng Mountain has been recovered, and he has made too many changes to history.
"Boom! Boom!"
It only took an hour for Tie Mei to open the second door lock. Just after catching his breath, before he could continue, the last seal opened automatically without wind, from the inside out.
Snorri had greatly spread Varaya's faith in the name of the Goddess's Choice, which allowed the sleeping Mother Goddess to regain some of her vitality, unlike before, where she could only passively wait for the protection of the mortal dwarves.
"He, will he just come out?"
"Guangzong Yaozu today!"
The dwarves stretched their necks, stood on tiptoes to watch, and talked in low voices. The stone door slowly opened a crack, and only a piece of peaceful green could be seen behind it. The shadows were vague and not real.
"I have waited for this day for so long! I am so proud to have a group of brave children like you!"
Accompanied by an ethereal and kind voice, a large green light point erupted from the door. Snorri, who was close to the door, was naturally the first to bear the brunt. As soon as he touched the light, he showed a knowing smile -
Isn't this the Valaya ritual in his system that can provide the "energetic" effect? In the initial stage of his career, he relied on this hand to confirm his status as the God's Chosen, and also obtained many resources from the aging dwarf nobles in various walks of life.
"Praise the goddess of ancestors! Praise the ancestors for their common choice!"
“Ever since His first manifestation in Mountain Lake Castle, I have firmly believed that today will finally come!”
"Bafeng Mountain has been recovered, the Mother Goddess has returned to the mortal world, and the golden age is really, really coming again!"
Looking back, he saw the elites bursting into tears, beating their chests and stamping their feet in various strange behaviors, and Snorri couldn't help but feel excited. Yes, the golden age - when the ancestors and gods roamed the mortal world, the land belonged to the dwarf nations, treasures were mined inexhaustibly, and enemies were nowhere to be seen.
So many legends in the tavern and so many sculptures on the mountain walls are praising that era. It can be said that in the dark ages after the great earthquake, the obsession with the golden age was an important pillar that supported the dwarves to persevere.
"Thorek-Tiemei, your understanding is quite good, and I am very happy to see such development in rune technology in your hands. You are the first to open the seal, and you should be rewarded."
Valaya called softly, and in the envious eyes of everyone, the Rune Master was led by the green light and entered behind the stone door. Snorri had this consideration in inviting him to accompany him - the second senior brother was a little better than Tie Mei in terms of skills, but he couldn't pry into his master's corner like that.
"Child, I can feel the power of the horn around your waist. Thunder Horn was the toughest among our group back then. It seems that his spirit has been well passed down in Karak-Azgol. Over the years , is it very hard?”
"Hmph, hum."
The next person who was called was Kazador. Iron Peak Castle was inherited from ancient times, and the ancestor goddess could tell his origin at a glance. The old king did not respond immediately, causing Snorri to look back in confusion, but he could only see him struggling and choking.
The Mother Goddess' words of care penetrated his psychological defenses. Living alone outside the old world for thousands of years, how could it be summed up in the word "hard work"? Their allies are withering away day by day, and most of the actions they take are partial successes and overall failures. If they didn't have strong beliefs to support them, they would have moved away.
When he was young, Cazador also believed that his martial arts and strategy could bring about changes in the situation of the fortress. It was not until after he came to the throne that he understood why his father was so war-weary. The statistics of losses must be accurate to single digits -
Deducting the necessary left-behind forces, the available troops were so limited. The recaptured strongholds had no time to repair and were forced to withdraw under the pressure of massive enemies, and there was no way to replace the casualties they suffered.
The ancestors generously supported those teams from the old world trying to regain their old land. Didn't they understand how much they weighed? I think it's for that precious thing called hope.
"I commend you for your perseverance, child. Everything will be fine from now on!" Another beam of green light branched out, leading King Cazador towards the door.
"Snorri, it's good to see you again. You're here much earlier than I expected. Come in, we have a lot to talk about."
After caring for the two people at Iron Peak Castle, the green light spread to Snorri, and he could clearly feel the joy of the Mother Goddess through the pulsing energy. Yes, originally the world was about to be destroyed when Tie Mei reached this point, but now he has grabbed a lot of precious time.
Snorri simply straightened his clothes and walked in through the crack in the door. Just as he guessed, the Mother Goddess was not behind the door in the physical sense. Green light flashed, and after a brief spin, he entered a completely different space.
"squeak!"
This feeling of teleportation reminded him of the unpleasant experience of being dragged into the realm of Slaanesh, and his muscles tensed involuntarily. He used his right hand to grasp Stemnir's hammer, and then he was sure that he had entered in the physical body.
Looking around, Snorri found that the layout was a common dwarf family living room style, with some ornaments and containers placed on the fireplace, and a few chairs placed around the fire.
"Welcome to my country. It's only thanks to your efforts that this place has returned to its current state. Let's sit down and chat. Would you like a glass of beer?" (End of Chapter)
