Ambition Lord

Chapter 458 The Underworld
The mythical magical plant Wanwu tree in the legend is very strange. The fruit it bears does not have a fixed size and shape. The fruits on a tree are basically different. Some fruits may be like a stone, and some may be like a lion. Eagles, some like dragons and so on.

And once someone eats a similar fruit, it will become the same thing, eating a dragon-like fruit will become a real dragon, and eating a stone-like fruit will become a real stone.

Calamity vines are also peculiar. The fruits on the vines contain different calamity powers. Once you eat the calamity fruit, you have the ability to bring disasters to the place you are in, such as drought, mountain torrents, floods, fires, and insect disasters. , plagues, military disasters, etc., the ability is quite magical.

It's a pity that these two mythical plants are only recorded in the legends in books, and have never been confirmed.

Although the effect of the mythical magical fruit is peculiar, Allen is not very eager to get one in his heart.

From the point of view of the seven pirate kings, mythical magical fruit is not perfect, at least the fruit of the ocean restricts users from staying on land for a long time, although it can make people immortal, so looking at other types of mythical fruit It is also possible that the first-order magical fruit has corresponding defects.

After leaning on the chair and thinking for a while, Allen stood up and returned to the ship building. Calculated according to the sailing time, the fleet will arrive at the Red Dragon Principality in the afternoon of the second day. He is going to use the Void Orb on the way back. With a large amount of materials collected, preview the first few steps of making the extraordinary blood potion.

As a potion that can make people break through the elemental knight, the production of extraordinary blood potion is not easy. Including the two main materials of blood essence and monster core, there are as many as 49 kinds of materials alone, and the operation process is even more complicated. After all, blood potion There is only one copy of the essence and the Warcraft core, and Alan dare not be careless.

A few days later, in the Red Dragon Hall.

"My lord duke! This is..." Bard looked at the things on the tray in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked up at Allen in the hall, asking incredulously.

I saw a potion bottle on the tray, which contained a mass of thick dark blue potion. This potion was like a living thing, and from time to time it would turn into a pocket-sized ferocious blue turtle. The inside of the potion bottle bumped and crashed, and it suddenly collapsed and turned into a ball of liquid. It was very strange to go back and forth like this.

"Bad! This is the extraordinary blood potion you need. As long as you swallow this potion, you should be able to successfully break through to the extraordinary level. At that time, our Red Dragon Principality will have another extraordinary combat power, haha!" Ai Ren said and laughed.

When Bud heard it, he couldn't help but stared at the potion in front of him, and murmured: "This is the potion of extraordinary blood..."

"Duke... Your Excellency the Duke! This subordinate will definitely not let you down!" Bud knelt down after being dazed for a few seconds, with an excited expression on his face.

"Okay! Get up! Hurry up and take the potion in the training room, and try to break through! By the way, Barton, you go with Bard. When Bard breaks through, guard outside, so that no accidents will happen!" Allen tilted his head, saying yes Looking at Patton Road beside him.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!" Barton bowed slightly, and rushed to the underground training room of the palace with his younger brother Bud, who was holding the potion bottle with an excited expression on his face.

……

The cave is very dark, but the area is not small. There is a stone bed in the far corner, the stone bed is covered with black and yellow blankets, and a huge stove is placed at the other end, emitting heat to the surroundings. At this time Pieces of faint blue crystals were piled inside, and above it was an iron ax blank. These stones were burning with a raging flame, burning the ax blank red.

Under the dim light and shadow, a thick figure clamped the ax embryo with a clip, waved a short-handled hammer in his hand, and struck it regularly, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

This person is not tall, only 1.3 meters in height, but his body is extremely strong, his thick and powerful arms hold the hammer tightly, his skin is very rough, he also has a long beard and dull red hair, If Allen was here, he would definitely find that this coincided with the image of the dwarf recorded in the book.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the dark and thick door, and the dwarf Kuru paused as he knocked, angry in his heart, wondering which bastard was disturbing him at this time, so he decided to ignore it and swung the hammer again.

Boom—!Boom—!
But the knocking on the door didn't mean to stop, instead it became harder and harder.

"Which bastard is it!"

Kuru rolled his eyes, put down the hammer in his hand, came to the front angrily, and opened the door cursing.

Standing outside the door was a dwarf who was as strong as Kuru. Not only was he wearing thick armor, but he also wore an iron helmet on his head. Standing in front of the hatchet, it was like a thick iron wall, blocking the door tightly. At this moment, his face was very serious.

"Cory!" Kuru frowned when he saw the person coming, and without closing the door, he staggered and let him enter the room.

After Kuru came in, he closed the door, picked up a small wine jar from the table next to him, gulped a few sips, and said to Corey: "Why, Corey, are you on your way to kill those beasts?" ? Why did it come back again?"

"No need to go! The dark cave has fallen. On our way to support, the group of kobolds fled without authorization, causing the defense line to collapse. Many people died in battle. After receiving the news, we can only withdraw." Keri With a sad face.

"What? How could it be! Even the dark cave has fallen? Those kobolds are really trash! They are not as powerful as those beasts, and I don't know why the king wants to join forces with those guys! We also need to give them weapons and armor, just their trash How can you be qualified to use the weapons of our dwarves! Hmph!" Kuru said with a gloomy face, dissatisfied.

"What's the use of saying this, the most important thing now is to take back the gloomy cave, you should know the importance of that gloomy cave!" Corey exhaled and said in a muffled voice.

Needless to say, Kuru knew the importance of the dark cave, not only Kuru, but also all the dwarves living in the underground world knew it. It was the only flame crystal vein controlled by the dwarves today.

The flame crystal is the crystal that is currently burning in the furnace. It is the fuel specially used by the dwarves for forging. Without the flame crystal, it means that the dwarves who are addicted to forging will lose the possibility of forging. Even the dwarves can't accept it.

And not only that, without the means of forging, how can the dwarves survive in the underground world? At least those waste kobolds still have special mining abilities. Even if the dwarves no longer buy ores, the dark elves will also buy them. starve.

"Did the king say what he would do?" Kuru asked seriously.

"The king is summoning the warriors of the clan. We will swing the battle axes to retake the dark cave and drive those beasts away!" Corey said.

"That's right, drive those beasts out of the dark cave!" Kuru said angrily.

The animal in the two of them is called Pala rat. The adult Pala rat can reach a height of one meter at the shoulder. It feeds on minerals and is also a good miner.

They were originally slave beasts of the dwarves, which helped them dig mines. However, after an accident, the pala rats completely escaped the control of the dwarves. The dwarves have a dispute over the mine veins.

The dwarves rely on forging to survive, and forging is inseparable from the ore in the underground veins. This will naturally cause disputes with the ore-eating Pala rats, and it seems to be the reason why the dwarves used to raise them. They are very fond of the flame crystal. Often, as soon as there is a vein of Youyan crystal, it will be forcibly occupied and swallowed up.

Many years ago, there were not many flame crystal veins controlled by the dwarves, but they have been eroded by Pala rats for many years, and now there is only the last flame crystal vein left.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the dwarves are at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Pala rat.

The reason why the dark cave is jointly garrisoned by the dwarves and the kobolds is that in addition to the Youyan crystal veins in the dark cave, there is also an iron mine, which is occupied by the kobolds. Therefore, After discussion, the two sides decided to jointly station here.

Although Kuru looks down on the kobolds, the contact between the two tribes is very frequent. Because the kobolds love and are good at mining, and the dwarves also control many mine veins, so they like to hire kobolds. On behalf of mining, in exchange for weapons forged by the dwarves.

"Kuru, respond to the king's call! I look forward to fighting side by side with you!" Corey patted Kuru on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Although I know that you prefer to forge with a forging hammer more than slashing with a battle axe, but now our family is facing life and death. Without the dark cave, there will be no flame crystal mine. You You must pick up the tomahawk again!" Corey said in a heavy tone, looking at the silent Kuru.

"Okay! For my family, for forging!" Kuru raised his head, his eyes were serious, and his tone was serious.

Corey got Kuru's response, and a smile broke out on his face.

"Kory, do you...do you think we can take back the gloomy cave? What if we can't take it back?" Kuru then stammered again with a look of depression on his face.

Corey was stunned and didn't know how to answer. In the past, when the Pala rats invaded the dwarves' flame crystal veins, they also sent out to fight many times, but the result was not very ideal. Although they hunted and killed many Pala rats, But the Youyan crystal vein has never been taken back.

"This time is different. This is the last flame crystal vein of our family. No matter what, we must take it back..." Corey said after a pause.

Corey didn't say what would happen if he couldn't get it back, because even he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense about such things.

Although the Para rats are not only harmful to the dwarves, in the underground world, it can be said that the Para rats are the most harmful to the dwarves, followed by the dark elves.

Because the dwarves have always relied on forging for their livelihood, the weapons of the dwarves can be said to be popular in the entire underground world. Although the dark elves are also proficient in forging, they are also troubled by the existence of the Pararat.

But they are still proficient in planting, without weapon forging, the food they grow is also very popular, and they can still live well in the underground world.

On the other hand, what would happen to the dwarves without weapon forging? Corey couldn't imagine.

After speaking, Corey didn't stay long and left. It also shouldered the task of informing other warriors in the clan.

After Corey left, Kuru frowned, grabbed the wine jar, took a few more sips, came to the hot stove, lifted a heavy iron cover on the ground, and stuck it on the stove. The burning Youyan crystal began to slowly extinguish.

Then he walked slowly to the stone bed, squatted down, stretched out his hand to explore under the bed, pulled out a huge wooden box hidden under the bed with his hands, wiped the dust clean, Kuru opened the box.

I saw a set of iron armor stacked inside, three large giant-bladed battle axes and two hatchets lying on it, and a dark thing on top, which was a stacked beast Skin, looks very old.

Kuru watched, sighed, picked up the stack of animal skins, placed them on the stone bed and slowly unfolded them. Apart from some black spots that could not be wiped off, the animal skins were densely written with characters written in The characters are exclusive to the dwarves, and some vague pictures are drawn in some places.

This animal skin was given to him by Kuru's father many years ago. It records the rise and fall of the dwarves, how the dwarves turned from prosperity to decline a long time ago, and how they retreated from the above-ground world to the underground. In the world, this is an animal skin that records an important historical event of the dwarves.

It is said that the dwarves are very prosperous in the above world, but there are more powerful human races in the above world. The human race is treacherous and cunning, loves to kill, and likes to enslave other races. A race perished.

The other races that are still alive are trying their best to escape the pursuit of the Blood Dragon Empire. Some entire races go out to sea by boat to escape the pursuit, while some, like the ancestors of the dwarves back then, in order to avoid the pursuit of the human race, passed a The channel hid in the underground world, and never dared to go to the above-ground world again.

Such a long period of time has passed, and the dwarves have thrived underground, generation after generation, the passage back to the ground and the past glory of the dwarves have all disappeared in the long river of history.

And it was precisely because of the hasty escape into the underground world that the Pararats enslaved by the dwarves also entered the underground world together with the dwarves. Naturally, the newcomers who appeared suddenly would not get along well with the underground races immediately, so they fought It happened frequently, which also caused the dwarves to have no time to control the Pala rats, causing them to escape in large numbers and multiply in the underground world, causing great disasters for the later dwarves.

Over the years, due to the crisis of the Pararat, the dwarves have also tried to find the passage of the year, hoping to return to the above-ground world. After all, compared to the underground world, which only has Youyan Crystal, there are many alternatives in the above-ground world. Unfortunately, Searched for a long time but found nothing.

No longer thinking about it, Kuru carefully folded the animal skins, stuffed them into his arms, and then began to put the armor on his body. After that, there were two hatchets pinned to his waist, and a giant-bladed battle ax was carried on his back. , Kuru's dress here is exactly the same as that of Corey just now.

Kuru casually picked up a cloth bag beside the bed and carried it on his back. It contained dried mushrooms and dried Pararat. Then he came to the stove, picked up the forging hammer on the stove, went out, and closed the door. close.
