Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1177 Dwarf King's Palace
Standing on the sidelines, Shi Lei remained calm despite the collapse of a mountain.

Putting aside other things, they probably don't have elevators in the Great Zhou, right?
Looking at Jie Liancheng's confident attitude, Shi Lei became a little unsure.

After all, he has been in charge of the New North District for many years. In terms of the level of development, the New North District is just average in their Great Zhou. It cannot compare with the New South District next door, let alone the Black Moon City which is the capital. Maybe this thing called elevator has been used in other areas, but he is at the border and doesn't know about it.

Of course not! Xie Liancheng knew it clearly, but at this moment, he certainly couldn't let himself be outdone by the opponent.

As a modern man, elevators were too backward in his eyes and did not scare him. However, he was surprised to find that the dwarves of Copperforge had hollowed out the mountain and lived inside it.

He walked into the elevator and stood firmly. The dwarf guarding outside pulled the handle of the mechanism. With the sound of "clicking", Jie Liancheng clearly felt that they were slowly descending.

The elevator was moving very slowly, which was within Jie Liancheng's expectations. Considering the technological level of this era, if this thing was too fast, it would be unsafe. He was aware of this.

As the elevator continued to descend, Xie Liancheng could clearly feel that the light inside was becoming dimmer.

When the elevator stopped and the group walked out, they had already completely entered the mountain of Copperlube Fort. At this moment, natural light could no longer come in, and the entire environment was illuminated entirely by fire.

"follow me."

It was still Woking who led the way.

After what happened before, Woking learned his lesson and stopped showing off.

During this time, Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng, who were following behind, habitually looked around and took a closer look.

Although the dwarves themselves are not tall, because they often need to transport some large equipment inside the mountain, the passages inside the mountain are built quite spacious. Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng have no pressure at all when walking inside.

At the same time, the interior is built quite flat, not rough, and quite solid, which invisibly demonstrates the excellent construction ability of the dwarves.

They came here according to the exact time, so there was no need to wait. Vol'jin took them directly to the Dwarf King's Palace. The four dwarf guards guarding the door operated the mechanism wheel and worked together to open the heavy door.

This process made Jie Liancheng couldn't help but mutter something in his heart.

[These dwarves are small in stature, but the things they build are quite large. ]

Of course, Xie Liancheng just complained in his heart. He was not stupid, so he couldn't help but say this.

When the door opened, the interior of the Dwarf King's Palace was not magnificent, but had the feeling of a medieval stone castle. There were some black iron utensils and ornaments inside. In addition, there were also a lot of furs of ferocious animals, which added a bit of warmth to the cold palace.

As soon as they came in, all eyes in the palace fell on them.

At this point in time, except for Copperforge's King Otto Copperforge, all other important members of Copperforge have arrived.

At this moment, all eyes were on them, constantly looking at them, and occasionally whispering to each other.

For Shi Lei and the others, this feeling was not very good.

Just then, Bale let out two loud dry coughs, then walked over with a loud laugh.

"Mr. Shi Lei, you are here!"

The previous battle had greatly changed Bale's opinion of the Great Zhou army led by Shi Lei. Now in the Dwarf King's Palace, he was the first to show goodwill and came up to talk.

Balai's words seemed to send out some kind of signal, and the dwarves in the hall came over to greet him. This also showed Balai's status in the dwarf community.

In this aspect, compared with Shi Lei, Jie Liancheng is more adept at it.

After all, before he traveled through time, he was also a public figure. He had dealt with sponsors, media interviews and the like, and had even appeared in some talks and variety shows.

Just then, the door opened again, and a dwarf in heavy armor strode in.

Then his eyes were immediately fixed on Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng, who were surrounded by a group of dwarves but still stood out from the crowd because of their height.

"You two must be generals from the Great Zhou. Thank you so much for coming to support us at Tonglubao this time!"

As he spoke, the dwarf who was walking over showed great generosity. The group of dwarves who had originally surrounded them, upon seeing him coming, all showed respect and made way for him.

However, Woking, who was standing aside, was obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

"Big brother."

After approaching, the dwarf whom Vol'jin called "Big Brother" smiled and patted Vol'jin's shoulder, which was considered as a greeting to his younger brother, and then his eyes fell on Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng again.

"I am Woking's elder brother, Baron Copperforge. Thank you for taking care of my brother Woking during this period!"

After just one encounter, Xie Liancheng was certain that this Baron, if he were in modern times, would be the kind of person who would be very popular at the wine table.

In comparison, when his big brother came, Woking, who was originally quite cocky, suddenly became silent and began to stand aside with an awkward look on his face, as if his entire sense of existence was taken away by his big brother.

Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng saw this situation, but said nothing.

Although they got along well with Woking, considering their status, it was better for them not to meddle in other people's affairs.

As reinforcements, for now they only need to maintain a good relationship with the dwarf commander-in-chief, Bale, and it is better to stay out of other things.

In this segment, Xie Liancheng, who held the title of deputy general, unexpectedly developed a new field for himself. He became like a diplomatic ambassador, chatting and laughing with Bale and Baron.

They didn't take their seats until the banquet officially began.

This made Woking secretly relieved. In fact, Jie Liancheng felt the same way.

He could indeed handle it, but he never liked dealing with this kind of thing, and there was nothing he could do this time.

Xie Liancheng, who had served as a deputy general under Shi Lei, knew that Shi Lei was the kind of person who did things quietly and did not like those empty talk.

In this case, considering their identities, he is the only one who can take over at this time.

Xie Liancheng was actually a little nervous. He hadn't done this kind of thing for a long time. He was secretly relieved when he handled it smoothly.

At this moment, a dwarf wearing an iron crown and looking at least 70% similar to Bale walked in.

There is no need to explain his identity, he is Otto Copperforge, the king of Copperforge!
