On the Seven Towers

The dwarf kingdom is located in the northwest of the continent. It consists of a small plain facing the sea and a mountain behind, a much larger mountainous area, and an intricate underground city. The capital of the kingdom lies underground, an underground city called Hagro.

There are continuous mountains separating the Dwarf Kingdom from the western part of the empire. To get to the Dwarf Kingdom from the empire, you have to climb over high mountains, and there are no ready-made roads. It is very difficult to walk either on foot or on horseback, not to mention that there are many continents in these mountains. A ferocious monster rarely seen elsewhere.

Even if a mage wants to fly over, it is very difficult, because the highest mountains in the middle of the mountainous area have a cold climate and thin air. A mage has to fly to a very high altitude to cross these mountains. If the realm is not enough and the strength is not strong, it is easy to He collapsed halfway due to lack of oxygen.

Therefore, although the distance between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Purple Eagle Empire is not too far, there is almost no communication between the two countries, and there is no overland trade. Only a small number of adventurers and exiles will cross these mountain roads.

But the sea route is much more convenient, so the main trading partners of the dwarf kingdom are the orc tribes, elven kingdoms, southern city-states and Pearl Islands with coastlines in the western part of the continent.

However, the dwarves are generally a relatively xenophobic race, and they are very wary of foreign merchants. All foreign merchants must have a permit issued by the port governor of the dwarf kingdom before they can land in their ports.

But this is not difficult for Xiao Chen. He is currently holding a permit from the Sea Clan in his hand.

The Hou Yi had been sailing at sea for six or seven days, and it was less than a day's journey from Crowell.

Xiao Chen put down the certificate in his hand and said to Farrell in front of him: "Uncle Farrell, what do you want from me?"

Farrell said: "Xiao Chen, can you tell me, what are you going to do? Previously, I was very excited to show off my newly acquired forging skills in front of those old-fashioned people, but now, after thinking about it carefully, , I feel that as long as the Tower of China is there, things will never happen smoothly. What plans do you have, what do you want to do to the dwarf kingdom? "

Xiao Chen laughed and said: "Uncle Farrell, what you said is too exaggerated. In fact, we are going to have a good talk with them."

Farrell said: "Although I have been working in the factory in Hebang New City these years, the things you have done are very sensational, and people around you are talking about them over and over again, so I also heard about them. A lot. He injured the king in the Iberia Kingdom and went against the queen. He also took away many dark elves in the Elf Kingdom and went to war with two countries on the mainland and killed the Purple Eagle Empire. Emperor. Not long ago, he killed Kiros, the Assassin of Light.

Just by counting, three kings and two saints have died directly or indirectly at your hands. Are you really not going to turn the dwarf kingdom upside down..."

"Ahem..." Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Farrell said one by one. He explained, "Uncle Farrell, you have to know that we never look for trouble on our own. Many times, various things come to us. But having said that, if we really have a conflict with the dwarf kingdom, right? It’s not a bad thing for you, right?”

"I will not sympathize with those kings and nobles at all. But if the Dwarf Kingdom really conflicts with us, the people in the front will definitely be the civilians and serfs. I know how powerful our Tower of China is now, Those people will definitely die under gunfire by then!" Farrell said with some excitement, "This...this is what I am afraid of seeing."

Xiao Chen touched his nose. He had to admit that Farrell's worries were justified. There was no such straightforward plan in the plan he had thought about secretly. He said: "As long as they can let us take back the Forging Tower, I won't make it too difficult for them."

"That's the problem." Farrell said: "In the past few days, I have carefully recalled some legends about ancient ruins that I heard in the dwarf kingdom. In the legend, the ruins have the power of both ice and fire. Legend has it that The best holy weapons in the Dwarf Kingdom are all smelted by the power of fire and quenched by the power of ice. Comparing these legends with the appearance of the Forging Tower you told us before, this relic in the hands of the royal family is very strange. It could be the Forge Tower itself."

"Oh, that's a good thing. It's much better than disappearing without knowing where to go."

"But this is not something to be thankful for. This ruins has always been the biggest support used by the royal family and high-ranking nobles to control the dwarf kingdom. I'm afraid they won't even let us see it, let alone take it away."

Xiao Chen held his chin and looked at Farrell, his eyes showing the emotion of being determined to win, which made Farrell feel a little scared: "You have already made up your mind and you will get it no matter what, right?"

"Yes. The Forged Tower will definitely return to our hands. Uncle Farrell, no one can stop this, but for your sake, I will try not to let the struggle affect ordinary people. Try to..." Xiao Chen said.

"I..., okay. I believe you. I'm not a very kind person. I know very well that some prices are unavoidable." Farrell sighed, "Another thing is that I remembered that I did have a 'friend' in Crowell Port. When I was exiled from my family, I brought my family all the way to Crowell. It was this person who helped me to make connections and let me work for a human lord. Later, I was imprisoned by the lord and forced to constantly make equipment for him. I later recalled what happened at that time and realized that I should have been sold to that lord by him."

"In other words, he is your enemy?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Enemy..., in the beginning, especially after Lisa left, I hated him so much that I dreamed of smashing him into a pulp with a hammer. But later, somehow, I lost interest in him. I thought, I was also at fault. If I hadn't gotten myself exiled, none of this would have happened. If I hadn't insisted on going to the human territory and followed his initial suggestion to go to the Elf Kingdom, everything would have been different. I don't know if I would still smash him with a hammer when I see him now."

"What is his identity?"

"Ansaldo, the governor of Crowell."
