Wizard From Afar

The dwarf’s words echoed in the cave for a long time, allowing the three of them to follow him into the cracked "door" subconsciously, having several points of curiously using torch and firefly Shi Deng looked at everything around him.

What you see before you is a very spacious room with an area comparable to the round table hall of the Scarlet Blood Castle; the entire space is in the shape of a ring, with a huge column in the middle and a round arch on the top of the head. The design is as if it is directly covered on it.

Very peculiar.

Lu Sien and Oath Knight went around a few times, groping on the walls from time to time, and they were able to find a few "murals" on these walls—the colors had almost faded. But the rough lines can still be seen.

There are several grid-shaped hollows around the wall, which look like decorations, but according to the speculation of the gray pupil, these may be the vents of this hall.

The gray pupil suddenly reacted. The place where he was standing was deep in the earth, but he didn't feel any breathing difficulties, his mind was clear, and he didn't even feel depressed in his chest.

This is simply unimaginable-if this hall appears in any castle in the empire, it is probably just the living room of a shabby lord's house... But it's in the mountains, this group of five heads. How did the little dwarfs do it? !

"Master Loren, what are you doing?"

The unbelievable gray-eyed boy accidentally glanced, and found that the black hair wizard was half-kneeling on the ground, groping for the floor under his feet , His expression immediately became serious: "Did you find something?"

"Nothing." After removing the dust from his hands, Loren stood up: "It's just a little curious."

The old floor tiles, the surrounding walls, and the dust accumulated on them...

This hall is at least a few hundred years old, at least dating back to the ancient kingdom...In other words, this The history of this fortress is not inferior to that of the giant dragon kingdom.

In the era of the giant dragon kingdom, the Place of Origin of the Yunling dwarves, the earliest mythril pit...

Loren feels like he has touched some key places. Find out the real reason why Farnesis appeared in this fortress.

"An exquisite and ancient building, but it is not our purpose here." Oath Knight's indifferent words sounded: "I still haven't seen where the entrance is. This is really the Silver Helmet Mine. Is it the entrance to the house?"

"Yes, it is here." The dwarf replied in a muffled voice, hard like a stone: "As for the entrance...This is where you stand now."

Where is the station?

"I told you before I came in that the cave was naturally formed due to the collapse of the support column." The dwarf continued: "And we will repair the tunnel here, just to repair the collapsed part. ......"

The gray pupil on the side first touched his head, and then his complexion changed abruptly.

"Wait, you mean that this is not..."

"Of course this is not a mine, this is just an entrance." With that, the dwarf Paulis will right The hand pressed on the column in the center of the hall, and pressed hard on something that resembled the gate of a mechanism.

"Clang--!"

There was a sudden loud noise!

Along with the sound of the machine, the whole hall began to vibrate. The dust and gravel continued to slide from the top of the head and the walls on all sides, and the shaking became more and more violent.

The indifferent dwarf is still standing next to the column, motionless; the gray-eyed teenager and the vow Knight, who are looking astonished, stand in place, staring at the surrounding walls.

No, it's not right, not from the surrounding...

but underground.

Lower your head, the black hair wizard stared wide-eyed, not even think, has opened up the "spiritual horizon."

Soon, continuous rumbling sound passed down the floor Come... It was weak and faintly discernable at first, but soon it became more and more obvious and more intense.

In the next second, the column in the center of the hall began to rotate slowly, and the sound of the machine and countless gears was constantly coming from it, and the surrounding rumbling sound had immediately overwhelmed all movement.

"Stand firmly--!" The expressionless dwarf Paulis suddenly shouted:

"We are going to set off!"

Done?

The gray-eyed teenager with a look of astonishment hadn't figured out what he meant, he felt the floor under his feet suddenly fell, as if it had fallen straight down!

The oath Knight next to him is also stared wide-eyed, with the corners of his mouth pressed tightly, his expression is extremely nervous.

Only the black hair wizard face doesn't change, but he keeps twitching the corners of his mouth.

Yes, this looks incomparable gigantic hall, but it is actually an elevator!

Of course, whether it is an "elevator" or not is to be debated. With the blessing of "spiritual vision", Loren can only roughly perceive that the "disc" under his feet is operated by countless large and small gears and levers. Yes, and did not see any circuits, or the existence of similar circuits.

But in the next second, he will no longer be in the mood to guess what is missing.

"Holy Cross..."

The dumbfounded gray pupil was shocked to speechless. At this moment, his expression is the same as that of the giant dragon found on the glacier wasteland. The grid time is almost the same.

What appeared before their eyes was an extremely magnificent underground kingdom.

Countless "elevators" descend along the mountain wall, and countless spiral steel rails hover in the air; the huge gear above not only twists the "elevator" at the foot, but also brings the surrounding tracks and The columns are all rotating together;

On top of their heads, there are large and small. The "platform" of the masonry city is suspended and fixed in the air, like a pendant decoration on the balcony row upon row. Steel tracks and obsidian stone bridges are connected to each other;

Countless fluorite and Moonstone, according to a certain pattern, cover all tracks and platforms. Looking up, the night sky looks like Starry.

And when the three of them turned their eyes to their feet, a huge "steel arch" was gradually falling down the disc and appeared in front of them.

"This, this is Silver Helmet Mountain, this is the true face of Yunling Kingdom?" Lu Sien looked incredulous, and his throat kept twitching: "I, I know short... Yunling The kingdom’s forging and engineering skills are superb, and the empire is unmatched, but this is too..."

"No, you misunderstood." The dwarf Paulis said solemnly: "This is not the Fortress City area of ​​Silverhelm Mountain. , It’s not even part of the fortress."

"You mean...you didn’t build this place?"

"No, I mean it’s not even part of the city... In the terms of your empire, it's probably equivalent to the wilderness outside the countryside, and those deserted mountain villages, right?" Paulis shook his head:

"This is the outermost mining area, and it is still abandoned. Mine area."

"..." Lu Sien.

The disc stopped steadily, and a cloud of smoke rose.

"Then why is it abandoned again?" Oath Knight suddenly asked: "Because there are not enough mineral deposits?"

"That is only one aspect, it is very The small side."

The dwarf Paulis took a step forward and left the "Disc Hall" first, raising the torch in his hand and walking towards the steel arch: "More important... The Yunling Kingdom no longer has the strength to maintain such a huge Underground City."

"To open up the territory and expand the colony of Byrne, because the uprising drew too much labor; the subsequent civil war caused countless clouds The people of the Ling Kingdom fell into a fight with each other;

When we came back to his senses and re-used the settlements to fill the vacancies in the mines, we lost the colony’s supplies and couldn’t feed everything. The people;

So the old Underground City can only be abandoned one by one, and the redundant residents will be used to fill the vacancies in the fortresses... All of this originates from a surname;

...Torino."

Feeling the gaze from the front, the black hair wizard just smiled and shrugged.

This can be considered another version of "Knight King Legend", right?

The direction leading to the steel arch is a long masonry road. What made the three of them feel strange is that there are a series of neat and tidy guardrails on both sides of the road.

But when the gray pupil leaned forward, he found that it was not a guardrail at all, but a grave pile with an iron pick.

Side by side, row upon row, countless piles of graves.

"The law of the Yunling Kingdom, nobles with surnames will have their own ashes, civilians, especially miners, have to be buried near the mines for future generations to admire their names... because of them Only the name."

The silhouette holding the torch stopped in front of the steel arch. The nameplate on the door gleamed under the firelight. Loren squinted his eyes and looked at the words on it.

Platform No. 43, 9th Road.
