Luo Ling and his group appeared in the hall of the ruins. In addition to them, Yasen, Sinclair and several elite dwarf warriors also followed them down.
The dwarves paid a huge price to defeat the golems and evil spirits, so naturally they had to go to the ruins to see what was going on. Even Adam could not object.
The light in the hall seemed bright under the illumination of the runes, but the scars and blood on everyone's bodies, as well as the rusty golems around, made the atmosphere in the hall heavy and depressing.
The golem that attacked Adam was limping towards the crowd on its rusty legs.
"Last brother, it's time for you to return to peace." Yassen said.
The dwarves sang the ancient hymn, and Arsen approached the golem with his hammer. Like its companions, the golem was also awakened by the song to a memory of the past.
It first looked around, then stopped, stood in a tilted position, and stared blankly at the hammer in the village chief's hand.
"Let me free you." Yassen said in a deep voice.
The golem actually knelt down, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and made a gesture of a dwarf worshiping his ancestors.
Every dwarf is so familiar with this action that even if they leave the dwarf kingdom, they will still use it on the annual sacrificial day. The dwarves singing around were infected by this gesture, and their singing became heavier, and tears welled up in the eyes of many people.
Village chief Yasen looked solemn. He raised his war hammer high and smashed it down heavily. A white soul broke out of the shell and lingered above the dwarves' heads for a long time until the last verse was finished, then it dissipated into the air.
After watching this scene, Luo Ling sighed softly, but saw that Elena's eyes were already blurred with tears.
"Don't look at me." She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, wrinkled her nose and took a breath, "These dwarves don't seem as annoying as described in the story."
Luo Ling took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gave it to her.
Elaina took it and wiped it, then said, "Okay, okay, we should keep moving forward. Who knows if it's too late, some strange thing inside will awaken again."
There is only one door in this hall. Pushing open the door and walking forward, you will enter a smaller hall.
This room did not have any exit, but the walls were covered with murals praising the civil and military achievements of the Black Dragon Empire. On the ground in the middle of the room, twelve circular magic circles were arranged in a three by four pattern.
Elena pulled Luo Ling's sleeve and whispered, "Look, that painting is of that bad guy Luca. They actually portrayed the elf kneeling and begging for mercy. It makes me so angry."
"Don't worry, I'll help you destroy the mural when we come back." Luo Ling said with a smile.
"real?"
"Of course, I will also blow up the entire ruins and send the Black Dragon Empire to hell." Luo Ling looked very confident.
"You fooled me again!"

"This should be the entrance to the real ruins." Adam frowned and said, "Damn, why are there twelve entrances!"
"Didn't your information say there were nine? It seems that the remaining information is wrong." Luo Ling asked.
"My information was inferred by an ancestor based on incomplete drawings. If I had known this, I should have brought more people with me. Unfortunately, Matthew and the others..."
"Since there are still three vacancies, let us send three people to go in with you," said Yasen.
A Dan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but was stopped by Luo Ling. She whispered, "Even if you object, once we all go in, can you stop the dwarves from coming in through the remaining three openings?"
Seeing Adam's expression, Yasen snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that we dwarves are as greedy as some humans. We don't need to share any treasures with you, but I believe there are still our brothers trapped in those metal coffins. We must rescue them!"
Luo Ling said, "Village Chief Yasen, the proceeds from exploring the ruins should be distributed fairly, not to mention that you have already made so many sacrifices. Once we find out the truth, we will naturally distribute the spoils according to our respective contributions. I think Mr. Adam will not object to this, right?"
"Mr. Luo Ling!"
"Distribution based on contribution is a rule we set a long time ago. Everything the dwarves have done is enough to prove that they are qualified to be our partners." Luo Ling insisted.
"Besides, your information does not mention that there are so many powerful golems. Without the help of these dwarves, we would never be able to enter the ruins!" Chen Hansheng also said, "How do you know that there is no place inside that needs the help of dwarves?"
"Yes, this hall has obvious dwarven style. I guess the dwarves participated in its design and construction. I'm just a blacksmith, but Village Chief Yasen is very knowledgeable about dwarven architecture. As long as they are not fools, they should be taken in." Farrell said.
Adan found himself alone and weak. He glanced at Aura subconsciously, but her sister also said: "Brother, I think they have a point. We don't have many choices."
"Okay, I agree. But you need to obey our unified command." Adam said to Yasen.
"That's no problem. Lady Luo Ling has proven herself to be an excellent commander. If she hadn't been so keen in discovering that the dwarf's soul was imprisoned in the middle of the golem, we would still be fighting a desperate battle with our own brothers! We, the dwarves of the valley, owe Lady Luo Ling. In the ruins, we will definitely obey her command!" said Village Chief Yasen.
"Hmph, let's get started." Adam said nothing more and stood on a circular magic circle on the left side of the middle. The diameter of this magic circle was only one meter, but it was quite complicated. Aura stood on his right.
"Ms. Luo Ling, this magic circle is not simple. It doesn't seem to be a simple teleportation circle." Morey said as he stared at the magic circle under his feet.
"Will there be any danger?" Luo Ling asked.
"From the structure of the array itself and the components that I understand, the array itself should be harmless, but I don't understand its specific function," Morey said.
"At this point, there's nothing much to think about. Come on." Luo Ling stood behind Adam, and the others also stood on the remaining magic circle, circling Adam and Aura. The three dwarves who participated also stood up, namely the village chief Yasen, the hunting captain Sinclair and another mid-level warrior Boto.
Outside the magic circle, there are many dwarf warriors holding weapons and guarding the magic circle.
"If we don't return in three days, you will seal up this ruin," Yasen said to the dwarves.
A'dan and Aura together sent the Black Dragon Empire's royal family's inherited fighting spirit into the teleportation array. The two magic arrays under their feet first emitted light, and then the light slowly spread outward, and finally became twelve magic arrays emitting light together.
The light enveloped the twelve people, and after a moment, everyone disappeared on the teleportation array together.
