Ryan held Fulia's hand and walked through the mountains and forests. This place is located in the southwestern corner of the continent. There are endless mountains everywhere and lush trees. According to Fulia, the rock at the entrance to the dwarf territory The fortress is located deep here. Because there are powerful monsters in the periphery, ordinary humans do not dare to go deep into it. This is similar to the Holy Land of the elves, Demon Moon City, except that Demon Moon City is floating on the sky, while the dwarven capital of Blackrock City lies deep underground,
Ryan took Fulia and stood on a steep mountain. He looked at the Cassano military camp at the foot of the mountain, which was no bigger than an ant and said to Fulia: "The terrain here is very dangerous. If an army is deployed here, , you can hold this place from a high position, no wonder the dwarves built a fortress here, but why didn't I see where the fortress is."
"Haha, of course you can't see it Ryan, because dwarf architecture is completely different from that of humans and elves. Their favorite thing is to dig and dig, so the cities where dwarves live are usually underground. You can naturally see It’s nothing like the majestic architectural style of human beings.” Fulia replied with a smile.
Ryan affectionately helped Fulia tidy up her hair that was slightly scattered by the mountain wind on her forehead. This action also made the 4 men, 4 women and 8 Queen's guards beside Fulia look unhappy, but Fulia But Leah enjoyed Ryan's concern so much that the eight proud guards of the Elf Queen could only stare at Ryan with eyes that were about to spit out fire. In their eyes, the Elf Queen was supreme. Why? Perhaps the human being in front of me was being blasphemed with such an intimate gesture.
After everyone took a break, Fulia took Ryan and the others on the road again. This time, Ryan and the others hoped to use the dwarf territory to go around to the south of Moon City. They brought a total of 15,000 warriors from Cassano, but so many All the people approaching the Rock Fortress at once would inevitably cause misunderstandings among the dwarves, so Ryan and Fulia each took their 8 personal guards and went to the Rock Fortress to communicate with the dwarf general manager. They would wait for the other party's permission to attack them in batches. Cassano's troops mobilized,
It was also the first time for Ryan to come here. On the way, he heard Freya describe to him the deeds of the dwarves. If the human Moon Moon City was built to commemorate the elf teaching magic to humans, it was built based on the elf capital Demon Moon City. If so, then the Blackstone Auction House commemorates the dwarves who created various magic items for humans, and is named after the dwarven capital Blackstone City.
If you want to go to Demon Moon City, you must open the teleportation magic circle in several elven ruins in the Whispering Forest. If you want to enter Blackstone City, you can only enter from the rock fortress here, and then follow the underground dug by the dwarves. The passage finally reaches Blackstone City deep in the earth, which is the residence of the dwarf king.
After walking for a while, Ryan suddenly realized that someone was lurking in the dense woods on both sides of the road. He squeezed Fulia's hand gently, and the latter smiled at him, and then signaled his guards to come up. After explaining the purpose of her visit, a female queen guard, after getting Freya's order, put the long bow on her back, as well as the magic sword, dagger and other weapons on her body, and then strode forward. , while others stayed in place and put away all their weapons, showing their empty hands to show that they had no ill intentions.
"I am Tevisti, the personal guard of Her Majesty the Queen of the Elf, Yue Xi. This time I come here hoping to meet Lombard of the Rock Fortress, the ale master." The female guard shouted three times in a row. Only then did a deep voice come out from the dense woods: "You are Yuexi, the Yuexi who drank four barrels of ale in one go."
"It's me." Twisty, Yuexi smiled slightly. Following her answer, several male dwarves walked out of the woods. They were about 1.5 meters tall, but their muscles were They are quite developed, and their skin is all dark brown without exception. I don’t know if they are born like this or because they live underground all year round. However, the deepest impression these dwarves have on Ryan is their thick beards. I believe this can definitely exceed the density of the surrounding woods.
"Aha, Yue Xi and you guys are here again. It just so happens that the thunder wine brewed by Sam is ready to drink. We will definitely not lose to you this time." Several dwarves seemed to be very familiar with Yue Xi and the others. Soon they came together and started chatting affectionately.
In Ryan's ears, he heard Yue Xi, a slender female elf about 2 meters tall, chatting about drinking with several thick male dwarves opposite, about 1.5 meters tall. He felt very weird in his heart. He whispered Fulia whispered in her ear: "Why do your personal guards like to drink too much?"
"Hehe, that's not alcoholism. The favorite thing of dwarves is drinking. If a friend comes to visit and can't drink, then he is not a good friend." Fulia explained to Ryan with a smile, and at the same time there was a look in her eyes. A little mischievous look: "Ryan, if you can drink everyone on the other side by yourself, then even if all 15,000 of our people are crowded inside the Rock Fortress, the dwarves will never say anything. You won't tolerate them being exposed outside. Let the sun and rain shine.”
As soon as Ryan heard about drinking, his face suddenly turned bitter. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the conversation between the dwarf and Yue Xi came to an end. The leading dwarf dropped his two-handed battle ax on the ground and strode Walking towards Fulia, the ax was almost 1.5 meters long, about the same height as him, and it definitely looked heavy. However, it seemed like nothing in the hands of the opponent. It seemed that the dwarf was born with supernatural power. It's absolutely true,
"Hello, Her Majesty the Queen, I am the scout captain Jebina, and welcome you to the Rock Fortress." The leader of the dwarf said loudly, but he soon saw the humans next to Fulia, and his expression was troubled. He said happily: "But we dwarves don't welcome these humans very much. They are too cunning and often deceive us."
"Hello, Captain JB." Freya glanced at Ryan with her lips pursed, and said to the dwarf: "But I think the humans around me are not the ones you mentioned, because this human magician The master is my husband, and the others are his bodyguards.”
"Husband, are you married? Mother Earth is here. This is huge news. Why hasn't our King been invited?" Jebina shouted loudly. His voice was really too loud. There was an echo in the dense woods,
Fulia's face turned slightly red, and she explained in a low voice: "No, we haven't had the wedding ceremony yet, but I won't like any other man except him."
"Ah, then he must not be that kind of cunning human. Elves are the purest friends of our dwarves. As the elf queen, the man you like must be the best. Hey, what is your name? We are going to have it tonight. Drink a few barrels of it, Sam's thunder wine has the greatest stamina. If you can beat us in drinking it, we will recognize you as Her Majesty's man. If you come to Rock Fortress in the future, you will be a friend of our dwarves."
Ryan looked at Captain JBina dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but Fulia helped him out: "Let's talk about this later. We are here this time. I hope to meet His Majesty the King."
"Ah, of course there is no problem. Although Blackstone City has declared martial law, the Elf Queen's request will not be rejected." Jebina said,
"Martial law is imposed. What's the reason for that?" Fuliya was very surprised by Jebina's answer. She asked: "As far as I know, from the first day of establishment of Black Rock City, it seems that such a situation has rarely happened. Unless you are facing a life-and-death situation, can you say... "
"I don't know what happened, but a strange creature appeared on the bottom floor of Black Rock City. All the dwarves who saw it were petrified. In order to reduce losses, His Majesty the King had to temporarily block the passage and declare martial law. Damn it, I don’t know what that thing is, I just heard it from Brother De, who just came back from Black Rock City.”
"So that's it. Maybe we can help a little bit, but before that, we still have many companions stationed at the foot of the mountain. They can't be waiting outside for news." Fulia said: "How about Please take me to see Director Lombard first..."
"Oh, since they are your friends, they are also friends of our dwarves. Why not invite them to come together first, so as not to waste time by going back and forth." Jebina said,
Fulia said with a smile: "We have many friends. I estimate that we can almost fill the entire Rock Fortress. We'd better meet Chief Lombard first."
"Fill the Rock Fortress. Mother Earth is here. We have a total of 1,723 companions in the Rock Fortress, but they only occupy a small part of the space. Your Majesty, how many companions do you have? They can actually fill the whole place." fortress."
After hearing this, Ryan fully understood the character of the dwarves. They are relatively simple people. Although they are strong and straightforward, they have no tact when it comes to good friends. Otherwise, many words will not come out of your mouth. As long as you are interacting with them. If you can talk straightforwardly and have a drink with them, then it seems very simple to call a few dwarf friends.
Captain Jebina thought about it again and again, and finally decided to take them to see the manager of the Rock Fortress according to Fulia's request. Then the next matter would naturally be solved by the Lombard manager. As for Jebina, Bi Na himself was thinking about having a drink with Yue Xi and the others in the evening, and then having a few drinks with Ryan to see what is so good about this man who is favored by the Elf Queen.
