The six Mirelas who fell in front did not have Qin Lun's detection ability, so they all fell into a pile at this time. Fortunately, these people are very strong, and the elf rangers are not inferior to the professional apostles, and they used various methods to slow down the falling speed on the way, but they were not seriously injured at this time.
"What kind of place is this?" Just as Qin Lun and Elistine were in an embarrassing situation, Mileras exclaimed from the side.
Mileras' shout woke everyone up, and everyone stood up regardless of the pain on their bodies, and looked at the surrounding environment. They fell just now, and it seemed that they had stirred up a thick layer of dust in the pothole. Now everyone's vision is still a bit blurred, and a pungent stale breath penetrates through the nose, making everyone feel a itchy throat.
The silver clock in Qin Lun's eyes quietly disappeared, because he found that this pothole that should be the mountainside was filled with soft and elegant light, and it was nothing like the dark tunnel before.
After the aroused dust dissipated a bit, everyone looked at the surrounding environment with an unconcealable look of shock on their faces. The pothole in this mountainside is extremely wide, about 50 meters high, although the edge cannot be seen clearly due to the dim light, but after a rough observation, it can still be estimated that this place has at least tens of thousands of square meters of space.
At this time, everyone had already seen where the light source in the pit came from. It was a glowing crystal wall about 30 meters above the ground on the east side of the pit.
"It's the light coming in from the outside world. This is a wall of ice!" Longer, who has excellent observation skills, was the first to realize it, and exclaimed in surprise.
"The dozen or so stone pillars here don't seem to be formed naturally, they seem to be a kind of artificial construction!" An elf ranger murmured.
Everyone looked in that direction, and soon understood the meaning of his words. In the center of the pothole, there are twelve pairs of stone pillars about 20 meters high.
The bases of these stone pillars are very thick, and each one needs more than a dozen adults to embrace it. It's just that it's not accurate to say that they are stone pillars, because these stone pillars are not connected to the top of the pit. From the comparison of length, width and height, they are more like twelve thick and short giant stone piers.
After careful observation, the astonishment on everyone's faces became even stronger. There are several flat and spacious channels running through the bottom of these stone piers, which are similar to canals, but compared with the canals, the bottom is a little shallower.
In addition, several huge stone cables are connected to the upper ends of the stone piers. Looking along the stone cables, everyone was surprised to find that there was not only one tunnel through which they fell into this mountainside cave.
On the top and top of the stone wall, there are also dozens of huge drum-shaped tunnels connecting this cave. At a glance, it looks like a giant beehive. Most of the stone cables connected to the stone piers are connected to these tunnels.
It seems that Qin Lun and Stark had some deviations when they judged that the tunnel was a lair of some kind of giant snake. These tunnels were originally supposed to be connected to the rocky cave below, but were only later occupied by some kind of mollusk.
"Pentagram crystal mirror!" Qin Lun looked at everything in front of him, and his heart moved. A huge crystal mirror appeared under his feet. The edge of a tunnel connected by stone cables.
"These things... don't seem to be stone pillars!" Standing under a stone pier, Mileras suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "This is a furnace! These are giant furnaces!"
Everyone was startled, and they leaned forward to watch. Sure enough, the outline of the furnace door and the blocked tuyere could be vaguely seen on the lower part of the dusty stone pier.
At the same time, everyone thought of the flat and spacious channels at the bottom of the stone pier. Those are not water channels, but channels for furnace water, and perhaps some of them are the slots for the molten iron to be discharged from the furnace.
At this time, Qin Lun who skimmed the high-altitude tunnel also discovered something. He glanced at a square object at the entrance of the tunnel, and gently scratched the stone rope under his feet with a dagger, and soon saw the dark brown rust inside the stone rope.
These stone cables are not real stones, but iron cables covered with a layer of stone chips. After contacting the square object in the tunnel, everyone understood that it should be the aerial cable car that provided ore to the twelve furnaces.
"Did we really find the furnace castle of the Santana dwarves in ancient times?" An incredible thought floated up in everyone's mind, but they felt it was taken for granted.
"Your Royal Highness, we, we..." An elf ranger next to Mileras looked excited and looked at Qin Lun and Mileras expectantly.
"Even if you want to explore, at least you have to wait until all the partners on the ground come down. If you leave now, Miss Kelly will be furious if she doesn't see you later!" Qin Lun reminded with a smile, "Besides, here There should be other dangers, it may have become a lair for some giant creatures, it's better to be careful."
"Then... well, let's wait for them first!" Thinking of Kelly's fierceness, not to mention a few elf rangers, even Mileras couldn't help shrinking his neck.
It is very strange to say that this Sun Elf prince can be regarded as a noble and glamorous arrogance in terms of intelligence and strength. It's just that as soon as he meets Kelly, he will immediately become paralyzed, and he will always be eaten to death by her. People who don't know the relationship between the two thought it was tracheitis caused by mutual love. In fact, only the people around Mileras know that this is the rhythm of the natural enemy.
"Apostle No. 70053, you discovered the unknown dwarf castle in the Alamer Mountains, please explore more here. The increased world exploration here will give twice the extra reward."
Looking at the reminder information on the death list, Qin Lun's smile grew wider. Although they rejected Mileras's proposal to go deep into the castle immediately, everyone still couldn't suppress their curiosity and began to explore in the furnace area of this dwarf castle.
"Feral..." Looking at the scattered companions, Elistin couldn't help pulling Qin Lun's sleeve, and looked at Qin Lun resentfully.
"There will be time to explore later. Your radius is broken. If you don't want your arm to grow deformed in the future, please be quiet!" Qin Lun replied angrily, took out a box of green ointment from his arms, and gave it to the elf druid. Arms smeared up.
This box of ointment is also one of the adventure items prepared by Adeline and Menon for the two of them. It is a kind of trauma ointment, and its effect is comparable to the best moonlight intermittent ointment. Priest Menon, who believed in the goddess of life, Angress, could concoct the best restoration items as long as he had the materials.
"Your Royal Highness, come here and have a look!" After Qin Lun had almost dealt with Iristen, several elf rangers who had already walked far away suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Be gentle, we're not on a picnic!" Qin Lun stopped him dumbfounded.
"Forget it, Filar, don't blame them, even I can't help it!" Mileras smiled and waved his hands, "This time is too depressing, always hovering between life and death. Maybe this time We may not be able to get out of here, let us face death with a smile!"
"Hehe, Mileras, I feel that you are much more cheerful!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
After having a chat with him by the bonfire two days ago, the sun elf prince seemed to put aside all his worries and began to devote himself to this life-or-death journey like a real adventurer, treating it as a rare treasure. adventure tour.
"Look!" Mileras didn't care about Qin Lun's resentment at all, stood in front of a huge stone tablet found by the elf ranger, pointed at it excitedly and said, "I know where this is, Iron Star Fort, Austria The Iron Star Fortress of the Kingdom of Gran Dwarves! Feral, we have found an ancient legend!"
This monument stands in front of one of the rearmost furnaces, and the text engraved on it has been blurred. However, under the cleaning of Mileras and several other elf rangers, the largest ancient characters on the top can still be seen clearly.
In the translation of Broken Starry Sky, these words have two names, one is called "The Wall of Alamer", and the other is "Iron Stone Star". According to the records of the elves, this place is part of the dwarf Santana Empire, the "Iron Star Fortress" of the Kingdom of Ogrand, which was established more than 6,500 years ago.
"Apostle No. 70053, you have found the legendary 'Iron Star Fortress' in Ogrand, and the world exploration rate has increased by 0.202%. If you can find other relevant written records in the castle, the world exploration rate will continue to increase."
"This is just the furnace area of the castle. I really want to visit other parts of the castle right away. Why haven't Ms. Kelly and the others come down!" Mileras finally couldn't help complaining.
Qin Lun secretly laughed in his heart. The rescued dared to complain about the rescuer. If Kelly heard Mileras's complaint, the Japanese elf prince would inevitably be beaten up.
Qin Lun looked at the huge stone tablet in front of him, and there was also a flash of excitement in his eyes. His curiosity was actually no less than that of Mileras and other elves. However, his curiosity is different from that of Mileras and others. The story elves are just excited to find Iron Star Castle, curious about the history and records of this castle.
Apart from these, Qin Lun is also very interested in everything else in this Iron Star Fort. For example: twelve giant furnaces in front of you!
Qin Lun circled around a furnace slowly, with a black and red target flashing in the pupil of his left eye, using his perspective ability to explore the inside of the furnace.
After thousands of years of precipitation, these furnaces have completely turned into fossils, and the furnaces that were once used to smelt ore have long been blocked. The interior can only distinguish the structure of the furnace through the distinction of its different stones.
What surprised Qin Lun was that the bottom of these furnaces was actually a loose limestone structure, forming a unique pipeline leading directly to the deep underground in the field of vision of his left eye.
After continuously observing several furnaces, Qin Lun finally confirmed the structure of this furnace. Although limited by perception, he could only see a depth of more than a hundred meters below the furnace, but he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that the pipes at the bottom of these furnaces might extend to the depths of the entire Alamer Mountains.
Were the Alamere Mountains once an active volcano? The dwarves of Santana dared to build a castle in the crater, directly using the underground lava to forge steel!
Qin Lun felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and suddenly he was full of great anticipation for the next exploration!
