The dwarf ruins are one of the main plots of "Hybrid". At that time, the protagonist left the elf forest and began to travel in various places in the Chaos Continent to start his great cause of revenge. For convenience, the protagonist went to the mercenary union to register as a mercenary. The newly registered mercenaries are all E-level, and can only accept some very simple E-level tasks like errands. Then the protagonist saw the level-free "Explore Gnome Ruins" quest. As long as he brought back an S-level material from the gnome ruins, his mercenary level could be raised to A at a rocket-like speed, and all permissions would be greatly improved. , you can even form a mercenary group.
After the protagonist completed the task, a mercenary team that also went to the gnome ruins sent him an invitation, where the protagonist met his long-term enemy. However, at that time, because both sides concealed their identities, they cooperated quite happily, and even had a feeling of sympathy for each other. That is, since then, a group of fu girls who were discussing philosophy appeared in the comments of "Mixed Blood". Du Ze seriously suspected that the doujinshi in his hands was the result of their discussion, too Nima learned it.
The gnome ruins are divided into two cities: the outer city is the main production area of the gnomes, and the inner city is the living area of the gnomes. In the fourth era, the gnomes covered the sky with one hand, and a steady stream of materials and treasures were sent to the gnome city, the steel city that was the core of the entire Chaos Continent. Since the gnomes disappeared, gnome ruins have been developed into treasure copies by other races. Although there are many organs in it, as long as you get a drop of the dwarf inheritance, it is not a problem to get rich overnight. The mercenary team where the protagonist and the old enemy are located is very powerful, and they even broke through the outer city and rushed into the inner city.
In the inner city, they found a very magical door, but could not open it. Everyone believes that the dwarf's treasure is inside. They try their best to open the door, but they return in vain, until the protagonist touches the door. Under everyone's shocked eyes, the protagonist is sucked in by the door. When the protagonist wakes up, he finds that he has awakened the dwarf bloodline, and then learns that this gate is called the Gate of Wisdom, which is where the dwarfs stimulate their talent in blacksmithing. Only after completing all the courses can the protagonist leave here. When the protagonist leaves the Gate of Wisdom, he has mastered Gnome and learned to make artifacts.
"click, click, click..."
The sound of footsteps from far and near interrupted Du Ze's memory. Du Ze and Xiu looked to the other end of the street, and a tall figure slowly walked over. It was an old mechanical puppet, its parts could be heard clinking every step of the way, and its appearance was even worse than the one-star mechanical puppet behind Du Ze, but on its chest, But there are five stars.
The one-star mechanical puppet stood upright and said angrily to the old mechanical puppet: "The number XH17178 has sent the lost individual to the 'home'."
The voice of the old mechanical puppet was also electronically synthesized, but Du Ze felt that there was a touch of humanity in its voice: "Stand by."
"Di-has been accepted, switch to standby mode."
The one-star mechanical puppet put Du Ze and Xiu down and silently stepped aside. At this moment, the old mechanical puppet looked at Du Ze and Xiu. When it saw Xiu in the form of a dwarf, the blue light in its eyes flickered violently, and even its voice trembled.
"Welcome back to 'home', child." The blue light of the old mechanical puppet gave a tender feeling. "You can call me old John."
Seeing Xiu look completely incomprehensible, Old John muttered to himself, "Have you been lost for too long? My child." It turned to the one-star mechanical puppet and gave an order: "Take him to the Gate of Wisdom."
"Di-has been accepted."
The one-star mechanical puppet reached out and grabbed Xiu in his hand. The movements were big but gentle, but Xiu held onto Du Ze tightly and refused to let go. The mechanical puppet paused for a moment, then grabbed Du Ze and took him away.
On the mechanical puppet, Xiu's eyes widened: "What are they going to do?"
Just send you to school.
Du Ze replied calmly, "I'll let you learn gnome language."
During the conversation, they had reached a circular square. The square was empty, except for a tall metal door half-suspended in the air. That door just floated abruptly in the middle of the square, without the support of the wall up, down, left and right, very strange. The mechanical puppet stopped in front of the Gate of Wisdom and put down Xiu and Du Ze.
Xiu looked up at the metal door curiously. It was engraved with some wonderful runes and patterns. It seemed to contain some kind of truth and wisdom that was difficult to decipher. He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. know more.
There was a burst of suction from his fingertips, and Xiu came back to his senses in an instant, and found that he had been sucked into his fingers by the door unknowingly, and the suction from the door was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow him whole. Xiu turned his head in a panic, and found that Du Ze was already some distance away from him.
"How is this going?"
Mrs. Xiao Zheng's panicked appearance really made people feel the urge to hold him in her arms for protection. Du Ze began to comfort his children: "Don't be afraid, you will become stronger after entering."
"Aren't you together?"
"I can not get in."
Wen Yanxiu pulled out his hand forcefully, took a few steps backwards and grabbed Du Ze's right hand. However, Xiu's hand still couldn't be pulled out from the metal door. The metal that was holding Xiu's hand stretched like a QQ candy but kept falling off. Then, it shrank back suddenly, pulling Du Ze and Xiu to Wisdom with a snap. on the door. The little phoenix was directly smashed on the door and slipped down dizzy. Du Ze was okay, he just felt that he had been hit by the metal door, and the place where Xiu was in contact with the metal door was stuck, and he was being pulled bit by bit. inhale. Even so, Xiu still held Du Ze's right hand tightly, and Du Ze only felt pain in the place where he was caught. "Let go."
"No." The light that flashed in Xiu's amber eyes was almost paranoid: "You can't leave my sight."
Bear boy, you are wayward! The person who needs to study hard every day is you, not a niche student! What's the matter with the visual sense of the first time a little kid like Mom is going to school and asking his parents to accompany him to read!
At this time, the little phoenix finally woke up from the dizziness. It waved its small wings and cried out as it watched the tug-of-war of this century.
"Chibi, Chibi, Chibi."
Seeing that Du Ze and Xiu were so inextricably entangled, there was no time for him to ignore it. Little Phoenix flapped his little wings vigorously, but he was not very proficient in flying, and stumbled to Du Ze to find a sense of existence. Du Ze only felt that his nose had been slammed hard, and his vision was full of the quivering fluff. Little Phoenix lay on his face and let out a jubilant cry.
"Chibi."
Bear child + cute pet = a disaster.
No matter how unhappy Xiu was, the increasingly powerful gravitational force still pulled him into the door. Xiu Xiaoxiao's hand slid from Du Ze's wrist to his palm, and finally tugged at the doujinshi on Du Ze's hand. Du Ze, who finally got rid of the little phoenix, saw this situation and immediately had a bad premonition. Then, in the sound of "tear" the book was torn, his premonition became a reality.
After inhaling the flaxen-haired dwarf, the Gate of Wisdom gradually returned to its original state. Only a certain idiot stared blankly at the incomplete doujinshi in his hand in front of the door, and a thousand words condensed into one sentence: WTF!
The little phoenix sitting on the ground saw the gloomy glance of his "mother", spread his wings and sold a cuteness: "啾bi~"
Calm down, that's the protagonist's cute pet, untouchable.
Du Ze took a deep breath and opened the doujinshi tremblingly. The doujinshi has a total of 40 pages, and Xiu directly took away 1/5. Du Ze looked at it, and the contents that were taken away were mainly handjobs, oral sex, and human play—should he thank God again for not letting the protagonist see the change of form? Du Ze hugged his doujinshi and wanted to cry: When will these days of worrying come to an end
"click, click, click..."
It was only at this point that Old John walked to the square. It looked at Du Ze who was alone, and the blue light flashed: "He went in, right?"
Seeing Du Ze nod his head expressionlessly, Old John let out a laugh. It was very strange that a machine could laugh so happily.
"It's good, I thought I would never have the chance to see these little masters again - no no no, I can't say they are small, they always don't like words related to 'short'." Old John laughed: " They're always awkward and cute, aren't they?"
The little phoenix seemed to be very curious about old John, and it flapped its wings vigorously, trying to get on the shoulders of old John. Old John squatted down and let the little phoenix step on its slightly rusted shoulders. It straightened up and looked at the metal door. "It takes 300 days for a dwarf to master blacksmithing. There is a second hand of the wheel of time in the gate of wisdom. Time passes faster than the time outside. The ratio of time is 60:1, and he can only come out after about 5 days."
Du Ze knew this from the novel. The great thing about the dwarfs was that they not only controlled space, but also time. Under the description of Zhiqiu on a page, it seems that as long as the dwarfs are given enough time, they can even invent machines that travel through time and space. However, what the dwarfs lack most is time. For unknown reasons, they are unknowingly annihilated in the long river of history.
At this time, Old John sent an invitation to Du Ze.
"Want to visit our 'home'? Dwarf friend."

Xiu woke up and found that the place he was in was a silver-white enclosed space with no exit and no entrance—he was sucked in by that door.
Just as Xiu was about to stand up, his clothes slipped off. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his hands—no longer the slender hands of an elf, but a pair of small hands resembling a child. Not only his hands, but his body nearly doubled in size, as if he had been casted on the magic of rejuvenation.
Xiu dragged his clothes to the wall in a panic, and the silver-white wall vaguely reflected a… dwarf. Xiu looked at the dwarf with short flaxen hair and a pair of fairy ears across from him, and reached out hesitantly to touch the wall.
this is me
Suddenly, a blue light swept across, and a short figure appeared in front of Xiu. Xiu subconsciously became alert, and then he was stunned, because the short man who appeared opposite him was a dwarf, the same dwarf as him.
"Welcome to the Gate of Wisdom, child." The dwarf smiled at Xiu. "Don't be nervous, as long as you study hard, the lessons here are very simple. Do you have any questions? You can ask them now."
Xiu stared at the person opposite and asked, "Are you a dwarf?"
"No." The short man shook his head: "I'm just a projection here."
Indeed, if you look carefully, you will find that the other person's body is not physical.
"This is where?"
"Gate of Wisdom, you can master your innate skills here: blacksmithing."
"How do I get out?"
The gnome took out the long piece of parchment. "As long as you finish these courses and pass the exam, you can go out."
Xiu looked at the length of the parchment and fell silent.
"Any questions?" The dwarf smiled. "If not, we can start our lessons."
"The last one." Xiu looked at the dwarf: "Where is the dwarf's treasure?"
The dwarf, still maintaining that programmed smile, pointed his finger at his head. "it's here."
"Wisdom is the greatest treasure of the gnomes."
