Chapter 99 Iron Fort

Shaliste ended the conversation decisively, and if he continued to talk, he could not tell the result with this brother who was in a bad mood.

"Amstro's believers?" Although far away, Jady, who had strong ears, heard the conversation between the brother and sister: "Amstro's still have believers in the world?"

Since Jady became the envoy of the Dhaji Dhaji Dhaji, he has learned some about the creation gods and the gods who are subordinate to him. Amstro and Dhaji are both gods of the same era, but his annihilation has a longer history and has long become a rumor.

Because of his long history and this god no longer exists, even the Holy Church of Light is not afraid to mention him. Amsterru is the god of lies, who is in charge of deception and lies. He wrote a book of lies, which gathers all hypocrisy and deception in the world, completely reverses the three realms of gods, demons and people, and has sufficient theory, which makes people convinced.

It is said that Lucifer, the head of the three main gods of hell, was originally the Archangel that the God of Creation the most trusted and valued. It was because he read this book and only read eleven pages, that he betrayed the Heavenly Court and threw himself into the arms of the dark power.

Since then, this book of evil lies has been regarded as a dark Bible by the gods in the heavens, and no one dares to try to read it to test whether his will is strong or not. However, this book of lies that has changed the color of ghosts and gods has not been missing since Amsterru's death.

It was difficult for God to die, but after Amstroh finished the book hard, he read it from the beginning. As a result, the magic of the book also affected him. He was confused by the lies he made up, and finally died of his soul.

A dead god should not have any believers anymore, because he could not show miracles, so there were not many believers, and the final outcome of his religion naturally disappeared. I didn't expect that there were still disciples who believed in him in the world until now.

But from another perspective, this is not uncommon. Although no one in this world admits that he believes in the God of Lies, how many people have told lies?

Who hasn't lie? You, me, him!

"You have to be careful when recruiting such two guys," Jady was secretly alert: "Otherwise, you may not be sure when they will be sold and you will have to count the money for them. However, recruiting such two guys is really a challenge."

Jady took a pair of liar brothers and sisters on the road. The liar brothers and sisters are very talkative. Moreover, excluding their scammers' identities, they are very easily accepted and welcomed by others in terms of appearance and conversation. The three of them got along well along the way.

Jady did not reveal his true identity and origin to them. Even the purpose of visiting the Dwarf Kingdom this time was to indirectly attack. He confirmed that they not only had no relationship with the Principality of Butani, but also had no good feelings for the ambitious grand duke.

Jady brought a lot of space equipment, but magic equipment that can simulate the natural environment is hard to come by. If there is one piece, it can be called a magic weapon. Although Jady's space equipment can store objects of a huge area, it is not difficult to hold a dragon. The problem is that the space cannot store life.

So Denver, a giant, could not be taken into his space ring, and fortunately they walked mostly on mountain roads. In this way, the green dragon just needs to follow quietly in the jungle or fly to the predetermined location in advance to wait for them.

Along the way, Jady's performance could not be seen salivating at her as Shaliste imagined. Picasso laughed at her sister a lot for this, but this did not dispel the girl's narcissism. She played this trick more familiar than Jady.

It is a very happy thing to find a backer. If you find a kingdom as your backer, you must never give up. She is confident that Jedubai will fall under her pomegranate skirt, but she is not in a hurry to launch an offensive. She must first figure out whether the kingdom that you lean on will be an active volcano.

Ironforge was originally in the Denmoro region in the north, but the living conditions in the north were very difficult, and the northerners were fierce and aggressive. After the barbarians in the north established a unified empire, they concentrated their efforts to fight with the dwarves who lived there many times, causing great losses to the dwarves. The dwarves had to move their clans and choose to join the mountains near the south.

There are more than 100,000 mountains here, and it is natural to live in a group of dwarves. Because they need to contact humans and buy a large number of necessities of life, the residence they chose is not too deep. Just cross five peaks and you can see a huge fortress standing on the hillside - Iron Fort.

Ironforge is built against the mountain. From the outside, you can only see the city gate that is dozens of meters high. The entire castle is built in the belly of the mountain. As soon as you enter the door, there is a deep trench with a long stone bridge built on it. Due to the previous experience of war with humans, it is divided into inner and outer cities, with arrows and trenches everywhere.

The dwarves in this world mainly include mountain dwarves, plain dwarves, cave dwarves and forest dwarves. These are mainly divided by habitual habits. No matter which dwarves they are, most of them live in caves. Dwarves are famous for their integrity, roughness, courage and sincerity. It is said that dwarves and giants, who are only one meter tall, are close relatives. I wonder if this legend has a basis, but the dwarves have a pair of huge legs and amazing strength, which is an indisputable fact.

Most of the dwarves in Iron Fortress are made of various rocks, and some people live directly in ready-made caves. The gods believed in by the dwarves are Thor and the God of War, claiming to be the descendants of the two great gods. They like strong liquor, worship heroes, are good at forging and mining, hate planting, and do not like plants. The dark and quiet mine caves are more suitable for their survival than the forest with birds singing and flowers.

Jady and the other three attracted the attention of the dwarves as soon as they went up the mountain. However, the dwarves did not express hostility, which was mainly attributed to the Picasso brothers and sisters, a handsome and elegant knight, and a girl with an angel-like temperament. It is difficult for people to imagine them as bad people who cheat and rob the family.

The magic world is not as large as people imagine. No matter how powerful the magic power is, they all need to survive and all kinds of living materials. They also need the existence of agriculture, industry and commerce. Although dwarves are very different from humans, they are no exception in this regard. The focus of society is always economy.

However, the economic components of the dwarves are very simple. Apart from planting very few mountainous lands and raising some livestock for agriculture and animal husbandry, there are only some winemaking workshops. As for blacksmith furnaces, almost every family has them. In addition to creating some tools they use, all the iron tools they make are used for export.

Jady discovered that although the dwarf was short, he especially liked to build magnificent buildings and carved large statues. A long distance away you can see a huge statue of the God of War on the hillside, holding a huge war hammer in his hand, which was the legendary treasure of the dwarf: the Hammer of Thor.

Dwarves have extremely long lifespans. Like elves, their natural lifespan reaches thousands of years. Dwarves who are two hundred years old are considered to be just adults. Therefore, male dwarves, young and old, have almost all beards, and their skin is rough, and their figure is about one meter, two or three meters. They have big feet and thick waists. You can't tell at all their age.

Along the way, not only did their houses look similar, but they even looked very similar.

"Uncle, may I ask Mr. Ibeck's house..."

Jady bent down politely and asked a bearded little old man half a question. The old man looked at him with his round eyes and turned around and ran away: "Mom, there is an uncle looking for Uncle Ibeck..."

Jady straightened up and smiled bitterly. Shaliste Wanel said, "Maybe he is a minor dwarf. The age of a dwarf is not something you can see from his appearance."

"It's true," Picassovando said proudly: "Looking at the age of the dwarves, you can make more accurate judgments based on their eyes, movements and clothes. It's unreliable to look at their appearance. Lord Jedi, don't think that we brothers and sisters have not seen the world for a short time after leaving the Sauron Empire.

There are many dwarf settlements in the north. There was a dwarf tribe near our village. When I was a child, I went to steal the melons they planted. Hey, kid, do you know where Mr. Ibek lived?" He finished bragging and asked a dwarf under the tree next to him.

"Boy, it's really rude. I'm older than your grandfather. I actually called me a kid? Hum!" The dwarf said in an old voice, snorted heavily, turned around and left, and Sharist's gleeful laughter came from behind.

The dwarf just climbed down from the tree and was carrying a bunch of bread fruits. The fruit was dried and ground into powder to make bread. This was whiter and thinner than the bread made from real flour, and had a milky aroma. However, the yield of this tree is very small, so it can only be changed occasionally.

This tree was not planted by him, but because it grew in front of his house, it was deemed to be his property. There would never be a dwarf in the tribe that would have the idea of ​​stealing. The folk customs of the dwarf tribe are indeed very simple.

"Who is looking for Ibek?" A loud voice came from the door of a stone house. Jedi and Picasso looked up and saw a white-skinned human man standing there. When he looked down, he saw a dwarf standing next to him, about the height of his waist.

"Mr. Deval!" Jady shouted.

"It's you?" Mr. Deval's face showed a hint of anger and his fists clenched.

He did not forget how he fell into Jedi's trick and was forced to leave Baptist in panic. He once opened a goldsmith shop again, but now the political situation is unstable. It is very difficult to start such an industry that is entirely based on credibility in the turbulent era, and his efforts ultimately failed.

All of this is thanks to Jady, but Chi Yan has already said that Jady has made remedies for him. Deval is a practical worker. He needs a fulfilling career to realize that life is not empty, and Jady can give him all this, so when he first sees Jady, he doesn't know what attitude to do.

Jady knew that Mr. Deval would not feel at ease when he saw him. The person he had promoted had skillfully taken away his status and property. On the other hand, he had to rely on this person to make a comeback. That feeling was indeed very uncomfortable. Jady smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

Suddenly, he found that the ground was moving, not only the ground, but it seemed that the air was fluctuating. Jady was startled, Picasso screamed, and Shaliste couldn't help but say angrily: "You idiot..."

Before she finished scolding, she also screamed, because a vine suddenly penetrated in the air, wrapped it around her waist, dragging her up and putting it in the air.

Although Picasso couldn't hold back his breath, he seemed to have a good basic sword skills. He immediately drew out his sword, first took a sliding step, and then waved his sword to cut off the vine. Shaliste screamed and landed on the ground.

Only then did Jady realize that it was not that the air fluctuations distorted the surrounding vision, but that something was really moving, and plants from all directions were moving, growing wildly. The big trees and small grass vines grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The weeds on the ground wrapped around everyone's feet, and the thick vines stretched towards them like tentacles.

"Elf Rejuvenation Technique?" Jady's body was about to bounce suddenly stopped. He calmly let the vine wrap around his limbs and said aloud: "Elf Prince? You should know that I came, which represents sincerity!"

This kind of magic that drives plants to attack others is only available in Green Elf, that is, forest elves.

Only elves in this world are great experts in natural magic. If people become enemies with forest elves in the forest, they will generally end up in failure, because there is simply an enemy of the entire forest. There is an old saying on the mainland that "vegetables and trees are all soldiers", which comes from this kind of elves magic.

It is even more necessary to quickly stimulate the growth of plants, so this person must be the elf prince Ye Xingchen. Jady knew that he had no good feelings for him, but he did not expect that this willful elf would have such a childish behavior as soon as he met.

At this time, the plants around could only be described as violent. The vines as thick as fingers suddenly grew into the thickness of their arms in an instant, and they wriggled and extended like tentacles. The huge bread tree squeezed the ground rumbled, and its thick roots twisted, and its torso leaned towards Jady. At the same time, the weeds on the ground wrapped around their feet like messy hair.

"cousin!"

With a angrily scream, Chi Yan and Ye Xingchen appeared next to a big tree not far from Jade. They just hid their figures with their elf cloaks, and even Jade could not sense their existence.

Seeing that the little elf prince Ye Xingchen made them feel very embarrassed, he couldn't help but feel proud. Faced with this, Jing Jiedi could only smile bitterly.

"So naive!"

The one who made this comment was actually Brother Picasso.

"How can I see it?" It's rare that his sister is willing to cooperate.

"If you don't have purpose and meaningless behavior, if you don't have mental abnormality, then can you find other reasons besides naive?"

"That's true!"

The brother and sister sang together, Ye Xingchen's proud face immediately turned ashen, and his arm just moved slightly, and an elf war bow was held in his hand, and an emerald green arrow was already on the bowstring. Regardless of whether his behavior was childish or not, his shooting skills were outstanding.

Picasso raised his chest, looking completely fearless knight, and shouted: "I am a well-educated knight. I will never draw your sword against you for the sake of verbal disputes. I refuse to fight!"

What he said was so righteous that Ye Xingchen, who wanted to teach him a lesson, could not shoot out the arrow no matter what.

This seemingly open and honest rogue technique may have no effect on other races, but it has miraculous effects on dealing with noble and arrogant elves. The elf prince will never shoot someone who has only accused him when the other party declares that he will never resist.

Jady rarely gave Picasso an admirable look: This fool doesn't look too foolish.

In the dwarf tribe, it is difficult for you to see who is rich and who is poor. The gap between the rich and the poor here is not big. Many times, they also have to share the fruits of labor, and their lifestyle is very primitive.

There are roughly the same stone houses on the hillside, and you can often hear the sound of jingling irons. In addition, the most common one is a tavern. The dwarves are not completely unaware of aesthetic views. Most of their taverns are tree houses built in ancient trees for thousands of years, which look very natural.

The trunks of these thousand-year-old trees are very thick. After building wooden houses, although the space is still a little smaller, it is a good building for the dwarves. There are stairs inside, and some are divided into three levels.

Although Mr. Deval had a grudge against Jedi, the conditions offered by Jedi were too tempting and he could not refuse. As a businessman, he instinctively felt how big the business opportunities it contained.

The dwarf Ibek did not trust Jady, but Jady offered to pay a deposit first, which was another reason that he could not refuse. He really couldn't think of what else would the dwarf lose if he did this.

So, after Jady explained his cooperation plan in detail, the dwarf Ibek had a brief discussion with Mr. Deval, and then decided to report the matter to the Dwarf King, and he would make the final decision.

Ibek enjoys a high status among dwarves, and he is an elder of the dwarves kingdom. He has not reported to the Dwarves King for this matter, because Chi Yan sneaked away this time, and the news she brought back was only one-sided. It is not known whether Jaydi really has the sincerity to cooperate. Reporting to the Dwarves King too early will inevitably make a laugh if the news is inaccurate.

Now that Jade really came, he decided to take Jade to meet the Dwarf King.

The dwarf king lives in a spacious and dry cave higher than the hillside. The cave is very simple. As soon as you enter, there is a large stone cave. There is a long table and two rows of wooden chairs. The king chair is also carved from wood. The only difference is that the chair has three chair hats, which are carved into the shape of a crown.

There were rows of torches inserted on the wall. The function of the torches was probably just to make the meeting look more solemn and formal, because the dwarves had night vision and did not need these torches to see the most subtle things.

This is where the Dwarf King summoned the elders to discuss matters. There is a smaller hole next to it leading to another room, which is the Dwarf King's bedroom.

"Borot, are you here?" Ibek shouted, standing in the conference hall.

Jady noticed that he did not call me "My King" or any other respectful title. It seemed that the power class of the dwarves was still in a relatively primitive state, not as hierarchical as humans.

"Oh, is it Ibek? You rarely come to me!"

With this rough voice, a dwarf walked in through the door opening.

He was about one meter three in height, with a long black beard hanging down to his abdomen. Under the torches, he could see that his skin was brown and wearing a very simple gray robe. This dwarf is Radborot, the dwarf king of Iron Fort.

Seeing that there were a few humans and elves and half-elves who came with Ibek, the smile on Rut's face faded. The dwarfs got along the most well with the dwarfs, and they were still accustomed to the half-elves and half-lings. However, the dwarfs and humans and the elves who are both peaceful races have very ordinary relationships.

There is a proverb from the dwarf: "The difference between an acquaintance and a friend is about a hundred years."

It takes a long time to identify and accept dwarves who are stubborn and loyal to the law, so it is difficult for short-lived humans to forge a truly stable relationship with dwarves. However, although elves are also long-lived races, they are not popular with dwarves. Because dwarves think that elves are too noble and are an unpredictable and impermanent race.

They value practicality and do not appreciate the subtle feelings and art of elves, so when they saw Ibek bringing several humans, one of them, and his attitude became colder.

The dwarf Wang Borut was very short, but when he saw the elf prince Ye Xingchen still habitually holding his proud head, Borut was not willing to be outdone. His head was always raised, and his big beard raised up. However, his figure was too short, and the result of his head tilting not only did not look arrogant, but seemed to be looking up at everyone.

"What's the matter? Dear Ibek, did you bring these human and elves friends?" the dwarf king asked authentically.

"Yes, dear king, they have a major event to discuss with you, which is related to the prosperity and decline of our clan, so I bring them and discuss with you in person!"
To be continued...
