Brian left the dark tunnel behind him and stepped into another world that was completely different with Herist.

This is not a cave of sin drown or a cruel and desolate stone land, but an underground space with warm tones and passionate atmosphere.

While walking, the underground dwarfs at work looked up from time to time and glanced at them with doubts. When they saw the leading guard, they immediately felt relieved and devoted themselves to their busy work.

These underground dwarfs are about the same height as Bryan's thighs, with bare head without hair, and strange skin that is very similar to rocks in texture and heat release.

The underground dwarf, also known as Snebli, was scattered in the dark area in small groups. They were different from their neighbors, Grey Dwarfs and Drow elves. The underground dwarfs were as kind as their counterparts.

But their sense of humor and enthusiasm will still be suppressed by the oppressed environment of the underground world.

Because of this, the underground dwarfs have a gloomy and serious personality and are very cautious when trading with foreign races.

They always assume first that all foreign races will cause harm to themselves—a lesson they have learned from their own history.

They speak in a low voice in caves and tunnels where sounds are easy to spread, and their eyes are always alert to signs of danger.

Outside of serious appearance, Sneblinelli is still a dwarf, who are as kind and optimistic as their cousins ​​on the surface.

It’s just that they express their kindness more in front of people of the same race or people they trust.

Although Snebli divided his labour according to gender, he still pursued equality between men and women.

Its ancient customs hold that the king and the queen have the same responsibility.

The male Snebli is a hunter, explorer, manual laborer and warrior, while the female serves as managers, adjudicators, politicians and caretakers.

Underground dwarfs sometimes forget that other races are not as clear in gender division as their own races. They forget that men can do fine work, and women can also engage in battle.

After Brian and Herist arrived at Brington Stone City, they learned from the dwarfs that after the catastrophic destruction of the drow elves of Mosobrey, this place has become a dangerous ruin inhabited by monsters and other evil creatures.

Only the underground dwarfs believe that there is still hope for recovery and reconstruction here.

At this point, the underground dwarfs in Bringden Stone City are very different from those before.

Because they are no longer simply hard workers and experienced miners, they call themselves: settlers, pioneers, and - survivors.

"Welcome to the Stone City of Bringden, Ms. Moon, Mr. Brian, please wait a moment, and I will report to our leader. The stone is on it, and the leader of the hoe will be very happy to see your arrival."

The guard who accompanied them in stretched his frown and said to the two with respect.

"No need." Brian stopped the guards who were trying to report and said to him, "We can just go in by ourselves."

After saying that, he led Herist through the gate and to the hoe hall.

This is the home of the underground dwarf leader, and it is also the "council hall" of the Provisional Government of the Bringden Stone City.

There are more than twenty Snebli in this bright cave.

Someone walked by with a letter bag in his hand, while others squashed on several stone tables filled with maps and documents, and held serious discussions one after another.

Behind the room is a podium carved from cave rocks, with two stone tables placed on the table.

Two underground dwarfs, a man and a woman, sat behind the table, discussing something with the consultants beside them.

After Brian and Herist came in, their attention instantly shifted to the two of them.

"It's Ms. Yuezhinan, the leader of Silver Moon City. The stones are on it. I didn't expect you to come so quickly." A surprise floated in the bright eyes of a male underground dwarf wearing a tight black leather jacket and a felt hat, revealing her white teeth, and welcomed her.

The serious discussions that followed in the room suddenly stopped, and they looked at the beautiful Silver Moon City Lord with curiosity or surprise.

Then, he immediately jogged down from the podium with a delicate face beside him, met him, walked to Bryan, and said with gratitude:

"If I guess correctly, this gentleman is the wizard lord from Mokou Town. Thank you for your help, respected Mr. Brian."

After saying that, the dwarf leader and the female dwarf beside him bowed deeply to Brian at the same time.

Brian nodded slightly and accepted the salute from both of them calmly.

He still knows a little about this dwarf couple.

According to the tradition of underground dwarfs, the Sneblis must be ruled by a king and a queen. They only lived in Silvermoon City as refugees for nearly a century and have not had a formal monarch for a long time.

Duobao and Senni are not only members of the Silver Federation, but also very talented miners, but now they have grown into excellent community leaders.

Unfortunately, for personal interests, most members of the Silver Federation are unwilling to help the underground dwarfs rebuild the Bringden Stone City, and they do not want these skilled craftsmen to return to the underground.

After all, in the inherent impression of most people, the dark area is a symbol of evil. Obviously, people on the surface do not want to interfere in the underground world.

They believe that even if the Brolington Stone City is rebuilt, it will still be unable to defend safely against the underground overlord Drow Elves. This underground good city will continue to allow the Silver Federation to invest its defensive power like a bottomless pit.

The couple had no choice but to spend several years on their own planning to go to the Stone City of Brington.

They hire adventurers to conduct preliminary investigations and keep an eye on local conditions at all times. They also organize and gather fellow tribesmen from dwarf fortresses and surface cities that once accepted them.

After ten years of careful and firm planning, the Duhuo couple finally organized a group army of about 500 to recover the Bolington Stone City.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even though they were not crowned, all those who followed them had recognized them as the de facto settler leader.

The supervisors of Duobao's leaders included rebuilding production, opening up mines, and forming patrols to explore the ruins of cities where Snebli had not lived.

He is also responsible for rebuilding and commanding the operation of the fortifications in the new settlements.

Like most other Sneblis, Duobao was serious and tough when dealing with outsiders, but he was also a considerate and gentle husband, and thoughtful leader, and his wife was with him focused on the vision of rebuilding and reviving the Stone City of Bringden.

Quartermaster Senni is responsible for all calculation and measurement work to ensure that her husband's homework can be better supported and developed.

She oversees trade activities with the Mithril Hall, Guntergrim and Manto Drees and caravans.

Because she is responsible for managing and assisting in maintaining the magic infrastructure of Bringden Stone City, she is very familiar with the security conditions in her settlements.

As a quartermaster, she also arranged housing for more and more Sneblis who returned to the Stone City of Bringden.

Faced with Duobao's enthusiasm for Brian, the others showed confusing eyes, unable to understand why their leader respected him so much. Only a few dwarfs seemed to see through Brian's identity and nodded thoughtfully.

"I know that most people don't know this mage lord from Mokou Town."

The dwarf leader turned around and said to everyone, "Now I will introduce you solemnly. Mr. Brian was the mage lord who commanded the army of the Kingdom of Cormier to defeat the ghost city a week ago. This generous lord was willing to help us rebuild our home."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were shocked. The eyes of these underground dwarfs, who were known for their gloomy and seriousness, gradually became richer when they looked at Brian.

"Okay, it's not the time to chat."

At the invitation of the digging couple, Brian and Heliste came to the podium. He reached out and suppressed the chaotic voice and said to everyone:

"I have learned all about the situation in Bringden Stone City, so in order to help you clear the invaders, I will tell you about my plan and hope you can cooperate with my actions."

"Mr. Brian has any questions and instructions, just say it." The dwarf leader Duobao quickly answered and patted his chest and said, "We will definitely cooperate with your actions."

Herist stood quietly beside him, never saying a word from beginning to end.

But her cold and elegant temperament, her natural spiritual aura, and the identity of the Lord of Silver Moon City, invisibly created an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made people unable to ignore her existence, and even dare not look at her.

Brian nodded slightly, walked to a map hanging on the wall behind the podium, and said to the dwarfs, "As we all know, there are four of your cities facing the greatest threat, namely: the ghosts in the ruins of the settlement, the elements of madness, the wandering rats and the king of pudding who spreads corruption."

Seeing everyone nodding, he turned around and looked at the map while recalling the details about Brington Stone City.

Although it has not been confirmed, the remaining ghosts of the underground gnomes that were massacred by the Drow elves invaded Brington Stone City a century ago.

In the process of rebuilding the Stone City of Bringdon, the leader of Duobao wisely removed the haunted hole in his recovery plan.

However, the increasing immigration to the new Snebli and its housing needs have gradually become a problem that must be faced.

The most important thing is that the number of ghosts in the ruins of the settlement exceeded everyone's expectations, and they were all different.

Some of them are harmless, repeating only the events of their lives where they are killed, while others have a complete consciousness - usually full of hostility and danger.

The so-called mad element is actually the transparent clouds floating around in the 'Oremok disaster', which is a magical dust that appeared in the Bringdon Stone City more than a century ago.

It is said that it has intelligence itself, and elemental creatures that are in contact with this cloud will be controlled by it.

The origin of the clouds is still a mystery, but it is said that it is related to Oremok, the evil prince of the Earth Elemental Plane.

A prophet of the earth element, named Neheidra, serves the disaster of Oremok and leads some elemental creatures enslaved by evil clouds and mists, threatening the dwarf settlers of the Stone City of Bringden.

At the same time, after the fall of Bringden Stone City, a group of rat men took the opportunity to settle down in the ruins of the city.

A few underground dwarfs who remained in the city tried to drive away the rats and men after the Drow army gave up the city. As a result, most of the underground dwarfs were infected with the beast-turned curse.

In the past century, these underground pygmy rats have relied on their strong reproductive ability and adaptability to the rats, and have occupied most of the ruins in the name of the Golden Beard Tribe, and used this as a territory to fight the new settlers in the city.

The so-called Pudding King opened his royal court at the deepest part of the Stone City of Bringdon.

He was originally the earliest participant in the immigration settlement plan for the digging couple. Later, other Snebli avoided him because he had many disgusting habits, such as he was very focused on catching and learning mud monsters, and was also interested in stealing food until it was rotten... and then talking to them.

The excluded underground dwarf finally left the team.

After living with the mud monsters in this area for several years, as the earth's vein radiating energy was affected, the demon lords entered the dark area, he followed the attracted mud monsters and contacted Jupirex, the king of the mud monsters, and immediately surrendered to the faceless lord and promised him eternal loyalty.

Since then, his former name and past have disappeared, leaving only the current Pudding King.

Jupilex gave the Pudding King the ability to summon and control the mud monster, and then sent him back to the Stone City of Brington, where he declared his territory as the Lord of the Faceless.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Pudding King slipped back to a closed area in the Stone City of Bringdon to build a royal court and summoned it along the way

Various types of mud monsters render this urban ruins to the outside world as an inhabitable and dangerous area.

Pudding, who was completely crazy and guided by the terrifying power, settled in his throne, with his ‘children’ following, and he had to summon more loyal things day after day.

Once prepared, he will send this army to swallow everything in the dark area.

The Bringden Stone City and the residents therein will also be transformed into a large ball of soft mud and sticky substance, just like the image of its master, the Lord of the Faceless.

While Brian looked at the map to analyze the situation, his thoughts were also moving rapidly. With everyone's patient waiting, he soon thought of countermeasures against the four major forces.
