On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen didn't take any precautions against Ansaldo, so he walked to Ansaldo's Governor's Palace with Luo Ling, Farrell and Sinclair.

Ansaldo wisely allowed the dwarf army to stay in the port, exposing it to the Houyi's pneumatic cannon. Xiao Chen actually didn't care about this kind of pledge, but at least Ansaldo showed a cooperative attitude.

In terms of strength, the entire dwarf kingdom is relatively weak among the major races. In this era, they do not have a saint. But no other country has ever planned to conquer them, because even if the saint is trapped in the vast mountains of the dwarf kingdom, or in the intricate underground tunnels, it may be difficult to escape from the various traps and machines that the dwarves are good at. However, in a face-to-face battle between strong men, the dwarves had no advantage. Therefore, Xiao Chen was not worried about the dangers of entering the other party's Governor's Mansion. What's more, there is the Houyi parked in the port, which is his biggest guarantee.

Walking into the dwarf port, you can feel that the houses of dwarf civilians are generally smaller than those of humans. Except for those inns and shops used to entertain humans, most ordinary people's doors are shorter than Xiao Chen's height. But their roads are very wide, so Crowell as a whole feels like a flat city.

But Ansaldo's Governor's Mansion gave people a completely different feeling. This house was particularly tall, even taller than some of the residences of human nobles that Xiao Chen had seen.

Farrell saw his doubts and explained: "The houses of dwarf nobles are usually very tall. Maybe because they are shorter than humans, so as long as they have the ability, they like tall things."

But this kind of tallness is a bit strange in Xiao Chen's eyes, because although the house is taller, the furnishings and the size of the furniture are still arranged according to the needs of the dwarves. For example, in the corridor Xiao Chen was walking through now, the paintings on the walls on both sides were hung at the height of his thighs and stomach, and in the living room in front of him, all the chairs were as short as small stools.

After Ansaldo arrived at the reception room, he asked two attendants to move several large chairs that could be seated by humans, and then invited Xiao Chen and others to take their seats.

"You and I are the only ones here now. Please tell us your reasons for coming." Ansaldo said.

"I'm looking for the magic tower handed down from the Seven Towers era: the Tower of Forging." Xiao Chen said straight to the point, "I wonder if Governor Ansaldo has heard of it?"

"Tower of Forging?" Ansaldo was a little confused, "I know this magic tower. It is a very ancient magic tower that has not appeared again for thousands of years. But why do you ask because of it? What about me? I have no idea where this tower is."

Xiao Chen observed Ansaldo's performance. Whether it was his mental fluctuations or his facial expression, it seemed that he really didn't know where the Forging Tower was. "According to the clues we found, this tower It may be in the Dwarf Kingdom. We suspect that the ancient ruins that opened up the glorious forging era in the Dwarf Kingdom are the Forging Tower itself. "

"Relics? How is that possible? Those are the relics left to us by the God of Forging! How could it have anything to do with the Forging Tower?" Ansaldo stood up from his chair in shock, "You are attacking the Relics of God Idea? Oh my god, you must be crazy. How can this be the most fundamental thing in the dwarf kingdom?"

Xiao Chen shrugged and said, "That's why we came to find you."

"No, it's impossible! Even if you kill me, I won't get involved in such a thing. If you kill me, I will just die. But if it involves helping humans seize the sacred heritage of the dwarf kingdom , then my entire family will become a traitor to the dwarf kingdom, and everything will be over. Do you know? The key to entering the ruins is only in the hands of two people, one is the dwarf king, and the other is the high priest of the forging god. I can't afford to offend either of them. My family will not fight against them. If you really want to force me, kill me now!" Ansaldo said very firmly, changing his previous attitude. He looked at Xiao Chen very firmly, as if he could negotiate.

Xiao Chen frowned and decided to tell the other party part of the truth. He told the other party generally about the things related to the awakening of the God of Nature. He also told him that the Tower of China is determined to use various means to prevent the resurrection of the God of Nature, including using the power of the Forging Tower itself. "I heard that none of you dwarves believe in the God of Nature. All you believe in is the God of Forging. Since then, From this perspective, the awakening of the God of Nature is also a bad thing for you, right?

What's more, as long as he takes back the magic power between heaven and earth, the magic forging that you are good at will become completely ineffective. "

"The God of Nature is a strange god to us, and our affairs have nothing to do with him. But even if what you say is true, I should not be involved in such a thing. In that case, no matter whether the God of Nature is resurrected or not, If I can’t recover my magic power, my family will be in misery. Rather than doing this, I might as well wait for the final result.”

Xiao Chen waved his hands and said: "Let's think about it from another angle. Attacking the God of Nature should be what the high priest of the God of Forging would like to see. When a living God descends in front of people, you who have never shown up Will anyone still believe in the true God? I think the interests of the high priest and I should be the same.”

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Ansaldo asked.

Xiao Chen said: "Since you have said that the high priest has mastered the method to enter the ruins of God, then find a way to arrange for me to meet him. It is generally difficult for humans to enter the Dwarf Kingdom because of their body shape. They can't even get in. I don't need you to do anything more dangerous, just arrange for me to enter the Dwarf Kingdom through normal channels and then pull a line to the Forge Temple."

"But I will take a big risk in this matter. Even if I succeed, I will not benefit much." Ansaldo said.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly: "Then do you want me to talk about another plan? The first step is to capture Crowell. The second step is to control the plains. The third step is to start attacking the underground part of the Dwarf Kingdom, and finally capture your capital, and then get your ruins."

"It's not that no one has thought about the Dwarf Kingdom for so many years, but no one has ever really implemented such a plan. Because in the underground tunnels, it is difficult for humans to even stand up straight, and only dwarves can fight there!"

Xiao Chen pointed his finger at Sinclair who was sitting next to him: "What do you think of our dwarf warriors?"
