On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen met the dwarf king Monios a day later, but the meeting place was not in the palace, but in the Baiye family, one of the six major families. Most of the dwarves in the Baiye family are potion masters and healing mages, and they have relatively harmonious relationships with all parties. For Xiao Chen, it is a safer meeting place than the palace.

The dwarf king's beard and hair are all white, and his face is covered with ravines of vicissitudes. Obvious age spots cover his forehead and cheeks, making him look very old. He is over three hundred years old. Even among the dwarves who live longer than humans, he is truly an old man.

When Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, Umeda and Ansaldo came to the Baiye family together, the patriarch of the Baiye family accompanied them to the reception room, but the dwarf king was sitting on a chair thinking about something.

"I have met His Majesty the King." White Leaf Clan Chief Abasolo and Ansaldo knelt down on one knee to salute the King. Then a brief introduction was given to Xiao Chen and the others. Xiao Chen did not use the pseudonym Ji Yijun he used when applying for the entry permit, but his real identity.

The king stood up and looked at Xiao Chen and the others with cloudy eyes. He nodded and saluted: "I am really surprised that the leader of the Tower of China would come to my country in person. It was my negligence in the past few days and I didn't realize it. There is such a guest coming, but it’s not too late, we finally meet today.”

Seeing that the other party did not point out that he was pretending to be Ji Yijun, Xiao Chen realized that the other party should be showing goodwill. He also smiled and said: "What I want to do involves the entire world, including the safety of the dwarf kingdom, so it is okay to keep a low profile as much as possible." In order to avoid being tracked by the enemy, I had no choice but to visit His Majesty for a detailed discussion after finishing the affairs of the temple, but I did not expect that the development of the matter would be so unexpected."

King Monios' breathing became a little heavy: "I already know about the temple. If you can communicate with me first, I am afraid things will not reach this point, and maybe there will be other changes."

"What does turning around mean?"

"Perhaps the monster who calls himself the God of Forging will not invade the temple and cause this tragedy." The king said.

"You knew about the existence of this thing before? But you didn't tell anyone else in the kingdom?" Xiao Chen heard this meaning from the king's words.

The king's eyes moved elsewhere, and he nodded: "This thing has existed for a long time. It has been hidden in the ruins in the past, and no one knows its existence. I guess it has been accumulating power there for I don't know how many years. .

Or maybe someone knew of its existence, but died. It is not that people have disappeared in the ruins of gods before. It is generally considered to be punishment for not solving the puzzles left by their ancestors, but now it seems that they may have died in the hands of this thing.

But it is true that no one before me has seen it and returned to the kingdom alive. "

"Have you seen it?" Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, I entered the Relics of the Gods in the second year after I became king, hoping to find something useful inside. At that time, the Dwarf Kingdom had just experienced a war, and the losses were huge, and the treasury had almost no money left. . In the past, when the dwarf kings were financially wealthy, they would hide some supplies in the Relics of God, which was the last guarantee for the dwarf kingdom. So I wanted to go in and find these supplies, and then take them out to rebuild the dwarf kingdom.

I took nearly ten members of the royal family into it, and that's when we encountered this monster. "

"Did it claim to be the God of Forging at that time? What did it look like at that time?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, it is a mist, red, with light shining inside. It should be the same as what you encountered in the temple. No one can tell what it is, but we all heard it talking to us Speak, say it is the God of Forging.

It's okay to deceive ordinary ignorant people with this kind of talk. Naturally, no one I bring will believe the monster's lies.

The Ruins of God is originally a small world with abundant magic power. We speculated at the time that this should be some kind of energy creature that sneaked into this world.

At that time, I brought two royal masters and two high-level mages. The remaining people are not bad in strength, so we want to subdue or eliminate it. After all, this is the place where the most important supplies are stored in the dwarf kingdom, and we cannot let such monsters wander inside.

But the power of that monster was too weird and terrifying. He actually controlled two weaker people in our team at some point, and then attacked the two masters in our team from behind.

This kind of attack from teammates is the most difficult to guard against. Once the two masters are dead and the other is injured, our team will be in chaos. The power of the red mist itself is also very powerful. We could only fight and escape, but each of us fell into the hands of the monster. If my cousin hadn't cut off the queen for me in the end, I might have died inside.

After coming out of the Relics of God, I actually sent a team to investigate the situation, but this team also didn't come back. So, I hurriedly closed it, and even stopped the tradition of the great blacksmith entering the ruins. "

Xiao Chen asked in confusion: "Why do you want to keep this news secret?"

The king sighed and said, "You should know that the royal masters I brought in twice accounted for half of the number of royal members who supported me. The situation in the country was not peaceful at that time. If some people knew that my losses were so great, I might not even be able to sit on my throne. I arranged a series of illusions at that time, making it seem that these people were arranged by me to perform tasks in faraway places, so as to conceal this matter. But later, other nobles still felt that these people disappeared one after another in a short period of time. Although they didn't know the specific reasons, they still felt that they could take advantage of my loopholes, so they launched a rebellion afterwards."

"You should have other difficulties, right?" Xiao Chen looked at the king, feeling that he had not finished speaking.

The king hesitated for a while before saying, "Another thing is that no one can tell what God is. What if there are really dwarves who admit that it is the God of Forging? Some people believe in him, and some people don't. This will tear apart the kingdom that was already very fragile at the time. I can't take such a risk."

Xiao Chen said, "But in addition to the royal family, there should be a high priest of the Forging Temple who can enter there? Didn't you inform the Forging Temple about this?"
