King from scratch

"I'm surprised," even though he said that, Zhe's expression showed no surprise: "Your companion chose to stay, but you chose to leave."

"They're just staying for a while," Moody corrected him: "Not staying."

Zhe followed the good, and revised the words: "They chose to stay temporarily, but you chose to leave temporarily, which is very unexpected."

leave temporarily?

Moody didn't follow his words, he changed the topic: "The king didn't come?"

"Your Majesty has something to deal with, he asked me to pass the gift to you."

"Gift?"

Zhe gestured behind Moody, and Moody turned his head to look.

White birds streaked across the sky and fell in their direction.

"A small gift." Zhe watched it fall on Moody's shoulder and said, "It's convenient for us to pick you up next time."

This is a very handsome bird, with a white body and a little gold in the feathers, which distinguishes it from ordinary birds.

It stopped on Zhe's shoulder, and its long beak combed the feathers on its chest in an orderly manner, looking extraordinarily calm.

Zhe recognized it, and the golden white-winged cockle, a relatively common bird, is not uncommon.

He retracted his gaze and repeated Zhe's words: "Pick me up?"

"After all, for you, this place is very dangerous." Zhe wrote lightly: "So, I think it is a better choice for us to pick you up."

Zhe noticed that Moody's expression became visibly worse, and added: "If you plan to step into this place again."

In the world outside the Land of God's Fall, subtle fluctuations continued and slowly spread.

"Hit me if you have the ability."

The tall demon patted his chest towards the sea surface, his muscles trembling all over his body. It may not be very accurate to describe his figure as tall. He is like a hill, moving slowly on land, with strong muscles and veins. A strong sense of presence on the body surface.

The demon who taunted wantonly by relying on the fact that the underwater creatures would not go ashore for no reason, turned his head to the demon with a pair of long horns and said triumphantly: "They dare not."

It seems that the devil who escaped from the undersea kingdom in embarrassment has another devil.

"The kingdom under the sea is not very hospitable."

Another demon covered in flames muttered, "Isn't it just a small thing like breaking something and crushing a few mermaids to death? Chasing us so far."

"I thought they would go ashore." Another snake-tailed demon crawled quickly, leaving a series of wet marks on the ground.

"Huh? Did you see the message from Nubida's group of demons?"

The hill-like demon perceived this message belatedly, and asked slowly, "He actually settled in the human kingdom?"

"You mean the message sent by that shameless liar?" The horned demon said, "I blocked their spiritual contact a long time ago."

"The message that invited us to settle together?" A few sparks appeared on the flame demon's body: "Do you really believe it?"

"It's still in the Land of God's Fall," said the snake-tailed demon, "It's better to use some tricks to deceive people. How can there be a human kingdom in the Land of God's Fall?"

"Snacks?" The hill-like demon rubbed his belly, "I'm hungry."

"Didn't you just finish eating a crystal tower? Why are you hungry again?"

"That thing doesn't have much energy." The demon complained, "After eating it for so long, the energy in it is so little, it's not enough to eat."

"Why don't we go and have a look?" Another demon who had been silent all this time said suddenly.

All demon eyes fell on him.

"If Nubida is lying to us, how about we beat him up and take away all his savings?"

"No, no, Nubida is so cunning that he wouldn't wait for us to catch him."

"I'm also very cunning." He argued, "And I've hated him for a long time, let's go and beat him up!"

"What if he didn't lie to us?" a demon asked.

"That's even better, let's snatch the kingdom from him and enslave humans!"

"Then we don't have to wander!"

"But we have a covenant with humans. If we attack the human kingdom, all continental races have the right to conquer us."

The devil said: "And we are not good at ruling the kingdom."

"You're thinking too much. How could there be a human kingdom in the Land of God's Fall? Nubida is a liar, and we're going to beat them up!"

"That's right, rob Nubida!"

The demons who reached an agreement changed their plan happily, and walked towards the land of God's Fall.

"Have you heard? There are traces of biological activity in the Land of God's Fall."

In a certain hotel far away from the Land of God's Fall, someone whispered.

The hotel was dilapidated and dim, and a few coal-burning lamps gave off faint light, slightly illuminating the surrounding area. Compared to its dilapidation, the occupancy rate here was surprisingly high.

The hotel was full of people. Among the humans, a being in black robes sat silently. They ordered wine, but they obviously didn't intend to drink.

"How is it possible? That's the land where the gods fell." Another person holding a wine glass said drunkenly: "No living things can survive there."

"Really, a friend of mine saw it with his own eyes."

"Your friend? You still have friends? Stop bragging, down and out." Someone at the other end of the hotel put down his glass and laughed, "You just want to sell that news."

"What news? Where did the down and out get the fake news?"

"He said that the treasure house of the dwarf kingdom is not actually on top of the mountains, but in the Land of God's Fall."

The whole hotel roared with laughter.

"The place where the gods fell? Are you down and out, are you starving to death? You just made up this kind of news to cheat money."

"Dwarves can't enter the Land of God's Fall, unless they want to die there."

"Liar! Liar! Liar!"

The man known as the down-and-out man blushed and shouted loudly: "It's true, I got the news from a dwarf."

"Did the dwarf tell you that the dwarf kingdom is not actually on the top of the mountains, but in the land of the gods?"

The hotel roared with laughter again.

"You don't believe me, I don't mind telling you." The down-and-out man was in a hurry, and he was about to leave.

"Ding" a silver coin was thrown out by the black robe and landed in front of the down and out.

"I'm very interested, tell me the news."

It is not uncommon to wear black robes. There are always intelligent creatures who want to conceal their race and identity for various reasons.

Without exploring the origin of the man in black, the neutral position of information exchange in hotels and bars is an unspoken rule.

The cheerful atmosphere of the hotel suddenly fell silent.

The down-and-out man quickly picked up the silver coin, carefully checked the portrait on the silver coin against the light, and grinned his rotten teeth in satisfaction and said, "No problem, I will answer every question I have."

"Hei Pao, you're at a loss. This guy didn't say a single word of truth. What about the treasure house of the dwarf kingdom? He even said before that he knew where the dragon's lair was."

The hotel was quiet for a moment, then bustled again.

The down-and-out man didn't care what they were talking about. After he got the money, he sneaked into the ear of the black robe and whispered.

"The dwarf I met went to the Land of God's Fall to exile sinners before, and then he didn't leave in a hurry. He stayed at the entrance of the cave bordering the Land of God's Fall on the top of the mountains for a few days. As a result, you guessed it, he saw What?"

The noise in the hotel was still there, but some people quietly raised their ears, and accurately caught the low voice of the down and out from the noise.

After all, there is absolutely no possibility of confidentiality in conversations in this kind of place, and the lowered voice of the other party will not have any effect at all. Most people can hear their conversations through various means.

The black robe didn't mean to cooperate with the down-and-out, and the down-and-out didn't care. As the saying goes, it's the uncle who pays, so he still has this basic sense of service.

"He saw a figure."

Heipao tilted his head in his direction, as if he was interested.

"It's true, he saw someone in the land of God's Fall." The down-and-out man also knew how outrageous the news was, and swore: "It's true, if I lie to you, I... I won't be able to tell you in my life fiscal!"

The black robe looked at the other party through the robe: "Didn't you say that this news is the treasure house of the dwarf kingdom?"

The down-and-out man was slightly taken aback, scratching his head, as if he felt embarrassed by his false propaganda: "The treasure house of the dwarf kingdom is famous, I will borrow it to use it..."

"This news is no different from what you said before." The black robe said slowly, with a bit of blood in his tone: "Why should I pay for it?"

"Wait, I haven't finished yet." Seeing that Heipao's tone became dangerous, the down-and-out man hurriedly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Heipao, then turned and left without stopping for a moment.

Someone got up and left the hotel behind him.

Although the hotel was still noisy, there were countless people staring at their movement. When the down-and-out man turned around, almost everyone's eyes turned to the black robe, waiting for his reaction.

His reaction was enough for onlookers to confirm some information.

The black robe who realizes that he has been deceived will not let the down and out just leave. Of course, if he does not take any action, then the bystanders should think about how to use the information revealed in the conversation just now.

The black robe unfolded the note and took a look.

An extremely simple sentence was written on the note [The expelled dwarves are direct descendants of the Xishan Dwarf King. 】

The black robe's fingers moved slightly, and the paper shattered in his hands.

Xishan Dwarf King, the most outstanding king in the history of the Dwarf Kingdom, it can be said that he brought the Dwarf Kingdom into an unprecedented heyday.

When he ruled the dwarf kingdom, the mechanical army of the dwarf kingdom shunned the continental countries, and it was he who proved to the world what the dwarf kingdom really means-means a steady stream of weapons, means armed to the teeth The army means an overwhelming mechanical army, and no political system is willing to face such an army.

That was the most powerful era of the dwarf kingdom, and it is also the glory that the dwarves want to restore today.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the last king of the Dwarf Kingdom, the last owner of the treasure house of the Dwarf Kingdom, is also a descendant of the Xishan Dwarf King.

The political system of the dwarf kingdom is an electoral system rather than a bloodline. Coupled with the complicated marriage relationship among the dwarves, many dwarves can pull out the names of the descendants of a certain dwarf king as long as they trace their genealogy.

But there is also a difference between a dwarf king and a dwarf king, especially the Xishan dwarf king.

In this way, the downcast's previous claim that the treasure of the dwarf kingdom is in the land of God's Fall is not a lie.

The treasure of the Dwarf Kingdom is not in the Land of God's Fall, but the key to unlock the treasure - the direct blood of the last dwarf king of the Dwarf Kingdom is indeed in the Land of God's Fall.

If you continue to go deep into the desert outside the Land of God's Fall, and go far enough, you may be lucky enough to encounter the Mage Tower standing deep in the desert.

They have different shapes and rich colors, standing in the desert, at first glance, they look like some kind of wonder.

The distance between the mage towers is extremely long. If you are walking, it may take a little luck to encounter the next mage tower after encountering one mage tower.

After all, no matter whether it is a mystic or a magician, their most distinctive and well-known characteristic is withdrawn.

Mages outside the Arcane Academy live in isolation, exploring the laws of the ether alone, and may not be known to the world from birth to death.

If you see a mage tower in the desert, for safety reasons, it is best to keep a distance from it and avoid triggering the defensive spells attached to the mage tower.

Of course, if you are unlucky and the owner of the mage tower has a bad personality, even if you keep a safe distance from it, you cannot avoid triggering offensive spells with a wider coverage.

For most intelligent creatures, this place is not much safer than the endless forest.

But for mages, this is the safest place.

The mage towers scattered in the desert have built a complete perception area, and the Arcane Academy uses this to locate every mage in it to ensure their safety.

"Moody?" The halo emerged from the ground, and Duoti crossed the space and appeared in front of Moody: "Where are Duolun and Maca?"

Moody stopped, thought for two seconds, and said lightly: "They are still studying the curse of the land of God's Fall."

Duoti moved his lips silently, and the halo flashed across Moody's body. No abnormality was detected. The other party's mental world, physical condition, and the etheric sea in his body were all operating normally.

"They have left my perception area." Duoti said seriously, "Where are they?"

Moody didn't speak.

Duoti looked at him again, from his distraught expression to the golden white-winged squid standing on his shoulder inexplicably.

"Relax, Moody, you can't be fooled by the way you look."

Doti cast a calming spell, and the shallow light shrouded Moody's body, bringing relaxation and serenity. The tense emotions were slightly relaxed, and then became tense again.

Doti looked serious.

"Even the calming spell can't make you relax. Something big has happened, right?"

"Mentor..." Moody said with some difficulty: "I'm not sure whether I should tell you."

He paused, and changed his words very firmly: "No, I think it's a better choice not to tell you."

Duoti's age is far beyond people's imagination, and the time he has experienced has given him wisdom and tolerance.

Hearing Moody's words, he thought for a second and confirmed with Moody: "Can you confirm the safety of Maca and Duolun?"

In fact, it was difficult, and Moody could not guarantee that they would not be in danger-after all, the kingdom was so dangerous.

"I want to bring them back." Moody rubbed the hard object in his pocket: "But..."

He stopped talking and said to Duo, "That's their choice."

"It's rare that you disagree."

Doti patted his hand and took the black blood stone from his pocket.

He showed a surprised expression, and said seriously: "Moody, it's dangerous to carry this with you."

Black Bloodstone is an energy source as well as a catalyst, which means it works on reactions other than fire - such as violent etheric reactions.

And a magician carrying it on his body is looking for death. As long as he summons the ether a little, the energy fluctuations generated are enough to make the black blood stone lose control.

Doti put the black bloodstone into the space to ensure that it would not get out of control before continuing: "Relax, Moody, the Academy will always be your most solid backing."

Doti patted Moody's head: "I trust your judgment, if you think this needs to be kept secret, then let it stop here."

"Relax, you're too young, boy."

Doti embraced him, stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air: "This world is big, and your life is still very long. What you encounter is nothing but trivial things that are not worth mentioning. When you grow up a bit, your You'll find that it's not worth your stress."

The space door opened in front of them, and he only needed to take this step, and he could return to the academy.

Instead of advancing, Moody retreated and broke away from Duo Ti's hand.

Doti asked in surprise, "Moody, you don't want to go back to the academy?"

Moody glanced at the golden white-winged cockle on his shoulder lazily combing its feathers. It looked like an ordinary golden white-winged cockle. In fact, the detection spell also proved this. Fluctuating ether values.

But Moody didn't want to challenge the one-in-a-thousandth possibility of exposing the position of the academy to the other party through this golden white-winged pottery.

So, he lied: "I'm not in a hurry to go back to college."

"That's a serious problem, we have to have a serious talk."

Doti touched Moody's head, his tone was gentle but full of strength: "What happened in the land of God's Fall?"
