King from scratch

The moment the explosion happened, the second before the entire mountain collapsed due to the huge impact, vines stretched out in the soil, layered on top of each other, enveloping Lincoln and You.

The too short reaction time didn't give Lincoln a chance to protect everyone present. He only had time to wrap the nearest swimmer before the mountain collapsed.

Anuta reacted extremely quickly, almost in the first second when the crisp sound sounded, he took out an alchemy product from the space, and the etheric fluctuations spread from his hands, opening up a safe zone among the collapsed mountains.

Ole King's body was too big, half of which was shrouded in the safe zone, and half of which was buried by the rocks covering his face.

In the violent shaking, the whole mountain collapsed.

"Fuck, what happened?"

"It was shaking so badly, something rolled over..."

"Help me—"

The voices of the players came and went, mixed with screams, and gained a sense of presence that could not be ignored amidst the violent vibrations.

The vibration lasted for a long time before it gradually slowed down, allowing the creatures swept by the sudden disaster to gain breathing space.

Lincoln's plant fortress disappeared quietly after Anuta forcibly opened up a safe zone.

Although the surrounding gravel and mud piled up in a messy appearance, the expedition team was miraculously unscathed.

Ole Jin shook his tail, and pulled out the half of his body that had been buried solidly from under the soil.

"What exploded?" Ole Jin didn't have the slightest sense that he was the culprit. He swayed his body, trying to shake off the faint discomfort on his tail.

Anunda: "It's not clear, but it looks like a self-destruct device."

Lincoln: "Dwarves generally don't put a self-destruct device on something they forge, unless it's important enough to need a self-destruct device to ensure it doesn't fall into other hands."

Ole Jin yelled loudly: "So, that thing just now is very important?"

However, after the big disc was crushed by Ole Jin just now, it experienced the chaos of the mountain explosion, and now there is not even a residue to be found.

Anuta looked around surrounded by mud and suggested: "Go to the center of the explosion to see what's going on?"

Ole King looked around and could only see soil and rocks. It was hard to say whether Ole King was stupid or smart. He was not very smart in other things, but when it came to treasures, he was very keen: "It's all done." If that’s the case, what else is there? I think that thing just now is very important, it’s not something from the dwarf kingdom period, and there’s also a self-destruct device..."

He suddenly became excited: "Maybe this is to protect the treasure?"

No one picks up.

"There must be more than one of these things, let's look for others."

Without saying a word, Ole King took the lead in walking through the tightly blocked ruins.

Anuta kept up and raised his voice, "Do you know the location?"

"I don't know, but I guess there must be something like this not far away."

Ole King walked ahead, swearing: "I suspect that this thing is all over the top of the mountains."

"Didn't you just say that this was arranged to protect the treasure?" You asked a question: "If it is distributed on the top of the entire mountain, then there is no possibility of protecting the treasure, unless the treasure is also spread all over the entire mountain top."

Ole Jin turned a blind eye to the doubts raised by You, and insisted on this point: "Anyway, I smell the smell of treasure."

Players are forced to follow the safe zone, for fear of falling behind and losing another chance of resurrection, but this does not prevent them from whispering.

"What are we going to do now?"

"I don't know, why is that dragon leading the team? I think it's a bit dangerous for him to lead the team."

"I'm more concerned about what this is."

The players raised their heads one after another, looking around with the faint light.

Dirt, rocks, and residual branches of trees piled up in a group above. They should have impacted the crowd below, but because of the existence of the "safe zone", they were isolated from invisible objects and could not affect the crowd.

Not only above, but also up, down, left, and right, all are soil layers accumulated due to subsidence. As the "safety zone" moves forward, it is forcibly squeezed out of the way.

Anudha sensed the suspicious glances from others. As a wandering merchant, although the players were weak, noisy and useless, he still respected every potential customer.

"Ether space." Anuta showed the alchemy products in front of everyone, and explained: "The best equipment for self-protection."

The huge sea dragon stone is dotted on the silver metal, with complex patterns all over the whole piece of metal, and a small gemstone is inlaid on each etheric circuit node, emitting a faint light.

Numerous small gemstones embellish the appearance of stars shining on the silver metal.

Very expensive, but also very functional.

It can resist the huge impact caused by the collapse of the entire mountain, proving that it is sufficient to defend against most attacks.

The players had no self-knowledge. When they heard the introduction, their eyes lit up and they asked, "Is this for sale?"

Anuta held the metal plate and covered the light from the gem again: "It depends on the king."

"What does this mean? To sell or not to sell?"

"It sounds like the sale is only possible with the king's consent."

"No, can you be a little self-aware? Can you afford it, and you are clamoring to buy it?"

"I can't afford it now, but it doesn't mean I won't be able to afford it in the future? Is it okay if I ask the price first?"

As he said that, the player turned his head and asked Anuta, "How much is this?"

Anuta reported a number.

After a subtle silence, a player asked in a low voice: "I see, the currency system here is the same as Zimbabwe..."

Another player covered this player's mouth, and quickly dispelled his ambition of 'Don't bully the young and the poor' in front of the astronomical figures.

"Excuse me, pretend we didn't ask."

Ole King is heading in what he calls "smelling treasure."

"I heard something."

Ole King stopped in his tracks, distinguishing the unusual sound that was getting closer and closer among the noise.

The players who didn't hear anything were still making noise.

Anuta didn't hear anything, but Lincoln frowned, distinguishing the information that nature fed back to him.

He came to a positive conclusion: "Something is approaching."

As soon as the words fell, in the next second, Ole Jin flicked his tail and pounced forward. In a standard predatory action, he collided with the strange vehicle driven by Luo Mu—to be precise, he almost collided with it. with.

Before Ole Jin's sudden movement, he detected a dangerous vehicle slamming on the brakes, and at the same time as he rushed over, he moved back steadily, controlling the situation within millimeters.

Ole King's huge head was close to the car window, looking at the dwarf inside through the transparent metal.

The strange tool that popped out suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The semi-circular transparent front cover, the oval-shaped bottom plate, plus the way of floating forward...

"Looks a bit like a ufo?"

"Good guy, are you too advanced? Dwarfs still use cars anyway, so they directly use levitation technology?"

"How is this done? Ether again?"

"I'm more concerned about the power source, oh, wouldn't it be ether too?"

"Is ether so versatile?"

"Are you being lazy in the planning? Anyway, think of a vehicle to come out? Copying the design of the ufo is to remind us that the dwarves have a high level of technology?"

"No, what about the Middle Ages? When this thing came out, I thought I was frequency-hopping to the future science fiction."

"Who told you about the Middle Ages? But speaking of it, His Majesty the King really didn't say whether this game is future science fiction or ancient history..."

Amidst the joyous discussions among the players, Anuta stepped forward first, and spoke to the dwarf before Ole King could speak.

"The aborigines on the top of the mountains?"

"Wait for me..." A dwarf's familiar loud voice came from behind.

Because he couldn't keep up with Luo Mu's speed, the dwarf who had just arrived at this moment raised his voice, "Have you arrived?"

The tool cart jumped out of the road that Luo Mu walked, and met Ole Jin's big head.

"Long time no see." Dorona greeted them without guilt: "You don't look very good, why is this place collapsed?"

No one answered, everyone's eyes went back and forth between Duolongna and Luo Mu.

Luo Mu lowered his head to operate the machine, and the bright light lit up from the vehicle, illuminating the ruins and the expedition team with a very diverse composition of personnel.

"I can see clearly. After walking here for so long, my eyes are going to be blind."

"This dwarf is not bad, and he knows how to turn on the lights. It looks like a friendly force."

"The atmosphere is a bit weird, why is no one talking?"

As always, the player seems to be in another space independently, no matter what the atmosphere in front of them is, no matter what the npc is doing, they can speak in front of them without any scruples.

Even if the npc can hear it clearly.

Luo Mu's eyes paused on the etheric body for two seconds, and fell on Wang Dazhi, who nodded slightly at the other side: "Say hello to the king for me."

Team 117, who always kept silent and would be subconsciously forgotten, suddenly caught everyone's attention.

"Did he recognize the wrong person?" The players continued to discuss.

"I haven't encountered an NPC who would ignore You, and talk to us, it's strange."

Although he didn't understand why the other party said this to him, Wang Dazhi nodded very calmly.

Luo Mu set his eyes on An Nuda and said hello: "Ai Zhijin."

After evaluating the value of the other party, Anuta quickly took up the conversation: "It seems that we have missed a partner. This kind of thing doesn't happen often, which is very regrettable."

From Ai Zhijin's attitude towards the other party, one can tell the value of the other party in his eyes.

The last time Lincoln and Ole King saw each other's attitude was when they met the human king in the kingdom.

Obviously, this dwarf is of great value in the eyes of Anu Da.

"We don't communicate with the outside world." Luo Mu ended the conversation with Ai Zhijin with one sentence, dispelling the other party's thoughts.

He finally set his sights on Ole King: "Are you here to find the lost treasure of the dwarf kingdom?"

Ole Jin raised his ears and stared at Luo Mu's appearance, as if he wanted to grab it if there was a disagreement: "Do you know where it is?"

"Come with me."

Luo Mu drove the suspension car, turned on the headlights, and galloped in another direction.

Ole King didn't care about 21, and followed directly, leaving the others behind.

Doron only had time to say hello to the expedition team: "The druids will teleport directly later."

Then the convoy made a sharp turn, followed the suspension vehicle in front, and quickly disappeared from their field of vision.

The expedition team that was left in place regained the darkness and silence. Of course, it didn't last for too long. The next second, the players started clamoring again, discussing everything that happened recently.

Anuta turned her head to look at Yu who had been silent since just now.

"It seems that the king has found what he was looking for."

The players who rushed out from the teleportation point took a few steps, and after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, they stopped in doubt.

"Why did you come back to the ground? Isn't the treasure buried in the mountain?"

The trees stand silently, and the stone pillars with a sense of time are distributed on the ground, forming a dwarf totem around the central area.

In the center of the stone pillar is a huge stele, which is somewhat damaged, vines are wrapped around the stele, and the writing on the stele is unclear. After thousands of years, this place that once symbolized the pride of the dwarves also disappeared with the division of the dwarf kingdom. Gradually worn out.

It is famous for the strength of the dwarf kingdom, and it is silent because of the division of the dwarf kingdom.

But it has always been here, watching the mountains and the world calmly.

Anudha spelled out its name: "The burial place of the dwarf king of Xishan."

It is said to be a burial place, but it does not mean that the bones of the Xishan Dwarf King are buried here.

The dwarves don't need to be buried. After the dwarf dies, his body will be thrown into the reactor. The dwarf believes that this will allow the dead dwarf to return to the casting itself.

He will bless the forge of the dwarves.

Therefore, this burial place is just a symbolic altar.

There is no treasure here, and the Dragon Clan who has turned this place over and over for several feet can definitely say so.

Such a famous place is the first choice of every treasure hunter. For thousands of years, people have confirmed the fact that there is no treasure here through various methods.

And now, Luo Mu brought them back here again.

Ole King crouched by the side of the clearing, wondering if he had been tricked.

And Dorona stood solemnly beside the stele, staring at the unfamiliar yet familiar environment.

"The treasure of the dwarf kingdom, here?"

Luo Mu stepped forward and walked to the stone tablet.

The achievements of the Xishan dwarf king and the words of commemoration are engraved on the stone tablet. These handwritings have long been blurred with the passage of time and cannot be distinguished.

But this did not affect Luo Mu's movements.

He completely traced the lines on the stone tablet with his fingers.

The stele projected light towards the stone pillars standing not far away, and the symbols emerged from the ten surrounding stone pillars.

Ole Jin got up quickly, stepped forward cautiously, and stared at the traces.

A few seconds later, his roar resounded through the mountains.

"The history of the dwarf kingdom?"

The expedition team rushed forward, and the communication barrier made the players unable to understand the text on the stone pillar, but this did not affect their interest in studying it.

Some players even began to transcribe these symbols very professionally.

"I understand this. There must be a code in these symbols, and you can get the address of the dwarf kingdom's treasure if you solve it according to the code."

"Division of labor and cooperation, come and come, the amount of work for ten pillars is not small..."

"These ghost symbols are not regular at all."

"Is there a problem with the difficulty of planning this mission?"

While the players were over-interpreting this, Luo Mu explained to others in a relaxed tone: "In addition to the history of the dwarf kingdom, there is also the dwarf forging method."

Ole King moved over again, moved to the stone pillar in the middle, looked at it for a few seconds, and let out another roar.

"How many years have these forging methods been behind, there is a fart."

Luo Mu was not disturbed by him, and continued: "It records the history of the dwarves from scratch, and records the whole process of the dwarves' exploration of the casting process..."

"The dwarves were once unknown, and generations of dwarves united as one, explored and moved forward, and finally there was a dwarf kingdom that attracted the attention of the entire continent."

"If there is a lost treasure in the dwarf kingdom, it is the only one."

"Our forgotten unity, exploration, and...history."

Luo Mu looked at Dorona and said: "When the dwarves care more about their own interests than the interests of the kingdom, when the dwarves begin to indulge in the praises of our engineering being the best in the world, when the dwarves forget how the dwarf kingdom was established At that time, the treasures of the dwarf kingdom were lost."

"The dwarf king of Xishan planned this burial place for himself during his lifetime. This is an 'altar' that dwarves have never had before. Everyone thought that maybe it was because he had made too many achievements that he needed an altar. The dwarves remember him, worship him, and sing about him."

"During the long time, no dwarves discovered the small secrets in these stone pillars. They worshiped the achievements of the Xishan Dwarf King, and they praised the power of the Dwarf Kingdom during the Xishan Dwarf King's time. They remembered the glory, but forgot that the Xishan Dwarf King The silent and nameless time of people."

"Perhaps, the reason why he did this is precisely because this wise king has already seen the final outcome of the dwarf kingdom after a long time."

Ole Jin shook his head impatiently, breaking the somewhat strange atmosphere: "What and what, what's so difficult about this little trick, we discovered it a long time ago, but what does it have to do with the treasure?"

"Where's the treasure?" Ole King kept repeating the word: "Where's the treasure of the dwarf kingdom?"

After Luo Mu explained this, he turned his attention to You.

"The farce ends here, what are you looking for us for?"

Ole Jin stretched his head over again, this time he fixed his eyes on You: "Did the king deceive me?"

You Yiban glanced at him and said: "The treasure of the dwarf kingdom is right in front of your eyes, and the contract signed before is with Ai Zhijin. If you have any objections..." He glanced at Anuta: "Ai Zhijin will explain it clearly to you."

"From the point of view of the contract, Ai Zhijin approves this result." The wandering businessman who abides by the contract said to Ole Jin: "You can take one thousandth of the treasure of the dwarf kingdom..."

Ole King snarled, "You mean me to take a thousandth out of this pile of stones? Or take a thousandth out of the history of the so-called dwarves?"

Not surprisingly, he turned his back.

The dragon race is not a race that can be rubbed at will. They have the confidence to violate the contract and turn their faces and deny people.

There is one thing to say, all the people present can't beat Ole King - of course, this is Ole King's judgment.

Objectively speaking, there were at least two intelligent creatures on the scene who could hang him with external force.

But for them, there is no need for this, this is a trouble for the human kingdom to deal with.

Ole Jin turned over, half of the stone pillars on the scene collapsed, and the white light of the death of the players lit up.

He flapped his wings and stopped in the air. The magma boiled in his throat, and the sulfurous breath became thicker.

You: "I don't suggest you do this."

Ole King's roar echoed in the air: "You will pay for lying to me!"

After confirming his attitude, You crushed the horn in his hand.

Signal transmission, space positioning, ether fluctuations, a black teleportation array unfolded behind him.

Ole Jin was proud and fearless: "Even if the mages came, I would... hiccup."

The flames that were forcibly swallowed made him hiccup.

In the silence, the ether on the scene fluctuated violently, and everyone immediately prepared to defend and escape—except for the players, who were making surprised sounds.

Thinking about it carefully, during the entire mission, the only thing they were doing was making surprised sounds...

"Wow, so many bugs..."

"No, it's not a worm, but it's really a lot..."

"I have an ominous premonition that no matter how weak this thing is, such a large quantity is enough to pose a huge threat..."

"No. There were so many spiders, ants, etc. before, didn't this dragon have one bite at a time? What's the difference between this thing and others?"

"But that dragon's attitude is completely different, he looks like he's about to run away..."

"Please don't panic." You's voice sounded amid the rustling: "For now, they are not dangerous."

I believe you ghost, iron-eating ants are not dangerous?The current fate of the dwarf kingdom that once faced the iron-eating ants is a true portrayal of the danger of the iron-eating ants.

But observing that the iron-eating ants pouring out in a steady stream did not get out of control, the people who were ready to run barely left the top of the mountains without a teleportation.

The so-called out-of-control means that they did not start eating. If the iron-eating ants started eating, judging from the number that is still pouring out of the black hole, the mountain will be eaten up in minutes.

"That dragon broke the contract, didn't it?"

Nubida appeared on the stage with a cheerful tone, and his gloating heart could not be concealed at all: "Come on, cuties, let's take this as an appetizer first."

Lincoln said contemptuously, "The devil."

"Nasty demon." Ole King growled, "What are you doing here?"

Nubida and Kenti passed through the space gate and appeared in front of them together with the iron-eating ants.

Nubida's tone was very cheerful: "Of course it is to ensure that the expedition team goes well..." He cheekily approached You Tao: "You, is this guy threatening you? Don't be afraid, good brother, I'm coming, as long as you ask ..."

When everyone was watching the monkey show brought by the devil, only Luo Mu set his eyes on the densely packed creatures on the ground.

He repeated the word: "Iron-eating ants."

"It seems that this is not a friendly dialogue, but a war."

Luo Mu looked at You and said, "This is not an extinct creature that should be resurrected. You think you can control death, but in the end you will find that it will only let you suffer the consequences."

He made a final announcement: "See you on the battlefield."

"Wait." Dorona reacted quickly: "This is definitely not what you think! Human kings will not start such a war with dwarves."

Dorona looked at You and urged him: "You, what exactly does the human king want?"

Ole King, who was completely ignored, took a few steps back secretly in the air, opened the distance, and prepared to disappear silently into the chaotic situation.

"This is definitely not a declaration of war." You said firmly.

He looked at the behemoth stopped in the air: "Ole King, maybe you should explain your previous behavior to the king?"

"Explain what?" Ole Jin yelled loudly, feeling that he was a complete victim: "Obviously you guys deceived me! This is my reasonable protest!"

The iron-eating ants on the ground did not spread, they piled up high, making people frightened...

"Are these iron-eating ants here to threaten me?" Ole Jin quickly backed away while continuing to yell: "Then let's see you on the battlefield."

He didn't give You a chance to speak, he turned around sharply, fully demonstrated the unimaginable flying speed of the Dragon Clan in front of everyone, and disappeared in front of everyone like a meteor.

"Wow, the kingdom's first war will not be with the Dragon Clan, will it?"

Kenti was full of enthusiasm: "Why don't we go back in a hurry? Take them to the South China Sea first?"

Nubida sang in harmony: "I remember the location of Long Island very clearly, so I'm sure it won't be biased."

"Before that, I think you should first tell the king what happened." You reminded the demons who were gloating.

Nubida's schadenfreude mood languished in an instant.

His eyes wandered around Luo Mu's body twice, meaningfully: "Dwarves..."

Ken gave him a tug, and Nubida smiled "hehe" and said goodbye to You: "Don't forget to bring the treasure back."

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go," Nubida turned his head and angrily urged the players who were watching the show: "Your mission is completed."

Notifications of mission completion and mission rewards popped up in front of the players.

"One hundred credits! Isn't that equal to 5 bottles of red medicine? Earn it."

"A set of primary cloth armor forged by the dwarves, as well as equipment!"

"Browse the mage library once, spell!"

"The head of Novice Village!"

"Xinshou Village... huh? Who said the head of Xinshou Village just now?"

He Shu repeated the word: "Candidates for Xinshou Village Chief."

"Wait? Why is this reward different? Why am I not eligible for this candidate?"

He Shu objectively analyzed: "It should be based on the contribution value, giving different rewards."

"Everyone is taken away by the NPC, how can there be a difference in contribution value?"

Amidst the shouts of the players, they passed through the teleportation point and disappeared in front of the dwarves.

The scene finally quieted down.

Luo Mu watched the iron-eater ant follow the demon through the teleportation point and disappear from the top of the mountains before looking at Xiang You: "It is a creature that should never be resurrected."

You corrected his misconception: "The right to choose which extinct creature to resurrect is not in our hands."

Just like the right to choose which kind of creatures to exterminate, it also does not belong to intelligent creatures.

The only one who has the right to make this choice is nature and the "God the Father" who created everything in this world.
