Chapter 137 Dwarf Kingdom
"Blackstone City is the current main city of the hilly dwarves." Siloro said, pointing to a city on the hillside in front of her.
Lu Ran looked around.
The city is medieval in style, but overall it is not ancient.
You can vaguely see dwarves coming in and out of the city gate.
But there was no trace of humans.
After all, this is still a forbidden area, and Lu Ran and his group are the first humans to step into this area.
But Lu Ran felt a little confused.
"Hill dwarves are a branch of the dwarf race, also called cave dwarves, but why are they not in caves, but in cities above the surface?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
Before coming, Siloluo introduced some information about the hill dwarves.
Liu Xinxin also talked about the records about hill dwarves that she saw in some classics.
Indeed, it is said that hill dwarves are also called crypt dwarves. They live in caves under the hills and are accessible in all directions. This also leads to the fact that the skin of hill dwarves is much fairer than that of other dwarf tribes, but their stature is also shorter, making it easier to go underground. Activity.
"It is true that they lived underground before, but after the digitization of the world, the world pattern and terrain have changed greatly. The hilly dwarves were forced to leave the underground and build a main city on the ground. At the same time, they deployed plans to take back the previous land. "Acupoint." Silo Luo introduced.
Finished.
He pondered and added: "According to the rules of your human race's mission system, when you go to Black Rock City this time, the missions triggered by the mission scroll are probably related to the former crypt, but what the specific missions are is unknown. ”
I see.
Although Lu Ran still didn't understand, after the terrain changed, he had the ability to build a city, so why not reopen the crypt and return underground?
But Siloluo probably didn’t know much about it either.
After all, she is not a natural elf, but a degraded dark elf.
and.
Even the natural elves, after the world was digitized, the covenant with the dwarves became ineffective, and the connection between them was not close.
Moreover, the main city of the hill dwarves is in the human world, but the nature elves exist in independent copies, which makes Lu Ran feel a little strange.
"Then let's go to the main city first." Lu Ran said thoughtfully.
Subsequently.
A few people went to Black Rock City.
The moment we arrived at the city gate.
bite!
[Trigger the task, please check it in time! 】
Lu Ran was stunned.
Is this triggered?
He originally thought that he would need to enter Blackstone City or meet the dwarf clan leader to trigger the mission.
I didn't expect that it would be triggered just as I approached Black Rock City.
He paused, took out the scroll and looked at it.
The scroll at this time has faded away from the traces of decay and vicissitudes of life, the brilliance is flowing on it, and the map is clearer.
at the same time.
In the mission system, a new mission has also appeared: [Continuation of the Eternal Fire]
[Mission: Continuation of Eternal Fire (1)]
[Goal: Meet the Dwarf King and gain approval from the Dwarf King]
[Reward: 5 million experience! 】
Lu Ran frowned.
The reward is only five million experience?
Although it is quite a lot, compared to the dangerous behavior of entering a forbidden area, these five million experience points are a bit too shabby.
But he reacted immediately.
There is "1" written after the task, which means that this is a series of tasks, not a delay task. The current goal is to meet the dwarf king and gain his approval.
This is much simpler.
Just meeting the dwarf king gives you five million experience points, which is really not a small amount.
Then, Lu Ran told Liu Xinxin and others about the mission.
"Then it should be a series of tasks. Sure enough, the scrolls that go deep into the forbidden area are not ordinary items. The rewards of the series of tasks will be progressive, and the comprehensive rewards will be extremely generous. Lu Ran, you are going to make a lot of money this time." Liu Xinxin said enviously.
at this time.
Outside the east gate of Blackstone City.
The dwarves coming and going stopped and looked at Lu Ran and others with curious eyes.
Here, you can clearly see regular professions such as dwarf warriors and mages.
There are also some dwarf merchants, ordinary residents and the like.
The height is indeed shorter than the normal dwarves.
The highest one couldn't reach Lu Ran's thigh, and the lowest one only reached Lu Ran's knee height.
Looking at the whole thing at a glance, it feels very strange, as if I have turned into a giant.
But the dwarves are not proportionally reduced to the human race. They have big heads, mature faces, and short but very strong limbs.
Especially those dwarf berserker warriors. Although they look short, they are full of muscles. You can feel the explosive power contained in them at a glance!
"These are all dwarves. Most of them are dwarves after the world was digitized. They have never been in contact with the human race, so they are very curious, but not hostile. The dwarves themselves are not warlike. Although they are not on good terms with the human race, they are Not hostile," Siloro introduced.
Lu Ran nodded.
But suddenly I found some dwarfs with green skin and pointy ears like goblins among the dwarves.
He asked in confusion: "Those are also dwarves? Why do they look different?"
Siloro shook her head and said: "No, that's goblins. Goblins flow among various races. There are many merchants among them. Goblin chambers of commerce are all over the world and are very powerful. In the former human territory, there were also goblin chambers of commerce. It's just data. After the transformation, your new human race will have a new main city, and the Goblin Chamber of Commerce has not yet settled in.”
Siloluo seems to know these very well.
Lu Ran's questions can also be answered.
And she was right.
Although the dwarves do not have close relations with humans, they do not hate them either.
When Lu Ran and the others walked into the city gate, the guard just glanced at them and ignored them.
It's just that a group of curious dwarves followed behind them, which made Lu Ran and others feel a little embarrassed, like monkeys being watched.
The style in Blackstone City is very different from that of human architecture. It is neither regular nor low, but very tall. The roads inside are intricate.
Lu Ran and the others were aimless and didn't even know where to look for the Dwarf King.
I don’t know where the Dwarf King’s imperial city is in Blackstone City.
"You are so short, but this building is more majestic and taller than human buildings. It's just that the road is rugged, winding, and too messy." Lu Ran muttered.
Along the way, you go uphill, downhill, and drill holes. The roads are crisscrossed and divided into upper and lower levels.
That's a mess, you can do whatever you want!
"The dwarves are good at casting, but not good at building. They can build whatever is convenient, but there is no problem with the building's sturdiness." Siloluo said casually.
"What should we do now? Where to find the Dwarf King? Siloluo, do you know?" Lu Ran asked.
This time, Siloluo, who knew everything, also shook her head.
Said: "I don't know. I only know that Blackstone City was a city later established by the Hill Dwarves and has never been there."
But right now.
Suddenly, a dwarf girl carrying a sledgehammer appeared in front of several people and blocked the way.
After staring at Lu Ran and others for a while, he shouted: "Friends from the human race, why are you coming to Black Rock City? Do you need help? The price is negotiable!"
