Chapter 347 Changes in peace talks
In the inheritance of the Dark Iron Dwarves, Tempering Castle's status is second only to the Temple of the Ancestors.
After the arrival of the Abyss, the Dark Iron Dwarves migrated many times in order to avoid the pollution of the Abyss, and many of their inheritances have been lost.
The Temple of the Ancestors has become a holy place that the Dark Iron dwarves cannot return to, and can only appear in their dreams.
Similarly, before Lu Heng mentioned the Tempering Castle, to the Black Iron Dwarves, the Quenching Castle was already a legendary holy land and no longer existed.
Now, Tempering Castle appears again, and the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom has made contact with Quenching Castle.
This means that the Dark Iron Dwarves have recovered the holy land in their dreams.
One can imagine how excited the Dark Iron dwarves present were.
As a result, Gollum used a command-like tone when he spoke, and the dwarf king Sorivel Copperfurnace did not feel inappropriate at all.
Sorivel Copperfurnace hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with the highest courtesy of a Dark Iron Dwarf pilgrim: "I am the third king of the Copperfurnace Kingdom, Sorivel Copperfurnace."
Gulu observed it, nodded and commented: "It looks very strong, and it is a good material for blacksmithing."
If this sentence were spoken to humans, it might be considered a mockery.
But for dark iron dwarves, forging is the most important skill. To evaluate a dark iron dwarf's forging talent is a very high evaluation.
Gulu continued: "Lu Heng is the closest friend of Quenching Castle. He entered the abyss world to help our tribe revive, so you must listen to Lu Heng's instructions. This is also the will of Quenching Castle."
The black iron dwarves present immediately lowered their heads and saluted, and promised piously: "Yes, master."
Seeing how pious these black iron dwarves were, Lu Heng found that the effect of moving out of the Tempering Fort was far better than expected, and much better.
This meeting spanned different worlds and consumed a huge amount of magical energy, so the conversation began to fluctuate after such a long conversation.
Seeing this, the great wizard Hogre hurriedly said: "My great forging master, may I ask if you can get in touch regularly in the future?"
"Okay." Gulu replied matter-of-factly.
In fact, when Gollum was brought to Quenching Castle by his teacher, there were not many Dark Iron dwarves in Quenching Castle.
Therefore, Gulu did not receive systematic learning. He only mastered the skills of forging and quenching. As for witchcraft, magic and other knowledge, he did not know much.
There were quite a few Dark Iron Dwarf inheritances left in Tempering Castle, and he had seen some of them, but no one had taught them systematically, so he only had an understanding of them.
He knew nothing about how to communicate across worlds.
Of course, this is not a problem.
Since the great wizard Hogre can connect once, he can connect a second time, and after recording the world coordinates, the connection will be much easier.
After receiving Gulu's permission, Hogre hurriedly said: "Master, please set a time and we will communicate regularly. The tribe needs the inheritance of Quenching Castle."
"Okay, I have forging work on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and I have time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, you can pick a day." Gulu agreed simply.
Now there are many human blacksmiths, quenchers, and inscription masters entering the Quenching Fort, and the forging day is Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday every week.
So Gulu will stay in the forge for these three days.
Since the time in the two worlds is different, calculations are needed to determine the accurate time.
Hogre will take care of the time calculation, all you need to do is agree on the time.
……
After meeting Gulu, Lu Heng and his party became the most distinguished guests of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.
With this relationship, the rest of the conversation is simple.
After discussion, the Dwarf King Sorivel Bronze Furnace agreed to all Lu Heng's requests.
The first request is to reconcile with the Sirens and agree not to dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea.
Since the Kraken Clan's demands are not excessive, peace talks between the two parties are not difficult.
At the same time, Sorivel Copperfurnace expressed concern about the Balrog Gross.
The inability to dump the embers of Groth into the Tidal Sea means that the Dark Iron Dwarves have to face the crisis of the resurgence of the Balrog Groth alone.
Although the Kraken tribe promised to find a solution to the crisis of Balrog Gross, the resurrection of Balrog Gross will not pose much threat to the Kraken tribe.
Therefore, everyone knows that it is impossible to place hope on the Sirens.
If the Dark Iron Dwarves want to solve the crisis of Balrog Gros, they must take action personally.
Lu Heng made a guarantee that if this recruitment cannot solve the crisis of Balrog Gross, after his return, he will announce the information of Balrog Gross to the superpowers in the human world and unite all human superpowers who will be recruited in the future. , to solve this problem together.
The crisis of Balrog Gross will not appear immediately, nor can it be solved overnight.
This is a problem that will take time to resolve.
Soriviel Copperforge naturally understands this. They have been dumping the embers of Gross into the Tidal Sea for ten years.
In the past ten years, the revival of Balrog Gross has become stronger and stronger, but there is still some time before the real recovery.
……
This trip to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom went very smoothly. After the reconciliation was negotiated, the main purpose of coming here was completed.
Later, Hogre, the great wizard of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom, personally led a team to the west coast of the Tidal Sea to negotiate with the envoys sent by the Sirens.
Although both parties have agreed to settle, the specific settlement conditions still need to be negotiated.
Lu Heng would not interfere with any reconciliation demands that the two sides would make. As long as the two sides could negotiate peace talks, the matter would basically be successful.
Lu Heng still has some things to do in the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.
The first thing is to see where the Dark Iron Dwarves dig up the Embers of Groth.
If other recruits wanted to see the burial place of Gros Ember, they would be chased away by the Dark Iron Dwarves.
Lu Heng has the endorsement of Quenching Castle. In a sense, he is participating in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom on behalf of Gulu.
Therefore, the Dwarf King Soriviel Copperfurnace personally took Lu Heng into the mine underground in the Crown of Lava.
The four members of Lu Heng's team entered the mine, passed through the restricted passages, and came to a spacious underground space.
As soon as you step into this space, you can immediately feel the heat hitting your face.
Even though Lu Heng's tempering master sub-class provided high flame resistance, he still felt hot.
Su Muyu and Xie Shien on the side did not have the fire resistance provided by their sub-professions, and they suddenly frowned.
Xie Shien quickly opened up his mental force field to protect the four of them from the heat wave.
The Dark Iron Dwarves didn't feel much about the heat wave. After all, high-level Dark Iron Dwarf warriors could roll in the magma.
After resisting the heat wave, Lu Heng had the energy to check out the space here.
There are traces of knives and axes everywhere in this underground space. It is obvious that the Dark Iron Dwarves have been digging here for many years.
The rocks here are very solid, and they contain a small amount of dark red ash, as if they would burn at any time.
Sorivel Copperfurnace explained: "This is the area where the embers of Gross are densest. If you light a fire here, a raging flame will ignite and a flame demon will be produced."
The existence of Balrog can be split into a large number of small Balrogs.
A powerful demon king like Balrog Gross will eventually split into tens of thousands of flame demon spirits.
The Balrog can be divided and naturally reunited. That's why the Dark Iron Dwarves transport the embers of Groth to the tidal sea and dump them. The purpose is to separate the embers of Groth and make it more difficult for the Balrog Groth to assemble. At the same time, they also hope that the glaciers in the deep sea can suppress the resurrection of the Balrog.
Lu Heng squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of Gross embers, felt the heat radiating from the soil, and began to meditate.
Before his rebirth, Balrog Groth was resurrected two years after the Abyss descended on the Blue Star.
Due to the different time flow rates in the two worlds, it should be five years later that Balrog Gross officially revives in this world.
Afterwards, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom was forced to flee the Molten Crown and was once again displaced.
Until the time of rebirth, there was no news that the Balrog Gross was conquered by the conscripts.
The best way to save the Dark Iron Dwarves is to prevent the resurgence of Balrog Gross.
If you wait until the time when the demon Gross returns to the world, it will be difficult to deal with him then.
Sorivel Bronze Furnace asked worriedly: "Mr. Lu Heng, have you thought of a way to solve the Balrog crisis?"
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and replied: "Not yet. However, I checked the Gros embers here and it is estimated that the Balrog will revive in four to five years, so we still have time."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Regarding when the Balrog Gross will revive, the great wizard Hogre also estimated the approximate time.
The timing will not be precise, but it is certain that recovery will not be complete for three years.
Three years is neither a long time nor a short time.
The Dark Iron Dwarves still have time, but time is getting tighter.
Lu Heng continued: "I haven't found a way yet, but I will find a way. If I really can't find a way, I will try to ask for help from the ancient knowledge tree of the elves, and I will definitely find a way to solve the Balrog crisis."< br>
When Sorivel Bronze Furnace heard that he could seek help from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, he felt more hopeful: "Then please ask Mr. Lu Heng."
After seeing the embers of Gross underground, a group of people came out of the mine.
As soon as he returned to the gate of Lava Crown, he saw the great wizard Hogre returning with a messenger covered in blood.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Hogre reported in an angry tone: "King, the Kraken clan cannot be trusted. We were attacked by the Kraken on the beach!"
"What?" Sorivel Tonglu had a surprised expression on his face and turned to look at Lu Heng who was standing aside.
Lu Heng also looked surprised.
The rulers of both parties have been persuaded before. The dwarf king Sorivel Bronzefurnace and the siren clan's high priest Sona agreed to reconcile. This matter should have been resolved.
The two sides also agreed to send envoys for peace talks. They only needed to exchange simple demands for reconciliation and the matter would be completed.
Lu Heng did not expect such a change to happen, and asked: "Are you sure it was the Kraken clan that attacked you?"
The great wizard Hogre was furious and replied: "Of course we are sure. We just arrived at the beach, and not long after we waited, the Kraken came out of the water. We stepped forward and wanted to communicate, but the other party didn't say anything and raised the harpoon. Just launch a raid
"We finally escaped back. The Kraken clan is so despicable. Mr. Lu Heng, you must have been deceived by the Kraken!"
If other conscripts had taken the lead in mediating the conflict between the two clans, they would have been captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves and thrown into the dungeon.
After all, the Dark Iron Dwarf envoy brought by the great wizard was attacked by the Kraken, causing the peace talks to fail.
According to normal logic, Lu Heng, the conscript who took the lead in mediating, would definitely be suspected.
Fortunately, Lu Heng had connections with the Tempering Castle. The Black Iron Dwarf doubted that anyone would doubt Lu Heng, and instinctively believed that Lu Heng had been deceived by the Siren.
After hearing this, Soriwell Copperfurnace clenched his fists and angrily shouted: "Damn siren!"
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was not right.
Normally, even if they do not intend to reconcile, the Sirens should not attack the envoys who are conducting peace talks.
Doing so will only intensify the conflicts between the two communities.
If one of the parties is a barbaric race, this may happen.
However, Lu Heng had contact with Sona, the high priest of the Kraken Tribe. Although it was only for a short two days, it was enough.
Sona, the high priest of the Kraken tribe, was willing to let Frigus go despite the doubts of her tribe, which is enough to show that she sincerely wanted to resolve the conflict between the two tribes.
Moreover, the Kraken clan would not gain anything from being enemies with the Dark Iron Dwarves.
After the Dark Iron Dwarves have agreed to the reconciliation, they will no longer dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea. This is what the Sirens need most.
Regardless of motives or interests, the Kraken Clan has no reason to sabotage the peace talks.
This is not logical.
Su Muyu and Xie Shien both considered this aspect and reminded Lu Heng in his ears: "There may be an inside story about this matter."
Lu Heng nodded in agreement, then looked at the Dwarf King Sorivel Copperfurnace, and said: "I think this matter needs to be investigated. Whether it is the action of the Siren Clan or not, we will make a decision after we find out."
< br>
Soriwell Copperfurnace was very angry when he saw the injured tribesmen who had fled back. If it were other people's advice, he would definitely not listen.
But thinking of the instructions of the Lord of Quenching Castle, he could only endure the tone and asked: "How does Mr. Lu want to investigate?"
Lu Heng took the initiative to take the job: "I'll go in person. I took the lead in this matter. The Siren Tribe suddenly turned against me, and I am also responsible. I am responsible for finding out the cause of this matter and seeking justice for the Black Iron Tribe. .”
Seeing that Lu Heng did not shirk his responsibility, Thoriwell Copper Furnace felt a little less angry and agreed: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to Mr. Lu for investigation. If it is really the Siren Tribe who reneges on his promise, our Black Iron Tribe will fight with The Sirens fight to the end.”
……
That afternoon.
Lu Heng took the team and set off to the seaside, preparing to see where the attack occurred.
On the way, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Things are a bit strange. Didn't the high priest of the Siren clan agree to the reconciliation? Why did he suddenly attack the envoy of the Black Iron Dwarf negotiations?"
"I don't know the reason yet. I feel that even if it was really done by the Sea Monster Clan, it probably wasn't the order of their high priest." Lu Heng recalled his contact with the high priest Sona. It can be seen that she really did it for the sea monsters. Consider the future of the demon clan.
"But Hogre made it clear that he was from the Siren clan, so there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?"
Lu Heng nodded and said: "Indeed, most of the people who do it are sea monsters. As for other races pretending to be sea monsters, it is possible, but not high."
When he said this, Lu Heng opened the information interface of the abyss battlefield and confirmed the battlefield mode.
This time the battlefield mode is [Multiple Camp Melee Mode].
This is a very complex model. To sum up, the forces in this world are very chaotic, and there are at least three or more camps engaged in melee.
Lu Heng knew from the beginning that this mode would be tricky, but he hadn't encountered a melee before, so he didn't mention it.
Now it seems that this model may have worked.
Multiple camps are easy to understand. The Dark Iron Dwarves are one camp, and the Sirens are one camp.
Human recruiters also belong to the same camp in this world.
The first challenge mission requires killing 20 Abyss Recruiters.
In other words, in this world, there are still abyssal races recruited by the abyss.
There are already four camps. If there are further differences between the Sirens and the Dark Iron Dwarves, it will be even more chaotic.
