22. Uldaman's Titan Creation
New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
The dwarves do three things best: blacksmithing, drinking, and digging.
Of course, their combat effectiveness is also very strong, but considering that the number of dwarves is absolutely inferior to that of humans, so in this era, dwarves are more accustomed to solving problems through negotiation rather than easily using swords, and the orcs' ravages in Kazmodan have taken a heavy toll on Ironforge, and like the human kingdom, the dwarves are also recuperating.
However, as an immortal species, the dwarves are far less reproducing than humans, and it will probably take a hundred years for them to fully recover to their pre-orc numbers.
Thankfully, peace has finally arrived, and the dwarves can get out of the blood-pumping battles and do what they love, such as... Excavate!
The dwarves dig underground faster than the most skilled miners, and they can dig holes in a day that would take a human to dig in a week, but also because of the special body structure of the dwarves, which allows them to adapt to long hours of hard work and stay in the dark underground for a long time.
So in many jokes about dwarves, the word "earth mouse" is often used, even though the dwarves don't like it.
Brian. It took Copperbeard a day to travel from Ironforge to the Uldaman excavations in the Badlands, and by the time he arrived, the dwarven archaeologists in charge of the excavation had cleared the way to the three chambers in a cobweb-like tunnel.
"Well, you've done a great job, and you deserve to be an elite member of the Explorers' Guild."
Old Brian walked through the dimly lit underground tunnels with a lantern and was protected by 20 dwarven royal guards, dressed in heavily armed armor, armed with war hammers and shields, and carrying muskets and heavy weapons behind each of them, who could easily resist 50 humans, or an equal number of orcs, on the battlefield.
Don't underestimate the muscles of these short men, their strength is no less than that of the orcs.
"We hollowed out the mountain in the middle overnight, and I have to say that we did overlook a lot of things."
The dwarf who followed Bryan chattered:
"The closest to the tunnel we dug was less than three yards from the chamber, but we just didn't find it... Brian, speaking of which, how did you find out about these three secret rooms? Did you find any clues? ”
The dwarven archaeologist said with excitement on his face:
"We found a lot of weird runes in the outer layer of the secret room, which we have never seen before, and there are no such runes in the annals left by those pointed ears, that is, they were at least buried before the appearance of the ancient elven empire! At least 30,000 years ago, this would have been incredible, and we would have gone down in history for this great discovery. ”
Another archaeologist was even more exaggerated, he shouted:
"The artifacts we've found before are like dust and sun compared to these three chambers, Brian, you're amazing! There were some bastards who wanted to remove you, so let's get this out and see who dares to underestimate you! ”
This praise made the old dwarf's face burn, but in the dim cave he could not see it, and he could only reply vaguely:
"I saw it in a book, and it was said to be from Karazhan, you know? It's the mage tower of the guardian of humanity, the one that was destroyed a few months ago, and it is said that it is now filled with dark energy, and the dead are resurrected, and they are kept there, and no one can approach it, and I guess that the book was taken out and then fell into my hands. ”
"Huh, human!"
The dwarf who followed behind Brian said disdainfully: "They know the archaeology of a fart, and they want to learn from us in this regard, but speaking of which, the human apprentice you accepted, that human boy named Jones, is not bad, and his skills in handling those artifacts in Ironforge Fort have been praised by many old-timers." ”
"Of course, Jones is going to do something big in the future."
Brian patted his chest and said triumphantly:
"He's a kid I've taught by hand, don't talk about that... I'll take people to the largest secret room first, and the two of you will deal with the other two secret rooms separately, and be careful when opening them, the value of these artifacts cannot be measured at all. ”
"We know, Brian, be careful yourself, that big chamber is in the deepest part."
The archaeologist handed over two things, a quaint staff, and a dull gem:
"This is the "key" that we found after searching the entire excavation site, and it is strange to say that we have been thinking about how to open the dark grid, but we didn't expect this thing to be in this way. ”
"We haven't found out yet, the icon on the ground is actually a topographic map of the entire ruins... We have been looking for the right way, but unfortunately the right path is at our feet, but it has been neglected. ”
Brian shrugged:
"But it's not too late, let's stop wasting any more time."
With that, the old dwarf walked into the deepest part of the ruins with his guards and a group of skilled workers. Copperbeard suddenly had some heart palpitations, and he couldn't help but look back at the darkness of the mine tunnels, as if in those darkness, some strange creatures were watching him.
And as you get closer and closer to the deep secret room, this feeling of being spied on becomes more and more obvious.
"Uh, maybe I shouldn't have opened it."
After assembling the gems and staff, Brian stood in front of the miniature dungeon at his feet, and he hesitated:
"It's a bit of a bad feeling, I always feel like I'm going to get some trouble when I open it..."
The old dwarf hesitated for 3 seconds, and then decisively inserted the staff into the center of the dungeon map, and in the next second, a blue light extended down the crystal at the top of the staff, like a blue tide flowing through the map, quickly covering the entire dungeon miniature map, this blue light tide made Brian take a few steps back, and then heard a loud noise.
Brian and the guards behind him raised their heads in unison, and saw the door of the dark room in front of him slowly open, the dust accumulated in tens of thousands of years splashed everywhere, like a waterfall slowly falling from the top of the open door, and behind the dark room, there was a moving darkness, with the shaking of the ground, a stone giant more than 7 meters high slowly walked out of the dark room.
It was a sculpture of a woman, looking like an enlarged version of a human, but the carving on her body was so expressive, and she wore a yellow robe in addition to her stone body, and in her hand, she held a stone war hammer.
The menacing giant shook its head, its eyes glittering with chaos quickly falling on the dwarves in front of her, who looked up at her in amazement.
"Earth Spirit... No, the Flesh Cursed Infected! ”
The giantess was a little puzzled at first, but when she saw the flesh dwarf, she was furious, and swung the huge war hammer in her hand and smashed it down on the dwarf in front of her.
"The remnants of the old gods! Don't think of blaspheming the sacred creations of the Titans! Don't want to disturb Azadas! ”
"Bang"
The huge, heavy stone hammer fell from the sky and slammed into the center of the dwarves, but the skilled dwarven royal guards were not afraid, because from the power and perspective of this blow, the strength of the giantess in front of her was not as shocking as her size.
And the giantess herself discovered this problem, she looked at her hands in panic and screamed:
"Nope! Where has my strength, my divine gifts, my strength, gone? ”
"It's you! You have robbed the Titans of their power, you deserve to die! ”
"Bang"
Another ferocious, unreasonable sledgehammer swept away, and one of the dwarven warriors who couldn't dodge was smashed straight into the wall, but only seriously injured.
Brian, a dwarf who was not good at fighting, could not help, and as the royal guards grappled with the weak giantess, Brian glanced at the thick, white, rune-carved stone door behind the darkroom, which was also slowly opening, gritted his teeth, grabbed his archaeological tools, and rushed towards the door.
"Whew, whew, it's really hanging."
Brian rushed through the stone door, which looked like another path to the underground, and the temple-like hall was littered with statues made of clay, mostly heavy and sturdy obsidian colossius, in charge of combat, but around the cold stone statues, Brian also found some vivid dwarven stone statues.
It made sweat ooze from his forehead.
Not because of fear, but because he had touched a trace of the truth, he was sure that the dwarves had never been here, so the dwarf stone statues placed here represented the memory that was collectively forgotten by the dwarves, the history of the dwarves, and even their mission.
"Fortman, you bad guy... You're right. ”
Brian walked all the way, and at the moment when he was about to discover the true secret, neither the darkness in front of him nor the increasingly ominous premonition in his heart could stop Brian from running forward.
"Our secrets, our mission, are here! It's all here! ”
Brian ran through three stairs at a frantic pace, and finally reached the underground, and in front of him was another closed gate, and this gate, which did not look like the door of the giantess before, did not shine with magic patterns, and in front of the gate, there was a strange altar.
The old dwarf stepped forward and pushed the door hard, but finding that the door that stood in the way was barely moving, he glanced at the altar at hand again, and then took a knife from his pocket and put it at his fingertips.
"I always feel like if I open this door, it will cause a lot of trouble..."
Brian told himself, but the next moment, the knife in his hand cut his finger, and with the blood of the most orthodox royal family of the dwarves dripping into the altar little by little, a dark force rolled out from the ground, slowly pushing open the door that had been sealed in front of him for tens of thousands of years.
On the other side, follow Brian. The other two dwarven archaeologists who entered the excavation site also came to the front of the two smaller chambers, the doors of which were pure black, and they looked less like a place to store treasures, but rather like cages for some prisoners.
"Open it!"
The archaeologists of the dwarves are bold people, after his order, some of the dwarves brought small pieces of gunpowder, and in the roar and shaking of the cave, the black gate was blown to pieces, but when the first dwarf walked into the secret room, what he saw was not those gorgeous and great cultural relics and sculptures, on the contrary, in the dark darkness of this secret room, what shone was dense, blood-red, full of violence and crazy light... Eye.
"Ahhhh
Screams of terror, accompanied by the cracking of bones as they were bombarded by heavy objects, resounded throughout the dimly lit excavation site, and the dwarves opened doors that should not have been opened, and they freed prisoners with their own hands who should not have been released...
There is no doubt that they will pay for it, and from now on, Kazmodan will no longer be a peaceful and beautiful home for the dwarves and gnomes, and the darkness unleashed by their own hands will take away everything they have little by little, eventually bringing fear and war into their lives, and then completely disrupting everything.
This is the "kindness" that comes from the cold death crawling in the abyss, and it is not so easy to accept!
