Li Yi was about to say a casual word to fool the past, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking by the door of the bar.

"It's so familiar, how can you see an acquaintance here? Odd. He stood up, but he didn't expect the figure to come this way.

"It's the Chosen One!" Andrew also recognized it, the Chosen One in Dark Rock City, including all the deformed monsters created by such gods in the world, all had the same face, all white gold-rimmed robes, handsome men, and there would never be any expression on their faces, which really made people disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

"How could such a thing be in a dwarven settlement? Didn't that battle in the past nearly destroy the dwarven civilization? Li Yi frowned and hid aside, if it was convenient, he would easily kill this monster, but before that, he had to figure out what the relationship between the Chosen and the dwarves was.

The original nameless old man suddenly stood up, and a majesty was released from the inside out, which actually caused great oppression to Li Yi, and he was shocked: "What is the identity of this old man?" With such power, he wouldn't be"

"King Perayu, will you not return to the arms of my god after all?" The white-robed Chosen One walked up to the old man who had accosted Li Yi just now, and suddenly said a strange word.

"There are only dead dwarven kings in history, no dwarven kings who have succumbed, the curse of the gods has trapped my soul in a rotten shell for hundreds of years, and every day at noon and evening it hurts like hell burning, and it is getting worse day by day, you want me to give in, hand over the pupil of the abyss of Tartarus, which is said to be able to suppress all those who resist, and surrender to the gods completely. Stop dreaming, how could I turn my back on my people for this, betray this world, and let those gods in heaven do whatever they want? The old man straightened his waist, but the decayed body projected a giant-like spirit, the spirit will not die and will not decay, the spirit is the relics of the soul, the human body will one day dissipate into ashes, but the spirit can make him engrave a dazzling stroke in the historical inscription, which is admired and yearned for by future generations, and with this goal, one after another towards the unfinished dream of the predecessor rushed like a moth to a fire.

Li Yi was already very sure of the identity of this old dwarf, and he was able to meet the king of the dwarf clan here, Pelayu, although he didn't know the specific case of this legendary character, but it must be unusual.

"It seems that the original of the dwarf king's long life is because of the curse of the gods, and the curses of the gods are really diverse, turning into animals, not being able to contact with their own spirits, having an immortal body but suffering from it, since I know this world, the gods have been bringing pain and disasters to the world, do they think that punishment is blessing? Some things must be eliminated in order to make the world truly restore the appearance of the original place, in order to be like the town in front of you, primitive and natural, clean and without a little filth. Li Yi pondered, it was rare to find a place that was not disturbed by people's hearts, but the Chosen One wanted to insert it horizontally and pollute it.

It was a very bad feeling, and he held his nerve to see what else the Chosen One could say.

"King Pelayu, I'll explain the conditions, you just have to choose, understand? The gods are not making a deal with you, but rewarding and punishing, you do not respect my god, so you are punished, the soul is imprisoned in a cage of pain, if you do not return to the arms of my god for a day, you will suffer such a torment for a day, and now my god has decided to send down grace, **** your guilt, but you have to offer the pupil of the abyss of Tartarus, this is a small request of my god to you, if you agree, then we will ensure the prosperity of the dwarf clan, you can also remove the curse, and enjoy eternal happiness. "The face of the Chosen One is full of divine radiance, and the divine power is vividly interpreted.

"What if I refuse? Do you gods need this kind of forced belief or the pupil of the abyss of Tartarus? It's despicable, you obviously want to get it, but you play some tricks, it's useless to talk too much, please leave, although we are not against the gods, but it is impossible for you to take anything from us! "The Dwarven King has completely overwhelmed this negotiating Chosen One in terms of momentum.

The Chosen One never had any expression on his face, but the projected will showed anger and incomprehension, and in his view, the command of the gods was the gospel, and all things in the world should be proud to obey it, let alone reject such blasphemous acts, and if in ancient times there was no distinction between man and God, the gods would have punished it with their own hands.

"Since you are so obsessed, on the day of the Last Judgment, there will be no dwarven seat on the ark!" The Chosen One put down the harsh words and turned to leave.

Li Yi smiled and walked out of the shadows in the corner, and Felder aimed at the Chosen One with a large exaggerated Ruiman silver crossbow in his hand, "Hum! ”

The strange sound of bowstrings rang out, and the body of the Chosen One was pierced, and the furious impact spread out in all directions, blocked by Felder's three-dimensional shield, and did not affect the tavern.

"You killed him? That's incredible. The old man glanced at Li Yi approvingly, the kid in front of him was too young, but his shot was very ruthless, especially the calm was terrifying.

"It turns out that you are the dwarf king, and it is good luck to come here and meet the supreme ruler." Li Yi became interested in this old man, and after the Chosen One was killed, he returned to his original appearance, like an ordinary old man in good spirits, and his momentum was withdrawn.

"I'm very strange, how come your soul hasn't gone crazy when you've been imprisoned for so long and have to be tortured every day?"

"This question is very unkind, the soul will go crazy when it is crushed, how can the reliance on my heart be crushed? Only the human mind is so fragile," King Pelayu drank a full glass of ale, burping loudly and looking a little lonely, "My body is somewhere between the void and the physical, and the curse sustains my way of being, I really want to be free, but I can't show weakness in front of the enemy." ”

"Why do you think the gods are your enemies?" Li Yi continued to ask unceremonious questions, and in his opinion, nothing was more important than getting an answer.

"The gods are the enemies of this world, of course our enemies, and yours, and they destroy the world tree that sustains the life of the whole world, and continue to extract the world's nourishment into the kingdom of God, and the world will wither and everything will be reduced to ashes." King Pelayu sighed.

"Is it irreversible? Do you believe that miracles happen? Li Yi asked again.

"Miracles? It's been a long time since I've seen a miracle. The Dwarven King shook his head, showing that he didn't believe it.

"This is the antidote to the curse of the gods, I killed a dozen of the Chosen One from a miracle, ah, of course I did it with a powerful companion, and afterwards he took the blood of the gods, and I took everything else," Li Yi took out a little gray powder, "Drinking it with wine, is this a miracle?" ”

"Really?" The dwarven king took the antidote, his face was not angry, but his hands were trembling slightly.

"That way you can be free, but I also have something I want from you." Li Yi didn't want to waste these antidotes.

"Hehe, that's right, although I don't know if it works, but I'd love to hear your conditions." The dwarven king poured a large glass of wine with relief and relief.

"I really didn't expect it, I originally thought that a king like you could only be in a splendid palace, but I didn't expect to meet in a very simple way, maybe this is the attitude of the dwarves, I just heard the Chosen One say that the pupil of Tartarus Abyss, which suppresses all those who resist, is in your hands, ah, I'm not asking for it, I just want to know, what is the purpose of these magical eyes in the legend, I have also seen two with my own eyes, and they are not as magical as I imagined, so I want to get an explanation from you, As well as seeing it with your own eyes. Li Yi smiled and said what he wanted.

"Isn't it too much of a coincidence that you sent the antidote as soon as the Chosen One left? But I'm willing to believe you. The Dwarven King said.

"Is it intuition?" Li Yi asked.

"I'm not stupid enough to trust my instincts, it's just that you make people feel special, and your hatred for the Chosen One is not fake, and you also like the world as it is, not the devastation of being destroyed by the gods!" The Dwarven King stood up and carefully put away the vial.

"This is a very short, and not very interesting story, in the beginning, the world was a big ball full of nutrients, one day, the first life was born in this ball, that is, the World Tree, the root system of the World Tree and the world are one, and many branches are born, these branches are animals, spirits, all mayflies and dust, and then the World Tree bears seven fruits, that is, seven eyes, which are the pupil of the sun of Phopers, who rules the infinite light, and the pupil of the current of Neros, who masters the mystery of water, The Pupil of Achilles Insight who sees through all falsehood, the Pupil of Frost of Perrias who presides over the frost and snow, the Pupil of Pluto of the Underworld who controls darkness and death, the Pupil of Jupiter who controls the power of thunder and electricity in the dark clouds, and the Pupil of the Abyss of Tartarus who suppresses all those who resist. ”

"And then?"

"Then the gods appeared, and created man in this land, and man multiplied, destroyed vegetation, cut down forests, built countless idols and temples, and took hypocritical doctrine as a classic, cruelty as reason, and killing as conquest. Then drive the spirits, the animals, and some other aliens you see into the corners of the world, but fortunately you are not united enough, or we will perish. ”

"The gods withered the World Tree, but they were resisted by the will of the world itself, and planted a mark that made it impossible for them to enter, and the seven fruits were scattered all over the world, and the gods still did not give up, wanting to obtain these seven fruits and regain control of the origin of this world. That's it, the gods and all the creatures in the world have irreconcilable contradictions, and there is no reason to be hostile to each other until one side is eliminated, so the creatures in this world only have two ways to survive, first, defeat the gods, and second, become the lackeys of the gods," the dwarf king shrugged, "I'm old, and my joints are too hard to kneel, so I can only fight with the gods." ”

"You're not going to end your pain with an antidote? Are you still nostalgic for this world? Or do you like the feeling of immortality? Li Yi asked.

"You young boys have complicated ideas, I just want to watch the end of the gods, I don't know if I can wait until that day!"

"By the way, I have confirmed from many people that the gods created humans, but you dwarves look similar to humans, does it matter?" Li Yi asked again, there are some things, if you don't ask, you will be blocked in your heart and feel uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, the organs in our body, the elements that make up our bodies, the color of our blood, are not the same as yours."

"So why does your pharmaceutical company still use humans as test subjects? Isn't it different from your structure? ”

"Hey, you really like to get to the bottom of it, it's much better than those stupid young boys, our potions are mainly dumped on you humans, how can you not test the efficacy of the drugs by humans?"

"I see, I seem to understand." Li Yi nodded.

The Dwarf King led Li Yi to the center of the town, where there was a building that was out of step with its surroundings, made purely of black metal plates.

"Welcome to the underworld." He took out a small metal scepter and stabbed it into the lock, and with the click of the machine, the steel door opened silently, and inside was a red world.

The majestic natural environment is certainly amazing, but it is not artificially more shocking, and it is hard to imagine that a dwarf who cannot control the spirit can create such a spectacle, a spiral-shaped beehive! The underground cavern with a diameter of kilometers resembles the inside of a snail shell, with a circle of spiral-shaped stone steps and a strong iron chain next to it to prevent people from falling into the lava in the middle of the hive.

"This is the largest volcano in the Afril volcanic complex, and the huge underground cavern is carved out of the crater, and the surrounding rocks have been reinforced by us, and it is as hard as a gold-grade metal." He introduced.

On the right side of the stone steps are hexagonal caves, which are passages leading to the dwellings of the dwarves underground, who burrow like moles in the ground, illuminated by a round natural fluorescent fungus, emitting a calming, green and cold light.

The life of the dwarves is also inseparable from fungi, and they have special breeding rooms, just like the farmland of human society, which is used to cultivate edible fungi. Truffles and matsutake mushrooms can be artificially cultivated under their technology, and there are even more cherished, spiritual mushrooms, the cooking technology introduced from the human world makes them not tired of this kind of delicious food, and at the same time, due to the light reason, the underground vegetables that do not contain chlorophyll are their way to supplement vitamins, and the imported fruits and meat are also deeply loved by dwarves.

"It's strange, why don't you move somewhere else? In this barren land, although humans occupy most of the whole world, those unexplored wilderness, the sea, are all good places, and you can also see the sun. Li Yi said he didn't understand.

"Dwarves can't do without fire, fire is the source of life, this volcano is too important to us, iron smelting, forging, we all depend on it, and a little sacrifice can't let us leave." This is the dwarven king's explanation. (To be continued.) )
