In the past, I didn't know the real feeling of the word "going down", and I always thought it was a simple way to go downstairs, but from the top of the dwarven settlement to the bottom, it took two hours, in addition to getting hotter and hotter, Li Yi only thought about walking step by step, walking repeatedly and monotonously.
Felder and they were left on the ground, Li Yi was afraid that he would not be able to help but snatch the pupil of the abyss and keep it for himself, of course, this was a joke, he felt that if he went alone, the dwarf king could let himself see more, and his purpose was to see more.
"Of course it's very fresh for the first time, it's boring to keep such a thing every day, young man, your physical strength is still not good, you human beings are too dependent on the spirit, and you don't pay attention to your body, as everyone knows, the spirit, wealth, status, are all ethereal things for you, and a strong body is your own capital." The dwarf king told Li Yi pointedly, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face.
In the past, some people also said such things to Li Yi, but he couldn't remember it, he couldn't remember many things, maybe he didn't think it was important at the time, but after a few months or years, or decades, in retrospect, it was a crucial sentence.
"Since you're bored looking, give it to me!" Li Yi blurted out that he already had an Achilles Pupil of Insight, and he knew that the Pupil of Periath Frost was in the hands of Allen, so he found a chance to get it, and after obtaining the Pupil of the Abyss of Tartarus, he collected three of the seven fruits, and he didn't know why he suddenly became interested in collecting things.
"How is it possible, there is no point in holding on to it if it is lost, although it is impossible to know why to protect it, but it is impossible to lose it, do you know how to save the world and defeat the gods? Even if there is only a glimmer of hope. If so, I'll give you the Pupil of the Abyss of Tartarus. The dwarven king didn't look back, just shrugged.
"Okay, I'll just take a look." Li Yi immediately gave up on the idea.
Finally in front of the magma, I saw a meter away from the dark red liquid surface, stuck with a heat-insulating steel plate, blocking thousands of degrees of heat underground, the top is a closed-key vent, it is now night, the cold air flow in the desert outside is poured in, maintaining a constant temperature in the crater, and during the day, the vent is closed, and the heat insulation system driven by the spirit crystal replaces the cold air circulation, which has been bold to the point of frightening use of the volcano.
"Aren't you afraid that the volcano will suddenly explode one day? At that time, all your dwarves will be like baked cakes on the inner wall of the hearth, and they will be fully cooked. Li Yi shook his head, he was unwilling to stay in such a dangerous place.
"No problem, once the volcano erupts, we will forcibly seal the crater and let the magma gush out of the small volcano around it, and we used to be busy fighting fires when the vegetation was abundant, but now it is a desert, so we don't care." The Dwarf King seemed to remember something, and his eyes were a little sad.
The steel plate against the magma is made of purple-grade metal, because it is difficult to process, the surface is very irregular, pitted, like a wall that has been beaten by ******, surrounded by regular red-grade metal gears, tracks, etc., steam gushes, pushing huge machinery to operate, the raw ore is melted directly in the magma, purified on the spot, and the ore residue and the used purification agent are thrown into the lava.
Li Yi also saw the kind of coal that could release black flames, and when he asked what it was, the dwarf king told him a surprising result.
"It's the sun."
"The sun? You mean the heavenly one? ”
"Well, the sun is made of this substance, burning constantly, spewing out such black coals, suspended in the sky and continuing to burn, which are stars, providing light and heat to the world."
"It's amazing." Sometimes such a magnificent spectacle, pale words can no longer be summed up, I never knew what the bright sun was, it turned out to be the coal around me, of course, a special coal block that burns inexhaustibly.
"Sometimes the world you see with your own eyes is the most real, when you see the sun up close, that fireball is completely made of black coal, the lie that the gods created the world is self-defeating, the sun is a flame, the flame is burning, burning brings light, and the light of God is different, the light of the world is the reflection of flame particles, the light of God is the simple light, the cold light that represents power, can only bring the light of destruction and death."
"I also like to see it with my own eyes and not trust people's words. But these are all pretty words, and sometimes they can still be deceived, and I understand the story you tell, but what about the Abyssal Pupil of Tartarus? "Washing glass love casually.
The Dwarven King paused his scepter three times to tap the metal plate laid on the ground, making a clanging sound. A console rises slowly, octagonal and cast in orange metal, looking heavy and quaint.
"This is a machine made hundreds of years ago, the structure is simple, it is a general mechanical principle, but it must be pure dwarven royal blood and a password that only I and the next dwarven king know in our hearts." King Pelayo did not shy away from it, reached out and tapped dozens of times on the white keyboard without any marking, and then dripped a little blood of his own, and then an amazing scene appeared!
The huge metal plate made of purple-grade metal suddenly flipped over, and the heat wave of magma gushed out, almost blowing Li Yi to the ground, and the dwarf king's white hair was flamboyant, as if he had returned to the era of high spirits, and his robes were hunting in the drumming heat.
"Whew, it's hot, it's hot!" The blazing magma rolled in front of him, and Li Yi felt that he was completely filled with the high temperature and bulging heat, and his body was light and fluttering, as if he was about to fly.
The breath of the king is a strange thing, the dwarf king, the king who rules the underground dwarf world, the momentum and oppressive force on his body, just like the high-level spirit can deter the low-level spirit with spiritual pressure, this kind of momentum Li Yi does not have, he is at most the leader of a squad, and he has never ruled any large group, maybe when he personally ascends to a certain position, he is admired by all the people, and he is convinced, and then this king's breath naturally stretches out on his body, maybe he is born unable to have it, and he is destined to be lonely for a lifetime.
On the back of the purple-level metal plate is a magma-scorched red, but unmelted hut, closed on all six sides, connected to a heavy mechanical structure. At this moment, the rock wall opened, and a stream of coolant was sprayed into the hut from a small tunnel, and it suddenly snorted and raised a large cloud of mist.
"Hmm, lemon-flavored coolant." Li Yi snorted and said.
"Lemons can grow well in the ground as long as there is fertilizer, but dwarves like sweets, or foods with high starch content, potatoes, sugar, etc., and lemons are also used as aromas." The Dwarven King smiled and waited for the coolant to cool the metal hut completely, and then re-entered the code before the hut cracked open in the middle, revealing two irregular hemispherical pieces of metal like extraterrestrial meteorites in the center of the chamber.
"This is the Pupil of the Abyss of Tartarus? It looks like it's just a purple-level metal, and although it's rare, this thing can't be regarded as the fruit of the World Tree," Li Yi shrugged, "It seems that you have been betrayed!" ”
"Betrayal? How can it be! How could Kel'thugad betray me, he is my next dwarven king, what reason is there? No, he won't betray me, you must have done it! Humans are really not good things, you hand it over, you hand over the stolen treasure!! "King Perayu suddenly found that he had lost something important, since he was born, more than four hundred years ago, the dwarven king at that time, a stern father, had never spoken a few words to him in his life, but before he died, he weptly instructed him to keep the fruit of this World Tree and avoid the first contact with anything related to the gods.
Li Yi was also unlucky, offering to watch the Abyssal Pupil of Tartarus catch up with a betrayal within the dwarf clan.
Li Yi, who did not have the protection of the spirit, faced the dwarf king with his bare hands, and the layers of metal partitions above quickly closed, separating the hole from the bottom, these metal partitions were at least red-level hardness, and Feld and they couldn't rescue them at all. The old man, who was furious with rage, waved his scepter, and a mechanical claw popped out, jamming Li Yi's throat.
"Giggles!" Li Yi was choked by the neck, and his laughter came out like an old hen,
"What are you laughing at? Give me an explanation! The so-called medicine is also fake, right? Did you steal it out of your own volition, or were you a lackey of the Chosen One? The dwarf king's voice was fierce, his eyes staring at Li Yi like a falcon, but he could see a hint of mockery in the other party's eyes.
"It's useless for you to kill me, it's so boring, I came here for a trip, I originally wanted to see what the legendary Tartarus Abyss Pupil looked like, but I didn't expect to see the ugliness of the dwarf king, and I can't see such a superficial betrayal?" Li Yi sneered.
"You take me for a fool? I already knew that the guy was disgruntled, thinking that I was immortal, and that he had no chance of becoming a dwarf king even if he died, and like the previous heirs, he did not survive a long time in the end, and was weathered by the years. Cooperate with me in a play, and when that traitor is solved, I can promise you one condition, except that the fruit of this World Tree cannot be given to you. The Dwarf King whispered in Li Yi's ear.
Li Yi immediately understood, this old guy really pretended to be confused, and he knew it very well in his heart. He cooperated and shouted, "I didn't take it!" Then he gestured to the spatial ring on his hand.
"Then you can open the space ring and show me, what is inside?" The dwarven king's eyes were cold, and a large group of dwarven guards gathered around him when they heard the news, these were the personal guards of King Perayu, and the degree of loyalty was self-evident.
At this time, a middle-aged dwarf came over, and there was also a team of dwarves behind him, his first impression was thin, bee-eyed and snake-shaped, and the joints and connected veins could be clearly seen, it was like a layer of skin wrapped in bones, I don't know why the dwarf king chose him as his next appointment, Alfonso was stronger than him in all aspects.
"Your Honorable King, this man is the thief? Let him hand over the fruit of the World Tree and then put him to death. The middle-aged dwarf said indifferently, under his casual mask, but there was a slight urgency, not knowing what the Chosen One had promised, so that he would not hesitate to betray the dwarf clan and steal the Abyssal Pupil of Tartarus.
"Well, Kel'thugad, my heir, the next Dwarven King, how did you end up here yesterday when you submitted a report that you had gone to the south to inspect it?" The Dwarven King asked, somewhat surprised.
"Appear? It's already early in the morning, I'm just about to leave the city, I heard the sound of the iron gate closing, generally not an emergency, the thirty-two vertical protection gates will not be closed, I thought there was something wrong with the volcano at first, but I saw that the fruit of the World Tree was stolen, respected king, it is inappropriate for you to open the treasure box of the fruit of the World Tree so casually, forgive me for offending. He said slowly, with some accusations in his tone.
"In the past, you didn't dare to speak to me like this, it seems that the power has been slowly handed over to you in the past few years, but you are bold, although I am only the dwarf king in name, but this name and my symbol can deprive you of everything!" King Perayu scolded.
"I see." Kel'thugad bowed his head, looking indifferent, and did not take the old dwarf king in his eyes, in his opinion, it was only a dead soul who spoke in front of him, and he himself was in power, and he was not afraid of this nominal spirit.
Li Yi can basically be sure that this Kel'thugad's words are too complete, as if they were made up in advance, and the pupil of the abyss of Tartarus is very likely to be in the hands of this guy, but he has not had time to transfer it to the Chosen One, because as long as the Black Forest is not opened, the Chosen One will not be able to leave, how many Chosen One will come in, except for the one killed by Li Yi, if it is all solved, then this sinister guy will not know how to put things in the hands of the Chosen One.
Of course, the old fox knew this very well, he gave Li Yi a look, and then secretly sent a team to cooperate with Felder and the others above to kill the Chosen One.
Li Yi glanced at the old dwarf king Pelayu, wanting to know how this old thing who had lived for four centuries treated his heirs, and with such a distant blood relationship, would he still show mercy?
Kel'thugad didn't expect that the old dwarf king doubted himself as expected, because after all, the password was only known to the two of them, and if the old dwarf king and this human were in a group, he should not ask such a question.
The wrestling of thinking is going on silently, Li Yi is also a little nervous in his heart, the tripartite people, himself, Kel'thugad, the old dwarf king, although in terms of wisdom, he and the old dwarf king are slightly superior, but he is alone, without any protective measures, if the old dwarf king comes to kill two birds with one stone, and all of him and Kelthugad are counted, Felder and they will certainly avenge themselves in the future, but their own lives will be explained here.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, he didn't do me any good to get rid of me, and he offended Edmund, let's wait and see for the time being!" Li Yi thought carefully and decided not to attack for the time being, wait for Felder and them to kill those Chosen One, and then come back to think about it, his strength is only Felder, Alger and Isabella, losing them, he is just an ordinary person.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Dwarven King, is it too hasty to judge the correctness of the content of the words just by their tone? You know, although I have real power, I am just your steward, managing the army, managing the arsenal, and managing the clan members for you, but you think that my ambition is inflated, so jealous and jealous, only the bad monarchs in history can do it, and it is time for you to eliminate the cult of personality. Kel'thugad's words became more and more beautiful, but they became more and more urgent, and he felt that the purple-level metal used to seal the abyssal pupil of Tartarus in his arms was slowly expanding, and it seemed that he could not suppress the power of this World Tree fruit, and he did not pay attention to words in his words.
