Chapter 190: Lonely but Not Alone
"Bang!"
Lu Kuan put all the books he found on Zhuo Zi and shook his head: "Okay, start reading!" β
Sitting by the window, next to the quiet library, and a meter away is the roaring waterfall torrent, this kind of reading environment can only be enjoyed in the game.
While Lu Kuan was carefully flipping through the historical books, where he couldn't see, several pairs of eyes were staring at him with interest.
"That's what you say, interesting little one?"
A majestic dwarven warrior wearing lilac full-body armor was staring at the influence of Lu Kuan in the crystal ball, and said puzzledly.
If Lu Kuan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this strong dwarf with a beard and hair growing together and a mess on his head was the current lord of Iron Boots City, and the current patriarch of the Iron Boots Dwarves, Gotal and Han Tie.
And opposite the big lord, a tall figure was smiling and nodding, looking at the outfit, it was the man in black who had led Lu Kuan over before, but at this time he took off his hood, revealing a hideous face with fangs.
This guy turned out to be a half-orc!
In today's world where the contradiction between the Iron Boot Dwarf and the Orc is so fierce, anyone who knows that there is a Half-Orc in the core area of Iron Boots City will be shocked.
But Gotar's face was as usual, he twisted his beard a little boredly, and casually threw the crystal ball to the black-clothed orc: "Say, Dane, as the high priest of the white-topped clan, why would you be interested in a human, and what special bloodline does he have?" Or is it talented? β
"Neither,"
The orc, known as Dane, shook his head with a smile, held up the crystal ball in his hand, and said, "I only heard by chance that one of the leaders of the Lava Fortress was looking for this man's whereabouts. β
"And then ......?" Gottal got a little impatient.
Dane spoke slowly, "Remember the recent incident when there were demons in Lava Keep? The Prophet and I went to check it out, and this little human creature has fought demons before, and he is very skilled......"
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Dane's topic was about to deviate again, Gottal deliberately coughed heavily, and the orc priest knocked on his head with a smile, revealing an embarrassed expression.
"That time, we also checked the source of the demonic aura, and finally found an officer named Tang Jie, who I just said was the person who investigated this little guy."
Speaking of this, Gotar finally grasped the point of his old friend, and frowned slightly: "Demons and humans? Does it have anything to do with the leader of the Blacktop Clan you tracked down earlier? β
"Probably not,"
The orc shook his head and thought for a moment, "The prophet and I are of the same opinion, the time when the space-time rift erupts is getting closer and closer, we must be vigilant, and you also know that the undead scourge of the frost volcano 300 years ago is actually the work of a certain demon lord." β
Gotar snorted and let out a heavy nasal voice: "Okay, I will send someone to follow this little guy, but if that guy named Tang Jie dares to come to Iron Boots City to spread wild, I will directly hammer his skull!" β
Dane smiled slightly, knowing that his old friend must be able to do what he said, but with a human guy, I'm afraid he won't clash with Iron Boots City head-on.
However, those forces hidden in the darkness are ready to move......
β¦β¦
For a whole day, Lu Kuan was nested in the library, concentrating on consulting materials, and was teleported out once in the middle because the time was up, and Lu Kuan immediately came in again.
The test at the gate or something is not a problem for Lu Kuan at all.
During this period, the compass contacted Lu Kuan and wanted to level up together, so Lu Kuan explained briefly.
But another news, Lu Kuan had to reply, Dai Guang told himself that he had always encountered inexplicable attacks during leveling in the past two days, but because Dai Guang, Tsing Yi and others had been leveling together, they didn't suffer any losses.
"The glorious one? Or did the guy with the blue gun feel aggrieved and sent someone to trouble my friend? β
Lu Kuan's mind was in a hurry, and he quickly had an idea, sent a message to Heaven Eternal Darkness, and quickly got a reply.
"Don't worry, Lao Lu, I'll send two elite squads with them immediately,"
Heaven Yongdi's reply was very simple, and he said directly: "The level of several of them is not low, it is just right to level up together, I have recently sent someone to develop the leveling area of the Banyan Grassland, they can also come over." β
"Okay, I'll tell them, thank you~"
"What's polite to me~ Whether it's glory or blue gun, it's used to bullying newcomers, just give them a lesson." Heaven Eternal laughed.
Ending the call, Lu Kuan continued to immerse himself in the sea of books.
When the second time was teleported back to the ground, the sky above had turned black, and the double moon and stars shone in the night sky.
Lu Kuan stretched out his arms comfortably, and yawned again.
"I feel more tired than reading a book than killing monsters...... But fortunately, there are some gains. Lu Kuan rubbed his neck and said with a smile.
After a day's checking, Lu Kuan also understood how turbulent the vicinity of Iron Boots City had been in recent yearsβthe infestation of the Black-Top Clan, the siege of the human army of the Northern Empire, the rejection of Riptide Harbor, and so on.
To be able to gain a firm foothold in such a critical geographical location, these usually low-key iron boot dwarves don't know how much wind and rain they have experienced.
This time, Lu Kuan was lucky, and fortunately found several suspicious points in the historical records, the most suspicious of which was that half a year before the appearance of the wind spirit Augustus, there was a small wave of undead in the night crater.
The sinkholes are located in a special location, full of abysses, extraterrestrial meteorites can be seen everywhere, and due to the large-scale magic disorder, naturally generated portals often appear near the nightfall crater, and a large number of otherworldly creatures are spewing out.
Therefore, around the sinkhole, there are many camps belonging to the Northern Empire, which specialize in monitoring the otherworldly creatures wandering in the sinkhole, and occasionally small-scale battles break out.
Twenty-six years ago, a wave of the undead erupted here, and thousands of undead creatures suddenly emerged from the sinkhole, slaughtering the nearest human outpost and then sweeping towards the nearest dwarven camp.
Although the number of soldiers was far less than that of the enemy, the dwarves still resisted while delivering letters to Iron Boots to buy time for their comrades in the rear.
At that moment, a white-clothed and white-haired elf appeared silently, and with a single arrow, he shot down the great vampire led by the undead army, and by the way, more than a hundred skeleton warriors disappeared from the world.
At that time, the dwarves did not contact him, because after defeating the undead army, the white-haired elves disappeared silently, and only the power of that arrow left a deep impression on the Iron Boot Dwarves, and the shock of the people back then can be seen between the lines of the historical records.
