The great fear suppressed the gray dwarf in front of him, but in the face of Marven's questioning, he seemed to be stunned.

He couldn't understand Marven's words!

Marven was a little embarrassed.

They use a lingua franca, but this lingua franca is generally used more widely in the surface world.

In the dark world, there is another set of underground lingua franca, but I haven't had time to learn it in this life!

Fortunately, although he doesn't understand the lingua franca of the underworld, Jessica, who has been fighting with the underworld race for many years, is very proficient.

Soon, the poor gray dwarf was caught by Marven by Jessica's side.

It was a huge square, and judging from the buildings on the side, it was the place where the gray dwarves held their celebrations and various events.

"Who are you? What's going on here? ”

Jessica asked in a very unkind tone.

The gray dwarf bullied the soft and feared the hard, and the two surface humans in front of him were not easy to mess with at first glance, and they spit out everything they knew at the moment.

After a few minutes, Marven and Jessica looked at each other and let the gray dwarf leave.

The information they wanted, basically, was already in hand.

It's just that the situation is a little trickier than they expected!

……

The gray dwarf's name is Shaun, and he is a very inconspicuous gray dwarf in the city of Bledsoe.

He has no talent as a craftsman, and he is usually lazy to cook, and his family is surrounded by walls, which can be described as the lowest existence in the city.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a cousin who owned a blacksmith's shop, he would have starved to death.

It would have been difficult for such a population to obtain any useful information.

But this time, the situation is a bit special.

According to Sean's description, Bledsoe City, problems began two months ago.

This time period is very sensitive, and both Marvin and Jessica notice. It was around the same time as the Dark Dragon God sent Clark to attack the City of Hope.

There must be some connection between the expansion of the Permafrost Spring and the awakening of the Black Dragon.

The specific information, Sean himself is naturally hearsay, fortunately, his cousin has a high status in the city, and after a few contacts, he only heard some insiders!

It turned out two months ago. The permafrost spring began to spray the extremely cold water outward!

These frigid waters freeze many underground rivers, including several that supply Bledsoe's freshwater.

The leader of the Grey Dwarves sent a number of craftsmen and scholars to study how to survive this underground winter—similar extremes have been recorded in history, but none of them have been so severe.

The climate began to deteriorate severely, and under the effect of the extremely cold waters, the already rare crops became scarcer, and people in the city began to freeze to death.

At this critical moment, the city of Bledsoe began to implement lockdown measures.

The gray dwarves gathered together. Discuss countermeasures.

Eventually, they came up with a way that should have access to enough water. As for the grain, I am afraid it can only be plundered by other city-states.

This is the law of survival in the underground world, plundering, killing, and mating are the three eternal tones of the underground world.

They sent skilled craftsmen to the frozen Abyssal River to dig a well of water in the frozen river.

According to the previous records in the history books. During the underground winter, the surface of many underground rivers is frozen. But there's plenty of water underneath.

As a result, such a dig has unearthed a huge scourge!

A few days after the opening of the Abyss River project, some strange signs appeared.

The slaves in charge of the excavation appear to have had a seizure and died tragically in front of everyone.

For the gray dwarves, this is a bad omen.

Many people think that they shouldn't dig anymore, but the leader of the gray dwarves is a very stubborn person. He personally presided over the Abyss River project and ordered to continue digging, and he must dig out fresh water!

After another three days, the city of Bledsoe received news that the leader had succeeded!

They managed to dig through the ice of the Abyssal River. Found the fresh water lurking underneath.

With fresh water, at least this winter won't be so sad.

However, just as the inhabitants of Bledsoe were rejoicing and preparing to welcome the return of the leaders, a high-ranking gray dwarf craftsman in charge of the Abyss River project appeared in front of the city gates, covered in blood.

The Grey Dwarf guards guarding the city were so frightened that they rushed him to be treated, but unfortunately, the craftsman had too many scars all over his body, and the Grey Dwarf's forged runes were nothing special in terms of healing.

The craftsman soon died.

When he died, he said a lot of gibberish.

He warned the people in the city not to open the door when the Abyssal River Project returned to Bledsoe.

Because...... That's a bunch of monsters!

These are the words of the craftsman.

But no one believed him.

Even if he had a high status in the city of gray dwarves during his lifetime, his words were just nonsense before he died.

There was only one person who chose to believe in him.

That's Sean.

Because that craftsman is his cousin who has helped him for many years.

This waste is also considered lucky, and after receiving the news from his cousin before his death, he immediately sold his cousin's blacksmith shop and obtained a fortune.

He used the money to buy a lot of grain and ale, and then shut himself up in the cellar and lived in isolation.

At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the city of Brandsoe.

He installed a prism on his doorstep - an ingenious setting that was also a relic of Shaun's cousin.

Through this little thing, he can observe everything outside in the cellar.

For the first few days, all were unharmed, and Sean was happy to be lazy at home, drinking, and sleeping.

But then, a loud noise woke him from his sleep.

He saw in the prism that the streets were full of gray dwarves and other creatures running around.

They actually started fighting each other!

Some people have panic in their eyes and they start to run away, and some people have pure white eyes!

As clean as snow!

Sean began to get scared, and his cousin's dying words came back to his mind over and over again!

"They've all turned into monsters!"

That was the poor gray dwarf's only thought.

This time, he did not dare to leave the cellar even more.

Every day, he secretly used his calmness to observe the situation on the street.

But the city is in chaos day by day, until one day, his house is broken into by monsters, and the prism is destroyed!

That was the worst time Sean was frightened, but luckily the entrance to his cellar was hidden and not discovered by the monsters.

All in all, as the days passed, Sean kept hiding in the cellar and didn't come out.

At last he had eaten all the food, drank all the wine, and starved for several days before he left the cellar with red eyes.

But when he came to the street, he was shocked to find that the city was empty!

It's as if everyone has disappeared!

Sean was so hungry that he had to look for food first, and then wine - without it, he couldn't live at all.

It was at this time that he met Marvin and Jessica.

……

"It's clear that the gray dwarves who disappeared have gone to the City of Hope."

Marven shrugged his shoulders and came to a conclusion.

The dark ghost has indeed been awakened, but I don't know how many ghost mothers have awakened this time?
