Chapter 702

While Ren was observing the dwarf king, the other party was also looking at Ren.

A tiny ray of lightning flashed in the eyes of the king of the hill, as if he had sensed something, a slight change could not help but occur on his majestic face.

Ryan also felt something unusual.

This is the breath of thunder and lightning.

The dwarf king's lightning affinity is extremely high, far higher than anyone he has ever seen, stronger than himself with six lightning affinity.

Legendary element Thunderlord!

Although the eyes of the soul can't clearly see the elements of the dwarf king, like seeing flowers through a fog, they can still sense a powerful force that has never been seen before. Unlike holy soul wizards or spellcasters, they are melee professionals, around level 30!

This is the second melee class above level 30 that Ryan has seen.

The first one is Eternal God's Chosen Ikon, and the dwarf king in front of him is the second one. Maybe because it is not hostile, the dwarf king's sense of oppression for himself is far less than Eternal God's Chosen, but it must not be underestimated.

The king of the hill at level 30 has already stood at the pinnacle of the world.

"Ren," Blestein introduced, "this is His Majesty Magna Brass Ring of our Lava Fort Kingdom."

"I have seen His Majesty Magna." Ren saluted as a sign of respect.

"Welcome, Earl of Glamorgan." With a smile on his face, Magna said in a deep yet clear voice, "Lava Castle has had no foreign guests for many years, everyone in Lava Castle is looking forward to the arrival of the Earl of Glamorgan. "

His expression is very sincere, which makes people feel good.

Ren's soul eye also saw the kindness of the other party. Although the words were polite, the way of hospitality was real.

With the respect of a king, personally going to the teleportation array to greet him is enough to explain everything.

In the previous life, it was equivalent to a head of state picking him up at the airport.

"Your Majesty's personal welcome made me terrified." Ren also expressed his kindness.

Although the behavior of the lava castle was unpleasant before, and Zoltan only came to visit because of Zoltan's face, but since he has already come, he must settle things so as not to make a wasteful trip.

"The Earl of Glamorgan is serious." Magna nodded slightly, "If it wasn't for me not being able to leave my people easily, I would definitely go to the Empire to discuss with His Excellency the Earl, please forgive me."

"It's a great honor to have the opportunity to visit Lava Fortress." Ren smiled, and said polite words on his mouth, and the other party's words were half true and half false.

The real part is that the dwarf king really cannot leave the World Mountains at will, and this time there are three kings, the impact of traveling together is too great; the false part is that there is a teleportation array, and the two parties can actually meet in a very secret way It will be rumored without fanfare.

Magna insisted on talking about things in Lava Fort, and still wanted to have the advantage of the home court and use the momentum to overwhelm others.

Ren knew well that since the other party invited him to visit Lava Fortress, the negotiation had actually begun, and he had brought Zoltan to make him unable to refuse.

It can be seen from this that the dwarves have demands on themselves, and the plans are very big.

Ren already had a judgment in his heart.

"Your Excellency, please follow me." After some pleasantries, King Magna made a gesture of invitation.

A king's guard composed of more than thirty fully armed dwarf warriors opened the way ahead. These dwarves are the elite among the elite, and the rune armor on their bodies is more sophisticated than the steel shield guards guarding the hall. Mi Wu, but it is like an indestructible wall of steel.

Today, however, the dwarves of the King's Guard appear less imposing.

When Rennes was talking to King Magna, the dwarves looked at the Ultramarines with their eyes hidden in their helmets. They didn't know that the Ultramarines were barbarians. There were no runes on the Ultramarines' blue armor. The material was extremely high, but it was not enchanted, but it couldn't hide the powerful aura it emitted.

These tall extraordinary beings are all legends!

The dwarves were shocked. The King's Guard is the most elite force in Lava Fortress. Most of the members are high-ranking. Only the squad leader and above are legendary fighters, and there is only one in twenty.

A legendary and extraordinary army with all members completely overturned the knowledge of the dwarves.

There is also the weapon of the Ultramarines, the huge bolter in their hands, which also attracted the attention of the dwarves. They have never seen such a big soul gun.

The King's Guard led the way, and the Ultramarines followed.

Amidst the sound of rumbling footsteps, the team walked out of the hall.

A huge underground city unfolded in front of his eyes. When Ren looked around, there was only one feeling, and that was the grandeur!

He once entered the Ironbeard Fortress underground in Longshande, and he was no stranger to the dwarf city, but the Ironbeard Fortress had been abandoned for thousands of years, and the collapse was serious, without a trace of human habitation, just like a dead and silent ancient tomb.

But the fortress in front of him was full of vitality.

In the huge cave that can't be seen at a glance, precious crystal lamps are everywhere, and the warm-toned lights illuminate the carefully planned wide streets. The ground seems to be cut out of a whole rock, and the buildings on the street are all made of rocks. The steps, pillars, porches, and roofs... are all neat stones, tightly stitched, and engraved with countless exquisite reliefs. There are also stone statues of dwarf gods or dwarf heroes, full of solemnity.

The height of dwarves is usually less than 1.5 meters, but their architectural style regards "big" as the beauty, followed by the pursuit of durability, which can resist the invasion of time.

This kind of strong style of architecture can give people a great impact and create a sense of insignificance.

Ren has been to the Temple of the Storm.

The grandeur of the Lava Fortress is no less than that of the Temple of Storms, and the application of energy may not be as good as that of the Temple of Storms, but in terms of scale, it is still superior.

If you don't look up and see the 100-meter-high dome, and only look at the brightly lit city, it's hard to imagine that this is located deep underground in the World Mountain Range.

Walking out of the hall, Ren and his party were immediately watched by the dwarves.

"Your Majesty the King!"

"Meet Your Majesty..."

The dwarves and civilians on the side of the road moved to both sides one after another, bowing to King Magna to salute. The eyes of the dwarves are full of respect and love, and the admiration on their faces comes from the heart, as if they could see it with their own eyes, which shows that Magna has a high status in the hearts of the people.

Then, the eyes of the dwarves were attracted by Ren and the Ultramarines.

The tall and powerful Ultramarines gave the dwarves a great sense of oppression, causing many dwarves to stare straight at them, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Wherever the Ultramarines passed, they became the focus of everyone like a whirlwind.

While walking, Magna introduced Lava Fort to Ren, and raised his hand to greet his people from time to time. Although he maintained a good appearance on the surface, Ren's soul eyes noticed the change in his mind, and his attention In fact, it has also been transferred to the Ultramarines.

"Your Excellency Earl, your Ultramarines have opened the eyes of the dwarves." King Magna praised, with imperceptible helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Apparently, his plan to use the lava castle to keep Rennes in check failed.

"Your Majesty, thank you." Ren smiled and said modestly: "They are just some barbarian fighters. They have only been in the army for a few years. Compared with the dwarf fighters who have created countless brilliant achievements in history, the Ultramarines still have a lot to offer. Long way to go."

Magna sighed, "The glory of the past has finally passed."

Ren's heart moved slightly, and this sentence revealed a lot of information.

He knew two dwarves, Zoltan and Bremet, both of whom were citizens of Lava Castle, and had mentioned the current status of Lava Castle and dwarves before.

The third era is the most glorious period for the dwarves, who compete with the elves for the hegemony of Alan Erth and carve up the new continent. After the end of the era, the vitality of the two clans was seriously injured, and they returned to their original places. The dwarves retreated to the underground fortress in the mountains of the world. At the lowest point of the dark millennium, there were only three fortresses left by the dwarves, and the lava castle was one of them, and the other two were the highest mountain and the single peak.

The Mithril Palace and the Valley of the Nine Peaks were recovered after the beginning of the new era.

Among the five underground fortresses, Zhigaoshan has the highest status, the largest scale, and the longest history. It is the birthplace of all dwarves.

In the past, the High King, also known as the "High King", ruled over all the Dwarves.

But now, the pattern of dwarves has changed.

Each underground fortress is independent, and a city is a kingdom, supporting a king. The status and prestige of the High Mountain King is higher than that of other dwarf kings, but the scope of his rights is limited to the High Mountain Fortress, and the Dwarf High King is dead in name only.

The Copper Ring clan from which King Magna was born had been the royal family of Lava Castle since the beginning of the third era, ruling Lava Castle for nearly 10,000 years.

The scale and history of this underground fortress is second only to the highest mountain. After more than two thousand years of restoration, the population has reached more than 500,000, which is close to the limit that the lava castle can bear.

According to Bremet, Lava Fortress has been expanding the fortress, digging larger caverns, and even opening up hidden dwarven villages in the world mountains above the ground, so as to reduce the pressure on the fortress.

The other underground fortresses, Mithril Palace and Nine Peaks Valley are still in the recovery period, and there is no problem for the time being.

The situation of Zhigaoshan and Dufeng is similar to that of Lava Castle.

The population of these three fortresses has increased significantly, even more than at its peak. In recent years, the supply of resources and food has gradually exceeded demand, and it is no longer enough to just grow mushrooms underground. The only solution is to get out of the underground fortress and open up a new living space like in the third era.

But now is the new era, the old continent is the human world, and it is impossible for dwarves to compete with humans.

Both Bremet and Zoltan have spoken out about it with concern.

Thinking of this, Ren vaguely guessed the intentions of the three dwarf kings, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he already had an idea in his heart.

A dwarf's underground stronghold usually has ten floors, with the top five floors being the main living quarters.

As you can see along the way, the cave is almost full of dwarves, and the surrounding walls are dug into caves deep into the rock, and there are also a large number of dwarves living in them. The spirit of the dwarves is quite good, and there is no shortage of clothing, but most of the equipment is simple, and the race that is best at forging does not have qualified weapons, which shows the shortage of resources.

King Magna took Ren, and entered the fourth floor from the third floor under the eyes of many dwarves.

This layer is the most important area of ​​Lava Fortress.

Entering it, Ren immediately felt the temperature rise, as if entering a furnace.

In fact, this entire floor is a huge forge. A river of lava passes through various caves. The dwarves dug ditches, drained the lava, circled the caves multiple times, and used the heat of the magma to create mountain armor. In the core cave on the fourth floor, the heat wave was rolling, and the red light of the magma reflected the dome. Ren looked up and saw a 100-meter-wide lava waterfall pouring down, falling into a huge magma lake.

Hundreds of forging benches were built by the lake, and hundreds of dwarven blacksmiths were sweating profusely, shirtless, beating the metal on the anvil.

The sound of clanging irons can be heard endlessly.

This is the very famous "Great Forge" in the history of the dwarves, and it is also the source of the name of the lava castle.

Seeing that Ryan was very interested in the great forge, King Magna couldn't help but look pale, so he led Ryan around the great forge and stayed for a while.

Leaving the large forge, the temperature gradually dropped to a comfortable range and entered the noble area.

There are also nobles among the dwarves, but they are generally not hereditary. They need to rely on military exploits and contributions to the kingdom to be canonized. They are usually powerful warriors or highly skilled craftsmen.

Soon after, the group arrived at their destination.

A fortress dug out of the rock, with 100-meter-high stone statues standing on both sides of the gate. From the armor and crown of the stone statues, it can be seen that their prototypes are the historical lava castle kings, with a majestic look, holding a warhammer, guarding the lava Fort Throne.

Pass between the two stone statues, enter the fortress, and a huge palace appears in front of you.

The long palace is more than 200 meters long and 40 meters wide. Two rows of tall dwarf stone statues stand opposite each other, with a dome more than 30 meters high above their heads. The weapons are also made of metal, obviously more than statues.

At the end of the palace is a tall rock throne.

Under the throne, stood a large group of dwarves, which were clearly divided into two groups. Their appearance, rune armor, and dressing style were also very different.

These dwarves are clearly not members of Lava Hold.

The most famous difference is the color of their beards. The dwarves in Lava Fortress are mainly red and brown, while for these two groups of dwarves, the beards on the left are white, while the beards on the right are as black as ink.

Two groups of dwarves each surrounded a mighty dwarf wearing a crown.

Ren swept his gaze at the gate of the palace, his pupils were reddish. These two are the kings of the hill. Especially the white-bearded dwarf on the left, with sharp eyes, wearing a thick gold-like armor, neatly groomed beard, tied into more than a dozen beautiful braids, his body develops horizontally but does not look bloated at all, which contains a terrifying aura. strength.

Another king of the hill above level 30.

The eyes of the soul quickly sensed that the dwarf king's strength was even better than Magna's, almost comparable to the Eternal Chosen!

In contrast, the black-bearded dwarf on the right looked much younger, and his strength was at the bottom of the three kings, less than twenty-five levels.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the palace.

The eyes of all the dwarves fell on the Ultramarines, and Ren waved his hand, making the Ultramarines stay where they were, and followed King Magna forward.

Under the throne, everyone stood still.

Blestein said loudly: "Lord Earl, please allow me to introduce you." He pointed to the white bearded dwarf, "This is the King of the Highest Mountain, His Majesty Solingel Broken Star." Then he looked at the black man again. The bearded dwarf, "This is King Dufeng, Your Majesty Dann Ironhand."

Under the attention of the dwarves, Ren greeted neither humble nor overbearing: "I have seen the two majesties."
