Different from the complex human beings, dwarves don't have so many bad hearts. Their character is as solid and thick as that shown in architecture. Everything starts from pragmatism, so it's safer to cooperate with them.
Or it is related to their character. Unlike humans, they don't have a lot of red tape set up to show the majesty of those in power. Even if they meet the king, they only need to be informed by the guard at the door.
The people waited outside the hall for less than two minutes, and the guards brought the news of the king's move.
The king city also shows the rough aesthetics of dwarves. The ceiling is so high that you have to look up to see it. No decorative sculpture is amazing, and it is mostly made of precious gold, no matter how bad it is, it is also fine steel.
The same is true of the throne room. With the half foot thick gate slowly opened, a more magnificent palace appeared in front of the four people.
The roof is supported by marble columns as thick as a towering tree. Two ditches from the water supply system flow quietly on both sides of the hall. The bright red carpet with Phnom Penh is under their feet. Apple tea and the brave are invincible. They are even a little worried that their boots will dirty it.
——I feel like I can't afford it.
On both sides of the hall stood a row of dwarves in robes, dressed like civil servants, but their thin robes were as strong as iron muscles. As long as they were armed, these guys would instantly turn into excellent soldiers.
At the top of the hall, there is a throne matching the size of the palace.
The back of the chair stood high at the top of an's line of sight, almost out of sight. The decoration also carries the unique "pride" of the dwarves. It is almost wrapped in precious metal, and eight bright gemstones are inlaid on the backrest. Even in the surrounding bright light sources, the gemstones still shine, as if the lighting lights can't hide their light.
The eight gemstones represent the eight ancient kingdoms of the dwarves. Although they have become history, they are the most important thing outside the clan.
On the throne, there sat a dwarf who was not commensurate with the gorgeous throne. He said that he was not commensurate because he was wearing a heavy golden plate armor and his beard was messy on his face. He was not as careful as other dwarves.
But he held the scepter of kingship in his hand. This was the dwarf king of ikasha.
"Your Majesty, fortunately, I brought the adventurer back."
Gol Shiquan knelt down on one knee, and the players behind him also stroked their chests and saluted to express their respect.
The king nodded and said "thank you" and then looked at the players. To be exact, his eyes were mainly on an Yizhi's robe and the brave and invincible dylandar.
No dwarf is a natural craftsman. They are far more sensitive to rocks and metals than other races, and the king is no exception.
"Welcome, adventurers from afar. Thank you for helping the dwarves at this time."
The king's voice was very powerful. He was a young dwarf, and his energy and mental power were at their peak, but an Yizhi could still see that there seemed to be some fatigue on his face.
"The situation has changed. Please have a rest in the city."
Apple tea and the brave invincible heard the King say so, raised his eyes and looked at an. The latter was also impolite and stepped forward:
"What has changed?"
"You are Mr. an Yizhi."
The dwarf king did not mind this degree of impoliteness. He told what had just happened by pressing his temple with a headache.
Not long ago, about an hour or two ago, a few players on the dwarf side and NPC adventurers were jointly besieged and suppressed by the dark elves side in the ruins. This was a premeditated assassination, which made players who thought it was just similar to other exploration missions suffer a great loss. Almost all of them died back, and they are not out of the weak period yet.
So the dwarf King plans to let an Yizhi have a rest, wait until other players have passed the weakness period, and then go in together. After all, only holding a group can resist the attack of the dark elves.
To be honest, it's impossible to hold a group, because there are too many players helping the dark elves, almost four times as many as the dwarves. The dwarf king has a headache.
No wonder when entering the city, all players have a smelly expression. It turned out that they really died once.
The dark elves do abide by the agreement, but that doesn't mean they won't play tricks in the agreement. The dwarf sent the smartest guy, but he still didn't notice the pit in the agreement, especially the "can't attack each other" clause in the ruins. The definition was not rigorous enough, and the dark elves caught the loophole.
The current situation is very disadvantageous to the dwarves. Although the relics of the dwarf Kingdom and the relics of ancient elves are large and time-consuming to explore, the number of players on the dark elves side is also the largest. In addition, now the players on the dwarves side are blocked outside the door by them, and one of them dies. It is almost equal to that the two relics are occupied by the dark elves.
This is not good news for an Yizhi and the three of them.
There are so many relics in total, and the number of equipment and skills they can find is also limited. Under the situation of more wolves and less meat, how many good things they can find... It really depends on God's face.
Generally speaking, the best solution to today's situation is to go to the dark elves. In fact, many players have done so. After all, integrity is not a problem for players.
But an Yizhi doesn't intend to do so. As the saying goes, it's better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. In the most difficult time of the dwarf Kingdom, selling them a favor will reap much more than running to the dark elves to pile up. You know, dwarves produce a lot of rare metals and magic gems. Although they are unlikely to give them away, as long as they are willing to sell them, those things are usually for their own use and are strictly prohibited from export.
As for the players sent by the dark elves to encircle and suppress? That's not a problem at all. Eat my skeleton summoning!
Thinking about the gains and losses of interests, an pointed up and said:
"Your Majesty, is there anything in the ruins that needs our attention?"
"You really... Don't think about it and go later?"
Ann looked at the system time. She really had to wait because she was about to have lunch.
"We do have to wait, but I hope we will take the lead."
"But they are numerous..."
The dwarf king suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him had made a lot of big news. He was a troublemaker whose reputation spread all over the multi universe. Without two brushes, he couldn't do so. He didn't advise anything more. Instead, he simply said the precautions and gave a scroll recording detailed rules and agreements.
This is similar to the system contract commonly used by players. It is relatively weak and is not enforced. The binding force mainly depends on how strong the God branded with the God's name on the agreement. The dwarf's hand is naturally their main God, the soul forging moladin.
An Yizhi was very serious about this. Even if the other party was a famous honest man, he wouldn't be careless. He carefully read the scroll and asked each clause he thought might be problematic before asking the other two to sign their names.
"Are there only three of you? Is there too little?"
Sign the agreement, asked the dwarf king.
Ordinary player teams are usually full of four people, and there are large groups of several teams acting together. Especially in dark areas, the four person team service provided by the system is not enough.
"Your majesty! I'd like to go with them."
Gelshiquan volunteered. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. It is estimated that he had planned so when he took the task of comoria bringing players back.
There was a flicker of hesitation on the dwarf King's face. A dwarf who should be a minister in the queue on the left in front of him said in a stern tone:
"Geel, there's nothing for you here. Go home!"
"Father... I mean, patriarch, why can't I go? I long for glory. Didn't you teach me from childhood?"
The man was still gel's father and was about to say something. The dwarf King preempted:
"The attack of the dark elves just made your stone fist clan lose a lot of excellent soldiers."
To put it simply, gel's father didn't want him to take the risk.
"Then let me go. I'm a soldier of stone fist. The blood of the clan won't flow in vain. I'll let the dark elves pay the price."
"I know you will, but..."
After all, the fertility of dwarves is no better than that of elves. He has only such a son.
"Give up. Geel is already a real dwarf."
The king sighed and advised father gel, and then said to him:
"Are you really willing to participate in this near death action with the adventurer?"
Gell clapped the fine steel breastplate and said excitedly:
"Yes, it's my honor."
"Then go. Moradin will forge blessings for every brave dwarf."
If it were not in the main hall and in front of his majesty, it is estimated that GER would jump up excitedly.
It was an Yizhi's expectation that a dwarf would follow, because there was a provision in the agreement that the adventurer must be accompanied by a dwarf guide during the relic operation, not for surveillance. The main reason was that the players did not know anything to exchange for a reward from ikasha city. In case they destroyed important documents with rough hands and feet, it would be an irreparable loss for the dwarf.
Moreover, Geer is also a good soldier. At the player level, he also has level 30, which at least won't hold everyone back. What's more, the place they are going to is the ancient ruins of the dwarf kingdom. Maybe there are some mechanisms that can be opened only by dwarves, so he doesn't object to Geer following, but there's another problem.
"Now, can we discuss the question of compensation?"
If you can be such a philistine in such a serious place, only an Yizhi, who desperately wants money
