Chapter 400

"The ice wall in the East should have been the skylight of the furnace area!"

"Well, it looks more like that. So the tunnel that runs all over the furnace area is a chimney? "

"Only a part of it, right? Most of the others are supposed to be channels for ore transportation within the mountains."

Millaras and Qin Lun discuss in a low voice. In just over ten minutes, they have explored all the furnace areas. There are channels in front of and behind the furnace area of tiexingpu. Due to its huge area, after investigation, people found that the furnace area is actually an arc-shaped area.

In addition to the 12 huge furnaces and the broken stone steles that have become fossils, other man-made objects have been severely eroded by the wind and have no original shape for a long time. It's no wonder that the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust. Stepping on it gently is a clear footprint.

The furnace area is filled with hazy light due to the ice wall suspected as a skylight. However, the passageway connected with it is still dark. If you go a little farther, you can't see your fingers. This is also the main reason why people dare not leave the furnace area.

"Eh, this is..." After half an hour, Kelly finally appeared in the tunnel entrance where Qin Lun and others came out.

"So there is a dwarf castle here?" Robin and stark looked at each other in surprise, which was really an unexpected development.

"Qin Lun, it's not safe here. There's a trace left by a giant creature in the tunnel we came in. Don't we continue to explore?" Stark's voice was a little hesitant, he asked softly on the team channel.

"There is no danger in what our apostles are going to do!" Qin Lun replied with a smile, "what your fortress team lacks most at present is contribution points. Among the extra rewards given by the world exploration degree, contribution points are generally very rich.

Most of the giant creatures are at the top of the food chain and are not social creatures. Isn't it easier to deal with the unknown giant creatures here than with the attacks of the santalinians? Besides, there are tall people standing against the sky. As long as this kind of creature is not intelligent, even if it reaches the legendary level, I believe that Kelly, a violent woman, can cope with it. "

"That's true, so we should explore this iron star castle?" Stark nodded.

"Ruins, treasures, explorations..." The leaders of Robin's and Stark's forts have yet to come to a final conclusion. On the other hand, Kelly, who learned from millaras the beginning and end of the incident, has jumped up like a child who has got a favorite toy, and her eyes have become stars.

"I'll go if I don't want to go!" Robin, who was familiar with Kelly's temperament, realized to cover his face in distress.

"Cough, you guys, have been mercenaries for so long, don't you have any curiosity?" Kelly coughed a few times in a pretentious way, and scolded the apostles with her arms crossed. "This is a vestige. Do you know it! If there are treasures, aren't all our mercenaries fighting for them? "

"If you can find some precious antiques here and get a large amount of them, you may not even need to do the employment task. The prince of some bullshit Elves will kill him!" Kelly waved like a female general commanding thousands of troops.

"Hello, shall we stand next to you?" Millaras and some elvish Rangers were suddenly covered in black lines.

When the apostles heard it, they were moved. Kelly was right. Regardless of the degree of world exploration, dwarves themselves are the best craftsmen. Although the objects of thousands of years ago are very unlikely to be preserved now, if there is any harvest, it will be no worse.

"Let's go, let's go After a while, Kelly, holding a newly lit torch, walked bravely to the dark passage on the right side of the furnace area.

"Ferrar, why don't you choose the right one instead of the left one? Isn't there still a stone tablet on the left?" Illistin asked softly, holding Qin Lun's arm.

"It's all the same. Look at the terrain here!" Qin Lun patted the back of her hand and explained with a smile, "the whole furnace area is an arc-shaped area with channels on both sides, which seems to lead to different areas. But think about what happens if the channels on both sides are still curved. "

"You mean that this area is a circle, and the channels on both sides will eventually close together?" As soon as Elizabeth's eyes brightened, she thought of something.

"Well, it's certain that the passageways on both sides will eventually converge, but I don't know which road will lead to other areas." Qin Lun nodded and smiled at Kelly at the front of the line.

With Kelly's performance, Qin Lun found that she had a deeper understanding of the martial arts Taoist. After the merger of fortress and loss, Kelly has been a little quiet. She basically doesn't give directions to the team's affairs. All of them are left to Robin.

Qin Lun thought that Kelly was not good at leading the team, but now it seems that she is just tired and lazy. Maybe this is what she is.

The torch in the team makes the front passage red, and the elongated figure in the dark passage is full of shadow, slowly creating a gloomy and horrible atmosphere.However, Qin Lun sensed sensitively that the plot elves, such as millaras and elistin, were calm and did not feel uncomfortable at all. On second thought, he was relieved. Whether it's comanso forest or jondar forest, it's a kind of big forest that blocks out the sun. The elves may have been used to the dark and gloomy environment for a long time.

For them, maybe this is just another rock forest.

The passage built by the dwarfs thousands of years ago is still well ventilated. Although some of the passageways are cold and gloomy, the air is dry, which looks like a long-standing cellar without people.

The speed of the procession is not fast, mainly because the distance that the torch can reflect is limited. People are looking at the environment of the passage curiously. If it is not proved that this passage is the iron star castle of ograng, then they will not believe that this passage is built by dwarves.

The reason is that this passage is too big. Maybe even Titan will feel too spacious when standing in this passage.

The furnace area is more than 50 meters high and covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters. It can also be said that it contains the relationship between giant furnaces. But this passage, which is more than 30 meters high and more than 20 meters wide, doesn't seem to be made for dwarves.

The stone wall of the passage is not directly cut out in the mountainside. From the regular wall joints, it can be seen that the passage is all made of huge stone blocks, and the structure is extremely solid.

There is no decoration on the stone wall, not even a pair of stone carvings. In the dark, the sound of people's footsteps reverberates and extends to the deep channel. Walking in this huge corridor that has not been passed by for thousands of years, an old and vicissitudes of life mood slowly grows in the hearts of all people.

"Why, is there a fork here?" While everyone was immersed in this strange mood, Kelly in front of the team stopped.

At present, there are only 18 people left. They all rush to Kelly and look forward curiously. Fortunately, the passage is so spacious that 18 people are standing in one place, which is not crowded at all.

There are three turnovers for Kelly. Apart from the one on the left side of the furnace, there are two side-by-side turnovers.

On Kelly's left hand, a narrower passage tilts down, as if to the bottom. The other is on Kelly's right hand, circling at an angle of 30 degrees, which looks like the top of the iron star castle.

"Millaras, since you recognize this iron star castle, you should know something about it. Which channel do you think is better for us! " Kelly looked at the prince of the genie and asked earnestly.

"This..." Millaras frowned slightly. He had seen the records of iron star castle in the Elven court of comanso, but there was no map of dwarf castle in these ancient books.

"I suggest you take the upper passage!" At this time, a clear voice came from the team.

"It's him!" Kelly looked back, and saw Qin Lun nodding at her with a smile. Her eyes immediately showed a trace of interest, "Your Highness Ferrar, can you tell me why?"

"Of course!" Qin Lun leaned back slightly and said with a smile, "I once saw in an ancient book that the alamil mountains were an active volcano ten thousand years ago, and the iron star castle built by dwarves was forged from the ground fire here.

In this case, in order to make more effective use of the fire resources, the dwarves should build the furnace area at the bottom of the castle. The living area and meeting place must be at the upper level, and the slag and waste area after smelting can only be below the furnace area. "

"An active volcano?" Kelly turned to look at Robin.

"It should be true that the thieves in the regiment have explored those huge furnaces. Although they are all blocked, it is certain that there is a direct underground pipeline under the furnace, which may be the underground fire vein described by the prince of the moon elves." Robin quickly replied on the lost team channel.

"Well!" Kelly shrugged her shoulders and led the way up the stretch.

"Sister Kelly, is there a problem?" Robin, who is very familiar with Kelly, looks at her movements and suddenly asks in the team channel.

"Very interesting! It's hard to even think of refutation when you say it, and naturally you believe his judgment. " Kelly chuckled on the team channel and said, "Robin, don't you think this highness Ferrar gives us a very familiar feeling?"

"Listen to you Morningstar, deputy commander? " Robin picked up the pretty willow eyebrows.

"Hee hee, that's the dead boy of Morningstar!" "Of course, this month's Elven prince can't be the morning star. However, it seems that there is another person in my memory who is very similar to him, but I can't think of it very much for a while... "
