Chapter 81: Arrived in the capital

Out of this main road, Xiao Chen finally followed Ansaldo to the dwarf king capital.
"This is Lavapolis, the great lava city of our king." Ansaldo has been here countless times, but the first time he came here with humans, his voice still has unstoppable pride.
In front of Xiao Chen's eyes was a magnificent fiery red canyon, and they were standing at the top of the canyon at this time, the canyon stretched out like a new world in front of them. The canyon is deep and long, with a faint mist evaporating from below. At the deepest bottom, a red river divides the canyon in half. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were carved by dwarves like terraces, and on each level there are many rock-built houses distributed one after another. Occasionally the wind blows, and it will carry a warm breath. There is also a knocking sound from a distant place. The sound has a strange rhythm. It is like there are countless forging hammers striking the iron felt, but the rhythm is not annoying, but it is like striking. The drumming of the heart gives a feeling of blood boiling.
The people who came here for the first time, whether human or dwarf, were shocked by this sight. Farrell, staring at the familiar scenes that had appeared in his dreams countless times for a long time, couldn't help but burst into tears.
He knelt down on the ground, kissed the rock under his feet, and then struck the ground with the sound of a hammer in the distance.
His two sons followed from behind, doing the same movements as he did.
Ruhao's singing sounded from here
"The river of lava, boiling and rolling,
The flame jumped and cast my soul.
Valley of Ten Thousand Hammers
Iron and steel contention, forging me ... "
The dwarves brought by Xiao Chen were quickly infected by the song and sang the song together.
Later, even Ansaldo's guards sang along.
After singing a forge hammer carol, Farrell wiped his face with his sleeve and stood up from the ground, saying to Xiao Chen, "I'm sorry, I can't help myself. I think it's been too long here."
Xiao Chen said, "If I go back home for so long, I will definitely do the same thing as you."
Ansaldo said, "Farel, you are not the only one here singing the carols of the hammer. I have seen such scenes a few times. Wherever our dwarves go, their roots are here."

"I just wanted to come in quietly, but when I saw the look of the river of lava and heard the sound of the Valley of the Hammer, I just wanted to kiss this fast ground." Farrell said.
"The following is a river of lava, which is the river of lava you said?" Umeda asked, even though she had traveled dozens of worlds, she had never been here. These dwarves have been neglected in many battles in the past.
"Yes. That is the river of lava, the mother river of the dwarf. Standing here can also feel her burning breath. When a dwarf dies, no matter where he is, the last wish must be to put his body into lava River. "Farrell said.
He reached his finger in the far direction of the valley, where there seemed to be the sound of a hammer, "Crossing this canyon, after the turning cliff, is the Valley of the Hammer, where countless workshops are being built every day. All kinds of things, where I used to work is also there. This sound is really nice. "
Xiao Chen said, "In the next few days, we still need to wait for Governor Ansaldo's arrangement. You should have time to walk around. You can go back to your family when the time comes."
Farrell said, "Before I came here, I was thinking about how to give those old guys a color. Now that I'm seeing my hometown again, I just want to take a look back at my family."
Ansaldo led Xiao Chen and his party along a road to the bottom of the canyon, and they were able to see more clearly the situation inside the dwarf king capital. From the lava river upwards, the houses on both sides are more dilapidated and shorter, and the lower the houses are, the larger they are. The most magnificent houses are all a few hundred meters away from the river of lava. However, whether it is a palace or a bungalow in the valley, it is made of light red stone, blending with the color of the canyon itself, but it seems very harmonious.
Farrell said, "For dwarves, the closer to the river of lava, the more likely they are to be blessed by the of forging. So the nobles get the position near the river of lava according to the level of the hierarchy. The two buildings closest to the river of lava. The second is the house of the six major families. Some of the above are various public buildings, such as arenas, libraries, material warehouses and the like. The top is the house of the little noble, Continue to go up to the houses of soldiers, merchants and craftsmen, and at the top are the places where farmers and slaves live. "
"Does Wangdu also have farmers? But what can be planted underground?" Xiao Chen asked.
Ansaldo said, "At the top of the canyon, there are fields of grass, a crop called rock rice. It grows without sunlight, and absorbs the heat in the air and the rocks. It tastes difficult. Eat, but enough to feed those civilians and slaves. As for the food that the nobles eat, they are transported from outside. "
A group of people talked and walked down the road. Xiao Chen found that the light source of the entire dwarf king capital, in addition to the light emitted by the river of lava and the surrounding reflections, there was also a lot of light coming from the layer of rock wall The illuminated spar, the white light emitted by the spar and the red light of the river of lava intersect, forming the hue of the entire king.
Walking down a little bit, Xiao Chen found that although he was getting closer and closer to the river of lava, the surrounding temperature did not rise much. He looked around and found that many magic circles were engraved in the rock, which could isolate the heat and absorb the heat to become some kind of energy.
Dwarves are not heat-resistant races. At least they are also carbon-based creatures. The basic structure of the body follows the same standards as humans. So to survive in such a position, these magic circles are essential.
Xiao Chen carefully observed the lines of the magic circle, and found that some of them became the energy for lighting spar. There are other lines leading into the house, he guessed they could provide energy for certain tools in the room.
It can be seen from this that it is not an accident that dwarves live here. They actually used geothermal energy to build their country. It is not an exaggeration to make the Lava River their mother river. I am afraid that many places in their lives will use the energy of the river of lava.
