Vol 2 Chapter 189: ·The dwarf kingdom

"Go down here and go a little further, you should be in the dwarf kingdom."
Turning off the horse, looking at the dark passage in front of him, Geralt looked at Hydera next to him calmly...No, instead of being calm, he was completely accustomed to Hydera's actions. From the first shock, incredible, to the numbness now, God knows that Geralt's worldview has shattered several times. Obviously a mage, why is he more mad than his own demon hunter in close combat?
mdzz... The demon hunter doesn't want face?
Thinking, sighing, Geralt shook his head helplessly.
"I won't go in here, let's separate here..."
Heard did not refuse, because he could feel, in this dark, channel like a giant tree cave, there was a strange breath. And, relying on that extremely developed hearing, Hydera could hear a sound of iron.
Looking at the heavy purse in his hand, Geralt's face rose a bit embarrassed... To be honest, he was ready to be deducted the commission. Because for demon hunters or mercenaries, it is a very negligent thing not to send the employer personally. After thinking about it, Geralt finally shook his head. Take out a third of the gold coins in the purse and give it back to Hydera.
"Some are too many, I just take a part."
Heard that, Hydera raised her eyebrows with interest.
"Why? Do mercenaries still have too much money?"
"No, just to ensure credibility."
Geralt said: "Our reputation is more important than money. It is my problem not to send you to the destination. If I get a full commission, it will be difficult when I take the task later... "
"Then why didn't you finish this last part with me? Isn't it far from the dwarf kingdom?"
Hearing the words for a moment, Geralt sighed only once.
"I used to walk here...the traps laid out by many dwarves in the tree cave to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. I didn't care at first, after all, I said how to be a little famous demon hunter...until I was in my knee One arrow left a dark wound, and a little steeper place is very dangerous for me..."
Then, after a pause, Geralt continued: "I was going to take you around the road, although the road will be longer, but at least safe. But now it seems... it seems that there is no such need at all..." After spreading his hands, Geralt's face was full of helplessness: "The first time I saw a wizard like you..."
"Then where are you going to go next?"
"Spartan."
"Oh?"
Hearing Geralt's words, Hydera, who was about to leave, looked at Geralt, who was interested, a little.
"Spartan?"
Nodding his head, Geralt replied: "Something happened before. I lost contact with my adoptive daughter Hili... The reason why I took this task was to earn some travel expenses. I hadn't planned this yet, but the world The appearance of the door I think more or less will also attract the sight of Xili. So I plan to go to the Great Wall to see it."
Hearing Geralt's words, Hydera didn't continue to say anything, just nodded and turned to the dark cave.
As Geralt said, this black cave is full of various traps... but this trap is not a trap set for humans, but more like a set of two kinds of monsters trap.
Relying on strong physical qualities, Hydera easily passed all kinds of traps and came to the end of the passage... The dwarf's voice was very recognizable, perhaps because he stayed underground all year round, so their voice Very rough, like sanding their own throat with sandpaper. The houses are shorter than normal humans, and there are few traces of modification. The thick rock mass is directly exposed, and the whole world is dim, just like the hollowed-out mountains.
Perhaps because of the proximity to Mosbelheim, the kingdom of flames, the entire Swatheim is also full of heat. Especially at the end of Hydera's sight, deep in the dwarf kingdom, a magma lake on the ground where reddish magma flows more easily. A large number of dwarves carried out this forging, and their surroundings were open-air. The stone inscribed with the Rune Rune radiates a dazzling light, which brings a little light to the dim world.
Because of the previous hatred, the gods expelled their lovers underground. Although the dwarves like the environment underneath very much, this does not mean that they do not yearn for sunlight. It is even said that the reason why they agreed to the request of the gods and cast the chains that bound Fenril for them was to exchange the conditions so that the dwarves would always have the right to travel to the atrium and other worlds and enjoy the sun.
It is precisely because of the old hatred that the dwarves did not worship the so-called gods, but their ancestors, and the statue of their ancestors was erected in the center of the magma lake, holding a hammer in the shape of a ram head, Unlike the usual ruggedness of the dwarves, the statue standing in the middle of the magma lake is very delicate, not only the patterns on the armor, but even the wrinkles on the clothes are carved without any size-the first dwarf king Ai Cui ·Bronze whiskers.
"Who are you? Why come to the dwarf kingdom?!"
Probably because the long-term survival underground, the vision of the dwarves is generally good. In the information known to Hydera, the dwarf's vision is three times that of the normal person, and he is born with the ability to night vision and has a very wide field of vision. Put on the battlefield of later generations, it is definitely an undoubted sharpshooter, but unfortunately, the development of the times limits them. In this era of cold weapons, people care more about their muscles that are far tougher than normal humans...even if their vision More powerful.
"I'm from Sparta."
Hydera took off the sombrero on his head, with a soft smile on his kind face, like a gentle elder, making it difficult to be malicious...
"I heard that the dwarf family's casting technology is the first in Northern Europe, so I want to see if I can cast a weapon suitable for me."
Hearing Hydera's words, the dwarf in heavy armor, holding a short-handed battle axe, froze for a moment, and looked at his companion. He didn't care about Hydera's words, but said in surprise: "Are you Spartan?!"
"If it's fake replacement."
Hydera seemed very calm.
