Chapter 110: Iron need fortress

"You react quickly, it's Thor's Hammer."
Zoltan nodded slightly and said solemnly: "But you may not know that Thor's Hammer has experienced five masters, and Emperor Elfa is only the fourth. The first three owners are all dwarven supreme kings from the Ironbeard clan. , Because Thor’s Hammer was cast by the Ironbeard clan with the strength of the clan, as the town’s treasure."
Renn felt stunned.
There have been dozens of high kings in the history of the dwarves. It is very rare for the Ironbeard clan to have three. Obviously this legendary warhammer is an important factor.
The underground fortress of Longshande was built by the Ironbeard clan.
The relationship between these made Renn immediately understand why Zoltan mentioned Emperor Elfa.
He asked a little excitedly: "Emperor Elfa entered the Ironbeard Underground Fortress, got the Thor's Hammer, and then came out of it?"
"Yes." Zoltan said: "It's not just Emperor Elfa, the fifth master of Thor's Hammer, Walden, who claimed to be the successor of the Emperor more than a thousand years ago, was also in Longshande before he became famous. Having lived for many years, he must have entered the iron fortress."
"Walden the usurper?" Renne knew this man.
This Walden is also a famous figure in the history of the empire, with mixed reputations.
He was born in a family of blacksmiths and later became an extraordinary man. He was originally unknown, but suddenly he did not know where he got the Thor's Hammer, which was missing for thousands of years. He did many amazing heroes and feats. He also claimed to be the orthodox heir of Emperor Elfa With great strength, trying to force the emperor to give way.
The emperor at that time was also a powerful figure, and of course he refused to give up the throne. There were also a large number of supporters behind Walden, and the two sides launched a series of struggles.
This turmoil lasted for several years and swept the entire empire.
The final result was unexpected to everyone.
The emperor died in the conflict, and Walden was also severely wounded and killed by the assassins. It is still unknown who killed him. This has become a famous historical mystery.
In order to avoid being purged by the successor emperor, Walden's supporters frantically massacred the entire royal family, and the blood of Elfa the Great was cut off, and the imperial power died.
Since then, there has been no emperor in the empire, and the ruling power has fallen into the hands of the "Kemitis Supreme Council".
The Thor's hammer, which caused trouble, disappeared again after Walden's death.
Ren quickly thought about it.
The Thor's Hammer is a treasure forged by the Ironbeard clan. The dwarves evacuated Hoshkin Tak. Many years later, Elfa the Great obtained the Thor's Hammer and established an empire.
The Oriance Empire was formally established in New Era 221, and the dwarves retreated around 1,200 BC, with an interval of more than 1,400 years.
When the dwarves leave the underground fortress, they will definitely take the Quake away.
However, after more than a thousand years, Elfa the Great obtained this legendary warhammer from the Ironbeard Underground Fortress.
Alpha the Great passed away after fifty years of his reign, and Thor's Hammer was also missing until it was acquired by the usurper Walden around 1350 in the New Era, which was an interval of nearly 1,200 years.
After Walden's death, the warhammer disappeared again and never appeared since.
These clues were connected, and Ren had guesses.
"It seems that you have guessed it." Zoltan smiled triumphantly when he saw his expression, and said: "I discovered from an ancient book of the Ironbeard clan that the main material of Thor's Hammer is an extremely rare The Void Meteorite Steel has the ability to travel through space. It is very likely that every time it disappears, it will return to its birthplace, which is the Ironbeard Underground Fortress."
Renn's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and his heart throbbed.
Zoltan shook his head and said seriously: "This is just our guess, not necessarily correct. Don't have too much expectations."
"And that's a legendary weapon, even if it's there, it won't be easy for you to take it away."
"You should know the rumors of Thor's Hammer better than me."
Zoltan said these things, only thinking that Ren would be interested, instead of going into the fortress to find the legendary warhammer. This was not his purpose.
"I understand." Renn nodded slightly, exhaled a long breath, suppressing his excitement.
The Thor’s Hammer is known as the heaviest weapon in the world, so it has another nickname called "World Breaker." In various legends, Elfa the Great put the warhammer on the ground and let others try, but there was no One person can lift it up.
Whether it is a human elven dwarf, or a giant troll dragon, no matter how powerful it is, it can't shake the warhammer at all. It is very magical.
Only the owner of the Warhammer knows the secret of lifting Thor's Hammer.
But no matter what, Ren didn't want to miss such an opportunity, at least to go to the underground fortress, even if it is good to take a look, so as not to regret in the future.
Without hesitation, he said, "Zoltan, I will go in with you."
"Okay." Zoltan was very happy, and then said again: "I'll go up and talk to Roger, you go back and rest well, we will go in tomorrow morning."
"Do I need to make any special preparations?" Rehn asked carefully. He has no experience in this area, so it doesn't hurt to ask more.
"No, I'll prepare it for you." Zoltan looked confident.
Ren felt relieved. Zoltan had planned for so many years. He was a dwarf. This time he entered the underground fortress of the dwarf. It was like going back to his own home.
He did not speak any more and returned to Wei Ge Manor.
That night, Renn told Viola about the incident. She was very surprised but had no objection, and wanted to give Renn her space necklace to him.
Renn immediately refused.
This spatial necklace is the most precious thing left by Viola's parents. Most of her wealth is in it. Without the necklace, her strength must be at least reduced by half. If someone tries to mislead her during this period, it will be too dangerous. Up.
Ren didn't want to put Viola in danger because of himself.
Entering the underground fortress this time, along with Roger, the legendary demon hunter, is safe and there is no need to bring a space necklace.
He only accepted some potions given by Viola, but refused everything else.
The next day, Rennes arrived at the Basil Hotel early in the morning.
In the mechanical workshop, Roger stood at the door of the secret room, looking at the rune circle on the ground inside.
"Master Roger." Ren said hello.
"Yeah." Roger responded lightly.
Ren found that the demon hunter’s complexion was much better than before. There were no dark circles under his eyes, and the cat-like eyes were also particularly energetic. He had two cross swords behind his back, wearing a strong leather lock armor, and he was tall and straight. Showing a strong breath.
"Why haven't you seen Lord Teresa recently?" he asked.
"Dreelsa hasn't been here since I killed the Shadow Blade Killer last time." Roger's tone was a little bit resentful.
"Uh..." Ryan didn't know how to comfort him, and thought to himself, it's no wonder that Roger's complexion has improved.
At this time Zoltan came in from outside, he confessed everything about the hotel, did not say where he was going, only said to leave for a few days.
Closing the entrance of the mechanical workshop, pulling out a big box from the corner, Zoltan began to fully armed.
First put on a set of gray-silver rune armor, then a heavy double-edged battle axe, two soul guns, five or six rounds of belts wrapped around the waist, and a half-person-height metal box on the back, filled with There are all kinds of things, including dozens of various tools, big bags of compressed dry food, alchemy water sticks used to fetch water, etc. There are also many messy things. I don't know what they are used for. It is a treasure chest.
The most eye-catching is a book as thick as a brick, tied with an iron chain to the spine of the book, and hung diagonally around Zoltan's waist.
Noting Ren's gaze, Zoltan patted the book vigorously, making a bang, and said: "This is an ancient book from the Ironbeard clan, which records a lot of the contents of the Ironbeard underground fortress. There is a brief map. Whether we can gain this time or not depends on it."
Ren nodded, opened the mobile library and found that the book appeared on the list, so he immediately downloaded it.
Turning over the pages of the book in the interface, they are all written in dwarf text, which is unreadable.
However, the dozen or so maps are very simple, from top to bottom, divided into many layers, and each layer is marked with several key points.
"Okay, let's go in." Zoltan took the lead and stepped into the rune circle.
Ren checked his shotgun and bullets, took out the Icecrusher Warhammer from the dragon skin harness, and stood on the circle.
Only Roger was still outside the door, his face tangled.
Ryan chuckled. He had already discovered that Roger had teleportation phobia, and he dared not touch all teleportation-related magic easily.
Zoltan was also very clear about this. The two looked at Roger and did not rush him.
Roger murmured a few times, and finally bit his head, as if he was on the execution ground, slowly walking into the range of the rune circle.
Zoltan put on a pair of mechanical glasses that looked like goggles, which inspired the incidental dark vision.
A curse came from his mouth.
The entire rune array immediately lit up and vibrated slightly for a few seconds. The air was filled with faint magical energy, and the space in front of him was gradually distorted, turning around, as if falling into a huge vortex, weightless all over, making people panic.
This feeling lasted for a short time.
In the blink of an eye, Ren found that he was no longer in the secret room.
The powerful effect of the will of truth made him feel no discomfort during the transmission. He glanced around and found that there was no light source, but under the dual effects of the eyes of the soul and the will of truth, the darkness did not form any obstacles.
What I saw before my eyes was a huge cave.
No matter which direction you look in, you will eventually be blocked by a stone wall. Above it is a dome more than 30 meters high, supported by huge square stone pillars. Under the pillars, stone houses are endless, forming a large building. group.
These stone houses are high or low, some are dug out of the walls, some stand on the ground, and there are a large number of stone steps, squares, and statues, all of which are magnificent and have a strong dwarf style.
Although thousands of years have passed, most of the buildings are still intact, with only a small amount of collapse, covered with a thick layer of dust everywhere.
The entire crypt is deadly silence.
There was no sound in Ren's Voice of Everything, but the air in his breath was normal, not as dull as imagined, and there was a slight flow.
This discovery made him feel slightly relaxed, and the air can flow, which means there is an exit.
"We are here!"
Zoltan watched vigilantly for a few seconds first, but he didn't find any danger, so he couldn't help calling out with joy.
Roger next to him held his forehead and shook his forehead violently. He didn't seem to recover from the vertigo caused by the teleportation. His eyes were confused and his face turned pale.
"Where is this?" Renn asked.
They were in a small square paved with whole stones, the surrounding area was very empty, and the rune array on the ground was not obvious.
"I'll take a look." Zoltan opened the ancient book around his waist. The pages of the book were made of sheet metal. When they were turned, they made a crisp sound.
"According to the book's records, the entrances of the five rune arrays are distributed in different positions in the fortress, from the first to the fifth floor, one on each floor."
"This is a residential area, most likely the second or third floor."
Ren also retrieved information about the Dwarf Fortress on his phone.
Whether it is the world mountain range, the birthplace of the dwarves, or the regions outside the world mountain range, the underground fortresses of the dwarves have similar overall structure and layout.
A dwarf fortress, from top to bottom, is generally divided into ten floors.
The first layer on the top is the defense line against foreign invasions. Usually, heavy troops are deployed. The entire floor is composed of barracks and sentry towers, guarding the various passages down, and building armory and fortresses. The overall area is not very large.
From the second floor to the fifth floor, it is the main living area of ​​the dwarves. Kings, clan elders, and common people live in these four floors. All the facilities related to life~EbookFREE.me~ Throne, Temple , Bars and markets are concentrated on these four floors.
The sixth floor is a farm for growing mushrooms, as well as factories and furnaces.
The seventh to ninth floors are the treasure house in the fortress, which contains a large number of relics. It is also the tomb of the dwarves and the most important mine for the dwarves.
The tenth floor is the bottom floor. Basically there will be several underground rivers. As water sources, there may also be enemies entering the fortress from the underground rivers. The terrain is complex and chaotic.
Zoltan quickly recognized it.
"This is the third floor. We are going to the fourth floor. There is the Moradin Temple, most likely to store rune techniques."
Renn asked, "Which way to go?"
This crypt has several exits, leading in different directions.
"I don't know, I can only search while walking." Zoltan scratched his scalp. This is a fortress built thousands of years ago, like a huge underground maze, even dwarves can easily get lost.
The three of them chose a direction randomly along the wide road.
Walking on the road, looking at the tall and magnificent buildings on both sides, Rennes felt a sense of insignificance. He couldn't help thinking, dwarves are obviously not tall, why do they like to make houses so big?
After a while, the three of them passed through a carved stone passage and entered another crypt.
The terrain of this cave is deeper, standing at the exit of the passage, you can see the whole picture.
Ren's gaze swept across the scene in the cave, and suddenly he saw something that was obviously not a dwarf, his face changed slightly, and he reminded in a low voice:
"Someone has been here!"
