Chapter 96: Three roads

"Shrine ... At that time I had some problems with the high priest." Said the King.
Xiao Chen understood what he meant. The king deliberately did not remind the temple. He even wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. "But what happened later is not what you expected?"
"Yes. The high priest entered, and entered more than once, but came out safely every time." The king said, "I began to wonder, maybe the monster has left? Or it just stayed in the royal family. On that path? So the temple people did n’t actually touch it? "
"After entering the remains of God, are the roads separated?" Xiao Chen asked.
"To enter the ruins of God, there are three paths. This was a rule made by several saints in the early days of the dwarf kingdom. They transformed the ruins of God and divided it into three parts, allowing only three people to enter. A road belongs to the royal family. It must have the blood of the royal family to enter. Finally, it will lead to the treasure room and the material warehouse. The dwarves without the royal blood cannot pass this road, because there are several teleportation arrays in the middle, which only transmit A person with royal blood. The second path belongs to the temple. You must have the status of the high priest of the temple to enter. However, the requirements of this path are relatively loose. As long as the high priest himself is present, he can bring other people into this temple. The passage. But there is nothing too valuable on this road, and it will eventually lead to the hall where the forging used to grant forging knowledge to the dwarves, but the hall has collapsed, and what is left there is only an altar. Used by the priests of the temple to pray and sacrifice.
The third item belongs to the big forging master. People who enter must pass the test of the big forging master in the form of a team to be transported into it, and the place to go to is the forging tower you are looking for.
The different areas that the three different roads lead to are isolated from each other, and there are large mountains in the mist that are always in the middle. No one has crossed these mountains except those saints. So I guessed at the time, maybe that monster didn't have the ability to move between different areas. "
"I remember you went to the ruins of God again." Ansaldo said.
"Well, many years later, when I felt prepared, I entered the remains of God again. At that time, I took my two nephews Klopp and Marek, the two of whom were the most powerful in the royal family. Strong warrior. "
"Klopp and Marek, known as the most profitable axe and the strongest wall?" Ansaldo froze.
The king snorted: "I know that in many rumors, they are said to have been murdered by me. That is all base speculation and gossip. The most common king is the kind of mouse hiding in the shadows. No, Klopp and Marek are two of the kingdom's most loyal warriors, and are geniuses who may reach the level of the Holy One in their lifetime. How can I break my arms? At that time, I put two holy items: Split Mountain Both the axe and the water-breaking shield were given to them, and their fighting power at that time had reached the level of the Holy One.
I also brought with me the Assassin, the royal magician who was best at fighting at the time. All four of us got the best equipment, carried the fruits of destruction from the Black Dragon Empire, and prepared a teleportation reel. Once there was a problem, we would immediately leave there by teleportation.
auzw.com When we first entered the ruins of God, the atmosphere was not the same as the last time. When we came to the place where we encountered danger before, the monster did not appear, and we searched the entire treasure trove. No trace of it was found, I thought it really left, so the high priest could safely enter and leave the ruins so many times. We started to use the storage ring to load the needed supplies, but just as we finished the mission and prepared to return, the monster attacked us before the teleportation array.
This time we made a lot of preparations, and the three masters are also much stronger than the one who came with me last time. We even hit the monster with the fruit of destruction, but it made Klopp crazy in the end. They The two brothers died together and let the monster win. Only I escaped to the teleportation circle with the help of an absolute defense ring. "
"It seems that there was a violent explosion in the forging workshop, and Klopp killed the three of them at the same time. It was just a cover-up." Ansaldo puzzled. "But, unlike the first time, your status has been Is it solid? Why did n’t you announce the news? "
The king looked down at the ground for a long time and said, "Because the monster once said that he wanted me to die because the dwarf didn't need a king, he only needed the rule of the forging god. He wanted to replace me and rule the dwarf kingdom directly. ,do you understand?"
"But there are still many people who will support you," Ansaldo said.
"I have a hard time anticipating other people's ideas. If there is such a self-proclaimed of forging, if it is known by many people, will anyone hope that he really becomes a of forging, and then depose the royal family and turn the dwarf kingdom into a What about a kingdom ruled by theocracy? I dare not gamble, this is too dangerous, but the other option is very simple, completely seal the road of the royal relics of the gods. Later, for the sake of insurance, I put the trial path of the big forge master Closed too. "
"But now you have no way to seal the passageway on the side of the temple." Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, but all I need is time to train and recruit the right masters, and be prepared to fight this monster again. For many years, the priests who entered the temple had no problem praying. I was lucky Hopefully this will continue until I am ready.
It was not until later that I knew that the high priest was connected with the monster. I don't know which time to start, the high priest encountered that thing. It did not kill them all as they did against the royal family. Instead, he chose to control him. The King recalled. "Maybe it is not in full control, but it must have affected him." It's a pity that I didn't know it at the time, but when I knew it later, it was already too late. "
"How did you find out?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I have seen the power of the red mist twice, and it is very sensitive to its breath. I felt that breath on the high priest who forged the temple two years ago."
"So you knew it already." Ansaldo asked.
"But knowing that I can only hide this secret," the king shook his head. "You should be clear about the status of the forging temple in the minds of the dwarves. Even I dare not easily oppose them. If the high priest declares that the forging is not Recognize my throne and take over the dwarf kingdom by yourself, what will happen? What do you think those aristocratic nobles will think? What will those fools who regard the forging as the supreme faith? "
