Chapter 76: Underground entrance

Bobeni had no secrets for Ansaldo. Two hours later, Xiao Chen received the information in the Huojing family's mansion.
"These are the messengers of the dark tide city of the southern city-state." Ansaldo relayed the news to Xiao Chen. "They arrived here two days earlier than us, so I didn't notice their situation."
"Do people in the southern city-state often visit the dwarf kingdom?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No, it's rare. But Dark Tide City is an exception, because their lord has a little dwarf blood. So it's a city state that has a close relationship with the dwarf kingdom. This city state even hired dwarf mercenaries when it was critical. Ansaldo said.
"So what are they doing this time?"
"It is said that they want to develop an island off the sea with the Dwarf Kingdom. They contacted the Black Rock family of the six families. So the specific content is not easy to hear. But in this way, they are also likely to go to Wangdu. , Meet the king, "Ansaldo said, stroking his beard." They will probably get permission from us in about the same time as us. "
"This thing has a strange smell," Luo Ling said.
Xiao Chen also nodded in agreement: "It is at this time, and there are also humans preparing to go to the dwarf kingdom. This is a must."
"Is that island newly discovered?" Luo Ling asked Ansaldo.
"It doesn't seem to have been under the control of the Dark Tide City, but recently it is preparing to develop with the Dwarf Kingdom as a transit station for ships." Ansaldo gently grabbed his beard twice, "but, you It ’s really strange to say this. The dark tide city ’s route is very easy. It seems that this island is not necessary as a transit. Is this just an excuse? Those who come over have other purposes? "
"Will we have the same purpose as us? It's also toward the forging tower." Luo Ling asked.
"Aren't they the gods of the Temple of Nature?" Xiao Chen guessed. He stood up and walked two steps, "It seems necessary to meet these people."
Ansaldo anxiously said: "You don't want to fight in this city, right? That will definitely cause big trouble. Listen, the Black Rock family is very powerful here. If you provoke their guests, maybe It will affect your permission to enter the city. "
Xiao Chen comforted: "Your Excellency, don't be nervous. All you have to do is to check their specific information, and we will meet with you later. There is nothing more important than seeing the high priest, and we will not act lightly."
"That would be better," Ansaldo said.
In the following days, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling tried to explore the situation of those people more than once. However, these people have been hiding in the house of the Heiyan family since they discovered Xiao Chen and his party, and have never appeared again. The Black Rock family's defense is also very strict, and various defense and detection circles are arranged around the house where they live. Xiao Chen found that he could not observe them secretly without tearing his face. So he had to stop.
auzw.com Ansaldo heard another news, that this team from Dark Tide City has six people, it seems that each is a master, and there are more than one master.

Three days later, Ansaldo obtained permission from the Tower of China to enter the dwarf king capital. He also received news that the members of the Black Rock family also obtained permission to allow them to lead those in the Dark Tide City to the capital. And as soon as those people got the news, they went deep underground.
Ansaldo said: "They seem to have deliberately grabbed the front departure. I heard that they only took an hour or two from getting permission to starting underground. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. It is now past to go down from them. It's been three hours. I'm afraid it will be difficult if we want to chase them. "
Xiao Chen said: "Whether they are fighting for opportunities or avoiding us, it means that they have ghosts in their hearts. Let's start now. Since we have already met, we will stare at them, and there will always be times when they show their feet. "
Xiao Chen didn't bring the two dwarves around him with them. Instead, they picked a row of elves. These people have a beard, and after being re-pierced, they can be dressed as ordinary soldiers in the dwarf kingdom. They will be mixed in Ansaldo's team and head to Wangdu with Xiao Chen. The remaining dwarf warriors are stationed in Bobeni, ready to respond at any time. When necessary, they will forcefully seize the entrance into the underground to ensure that those who follow Xiao Chen have a safe retreat.
The underground entrance is located at the north of the city of Bobeni. It is the foot of a mountain range. Below the foot of the mountain is a huge cave formed naturally. Later, after the expansion of the dwarves, it became a 40-meter wide and more than 10 meters high Big mouth.
Although Xiao Chen has seen many caves, tunnels and tunnels in that world. But when I saw this entrance, I still felt quite spectacular.
The entrance is like the mouth of a monster, lying on the ground, waiting for others to enter, and the pillars and stalagmites above and below are like the fangs of the monster.
There are some differences from Xiao Chen's expectations. There is no strong guard at the entrance. There are only dozens of dwarf guards standing lazily around the entrance with long contradictory cards. It seems that there have been no troubles here for many years.
In the surrounding scene of a bustling scene, dwarf convoys continue to pass through the mouth from top to bottom or from bottom to top.
Only when these humans and elves at Xiao Chen reached the entrance, there was a goalkeeper who came with a team of ten soldiers to check their permits.
But after all Ansaldo is the governor of a large city and an important member of a large family. The goalkeeper saw him with a courteous look and a flattering attitude, and did not put too much thought on Xiao Chen and others.
They did not search the luggage carried by a group of people. They just read the permit lightly and let them go.
The entrance approached a few tens of meters and branched into several tunnels that went deeper. The wide road is more than ten meters wide, which is about wider than the two lanes on the earth. The narrow road is only about half of it.
"These roads are all roads leading to the underground cities of the kingdom." Ansaldo pointed to the widest one of them: "This is the road leading to the king capital. This kind of road has to pass by cars, so you humans It's not difficult to move on. But the branches below branch off, so this is not what you can get into.
We should be able to reach Wangdu by walking along this road for a long time. "
