Chapter 1287 A Surprising Sight

The entrance to this underground tunnel is quite peculiar. It seems to be only about two and a half meters high, but it is about fifty meters wide. It is flat and rectangular in shape, just like an enlarged mailbox mouth.

Regarding this weird design, Lei Xiao saw the clues at a glance. It was obviously laid out in this way to prevent the dragon from forcefully entering.

At the entrance of the tunnel, there are still rows of alchemy puppet guards standing in succession. Each one is tall and tall, exuding a faint aura of vastness.

These alchemy puppets are covered in heavy black armor and look like stone structures. Their shapes are very similar to the alchemy puppet legion soldiers obtained by the Earth Guardian and Lei Xiao.

This is no wonder, after all, both the Guardian Defense Agency and the Alchemy Puppet Legion Soldiers were made by the ancient dwarves. It is not surprising that the two are of the same origin.

In addition, the entrance of the passage is still shining with a rich magical light, and it is obviously protected by an absolute defensive barrier.

"Is the guard at the door just a squadron-sized fifth-level alchemy puppet? This easily surpasses all the high-level alchemy puppets created by human alchemists in the past three thousand years!"

A flash of surprise flashed across Yoniel's old eyes, and he mused: "And from a technical point of view, it is obviously better than the strongest alchemy puppet of the human race. The forces from the outside world are indeed extraordinary!"

"That's not all, old man."

The gray old man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deep into the entrance of the passage.

The sound of heavy footsteps was faintly heard, and a group of soldiers were striding towards the entrance, and a shocking turbulent force was also surged out.

As the footsteps became clearer, Lei Xiao noticed.

I saw the short figure walking at the front wearing a robe. Judging from the outline of his body, he was exactly the same as Cornette who had just guided us here.

"Different from the shadow illusion just now, it seems that this is the true identity of the dwarf patrol officer."

Lei Xiao thought about this and looked towards the short shadow phantom who was leading the way at the front of the team.

Sure enough, the shadow illusion had disappeared, and only three shadow dragons were still standing around our team.

As the other party got closer, Lei Xiao noticed further.

I saw that the leader of the dwarf was a middle-aged man, with a faint smile on his resolute face, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Vader's.

It's no wonder that for Lei Xiao, the emperor of the human race, the dwarfs do all look similar.

"Your Majesty the human race, we meet again."

Different from the hoarseness of the illusion just now, Cornet's real voice is much clearer, but the timbre and tone have not changed in any way.

"Thank you, Patrol Officer, for your guidance."

Lei Xiao also maintained a smile and nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty the Human Race, I have already communicated with my king. Although the humans who visited last time were extremely rude, the Dwarf Kingdom still welcomes the arrival of His Majesty and his entourage."

After Cornette said this, the two groups standing behind him immediately lined up quickly to the left and right sides, forming a welcoming formation.

Looking closely, Lei Xiao found that these figures were quite special. They were all a combination of one tall and one short.

Needless to say, the short ones are naturally dwarf soldiers, while the tall ones who follow them are alchemy puppets, just like soldiers holding giant military dogs.

As for strength, Cornet himself is at the fifth level, the dwarf soldiers are all at the fourth level, and the equipment levels are all at the fifth level.

And those alchemy puppets that follow them are powerful, like towering mountains. They have all reached the sixth level obviously, and they are the size of a small team. This is the source of the surging momentum just now.

"It is indeed an external force. These alone are enough to make the human world tremble."

Seeing this uncoordinated scene, Lei Xiao sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm.

As we all know, the dwarves' own cultivation talents are relatively limited. They do not have the affinity for magic of the elves, nor the strong physique of the dwarves. Due to their special physiques, even refining magic potions will be difficult to achieve the expected results, and even far less. The potential of the human race.

However, the lifespan and flexible mind that are comparable to half-elves still allow the dwarves to occupy a place in the outer world.

In order to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, the dwarves have developed a completely different route from most races. Compared with cultivating themselves, they are better at using powerful technology to improve their strength, such as the unique combination of steam engines and magic. Technology, and in-depth research on alchemical puppets.

"It is precisely because of their limited strength that the dwarves have developed this unique technology tree. It is not surprising that such a strange combination of guards appears. After all, one person only controls one alchemy puppet. What he can do Strength will also be maximized.”

After smoothing everything out in his mind, Lei Xiao continued to observe calmly.

However, compared to commander alchemy puppets such as John who have added command modules, they can be intelligent to a certain extent. Although these alchemy puppets are stronger, they are not intelligent.

It is not difficult to see from this that after experiencing the blank era, the technological level of the dwarves has also experienced gaps, making the current dwarfs far inferior to the ancient dwarves.

"Even so, if we can fully integrate the current dwarf technology into the human world with the efforts of the lords and talents, coupled with such outstanding alchemy puppet technology, the strength of the human world will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"As for the lost ancient dwarf technology, once we can successfully establish cooperation, I believe there will be a breakthrough soon."

"So, no matter from which aspect, becoming an ally with the dwarfs is a very critical thing. As long as the human race becomes stronger, it will be a piece of cake to conquer the dwarfs, just like the Iron Hand Islands."

"Of course, the premise is that everything can go smoothly."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Cornet on the opposite side had already opened a piece of the absolute defense barrier, paving the way for our group to move forward.

"Thank you for your guidance."

Lei Xiao nodded to Cornet and then took his own steps.

Seeing Lei Xiao take a step, the other strong men of our side also followed him like a shadow, not daring to be negligent. Everyone clearly understood that this step of His Majesty the Emperor would directly determine the future of the entire human race.

After passing the welcome queue, our group walked towards the depths of the tunnel under Cornet's further guidance.

It is worth mentioning that although this place is a distance away from the starting point, Bingshi City, the range of activities of Bing Lao has been greatly improved after the energy-gathering array of Bingshi City was further repaired, so he still guarded Lei Xiao.

With four sixth-level combat forces sitting in, plus a series of trump cards on his body, Lei Xiao is also much more confident.

The footsteps of the group of people were stirring back and forth in the empty and bright tunnel. This tunnel is not a straight line, but a winding one. Sometimes there are stairs connecting downwards, sometimes magic streamers flash on the walls, and even movable cave walls, which make way under the command of Cornet.

It is not difficult to see from this that the dwarfs obviously spent a lot of effort to prevent the dragons from attacking here or being attacked by dragon breath.

After all, although the dragons cannot come in with their normal body shape, Hongsike has also appeared in the form of humans, which means that there may be other red dragons with the same ability.

As the footsteps of the group went deeper, the originally empty tunnel scene around them became more and more lively.

There are many dwarf barracks embedded in the walls on both sides, and teams of dwarf soldiers are patrolling.

However, compared with the dwarf soldiers brought by Cornet, the strength of these dwarfs is obviously much weaker. The alchemical puppets they carry are also between level 4 and level 5, and most of their equipment is level 4.

"It seems that Cornet brought the elite combat power of the dwarfs, but even these ordinary dwarf soldiers are enough to easily match the most elite soldiers in the human world."

Lei Xiao observed calmly and nodded thoughtfully.

This is just the surface that he saw. I am afraid that the dwarfs must have hidden other trump cards and elite combat power.

After all, it can be seen from the description of the manager that although the dwarfs suffered a disastrous defeat, they were still able to compete with the huge dragon group at the beginning.

While pondering, Lei Xiao also keenly noticed another point that was quite helpless.

That is, despite being very obscure, the dwarf soldiers along the way did not look very welcoming to us, which was obviously the result of the previous mysterious human visitors.

"I'm really curious about what kind of people they are."

Lei Xiao turned his eyes away from the dwarf soldiers holding helmets and smiled helplessly.

At the same time, Lei Xiao also further realized that Cornet's identity seemed to be more than just an ordinary patrol officer, which can be seen from the respectful attitude of the dwarf soldiers along the way.

Under the silent gaze of the dwarf soldiers, when Lei Xiao and his party came to the end of the tunnel through a downward staircase, the scene in front of them finally became clear.

"This is...?"

Lei Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

What came into view was not the dark underground area imagined, but the bright sunshine, floating clouds, and birds and flowers everywhere.

Under the reflection of two suns overhead, a huge and well-planned strange city appeared in front of everyone. On the outskirts of the city, there were endless forests and rivers, with no end in sight.

Because the light was too strong, even the group of people who had just walked out of the passage seemed to have come to another world.

"Lord, this is a scene illusion that combines sky illusion and mirror illusion, making the originally dark tunnel look like the outside world."

In amazement, Erza patted her chest and saluted to Lei Xiao, saying: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time I have seen such a sophisticated magic."

"Miss Dark Elf, you are too kind. This is just the result of the efforts of the dwarf elves. It's no big deal."

Cornet smiled slightly, then nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, my king is waiting for you in the palace."

After that, Cornet quickly guided us into the dwarf elf city.

Walking into the strange city, Lei Xiao's eyes sparkled again.

Most of the buildings here are rare metal structures, with gears of all sizes everywhere, and sometimes the roar of steam engines can be heard one after another, which has a steampunk flavor.

In the center of the main road, there is even a rail-mounted metal train that whistles like a train and shuttles through, and then stops in front of the platform at the other end.

"It is worthy of being the force that invented the space train."

Lei Xiao looked at the dwarf residents queuing up to get on the train not far away, and the metal train chimney that was emitting white smoke, and his surprise became more and more obvious.

It must be said that this is already very close to the scene of the Blue Star Steam Age.

Of course, in the dwarf elves' technological system, this is called magic energy.

It is a special energy generated by the magic energy boiler. Not only can it consume ordinary resources such as ore as fuel, but even weapons and equipment can be used as fuel, and the higher the level, the more abundant the energy generated.

"It seems that His Majesty the Human Race is quite interested in the magic energy train."

Cornet obviously noticed Lei Xiao's surprise and smiled: "After the last improvement of the magic energy boiler, the exhaust gas generated during the conversion process will be completely converted into normal energy particles under the blessing of the purification array in the chimney. It only needs to purify the array eye stone in the array faster at a fixed time."

"It's really an amazing achievement."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and retracted his gaze.

The medium and large cities of the human race are also very vast. If such a complete transportation system can be established in the city, it will undoubtedly promote the development of the human world to a great extent.

Not only that, if the railway can be laid throughout the human world, it will also be a great achievement.

Although the transportation capacity of the human race has reached its peak under the blessing of the Lord's Network, it is limited to the transportation of goods, and only between terminals. There is still a distance in the middle. In this way, the efficiency of this distance can be maximized.

With faster efficiency and more manpower saved, more resources can naturally be invested in preparations for the future. Many benefits are self-evident.

Lei Xiao thought so, and then he went to the city center under the introduction of Cornet.

Although the train is extremely convenient for ordinary residents, for Lei Xiao and his party, who are extraordinary in strength, they can naturally surpass it in speed.

Not long after, under the guidance of Cornet, our party has arrived in front of a huge and imposing metal building.

This is a metal castle, which is also covered with rotating gears, bearings and springs, which looks very distinctive.

"Your Majesty, this is the palace of our king."

Cornet nodded to Lei Xiao, lowered his head again and made a "please" gesture, smiling and saying, "Please come this way, our king has been waiting for a long time."
