Chapter 450 Forge Castle

Surprised, Lei Xiao began to observe carefully.

I saw these soldiers in heavy armor, only about 1.3 meters tall, holding extremely heavy war hammers and battle axes in their hands.

Compared with ordinary humans, although the strange soldiers were short in stature, each of them was extremely burly, giving people a very heavy sense of oppression.

Although Lei Xiao couldn't see the faces of these soldiers due to the cover of the fully enclosed standard battle helmets, he could clearly feel them.

The hundreds of short soldiers in front of them are all above the level of the third-tier senior strongman. The heavy armor and weapons on their bodies are also colorful and dazzling.

"Squadron-scale soldiers with full fourth-tier equipment? This is undoubtedly the most advanced configuration I have seen so far. It seems that they are just a group of ordinary gatekeepers. The fighting power of a strange city is obviously extremely terrifying."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and while continuing to wait and see, he couldn't believe it in his heart: "I didn't expect that inside this gate of immortality, there is a complete city that is running..."

While Lei Xiao was thinking to himself, among the soldiers who came suddenly, the commander in charge took a step forward, lifted the visor on the closed helmet, and shouted in a deep voice: "Unidentified intruder, hurry up!" Leave! This is not a place for you to set foot!"

The commander's voice became a little more high-pitched, and he said coldly: "You have stepped into the great Furnace Castle without permission. As the city gate guard, I warn you, If you take another step forward, what awaits you will be endless anger and a fatal blow."

Looking at the other party's face after lifting the mask, Lei Xiao had a look of sudden realization.

Thick and stiff brown beards like iron wire, coupled with the iconic big nose, these soldiers and the race of the city are already self-evident.

"Is this the legendary dwarves?"

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Before this, I have heard many times about this famous race that is as famous as the elves. It can be said to be extremely powerful, far from being comparable to the human race."

"At the same time, I have also learned that many remains of the dwarves have indeed been found underground in many areas of the Cold Flame Kingdom, indicating that this was once the range of activities of the dwarves."

"But after the end of the blank age, the dwarves should have been far away from the borders around the human kingdoms. How could there be such a large and magnificent city in the old mine of Songlin City?"

Looking at the dwarf city guard exuding a mighty Tier 5 aura, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"If my predictions are correct, there should be only one answer..."

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw that the powerhouses of the mysterious organization surrounded by groups did not make any response.

Instead, under the leadership of No. 7 black-robed man and No. 9 black-robed man, they walked directly towards the fifth-rank dwarf city guard, as if the other party did not exist at all.

The moment when the No. 7 black-robed man and No. 9 black-robed man who took the lead, and the majestic dwarf city guard were about to collide.

The opponent turned into tiny energy particles directly, and soon disappeared completely.

"Hey, such a low-level illusion still wants to confuse me? It's just ridiculous."

The stooped No. 9 man in black snorted coldly, and said to the powerhouses of other mysterious organizations: "The eye of this illusion should be nearby, find it quickly, and then I will crack it myself. It's a boring little trick, and it delayed the progress of my mission!"

"Decree! Lord Ninth Shura!"

All the powerful members of the mysterious organization bowed together, and then rushed into the gate of immortality in a flash.

The No. 7 black-robed man and No. 9 black-robed man looked at each other and walked slowly into it.

At this point, in front of the spacious Immortal Gate, only the dwarf soldiers who were still surrounded were left standing there motionless.

"Is it really an illusion?"

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who already had an answer in his heart just now, nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, this is indeed a simple illusion that can only confuse, including these soldiers and the prosperous city scene inside the gate."

I saw Hong Ye raised her eyebrows, and said softly: "For a race like the dwarves who are not good at magic, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level and maintain it for three thousand years."

"So, is this dwarf city called Furnace Castle also destroyed in the blank age?"

Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the ancient air, and said slowly, "Let's go up and have a look."

"Obey! Your lord!"

The subordinates who were ready to go immediately lined up for exploration and said in unison.

In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao, who was still sitting on the Tiger Zhang, bypassed the phantom dwarf soldiers, and stood in front of the Immortal Gate.

Since the illusion inside the door has not yet been broken, what Lei Xiao sees is an extremely prosperous underground city scene.

At the nearest point to Lei Xiao, there is a majestic bridge spanning the trickling underground river.

On both sides of the thick and spacious giant bridge, there are neatly arranged street lamps flickering, each of which is inlaid with a large number of light crystals.

Reflected by the light spar, a mining vehicle loaded with unknown minerals, along the long track, marched continuously and orderly, making a "thump, thump, thump" sound.

And under the bridge, among the rippling water, the light from the street lamps is completely reflected by the dark blue river, just like a demure night dotted with stars.

At the two ends of the bridge, there are two small fortresses standing on each side. There are many people on them, banners and arrow towers. From time to time, there are groups of dwarf soldiers patrolling past, and the defense is extremely strict.

"It seems that this giant bridge is equivalent to the city wall of the underground city."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and thought to himself, "Although it's just an illusion, I can still vaguely feel the prosperity of that year and the awe-inspiring spirit of the soldiers."

Then, Lei Xiao's gaze moved up slightly, looking further away.

Behind the huge bridge is an extremely large underground plaza.

On the square, a large number of street lights also inlaid with light crystals flickered, reflecting the flat stone road, stone benches, exquisite fountains of different sizes, and even a steaming food street at the edge.

In the very center of the square, there are more than a dozen burly statues of dwarf warriors.

Around each statue, there are a large number of dwarven civilians scattered. Judging from their expressions, they are all very comfortable and relaxed.

Further back is the main city of this underground city.

It can be vaguely seen that the bustling blocks and neatly arranged residential areas are arranged in a patchwork order, and the lights are bright everywhere, which is a prosperous and magnificent scene.

"As expected of the dwarves... This shocking spectacle, even if compared to the bustling and bustling Fanyin City on the ground, is nothing more than a horse compared to a unicorn."

Looking at the dizzyingly huge underground city in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart.

"What's even more shocking is that this is a huge city built underground. It's simply unimaginable. It takes a lot of engineering work to reach such an astonishing scale."

While being amazed, Lei Xiao continued to look into the depths of the city.

At the end of the city, there stood a quaint castle that was still extremely huge.

The surface of the castle is covered with a large number of chimneys of various shapes, and thick black smoke is constantly emitting out, and most of the windows are shining with dazzling lights.

Right above the castle, there is also an extremely huge khaki magic circle hovering.

Just like a super-large exhaust fan, it introduced a large amount of thick smoke into the holes above the city, which seemed to be the city's vents.

"It's interesting. The whole castle feels like a large heavy factory."

Looking at the wonderful scene at the end of the city, Lei Xiao nodded with great interest.

"My lord, that quaint castle is obviously a forging base of the dwarves."

A rough voice sounded, and I saw the knotweed stick firmly supporting Lei Xiao and said: "As we all know, the dwarves' forging skills are extremely superb, and they are famous throughout the continent."

"This has brought innumerable benefits to the dwarves, making the status of the top blacksmith even second only to the royal family, and becoming a respected master blacksmith has become the dream pursued by countless dwarves all their lives. "

Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang continued to introduce: "Therefore, it is not uncommon to have such a large-scale forging site in a dwarf city."

"Understood, remember that this city is called Furnace Castle, in other words, does the whole castle look like a huge forging furnace? From this point of view, the description is quite appropriate."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and murmured in his heart: "Judging from the fourth-level equipment of all the staff just now, the forging level of this dwarf city must be very heaven-defying."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he listened intently.

In addition to the noisy market sounds in the city, he could even hear the crisp sound of forging and boiling quenching coming from the end of the city.

At this moment, everything came to an abrupt end.

The entire city directly in front of it was completely dark as if the electricity had suddenly stopped, and the phantoms of the surrounding dwarf soldiers also completely disappeared.

With the help of the night vision effect of the pupil of the star, Lei Xiao looked intently again.

The prosperous scene in front of him is already a mess.

The bridge at the entrance was broken into several sections and fell into the already dry underground riverbed.

And that bustling square, together with the entire bustling main city area of ​​the city, completely disappeared, leaving only a huge mottled crater, as if hit by a meteorite.

As for the end of the city, due to the limited night vision effect, Lei Xiao could only vaguely see a low, dark ruin that had replaced the brightly lit giant castle.

Because the changes in the two city scenes before and after were too abrupt and thorough, Lei Xiao was stunned for a while, as if he had traveled through another world.

"My lord, the illusion has been broken by the group of strong men from the mysterious organization."

Hong Ye's crisp voice rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.

"The hands and feet of those guys are quite nimble."

Lei Xiao took another deep breath of the vicissitudes and simplicity of the air, and asked the dragon woman: "Hong Ye, where is she now?"

"Returning to Lord Lord, after the illusion was broken, the other party's party of eleven people galloped straight towards the ancient castle at the end of the city."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye responded sassyly: "The other party seems to be looking for something purposefully."

"Understood, we can't fall behind, let's keep up with each other's pace."

Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates, then lightly patted the arm of Hu Zhang, signaling it to start moving forward.

Follow the potholes, the ruins of the ancient city of the dwarves that have almost disappeared, all the way forward.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his group of five, who followed the opponent's footsteps, to arrive near the low ruins at the end of the city.

Since the other party was holding a light spar in their hands, while Lei Xiao and the others were advancing in secret, the process was very smooth.

"I didn't expect that magnificent and simple castle to look like this now."

Looking at a low ruin not far away, Lei Xiao, who was standing behind a dirt slope, couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao's gaze fell on a group of powerful members of the mysterious organization.

I saw these black-robed people lined up in a horizontal line and moved forward like a net, and they were indeed looking for something.

Along with the detection magic scrolls being continuously activated, dazzling magic circles lit up around the people in black robes, slowly spinning in mid-air.

As for the No. 9 black-robed man in the center, on the stave like a dead wood, there is also a black magic circle flickering, obviously also searching.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao waved his hands, indicating that Nanxing and Nanyue sisters were hiding on both sides of the ruins, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

When the two left, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted, and then fell on the desolate ruins around him, his mind full of thoughts.

The scale of this dwarven underground city was larger than any human city I had ever seen, and what almost completely destroyed the entire city was obviously a terrifying spell of unknown class.

"Although I don't know what level this terrible destruction spell is, what is certain is that it is undoubtedly far beyond the category of a fifth-level powerhouse."

"And from the dwarf squadron guarding the gate, it can be seen that the overall strength of this dwarf city has reached an extremely terrifying height, but even so, it is still so completely destroyed."

Lei Xiao thought of the fifth-rank dwarf gatekeeper, and took another deep breath.

"It is not difficult to see from this that, just like the other ancient ruins I explored before, in that unknown blank age, the dwarves obviously encountered extremely powerful enemies."

"Also, the enemy's methods are very vicious, and the purpose is to destroy everything."

Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, there was a sudden commotion among the powerhouses of the mysterious organization who were searching not far away.
