Chapter 212 The Dwarves Build the City Ahead of Time and Kidnap the Rune Craftsmen

In the deep night.

A chill wind was blowing over the Angelicia Mountains.

Tang Zheng was wrapped in a black robe, suspended in mid-air, with a single-frame magic item with "night vision" on his eyes, staring at a fortress below.

That was the territory of the dwarves!

Swish.

The chill wind blew the black robe on his body, but in the sky and in the middle of the night, this movement would not be discovered by the fortress below.

The purpose of his trip was to find the rune craftsmen among the dwarves.

If you want to borrow these craftsmen from the dwarves, you naturally need to have some contact with the dwarves. The best way is what the Bone King did.

Using the threat of the quaggadocios, making demands on the dwarves, and taking away the rune craftsmen after repelling the quaggadocios, you can also establish diplomatic relations with the dwarves.

But this approach is obviously not suitable for Tang Zheng.

The traces are too heavy!

Too much information is exposed!

In the future, when the "Big Tomb" comes, if nothing unexpected happens, the Bone King will still be interested in Rune technology and visit the dwarves.

Then this mysterious man who appeared in the human race of the dwarves and also needed Rune craftsmen will appear in the Bone King's vision, which is not what Tang Zheng wants to see.

In addition to Rune craftsmen, the dwarves have nothing worth Tang Zheng's interest, so after thinking about it, he plans to use the simplest way.

Kidnap people!

Tang Zheng slowly descended from the sky, and the things below gradually became clear under the vision of the "night vision" magic prop.

Big rift.

It is a very terrifying geographical location in the Angelicia Mountains. The light length is more than 60 kilometers and the width is about 120 meters.

The depth is even more undetectable.

For the dwarfs, the eastern city "Feao Jura" is a natural fortress, and there is no situation where land creatures can cross the big rift.

However.

For Tang Zheng, who has the ability to "fly", the difficulty of crossing the big rift is obviously not there.

After Tang Zheng descended to a position about 200 meters above the ground, he could clearly see a somewhat conspicuous fortress at the edge of the big crack.

"At this time, have the dwarves moved to the Eastern City?" Tang Zheng looked down and thought to himself.

At the current time point.

Tang Zheng could not accurately determine whether the dwarves lived in the Southern City or in the Eastern City after the plot began.

So, he first came to the nearest Eastern City to check. And since a fortress has been built below, it means that the dwarves have already lived here.

"According to the timeline, the dwarves should not have moved to the Eastern City so early." Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

When he solved the lizardmen, the chief of the "Dragon Tooth" tribe at the beginning of the future plot, Renber Gugu, was not in the Dragon Tooth tribe.

Tang Zheng speculated at the time that this lizardman should still be practicing in the Southern City of the dwarves.

Now it has been more than a month since the lizardmen were solved. The dwarves moved to the Eastern City so quickly?

Doubts arose in his heart.

Tang Zheng quickly observed the dwarf fortress built on the edge of the big crack below.

It was called a "fortress", but it was actually a station built by the dwarves. The existence of the big crack was enough to block any enemy on land.

The fundamental purpose of this station was to protect the suspension bridge that the dwarves had worked hard to build on the big crack. As long as the suspension bridge was guarded, all the monsters on land could be blocked from invading.

"There are four dwarves on guard. The area of ​​the station is not large enough. There are only more than 20 people at most."

After observing for a while, Tang Zheng analyzed silently in his heart, and then his mind moved.

Tang Zheng's figure quickly descended from the sky.

Whoosh!

A rapid sound of breaking through the air came from above.

The four dwarves standing on both sides of the suspension bridge, yawning, subconsciously raised their heads and looked up.

In the field of vision, only a tall black figure fell among them. Before they could react, a deep cold light flashed.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The heads of the four dwarves flew into the air and fell into the abyss crack not far away.

Tang Zheng held the magic sword in his hand and looked forward expressionlessly at the low, square-shaped station building that was only about two meters high.

Since the four dwarves did not make any sound until they died, they naturally did not alarm the other dwarves sleeping inside.

His eyes briefly stopped at the protrusion facing the suspension bridge, which was like a cannon barrel, directly above the station.

There was a slight fluctuation of magic power on it.

It should be the "lightning strike" magic prop specially prepared by the dwarves to deal with the Quagoa.

Quagoa have excellent resistance to metal weapons, but lightning attacks are the weakness of the race. If they encounter the attack of the Quagoa.

In the case that there is only one route in the entire crack, the suspension bridge, the Quagoa want to break through from the suspension bridge, and they will face the "lightning strike" with a penetrating effect.

Bang.

Tang Zheng raised his foot and kicked the four dwarfs' bodies into the abyss, chanting in a low voice: "Camouflage."

A ripple like flowing water flashed across Tang Zheng's body surface, and in the already dark night environment, his figure gradually blended into the night.

"Stealth!"

As the thief skill was activated, Tang Zheng silently passed the station and walked towards the mountain wall behind.

There was a three-meter-high and two-meter-wide stone door there.

Tang Zheng easily walked into the stone door because there were no dwarves stationed here.

"Except for the station outside, the defense here is really lax."

Tang Zheng hid in the shadows and continued to walk deeper along the crystal ore above the cave, which was emitting a faint and hazy light.

This is a spiral tunnel extending underground, and it is also an important route connecting the outside station and the underground eastern city.

Tang Zheng continued to move deeper while recalling the information in his mind. Soon, a half-open giant stone door appeared in front of him.

Even in the gray underground, this stone door still reflects the bright silver luster under the light of the crystal ore above the head.

According to the information in the memory, this is a door made entirely of mithril and mountain copper, which can no longer be measured by money among humans.

Only the dwarves who are good at mining and refining metals can be so extravagant as to use these two precious metals to build a door.

"Only one person is guarding here?"

Tang Zheng looked at the dwarf soldier who was guarding the half-open stone door, holding a long spear, and exuding a smell of alcohol, and couldn't help but become more and more surprised.

The stone gate in front of him can be said to be the last line of defense of the Eastern City. It should be guarded by a large number of dwarf soldiers.

But the situation in front of him was full of relaxation.

Silently, Tang Zheng approached the drunken dwarf soldier, crossed the stone gate and observed the back. There were several dwarf soldiers guarding on both sides, and they also looked drunk.

Looking up and looking into the distance, he could already see the Eastern City.

"What is this?"

Tang Zheng's eyes were stunned.

Rows of box-like, featureless buildings came into view, some of which were two-story buildings, and some were one-story buildings.

Most of these buildings looked like they had just been built. Even in the distance, some dwarves could be seen waving tools to build.

Seeing this scene.

Tang Zheng had realized something, stepped out of the stone door, looked at the dwarf soldier who was leaning against the corner and sleeping soundly because of drunkenness, and raised his palm.

Snap!

A crisp sound.

The dwarf soldier's cheek immediately swelled up, and he woke up suddenly in pain, looking at Tang Zheng standing in front of him, wrapped in a black robe, with confused eyes.

"All races are enchanted."

The dwarf soldier's body stiffened, then relaxed, and staggered to get up from the ground.

"What's the situation here?" Tang Zheng asked.

"We are building a new city "Fei'ao Jura." The dwarf soldier spoke with a slightly unclear pronunciation.

"What about your original southern city?"

"I heard from the commander-in-chief that a large number of traces of quaggadocios were found near our southern city "Feiao Lezo"."

"Regents, just in case, send all the craftsmen to build a new city here in advance."

After Tang Zheng asked a few more questions, his eyes showed a look of understanding.

He had some doubts before. According to the timeline, the dwarves should still be in the southern city now.

And the current situation shows that the dwarves had already started to build a new city in advance several years ago.

No wonder the defense here is so lax.

It's normal if you think about it carefully.

How could the relocation of an entire tribe be completed in a short period of time? It must have been prepared in advance and the foundation has been laid.

So.

Most of the dwarves are still in the southern city now.

Do you want to go there?

Wait!

"Just now, all the craftsmen were sent here to build, so the Rune craftsmen are also here?" Tang Zheng remembered what the dwarf soldier had just said, and his eyes lit up.

"He should be there too." The dwarf soldier said uncertainly.

With the development of "magic" technology, even the dwarves no longer value the outdated technology of Rune technology.

After asking questions.

Tang Zheng raised his palm and knocked the dwarf soldier unconscious, then let him lean against the corner again, pretending to be drunk and sleeping.

A figure flashed.

Tang Zheng disappeared and entered the Eastern City.

Using the crude and simple method of "All Races Charm", he found the lone dwarf craftsman and asked directly, and soon locked the location of all Rune craftsmen.

The next step was much simpler!

While these dwarf craftsmen were sleeping, Tang Zheng knocked out the Rune craftsmen he found and used teleportation magic to return to the lava zone.

After going back and forth dozens of times.

Without alarming any dwarves, all the Rune craftsmen had been taken away by Tang Zheng.

The next day.

Outside the lava zone.

More than 20 Rune craftsmen were lying on the ground, snoring. Some of them turned over and pressed on other dwarves.

These dwarves were about 140cm tall, with short arms and legs, a beer barrel-like physique, and a gray-brown beard on their faces.

"Snoring!"

"Crackling!"

"Snoring!"

Various snoring and even grinding sounds came from this group of dwarves from time to time.

Tang Zheng was sitting cross-legged not far away, with one hand supporting his chin. It seemed that because these dwarves were sleeping so soundly, he couldn't help yawning.

The evil dog was lying on Tang Zheng's right side, its sharp eyes occasionally sweeping over the group of dwarves, with curiosity in its eyes.

On Tang Zheng's left side, stood respectfully, the gray dwarf forging minister who was controlled by "All Races Charm".

Three eyes were looking at the group of dwarves at the same time.

Tang Zheng was not in a hurry to wake up the group of dwarves. The ability of "All Races Charm" could only control one creature, not more than 20 dwarf craftsmen at a time.

If he wanted these captured dwarves to work for him, he could not use tough means.

"Hu~"

Gong De made a strong snoring sound from his throat, blowing his upper and lower lips trembling.

After a snore.

Gong De closed his eyes, chewed his mouth, and half-awake and half-asleep raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

It's so hot.

This thought flashed through Gong De's mind.

Dwarves who like to live underground don't like cold environments, but the temperature on the Angelicia Mountains is cold.

Even if you are underground, the temperature is not high.

But it's too hot now.

Is the environment in the Eastern City so hot, or did you drink a few more bowls of wine last night and haven't sobered up yet?

Gong De thought about this and opened his eyes sleepily.

The red light reflected between the mountain walls first caught his eyes. This was the light and heat transmitted from the magma sea.

Gong De was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he woke up suddenly. He quickly got up from the ground and shouted in panic: "Fire! Fire!"

The terrified roar echoed between the mountain walls.

The other dwarves who were still sleeping all jumped up from the ground and looked around in panic.

However, there was no fire around!

No!

This was not the Eastern City "Fei Ao Jula" where they were at all.

"What kind of a place is this? Aren't we building a house?" a dwarf asked blankly.

Snap!

At this moment, a crisp sound of two hands clapping came from the front of the dwarves, attracting the attention of all the dwarves.

A human sitting cross-legged on the ground, wrapped in a black robe, came into the sight of all the dwarves present.

There was also a monster similar to a demon wolf and... a dwarf?

Minister Forge's gray skin, which was different from their skin color, made all the dwarves' eyes pause.

"Welcome to the lava zone."

"I'm very sorry that I invited you here without your consent."

Tang Zheng exerted a little force on his legs, and easily stood up from the cross-legged posture, and spoke apologetically to the dwarves in front of him.

As soon as these words came out!

All the dwarves who were originally noisy suddenly became quiet.
