Many precious materials and documents, in order to preserve them for a long time, were engraved on some buildings in the ruins. When excavating, the buildings would be damaged the most, and once many precious materials were damaged, there would be no way to repair them.
But the Firerock Dwarves were able to excavate anything valuable without damaging it.
This was also the reason why hiring a Firerock Dwarf to excavate ruins would cost a major force a few millennia later.
But these Firerock Dwarves weren't without weaknesses. They were obsessed with blacksmiths and craftsmen.
Any new thing could make a Firerock Dwarf go crazy.
Lin Yun still remembered the most famous record of the Firerock Dwarves being tricked in the future. At that time, an alchemist suddenly had an idea and used a few kinds of materials to fuse them together, obtaining a composite metal that didn't look like a composite metal at all.
It looked like an ordinary piece of magic metal.
That guy then looked for a Firerock Dwarf to appraise it, but who would have thought that the Firerock Dwarf would insist that it was a new piece of magic metal that had never appeared before and treated it like his life depended on it.
Then, that alchemist who had just advanced to the Master Alchemist realm did something crazy and used that piece of magic metal to swindle an entire tribe of Firerock Dwarves into working for him.
A fake piece of magic metal was given to these Firerock Dwarves in exchange for two hundred years of service.
In the first hundred years, that guy used these Firerock Dwarves to crazily excavate ruins. His wealth and resources sharply increased, and he relied on a large amount of resources to forcibly push himself to the peak of the Artisan realm. He also relied on all kinds of rare materials dug out from the ruins to advance to the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm.
But after a hundred years, the piece of metal he gave to the Firerock Dwarves was discovered to be fake.
In the end, that guy was chased through three planes by a group of enraged Firerock Dwarves and was beaten into meat paste by the Firerock Dwarves' hammers. Even his skull was hung on the entrance of the Firerock Dwarven Clan all year round.
"Merlin, what should we do? "The Firerock Dwarves are the strongest of the three great races, and they aren't easy to talk to. They have violent tempers, are smelly, and stubborn …"
Elsa looked worried. They were about to find it, but the Firerock Dwarves were blocking the way. There was nothing more vexing than this.
Lin Yun waved his hand. He was not worried at all. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something funny, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"It's fine, the Firerock Dwarves are very easy to talk to …"
After saying that, Lin Yun took out a few pieces of high-grade magical metals.
Anderfa glanced at the few pieces of magic metal and curled his lips. "Although these pieces of magic metal are high grade, it's a pity that the Firerock Dwarves don't lack them. You want to bribe the Firerock Dwarves with just a few pieces of metal? You think too much … "
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He took out an alchemy platform and released a Flaming Hand, wrapping up the pieces.
Soon, the few pieces of magic metal melted one after another, and Lin Yun controlled the melted metal to slowly flow towards the array in the center.
Slowly, the array started shining, and the liquid metal slowly fused. Ultimately, the flames dissipated, and the liquid metal rapidly solidified into a silver-gray piece of magic metal.
But from the fluctuations emitted by that piece of magic metal, it was only a piece of low-grade magic metal.
Anderfa looked at that piece of composite metal in a daze. "You aren't thinking of using that piece of composite metal to deceive those Firerock Dwarves, are you? They can't be deceived … "
Lin Yun smiled as he held that piece of silver composite metal. "Can any of you see that this is a piece of composite metal? This is an unknown piece of magic metal! "
Lin Yun knew that the Firerock Dwarves had been deceived for over a hundred years, so how could he not know how to make that array? Although he couldn't make a perfect replica at the moment, Lin Yun was still able to make it.
Although he couldn't make a perfect counterfeit at the moment, using a few pieces of high-grade metal and abandoning the effects of the high-grade metal to make a piece of low-grade magic metal that couldn't be seen through was no problem.
Moreover, entering the ruins only to capture that Magic Tool Incarnation wouldn't take too long. He only needed to deceive them for a while, not a hundred years.
Elsa was foolishly pulled away by Lin Yun. Lin Yun held that piece of magic metal in his hand, and just as he approached the ruins, he was discovered by a few Firerock Dwarves.
"Who is it!"
In an instant, a dozen Firerock Dwarves holding hammers rushed out and surrounded Lin Yun and Elsa.
"What are you doing?"
A Firerock Dwarf shouted at the top of his lungs, but then, his gaze was attracted by the piece of Low Tier Magic Metal in Lin Yun's hand.
The other Firerock Dwarves were also firmly staring at that piece of magic metal in Lin Yun's hand.
"Hey, what is that piece of magic metal in your hand?"
One of the Firerock Dwarves seemed to have forgotten to ask about Lin Yun's group's origins, as all his attention was attracted by that piece of magic metal.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth as he raised the magic metal in his hand.
"Are you talking about this? I don't know either. I accidentally obtained it when I was being chased by an Orachiss. I looked through all the ancient records, but I couldn't find out what kind of metal it was. Thus, I thought that the Firerock Dwarves would definitely know, so I came to give it to you. "
Lin Yun tossed the piece of metal in his hand, and the Firerock Dwarves' eyes followed it up and down.
"Give it to us? Really! "
The leader of the Firerock Dwarves was pleasantly surprised. He then seemed to recall something and hesitated before asking, "What do you want? Are you thinking about these ruins? "
Lin Yun casually threw the metal over, and that Firerock Dwarf hurriedly caught it, caressing it as if it was his first love.
Lin Yun shook his head and answered, "We aren't interested in these ruins, but a Dark Elven Clan's Magic Tool Incarnation escaped here. We want to capture it. Apart from that, we aren't interested in anything else in the ruins."
Hearing this, the Firerock Dwarves, who had long since been overjoyed, didn't doubt anything else and promptly agreed.
"Okay, you can go in, but you can only capture that Magic Tool Incarnation. You can't touch anything else."
After saying that, a few Firerock Dwarves hurriedly opened the entrance of the ruins, as if afraid that Lin Yun would go back on his word.
This time, Enderfa and the others were thoroughly stunned.
Xiuban scratched his head and asked, "This isn't a good metal, is it?"
The leader of the Firerock Dwarves disdainfully glanced at Xiuban. "What does a Beastman like you know? This is an extremely rare first-rate magic metal!"
Xiuban opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Anderfa had a constipated expression, and after a while, he mumbled, "That's f * cking fine …"
The group of Firerock Dwarves looked like hospitable hosts and urged Lin Yun's group to hurry up and enter the ruins, not even asking who they were. It was as if they were good friends and not going in meant that they weren't giving them face.
The group's brains weren't enough, and they were in a daze. They couldn't understand how a piece of composite metal that didn't require much skill could turn these Firerock Dwarves into idiots.
Lin Yun also felt that things had gone too smoothly, too smoothly. He hadn't had time to say a lot of things.
They clearly weren't Dark Elves, yet they wanted to enter the ruins to capture a Dark Elven Clan's Magic Tool Incarnation. Anyone who heard this would think that it was nonsense.
Lin Yun had pulled Elsa to reveal her identity as a Dark Elven Princess, but unfortunately, these Firerock Dwarves hadn't even asked.
Wasn't this too careless?
The Firerock Dwarves were very fanatical about unknown materials, but they weren't fanatical enough to let a group of unknown people enter the ruins, right?
Lin Yun turned to look at those Firerock Dwarves, but he suddenly noticed something wrong.
He had been disrupted by these Firerock Dwarves and had almost forgotten about it.
The Firerock Dwarves' eyes were red, especially when they were excited. Their eyes looked like burning red flames.
What could make these Firerock Dwarves more excited than discovering a piece of unknown magic metal?
Nothing …
These Firerock Dwarves were very excited, but their eyes weren't red. Instead, they looked like burning blue flames.
"Something's wrong! Everyone stop! "
Lin Yun shouted in a low voice, promptly stopping everyone from entering the ruins.
Lin Yun stopped the clueless group and frowned as he looked at those Firerock Dwarves. Sure enough, every Firerock Dwarf's eyes seemed to be flickering with blue flames, completely different from his impression of the Firerock Dwarves.
Lin Yun suddenly stopped, startling the Firerock Dwarf who had been talking and quickly put the magic metal in his bosom.
"What are you doing? Why are you still here? Since you already gave it to us, don't think of taking it back! "
One of the Firerock Dwarves roared irritably.
"Go in! Quickly go in! Damnit, why are you still here? "
"They must be regretting it. No, we can't let anyone snatch that piece of magic metal!"
"Let them go in? No, they must be regretting it, what should we do?"
"Kill them! Right, only by killing them will the magic metal be ours! "
The group of Firerock Dwarves that had been incomparably enthusiastic a moment ago now had blue flames flickering in their eyes, as if they had gone crazy.
Lin Yun hadn't even said a word. He had only stopped, yet these Firerock Dwarves actually wanted to kill Lin Yun's group. Even after the first Firerock Dwarf said this, all the other Firerock Dwarves immediately agreed.
"No, there's something wrong with these Firerock Dwarves …"
