In a mysterious room, there was the smell of magic and technology everywhere. The steel floor and walls were covered with many glowing stripes that illuminated the whole room.
There was a strange instrument placed in the room. It was like an altar, cylindrical in shape and concave in the middle. There were also many strange lines, which were similar to the patterns of magic runes.
The strange thing was that the light of these patterns appeared in the air, forming a map made of light. There were mountain ranges made of light, and in the middle of the mountain range was a conical mountain. Inside the mountain were densely packed buildings. This was the terrain of the entire Mount Garuda. At this moment, a red dot suddenly appeared on the map.
Suddenly, the metal door in the room opened automatically, and an old man in a white robe appeared behind the door. He rubbed his stomach and returned to his post, which was staring at the map.
Just as he was complaining about today's lunch, he looked up and suddenly saw a red dot on the map.
"Ah! The invaders have come to the central region? What's going on? Why hasn't the defense mechanism been activated?! "
The old man suddenly panicked. He quickly ran to the machine and operated it to enlarge the red dot. Suddenly, the picture began to change and gradually had color, forming a lifelike picture. In the picture, he saw a barbarian soldier wearing primitive weapons. Strangely, this team was not only made up of demons, but also humans and orcs. He also saw that at the front of this team were five dwarves, and the one in the middle was actually Princess Fu Yin.
"What? Why is this girl outside? "
The old man's eyes widened, but he quickly remembered that the person who delivered the meal today was this restless girl. Then, his stomach inexplicably hurt.
"Not good! I have to inform the king quickly. "
He quickly left the chair, but suddenly his stomach made a rumbling sound.
"Ah! Again, damn it, how much did this girl put in? Hold it in. "
The old man clutched his stomach and rushed out with his eight legs.
This was a steel castle, and it was a three-dimensional structure. The old man was almost at the highest point. He took a lift to the next floor and walked along the corridor close to the cliff. Looking down from the armrest, he could see a very prosperous city. Countless houses were stacked on top of each other, and the roads were full of dwarves. They were carrying large and small things on their backs, blocking the streets.
The old man did not see this scene. He ran directly to the palace and opened the door to the palace.
"Big! Bad news! "
As he shouted, he rushed into the great hall where the king was. However, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The guards in the palace were running around as if something big had happened. The old man was a little puzzled. Could it be that they all knew?
No matter what, he had to report it. Otherwise, if he was accused of concealing the truth, he would be finished.
"Your Majesty! Bad news! Your second daughter, Princess Fu Yin, she … "
However, when the old man entered the hall, he found that the ministers were in a panic, discussing something. The king was holding his forehead and sitting on the throne with a look of despair.
He did not know what had happened, so as usual, he bowed to the King, bent his back and bowed his legs, and walked slowly into view.
"Your Majesty, your second daughter, Princess Fu Yin, went out without permission and was unfortunately caught by the barbarian army. They are now approaching here!"
The old man shouted loudly. The king sighed and said, "I can't care about these trivial matters now!"
The king said something that surprised the old man. Trivial matters? Fu Yin was his daughter. How could she be a child?
When the old man raised his head, he saw the wall behind the throne and revealed a shocked expression. Behind the throne was an ancient wall carved with a sun pattern. It was a prophecy tablet carved by the ancestors of the dwarves more than a thousand years ago after experiencing divine punishment. If the black gem in the middle of the sun suddenly lit up, it meant that divine punishment was about to come again.
"Ah! Divine punishment!! "
The old man sat on the ground in shock. He finally understood why the soldiers were so flustered, the ministers kept arguing, and the king said that Fu Yin's matter was a trivial matter.
Divine punishment was about to come. The thing that the dwarves were most afraid of was about to happen …
"One thousand seven hundred years ago, that divine punishment was what we dwarves feared the most. Our ancestors were lucky enough to hide under Mount Garo, and Mount Garo was rich in a kind of ore that could dissipate magic, so we were able to avoid that divine punishment. But after they came out, they saw the dust of their compatriots and the empty city. This left an indelible fear in our ancestors, and they have continued this fear to this day. We don't dare to leave this place. Most dwarves don't know the outside world. They live in this mountain all their lives and think that this is the whole world. "
Princess Fu Yin, who was sitting next to the Demon King, said. She frowned and did not know why she said so much.
The Demon King nodded. He was very interested in the divine punishment that the dwarves mentioned. What was the reason for them to all disappear overnight? World-level magic?
No, this was unlikely.
Even if he had the power to destroy the world, it was unlikely that he could accurately target the dwarves. It was like trying to kill a specific few ants with a slap without hurting the other ants in a pile. It was very difficult. To be able to do this, he was probably close to omnipotent. Could it be that there was really an omnipotent god in the world?
The Demon King was not clear, but he was sure that an omniscient and omnipotent God would not waste his energy to do such a thing, nor would he punish or reward someone because someone scolded him or begged him.
"What else do you know about your divine punishment? Is there any relevant record?" The Demon King asked.
"I don't know. If you want to know more, you can ask my father. I don't believe in divine punishment. It's probably some kind of disease or war. The world is so big, I don't want to be locked up in a mountain for a lifetime for such a stupid reason."
Fu Yin crossed her hands in front of her. It turned out that this was the reason why she personally faced the attack.
The Demon King smiled and said, "Then have you ever thought that maybe the people in this world are like you, trapped in a place and not knowing for a lifetime?"
Hearing this, Fu Yin was stunned for a moment. She tilted her head and looked at the Demon King, saying, "Really?"
"Who knows."
The Demon King smiled mysteriously.
"Then, then I have to go out and take a look. At least I have to know how big the outside is. Ai! By the way, I forgot a very important thing. I heard that there's a place called the sea. It's all water. Is that true? "
Fu Yin asked curiously.
"Uh, it's true, but it's definitely different from what you think." The Demon King said.
"Ah! It's actually true. I thought it was someone's illusion. Ah ~ ~ I really want to take a look. "
The other party suddenly said. The two of them chatted so casually that the Dwarf Warriors walking on both sides couldn't help but sigh. They were the other party's captives. They didn't know what kind of punishment they would receive when they returned. This troublemaker princess actually chatted so happily with the invader and even told him the secret of the Dwarves.
Fu Yin suddenly moved to the Demon King's side and covered her mouth with her hand. She said sneakily, "I'll tell you something. Can you promise me that you won't tell anyone else?"
"It depends on the situation."
The Demon King said.
"What? You won't even agree to such a small request? Forget it." She stood up and was about the same height as the Demon King when he was sitting down.
"Actually, us Dwarves hate magic very much. We'll be scolded when we talk about magic. But I don't hate it at all. In fact, I'm very interested in it. Remember to keep it a secret for me."
The other party said.
"This is considered a secret??"
The Demon King said suspiciously.
"Shh!!"
The other party hurriedly covered his mouth and looked back at the dwarven warriors.
"Don't tell anyone. If my father finds out, I'll be in trouble. Ah! If you can talk to my father, can you teach me a little bit of magic? I'm really begging you! I can pay you. "
She said seriously. The Demon King shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything.
He probably knew why the Dwarves hated magic and why they didn't want future generations to be interested in magic. Inferring from the dwarves he met, the level of magic of the Dwarves was extremely low and there was no way to use traditional magic. Magicians had a very high threshold. Even humans were one in a million. The level of magic of the Dwarves was even lower than that of ordinary people without talent, only one-tenth of the average level.
Magic needed magic, just like fire needed fuel. Magic was a burning flame. In theory, as long as you had magic, you could use magic. Theory and practice were completely different, because not all magic could be transformed and used. A considerable part of it was used without transformation, that is, wasted. The level of magic utilization of novices was very low. They needed more magic to cast the same magic. The more talented ones needed six or seven times more magic for the first time, and the less talented ones needed even more.
Therefore, people with high levels of magic would get started faster, and the Dwarves, who lacked magic, could learn magic in theory, but the premise was that their magic utilization rate had to reach the level of veteran Magicians. But the problem was that new scholars needed to learn how to use magic before they could slowly practice and improve their magic utilization rate.
So, this was a very contradictory thing.
"I have a lot of gems and gold to pay for, is that not enough?" Fu Yin said with a frown.
The Demon King shook his head and said nothing.
"Just a simple little spell is enough to satisfy me. Can't I even do that? Then you can give me a magic book. There should be some. You Magicians must have magic books. "
The other party chattered.
The Demon King sighed, looked at the other party, and said, "By the way, is it really good for you to do this? What if we are your enemies? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to your people? "
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Yin's mouth rose, and she said, "You underestimate us too much. Hehe, although we are a little short, we are not as weak as you think. Let me tell you, the Orcs had attacked on a large scale before, but we defeated them. I suggest that you don't be enemies with us. Although Father and the others are a little stubborn, they are actually quite reasonable. Maybe he will give you some gifts to send you away or something. "
Seeing her fearless look, the Demon King did not know what expression to make. He hoped that the Dwarves were really as powerful as she said.
Following that road, under Fu Yin's lead, it was really smooth all the way. Soon, they came to a nearly vertical mountain, and the road was blocked by a bottomless ravine.
"There's no way!"
Bru immediately turned his head and glared at Fu Yin in the carriage.
"Pay attention to defense!"
Lie Arc shouted as he ran to the carriage where the Demon King was.
"Lord Demon King! There's no way ahead! This might be a trap! "
"Alright, there are traps here and there. If we wanted to kill you, we would have done it long ago. Why would we waste so much effort?"
Fu Yin said in an infuriating tone. She did not look like a captive at all.
"Illusions? Good door. "
The Demon King looked at the cliff in front of him and said slowly.
Fu Yin, who was about to jump off the carriage, was shocked. She turned back and asked, "No way? You can actually see it? That's impossible. "
The other Dwarven warriors were also shocked. This door was made with a large amount of Dwarven technology. Logically speaking, it was impossible to see it from the outside. Moreover, the door was one with the mountain. Even if climbers or adventurers came, they would not be able to detect the Dwarves even if they climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Nothing is impossible."
The Demon King said.
Fu Yin frowned, feeling that this man was becoming more and more mysterious. She could not see through him.
"Forget it, I'll open the door."
After saying that, she jumped off the carriage and trotted to the edge of the cliff. She took out a crimson diamond pendant and raised it above her head. Suddenly, a red light flashed and shone directly into the cliff.
One second passed, two seconds passed, and it was not until the tenth second that she felt that something was wrong.
"Why is there no reaction? It shouldn't be. "
Fu Yin rubbed her diamond pendant and did the same thing.
The soldiers and the Demon King behind her could also sense something. Bru, who could not hold back his temper, came to Lie Arc's side and whispered, "Could she be lying to us?"
"It's possible. Be careful not to let them escape."
Lie Arc quietly held the rope.
"Eh? What's going on? Why aren't the people inside opening the door? Could it be … "
Fu Yin frowned. Her uneasiness was completely exposed on her face. The Dwarven warriors behind her also felt uneasy.
"Princess, let me do it."
A Dwarven warrior stepped forward and took out his blue diamond. It was much smaller than Fu Yin's, but it could also shoot out a ray of light.
However, it was like throwing a stone into a bottomless pit. There was no response at all.
"What should we do? This door can't be opened! "
They panicked. Could it be because of their actions that the King decided to expel them?
Fu Yin was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, her feet restlessly pacing on the spot.
"I'm Fu Yin Slender Hands! Open the door for me! "
She shouted at the cliff, but nothing happened. Only an echo came.
"How could this be? I was wrong. I'm sorry, Father!"
Fu Yin shouted as she was about to cry.
At this moment, the Demon King walked out of the carriage.
"Let me try."
He said as he walked forward.
"It's useless. This door can only be opened from the inside," she said with a sobbing tone.
The Demon King came to her side and suddenly stretched out his hand.
"I order you in the name of destroying the Demon King! Open for me! "
He shouted, and a terrifying Demon King's power emerged from his body. A faintly discernible evil figure appeared behind him. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a dark purple claw appeared on the cliff, deeply embedded in the mountain.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the cliff was directly pulled out. The back of the rock was a metal that was four to five meters thick. It was like a huge iron plate that pressed down. With a bang, it was parallel to the ground and became a huge bridge that connected the cliff and the mountain.
