Inside the vault of Eight Peaks Mountain, Bellegar finally found a black square box in a mausoleum. The box was about one meter wide and sixty centimeters long. The King of Eight Peaks Mountain slowly opened it.
"Heh, a big box full of Green Leaf Platinum Diamonds." Belega sneered. He opened the box, and a colorful light came out from the box. The bright colors and powerful magic power overflowed instantly. The ancient, empty, and dead depths of the mausoleum seemed to have become lively because of this precious diamond. The light enveloped the stone walls and pillars nearby. "This is the reason why Pointy Ears came here! For these Green Leaf Platinum Diamonds. "
"Green Leaf Platinum Diamonds?" Laing brought Veronica and Olica to Bellegar's side. The white dwarf took over the conversation. The old dwarf took out a pipe, found a place to sit, and began to smoke. "Yes, Green Leaf Platinum Diamonds. King Bellegar, Laing, and Pointy Ear and the witch behind you, are you interested in a story? The story of the Green Leaf Platinum Diamond? "
Laing and the others naturally had no objections. Everyone stopped what they were doing and began to listen to the story.
The beginning of the story was the story of the ancient legendary hero, the first Phoenix King, Alarion. Everyone had heard this a few times, so there was no need to repeat it here.
Relying on the power and blessing of the Phoenix King Asuryan, Alarion once relied on his powerful strength to defeat the chaos demons from the portal in the north. The first Phoenix King was handsome and powerful. He led the elven army to defeat every chaos army that wreaked havoc in Ossouin, eliminating every chaos demon or chaos warrior that tried to harm the world. Ossouin enjoyed a short period of peace. Alarion met the Eternal Queen at the Eternal Queen's palace in Avalon, Estalia (yes, Estalia was named after this name). The Eternal Queen was conquered by this powerful and handsome man and married him. The two had a happy marriage and had a son and a daughter.
However, the good times did not last long. Chaos soon made a comeback. Anarion could defeat every army of Chaos he encountered, but he was only one person. Just as he went out to fight in other places, the army of Chaos demons killed their way into Avalon.
The Eternal Queen begged the ancient Ent Dulsu, who was a guest in Avalon at that time, to save her children and bring them to the Azeroth Forest, while she stayed behind to face her own fate. After that, the elves refused to discuss the fate of the Eternal Queen, but her children did survive. They grew up in Azeroth and escaped the curse of Cain's Blood. After Alario died, they were sent back to Ossouin. Her daughter, Eran, became the new Eternal Queen, and her children were recognized by the wood elves as their ancestors. Among the most precious relics they left behind, this green leaf platinum gemstone was one of the most important treasures. It was said that Alario and the elves during the peacetime spent countless efforts to create this sacred object in memory of the Eternal Queen who died in battle.
But before the elves could use it, the War of the Long Beard broke out. In the end, most of the green leaf platinum gemstones were seized by the dwarves on their way back home and kept for themselves.
(A small number of them sank to the bottom of the sea with the princess when Princess Malecis' fiancée was on a ship to Nagaros to reconcile with the Witch King. By the way, this storm was summoned by the Witch Queen Morasi.)
The wood elves and the high elves had always been brooding over the whereabouts of this batch of green leaf platinum gemstones. But after the fall of the Eight Peaks Mountain and the sacred objects were buried deep underground, the elves naturally could not help the dwarves to reclaim the Eight Peaks Mountain, so it had been delayed until today.
"The forest's pointy ears sent out their troops this time to get these!" The white dwarf grabbed a handful of gemstones and threw them away, letting the sparkling diamond particles fall into the sea of gold. "Oh ho, now it's the pointy ears' turn to beg us."
"You're not going to fulfill your promise?" Laing asked curiously.
"Who says we're not going to fulfill our promise? Don't doubt the sincerity of the dwarves. "Belega reached out and pulled out a piece of jewelry from a large pile of green leaf platinum gemstones.
The Crown of Eternal Radiance.
It was the Eternal Queen's Crown made of hundreds of green leaf platinum gemstones. It had the blessings of Yisha and Kunos. It was originally given to the Eternal Queen, but in the end, it was seized by the dwarves.
Olica and Veronica's eyes were attracted to this crown.
If this crown was worn on Lilith or Sulia's head, it would definitely be very beautiful! Laing suddenly had this thought in his mind. As for the wood elves? Who cares? Anyway, if it was in the hands of Aralos, it would probably be given to Lilith.
"Considering the pointy ears' role in this war, well, a little." Belega grabbed a handful of gemstones and put them into a small bag. "We'll give them this much first. As for the rest, hehe, I guess the pointy ears don't even know how much we have in stock."
"Give them a portion first?" Laing nodded slightly. The dwarves' actions made sense.
For the wood elves, this group of people living in the forest did not have any spirit of contract. This was something that the elves all had some sort of consensus on. Among them, the high elves' spirit of contract was slightly stronger, and the dark elves' spirit of contract was twisted and worded to avoid disadvantages. But for the wood elves … Hehe, this group of elves would abide by the contract only because it was necessary, or because the other party was strong. For example, Laing had a good relationship with the wood elves because of the above two reasons.
"As for this crown, I think Laing will arrange a good place for it. Am I right?" The white dwarf was obviously very unhappy with the elves. He directly took the Eternal Radiant Crown and handed it to Laing. "I'll give this to you. I know you know a good place for it."
"How do you know that I know a good place for it?" Laing thought that the white dwarf knew that the Lake Fairy was Lilith.
"You know that I know that you know a good place for it." The white dwarf nodded again and again. His face became serious. "But don't rely on her too much. You must have your own ideas, young man."
"I will." Laing nodded.
After spending a few hours counting the wealth, everyone left the treasury. The dwarves would spend about two weeks to divide the amount that should be given to Laing. At the same time, they would also calculate the amount that should be used to repay Belegar's debts. Among them, Laing would receive a million dwarven gold coins, while Belegar would take out another 150,000 dwarven gold coins to repay his debts.
Although Eight Peaks Mountain had been recovered, the small scale war was not over. In the following week, Laing and Belegar led a small elite army to clean up some small green tribes and several small Skaven clans nearby. This ensured that Eight Peaks Mountain would not be attacked by strong enemies for the next few years.
Strangely, the wood elves' army also joined in the cleaning up, but Aralos had disappeared for several days. His subordinates could not find him. They only asked his subordinates and said that the wood elf hero had temporarily left because of personal matters.
Knight King thought to himself, What's wrong with this guy?
It seems that I should ask the Lake Fairy when I have time.
After Laing and the others solved some of the threats around them, they also waited for the messenger from the Eternity Peak. The Supreme Dwarf King sent an Eternity Guardian as a messenger to Eight Peaks Mountain. After seeing it with his own eyes, the Eternity Guardian finally believed that Eight Peaks Mountain had been recovered. "Belegar Ironhammer! The Supreme King has a decree! "
"The real king of Eight Peaks Mountain, Belegar Ironhammer, lead the dwarven warriors of the Angran clan and listen to the decree of His Majesty Solgreen." Belle solemnly saluted. The dwarven patriarch, rune craftsmen, and engineers were all present, but the knights were not present. Only the white dwarf was sitting at the side, listening. This old dwarf did not need to salute to any other dwarf.
"His Majesty Solgreen has expressed his praise and commendation for His Majesty Belegar and your knight allies' actions in recovering Eight Peaks Mountain." The Eternity Peak messenger said in a rough voice, "In this dark age, you and your knight allies have shown the strength and glory of the dwarves through such actions. His Majesty Solgreen is very happy, but he wants to remind you that the Green Dwarves and the Skaven Ratmen will not let this go. They will soon come back."
"Ha, Solgreen, why is he pretending to be kind at this time?" Not only did Belegar not listen, but he also stood up and shouted, "Do you think I don't know? It is difficult to take back Eight Peaks Mountain, but it is even more difficult to defend it! Does Solgreen think I am a stone head? I don't need to be reminded. I will take my people and defend this place. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give Eight Peaks Mountain to others. What help can the Eternity Peak provide? "
"I have brought a team of rotorcraft and a small team of engineers with me." The Eternity Peak messenger was a little unhappy. He said in a low voice, "His Majesty the Supreme King does not have many soldiers. Of course, it is good news that you have recovered Eight Peaks Mountain. However, the war in the North is not over yet. The Eternity Peak is preparing to organize an army to go to Ganbard Peak in the North to take a large amount of Bright Stones from the Night Goblins. Therefore, they do not have any extra soldiers to help you."
"Hey! Help me? " Belegar was even more unhappy after hearing this. He picked up his Angrund Sacred Hammer and waved it around. He muttered a sentence that would become famous in the history of the dwarves, "Before you came, we were already the reclaimers of Eight Peaks Mountain!"
"What do you mean, His Majesty Belegar?!" The Supreme King's messenger immediately reached out and grabbed his giant hammer. His face under the helmet was trembling because of anger, and his long beard was shaking because of it. "Belegar, don't forget that it is the Supreme King who has been helping you. Your people did not starve to death because of him!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then when we, Brother Laing, and our knight allies fought against Steel Cliff, the Valaya Gate, and the Titan Gate, where was Solgreen? "Belegar impatiently waved his hand and said," That's what I mean! "
Both sides immediately drew their swords. The Supreme King's messenger team all took out their weapons, and Belegar's side did not want to be outdone.
An all-out war was about to break out, until an angry roar sounded, "Enough!"
"Your Highness White Dwarf!" The Eternity Peak messenger saw the White Dwarf speak, and his legs trembled. He could not help but put down the weapon in his hand.
"What Belegar means is that he is very grateful for His Majesty Solgreen's help and reward, but now the dwarves of Eight Peaks Mountain have to rely on their own strength to survive." The White Dwarf glared at Belegar, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain lowered his head in embarrassment. He signaled the dwarves under him to put away their weapons.
After both sides put away their weapons, the White Dwarf slowly said with a pipe in his mouth, "According to the ancestral law, even the Supreme King has no right to interfere with the affairs of the dwarven kingdoms. Am I right?"
"Yes." The Eternity Peak messenger bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"So what's there to argue about? Since Solgreen has sent a helicopter squad to assist you, this is a symbol of concern and solidarity. Just accept it, Belega. It's a good thing for Eight Peaks Mountain to have the help of a rotor helicopter squad. " The White Dwarf's anger still hadn't subsided. "As for the internal affairs of Eight Peaks Mountain, Solgreen shouldn't interfere too much. We have to believe that Belegar and his people can protect Eight Peaks Mountain and realize the great revival of the Angran clan, right?"
"Yes." Under the mediation of the white dwarves, Belle Gar and the messenger of Eternity Peak both bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. The disturbance finally disappeared. The two sides discussed how to cooperate after the recovery of Eight Peaks Mountain. After Eight Peaks Mountain was recovered, Eternity Peak, Sea Gate Pass, Iron Peak Castle, and Eight Peaks Mountain were connected. The dwarves could finally unite as one and didn't have to fight separately anymore.
"Alright, everything is done. I should leave." The White Dwarf nodded.
"Your Highness Grimm Brindale!" At this time, Belega and the others were somewhat reluctant to leave. Eight Peak Mountain King stood up and urged him to stay, "We will never forget the help you have given us. You should stay and share this great victory with us."
"No need, hahaha! I have witnessed this great victory and cleared a lot of hatred. Nothing makes me feel more gratified than this." The White Dwarf packed up his things and hung the bag on his shoulder. "I am just an old dwarf passing by. Remember this!"
The White Dwarf packed up his things and left Eight Peaks Mountain without looking back. He was like a god walking in the mortal world, leaving countless legends along the way. However, he never stayed in any place for a long time. As long as there was a war involving the dwarves or there was hatred to be settled, he would appear again.
After the matter with Belegar was over, the messenger of Eternity Peak came out of the ancestral hall. The Eternal Guardian was obviously not in a good mood. However, when he remembered the Supreme King's order, he said to his subordinates, "So, did you find out? Where is that Knight King, Laing Macado? "
"That Knight King is currently stationed in River Cove Town under New Moon Peak and Silver Horn Peak," the Dwarf Ranger said.
"Okay, we will go and see him now." The emissary stroked his white beard and sneered, "Hmph, His Majesty the Supreme King already knew that Belle Jia wouldn't listen to his advice, but how could his sparsely populated clansmen defend such a large fortress like Eight Peaks Mountain?"
"Then … what does the Supreme King mean?" The Dwarf Ranger asked.
"The hope of defending Eight Peaks Mountain lies on the humans. Eight Peaks Mountain is different from normal Dwarf Fortresses. It is similar to Sea Gate Pass. Most of the land here is towns and cities. The plateau can be used to grow crops and graze livestock. Humans can also live here." The messenger of Eternity Peak nodded. "Therefore, if we want to defend Eight Peaks Mountain, we can't do without the help of humans."
"As for how much help the humans can provide, it depends on how we negotiate with this Knight King." The messenger of Eternity Peak sighed. "His Majesty's conditions are quite generous!"
"For the sake of that fool Belle Jia and Eight Peaks Mountain, His Majesty is truly worried sick."
"Yes."
