Chapter 238 Transition Period
Speaking of the history of Shadowforge Fortress, Madolan sighed.
The Dark Forge Fortress was built 20,000 years ago. After the Dark Iron Emperor's rebellion ended the grim rule of the soul-sucking monster, he came here with his surviving relatives and carved this majestic dwarf city out of solid underground rock. .
Lin Qiu admired the ancient reliefs on the stone walls. These reliefs told how a strong dwarf wearing a crown led his people to resist the soul-sucking monsters with tentacles on their chins, wipe out the underground monsters, and build a new home in the underworld.
So, why did this city fall into decline? Looking at those aging houses, Lin Qiu asked curiously.
The demonic invasion destroyed the foundation of the continent. The continent sank. Hot lava gushed out from the cracked strata. The cracks merged into the sea. The lava and sea water completely isolated Darkforge City from the rest of the underworld. A large number of tribes chose to migrate. Darkforge The city gradually fell into decay.
Lin Qiu's eyes lit up: So, Darkforge was originally connected to other underworlds?
Of course, in its heyday, Darkforge was one of the eight major cities of the gray dwarves, and had connections with almost all underground cities. Madolan's breasts swelled, then deflated.
Unfortunately, that was before and now all external channels are down. 393 Half an hour later, Madolan picked up Master Lin Qiu and walked through the Dark Furnace Fortress.
This is all the situation in the inner city. Master, do you want to go and see the outer city.
Inner city? Outer city?
Lin Qiu was thinking in his heart. He felt that the place he entered was a back door, and the Dark Furnace Fortress was built in the rock interlayer of two underground spaces! This is the Dark Furnace Fortress.
Under the leadership of Madolan, Master Lin Qiu passed through the stone pillars of the forest house and came to the exit of the Dark Furnace Fortress gate.
This passage is about fifty meters wide and high. At both ends of the square are huge dwarf stone statues, as high as the passage.
But this passage has not been moved for a long time, and it is full of dust and gravel.
These are the most outstanding dwarf heroes in the history of the bunker. These are the Mogla bunker...
Walking along the crumbling road, Madolan pointed to the tall stone statue and introduced the heroic story of the owner of the stone statue to Lord Linzi, his tone full of longing and sadness.
With an exaggerated tone of half truth and half falsehood, Lord Lin Zexu walked through the passage and opened the two huge stone doors at the end of the passage.
As the dust on the door flew, Master Lin Qiu's vision opened up, and he looked at the scene outside the door in surprise: a crumbling alley, enough for six carriages to ride side by side, extending from Lin Qiu's feet to the bunker The gate of the outer city is two kilometers long.
Looking at the houses lined up on the broad avenue, Lin Qiu could imagine the bustling scene of Shadowforge 20,000 years ago. At that time, the shops along the road looked like paintings and there were many pedestrians on the avenue.
Lin Qiu grabbed the guide and flew into the sky.
Lin Qiu saw that this underground space was much larger than the one he entered, and he could not see the side at a glance. He walked away and looked back at the outer city of Darkforge below, gaining a deeper understanding of the glorious civilization of the gray dwarves.
On the ground below, a twenty-meter-high semicircular city wall protects a city with a unique dwarf architectural style. It is connected to the stone wall at the end of the city. In the center of the circle is the gateway to the inner city of Darkforge. .
The straight alleys connecting the inner and outer gates divide this magnificent city into two perfect quarter circles.
In the sky, Madolan watched the glorious achievements of his ancestors from a bird's eye view for the first time. Suddenly, he remembered the looming sharp blade on the head of the bunker. Maybe Talon's flying mage had a way to do it, and he immediately became worried.
Master! Please, you must save the Dark City!
Well, what's wrong? Feeling the dwarf in his hand, his body suddenly started to tremble with excitement, Lin Qiu asked doubtfully.
After a while, the dwarf suppressed his excitement.
Just before the city, there is a fault in the strata that connects to the sea. Seawater erupts from the fault, flooding the underworld where we are, and continues to expand.
If this continues, after thousands of years, the entire underground space where the Darkfurnace Fortress is located will be submerged by sea water. This is the reason why our people continue to leave the Darkfurnace Fortress.
Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Lin Qiu didn't say anything more, turned around and flew in the direction indicated by the dwarf.
After flying for a while, the sound of water changed from unpleasant at first to deafening.
The falling water collects on the ground and forms a huge lake.
Fortunately, the ground here is at the bottom of a slope, and there are underground passages that can divert the sea water, otherwise Darkforge would have been flooded long ago.
Lin Qiu looked at the sprinkler-like dome above his head and wondered how to plug these holes.
After thinking for a while, Lin Qiu came up with an idea: he flew into the sky and released dragon breath from his mouth into the leaky gap. After a while, the cloth head of the gap car and the sea water in the gap car were frozen by the dragon's breath.
Lin Qiu continued to work on the stone wall, first sealing the cracks with flexible methods of turning fossils into mud and mud into stone, and then attached a magic array to the stone wall to maintain low temperature, completely and permanently freezing the water in the rock.
Lin Qiu spent half a month plugging all the leaks.
During this time, the gray dwarves also gradually recognized their new master.
On the shore of the seawater lake, the gray dwarf prince and Master Lin Qiu stood there looking at the seawater lake. The water level of the seawater lake dropped very slowly.
Have you found the passage through which the Evil Eye Tyrant entered?
Not yet, the clansmen are still searching, I suspect this guy came in from the bottom of the water.
Half a month ago, after Master Lin Qiu learned that the Demonic Eye Tyrant appeared out of thin air, he discussed and confirmed with Solis and finally concluded that the Demonic Eye Tyrant is likely to come from other underground worlds.
The two immediately decided to start looking for the passage from the gray dwarves, but they have worked hard so far, but have still found nothing.
No matter how long it takes, we must find the passage and take it into our own hands.
Yes! Master!
Three days later, Lin Qiu returned to the White Fortress. He was meditating on the Crystal Throne when the ogre guards came in.
Master, the Forgotten adventure party with the singing mermaid requests to meet you. .
