MTL - Death Notice-v11 Chapter 76 Shield dwarf camp
?
The valley where the dwarf camp is located has a large belly and a gourd shape. The mountain walls in the northeast of the valley are very steep, but the west is a gentle slope, full of coniferous trees.
The innermost part of the valley has a narrow slit that slopes downwards. The inside is similar to the underground caverns that were sent by the Qinlun and others from the candle castle to the north, where the original stalactites and stalagmites are everywhere.
The Shield Dwarf intends to recapture the outpost camp of the Secret Bank, where it is stationed in this cave.
The Mithril Hall is the most famous dwarf fortress in the North and even in Feren. It used to belong to the brilliant Warhammer family. Now it is the shadow of the Shadow Dragon and the Grey Dwarf. The main part of this dwarf fortress is located in the hillside of the ridge of the world. Some of the city's affiliated mines are deep into the dark areas. The stone gates are halfway up the world's ridge. Only a long and narrow stone ladder road leads to it.
This position is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Without sufficient air power, it is almost impossible to break through the front door of the Secret Bank. In this situation, the shield dwarves had to find another way. They intend to enter the dark area first, and then attack the secret silver hall from the originally abandoned underground mining area of the Secret Bank.
However, there are certain difficulties in implementing this method. That is, today's shield dwarves almost no one remembers the underground mining line hundreds of years ago.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Secret Bank was occupied by the Shadow Dragon, the Dwarf King Bruno Warhammer was still in his childhood, and his father died in the war.
Because the disaster came too suddenly, although the seniors of the shield dwarf struggled to fight, they did not stop the dragon for a long time. In addition to escaping some old and weak women and children, the entire secret silver hall was buried in Longkou, and naturally it did not bring out any city maps.
Since it is impossible to storm the gate of the castle halfway up the mountain and there is no road map of the underground mining area, the Dwarf King has to resist the temper to find the surface cracks near the foot of the secret silver hall, and slowly explore the underground passage until the dark area of the piece is found. Let the main force attack the secret silver hall.
In fact, when Qin Lun entered the world of Torrell and hit Lorraine, the work had begun.
However, after more than four months of exploration, the shield dwarves confirmed from the dozens of underground caves that three places can truly lead to the dark areas, and the other caves are dead ends.
The three sites that have been confirmed, one of them at a depth of several hundred meters underground, have encountered a bottomless gully, and the expedition team can no longer move forward. Along the way to the second passage, there are several dangerous biological nests. If you want to attack, the loss will be too big to bear, so it will be abandoned.
Only the current swell cave conditions of the outpost camp are the best, the direction of the passage is also correct, and the depth of the underground is closest to the original Miyin Hall mining area.
This is not to say that this cave must be connected to the underground mine, but the dwarves do not care about this. As long as the direction is right, even if the last section of the road is blocked by rock formations, they are confident that the mine in their hands will open a passage.
Of course, the best underground cavern in this condition is only relative to the first two. In fact, several dwarf exploration teams that entered the dark area in front have different degrees of personnel loss and eventually have to return to the camp.
There are many kinds of dangers they encounter, some are topographical relationships, some are poisonous gases associated with ore, and some are nests of underground creatures. In short, all kinds of strange and strange, the danger of the ground can not touch, in the dark area is just a normal state.
"Qin Lun, have not received the task reminder!" On the night of entering the camp, the apostles began to be impatient.
Especially the Qinlun three, their stay time is running low, the latest until tomorrow night, if they have not received the task, they have to return to the broken starry sky.
"If this particular area can't trigger the story mission, I'm afraid we have to take the initiative." Hill said calmly.
There are three main types of different missions performed by the apostles. The first one is the guided missions and the preset mainline missions arranged in advance by the broken starry sky. The second type is the passively-triggered hidden spurs of the apostles when they perform the main task. In general, most of these tasks are the lack of original data for the broken starry sky, and the historical plots that were obtained with the apostles' activeness.
The last one is that when the apostles interact with the plot characters, the sudden changes in the plots are mostly from the plot missions that were not in history.
The epic plot of the Secret Bank series belongs to the second hidden spur line. The apostles want to receive this task. There are two ways to do this, either in a specific area or in a specific plot.
It is well understood in a specific area. If Qin Lun and others can encounter a shield dwarf in the vicinity of the secret silver hall to fight the Shadow Dragon or the Grey Dwarf, then they can choose to help one of them, which naturally triggers this epic plot.
Qin Lun and others had hoped that this task could be triggered in the outpost camp of the shield dwarf, but now it seems to have been ruined. As for the passage to find the secret silver hall in the dark area alone, it is extremely difficult and basically impossible.
Excluding this choice, Qin Lun and others can only take this task from a specific plot character. At this time, there are only two plot characters who can give this task to the apostles. One is the legendary strongman of the shield dwarf Gilliam Man hammer, and the other is the snow peak dwarf lord Lorraine.
Gilliam has rejected the Qinle, the elf prince. It is estimated that Qin Lun and others will not agree to join the exploration team of the Secret Bank. The only hope left is Lorraine alone.
However, now Lorraine is not the dwarf prince who was killed in Iron Star. After that adventure, the dwarf boy has grown a lot. Although Qin Lun is still a friend, he will not rely on him without reservation.
Too much forcing the dwarf boy, if he is not good, he will be suspicious and doubtful about Qin Lun’s motives.
Of course, this is not to say that Qin Lun and others have no choice.
If they forced Lorraine into the dark area, it might trigger this epic plot. But as a result, they will have no retreat. Unless the sterling hall is successfully found and proves that his actions are helping the dwarf, the angry dwarves will instead treat them as enemies.
This method is very unacceptable, whether it is the Qinlun three, or the Weiss team can not easily implement. The reason is very simple. After the shield dwarves set up the outpost camp here, they have not been able to find a breakthrough for several months. Qin Lun and others are arrogant and will not think that they are more suitable for exploration in the dark areas than the shield dwarves.
"You are too anxious, isn't there a whole natural day?" Weiss's calm words appeared on the team channel.
Their team stayed a few more days than Qin Lun and others, but if Qin Lun returned to the stars, they had to take the initiative to leave the dwarf camp. Their identity on the bright side is the mercenary who protects the elf prince. If Qin Lun disappears for no reason, the shield dwarves do not doubt that they are strange.
"At dusk, I asked the monkeys to explore the camp, but I found some clues." Weiss said with a sigh, they are now a grasshopper on a rope, and naturally they will not hide the information.
"What kind of clue?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, here shows the importance of the thief profession. Although Qin Lun and Hill's strategy are good, but lack of buffer time, they can not get the speed of intelligence than the thieves.
"Perhaps different from our imagination, although the shield dwarf has not been able to find the secret silver hall in the past few months, it should have had some clues." Weiss thought, "The monkeys heard the news, the latest batches The dwarf explorers who came back mentioned a piece of woodland! Different batches of exploring players mentioned the same place. You should understand what this represents?"
"Well, this means that the dwarves have been moving in the same direction, not searching without purpose." Qin Lun thoughtfully touched his chin. "It seems that the old guy really doesn't trust us, maybe I should let Ilistin go to Lorraine..."
Compared with Qin Lun, Lorraine’s alertness to Ilistin and Idria is not so strong. It’s just that Idrija won’t do “private work” for Qin Lun, and Ilistin is less likely to talk about it. It’s estimated that he can only try it.
"Try it first. If we really can't set up the task clues, we have to forcibly take Lorraine." Qin Lun shrugged helplessly. Anyway, their stay time was running low, and they returned to the stars at most during the exploration. Abandoning this epic plot, it doesn't matter if you don't sin.
......
The night faded slowly, and the warm sunlight illumined an area of the cavern. Most of the campfires in the camp had been extinguished, leaving only a few light invisible light smoke.
On the open space outside the camp, many dwarves have been practicing martial arts and dining.
Qin Lun got out of his tent and stretched out, thinking about how to get to Ilistin. Although the elf Druid likes him, but the kind-hearted elf beauty is also unwilling to deceive Lorraine for him.
Maybe only use the great meaning of the moon elves to persuade her! Qin Lun had a headache, and he was not forced to reluctantly force Elystin.
Just as Qin Lun organized his words in his mind, there was a groan in the depths of the cave. Several dwarf guards in the depths of the caves and the entrance to the dark areas hurriedly carried a wounded person to the center of the camp.
"It was the dwarf who explored the dark areas in the past... Maybe this is an opportunity!" Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. From the wounded costume, he immediately saw that it was a member of the expedition.
Qin Lun greeted the team channel and rushed to the dwarf guards without hesitation, stopping several people before they reported to Gilliam.
"He was very hurt, let me see!" Qin Lun reached out and stopped the guard. He took an injection from his arms and waited for the dwarf guard to open his mouth and injected it directly into the injured neck.
The seriously injured dwarf quickly floated a blush on his face and slowly opened his eyes. When the Dwarf Guards saw this scene, they could not help but relax, and the tight expression eased.
"What did the expedition encounter?~www.novelbuddy.com~ Are there other people besides you?" Qin Lun let the guards drop the wounded, took the water bladder they carried, and carefully fed him a few mouthfuls of water.
The dwarf of the expedition broke an arm and a large hollow in the chest, which is already in the stage of dying.
However, under the strong stimulation of the pharmacy, he insisted: "He...they..."
The dwarf just spit out a few words, and the body showed a strong sputum, the eyelids lost their luster, and the pupils slowly dispersed. The injection that Qin Lun gave him was too irritating, and the disguise accelerated the death of the dwarf.
"What do you say... um, um!" Qin Lunfu lowered his body and put his ears to the mouth of the dwarf. He nodded slightly from time to time.
"He died..." Qin Lun sighed in a pretentious manner, his face said to the guards nearby. "They are not far from the entrance. You are going to report to Gilliam and Prince Lorraine. I am with me." Several followers first went to rescue the trapped exploration team members."
Just finished, Qin Lun did not wait for these dwarf guards to respond, and Hill and Weiss, who had received news from a distance, made a look, with a few apostles quickly reaching the depths of the cave. The entrance to the dark area ran.
