Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Encountering Dwarves for the First Time

A group of short 'people' holding torches stood neatly in front of Nia, but Nia was stunned. These were not human at all.

Nia grabbed Blue Pupil's neck and shook it in the air, "Blue Pupil! These are not humans, they are dwarves! If you make a similar mistake again, I will put you in solitary confinement

Nia's term of confinement refers to throwing Blue Eyes into the space of the demon pet. In fact, although the Pet Space has the ability to help pets recover their state, it is a very boring space. A stronger demon pet can perceive the general situation around its owner inside the demon pet space, but it is not very clear, only enough to judge whether there is danger. And the interior of the demon pet space is a darkness. Although all the demon pets of the same person are in the same demon pet space, Nia did not accept any other pets. Once Blue Eyes entered that space, she could only talk to herself and stay there.

Returning to the main topic, the dwarves in front of us were all holding loyal axes as long as their own height, and seemed ready to strike at any moment.

At this moment, the dwarf in charge walked out. Humans! Speak out your intentions

Nia gave the other person a wizard salute, which is a universal etiquette. Hello, Mr. Dwarf, we have just come out of an underground ruins because the entrance to the ruins accidentally collapsed after we entered, so we had to find another way. Therefore, we apologize for accidentally entering here

The dwarf scratched his head and made no sound. It was obvious that dwarves were a race that didn't like to use their brains. Apart from forging and fighting, their other talents were pitifully scarce. The dwarf was clearly prepared for a fight, charging forward as soon as Nia revealed any purpose, but he didn't know what to do if Nia was so polite.

Well, how did you get here? This road has already been frozen. "After scratching his head for half a day, the dwarf finally asked a more normal question.

We dug a small channel in the frozen soil next to the ice block, which is only 70 centimeters wide. Because the channel sealed by the ice block is only about ten meters long, this method can still be used

When climbing out of the small passage, Nia noticed a large number of cracks on the ice here, but they were not very deep, obviously caused by heavy hammers. This indicates that these dwarves should know the hardness of ice cubes.

After asking this question, the dwarf had nothing else to say. In fact, dwarves still love to chat with people, but only with friends. After hesitating for a while, the dwarf finally spoke up, "Come with us first, I'll take you to see the clan leader

The dwarves clearly believed that under the encirclement of numerous dwarf warriors on their side, the magician Nia would not be able to do anything, so they planned to send Nia to the chieftain's place. Dwarves who can become tribal leaders are quite intelligent.

No problem. Dia, it's okay, return the robe to me

Thirty meters behind Nia, the air twisted and a person emerged, then began to take off her black robe. This action startled the dwarves. Magicians are easy to handle, but assassins are quite tricky, even though Dia is not an assassin but an alchemist.

Dwarves basically live underground, even those living in human cities are no exception, living in basements. Following the winding underground passage, everyone quickly arrived at their lover's residence. In this underground space, there are many small pieces of magic crystals illuminating, so the dwarves extinguished their torches and handed them over to others for safekeeping. These dwarves sent Nia and her two to a room and left.

Because both of them knew that dwarves were a generous race and would not use any tricks on them, they both drank the drinks prepared by the dwarves in this room with peace of mind.

With a soft sound, a dwarf walked in. Because I do not have dwarf bloodline, I only know that this dwarf is not the one I have encountered before, and I cannot distinguish what is different. Just like how ordinary people can't distinguish between two equally snow-white pigeons, it's just that one meaning.

After the dwarf walked in, he sat across from Nia and said, "You two, I am the leader of this dwarf tribe. My name is Thunderhammer, and you can also call me Warhammer. I heard you got lost underground and were brought here

Nia nodded and said, 'It can be said that we are currently looking for an exit. However, a few people have met you, and I think the generous dwarves should be able to escort us out.' Because Dia has been 'sealed' for too long, communication work has been entrusted to Nia for a long time.

Of course, but may I ask if Miss Magician can help us? Only wizards can assist us

As long as it's not beyond my ability, I can help. Also, please call me Nia

Thank you very much, Miss Nia. The situation is that there was a small earthquake six months ago. Originally, the small earthquake was not a big deal, but the accident happened on that day when we were transporting the magic gold forging hammer from a room to the forging room. Unfortunately, due to the earthquake, the person holding the hammer did not hold it and fell into a crack. If it were an ordinary crack, it would be easy to handle, just dig it open. But when we dug it open, we found a magma river below, and the hammer fell onto the protruding stones on the river surface. The temperature of the magma was too high, and sometimes it would even spray out some, so we couldn't get the hammer. If Miss Nia could help us, we could not get the hammer. If we get it, you will become the best friend of the dwarf tribe. You know, without that hammer, we cannot create advanced magical weapons

After listening to the introduction of the Thunderbolt Hammer, Nia decided to get this hammer out. After all, it's not a difficult task. With just a water shield, it can isolate temperature and magma attacks.

When do we start? Although we're not in a hurry, it's better to finish early

Tomorrow at noon. Although we haven't found a way to get it up during this time, we have observed some patterns along the river. Tomorrow at noon, the surface of the magma river will be lower, making it easier to get some. Senno! "Thunderhammer called out a dwarf. Take these two guests to find two vacant rooms and go find the magic gold forging hammer tomorrow noon

So, under the leadership of this dwarf, Nia and the other stayed temporarily, discussing alchemy knowledge to pass the time while waiting for the moment when the magma river level would lower the next day.
