Don't call me evil god

Chapter 947 Clan Inheritance Certification
As we climbed the steps of the throne room, the temperature became warmer and more comfortable as we went deeper into the room.

The deep region is cold most of the time.

The chill comes from the pervasive darkness.

Even if you light a ghost fire to keep warm, the heat it can generate is still a drop in the bucket, and it's better than nothing.

Most of the gray dwarves relied on their thick skin and flesh to withstand the terrible temperature.

They have good physique and are relatively resistant to cold.

The believers of the investigation team had just arrived in the deep area not long ago.

I am quite uncomfortable with this.

There is a lava lake in the stone fortress that serves as a natural heat source. They were so hot that they wanted to take off all their clothes.

We took a large elevator to the deep area, and once the temperature dropped to close to 0 degrees, we needed to put on a warm coat.

Pete had thought that it would be even colder in a cave like the throne room of the Gray Dwarf King, so he put on a warm shirt before setting out. Now he was beginning to feel the heat and was sweating slightly.

The temperature here gave Pete a familiar feeling.

Think about it for a moment.

“It feels a bit like being in the Altar of Creation!”

Whether it is the center of the Misty Valley or the Altar of Creation at the bottom of the Stone Fortress's lava lake, the temperature inside always maintains a comfortable level all year round and has never changed.

Pete perked up immediately.

"Could it be that the throne room that the gray dwarves call... is also an altar of creation?"

With this inexplicable expectation, they walked up the last few steps, and the throne room finally came into view of Pete and Reina.

"Uh……"

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The scene before him made Pete sigh with regret.

The spacious throne room cave was surrounded by burning braziers of ghostly fire, illuminating the place in a bright ghostly blue.

In the center, a magnificent statue stands with dazzling brilliance.

It was a double statue of two dwarves standing back to back.

One of them, with his left hand holding a large wine glass high, and his right hand holding a forging hammer, was facing the anvil in front of him, as if he was about to swing it;
The other one spread his hands flat, palms up, in front of his chest, and a ball of light emitting colorful fantasy colors was suspended in front of him.

This classic shape is easy to recognize.

Dwarves who are good at forging and love fine wine, and gray dwarves who have mastered unique enchanting skills!
The two dwarves depicted in the statue seem to be in close relationship, as if they can trust each other's backs without any worries.

"I thought I'd see another altar of creation..."

Although this magnificent statue was almost perfect in its realistic shape, vivid expression, movement details, etc., Pete was almost certain that it had nothing to do with the altar.

The Gray Dwarf King was originally sitting on the throne behind the statue, concentrating on thinking about something.

Seeing Braum coming, he stood up and walked down from the throne excitedly:

"Brothers from the surface!"

"I am Blaney Groin Dane... Baburin Ironbeard!"

"Welcome, I received the message. Are you in any trouble?"

The gray dwarf king Braum, whose name is very long, stretched out his right hand and pretended to bump fists.

Braum also performed the formal etiquette of a meeting between dwarves in a rather formal manner.

He clenched his left fist and hit his chest, while his right hand collided heavily with the opponent's outstretched fist.

"boom!"

The two fists collided, making a dull sound.

The Gray Dwarf King didn't move at all, but Braum's body swayed and he took a few steps back uncontrollably before he could barely maintain his balance.

Seeing this, the other party burst into laughter:
"Not bad! Not bad!"

"Which clan are you from?"

Bron said frankly and directly: "Freeman, the glorious bloodline of the Frost Clan!"

"I am..." Bron also gave a rather long name in dwarven.

Pete, who was observing secretly, smacked his lips.

"No wonder dwarves value clan inheritance and stick together to exclude outsiders!"

"With just this 'anti-counterfeiting authentication', even if I were to be reborn as a dwarf, I would not be able to fool these ancient clans!"

"This name sounds similar to the name of a dish, and it's all based on facts!"

"If you report one mistake, you'll be exposed!"

Bronn and the gray dwarf king told each other their full names.

This long list of names represents the bloodline inheritance from generation to generation starting from the ancestors of the clan!
For example, the "Groin" and "Dain" in the name of the Gray Dwarf King are the names or nicknames used by his father and grandfather.

Bron responded in the same way.

He also showed off his "clan heritage".

But it's fake.

Except for the Freeman bloodline, that's true.

For the rest of the story, Bron borrowed the identity of a fellow tribesman, a guy who unfortunately died in the previous Stone Castle turmoil.

Impersonation.

The replacement has no objection at all.

After all, he never jumped out to oppose.

After successfully reporting his identity and bumping fists to test his strength, Braum easily gained the recognition of the Gray Dwarf King.

"King Ironbeard, I have come to the Deep Region to tell you some terrible news."

"A few months ago, a major turmoil occurred in Stone Castle, and many descendants of the glorious clan were involved. We were plotted against by the cultists, who tried to summon terrifying monsters to destroy our home!"

This was the message Pete had designed to send to Bron.

After Braum confirmed it, he copied it word for word.

Said everything and said nothing.

No specific details were revealed.

The Gray Dwarf King was stunned for a moment, then confirmed:
"Cultist?"

Pete continued to "play for me" and quickly edited the new message:

"Yes! A group of cultists with unknown identities and secretive whereabouts!"

"They were hiding inside the stone fort, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and bewitched some dwarves to stir up unrest!"

"According to the clues we got from our investigation, those guys may have taken advantage of the chaos to escape into the Abyss after their conspiracy was shattered!"

"We need your help!"

In the speech that Pete prepared for Bron, he buried a trap for the Gray Dwarf King and quietly guided the topic.

They have not yet determined whether this gray dwarf king is a friendly party that can be won over, or an enemy who has been bewitched and influenced by the cultists, or is simply a member of the cultists!
Through the use of dialogue, analyze the detailed clues that may be revealed in the other party's language.

The Gray Dwarf King laughed easily:
“Escape into the abyss? Hahahaha!”

"Don't worry, boy from the Freeman clan!"

"This is the Deep Region!"

“This is our home ground!”

"No matter which god those guys believe in, as long as they come to the Abyss, their god can't save them!"

"In this place, the three dark gods who protect us are the only ones worthy of our faith!"

"Cultist?"

"I'll make sure he never comes back!"
