Chapter 137 Dwarf Kingdom
"Blackrock City is the current main city of the hill dwarves." Si Luoluo said, pointing to a city on the hillside in front.

Lu Ran looked around.

The city is medieval in style, but not old overall.

You can vaguely see dwarves coming in and out of the city gate.

But there was no sign of humans.

After all, this is still a forbidden area, and Lu Ran and his group are the first human beings to set foot here.

But Lu Ran felt a little confused.

"Hill dwarves are a branch of the dwarves, also called crypt dwarves, but why are they not in caves, but in cities above the surface?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

Before coming here, Si Luoluo introduced some information about the hill dwarves.

Liu Xinxin also talked about the records about hill dwarves in some ancient books and materials she had seen.

It is true that hill dwarves are also called crypt dwarves. They live in caves under the hills, which are interconnected. This also causes the skin of hill dwarves to be much whiter than that of other branches of dwarves, but their stature is also shorter, making it convenient for them to move underground.

"They did live underground before, but after the world was digitized, the world structure and terrain changed greatly. The hill dwarves were forced to leave the underground and build their main city on the ground. At the same time, they made arrangements to take back the previous dungeons." Si Luoluo introduced.

Done.

He then added after a pause, "According to the rules of your human race's quest system, the quest that is triggered by your quest scroll when you go to Blackrock City this time is most likely related to the former crypt, but I don't know what the specific quest is."

It turned out to be the case.

Although Lu Ran still didn't understand, after the terrain changed and they had the ability to build a city, why didn't they reopen the cave and return underground?

But Si Luoluo probably only has a vague understanding of it.

After all, she is not a natural elf, but a degenerated dark elf.

and.

Even for the nature elves, after the world was digitized, the covenant with the dwarves became meaningless and the connection between them was not close.

Moreover, the main city of the hill dwarves is in the human world, but the nature elves exist as an independent copy, which also makes Lu Ran feel a little strange.

"Then let's go to the main city first." Lu Ran said thoughtfully.

Subsequently.

Several people went to Black Stone City.

The moment we arrived at the city gate.

Ding!
[Trigger the task, please check in time! ]

Lu Ran was stunned.

Is this the trigger?
He originally thought that he needed to enter Blackrock City or meet the dwarf chieftain in order to trigger the quest.

I didn't expect it to be triggered as soon as I got close to Black Rock City.

He paused, took out the scroll and looked at it.

The scroll at this time had lost its original traces of decay and vicissitudes, and it was now shining and the map was clearer.

Simultaneously.

In the task system, a new task has also appeared: [Continuation of the Eternal Flame]

[Mission: Continuation of the Eternal Flame (I)]

[Goal: Meet the Dwarf King and gain his approval]

[Reward: 500 million experience points! ]

Lu Ran frowned.

The reward is only 5 million experience points?

Although it is not a small amount, compared with such a dangerous act of entering the forbidden area, these 5 million experience points are a bit too meager.

But he reacted immediately.

The word "1" is written after the task, which means that this is a series of tasks, not a delayed task. The current goal is to meet the Dwarf King and gain his approval.

This is much simpler.

Just meeting the Dwarf King will give you 5 million experience points, which is really not a small amount.

Then, Lu Ran told the mission to Liu Xinxin and others.

"Then it should be a series of tasks. Sure enough, the scrolls that lead to the forbidden area are not ordinary stuff. The rewards for the series of tasks will be progressive, and the comprehensive rewards are extremely generous. Lu Ran, you are going to make a lot of money this time." Liu Xinxin said enviously.

at this time.

Outside the east gate of Blackrock City.

The dwarves coming and going all stopped and looked at Lu Ran and others with curious eyes.

Here, you can clearly see common professions such as dwarf warriors and mages.

There are also some dwarf merchants, ordinary residents and the like.

His height is indeed shorter than that of normal dwarves.

The tallest ones couldn’t reach Lu Ran’s thighs, and the lowest ones only reached Lu Ran’s knees.

Taking a quick glance at the whole thing, I felt it was very strange, as if I had turned into a giant.

But the dwarves are not humans in reduced proportion. They have big heads, mature faces, and short but very strong limbs.

Especially those dwarf berserkers. Although they look short, they are covered with muscles. You can feel the explosive power contained in them just by looking at them!
"These are all dwarves, most of whom are dwarves after the world was digitized. They have never come into contact with humans, so they are very curious, but not hostile. Dwarves themselves are not warlike. Although they are not on good terms with humans, they do not hate them either." Si Luoluo introduced.

Lu Ran nodded.

But suddenly, I discovered that there were some dwarves with green skin and pointed ears like goblins among the dwarf tribe.

Confused, he asked, "Are they also dwarves? Why do they look different?"

Si Luoluo shook her head and said, "No, those are goblins. Goblins roam among various races, and there are a lot of merchants among them. The Goblin Chamber of Commerce is spread all over the world and is very powerful. In the former human territory, there was also a Goblin Chamber of Commerce. It's just that after the digitization, your new human race has a new main city, and the Goblin Chamber of Commerce has not yet moved in."

Si Luoluo seemed to know all this very well.

All of Lu Ran’s questions can be answered.

And she was right.

Although the dwarves do not have close relations with humans, they do not hate humans either.

When Lu Ran and his companions walked into the city gate, the guards just glanced at them and ignored them.

However, a group of curious dwarves following behind made Lu Ran and others feel a little embarrassed, like monkeys being watched.

The style of Black Rock City is very different from human buildings. It is not regular or low, but very tall, and the roads inside are intricate.

Lu Ran and his companions had no direction and didn't even know where to find the Dwarf King.

I don’t know where the Dwarf King’s royal city is in Blackrock City.

"It's so small, but this building is more majestic and taller than human buildings. It's just that the road is rugged, winding and too messy." Lu Ran muttered.

The road goes up and down, through tunnels, and is crisscrossed and divided into several levels.

It was such a mess, it was just whatever one wanted!
"Dwarves are good at casting, but not at construction. They build in whatever way is convenient. However, there is no problem with the sturdiness of the buildings." Si Luoluo said casually.

"What should we do now? Where can we find the Dwarf King? Si Luoluo, do you know?" Lu Ran asked.

This time, the knowledgeable Si Luoluo also shook her head.

"I don't know. I only know that Blackstone City was built by the hill dwarves later, and I have never been there."

But right now.

Suddenly, a dwarf girl holding a sledgehammer appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

After staring at Lu Ran and the others for a while, he shouted, "Friends of the Human Race, why did you come to Black Rock City? Do you need any help? The price is negotiable!"
