Chapter 200 The Subterranean Dwarf
Lu Ping searched tens of meters along the sloping cave, but he didn't see a single monster. He couldn't help being suspicious. Why is there no monster here?

The cave continued downwards. After walking for a while, Firebird lost his composure and ran out by himself, shouting, "Let's hurry up, and there are no monsters. When will we be lingering?"

Lu Ping said angrily: "The biggest danger is the danger you can't see. Go back and don't cause trouble for me."

"Why did I get you into trouble? Aren't I always helping you? Even this silly boy can follow you, why can't I?"

Lu Ping turned his head and glanced at Long Chen. This wild boy is really weird and mysterious. He can speak dragon language and show dragon power, and monsters don't attack him. Is it a human or a dragon?

Lu Ping stopped: "Long Chen, why do you speak Dragon Language?"

Long Chen looked blank: "Ooh, I don't know, I know it since I was a child."

Firebird said: "Then why did you pretend that you didn't understand when I asked you in dragon language? It seems that you are also a cunning and cunning man who hides evil intentions!"

Long Chen still shook his head blankly: "I don't even understand you, Long Yu."

Lu Ping said: "But you can understand the dragon language spoken by the golden dragon. Could it be that the dragon language is also divided into different countries?"

Firebird pretended to be enlightened: "I understand. I speak the authentic dragon language, but he can speak the third-rate dragon language, so it can't understand my dragon language. The old crazy dragon can speak the authentic dragon language. language, and third-rate dragon language, so it can understand my dragon language and his dragon language at the same time."

It spoke quickly and urgently like a tongue twister, making circles in Lu Ping's eyes, but Lu Ping also understood what was going on.

The phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast, and it can speak multiple languages ​​as soon as its intelligence is opened. It should be a very ancient dragon language, and it can also be said to be an authentic dragon language.And the "Dragon Language" that Long Chen spoke of was just some words and syllables, specious, just like a person who just learned English with limited hearing, unable to understand fast English conversations.Huo Niao spoke as fast as a cannonball, Long Chen couldn't understand, Jin Long repeated some words several times when he cursed people before, so he was able to translate them.

Since this is the case, the system's setting for Long Chen is a person who is proficient in dragon language and has some relationship with the dragon clan. Maybe he has a little "dragon aura" on him, so monsters don't attack him.After figuring this out, Lu Ping is no longer surprised. Long Chen should be a human or half-orc, a fool who can't speak both human language and dragon language clearly, but he doesn't know what else he has.

The fire bird would emit red light, and now it was a torch, and there were no monsters, so Lu Ping quickened his pace.

The cave has been extending downwards, and it is getting wider and wider. There is a fork, and it turns out to be a huge underground world.Lu Ping just walked down the largest passage, and after walking for a while, there was finally movement ahead, and a few green dots appeared on the small radar map.

There are neutral creatures here?Lu Ping was very surprised. The green dots in front might have spotted him too. When he moved to this side, there was a "rustling" sound before he saw anyone, like some animal's paws rubbing against the rocks.

Two huge reptiles appeared in the darkness ahead, resembling huge cockroaches as a whole, with a pair of large claws in front.

"℃%￡$‰''￡￥..."

There was a strange sound from the back of the giant cockroach. At this moment, Lu Ping realized that there was a person standing on it. Because he was too short and the light was dim, he didn’t realize it until he opened his mouth—it was a little shorter than a dwarf. dwarf!

Dwarfs are generally 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall, and the shortest is 1.2 meters. The two dwarves riding on the back of giant cockroaches are only about [-] to [-] centimeters. They wear hard leather helmets and armor, and hold A thin spear, dressed like a warrior, but reminiscent of a child playing house.

"∈∵∫∮℃￡￡, ℃%￡￡￡‰!" Seeing that Lu Ping didn't answer, the dwarf uttered a series of strange words, and seemed a little angry.

Firebird said: "This should be the language of dwarves...¤¤‰", ￠%℃￡$‰..."

The dwarf on the left said: "∫∮℃#·*,∈∵￡$‰..."

"..."

One person and one bird chattered non-stop, causing Lu Ping to hear question marks all over his head. It turns out that Firebird can also speak dwarf language, so I really underestimated it.

"Hey, can you translate for me, children, don't make up your own mind to talk to strangers, okay?"

Firebird finally spoke human language: "There is nothing to translate. He asked who we are and where we come from. I asked them who they are and why they are here. He said that their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they have never been outside." People' came. They didn't welcome 'outsiders' and told us to leave... that's about it."

"Oh, you didn't talk about eggs, did you?"

"You think I'm an idiot!"

Huo Niao reprimanded Lu Ping, and talked to the dwarf about bird language. Lu Ping could only stare blankly. It was so frustrating not knowing foreign languages!

There are more than two dwarfs, and there are several dwarves riding giant cockroaches in the darkness behind them, holding staffs in their hands, and the gemstones on the head of the staffs are shining brightly. You can see that they are wearing tall hats with pointed peaks and colorful mages. robes, the rest are hidden in darkness.

All dwarves have long beards, they look a bit like dwarves, but they are not as strong as dwarves, and their waists are much thinner. The two warriors in front are not wearing steel armor but hard leather armor, probably the leather of giant cockroaches. made.

Firebird talked with the dwarf for a while, seeming to convince him, the dwarf warrior kept nodding.Firebird proudly said to Lu Ping: "Master, they believe that we are not hostile, and agreed to let us visit their castle."

Lu Ping rolled his eyes: "Why do you always like to make your own decisions? Have I agreed to visit their castle?"

Firebird said with a sinister smile: "How can we find what we want if we don't go to visit? A strong general has no weak soldiers, and I am absolutely reliable and efficient in my work!"

Lu Ping was completely speechless, he couldn't speak dwarf language, so he had to let the firebird go.

The dwarves turned around and walked back. Only then did Lu Ping see everyone clearly. There were seven dwarfs in total, two warriors, two mages, and three archers, all of whom were riding giant strange cockroaches about three meters long.The warrior and the archer sit directly on the same saddle, while the mage sits in a large basket that looks like a car with no roof, and the large basket is fixed on the back of the giant cockroach.

On the way forward, Firebird continued to chat with the dwarf warrior, sometimes translating a few words for Lu Ping.It turned out that this team was a dwarf patrol, and it was far away from their underground castle. They also knew that there was a huge dragon above this passage, and they never dared to go up, and no one or other creatures came down from it. .

"Master, I don't think they stole it. They are a very timid race, and they don't have the guts to do this."

"Then what are we going to do?"

Firebird exaggeratedly called out: "555... I'm just speculating boldly and verifying it carefully. Even if it's not us, there is nothing to lose, right?"

Lu Ping laughed and said, "They've never seen a bird like you, so they carefully tricked you into a cage, put it on the fire and grilled it to eat."

"Don't master know that I am not afraid of ordinary fire?"

"Uh……"

The dwarf's castle was far beyond Lu Ping's expectations. After walking along the winding tunnel for an hour or two, he probably already reached the bottom of Tianzhu Peak, but he still didn't see the shadow of the castle.On the road, I met a few teams of dwarf patrols and cargo teams, some riding giant cockroaches, or riding strange lizards with shells like rocks. The underground passages extend in all directions, as if it is a world unknown to outsiders.

Leng Wa, An Li and the others waited for a long time on the fourth floor of the mine. They had already changed shifts twice, and they were already impatient.Lu Ping reckoned that he would not be able to go back the same way, and it would be pointless for them to wait any longer, so he asked them to go back first. Even if the monsters on the third floor were spawned, there were enough potions to dispel petrification, and with their strength, they could still Killed back.

Lu Ping, Long Chen, and Huo Niao followed the dwarves and walked for more than half an hour. At around seven o'clock in the morning, they approached the place where the dwarves lived.

Lu Pingyuan thought that dwarves lived in small dark caves, but they did not expect that they also built houses. They built houses with hard and neat rocks in huge caves, or spiers or domes. Patterns, many houses constitute a village inhabited.

Luminous objects of different shapes are inlaid on many roofs, emitting a hazy brilliance, and the whole underground world seems to be immersed in the night with a little moonlight.

"Wow, what a big mouse!" Lu Ping suddenly exclaimed. In a fence at the back of a house, five or six huge mice with a length of more than one meter were eating food leisurely. They were so fat that they could hardly walk. Moved.

Firebird said: "Don't make a fuss, it's not a mouse, it's a 'pig' they raised."

Lu Ping was not convinced: "How do you know it's a 'pig', maybe a 'sheep'?"

"I asked them."

"..." Lu Ping was speechless, it's hard work not being able to speak a foreign language, and being beaten by a bird made him speechless.

Seeing them approaching, many dwarf residents stopped to watch and pointed. Lu Ping couldn't help asking, "What are they talking about?"

The fire bird looked left and right in a high-spirited manner: "The old man on the left said you two are so tall, where do you sleep at night? His grandson asked, why didn't you touch the bag on your head? The young couple on the right Discussing, you are so tall, it is too inconvenient to do things at night, the bottom cannot reach the top, and the top cannot reach the bottom...Master, why is it so troublesome?"

"..." Lu Ping was speechless again.

Passing through the town, there is a huge underground space in front of you. Because the light is not bright enough, you can’t even see the boundary with your eyesight. It is estimated that the height is hundreds of meters and the width is hundreds of meters. A majestic ancient castle is located in this huge underground space. inside the space.Although the dwarves were short, the castle they built was not short. The city walls were at least ten meters high. Its shape was not much different from that of the human cities, only the difference in the style of the buildings.

There are many dwarf archers and mages on the top of the city, and there are also two rows of dwarf warriors standing neatly at the gate of the city. Although they are ridiculously short, they also have a bit of awe.Lu Ping couldn't tell what their level was. It was estimated to be above level 80. The NPC army had never seen anyone below level 80, so these short guys were not ridiculous at all. Just a single move of a finger could kill him instantly.

The group of people at the gate of the city came to welcome Lu Ping, which made Lu Ping a little flattered. What was depressed was that he couldn't understand anything, and it was completely up to Firebird to communicate. What kind of sugar-coated shells did Firebird use to make them so enthusiastic? Got it.

At this time, Lu Ping was also a little puzzled. If the dwarf stole the dragon egg, he would be guilty of a thief, so it is impossible to welcome them like this; if the dwarf did not steal it, then who would it be?Such a huge underground world, even if he was allowed to search without any obstacles, he might not be able to find it in ten days and half a month. Where can he find the dragon egg? SS-level hidden missions are not so easy to complete!
The person in charge of welcoming Lu Ping was a dwarf named Nauru, who was wearing an overly fancy robe that was dragged on the ground behind him, a pointed hat about a foot high on his head, and a large number of pearls, jade and gemstones hanging on his chest, shoulders and waist.If he had stood on the stage, anyone would have taken him for a clown, but here he stood, with a dignified face, and he was a high official.

According to Firebird's report, Nauru's position here is the chief executive, which is equivalent to the prime minister and chief speaker of the human kingdom. Because the king is sick and cannot personally receive him, he presides over the welcome ceremony.

Lu Ping quietly asked Huo Niao: "How did you lie to them, that even the chief executive came to greet us in person?"

Firebird rolled his eyes: "Do I need to lie? I am the holy phoenix, a high-level creature as powerful as a giant dragon, and I am like a god in front of humble and cowardly creatures like them! Although I am still young It’s a little bit, but since ancient times, heroes born young, born with phoenix qualities, it’s already negligent for them to come to greet them with just a few people, it should be decorated with lanterns and festoons, the whole country celebrates, and the world is amnesty..."

"It's just you!" Lu Ping gave it a hard look, "I always feel that something is wrong, just don't be self-righteous and end up trapping me!"

"Absolutely not, and there will be a sumptuous feast waiting for us soon."

Lu Ping immediately thought of the big rats he saw just now, and the big cockroaches that the dwarves were riding.
Nauru and fifty or sixty soldiers escorted them into the city with one bird, and there were countless dwarves on both sides of the street watching. It seemed that they were just surprised by the two tall men and a strange talking bird, and they were not hostile. Doubtful, but not particularly worried.

Entering the castle, there was indeed a banquet set up inside, accompanied by three dwarf officials who were dressed similarly to Nauru, it was nothing more than the first time a human race came to visit, it was a great honor, the divine bird appeared in the world and auspicious and so on—anyway, the fire bird Translated like this, the dwarf official also looks very humble.

When the guests and hosts are seated, the dishes on the table can't be seen to be processed with anything. Lu Ping really has no appetite, but he has to drink the wine they offer you. It would be too impolite not to drink.There are many people in the family, and the level is high. If there is hostility, you only need to give an order, so you will never put poison in the wine. It doesn't matter whether it is made of mouse urine or cockroach urine, and pour it into your mouth with your eyes closed. went……

Well, it actually tastes pretty good.

Seeing that Lu Ping drank, Long Chen also poured a glass of wine into his mouth; Huo Niao was showing off today, proud of himself, and even put his beak into the wine glass to drink.

As soon as a glass of wine was poured into his mouth, Lu Ping felt that things in front of him began to shake, and his vision became blurred. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and hurriedly wanted to jump up, but found that his whole body was weak, so he fell softly like this .

Nauru, who didn't know how to speak "human language", laughed loudly, and said in human language: "You can't blame me for sending it to your door, haha..."
