Huh? Are they all real?...

Moen said incredulously:

"You don't even know the details of the bow the goddess gave you, and you even lost it in the Seven Hills?!"

Because it concerned the goddess, Lily completely lost her composure.

“I, I, I couldn’t bear to part with the arrows I brought from the valley, so I wanted the dwarves to make me a batch of practice arrows. But the dwarf said that this bow was very rare.”

"They also said that arrows for this level of bow should ideally be custom-made, and at the very least, the shaft should be made of birch heartwood."

"And his shop had no stock left, so, so."

Moen covered his face and said:

"So you left the bow at Qiqiu and went out to find materials to make arrow shafts?"

What the goddess bestows, she surely wants to make perfect.

Who knew that this trip would lead to trouble?

"Yes, yes. Who would have thought they would suddenly attack Qiqiu!"

Lily was truly on the verge of tears. She had specifically asked the elves patrolling the edge of the Sacred Tree to use a teleportation array to send her directly to Seven Hills, where she found the best dwarven arrow maker.

She even heard that the Northern Merchants Union was going to apologize to the dwarves that same day.

Who knew that less than an hour after she excitedly went out, the dwarf was betrayed!

That was a bow given to her by the goddess!

She left it at Qiqiu without even having a chance to warm it up.

She couldn't even imagine what she would do if she really lost the bow!

Therefore, she only wanted to cooperate with Moen after discovering that Moen might want to enter Seven Hills.

Because this matter had almost reached the point where she would stop at nothing to achieve it.

Moen, also exasperated, said:

"How dare you leave that bow inside during such a sensitive time of year? Couldn't you have carried it with you at all times?"

"The dwarf said he needed to first make an arrow pattern based on the bow, which was very time-consuming, and suggested I leave the bow with him."

Lily was filled with deep regret.

When she arrived, everyone was saying that the Northern Business Alliance had backed down, but who knew they were playing dirty tricks!

Moreover, they immediately smashed down the iron gate, turning the entire Qiqiu into a dumpling almost instantly.

She can't get in now, and she doesn't dare to leave at all.

But upon hearing this, Lily's ears drooped even lower as she whispered:

"What's the story behind that bow? It's not some extremely important one, is it?"

Moen looked at Lily with a complicated expression and said:

"That bow has no notable battle achievements, nor is it a legendary weapon. It was simply a gift from the Eternal King to Shadow."

A gift from the Eternal King to Her Majesty the Goddess?!

How could the goddess give me something so important?!

And then I left it in Seven Hills?!

Lily nearly suffered a cardiac arrest, but she didn't know that Moen did too.

Moen roughly guessed the answer to why Shadow gave that bow to Lily.

That is, the goddess wanted to use the bow and her connection to it as 'bait'.

With Ms. Lily, with whom he already has a mystical entanglement, the distance between them will only grow closer.

Lily, who has now run into herself again, is the best proof of that!

The more you try to escape, the closer you get.

Oh my goodness.

This is practically a curse!

What leaves Moen speechless is still...

If Lily doesn't get the bow back, the goddess might just come over. Because something's clearly wrong here.

What should I do then?

Moen didn't know, but he knew he definitely didn't want this to happen.

What's even more frustrating is that if Moen doesn't want this to happen, he has to cooperate with Lily.

Even so, he was still getting closer to the goddess.

In comparison, Moen realized that Princess Ansa was incredibly gentle compared to Rose Lorrian's methods.

No, if I delay like this, who knows what Ansa will do.

Ugh, the more I think about it, the more devastated I feel. If only I had been a human back then!

Moen smiled sadly to himself and said:

“I understand. I will help you, but after it’s done, you leave. Long Ears doesn’t need to be involved in our affairs with the dwarves.”

What's going on between us and the dwarves?

This guy seems to be hiding a lot of things.

But that's not important. What's important is that he promised himself!

"Yes, sir, I'll leave immediately if I can get my bow back!"

If the goddess's bow weren't still inside, who would stay in a place like the battlefield?

"Come with me."

"I know of a secret passage, but I don't know if it's still usable."

-

Following his memory and referring to the map, Moen led Lily to a lakeside.

Here, separated from the Seven Hills, lies an almost vertical cliff, which has been powerfully sealed by the brother of King Turin, the last dwarf god, the Wrath of the Earth.

This seal will refuse passage to any living being.

In this respect, both the dwarves inside and the allied forces outside are the same.

So there's almost nothing alive here.

At most, it's just some animals.

Looking at the lake in front of her and the cliffs behind her, Lily asked curiously:

"I've been here before, but I couldn't get through. The seal of the Earth's Wrath rejects everything. Why did you bring me here?"

Looking at the sheer cliff before him, Moen said with a touch of nostalgia:

"Because there is a door here."

Chapter 110 The Great Bell Rings Once, the Warriors Return (3k)

After saying this, Moen glanced regretfully at the lake in front of the cliff, lamenting that he hadn't found a suitable monster to put in as a monitor in the water.

This was one of Moen's biggest regrets back then.

Moen then looked behind him. From the outside, all that could be seen behind him was a smooth wall between two holly trees.

And when Moen placed his hand on the stone wall.

Ancient inscriptions lit up, and a silver-white archway appeared in an instant. Below the archway was an anvil and a hammer, and above it hung a crown and a moon.

The Gate of Seven Hills symbolizes the friendship between dwarves and vampires.

It was once just a playful thought of Moen's, but later, its existence and symbolic meaning became truly deserved!

However, to this day, both the dwarves and the vampires have forgotten the existence of this door.

When the existence of the door is forgotten, naturally no one will remember the key to open it.

Fortunately, Moen remembered.

"I bet absolutely no one knows about the existence of this door, and you actually do?!"

Lily looked around at the traces, and it was clear that no one had been here for at least several hundred years.

Looking at the lit-up Gates of the Seven Hills, Moen said calmly:

“Miss, this world is vast, and many things have indeed been completely forgotten. But there are also many things that have not been forgotten by people and the world; they are simply left in books and remain unknown because no one reads them.”

Lily stopped talking and instead asked curiously:

"Anvil and hammer, crown and moon—these are the only four symbols on the door. Do you know what each one represents?"

"Two kings and two gods. This door once symbolized the friendship between the dwarves and the vampires, and also the friendship between the two kings."

"The anvil represents King Turin, and the hammer represents his brother, the Wrath of the Earth."

"The crown represents the Moon King, while the moon is the Dark Moon. This door was also jointly created by the Moon King and the King of Turin."

This is a very long and profound history, but Lily did not hear the deep longing hidden in Moen's words.

This sense of nostalgia even surprised Moen himself.

He had always thought it was just a game, even though he now knew it was real.

Why do I still miss it so much?

The King of Turin is one thing, but this is just a stone wall made for fun, isn't it?

Feel the cool yet weighty sensation emanating from the stone wall.

Moen touched his cheek in disbelief; tears were streaming down his face.

Lily didn't see this; she just asked curiously:

"How do I get in? Is it a password like 'Open Sesame'?"

"Yes, it's a password, but not something like 'Open Sesame'."

Moen subtly wiped away his tears, then stepped back slightly and pointed at the stone gate, saying:

“Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Pedo Mellon a Minno.” (Lord of Moria, Gate of Durin. Say, “Friend,” and then enter.)

The inscriptions on the archway lit up one by one.

Then, a crack appeared in the center of the archway.

But that wasn't enough; the stone gate remained tightly shut.

Lily instinctively glanced at Moen beside her. She was surprised to find him crying.

“I built this door. My friend drew these symbols.”

"So, open the door!"

The cliff opened a door for it, even though its former owner was long gone.

But the doors they left behind still welcome their friends.

Looking at the red carpet behind the door, which was already covered in dust.

Moen's throat tightened, and his body trembled slightly.

He didn't understand, but the feeling was so intense.

what is this? !

Lily didn't understand what was happening, but she obediently chose to remain silent.

A gentle breeze blew across the cliff.

Ripples gently spread across the lake's surface.

The wind dried his tears, but it didn't make Moen's eyes feel dry.

It was as if the only reason this gust of wind blew was to help wipe away the tears of a friend.
