Huh? Are they all real?...

"let's go."

Moen slowly stepped into the doorway.

The red carpet has long since fallen into dust, and the flower baskets are nowhere to be seen.

But Moen knew that his friends were still there, and his mission was still there.

We were all fighters who fought for the freedom of the living.

I will never allow your people to suffer such a calamity.

As Moen stepped through the door, the large clock standing atop the iron gate rang out loudly without anyone ringing it.

Whether it was the dwarves of the Seven Hills or the Alliance that occupied the Iron Gate.

Everyone looked up at the sky in bewilderment, listening to the sound of the clock.

The melodious sound of the bell resonates through the ages.

With each chime of the great bell, the soldiers returned.

-

Inside the secret passage in the cliff.

Although Lily didn't speak, she noticed that whenever the person in front of her took a step forward, the lights on both sides would immediately light up.

This seems to be a very ancient and complex technique, yet it has remained completely untouched for so many years.

Who exactly is this person?!

Because it was built solely out of a playful spirit, the gate leads only to a long passageway, rather than connecting to a capital city hidden deep in the mountains.

However, to Moen's surprise, yet also finding it reasonable, the exit was blocked.

It was completely blocked by a lot of mud and tree roots.

In this situation, Moen naturally looked at Ms. Lily behind him:

"Please, this is beyond my capabilities."

Lily is Sequence 5 of the Natural Path, even though her sequence name is Dark Apostle, a character that is difficult to associate with nature.

But letting her handle this is clearly the most reasonable approach.

Lily stepped forward confidently, spreading her arms wide.

The tree roots, carrying mud and sand, were forcibly separated to both sides.

If she wanted, she could even transform trees into tree spirits to fight alongside her.

If the tree she chooses is a rather ancient and massive tree, then what is transformed will not be an ordinary tree spirit that is afraid of fire, but a war tree that can use magic and wisdom to fight against enemies!

The more unique the tree, the more pronounced the effect.

Such trees are almost everywhere in the Sacred Tree Forest.

Therefore, the elves were able to live in seclusion in peace.

When the first ray of sunlight shines in from outside.

Numerous dwarf soldiers surrounded the exit.

"Who are you people? Why are you coming out of here?"

"If you don't speak, then... wait, it's you?!"

Once my eyes finally adjusted to the bright light outside.

It was only then that Moen realized that the person standing at the very front of this group of dwarves was actually the dwarf Balin.

"Mr. Bahrain?!"

"Long-legged man, what are you doing here?"

At Balin's signal, the dwarf soldiers stopped their aggressive stance, but they also looked at the corridor behind Moen with a strange expression.

As mentioned earlier, not only the vampires forgot about this door, but even the dwarves themselves forgot about it.

"I also want to ask you how you got in?"

"Aren't they the people outside?"

The dwarf Balin switched the Morse hammer he was carrying to the other shoulder and said:

“Those guys are so hypocritical. We thought we had no chance of getting in, so we planned to fight them outside.”

"Then a guy who called himself the Pure White Knight said that their master would definitely agree to let us in, because it was our duty."

“Even if we are on different sides, they should respect our choices.”

"So they simply opened the iron gate and let us in."

He directly calls himself the Pure White Knight?!

It seems they really were just putting on an act.

"But what about you, long-legged man? How did you come out of here?"

"When I heard the news that there was movement here, I thought it was those guys who had broken in."

Moen pointed to the long corridor behind him:

“I read in a book that there is a gate to the Seven Hills between two holly trees, beneath the cliff and before the lake. The path will appear if you recite the ancient incantation.”

"Is that so?!"

Bahrain was shocked; this was something no one among the dwarves knew.

“The fact that I can stand here is clearly true, Mr. Bahrain.”

"Wait a moment, I'll take you to see the elders right away."

Since the departure of the Dwarf King, who was the rightful ruler, the Dwarfs' governance model has been constantly changing. Currently, the Seven Hills are governed by an elder council composed of the clan chiefs from each clan.

"Wait, can we let her leave first? She's not with me. This elf lady is just helping me return to Seven Hills to retrieve her things."

Bahrain looked troubled and said:

"Although I didn't see Long Ears among that group of people, she must know how to open the secret passage you mentioned, right?"

"right"

Moen didn't choose to lie. Besides, lying wouldn't have made any difference.

Bahrain said regretfully:

"Then we can't let her out. Maybe she's normal now, and she'll just take the things and leave. But who can guarantee that she won't be discovered once she's out and end up siding with that group?"

Lily and Moen were both helpless.

Forget about this.

However, there was nothing he could do. In Moen's memory, he clearly remembered that no dwarves lived beyond the secret passage.

But now, as soon as you step out, you're on a street.

"Can we let her go and retrieve her things first?"

"That's fine, but someone needs to follow her."

After nodding, Moen said to Lily:

"Miss, why don't you go with them to get your bow?"

Lily nodded quickly; she would never dare leave the bow with anyone again.

After thinking for a moment, Moen said again:

"Also, you absolutely cannot lose this bow. It could really cause a disaster! And I'll figure out a way to get you out of here in a bit. Remember, don't try to do anything on your own."

Lily asked curiously:

"Why would you go to such lengths for me?"

Of course, Moen couldn't tell her the truth. I was afraid the goddess behind you would find out I was hiding here.

So Moen smiled and said:

"This is not your problem. Since I brought you in, I am naturally going to send you out."

This surprised Lily, who looked at Moen for a moment, but soon after, she and several dwarf soldiers left the place.

Watching Ms. Lily leave, Moen quickly knelt down and said to Balin:

"Mr. Bahrain, could you do me a favor later?"

"Don't let her near me."

The dwarf Balin looked at Moen strangely, but he finally nodded.

There will be another 3,000-word chapter in a little while.

Chapter 111 The Prince

The palace of the King of Turin still exists, and it was not completely sealed off like the palace of the Eternal King at the foot of the Sacred Tree and the old capital.

However, the dwarves sealed off the throne room and some adjacent areas, using the rest for public purposes.

The place where the dwarven elders met with Moen was in front of the throne room.

Moen had been here before, and he knew very well that behind the wax-sealed door lay the throne of the King of Turin.

The silence created by Moen's gaze upon the throne room slightly angered the dwarven elders.

“Long-legged man, answer us, how did you know about that door? Don’t tell me you saw it in a book.”

“None of us dwarves who live in the Seven Hills have ever seen such a description in any books. How would you, an outsider, know?”

The dwarven elders clearly did not believe what Moen had told Balin.

They showed it to others, and the door and secret passage did indeed exist. What reassured them for a moment but then made them very uneasy was that the door was indeed exceptionally sturdy.

But it can be opened with just one password!

They wanted to seal it off, but they also wanted to leave themselves a way out.

No matter which option they choose, it feels like a problem, so they are now eager to get more information from Moen.

Then one of the dwarves pointed to a knight statue behind them and said:

"Also, see this thing behind us? It will tell us clearly whether you are lying."

“If you, long-legged man, dare to lie in our sacred and great prayer room, we will surely cut off your head and smash it into mincemeat.”

Moen looked in the direction they were pointing.

Despite being a dwarf's palace, there is a statue of a human knight.

But that's not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that even the dwarves themselves probably don't know that this knight statue was made by vampires.

The vampire-made human knight statue was placed by the dwarves at the entrance of the prayer room.

Naturally, this is still related to Moen.

"The Knight's Oath is like that; he can indeed tell whether someone is lying or not, and he does so at a very high level."

Moen stated the name and purpose of the statue directly.

"It seems you are indeed very knowledgeable. Since you know, then tell us the truth."

But Moen didn't continue their conversation. Instead, he spoke to the kneeling knight statue:

"It seems you have also forgotten the true purpose of this statue."

The dwarf elders were stunned.

What does this guy mean?

"What a joke! How could an outsider like you know more about our things than we do?"

It was a dwarf elder who uttered those words, and he awkwardly shut his mouth.

The person in front of them definitely knew more about them than they did.

After all, none of them knew that there was a secret passage connecting the inside and outside at the bottom of the cliff.
