The guards of the tribe, who had not seen the outsiders for hundreds of years and had only experienced fighting against the monsters in the underground world, were originally wary. But when they saw that the other party was like a monkey, with an excited expression, surrounding them.
He jumped down and ran away. His alert mood was also reduced a lot.
The guard warrior originally wanted to make a vicious expression to scare the other party. But then he remembered that his face was covered by a helmet, and others could not see his expression at all, and he couldn't help but feel funny. The person hidden under the helmet was laughing.
A few times, and then he turned up his face again, for fear that his frivolous appearance would be seen by others.
Jermaine couldn't help but blush when he saw his new friend behaving like this. He and Riley stepped forward together, trying to pull him back. The excited man turned his head
, which is a series of questions:
"Hey, what is the energy source of your power armor? Do you have battery technology? What indicators can the output reach? Can it assist running? How many detection modes are there inside the mask? Is there an auxiliary artificial intelligence system? Can it
Can't float in the air to achieve the purpose of flying? Are there any long-range weapons? Can spears shoot beams? Do you have honeycomb rockets for individual soldiers? It is not easy to wear armor. Can it be worn automatically? Have you implemented nano-machines?
Does it melt? Is it comfortable to wear inside?"
A series of questions directly confused Jermaine and Riley, two dwarves who are more accustomed to listening to Common language. The parts they understood showed that this man was definitely not a novice who didn't know what the armor on a dwarf was;
The part that he couldn't understand at the moment proved his knowledge. His height was already higher than most of the dwarves in the tribe who were proud of their status as great craftsmen.
There are some parts that are understandable that the craftsmen in the clan have never thought about, but they are also quite enlightening. Those parts that are not understandable will of course make people want to get to the bottom of it. But before they have time to ask,
Another lich, who regarded the dwarf guards as nothing, came to someone first and asked: "Do you recognize what they are wearing?"
"Haha, of course I recognize it. I just haven't thought about how to do it and what functions it has." As long as you are an earth nerd, who doesn't have the dream of an iron man. He has the status of genius, billionaire, playboy, etc., although
Compared to other superheroes, his physical strength is like rubbish, but with his physical abilities and intelligence, he can still build himself into a god-defying being.
But thinking of this, Lin suddenly felt quite confused about something. He asked the lich who came to him: "If they had this kind of equipment back then, how did you drive them underground?" By the way, he asked
Jermaine said: "Yes, with equipment of this level, how did you lose? So much so that you had to escape to the underground world?"
Fen said: "I don't know either. In the later stages of the war, there were many battles that were not fought by me, but I had an idea of how we should fight them. If we can't win with 10,000 people, I would just send a million people.
I have never seen any war that cannot be fought with too many people; if it really cannot be fought, it only proves one thing, that is, there are not enough people."
...It is indeed the essence of undead warfare.
Regarding Fen's bold words, Jermaine said with some helplessness: "Because the materials used are very precious, in the heyday of the Guard, the entire empire only had XVIII (18) teams and MDCCC (1800) people. And now, we have
There are only less than M (1000) peaceful weapons left. In fact, we are replenishing them here and there, so the number of weapons we can use will not exceed DCC (700)."
Hey, man, can you just reveal your family background like this? Lin really wants to complain like this.
However, part of the conversation between someone and Fen just now puzzled Jermaine. He asked: "What was Ms. Fen's previous identity? Why does it seem like she had fought with our tribe?"
"Fanny Tikal, a thousand years ago, His Majesty the Demon King came to the world of Lost Earth. A thousand years later, he has changed his ways and become a kind person who is willing to help you."
Although Lin tried his best to explain, Jermaine was still so frightened that his beard trembled three times. Although the guard warriors next to him were not used to the common language for a while, the pronunciation of proper nouns was the same no matter what language they were in.
They are the same. So when the term 'Tikal' was mentioned, the dwarves who were originally relaxed became nervous again.
The guard warriors took a few steps back in unison, away from the two strangers. At the same time, they raised the spears in their hands higher, and pointed the tip of the spear at the man who said the taboo word.
"Hey, hey, relax. Brother, tell your people that we are risking our lives to help you. There is no need to fight swords like this."
Although I was frightened by Fen's identity, I didn't know if it was true or not. Besides, apart from receiving a few punches when they first met, I didn't have a good impression. When I got along with him during the trip, I didn't think he was a vicious person.
.So Jermaine thought about it and decided to speak out for the two of them. If the man was right about the disease in the clan, it was an important matter related to the survival of the entire clan.
But how could the secret territory of the Silverbeard Dwarves, which had not had visitors for hundreds of years, easily accept unknown outsiders? The debate among a group of people moved from the gate to a 'cage'. And the luxury of this cage made
Someone remembered a piece of news he had seen before traveling through time: the prison where a serial murderer in Sweden was imprisoned, and the personal structure of the prison.
I read that news, but it made someone depressed for a long time. Why is it that being imprisoned abroad is more luxurious than the suite on the ghost island where I spent a lot of money to live in. There are also laptops provided by the government for the use of inmates.
And free internet…
The cage in front of us is the same thing. But judging from the fact that a bunch of distinguished dwarves are sitting here discussing things, the so-called "cage" is just a way of saying that the Silverbeard dwarves want to save face.
word.
Because she couldn't understand what they were saying, Lin was happy to sit aside and do nothing. Fen understood but pretended not to understand, fiddling with her short hair in boredom and kicking someone with her toes from time to time.
As for the group of guard warriors who gathered in front of him and were responsible for looking after him, they also held up their spears, but they felt a little absent-minded. Even if you couldn't see their expressions, you could tell from the way they turned their heads and listened attentively from time to time.
, knowing that this group of people are more concerned about the dwarf big shots who are arguing.
The culture of the Silverbeard dwarves is not as advanced as the technological progress they show. This can be understood from the many palm prints on the iron table. At first, Lin didn't know why it was obviously made of iron.
The table was not flat at all. It was not surprising until I saw a group of dwarves banging the table during an argument.
Fortunately it's made of iron. If it were made of wood, I don't know how long it would take for them to change the table.
But when it comes to the culture of the Silverbeard Dwarves, although I haven’t seen any secrets along the way, I can get a glimpse of it just from their residences and various facilities. A more appropriate way to describe it is to let someone
Time forgot that I was traveling through a magical side of the world, and instead thought I was traveling through a science fiction side of the world.
And calling the local area a tribe would make people mistakenly think that it is a village level, or at most a small town level, with a population of about a hundred people, but less than a thousand. In fact, there are quite a few silver-bearded dwarves living here. According to Jaime
As mentioned, there are thousands of people and dozens of clans. Food depends on a fairly large farm, and they are basically self-sufficient.
However, from someone's point of view, this is also because the population of the Silverbeard dwarves is increasing very slowly, which can even be said to be negative, so the supply of food is not tight. They even have a surplus that can be used to make wine. Occasionally, they go out to hunt.
Then you can have a tooth ceremony.
A large part of everything from the original dwarf empire has been preserved, including various technologies, knowledge, and machines. It can be said that the life of the silver-bearded dwarves, who were the core race in the dwarf empire at that time, is the same today.
My life has not changed much.
According to Jermaine, when the dwarf empire in the past faced rebellion flags raised in various places, the royal family at that time and his great-grandfather chose to give up power and preserve the royal family and core tribes. This is also related to the cause of the dwarf empire. Basically
That was because everyone was coveting the skills of the Silverbeard Dwarf, so they came to him. When he didn't get the skills, he turned against him and refused to recognize him.
So rather than saying that the empire disintegrated, it was better to say that it was back to its original appearance. The silver-bearded dwarves chose to play their own game, crushing other races until they lost their temper.
This is completely different from the elven empire in the history of Lost Land. The race that became crazy with the responsibility of maintaining world peace eventually attracted the most terrifying counterattack. The pure golden elves were almost completely wiped out, and only a handful of them were unwilling to do some shameful things.
Due to the destruction of light, the elves who choose to hide from the world are able to survive.
But it can’t be said that it has no impact at all on the Silverbeard dwarves. There is less of a hinterland for blood transfusions for the former empire, and some special materials need to be used less. For example, they call the peace weapon, which is the set of power armor used by the dwarves.
, now if you want to repair some special parts, you have to dismantle parts of other power armors. Only by patching it together can you barely maintain the current scale.
However, judging from the people he observed on the road and the group of people around him, Lin felt that the entire silver-bearded dwarf tribe did not look like a group in distress after the country's subjugation. There was no such gloomy atmosphere. Of course, they were not energetic either.
.Perhaps the perception of time of these long-lived species is not consistent with that of humans. As a result, thousands of years are not enough to change the ethos of a ethnic group.
Of course, maybe we are at a turning point now. It is unknown whether the Silver Beard clan will sink or rise up. But in any case, it has nothing to do with me. Coming here is not so much a big deal.
If you have a kind heart and want to help others, it is better to say that you have nothing to do and just pass the time.
"Friend." Jermaine had just experienced the climax of an argument. Even though he was the youngest member of the clan, when he slapped the table with those old men, his hand strength was not weak at all, and he was even more powerful.
No. Now, he came to Lin with some excitement and said: "Those old men want to see you," my man was sitting next to him, "-and ask for more detailed information."
Looking at the dwarves still sitting at the table, they also looked back at Lin. To be honest, a blind person wouldn't be able to tell the difference in age between them and Jermaine. But no matter who they are, their age is the same.
Several times his age, in line with the principle of respecting the elderly, Lin still showed a polite attitude and smiled, and then accompanied by Jermaine, he came to the iron table for discussion.
