Seeing that the Dwarf King was very impatient with him, the Great Elder sighed and walked out staggeringly.
At this moment, the eldest elder's body seemed to become even more hunched.
"Tsk, this old guy, you've been sensational all day long. He whined about a year ago that evil has come. Isn't it still good now?" The dwarf king spat, then turned around, his eyes full of silence.
He looked at the golden barbecue on the shelf greedily. The rich aroma of meat and wine made him tremble all over, "What is more important here than food? If that army of humans really dared to enter the deep swamp
If I am there, I don’t mind trying the taste of human flesh. Legend has it that humans who grew up eating grains and grains have a very delicious taste of meat!”
The Dwarf King licked his lips, raised the bottle and poured it down again, with a smug look on his face.
The Great Elder crossed the stone bridge and came to the outside of this gorgeous hall.
There is a burning torch every ten meters away in the stone corridor.
The fire was flashing and dark, and the cut shadows made the corridor feel an indescribable and weird smell.
The patrol or on duty guards bent down respectfully when they saw the great elder.
The Great Elder is the oldest elder among the sunset dwarves, and he is also the only dwarves who can communicate with the goddess, so all the dwarves are in awe of him.
Looking at the dwarves' respectful appearance to him, the Great Elder rarely showed a smile on his lips.
Since the Sunset Dwarf lost contact with the goddess of nature more than 500 years ago, under the instigation of the dwarf king at that time, the Sunset Dwarfs relocated and took eight years to arrive at the Sunset Worm.
The Great Elder was already the youngest priest in the clan at that time. He once tried to persuade the Dwarf King not to move to the Sunset Swamp, because he vaguely felt that something terrifying would happen in this land in the future.
But the Dwarf King at that time didn't care.
In other words, every dwarf king of the Sunset Dwarf is the same arrogant and stubborn.
After denying the proposal of the Great Elder when he was young, the sunset dwarves rested in this place that was somewhat similar to their names, and spent eighty years building the current huge underground city.
In the following hundreds of years, due to the comfortable living environment, the number of the entire Sunset Dwarf tribe increased significantly and rapidly.
In more than four hundred years, the population of the tribe has increased by five times, from more than 6,000 people when they first arrived at the Sunset Worm to the current scale of more than 30,000 people.
No major happenings have happened during this period. Except for the fact that the goddess of nature is still not able to sense the goddess of nature, everything else goes smoothly, so my original premonition was slowly forgotten by the Great Elder.
But just about a year ago, the Great Elder was awakened by a nightmare again.
He hadn't had a nightmare for hundreds of years. This time, the nightmare seemed particularly real. Even after waking up, the scenes in the dream are still vivid in my mind.
The blood-red firelight, the hideous beast head, the one-eyed monster, the beast body full of tentacles, and the dwarf who wailed intestines and the belly rotten. These scenes made the elder's body sweat all over when he woke up.
From that day on, he realized that the evil power had finally appeared, and the premonition of five hundred years ago was finally coming to an end.
But when he told the current Dwarf King his premonition and dreams, the Dwarf King didn't take it seriously at all, and even thought that the Great Elder was thinking too much.
Hundreds of years of settlement have made the sunset dwarves attached to the comfortable life they are now.
There was also a completely one-sided situation in the clan. Almost all the dwarves thought that the elder did not need to be so nervous, it was just a dream.
There were even vicious dwarves who thought the Great Elder was old, so they started talking nonsense.
Among the sunset dwarves now, there are no dwarves who still remember the language spoken by the great elders who were young more than five hundred years ago.
Looking at the bright torch in front of him, the elder pulled his thoughts back, smiled slightly at the dwarf guard who was walking by, and clenched his fists secretly: "I will never let that happen."
After making up his mind, the Great Elder exhaled a deep breath of turbid air and walked towards the deepest altar of the Sunset Dwarf's kingdom.
The underground city of the sunset dwarves is hundreds of meters deep underground. The stone corridors and palaces are crisscrossed, layer by layer, spiral construction. If there is no dwarf leading the way, outsiders will inevitably be lost after entering.
, This is also one of the reasons why sunset dwarves are confident.
However, the last fifty meters of the underground city are places where no one is allowed to enter except for sacrifices. Even the dwarf king with the highest status is not qualified to enter.
There is an altar dedicated to the goddess of nature. In the entire Sunset Dwarf tribe, only the Great Elder and the other priests are qualified to enter.
When the guards guarded the altar saw the arrival of the Great Elder, they bowed deeply to show respect, and then made a way to let the Great Elder walk onto the hanging stone bridge leading to the altar.
This stone bridge spans both ends of the underground cave, which is less than one meter wide. The thinnest place is only as wide as the two slaps of adult humans, about 150 meters. It is a purely natural path, and below is
The bottomless underground abyss, no one knows what is below. As long as you fall down, it will be impossible to find a corpse in your life.
The Great Elder wrapped his robe tightly and carefully passed through the stone bridge.
He was not afraid at all, and his belief in the goddess of nature made him believe that the gods would protect themselves silently.
After passing through the stone bridge, there was a stone door of five meters in front of the Great Elder. For dwarves less than one meter tall, they had to look up at the top of this thick stone door.
The stone gate is also formed naturally, integrated with the surrounding walls, with clear spring water left on it. For tens of millions of years, the flowing spring water washed out smooth gullies of varying depths on the stone gate.
The most conspicuous one is the pattern of an eyeball in the middle of the stone gate.
This pattern is obviously made of natural water weathering, and the magical craftsmanship of nature is amazing.
No matter which direction you look at this eyeball pattern, you will feel that it is also staring at you all the time.
It was precisely because of the pattern of this eyeball that the Great Elder decided to build this place into an altar at that time.
The Great Elder firmly believed that as long as you sincerely pray to the goddess of nature in this altar of eyeball, the goddess's solemn voice will definitely sound in your heart.
The elder took a deep breath and reached out to press his hand on the stone door.
The water flow on the stone gate suddenly seemed to come alive, and the water droplets jumped like pearls falling from jade plates, making a crisp sound of dingdong dong.
This music as beautiful as the sound of nature was worn away, and the guards at the other end of the stone bridge all showed a fascination on their faces.
After a moment, the song ended.
The stone gate creaked and slowly opened. The water vapor behind the stone gate suddenly surged out, and white mist squirted out, instantly swallowing the Great Elder.
