"This is not a hot spring, it's called a divination pool. It's close to the ley line network, and the water in the pool is almost condensed by the wind of magic. Soaking in it helps me predict the future. You dwarves are naturally repulsive to magic, so you can't feel it."
Eutrax was still able to detect what Snorri was thinking, but the demon toad did not intend to delve into it.
"Go ahead. I have already contacted Atik. The giant spiritual network allows us to communicate with each other. Tiatequa is the core of the giant network in the South, and it is also one of the few remaining intact places."
Snorri bid farewell to Slann and started trekking again after a night's rest. Snorri originally wanted to ask Eutrax to borrow some beasts of burden or something, so as to save some energy for his brothers.
But although there are many giant beasts of the Lizardmen, there are none on the surface of the Bone Temple. All they have here are just cold lizards. The Lizardmen's cold lizards are the same type as those of the dark elves, but they are naturally the same kind, so there is no need to do anything.
You can ride it by applying venom to your body and suffering the sequelae.
But it's a pity that the dwarves can't get the recognition of the group of bad-tempered and stupid reptiles. It's unrealistic to let them pull the beast cart. The main reason is that there are no car paths in the rainforest.
After a night of relaxation, Snorri and his tribe set out again under the guidance of their guide. According to Euthrax, this section of the road was relatively safe, and Thea Tequa had stronger control over its vicinity.
After a long period of suffering, a larger temple city revealed its spiers from the rainforest. Just as Snorri was thinking about where to go, a group of skinks suddenly emerged from the ground.
"The Venerable Atik sent me to welcome you, the wanderers away from home."
Snorri was surprised that the leading priest actually spoke Common Language, but then he thought about it and it was normal. Slann could completely transmit the relevant knowledge through spiritual resonance.
"Where did you come from?"
Snorri asked. He didn't remember that the lizardmen in the game had the ability to move underground.
"The construction of our tunnels was earlier than the birth of your young race!" The skink showed its sense of superiority as the eldest son of the ancient saint. The dwarf king shook his head and followed them into the ground without asking any more questions.
"Using magic to maintain it? What a luxury!"
Dwarves are experts at digging holes. Snorri glanced at the tunnel wall and determined that this thing was not stabilized by a physical structure. Because it is close to the temple city and can mobilize huge power through spiritual vein buildings, the Slann of Tiatequa
Directly used mana to block the underground passage.
Without the detour of "looking at the mountain and running to death", the team rushed towards the city in a straight line. When they came out of the tunnel, they had already arrived in front of the city wall. The protection measures of the Bone Temple were magic fences attached, but here the upper
There are many grades.
The city wall made of obsidian was originally considered strong, and there was a golden magic network carved on the surface, which could better conduct magic and enhance defensive performance.
"You have to meet the landlord first when you come!" Snorri thought to himself. He did not go straight to the Oriental Bazaar, but followed the greeters straight to the pyramid along the central avenue.
The pyramid here is more magnificent than the Bone Temple, and the security force is also stronger. Snorri saw a small group of temple guards. They were heavily armored, and their hands were polished carefully and had sacred inscriptions engraved on them.
on the ground.
What is even more attractive is the unique bone helmet they wear. This kind of armor is made from the horned or bone-crested skull of a large Lustrian predator. They are passed down as sacred relics among the temple guards.
, it is said that the successor can obtain part of the strength and fighting skills of the ancestors.
The temple guards are unparalleled guardians. The sharp-eyed dwarves noticed that a thin layer of dust had fallen on their bodies, as if they had been standing guard for many years.
"Otrax told me about you. In my opinion, to realize the big plan, we need to unite the forces of all races. However, I have reservations about its idea of ​​contacting the same race across the pond."
The body of Lord Atik on the observatory is covered with a silk coat, and the skin exposed underneath is blue. Its power is more powerful than that of Eutrax before. Snorri is not sure whether the color of the skin is caused by different generations.
It is still a manifestation of the different properties of the magical wind.
"Your ancestors have demonstrated many remarkable abilities since the beginning of the world. After so many years, it seems that you have made progress. I think my city also needs your goods and services."
Lord Attila, who had greeted him in advance, got straight to the point, and Snorri was very happy. This trade agreement alone made the journey worthwhile. Tiatequa is more prosperous and powerful than the Bone Temple, and its purchasing power is definitely stronger.
.
After making a few casual remarks, Snorri led the guards and rushed to the "Oriental Bazaar" without stopping. From a distance, he could smell the pungent smell of spices and hear the shouts one after another.
"Come on, come on! Let's go here and look!"
"The finest silk is the same as Shi Lan's!"
The boss here did not sit in front of the stage, but hired some skinks on the spot to sell goods. The large group of aliens who suddenly poured in from the market attracted the attention of the salesmen.
"I am Lord Snorri of the Southern World's Edge Mountains. Who among you has the final say!"
Snorri thought up many opening words along the way, but when the time came he couldn't help but say the most traditional one.
"Immeasurable Pure Treasure Heavenly Lord!"
After hearing Snorri's loud and well-spoken Common Tongue, several humans in silk clothes rushed out from the back hall of the store. Snorri almost burst into tears looking at the familiar yellow faces.
.
"Dwarves? Why are they here?"
"Quick, get the chart!"
Several humans were communicating in their own languages, and Snorri could understand 80% of them. Their language was basically the same as the vernacular in his previous life.
"Ahem, it's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like to move to the tent and talk?" One of the humans who knew Common Language stood up and greeted Snorri.
"please!"
Snorri lifted the curtain and walked into the store, followed by five hammer guards.
"Uh, pardon me, dear Lord Longbeard, why are you here?" A waiter came up with a teapot and made a cup of tea for everyone.
"Where are you from? Cathay?" Snorri did not answer, but instead asked the topic he cared about most.
"Hiss, that's right! We are all subjects under the rule of Dragon Emperor Haotian." The merchants from Cathay were surprised. They didn't expect that this dwarf who seemed to fall from the sky actually knew this.
"Well, according to our information, you and your tribe should all live in the northern continent. Why, how did you end up here? Or are we going wrong?" Another Cathay man came up holding a map.
