Nowadays, the atmosphere in the dwarf royal palace seems a bit depressing. Although it seems that the Flame Spirit Nest has calmed down in the Fire Vein Chamber, it is a terrifying existence that is superior to the ancient ferocious beasts, and it is impossible to say that it will explode one day.
What's even more despairing is that the only chance to defeat the other party has been missed long ago, and the one who made the other party recover so quickly was his own baby daughter.
"Compared...compared to the Fire Essence, I'm more...more worried about Aslaqi. She has a pure nature, but...she can be easily deceived. What's more, the other party is by no means as stupid as she seems on the surface.
.”
"Why don't you return it... let's send someone to take a look. He is the scholar who knows the world best and can provide more information to the other party."
The imperial meeting has been suspended for nearly a week. This is not because the dwarves have given up on themselves, but because they simply have no way to deal with the essence of fire.
Prince Mito said while stroking his violent beast (two-handed hammer). As his sister who lives with him day and night, he will never allow the other party to plot evil.
On the other hand, Aslaqi's last remaining rune blacksmith is also of strategic importance to the dwarves. To put it in perspective, if Aslaqi dies, then the dwarves will also be considered.
There is missing a powerful peak expert.
Therefore, Prince Mito decided to change his approach and hire a smart guy to deal with Aslaqi, at least to send the news back when the other party got angry.
However, the dwarf king Balder shook his head when he heard this. He drank a few gulps of ale first, and then subconsciously reached out to grab the meat. However, his wife had died more than a hundred years ago, but
No one handed him the dinner plate again.
"There's no need for that. We dwarves don't have cowards. The opponent is indeed powerful, but the worst he can do is die. There's no need to make it so troublesome."
"Listen to me, in the future you are destined to succeed the title of King of the Dwarves and become a monarch. And the so-called monarch cannot be swayed by emotions at any time."
"Forget about Aslaqi, what if we add me and lose a Black Crystal Castle? As long as the monarch does not die, the tribe has the possibility of turning defeat into victory."
"From another perspective, if Aslaqi can make good friends with the Fire Essence, then we will have a backer and we will no longer be afraid of the intrigues of the various forces."
"And what we should do most now is to inform Flowing Light City, Land of Shadows, about the arrival of the Fire Essence. After all, the other party is here for Rikka, so naturally it is up to Rikka to judge how to deal with it."
The dwarf king Balder said this, but he did not agree with his son Mito's decision. As a father, how could he not be worried about Aslaqi, but now he had to consider the group, and naturally he would not anger the other party for the sake of his daughter.
As he grows older, the dwarf king Balder, who was once nicknamed "the reckless man" by the world, has become more and more serious, at least he no longer gets angry for no reason.
His current goal is very simple, which is to train his son Mito with all his strength during his lifetime and teach him everything he has learned throughout his life.
If it hadn't been for the sudden arrival of the Fire Essence, he would not have stopped his son Mito's decision at all, and would have only spoken to remind him at the critical moment.
But he will not let his son Mito "play nonsense". After all, he is a threat no matter what he says, and he must not be provoked casually.
Prince Mito nodded after hearing this. Naturally, he would not disobey his father's decision. After all, he is a very self-aware person, or he has not yet regarded himself as a monarch, and is still the little guy who obeyed his words.
As for the dwarf king Balder, he frowned slightly. He vaguely sensed that the situation was not as simple as he imagined. If Rikka had many "old friends", then all the forces might have new help.
It is impossible to say that the current pattern will be completely broken.
What he was worried about was not the distant forces, but the orcs and goblins who lived together in the alien continent.
Therefore, he decided to inform the Shadow City of Flowing Light about this matter, hoping that Rikka could restrain the Flame Essence. Even if it could not become the backer of the ethnic group, at least it would not destroy Black Crystal Castle.
In the afternoon of that day, two groups of dwarf merchants set out to go north. One finally arrived at the Orc tribe's Udun City, and the other arrived at the Goblin tribe's Alchemy City.
Their mission was very simple, which was to find out whether the two forces, like the dwarves, also welcomed mysterious guests from the realm of nothingness. And the owl was soaring above the sea of demons. Looking at its flight direction, it was shocking.
It is the City of Flowing Light, the land of shadows.
"Lord Rikka, this is a secret letter from the dwarves in the Flint Basin, and it is branded with an anvil pattern."
"Originally, it was supposed to be sent to Huating, but I followed your order and brought it here."
Originally, Perseus's plan was to return to the Shifeng Forest on the third floor of the necropolis and rely on the World Tree saplings to accumulate the power of wood spiritual energy. But at this moment, he brought a small bamboo tube to the third floor of the soup house and handed it to Rikka.
This is a task that Rikka gave her privately. During this period, all secret letters from all parties must be reviewed by Rikka first.
Rikka stared at the anvil pattern imprinted on the surface of the bamboo tube, and sighed. As expected, the guys in her memory have arrived one after another, and she doesn't know how powerful the so-called hunter plane is.
"Perseus, if you practice hard during this period, you will never be able to transform again. You must always maintain a good condition."
"Master, I have a hunch that the hunter plane is far more difficult than imagined. However, what I am worried about is not the opponent's strength, but that you have lost face to me, master."
"Let me think about it, the Charybdis Vortex (Mermaid Tribe), the Whispering Forest (Dark Elf Tribe), the Village (Viking Tribe), the Sea of Demons (Mortal Python Brothers and Sisters), and the City of Shadows, the Land of Shadows. Need protection.
There are so many places that I feel a little bored as the owner.”
"How about we destroy this world, and then start the plane journey immediately, so as not to be disturbed by anyone."
Rikka threw the bamboo tube and the secret letter into the fireplace, and then spoke softly. She spoke very calmly, as if she was increasingly dissatisfied with who had broken her peaceful life.
However, Perseus knelt down on one knee and did not dare to respond. Because through the mist, he saw a pair of star eyes. As a servant, he naturally understood that this was a sign that his master Rikka was angry.
You must know that even during the Third Holy War, Rikka had never been so angry. It seems that on the one hand, it was because of anger at his indifference in the realm of nothingness, and on the other hand, it was out of overestimation of the Hunter Plane.
"Follow your orders, I will definitely fulfill my mission. If I offend my master, I will end it on my own without your intervention!"
"But I think I should tell my companions about this, especially Lord Boom and Lady Christine. After all, we are partners who rely on each other, and we are a family."
Perseus thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak. The third floor of the soup house fell into dead silence, with only those star eyes locked on Perseus who was kneeling on one knee.
A moment later, a piece of bitten white sugar cake fell accurately into Perseus's hands, and then Perseus bowed and left the soup house.
This was Rikka's decision to share the news from the Realm of Nothingness with his companions. However, except for Boom and Christine, no one cared about the mysterious intruder and continued to do their own things.
