Chapter 452 Heavenly Punishment and the Race Cursed by Magic
In a mysterious room, the place is filled with the smell of magical technology. The steel floor and walls are covered with many luminous stripes, and these luminous stripes illuminate the entire room.
There was a strange instrument placed in the room. It was like an altar, cylindrical in shape, with a depression in the middle. It also had many strange lines, which were somewhat similar to the patterns of magic runes.
What's strange is that the light energy of these patterns appears in the air, forming a map made of light. All you can see is mountains made of light. There is a conical mountain in the center of the mountain, but inside the mountain is densely packed.
Buildings, this is the terrain of the entire Jiala Mountains. At this time, a red dot suddenly appeared on the map.
Suddenly, the metal door in the room opened automatically, and an old man wearing a white burqa appeared behind the door. While rubbing his hands, he returned to his post, which was staring at the map.
Just as he was complaining about today's lunch, he looked up and suddenly saw a red dot on the map.
"Ah! The invaders have come to the central part? What's going on? Why hasn't the defense mechanism been activated?!"
The old man suddenly panicked. He quickly ran to the machine, manipulated the machine, and magnified the red dot. Suddenly the picture began to change, gradually gaining color, creating a lifelike picture. He saw in the picture, there was a
Barbarian soldiers wearing primitive weapons. Strangely, this team included more than one kind of demons, and even included humans and orcs. He also saw that at the front of this team, there were actually five dwarves, and the one in the center was
That one is actually Princess Fuyin.
"What? Why is this girl outside?"
The old man's eyes widened, but he soon remembered that the person who delivered the meal today was this restless girl, and then his stomach began to hurt inexplicably.
"No! We have to inform the king immediately."
He quickly left the chair, but suddenly his stomach made a growling sound.
"Ah! Here we go again, damn it, how much did this little girl let go? Hold it back."
The old man held his stomach and rushed out with his legs crossed.
This is a steel castle, and it is a three-dimensional structure. The old man is at almost the highest point. He takes an elevator to the next floor and walks along the corridor close to the cliff. He looks towards the handrail.
, you can see a very prosperous big city, with countless stacked houses, and the roads are full of dwarves, carrying large and small things on their backs, blocking the streets.
The old man did not see this scene. He ran directly to the palace and opened the door to the palace.
"Big! Something bad is going to happen!"
As he yelled, he rushed towards the main hall where the king was, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. The guards in the palace were running around, as if something big had happened. The old man was a little puzzled, and thought to himself, do they all know?
No matter what, he had to report it, otherwise he would be charged with concealing the report and he would be finished.
"Your Majesty King! Something bad has happened! Your second daughter, Princess Fuyin..."
However, when the old man entered the hall, he found that the ministers were in a panic and chattering about something. The king covered his forehead and sat on the throne with a look of despair.
He didn't know what happened, so he saluted the king as usual, bent over and hunched his legs, and slowly walked into the sight of everyone.
"Your Majesty, your second daughter, Princess Fuyin, went out privately and was unfortunately caught by the barbarian army. They are approaching here now!"
The old man shouted loudly, and the king sighed and said, "I can't care about these little things now!"
The king said something that surprised the old man. What a trivial matter? Fuyin is his daughter, how could she be a child?
When the old man raised his head, he saw the wall behind the throne, and he suddenly showed a shocked expression. Behind the throne was an ancient wall carved with a sun pattern, which was the punishment of the dwarves' ancestors more than a thousand years ago.
If the black gem in the middle of the sun suddenly lights up on the prophecy monument carved later, it means that heaven's punishment is about to come again.
"Ah! Heavenly punishment!!"
The old man sat on the ground in shock. He finally understood why the soldiers were so flustered, the ministers kept arguing, and the king would say that Fuyin's matter was a trivial matter.
Heaven's punishment is coming, and what the dwarves fear most is about to happen...
"The heavenly punishment one thousand seven hundred years ago was what we dwarves feared the most. Our ancestors were lucky enough to hide under Mount Jialuo, and Mount Jialuo is rich in an ore that can dispel magic power, so
We escaped that heavenly punishment. But when they came out, what they saw was the dust of our compatriots.
and empty cities, which left an indelible fear to our ancestors. They have continued this fear to this day. We dare not leave this place. Most dwarves do not know the outside world. They have lived in this world all their lives.
In this big mountain, I think this is the whole world."
Fuyin, the dwarf princess sitting next to the Demon King, said, she frowned and didn't know why she said so many words.
The Demon King nodded. He was very interested in what the dwarf said about heaven's punishment. What was the factor that made them all disappear overnight? World-level magic?
No, this is unlikely.
Even if you have the power to destroy the world, it is impossible to target the dwarves so accurately. It is like trying to kill a few specific ones among a bunch of ants with one slap.
It is very difficult to hurt other ants. Those who can do this are probably close to omnipotence. Is there really an omniscient and omnipotent God in the world?
The devil doesn't know, but what he can be sure of is that the omniscient and omnipotent God will not bother to do such a stupid thing, nor will he punish or reward someone for scolding him or begging him.
"What else do you know about your heavenly punishment? Are there any relevant records?" asked the Demon King.
"I don't know this either. If you want to know more, you can ask my father. I don't believe in any kind of heavenly punishment. It's probably some kind of disease or war. The world is so big, and I don't want to be blamed for this.
There is no reason to be locked up in a mountain for the rest of your life."
Fuyin crossed her arms in front of her body. It turned out that this was the reason why she personally faced the attack.
The Demon King smiled and said: "Then have you ever thought that maybe people in this world are like you, trapped in one place, and you don't know it for the rest of your life?"
Hearing this, Fuyin was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and looked at the Demon King, and said, "Really?"
"Who knows."
The devil smiled mysteriously.
"Well, then I want to go out and have a look. At least I need to know how big it is outside. Oh! By the way, I forgot a very important thing. I heard about a place called the sea. It's all water. It's true.
Of?"
Fuyin asked curiously.
"Well, it's true, but it's definitely different from what you imagined." The Demon King said.
"Ah! It's actually real. I thought it was someone's illusion, ah~~ I want to take a look."
The other party suddenly said, and the two of them chatted without any sense of tension. The dwarf warriors walking on both sides couldn't help but sigh. You must know that they are the other party's prisoners, and they don't know what punishment they will receive when they go back. This trouble-making princess actually still...
He had so much fun chatting with the intruders, and even told the dwarves' secrets.
Fuyin suddenly came close to the devil, put his hand over his mouth, and said furtively: "I want to tell you something, can you promise me not to tell anyone else?"
"It depends."
The devil said.
"What, you won't agree to this small request from me, forget it." She stood up, and now she was at the same height as the Demon King was sitting.
"Actually, we dwarves hate magic very much, and we will be scolded when we talk about magic. But I don't hate it at all, and I am very interested in it. Remember to keep it a secret for me."
The other party said.
"Is this considered a secret??"
The devil said suspiciously.
"Shhh!!"
The other party quickly covered his mouth and looked back at the dwarf warriors.
"Don't tell me. If my father finds out, I will be in trouble. Hey! If you can make a good deal with my father, can you teach me a little magic? Please! I can pay you.
money."
She said seriously, and the devil smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
He probably knows why dwarves hate magic, and why they don't let future generations become interested in magic. From the dwarves he met, he can infer that the dwarves' magic level is extremely low and they cannot use traditional magic. Magicians have extremely high abilities.
The threshold is high, even humans are only one in a million, and the magic level of the dwarves is even lower than that of ordinary people without talent, only one-tenth of the average level.
Magic requires magic power, just like fire needs fuel, and magic is a burning flame. In theory, you can use magic as long as you have magic power. The theory and reality are completely different, because not all magic power can be transformed and utilized, and a considerable part of it has not been
The changes are used, that is, wasted. The level of magic power utilization by novices is very low. They need more magic power to cast the same magic. Those with better talent will need six or seven times the magic power for the first time, which is slightly less.
There are more.
Therefore, people with a high level of magic can get started faster. Dwarves, who are extremely short of magic, can theoretically learn magic, but only if their magic utilization rate reaches the level of experienced magicians. But here comes the problem.
Scholars need to learn to use magic before they can slowly practice and improve their magic utilization rate.
So, this is a very contradictory thing.
"I have a lot of gems and gold that can be used to pay for it, isn't that okay?" Fuyin said with a frown.
The Demon King shook his head and said nothing.
"Any simple little magic can satisfy me, isn't this enough? Then you can give me a magic book. There should be one. You magicians must have a magic book."
The other party kept chattering.
The Demon King sighed, looked at the other person, and said, "Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to do this? What if we are your enemies? Are you not afraid that I will do bad things to your people?"
Hearing this, Fuyin raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You underestimate us too much. Hehe, although we are a little shorter, we are not as fragile as you think. Let me tell you, the orcs have invaded on a large scale before.
But we were beaten to a pulp. I suggest you don't make enemies of us. Although my father and the others are a bit stubborn, they are actually quite reasonable. Maybe he will give you some gifts to distract you or something."
Seeing her fearless look, the Demon King didn't know what expression to make. He hoped that the dwarf was really as powerful as she said.
They continued along that road, and under the leadership of Fuyin, it was indeed a smooth journey. Soon they came to a nearly vertical mountain, and the road was blocked by a bottomless ravine.
"There's no way!"
Blue immediately turned around and glared at Fuyin on the carriage.
"Pay attention to defense!"
Lie Hu shouted and ran towards the carriage where the Demon King was.
"Lord Demon King! There is no way ahead! This may be a trap!!"
"Okay, there are traps here and there. If we wanted to kill you, we would have done it a long time ago. We still have to go to such great lengths."
Fuyin said in an infuriating tone, looking so angry that he didn't look like a prisoner.
"Illusion? Nice gate."
The Demon King looked at the cliff in front and said slowly.
Fuyin, who was about to jump out of the car, was startled and turned around to ask, "No way? You can actually see it? This is impossible."
Also shocked were several other dwarf warriors. This gate was made with a large amount of dwarf technology. Logically speaking, it is impossible to see it from the outside. Moreover, the gate is integrated with the mountain. Even if there are climbers or adventurers coming,
, even if they climbed to the top of the mountain, they would not be aware of the presence of the dwarves.
"Nothing is impossible."
The devil said.
Fuyin frowned, feeling that this man was becoming more and more mysterious, with a feeling that he could not see through.
"Forget it, I'll open the door."
After saying that, she jumped out of the car and trotted to the edge of the cliff. She took out a crimson diamond pendant and raised it above her head. Suddenly a red light flashed and shone directly into the cliff.
One second passed, then two seconds passed, and it wasn't until the tenth second that she felt something was wrong.
"Why is there no response? It shouldn't be."
Fuyin wiped his diamond pendant and made the same action again.
The soldiers and the Demon King behind him could also sense something. The impatient Blue came to Lie Hu and whispered: "Is she lying to us?"
"It's possible, be careful not to let them escape."
Lie Hu quietly held the noose.
"Hey?? What's going on? Why don't the people inside open the door? Could it be that..."
Fuyin frowned, her uneasy mood completely exposed on her face, and the dwarf warrior behind her also felt uneasy.
"Princess, let me come."
A dwarf warrior stepped forward and took out his own blue diamond. It was much smaller than Fuyin's, but it could also emit a beam of light.
But like throwing a stone into a bottomless pit, there is no response at all.
"What should I do? This door can't be opened!"
They became panicked, wondering if it was because of their behavior that the king decided to expel them?
Fuyin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and his feet were restless in place.
"I'm Fuyin·Xiaoshou! Open the door for me quickly!!"
She shouted towards the cliff, but nothing happened, only the echo came.
"How could this happen? I was wrong. I'm sorry, father!"
Fuyin shouted, almost crying.
At this time the devil got off the carriage.
"Let me try it."
He walked forward as he spoke.
"It's useless, this door can only be opened from the inside." She said with a tearful voice.
The devil came to her side and suddenly stretched out his hand.
"I order you in the name of the Demon King of Destruction! Open it for me!"
He shouted, the terrifying power of the devil emerged from his body, a looming evil image appeared behind him, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and a dark purple claw appeared on the cliff, deeply embedded in the mountain.
among.
Boom!!
There was a loud sound of landslide and ground cracking, and the cliff was pulled out directly. The back of the stone was made of metal four to five meters thick. It was pressed down like a huge iron plate. With a bang, it was just parallel to the ground and turned into
A huge bridge connects the cliff and the mountain.
