PS. Book group 725051233, there are few people now, welcome everyone to exchange water.

Underground tunnels are masterpieces of dwarves, which can be traced back to thousands of years ago. During the heyday of the dwarves, the emperor Charlemagne and the dwarf king Kazadni agreed that the plains and hills on the mainland belong to humans, mountains, wilderness, There are many dwellings on the plateau that are not suitable for human habitation. Dwarves are closely related. Humans and dwarves are closely related. Any country that comes to the dwarf will be warmly received, and dwarves will be treated by the local nobles when they come to the human empire.

Therefore, the dwarves in their heyday built a huge project. They built a large number of underground tunnels to link most of the mountains in the world. Thanks to the huge underground tunnels, the footsteps of the dwarves are all over the world. , Creating a brilliant civilization.

Until the appearance of green skin.

The appearance of green skin brought a heavy disaster to the dwarves. The result of the war that lasted for hundreds of years was the collective return of the dwarves to the roof mountains of the world. Even the eternal peak of the dwarf king's court fell in the hands of green skin, which was used to facilitate the passage of the past. Instead, the underground tunnels were used by green skins, which brought countless bitter fruits to dwarves and humans. Now the underground tunnels are full of green skins, some of them are hiding and expanding them into dark elves in the city, and some are trying to recover some of them. Ditch the expeditionary army and re-use them.

God knows that the dwarf friends coming out of this big pit will be hated black skin pointed ears or **** green skin? Ryan cannot take this risk.

"I will notify Lord Nord's court later and ask them to send someone to use gunpowder to blow up the hole. Now let's go upstairs and see." Lane left the **** basement.

As the two men walked up the stone stairs, Ryan suddenly asked with great interest: "Aster, don't you like melee?"

"Because melee is inherently evil, it is a symbol of barbarism and violence, and a truly honorable duel should be a bow, a bag of arrows, and show your skills and speed as much as you want?" Esterel complained. Tao: "It is rude and savage to use melee weapons, and it is also easy to cause casualties."

"Hey, hello, the white wolf knight in front of you ..." A black line appeared on Ryan's head. The white wolf warrior Uric hated long-range weapons and advocated that the pure masters wanted to be close combat, so the white wolf knights always Try to avoid using long-range weapons to make Uric unhappy, even Ryan throws a flying knife occasionally.

You say that in our White Wolf Knights, we should be treated as heretics.

"So you don't have melee arms in the forest? All are long-range? Impossible? Are the woodland guards all made up of archers?" Ryan was a little puzzled. Estelle was born in the wood elves' territory. Mysterious, but I know with my knees that the army cannot have only long-range soldiers. This is to find death in the war.

"Of course the woodland guards are composed of archers. As for the melee soldiers in your mouth, they are called eternal guards. They hold giant shields and use spears and scimitars to fight, but everyone is also a good player with bows and arrows." Esterel shrugged and followed behind Ryan. The gray stone wall beside him was damaged in many places due to disrepair. The cold wind blowing from the shooting hole caused the half-elf to shrink his neck: "The rest I ca n’t tell you more. You just need to know that although the eternal guards are in close combat, they use bows and arrows no less than the woodland guards. ”

"But the eternal guard needs more time to develop, right? For example, if the woodland guard needs ten years of training time, then the eternal guard may take thirty years? Thirty years, enough for two beasts. Twenty beast-man battle gangs are out, and I now understand why the wood elf army is far superior to those beast-man battle gangs in terms of quantity and quality, but still be troubled by those beast-man, because you are completely I can't support the long-term war consumption, am I right? "Ryan said step by step.

"... as you said, although for decades the forest has always been able to win the war against the filth, but the number of our population and army is declining, and ... the trees have been corrupted in recent years The more serious it is, I can hardly imagine that the violent and abnormal tree elders are the kind and wise elders in the fairy tale. "Esterel shook his head with disappointment:" We have to form more forest squads and Eternal guard troops to make up for the loss of combat power. "

Lion nodded silently. The tree man is a very, very important combat power among the wood elves. The ordinary tree men are several meters high, among which the tall ancient tree men are even tens of meters high. They can make a few names by waving their arms slightly. Human soldiers fly into the sky, and their bodies reinforced by magic and runes are not so afraid of various firearms and bows and arrows, they are the mainstay of the wood elf army.

The two did not continue the conversation because the destination arrived.

Or, not because the destination arrived, but there was no road ahead. The stairs of the tower were severely damaged. The distance between the broken stairs was seven or eight steps away. On the opposite side, a solitary wooden door appeared in front of two people.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to divide the labor. Ryan asked Esterel to go back and inform the caravan that the fortress was not a suitable place to rest. After seeing the half-elves leaving, Ryan turned his attention to the lonely wooden door opposite the broken staircase. .

The distance of seven or eight steps is a distance that mortals can't cross, even the clever skill of half-elves can't cross.

But I am different, but I am the father's son.

If you want to do it, Ryan starts to retreat slowly. He withdraws from the distance of seven or eight steps, and then takes his own footsteps. His right leg is pushed hard, and he jumps. The powerful spiritual energy gathers around his body, just like the early spring. The breeze generally lifted his heavy body armor and body. With the sound of the landing, the white wolf knight successfully landed on the other side.

The heavy and decaying wooden door was pushed by the white wolf knight with brute force. The wooden door bolt was broken under the powerful force of Ryan. At the moment of pushing the door, Ryan stepped back sharply, raised the warhammer, and he was done. Ready to fight.

There was no movement, as the imaginary enemy attack did not happen. Walking into the house, the furnishings inside were very simple, with only a table, a simple wooden bed, a window sealed from the inside, and The one sitting on the chair ... the skeleton.

Judging from the spider silk and dust on the bones, this bone should have stayed in this place for at least two years. The body has been completely decomposed, and its palm is placed on this book.

"The skull is intact, which means that he is always a human being." Ryan muttered to himself.

Sometimes it is difficult to explain the obsession of the empire with skulls. The emblems of all knights of the empire include the skull pattern. The sacred crown symbolizing the identity of the emperor is the shape of the skull, whether it is the emperor himself or a symbol of human power. The elite emperors of the backbone like to decorate themselves with skull patterns.

When Ryan first came to this world, he thought that there was a Monge D. Luffy who created the era of pirates. Everyone wants to be a pirate king, so everyone loves to use this.

Later he realized that the skull symbolizes purity.

The temptation of chaos is always threatening humanity. Anyone who succumbs to chaos will produce terrible changes. As long as they fall, they will never be able to return to their original state. Only the pure and flawless skull proves that they have never been to chaos. yield.

Similarly, the skull is a trophy cherished by Chaos Warriors and Chaos Champions and even the Devil Prince.

With doubt and curiosity, Ryan gently picked up the book.

The book is very old, the writing in some places has been blurred, and the ink in some places has faded because it has not been well preserved. The low Gothic language of this person is quite lame, and there are many typos in many places or even forced spelling Strange characters, but the general meaning can still be read through.

Low Gothic is a language used by ordinary peasant and civic class and even low-ranking nobles. This language is easy to understand and easy to master, but it is less standardized in terms of text and accent. If you speak Gothic It allows the nobles on both sides of the continent to communicate easily and fluently, so the low Gothic language of the Nord kingdom and the Tuscan electorate in the south of the empire is simply two languages ​​from writing to pronunciation.

"In 1469, I came to the third year of Scaville Mountain."

Lane frowned, this was more than ten years ago.

"I encountered a big event today. A brother said that when he entered the mountain, he saw a man washing his clothes at Heyuan. Ha, it just amused us. Can this kind of ghost place actually see people? No one can spend I came to this place to wash clothes in two days. I think we can laugh at this joke for a day, ha ha ha ha ha ~ "

"Well, I think my brethren are enchanted, and today two more loyal soldiers told me that they saw a man washing clothes at Heyuan, but asked them to describe what the person looked like, and they I do n’t know, or ca n’t say anything, I can only say that he feels very tall, very tall, and has long blond hair. "

"These big-headed soldiers are really mad! Today, they told me that they saw someone washing their clothes while on patrol. What the hell? Could their years of military life let them learn to see people wash their clothes?"

"It seems that something is wrong. The soldiers who saw this situation are more and more. It seems that there is really a family in the deep mountains."

"Maybe I should take someone to see it."

Then there was a very long blank space, several pages were torn off, and then a new type of writing was changed.

"In 1472 in the Imperial calendar, our fortress greeted an annoying mission knight. These knights from Brittania seemed to have bad brains. I didn't know that the little boy told him that there was a seal in the deep mountain. Rumors of monsters? "

"The situation is a bit wrong. The mission knight has been away for more than a week, but there is no news."

The next few pages are all scribbles, which are mixed with dust and dirt, and some unknown text.

"Thank goodness! It was the mysterious hermit who saved us! Heavenly murdered Brittany Knight! In order to show his bravery to his lady, he really attracted the terrible beastmen's gang! We are still outnumbered At the critical moment, the friends we knew came to rescue us. God, I have never seen anyone with such a tall body and great strength. My head is only on his arm! "

"Our friend was wearing a very large full-body plate armor, wearing a black wolf skin cloak, holding a huge one-handed sword. He waved his sword waist and cut the invincible hissing shaman, letting the beast king flee from the wind, the beast man Finally defeated. "

"We took out the best food and fine wines and entertained this guest. Our friend was not polite, but he was unwilling to tell us his name and title. He said he was a guilty person and it was not convenient to disclose For the name and title, he asked us about the world tree, but unfortunately no one of us knows. He can only tell him that there are many elves in the southern knight kingdom, and he is saying goodbye to us in disappointment. "

Followed by some running accounts, Ryan turned back hard. He noticed that the notes and handwriting had been changed again, apparently by another captain of the guard.

Turning to the last few pages, the writing became hurried: "The beastmen have come again, they are in hundreds and hundreds, they have besieged the fortress, we ca n’t persevere, at most tomorrow, tomorrow morning, if the reinforcements do n’t come yet ... … We will fight to the last person. "

"We can't escape. The fierce battle attracted the green skins. They appeared from the basement. The green skins regardless of the object directly attacked us and the beastmen ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ This gave us a breath At the right time, Hans used his machine in despair to smash the stairs, and I retreated here. "

"We can't escape."

This is the end of the diary, or military record.

Full body plate armor? Wolfskin cloak? tall and big? Ryan frowned, and would decorate himself with wolf skin. The vast majority of them were knights of the White Wolf Knights. He wondered whether there was a worthy character.

Hmm ~ The one who wears sin, the one-man retreat of the beast-man gang, and the world tree of inquiry ...

Lyan's eyes gradually light up.

Yes, it must be him, except that he will have no one else.

The former head wolf, the former head of the White Wolf Knights who was once named the "wolf master" by the white wolf **** of war, the strongman of the sanctuary, known as the "iron claw" of Logan Flins.

It was only in the great jihad one hundred and fifty years ago that Logan tasted a shameful defeat. The White Wolf Knights suffered heavy losses in the war against the Chaos Army. The Archbishop White Wolf also died in glory, even if no one was there. After the war ended, he was investigated for his fault. The great white wolf paladin still chose to exile himself. He put down the knightly emblem symbolizing glory, and left the white wolf city alone, and there was no news since then.

But why did he look for the tree of the world?

Instinctively felt that there must be a story in it, and it must be related to the arrival of Uric.

What exactly is Logan looking for? Why did Uric deliberately lower his incarnation for the head of a beastman?

More and more doubts filled Ryan's thoughts.

Until the sound of the savage horn outside brought his thoughts back to reality, Ryan immediately realized something had happened outside.

Yup! Why doesn't Estelle come back! ?

Damn, something happened!
