"Dang, Dang, Dang", six huge bells resounded over Chongshan City, awakening the sleeping city residents. In the early morning of August, it was already bright at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the streets began to get noisy. Since Chongshan City is a transportation transit center between the Three Kingdoms, most of the merchants here operate hotels and rental warehouses. Early in the morning, transportation teams kept rushing carriages of various sizes to transport goods from the warehouse, going deeper along the Flame Street or leaving the Mountain Country.

The forged products and artworks left Kuran along the street of Flame and flowed to all parts of the world of Yara. At the same time, handicrafts from the Lost Forest, pearls, corals and seafood from the sea country Casa, furs and meat from the orc grasslands, minerals from the human world, industrial products and mass-produced magical products, and even rare medicinal materials from the Whispering Swamp, will follow this transportation route and continuously flow into the mountains and disperse into every dwarf city.

"Ding, ding." Panis, who was wrapped in a black swordsman's suit, sat bored in the hotel lobby, looking outside the door in a daze. Because it was too early, there were only a few guests who needed to leave early to handle the accommodation fee. There were almost no people in the hall. Panis supported his arms on the arm of a chair and his chin, and kept yawning in a sleepy way. Although he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he refused to return to the bed to continue sleeping. Instead, he kept looking outside, as if he was waiting for someone. Waiting for someone was boring, so he grabbed a few gold coins in his hand, one of which was thrown high into the air. Then he ejected the other gold coins from below to hit the rolling gold coins flying in the air, while keeping the gold coins in the air flying continuously. Then he accurately caught the gold coins that were hit and turned into the fallen gold coins.

He didn't even look at the gold coins, but his movements were clever and accurate, without a single mistake, and the smooth and coherent movements made the merchants and travelers who had just settled the accommodation fee and were ready to go out. They almost forgot about their own affairs, and kept blocking the door and watching Pannis' performance attentively. But unfortunately, the performance was quickly interrupted. A figure rushed straight from the stairs like silver light. He rushed to Pannis' side with a fierce wind. The next moment, all the gold coins disappeared as if they were swallowed by a different space, leaving only a black-haired and silver-armored knight girl. She glared at Pannis on the chair with a fierce look on fire, and the audience around them all suspected that the performer would be eaten directly by the girl.

"What's wrong with you?" Catherine said angrily: "I've been sitting here to play with gold coins early in the morning. Do you know how noisy the sound of dingdang dang is? Don't you know that I'm sensitive to this kind of sound? I can hear it clearly when I close the door upstairs, and you still let others sleep? This kind of unethical bad behavior should be punished by God."

"Uh, although I don't know why you're so angry." Panis blinked innocently: "But that's my gold."

"It used to be, but now it's mine." Catherine put the snatched gold coins in her hand into her purse carefully and carefully put them away. Then she pulled over the chair and sat down next to Panis, and said unhappily: "You call me down in this way, there must be something wrong. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Actually nothing is wrong." As soon as Panis finished speaking, he felt a blade-like gaze piercing his face and hurriedly added: "No, no, I mean, there is nothing big, but guests will come to visit later. I think letting the three of them have a little more rest, and we are welcomed by the two of us."

"Guest?" Catherine rubbed her eyes and woke up. She tilted her head and thought for a while and asked, "It's the guide you mentioned the day before yesterday? What's the name of the crypt dwarf explorer introduced by Mr. Clark, Ike?"

"Ike? Lava," added Panis: "The most experienced explorer among the Crypt Dwarves enjoys exploring the new world. The famous saying is that sleeping in a strange area that no one has ever explored is the most glorious destination for an explorer."

"This person... did you say he had entered the Earth wound on Mount Phellias the day before yesterday?" Catherine confirmed: "Is this person reliable? I don't want to encounter situations like Leerard in the Glitter Forest again."

"This probably won't be." Panis shook his head and said, "After all, this man is also very strong in the crypt dwarf clan, and it is unlikely to be like Elard. Moreover, for the sake of security, if he finds the research center, I don't plan to let him in. I have negotiated with him because of some secrets of the goblin clan. Once he finds clues from the research center, he will let him return by himself, and he will not tell him the specific location or the situation inside. He finally agreed to this request, but the price is that he can follow this clue himself in the future, and we must not interfere at that time."

"That's okay." Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "But the guide left, can we get out by ourselves?"

"Don't worry." Panis smiled confidently: "Maybe I might get lost in a strange environment, but if I want to return after walking the same path, hehe."

"Okay, I understand." Catherine said: "Mr. Living Map, it's up to you. I hope we won't become another group of victims who are lost in the depths of the ground... Huh? Come?"

"Yeah, here we come." Panis stood up and looked out the door of the hotel. The door of the hotel was always open. After passing the door, you can clearly see that a dwarf slowly approached the hotel along the circular street outside the door. The dwarf walked towards the hotel wearing a close-fitting coarse cloth coat, with a wide sunglasses on his face covering his eyes. His skin was particularly pale compared to other dwarfs, which was the standard appearance of the crypt dwarf. However, his figure was also particularly thin and not as thick and powerful as dwarfs. However, such a figure was particularly suitable for walking in various complex environments. Even in some narrow cracks, there would be no tragedy like other dwarfs that could not get through or were stuck halfway through.

Of course, nothing is all about this. What really surprised Catherine and Panis was his walking posture. His gait was very special. When he walked, his whole upper body was in a straight line, without any shaking, only his arms were swinging naturally, and every step of his legs was different from that of ordinary people, making people look very awkward. But Panis and Catherine sighed together, and nodded at the same time: "This is the real explorer."

There is a reason why the two of them expressed such feelings, because although the dwarf's walking posture looks special, in fact, when walking in this posture, you can not waste any extra strength after getting used to it, which is one of the most physically efficient ways of movement. If you have a perspective eye, you can see that his upper body and spine are in a straight posture, and each vertebra is pressed right above the next vertebra, so that the upper body can maintain the most relaxed posture. When he steps on the lower body, he also keeps the weight of his body almost completely supported by the hard and upright leg bones, and only a very little force is needed to maintain it.

Balance can ensure the upright posture of the body. This greedy walking method that saves every effort is often only mastered by those who need to maintain a walking state for a long time. Even with Panis's experience, they cannot adapt to this strange posture. It can be said that if Panis competes with the dwarf outside the door for a long time, even if Panis's physical energy and physical fitness cannot surpass the other party. Some people have even tested that as long as this walking posture is exercised, the master can completely sleep while walking and be calm, provided that the steering and road conditions do not need to be considered.

Seeing the dwarf approaching, Catherine politely greeted her, and Panis followed her closely behind. She stood at the door and smiled and stretched out her hand at the dwarf: "Welcome, Mr. Lava, thank you very much for accepting our invitation. Although we met for the first time, we would feel much more at ease when we saw your walking posture from afar. You will definitely be competent for the role of guide."

"Legend?" Ike seemed not good at communicating with people. He looked at Catherine and Pennis, ignored her politeness, and spoke very directly: "This one is a demigod? It doesn't look like it, oh, now it looks like it. What about the other ones? What are the strengths?"

"The other three are all spell casting professions, Mr. Lava." Katherine was not dissatisfied with the dwarf Ike's attitude. It is normal for people who have been accustomed to living alone in the wild for a long time. It is not good at communicating with people. The worse they are at communication, the more they can mean that he has been alone for a long time. Therefore, Katherine patiently introduced: "A sage of Deniya, an alchemist, and a mechanical wizard part-time crystal gunner, and the three of them are also legendary."

"Six people, five legends and one demigod." Ike pondered for a while and nodded, "I have enough strength, so I can try it underground. But I have a requirement. I know you have experienced many wild adventures, and I have heard from Mr. Clark that Mr. Pannis has no less experience in the wild than me, and may even have a lot of knowledge than me. However, after entering the earth's wounds, if there is a difference in opinions, you can discuss it. However, at critical moments, I ask you to accept my opinions, otherwise I will not go in. Of course, the opinions I mentioned refer to reasonable opinions, and I will not raise unreasonable opinions."

Catherine and Penis looked at each other and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Lava, no matter how rich we have experience, we are all newcomers to the wounds of the earth, and you are the expert. I can express my opinion on those who are not present and fully accept your request."

"Then, happy cooperation." A smile squeezed out on Ike's face, which was like a dry bark, "You can call me Ike, don't call me Mr. Lava."
