Fang Yiyuan was preparing to inquire about the details of the mission with the two little loli. He wanted to find some clues to hidden missions in this secret dwarf city, and it would be vain to come in. Unexpectedly, as soon as Nicole opened her mouth, she jumped Fang Yi three feet high from the ground.
"What!? Cantor? Which Cantor?"
Fang Yi's head buzzed, and he was really excited by this sentence. Even the voice of his speech changed a little, "Do you mean this is Cantor?"
Nicole and Cola were also shocked by Fang Yi's attitude, but anyway, this matter was related to what the two were about to tell, so they explained it to Fang Yi first.
It turned out that the two sisters were both maids in the palace and secretly shouldering the responsibility of defending the king, so they were clearer about these things.
The city where Fang Yi is located is called Cantor, yes, this name has been used since the city was founded more than 300 years ago.
According to the history of the city, about three hundred years ago, the ancestors of the dwarves originally lived in another large underground city, also called Cantor. At that time, the safety of the city was fatally threatened, and the king of the dwarves died in the city because of this.
The enemy was in great power at that time, and the residents of the entire city were about to be slaughtered. The dwarf prince made a quick decision and led his subjects to abandon the city and left the city where he originally lived along the complex underground passage.
The dwarf ancestors moved forward in the dark area, defeated countless sinister enemies, crossed the desperate situation, and arrived at the current place with less than one-third of the population! Then, under the leadership of the dwarf prince, everyone rebuilt a new city.
In order to commemorate his home, his father and family, and to demonstrate his determination to regain his home, the Dwarf Prince named the city Cantor.
However, there are many crises in the dark area, and it takes enough strength and sufficient preparation to travel back a long distance; and the dwarves came here through thousands of miles away. They climbed countless underground caves and passed countless winding tunnels. It was very difficult to return the same way, and the matter of returning home was delayed.
After more than three hundred years, the ancestors who participated in the battle to defend their homes also passed away one by one. The route of retreat that year has long been destroyed in the dust of history. This long-cherished wish that lingers in the minds of countless Cantors for hundreds of years has never been achieved.
Cola and Nicole's grandparents were also part of the great migration back then, so when they talked about this past, the tone of the two little loli was obviously excited, which shows how unforgettable the obsession of looking forward to returning home was for the residents of this city.
Fang Yi became more and more excited as he heard it. He migrated greatly, empty city and underground passage... Isn't this the huge dwarf city under Yuanwang Town?? The residents here migrated back from there hundreds of years ago, or their descendants!?
When Fang Yi thought of the relationship between the two, he was so excited that he trembled all over: This must be a big mission! It's not an ordinary big mission!
Fang Yi tried to control his expression and not show a strange look because of ecstasy. This matter was too shocking, so it would be better to keep the secret for the time being. And now seeing the undercurrents in the city, I don’t know what is wrong with it. The most important thing at the moment is to straighten the inside story first.
"What kind of enemy is that can make your ancestors, hundreds of thousands of dwarves, abandon the city?" Fang Yi regained his calmness, quickly grasped the key point and asked.
"It's Zoer," Nicole hesitated for a moment and did not speak. Instead, Kola, who had been quietly calm, raised her head and answered Fang Yi's question.
***
At this moment, in Cantor's palace.
The main hall of the palace is full of the atmospheric style of the Dwarf clan. Thirteen giant stone pillars built of marble are distributed around the hall. The hall, which is more than 300 feet in a radius, is covered with dark brown stone floors, which can be seen by people.
On the high platform in the center of the hall, a throne made of pure gold stands in the middle, with precious blue and black gems embedded on the back of the chair and armrests, dazzling.
However, at this time, the one sitting in the seat of the only king was not Cantor's king, but an old dwarf with a red beard.
The great alchemist Tucson.
At this time, Tucson was still dressed up, raising his left hand. It seemed to be admiring the dazzling gem ring on his fingers, but the person's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. It was obviously not because he was in a good mood. The dwarves standing in front of Tucson were all lowered their heads carefully, not daring to touch their master's bad head.
"Bain still refuses to speak?" Tucson asked in a deep voice, rubbing the ring on his hand.
"Yes, we haven't provided him with water for five days, but he's still very stubborn,"
A dwarf in a mage robe closest to Tucson looked carefully at the great alchemist, then said, "Do you want to use some other means..."
"Forget it, he is the son of Cantor Tadun, and he still has this backbone. Give him water and don't kill him. We still need the things in his head," Tucson waved his hand and ignored his subordinate's advice: "When I collect all the magic cores, I'll give him a pleasure."
"Yes," the dwarf mage lowered his head and retreated silently to the side.
After a long time, Tucson's gloomy voice sounded in the hall again, "The human assassin who was infiltrated must find him before the envoy arrives!"
Seeing that his subordinates nodded and said yes, Tucson's eyes were turned into the distance under his red eyebrows. He did not say some words to his confidants - Silver Dragon and Assassin. These two words always made him feel very uneasy.
***
"Tuson launched a coup and imprisoned King Bain. What he really sought was to learn from the king's mouth the whereabouts of the core cornerstone of Cantor," Kola put his hands on his knees and told what he knew in a clear and pleasant voice. "With the core cornerstone, he can destroy the stone gate below the city."
"... Then what?" Fang Yi asked in confusion. The coup + imprisonment of the king, did these two earth-shaking things just to control the stone gate?
"Hu..." Nicole next to her breathed a sigh of relief and took the words of her sister: "Because he wants to form an alliance with the dark elves outside the stone gate."
"What?"
Fang Yi was shocked. But then he realized, "Those drow elves have been here? They haven't given up for hundreds of years? Why?"
The Drow Elves are extremely evil creatures. They are incompatible with the kind race such as the surface dwarf. That is natural. But how much enemies are there between the two? More than three hundred years have passed, and they are still chasing them?
"We don't know this, it's just that these dark elves have never given up tracing us. But in the past few years they found the location of the city, I guess they have nothing to do with Tucson," Nicole said hatefully, "Tucson must have reached some agreement with the dark elves. He launched a coup and seized power. As for what the dark elves want, I'm afraid only those black devils themselves will know..."
"As for the magic core in your hand, it is a material for an evil ritual," Kola stared at Fang Yi and said word by word: "If Tucson collects all the phone calls, even if King Bain is determined, he will probably not be able to resist this evil magic. Once Tucson grasps the secret of the core cornerstone..."
Kola didn't finish her words. But Fang Yi understood what the other party meant and lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time.
The matter is basically clear now. Fang Yi can basically guess the tasks received by those people from Xueye Daoguang. It seems that they have defected to Tucson - this is a clear choice. The strength comparison between the enemies and us is very obvious. Anyone with discerning eyes will choose the powerful Tucson side.
But Fang Yi is different. Not to mention the relationship between his camp, Fang Yi knows the specific location of the old Cantor City. There is still an old silver-armored dwarf lying in the city. Maybe it is Bain Tadun's father, Cantor Tadun. No matter how you calculate it, Fang Yi has to stand on the king's side to make a profit.
Moreover, the game is a game after all, and everything is possible before the final solution is finally resolved. Fang Yi will not be discouraged because of the opponent's big situation. It's just that where is the breakthrough point?
It is certain to find a way to rescue the king. And it is time limit before Snow Night Sword Light and others have collected all the magic cores.
To force yourself into it? That's asking for death;
Can we rely on the power of the outside world? After all, there must be people here who are loyal to the king, such as the Coula sisters;
Is there a secret passage in the palace? I don’t know if the success rate is high when infiltrating...
"Cubic Warriors, I've heard of you."
Fang Yi was thinking hard, and Kola, who was standing beside him, had already spoken again: "You enjoy a high reputation among our dwarf clan. Many people say that you are a trustworthy person. Originally, this was not enough to make me trust you, but seeing that you and Yinlong are in tune with each other, I think I don't have to doubt you anymore."
After hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile. After working for a long time, Supreme Treasure helped him clean up his body. However, Fang Yi didn't care about this and happened to discuss with the other party, "Then do you have any plans? As far as I know, there are many adventurers outside collecting magic cores, and we don't have much time."
"Our plan is very simple, to save the king,"
Kola almost made Fang Yi squirt a bit of blood with a word, thinking that of course I know this, but Fang Yi still listened to the other party's explanation patiently.
"The reason why the king was under house arrest was because he was plotted by Tucson and was hit with vicious magic," Nicole continued: "As long as the magic on the king is removed, no one in the city is King Bain's opponent!"
When he said this, little stars were obviously lit up in the eyes of the two half-ling girls, but Fang Yi was very calm and thought to himself that even if Bain was a legendary hero, then Tucson would not be a good person to imprison the legendary hero.
The danger is still...
"As for the method of removing magic, it is ready-made," Kola finished speaking, looking back at the Supreme Treasure who was dozing off, and said with a little excitement: "It's dragon blood! And the blood of kind dragons is better!"
"Ah? How much do you want?" Fang Yi was stunned, and then asked with some concern, thinking that if it affects the health of Supreme Treasure, it would be fine.
"Hehe, I've collected enough when I bandaged it just now," Kola smiled embarrassedly, and then took out a glass bottle from the small bag around her waist. The crystal clear red blood inside was emitting a charming luster.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that the two sisters, one big thief, the other shadow scout, and the identity of the palace maid, it would be enough to make a movie.
...
In Cantor, no matter day or night, the places where torches and magic lanterns cannot be exposed to are always wrapped in darkness, like two distinct worlds, uncompromising each other.
The Snow Night Sword Light moved forward a few steps in this slightly gloomy palace and was in a great mood. Just an hour ago, the twenty magic cores required by the mission were finally collected and were taken down from the surface world. At the moment, they were staying safely in the Snow Night Sword Light's backpack.
Once you complete this task, your reputation in Cantor City will surely rise a lot, and you will be able to successfully take on the next series of tasks, fully explore this mysterious underground city, and then find the treasure that these dwarves are trying hard to hide!
