"Are you from Eju? You carry a cat with you, and you can cook it first." This is what Medanzo asked Amon when he was camping at night. He had short golden brown curly hair, white skin, high and straight nose, and very handsome. In the minds of most girls in this world, his smile must be very charming, and his teeth exposed when he smiled were white and neat.

Amon asked in confusion: "Why are the Eju people who cook the cat first?"

Medanzo: "The people of Eju worship cats and regard them as the incarnation of gods. Only in this way can they love a cat so much, aren't you?" He was also surprised when he saw that the magician who saved him was so young, but Amon did not take the initiative to introduce his origin.

Amon smiled and replied, "Oh, this cat is a friend of one of my elders. Please ask me to take good care of it. I am indeed from Eju, named Amon, and I have learned magical arts at a very young age, but so far I am only a second-level magical arts master. You just said that you are from the capital of Baron, the kingdom of Baron, why did you come to the deep mountains in Hati?"

Since he had exposed his magical skills in a hurry just now, he simply followed suit and pretended to be a magical savage from Eju. Anyway, Medanzo could not verify his identity.

Medanzo: "Hati? Here in Baron!... Well, it may be that I was wrong. There were no obvious landmarks here. To be honest, my great-grandfather was also a magician, but he died here in the war that had been a long time ago. I came to find his remains. Dear magician, why did you come to such a dangerous and remote place?"

Amon remembered something inexplicably, and then replied for a moment, "My purpose is similar to yours. A high priest lost something here many years ago, ordered me to find it, and told me that this is also a kind of experience."

Medanzo blurted out and said, "Did you offend him and send a young magician here?" Then he explained: "I don't mean to offend you, I just said it casually."

Amon waved his hand without any mind: "This is indeed a punishment. I am willing to accept such punishment if I have something to do," he said.

Medanzo smiled and said, "It is impossible for an ordinary high priest to come here through the mountains. He must have left something when he was flying in the air. If it is nearby, I can ask for help."

Amon said in surprise: "Look for someone to help? Who can I find here? Aren't you also coming to find the remains of your ancestors?"

Medanzo explained again: "I have been here several times and met the largest dwarf tribe nearby. They should be the people who are most familiar with this area. You can ask them to help you find what is left in the mountains."

Amon: "The savages in the cave? You deal with their tribe too? What happened today? How could you come to that pool to alarm those iron armored beasts? I have never seen that kind of mutated iron armored beasts."

Medanzo replied embarrassedly: "Although I have not found the remains of my ancestors, I am familiar with the dwarf tribe here and often exchange some things with them. This tribe has no other good things but can smel the essence and iron embryos, which is very valuable. And I have to go to the mountains in the past few years, so I have exchanged some things with them. This place may still be in the territory of Barron, and it is not considered smuggling, right?"

No matter which country the Jingtien is in, it is officially a specialized sales control. It is somewhat suspected that such transactions are illegal. However, Amon was too lazy to care about such idiots and asked casually: "Then are you here to find ore sand? Do you still want to smel the fine iron yourself?"

Medanzo was stunned: "Isn't you the first time you've been here? How come you know there is the best refined iron ore sand here?"

Amon shrugged and said, "It's my first time here, but I've known this a long time ago that the best-sized iron ore sand can be found in the feces of the iron armored beast!"

Medanzo was stunned, his expression became very strange in the light of the fire. He cursed in a low voice and said, "The so-called best raw material for Mage steel ore sand is actually the feces of the iron armor beast! That damn patriarch didn't tell me that."

Amon was also stunned: "Ah, you don't know, how did that person tell you?"

Medanzo said hatefully: "The tribe here produces the best-quality fine iron embryos, which is much better than ordinary fine iron. In our place, it is called Mage steel. It can make a lot of money by taking a small piece of it out of the mountain, but the yield is very small. I asked the clan leader if he could get more. The clan leader said that it was difficult to mine ore sand, and said that there was a silt deposited by a pool in the mountains rich in the best Magegang ore sand. However, the iron armored beast king lives in the pool, and it is very dangerous if he wants to collect it, and their tribe members dare not come.

I thought I was also a mid-level warrior, so I should be fine to deal with an Iron Armored Beast King, so I came quietly. I wanted to kill the Iron Armored Beast King and let the dwarves see how powerful I was. The patriarch didn't tell me there were four, and I didn't tell me that the ore sand was the feces of the Iron Armored Beast. As a result, I almost gave my life here, but fortunately I met you."

Amon couldn't help laughing at him, the laughter became louder and louder, and then Medanzo laughed too. The two laughed at each other, and echoes came from the mountains at night. Schrödinger, who was dozing off, raised his head and looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction, as if saying - What's so funny! Is it embarrassing?

...

After the sun rose the next day, Amon carried Schrödinger on his back, and led by Medanzo, continued to walk towards the heights. Although he did not intend to let the cave savage tribe help him find Bell's whereabouts, it is always useful to ask about any notable places nearby.

The clouds on the mountain looked like floating seas from afar, and when they walked into it, they looked like a misty fog. Amon had been traveling through the clouds for the third time. Halfway through the way, he suddenly heard something moving in front of him, and stopped with a staff and said, "Medanzo, there seems to be a sound in front of him, not like an animal, but like a human footsteps."

Medanzo jumped onto a big rock, looked forward with his sword, and after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Link, you old man, come here quickly!... You lied to me so miserably, see how I deal with you!"

A group of people walked out of the woods turning the mountain road. The person in charge was Medanzo who scolded him as "Immortal". He looked not old last year, but he should only be about thirty. His skin was slightly darker but the whitest among these people. He was wearing clothes sewn from animal skins and a pair of woven shoes on his feet. He was the only one among these people who wore shoes and was also the leader of the savage tribe in the cave in the mountains.

As soon as Link saw Medanzo, he quickly stepped forward and said, "You have wronged me. I heard that you went to the Hantan mining sand where the Iron Armored Beast King lives. It was dark and there was no way to come to find you. As soon as the sky was dawn, the warriors from the clan came to save you."

Looking at Link again, more than 30 "warriors" followed, some holding simple bows and arrows, some holding spears with wooden handles tied with iron heads, and the weapons of several people are very interesting, such as slender and rough flat iron bars, sharpened on one side and opened the blade, which can be stabbed or cut, but it has not been made into the shape of a knife.

These people are not too short, but the patriarch Link said that they are all the strongest warriors in the clan and should be the tallest, but they are just the same as the average height of ordinary adults. It seems that there is a reason why the cave savages are called dwarves.

As soon as Medanzo saw Link, he jumped off the stone and used his sword spine to knock on his head: "When you come to save me, I have been eaten by the Iron Armored Beast! Didn't I say there is a Iron Armored Beast King? Why did I meet four?"

Link opened his mouth wide and used a short staff in his hand to block it. He didn't know what kind of beast bones his short staff were made of, and there was a divine stone inlaid on it, which looked very much like the magician's staff.

He looked up and down at Medanzo and said, "Can you come back safely? You left alone before you could make it clear yesterday. I have repeatedly told you not to go without permission. What you met was not the Iron Armored Beast King, but the big Iron Armored Beast King guarding the Beast King's nest. The Iron Armored Beast King usually does not come out to move until the second half of the night... Four Iron Armored Beast King! Are you okay?"

Medanzo took out a yellow and black hook-shaped thing more than five inches long from his pocket, which was the "trophy" he obtained yesterday. The beast claw cut down with one sword and shook it out in a show of flaunting: "Look at what this is! Fortunately, a noble magician helped me, and I cut off this claw with my own hands."

Everyone exclaimed, Link looked at the claw in Medanzo's hand with some envy, and asked curiously: "The magician, what magician? Is it your friend?"

Medanzo replied proudly: "Not only my friend, but also my savior. You have never even heard of the magician, right? It's much more powerful than your two moves!"

Amon walked out from behind the big stone at this time. These savages in the cave had never heard of them, and they were spared the trouble of introducing themselves. Everyone thought that he was Medanzo's friend and a guest in the tribe, and was welcomed to the mountain with Medanzo.

This tribe does have the characteristics of a "cave-dwelling savage". It is built on a flat half slope under a low stone wall. There are many natural caves along the stone wall, which can be inhabited by artificial excavation. A pile of fire is lit in the largest cave. Some tribesmen take turns to get firewood every day to burn the fire. It is a public source of fire for all the families of the tribe.

Although the dwarves here can make fire with flint, the fire is also a symbol of the whole clan. The large cave that burns fire is equivalent to a temple in ordinary towns. The open land in front of the cave entrance is also a place where the whole clan gathers. There are also houses on the hillside not far from the stone wall, built with wood and thatch, and mud is also applied to the wall. Although it is simple, it is also strong.

Those who live in the house are people with higher status in the clan. Medanzo seems to be very respected here, and there is a special house for him to live in, and Amon also lives in this thatched house.

At dusk that day, there was a gathering in the tribe. A group of people jumped around the open space, passing the beast claws cut by Medanzo to each other, imitating various chopping movements, just like the beast claws they cut down by themselves, with a very intoxicated look.

Amon, who fought with the Iron Armored Beast, sat in the most noble position, and was with the patriarch Link in front of the big hole burning on the fire. Medanzo whispered in Amon's ear: "This is the happiest time of the day. They can dance until the fire is out before going back to sleep."

Amon also asked in a low voice: "What are they doing with that paw? They all look like they are drunk."

Medanzo: "It was a ritual, fantasizing about gaining the power to kill wild animals, giving them confidence and courage, and not having to be afraid of hunting, and succeed every time, it's a kind of witchcraft prayer anyway."

As he spoke, the sky gradually became darker. A dwarf took a branch to get fire in the cave, and it seemed that he was going to light the firewood pile in the open space. Amon suddenly remembered something mentioned in the message left by the old madman, stood up with his slim iron branch in his hand, and pointed to the firewood pile in the distance with his other hand.

A wind blew up and swirled around the pile of firewood. A bright light appeared in the wind, and the light turned into a fire thread. The fire thread turned into a tongue-like jumping flame in the wind, and the flame ignited the pile of fire. Although it was just the simplest magical technique of summoning fire element, it seemed both magical and dazzling when used with the magical technique of Qi element.

The dwarves dancing around the fire stopped moving, and the others who were sitting in circles stood up. Then Amon saw everyone huddling towards him, looking reverent and panic-looking. The patriarch Link was also saluting him. Amon heard him clearly saying, "Emister of the Gods, you have brought warmth and light!"
