I am a god in another world

The stone giant Domingo's singleness made Gavin a little speechless. This guy really has no sense of responsibility at all. How can the Council of Death Chiefs trust him to manage such an important place?

This is good, at least it is more convenient for me to take over.

"Lord Sanobar, prepare a separate and secluded residence for Master Domingo. Don't treat him as a prisoner, but as a distinguished guest, to ensure his daily needs and carving needs." Gavin directly threw the stone giant to the Lord of Colossus City and asked her to put him under house arrest.

He might be an important chess piece for him to contact and communicate with the Council of Death Chiefs in the future.

The rest depends on what attitude the Council of Death Chiefs has towards their seizure of the Colossus Dungeon.

The stone giant manager Domingo's attitude is peaceful, not like a prisoner, but really just a guest with a unique identity.

This has a lot to do with the racial character of the stone giant. I have heard of the Storm Giant Tyrant, the Cloud Giant Lord, and the Frost Giant War Commander, but when have I ever heard of the King of the Stone Giant?

Compared with disputes with other races, they prefer to live a secluded life in deep mountains or underground caves.

Normally, they are proud of their carvings, and their clan chiefs are often the best carvers, because they do not simply regard carving as a pastime and art, but also believe that carvings contain prophecies, and the fate of themselves, the clan, and even the entire stone giant is contained in them.

On the contrary, the various actions of the Council of Death Chiefs have completely deviated from the nature of the stone giants.

The gray dwarves are slaves of the Council of Death Chiefs, and so are they, the living stone giants?

It's just that they have been forcibly infused by the Council of Death Chiefs from childhood to adulthood. For the clan, for the stone giant race, and even for the goal of the entire giant's efforts, what is a little sacrifice for this? Including transformation into an immortal state.

According to the behavioral rules and standards set by the Council of Death Chiefs, Domingo has already stepped half a foot into the ranks of undead stone giants.

This group of enemies that suddenly appeared was equivalent to a suspended sentence for him, so he could do what he liked with peace of mind.

As for the plunder of the dwarf tomb, it was naturally the undead stone giant chiefs of the Council of Death Chiefs who worried about it. He only needed to be his own prisoner and wait for them to rescue him.

This unique mentality was difficult for people like Gavin to understand, because in his eyes, many things must be robbed and must be taken, otherwise how can there be progress, development, and ascension?

After sending the stone giant Domingo away, Gavin took the gray dwarf chief Yuliu to the wandering dwarf king Jiharin and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for your willingness to help. I didn't expect that the Supreme Shatana Kingdom left such a big treasure below."

It was none other than the chief of the Iron Clan who lifted the seal of the mineral vein.

The Iron Clan comes from the Stormhorn Mountains of the Kingdom of Cormyr. They share the same origin as the Sunset Mountains of the Goblin Border and the Shield Dwarves of the Far Mountains. They are all shield dwarves that split from the Kingdom of High Shatana.

Jiharin had long ago interpreted the origin of this place from the dwarf stone carvings and murals. The need to go underground to repair the Heart of the Mountains was a hint.

After all, this involves the treasure of the Dwarf Kingdom. It is obviously a bit inappropriate for him to remind an outsider with a carriage and horses. But if the other party finds the treasure himself, his guilt will be much lighter, at least the psychological guilt will be much lighter.

And the key to unlocking the vein seal is nothing else, that is, the Heart of Regeneration. This object is taken from this vein, and it is more appropriate to use it as the key to carry the seal.

"I just hope that the Lord will remember the agreement between us." Jiharin handed the Heart of Regeneration back to Gavin and reiterated the secret agreement between the two parties.

"Don't worry, Chief. The Dragon Skull Throne is the treasure of you dwarves. Its symbolic significance far outweighs its magical effect. Even if I occupy it, I will not be recognized by the dwarves. It is better to let the Chief explore its value and prepare for our counterattack on the Taesaama Mine."

Gavin did not reach out to take the Heart of Regeneration. "Put it in the hands of the Chief first. After all, the work of repairing the Heart of the Mountains still depends on the Chief."

Gihalin certainly did not help Gavin to remove the seal of the mine for nothing. He also had his own interests.

The Dragon Skull Throne of the Shanatar Kingdom.

At the beginning, Tak Shanatar killed an ancient red dragon, occupied its nest and named it the Hall of the Bright Axe. He established the Kingdom of Alatorin with this capital. The shield dwarves of later generations regarded this event as the beginning of the first great era of Shanatar.

The head of this ancient red dragon was made into the Dragon Skull Throne, which has always been the symbol of the Shanatar Kingdom, especially when the eight sub-kingdoms were once caught in a melee of fratricide, and even used the Deep Earth Spawn, a monster that can produce a large number of clones.

A large number of cloned dwarves died in the fratricide, and the Shanatar Civil War was called the Spawn War.

It was not until the drow took advantage of the dwarf civil war to attack the Aratorin Caves, the Hall of Bright Axe fell, and the Kingdom of Aratorin was destroyed.

Those dwarves realized the absurdity and mistake of this war. The kings of the eight Shatana sub-kingdoms reached a ceasefire agreement, formed a coalition to launch a counterattack against the drow, defeated the drow, and recaptured the Aratorin Caves.

The eight Shanatar kings led their troops back to the Hall of Bright Axe, and swore in front of the Dragon Skull Throne that they would never kill each other again, and Shanatar ushered in the Second Era.

Since then, the Dragon Skull Throne has been circulating among the major Shanatar kingdoms and is regarded as a symbol of the supreme dwarf kingship. When the Supreme Shanatar set foot on the ground, he took the Dragon Skull Throne to launch an attack on all the shield dwarves. The summoning order united half of Faerûn's shield dwarves to his side, and he achieved the glorious feat of overthrowing the giant empire Nederheim.

After Supreme Shatana, there was no news from the Dragon Skull Throne.

As the symbol of the shield dwarves, the Dragon Skull Throne has been engraved in the hearts of every dwarf. At least among the shield dwarves in northern Faerûn, it has an irreplaceable sacred status.

Therefore, the shield dwarves of the North have a legend that whoever can find the Dragon Skull Throne will be the new king of the shield dwarves.

After finding the Dragon Skull Throne, it is unknown whether he can become the king of the shield dwarves, but there is no doubt that he will have super high appeal among the shield dwarves of the North, especially if this person is a dwarf king himself.

If he could use the Dragon Skull Throne to summon tens of thousands of shield dwarves to his command, the restoration of the Kingdom of Tethyama would no longer be an unattainable dream.

The City of Colossus is the last city to die in the Supreme Shanatar, and the entire mineral vein here has been sealed by the mineral vein sealing technique.

Jiharin naturally has reason to speculate that the Dragon Skull Throne is sealed inside, so it has not been discovered all these years.

Regardless of whether this Dragon Skull Throne with a history of tens of thousands of years has magical power or not, it must be labeled exclusively for dwarves. Even if I hold it in my hand, it will be of no use. Instead, it is better to make a deal with Jihalin. It can be regarded as adding chips to the restoration of the Kingdom of Tesyama.

"It is still a key. If there is a dwarf treasure house hidden deep in the mine, it will definitely need its help to open it. I suggest that all the treasure houses be restarted before it is too late to repair the Heart of the Mountains to prevent the key's function from being destroyed. "

Jiharin paused slightly and said, "And I suspect that the Heart of the Mountains was not destroyed by those trolls, but was demolished by the dwarves of Colossus City on their own. The other half of the Heart of the Mountains is in the mineral vein, as a mineral vein If this is the core of the sealing technique, we won’t even have to worry about repairing it, and we can just reassemble it.”

"Ha, this is unexpected good news." Gavin said happily, "Whether it is repairing or regrouping, we need to trouble the clan leader. Since this is a dwarf treasure, how about asking the clan leader to restart it?"

Gavin planned to use this method to prove his innocence, so that he would not be confused if the Dragon Skull Throne was not found in the dwarf treasure.

Although he will soon have his own smelting and forging plant, it does not mean that his cooperation with Jihalin and the others has ended.

There is one thing that is generally recognized in Faerûn. Most of the equipment forged on the assembly line are high-quality products. Those that can produce +1 or +2 magic items are extremely rare. No matter how high-level they are, they are rare.

Because magic items above +3 are not a matter of one or two materials, but involve a combination of multiple materials. It also emphasizes that the production method depends on the material. Many auxiliary forging materials, even extremely rare, must be used in special environments. Save or use.

This series of factors makes it impossible for even dwarves to create such complex forging machinery, or it is not worth manufacturing. Who would invent and build a bunch of complex machinery for items that cannot be mass-produced?

The exiled dwarves of the Kingdom of Tethyama are still an important source of large quantities of high-level magic equipment.

The most important thing is the cooperation to regain the Kingdom of Tesyama.

Recovering this dwarf fortress will not only get stuck in the throat of the Zhentarim like a fish bone, but also have an indirect effect on unifying the entire valley and becoming the king of the valley.

"Okay." Jiharin did not refuse.

The Dragon Skull Throne was too important to him, and he did not dare to place his hopes on others.

Although he also knew that the chance of finding the Dragon Skull Throne from here was very small, he was unwilling to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

After everyone performed the flying operation, they entered the cage shaft again, which was the only passage.

When Gavin came up earlier, the eight steel gates he saw were where the treasure was located.

This is the only way they can get up and down until the cage is repaired and operational again.

"so big!"

"In a dwarf city, why do everything pursue this extreme height?"

"Twelve meters! These gates are actually twelve meters high. Except for cloud giants and storm giants, I really can't think of any creature that needs such a tall gate."

"Supreme Shanatar enslaved a large number of giants in the later period, wrapping up the cloud giants and storm giants who were giant nobles. These passages and doors are most likely prepared for them."

"Supreme Shanatar was so powerful that it could even enslave giants in large numbers. How could it die? How could this city be abandoned by the seal forced by the undead led by a group of undead stone giants?"

“When the dwarves came from the underground to the surface, they were destined to face different enemies than before. They not only had to fight giants, but also humans.

At that time, the psychic regime Zadamus rose to their east and occupied what is now the entire Weihong Sea and surrounding areas.

The fire djinn led his elemental army into Calimshan and established his own empire here, Manon. When the dwarves were busy fighting the war with the giants, he gave them a knife in the back and took away a large area of ​​their land. .

After losing strategic depth, what can a dwarven city do?

Giving up life on the surface and returning underground was the wisest choice at that time. At that time, many shield dwarves chose to go north and open up new clan homes.

Without this migration to the north, there would be no Yuanshan today, no Mithril Hall, and no Kingdom of Tethyama.

Although the Supreme Shanatar has perished, the people of Shanatar have not perished. They have spread their branches across a wider land and created more dwarf brilliance. "

"Thank you, patriarch, for your advice."

"This is my personal interpretation, and it is not accurate. The demise of any country cannot be attributed to a single reason. It is likely to be a mixture of multiple reasons."

"Stop chatting and get ready to open the door."

Gavin was in a hurry and didn't have time to observe these steel gates. This time when he actually stood in front of them, he found that they were just like the rest of the Colossus City, astonishingly tall, twelve meters tall.

Except for cloud giants and storm giants, no one can think of any creature that needs such a high door.

Jihalin took the opportunity to educate them about the history of the Northern Shield dwarves. He even found out the true origin of Colossus City.

This city was founded 6,700 years ago to commemorate the greatest hero and general of the Supreme Shanatar, Karion Culdiver. Because it resembles the image of a weeping dwarf, it is named the Wailing Dwarf.

The reason for this image is that he is the dwarf general who led the dwarf army to defeat the giant army. He ordered the massacre of more than five thousand giants, and has a series of reputations such as giant killer and giant terminator.

He cried out in front of the Giants' Plain, not for the giants he slaughtered, but for the dwarves who died here because of his orders.

The world only saw that he successfully slaughtered five thousand giants, but they did not know how many dwarves fell in the process.

The success of all generals and marshals is built on the bones of their enemies, as well as those of their own people.

Don't think that knowing history is useless.

This is a very important task in finding those ruins and treasures. Many puzzles and treasures are hidden in these seemingly plausible legends.

Gavin had previously sent people to follow the clues from the Council of Death Chiefs to the dwarf graves to lay the groundwork for his infiltration operation. It was also an application of historical knowledge.

"How do you open this door?" Everyone's eyes fell on Chief Jihalin.

Not to mention that there aren't any handles on this steel gate. Even if there were, with its size, they wouldn't be able to open it with their small bodies.

Jiharin did not answer directly, but after flying close, he stroked and knocked on the steel door for a while and then said: "This is a double door. One is a magic seal with the heart of regeneration. This door is not difficult to open, and the other is The first level door is purely physical. This one is connected to the cage shaft. Do you see these thick pipes?

It should be filled with high-pressure steam. With the help of the high-pressure steam, the door can be easily opened with the switch under the board. Otherwise, even two storm giants will not be able to pull these doors in. "

"There is no shortage of high-pressure steam in the Colossus dungeon, but the pipes connecting the two sides have been cut off during the transformation process. It will not be possible to reconnect them in a short time." Gavin said with some regret.

In order to activate the Dungeon of the Colossus, the gray dwarves made a lot of modifications. Many devices that were originally connected to the mineral veins on the ground have either been blocked or have been modified.

Reconnecting the two will be a big project.

For a while, there was no way to see the scene where the ground and underground of Colossus City were connected and in full production.

"I will remove the magic seal first. Without its obstruction, this steel door alone cannot stop us." Jihalin held up the Heart of Regeneration, and as it slowly rotated, each dwarf talisman appeared. The image of the text is mapped onto the steel gate.

A large number of dwarf runes were activated and emerged. When the missing part was repaired, there was a shattering sound like glass. All the dwarf runes disappeared, leaving only the thick steel door.

Only the door of pure physics is left, which is really difficult for Gavin and his team.

They have a large number of spells that can solve this problem, such as wall penetration, or escape into the ether or shadow, and pass directly through above.

The simplest method is to escape into the shadow. Covering your body with a ghost cloak can achieve this effect.

The main function of this steel gate is not to prevent people from entering or exiting, but as a part of the cage shaft to prevent problems caused by a huge hole in part of the cage when it is moving up and down.

The steel door is not only large, but also unexpectedly thick, dozens of centimeters long, and the weight is staggering. It is definitely not something that can be opened by human hands.

Everyone used the shadow cloak to pass through the steel gate very smoothly. Just as they entered it, there was a banging sound of "Boom...Boom...Dang...Dang..." in their ears.

"The mineral vein sealing technique not only seals the mineral veins, but also seals the dwarves here as well?"

Everyone looked at each other with unconcealed surprise in their expressions. The same questions couldn't help but come to mind. Some people even couldn't help but scream.

After all, this vein sealing technique is very similar to the imprisonment technique. During the sealing period, time completely stops flowing here. If those dwarves seal themselves in it, theoretically, when the seal is lifted, they will be no different from the moment they were sealed.

If this is true, then this dwarf treasure is not a surprise, but a shock.

After all, if the original owner is still here, does this city belong to Gavin? Or to these dwarves?

If these dwarves ask him for control of the Colossus City, will he give it up?

If he does, he will definitely be unwilling.

If he doesn't, he will go to war with the ancestors of the dwarves, and the entire northern dwarves will probably stand against him.
