this mage is dangerous

"It's more like a fortress assembled to the teeth than a city."

"Judging from the construction craftsmanship, this city has a history of at least three hundred years!"

A blue light flashed out of the corner of Bone's eyes, and the system quickly transmitted the analysis results.

"More than three hundred years? How is that possible!"

Although Lispel couldn't believe it, she didn't question Born's judgment.

And soon Bone's words were verified.

A group of strange-looking dwarves appeared on the city wall.

They are about 1.2 meters tall. Different from the common dwarves with round bodies and strong muscles on the surface, these dwarves are relatively thin, which can even be described as emaciated. Their shoulders are very broad, and their limbs are disproportionately strong. They seem to be "deformed".

"!

It seems that due to living underground for a long time, the skin of these "dwarves" is light gray or dark gray, and they are all bald. From their smooth minds, it can be seen that they are not shaved, but really bald.

.

However, the iconic long beard of the dwarves is still there, otherwise Lispel would have thought it was some strange race!

"What a dwarf!"

Lispel stared as if she wanted to take a closer look.

"Grey dwarves! If I guess correctly, they should be the legendary gray dwarves!"

Boyne said.

"Dergar?"

"Yes, the relatives of the shield dwarves are also considered a branch of the Danzo dwarves and a branch of the dwarves!"

"The gray dwarves live in the underground cities in the Underdark. They are close relatives of the shield dwarves. They are known for their cruelty and coldness. Like their surface relatives, the gray dwarves are famous underground for their craftsmanship..."

"Famous...underground?"

"Well, it's famous underground."

"No, I mean, since it's famous underground, how did you... know about it?"

"Read the book, there are records in your Arcane Club's library!"

Lispel:......

There are many books in the Arcane Club's library. Some of them are various travel notes, autobiographies and other book notes. The actual academy library also has many books, or even more. But who would read such boring things? They don't have enough time to study spells and magic.

It’s not enough, who has time to appreciate those boring works.

As for Bowen, no matter whether it is useful or not, I will read it again.

"I really want to punch this bastard!"

The president gradually clenched his fists.

Bowen smiled at her as if he "felt something from his heart".

"Squat down!"

Suddenly, Bone pressed Lispel down and they squatted down together.

Before the president could react, a sound of cracking through the air sounded from above the two of them. A huge explosion exploded ten meters behind the two of them, and rubble fell like raindrops.

"I said there are so many rubbles here, my feelings are all blown away."

Boen helped the president up and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Such a violent explosion had no impact. It seemed that the underground structure was more stable than he imagined!

"Is it under the mountain range? Where is it?"

Bone looked up, looking at the empty dome and lost in thought.

"What happened? Why did they suddenly shoot in our direction?"

The president looked ahead with a grim expression.

Bone just smiled and said, "It seems that the rumors are true. The gray dwarves were once enslaved by the Mind Flayer. Although they escaped from slavery, they also mastered the Mind Flayer's psychic talent!"

"Are you psychic? Can you sense it from such a distance?"

"I thought so!"

Bone shrugged his shoulders.

"Then why can't it be you?"

"President, "qi" has a certain effect on protecting the soul."

Bone smiled.

Lispel:......

"President, don't be too excited. Violent mood swings are as conspicuous to the eyes of psychics as fireflies in the dark."

"Okay, right...take it easy."

The emotions of magic are easily affected by blood, and most magic families have their own methods and secret methods for controlling emotions.

The Shamsuddin family also has it, and the effect is very good. It can be said to be outstanding in controlling emotions, even better than the breathing method of the Iolum family.

Hussein's elementalization is not without cost. If he could not control his emotions, he would have been overwhelmed by the violent fire element.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Lispel's mood had stabilized, Bone greeted her.

???

"Where to go?"

"Let's go to the city. You're already here. You must go in and have a look."

Bone's words almost broke Lispel's defense again.

Lispel took a deep breath and said, "No, this is not an ordinary city, but a war fortress. The dwarves inside are a completely unfamiliar race. Their attitude towards us is unclear. If they approach us casually, they will be treated as enemies and attacked. Even if they enter very quickly, they will be treated as enemies."

There is a possibility of being arrested and interrogated as an enemy, and the most important thing is that it involves diplomatic issues!"

"Well... you're right!"

Boen thought carefully for a while and agreed. After speaking, he walked directly to the side.

Lispel: "Huh? Where to go?"

Bone looked back at her: "If you don't want to go in, just leave. Are you still staying here?"

Lispel:......

"Gangtu, how are you?"

"Probably missed."

"Then do you want another shot?"

The dwarf took out the crossbow arrow from the side and handed it to Gangtu.

The latter took it over, pulled the string with one hand and installed it directly.

"No need, the induction has disappeared, I've probably run away!"

"Are they those degenerate niggers?"

"It doesn't look like it. It's very unfamiliar. It's not a message of hatred, but more of caution and precaution."

"Oh? A lost dwarf is a coward, hahaha..."

The dwarf next to him laughed.

"Send a few slaves out to take a look. They are probably seriously injured and have fainted."

"I think this is a good idea!"

Bang bang... bang...

The burning branches exploded in the flames, and Lispel fiddled with the branches in the bonfire.

"The barrier has been set up, why don't you rest first?"

Bone sat across from her across the bonfire.

"No, I'll wait for you here."

"Huh? Is it that obvious?"

Lispel rolled her eyes at him, "You didn't hide it in your eyes. There should be something you want there. Although you don't know what it is, you should be worried about me. Go ahead, I'll be waiting here.

"

"There are some things that need to be verified...Thank you."

"No, it's me who has burdened you. I still have some self-awareness. Thanks to you for taking care of me these days!"

Bone looked at her in surprise.

The flames were dancing, illuminating Lispel's face with dazzling brilliance, like an elf in the flames.

An arc fell towards Lisper, who reached out to catch it, which was a milky-white spar.

"This is the space marker. Get it for me. I'll be right back!"

It wasn't until Bone's back disappeared into the darkness that Lispel burst into laughter...

Darkness is the main theme of the Underdark. It's okay to have the fluorescence of fungi when traveling normally, but now that he's speeding up, that little light won't do.

Having night vision does not mean you can actually see in the dark.

[Secret Eye] is online!

His vision has also become different. Ever since he came to the Underdark, Bowen will try to reduce the use of magic power as much as possible.

Not only is the "signal" of the magic network weakened here, but there is a very terrifying existence in the deepest part of the Underdark, and that thing is very sensitive to magic.

Soon Bone returned to the previous high platform again, and the light of the fortress in the distance also became much smaller.

"I'll be relying on you later, little guy. If we are discovered, we will be the ones turned into barbecues."

!」

Bowen lowered his head and said.

"Chacha... Chacha..."

E Ling got out of her collar and raised a fist in protest.

Bone smiled, flew into the air, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness.

When Bone appeared again, he had already entered the fortress.

"What a risk. As expected, there was a barrier for protection, and I was almost exposed."

The dwarf rune Bone has also been studying for some time. Compared with the runes of the dwarves Danzo, the gray dwarf's rune technology is obviously much cruder. Even Bone, a half-assed person, can find several loopholes.

"It's really magma, no wonder the flames are always there."

There is even a smoking pool not far away.

Magma, hot springs.

No wonder the fortress was built here.

Boyn carefully observed the surroundings. The place where he landed seemed to be a place where gray dwarves smelted weapons. There were many blast furnaces and bellows-like things. There were many semi-finished weapons on the table. All kinds of ores were piled everywhere, even Hui.

There are many rare ores such as halo stone, warm crystal, and gray steel.

The purity of the ore is very high, and any piece of it can beat Nese's current ore.

(After Nether cooperated with the dwarf Danzo to open up the black road, he basically purchased the ore from the dwarf)

Boyn's eyes widened when he saw it, and then he unconsciously took a few pieces and put them in his bag.

After that, my hands became a little out of control...

After finally successfully regaining control of his hand, Bone picked up the bag that had become a little "heavy" and walked out.

Then bypassing the guards, Bone took out a talisman and transformed into a gray dwarf with thick limbs.

Transformation Talisman Version 2.0: Can transform into a creature no larger than or smaller than twice its own body weight. Within 1 hour, overtime will cause permanent damage to the user's body.

Although he became a gray dwarf, Bone did not act openly.

Not only because of the language problem, but he found that these gray dwarves have a very strong "smell". Combined with the lack of water resources in the Underdark, these gray dwarves may not be able to take a few baths in their lives...

Plus the lifespan of a dwarf...

This is embarrassing...

The transformation talisman can only change the body and appearance. Even if it tastes good, even if Bone doesn't want it, he will choke to death in less than an hour...

Fortunately, it is "night" and there is almost no one except for the patrolling guards.

In particular, Bone has mastered "Qi" to a considerable extent. Covering the body with "Qi" can isolate the detection of psykers, which is also an important basis for Boyn to dare to sneak in.

Bone would definitely not go to some places that were obviously particularly important buildings and had strong people.

Gray dwarves with relatively low strength and some status became the targets of Bone's patronage.

Just go in and break their necks. If you're not sleeping, just knock them unconscious and break their necks.

Don't say that dwarves have no necks, just press your head and turn it 180 degrees.

There is no psychological burden at all in killing the gray dwarf Bone. Gray dwarves are famously big slave owners.

It's just that there are not many gray dwarves now, and their reputation has not spread yet, but the act of enslaving other races has begun. Almost every gray dwarf house has a room to hold slaves next to it.

Gnomes, cavemen, tauren and other underground creatures, and some even have dark elves.

The gray dwarves were originally called duergar dwarves. After being enslaved by the illithid for thousands of years, they not only inherited some of their psychic talents, but also inherited their preference for enslaving other races.

After becoming serfs and singing songs, they also began to enslave other races.

Born was not interested in liberating slaves. After killing several gray dwarves, he finally found some useful information.

A map of the fortress, and Boyne also knew the name of the fortress.

The City of Blades, Gleixtoug.

"It is indeed this city, then this should be underneath the Osram Mountains!"

Boyne was overjoyed.
