170 Thick Sour Smell
“Delicious.”
“Right? This piece of meat is worth it. Fang Ping, do you want to drink? There’s also a glass of wine here, but I tried it just now. It doesn’t taste very good, so I didn’t help you take it.”
Fang Ping shook his head. “It’s fine. There’s no need to trouble yourself. Andre and the others said that they’re going to the tavern on the first floor to drink later. I’ll try again at the tavern. Oh right, are the Dwarves’ language the same as ours?”
Edvin thought for a moment. “More or less. I can understand most of them, but the pronunciation of the individual words is a little different. But communication is fine.”
!!
“Well …”
THUD!
The wooden door was pushed open heavily, and a group of Dwarves rushed in. All of them were wearing armor and holding weapons, fully armed.
The Dwarf in the lead had white hair and a white beard. His eyes widened as he scanned the people in the room. “Who let you in!”
Fang Ping and Edwin looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They did not know what had happened, but they felt that the atmosphere was not right.
The surrounding soldiers also put down their knives and forks and looked at him.
He repeated, “Who let you in!”
Still no one spoke.
He waved his hand. “Armored soldiers, take them away. If they resist, kill them!”
“What do we do now?”
“You actually asked me? Shouldn’t you be thinking of a solution now? You even asked me what to do. Hmph!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’re all Fang Ping’s team. I believe Ivan won’t leave us alone.”
“So what do you think we should do now? Will Ivan not even know we’ve been captured?”
“That won’t happen.”
“My hand hurts. That Dwarf grabbed me too hard. You don’t even care about me.”
“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. I’ll help you…”
“It was the Dwarf King who let us in, but that white-bearded old man still came to find trouble with us. If you have the ability, go catch the Dwarf King. What’s the point of looking for us?”
“Yes, yes.”
Edwin and Stacy leaned against the corner, talking quietly.
Fang Ping pressed himself against the metal door, feeling the thick sour stench behind him.
Especially from Stacy. She had been seriously injured during the avalanche and had been cut all over in the cave tunnel. She had never cried out in pain.
Yet it was “painful” just from being scratched?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Fang Ping leaned against the metal door and looked out through a small crack at the edge. He could only see a Dwarf’s thick arm.
There were Dwarves guarding the door.
He listened carefully. It was very quiet outside. There was no movement.
He wondered when Ivan would arrive.
In the dark and narrow room, there was also a soldier from the Lord’s Guards. He sat in the corner with his eyes closed, resting. He had no intention of communicating with Fang Ping’s team.
Fang Ping sat down as well. The room, which was less than ten square meters, was enclosed and dark. Only a weak light shone through the gap between the door and the door.
Accumulate energy.
With the help of the Tranquil Heart Necklace, there was no need to relax at all. After closing his eyes for a while, golden light spots appeared around him.
…
“Great Elder Bronzebeard, what do you mean?”
“After the Snow Moon, the Holy City of Kailund will be sealed off. This is an ancient rule. As the Dwarf King, you’ve openly broken the rules. I’ll report this to the Holy Hammer Council.”
“Go if you want. Where are they? Where did you take them?”
“In a very safe place.”
BANG!
Su Dongxiong slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Bronzebeard’s nose and said, “Old thing, where are my people? I don’t care what kind of spears and shields you Dwarfs have. Let my people out. Do you really think my temper is as good as your Dwarf King’s? If they’re even slightly injured, I’ll tear down your Dwarf City!”
Bronzebeard glared at Su Dongxiong. “Do you really think the Holy City of Kailund is a Gnome’s resting place? Let me tell you, a mere Legendary creature like you can’t cause any trouble.”
“Then I can kill you now!”
“You!”
“Let’s see who can protect you!”
Bronzebeard’s eyebrows were trembling. “If I die, all of them will die!”
Su Dongxiong turned his head sharply and scanned the Dwarf guards in the hall behind him. He took three steps forward and grabbed one of the Dwarfs. “It’s you! Iron Hammer, I’ll take this Dwarf away.”
Su Dongxiong carried the Dwarf guard and rushed out of the hall as if he was light as a feather.
The others in the room were still looking at each other, wondering what had happened.
The Dwarf King looked at Bronzebeard. “Great Elder Bronzebeard, don’t always be immersed in the ancient teachings. The world has changed.”
“He’s challenging the dignity of the Holy City of Kailund!”
“He’s just provoking you. It won’t be that easy to tear down our Sacred City, but it’ll be easy for him to kill you.”
With that, the Dwarf King turned around and walked out.
“That’s right.” The Dwarf King stopped and turned around. “There’s no need to doubt him. He will really attack. He’s the leader of the Mad Dog Mercenary Group. Just because the Mad Dog is full doesn’t mean he won’t go crazy.
“Go to the Holy Hammer Council and find trouble with me then. Don’t find him. Otherwise, the Dwarves won’t be able to protect you.”
As the Dwarf King spoke, he walked out of the hall. In the corridor, he shouted outside, “Be gentle. Don’t kill him.”
As he watched the Dwarf King leave, Bronzebeard slumped into his chair.
The Dwarf guards standing around him didn’t move at all.
…
Fang Ping did not accumulate energy for long before he heard the banging sounds outside, mixed with babbling and shouting. He stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, took a step back, and distanced himself from the iron gate.
Bang!
The steel door opened.
Ivan stood outside the door.
“Let’s go.”
…
There was a small interlude. The soldiers and Fang Ping’s team were still discussing what had happened when Fang Ping and the others returned smoothly.
Ivan was quite efficient.
He stood at the front of the corridor and said, “Everything is normal.”
With that, he left.
“Stacy, Edwin, are you all right?”
“Fang Ping, what’s wrong with you guys?” Qing Niao came up to him.
“I’m fine. By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to drink? Did you drink?”
Andre also appeared. Behind him were Red Camellia Snake, Feng Ling, and a snake.
“Fang Ping, it’s good that you’re fine. We’re still waiting for you. It’s not too late now. Let’s go now.”
“Alright, by the way, money is universal, right?”
Red Camellia Snake walked up from behind and said, “Dwarves have their own currency, but they can also accept Human money. As long as the material of the money is the same, there won’t be a problem.”
Feng Ling whispered at the side, “Why don’t you just say it’s universal?”
The people in the corridor dispersed one after another. Fang Ping followed them to the first floor for a drink.
First, they walked along the circular corridor. From a high vantage point, hanging cages were connected to various places. However, they were distributed to this huge circular corridor. The gap between each two hanging cages was very far.
Other than the hanging cages, there were also some stone stairs that had been dug out. However, because Red Camellia Snake did not want to climb the stone stairs, the group could only sit in the hanging cage.
It had something to do with Red Camellia Snake’s attire. She was wearing a short skirt that looked like a cheongsam. It was bright red and it was inconvenient for her to climb up the stone stairs.
By the way, Dwarves did not wear dresses, regardless of gender.
There was a special waiting area in the cage. Red Camellia Snake explained it very well. The left side was up, the right side was down, and they just had to stand in the designated area and wait.
