Divine Flame Crystal

The entire winemaking process took Xingluo more than twenty days. Fortunately, after the various ingredients and temperature and humidity were determined, a large batch could be brewed in a few days. He had no plans to sell this kind of liquor to the mainland for the time being. Now, he had accumulated 5 square meters of liquor in his ring, which was enough to tempt the group of red-bearded dwarves.

After wasting so much time, Xingluo couldn't wait to leave for Barbados. However, in order to avoid the "interrogation" from happening again, he first called all the senior executives to hold a meeting in the main hall of the castle. He said that he planned to recruit dwarves in order to develop the mercenary group. As a result, Xingluo was unanimously opposed as soon as he opened his mouth. Even the usually calm Landis said, "I think the possibility of success of this is very low."

"I think it's okay."

"I don't think so."

……

After half a day of arguing, Xingluo's tone was a little low. "I know the possibility is very low, but how can we know if we don't try? The scale of our mercenary group will eventually expand, and of course we will lack good equipment. Dwarves are the best craftsmen on the continent, so we must be brave enough to try..."

Finally, under Xingluo's persuasion, everyone reluctantly agreed to this action, but the condition was that Tiffany and Ying would accompany him. As the deputy leader, Mo temporarily took over the management of the mercenary group from Xingluo, but Xingluo had no experience in management. As the most knowledgeable person in the mercenary group, Landis cooperated with Mo to handle the affairs of the mercenary group, while Erwin took on the task of training primary and intermediate knights.

Apart from the army, most of the mages are still fighting on their own and lack a unified command. Xingluo does not have time to solve this problem for the time being, so he has to let the recruited mages practice and meditate on their own. If they don't understand, they can ask Atlantis.

Xingluo, Tiffany and Ying set off for Barbados, and Xi was of course held in Xingluo's arms. They first teleported to Luoshen Town, and then began to move south. This time, the tool they chose was the common flying beast on the continent - the wyvern. It was not too crowded for three people to ride on one.

After a day and a night, they finally flew to a place where there was a sweet smell in the air. They took out the map and compared it briefly, and found that it was Barbados. Looking south, there was only a deep blue sea. However, they circled in the air several times and did not find any trace of dwarves.

Xingluo woke up Xi who was sleeping with some confusion, but Xi scratched Xingluo's fat hand with his claws in dissatisfaction, "Idiot! Of course dwarves live underground, and landed in that orchard first."

Xingluo looked at Xi speechlessly and muttered, "How would I know if you don't tell me?"

"what?"

Tiffany turned her head and looked at Xingluo with some confusion, "Who are you talking to?"

Xingluo accidentally said it out loud, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Nothing, let's go down first, the dwarf should be nearby."

The wyvern fell towards the orchard under the control of Ying, and a stronger fruit fragrance spread out. "Where is the entrance to the dwarves?"

Xi licked his right front paw gracefully and communicated with Xingluo using his mental power, "There is a relatively large hill deep in the orchard. There is a natural cave on the back of the hill. That is the entrance."

"So simple?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Xingluo looked at the map and said, "Go this way. Ying, you are responsible for reconnaissance, and Tiffany follows me closely."

After Xingluo finished speaking, he watched Ying disappear from the spot. Only with his mental power could he vaguely track Ying. He was already lurking in the shade of a tree. Tiffany looked at these gray-brown trees and found that they were full of tempting tender green fruits. Xingluo picked one and tasted it twice. The sweet smell immediately spread in his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction and picked one for Tiffany as well. "It's delicious and not poisonous."

Tiffany glanced at Xingluo, took the fruit, and bit it lightly with her pearly teeth. Immediately, the moist and sweet taste filled her mouth. "It's so sweet. I've never eaten such a special fruit before."

"Let's go, let's go find the dwarves." Xingluo said and walked forward first. Tiffany looked at Xingluo's back and hurriedly followed. She also ate the green fruit.

Xingluo was not afraid of poison, after all, dragon blood was immune to most toxins, not to mention this single-colored fruit. As a great magic-level alchemist, if he was poisoned to death by a fruit, he would be ridiculed. Xingluo walked in the direction Xi pointed, and sure enough, he saw a huge hill in front of him. After going around the hill, a slightly shorter cave came into view.

Xingluo activated the magic shield and told Tiffany and Ying to be careful, then he bent down and walked in first. Now that his strength had greatly increased, his courage had also increased a little, but no one knew that he released several life-saving magic spells as soon as he entered the cave.

The cave was not deep, and soon reached the end. However, there was nothing in front of it, and there was no trace of the red-bearded dwarf. Tiffany turned around several times and asked doubtfully, "Captain, are you sure this is the place?"

"Hey, Xi, what's going on?" Xingluo didn't rush to answer Tiffany, but touched Xi's head with her fingers.

"Don't worry. There is a protruding stone on the wall in front of you. Find it and turn it all the way to the right, then press it down."

Xingluo walked over doubtfully, and then began to touch the wall like a fool. Tiffany and Ying saw Xingluo jumping up and down on the wall, just like a gecko walking.

“Puff!” Xingluo’s fat body trembled as he jumped. Tiffany finally couldn’t help it and started laughing, “Hahaha, Captain, what are you doing?”

Xingluo felt like strangling Xi to death at this moment. There were bulges on the wall, but there was more than one. He had to try them one by one. He didn't know whether Xi did it on purpose or really didn't know and didn't tell him the specific location.

So Xingluo jumped up and down on this wall which was neither big nor small. After a long time, Xingluo finally touched a stone which looked ordinary but felt completely different. He tried to rotate it to the right, and sure enough, the thing began to make a "clicking" sound. Then he pressed it hard, and a loud "boom" sound began to echo in the cave.

Tiffany seemed to have a drunken feeling again this time. The ground began to shake, and then the ground began to crack under her feet. She hurried to the side, and a deep passage appeared under everyone's feet.

Xingluo let out a long sigh. This dwarf was really capable. He used his mental power as soon as he entered the cave, but he didn't find anything abnormal on the ground or walls. Now that he thought about it, there must be something here that could interfere with his mental power.
