Awakening of Rebirth

With the help of Ron and his friends, Changsheng and his party were teleported to Eggert. After the teleportation array disappeared in front of his eyes, there was a gust of hot wind. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a room with In the hut with all kinds of blacksmithing tools, the fire in the blacksmithing furnace quietly illuminates the fine pattern left on the ground. The middle-aged dwarf, who is shirtless and sweaty, put down his staff, stepped forward and bowed respectfully. : "Your Highness."

Chang Sheng couldn't help but be amazed that this dwarf was doing Ainota's official ceremony.

"Dwarf?" Baozi was obviously as shocked as Chang Sheng.

The middle-aged dwarf glanced at Baozi, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Why, the little guy who grew up in Ainota, is it strange to see people from Eggert?"

"No, no, no." Baozi quickly waved his hands and explained earnestly: "Dwarves seldom practice magic. You are so powerful that you can bring us here. I...I am very surprised."

Dwarves are good at many things, but if you want to say what they are least good at, it must be magic.Because there is an inexplicable difference in physique from other races, it will be very difficult to practice magic, so the dwarves rarely have outstanding mages.Due to the lack of convenience brought by magic, the dwarves focused on alchemy and forging.

Suddenly a dwarf mage appeared in front of him, which was very shocking.

The middle-aged dwarf smiled, walked to the iron stove, picked up the knife that he hadn't hit before, and boasted: "Well, the world is so big, there are always geniuses."

As he said that, he sighed with emotion: "I was obsessed with magic when I was a child, and I was spanked, and then I finally persuaded my family to send me to Taran for further study... By the way, Ron and I met at that time, how young we were at that time , we also liked a school girl who worked in the canteen together."

The sound of hammering irons sounded rhythmically, and the middle-aged dwarf casually talked about the past, and fell into a burst of memories: "That girl is very beautiful, and she is also a kind person. Every time she goes to pick up food, she remembers my preferences and specially gives me more. Point. At that time, Ron and I rolled the dice to decide who would confess his love. The boy is stupid, of course he didn't see it, so he can only admit defeat and watch me confess."

"What happened later?" Jiang Zheng fanned himself with his hands.

"Later I was rejected, and the girl didn't say why, she just shook her head and said I'm sorry, hey, I'm so sad, that was my first love." He didn't stop working, smiled indifferently, and said : "After much deliberation at the time, I felt that people thought I was short. Yes, when I first chased her, she was a head taller than me. When I graduated, she was almost two heads taller than me. I really stood with her. , I’m also embarrassed, aren’t I?”

"After the confession was rejected, Ron laughed at me for a while, but he ran to confess and was rejected, and he couldn't laugh when he came back. We drank together all night, got confused, and met a girl. He thought it was the school girl we liked, and when he came up, he pulled someone else's little hand to confess, but it turned out that the girl next door was from the melee fist department, so she beat him backhanded, and woke up the next day with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and it took more than half a month Just disappear."

As the current protector of the country, Ron is praised by everyone in Ainota, and anyone who mentions him will not be disrespectful. At this time, the dwarf in front of him suddenly recalled Ron's unknown youth. Deeds, people can't help but be dumbfounded.

"Can't believe it? It just happened to be true. The year I graduated, my grades were considered excellent. The Ron family was very powerful, so they helped me find a small official in Taran for a few years. Later, something happened to my family. Came back early."

"I went to Talan again ten years ago. He has become famous. He has grown a lot of beard, and his whole personality has grown a lot. He doesn't say or do anything. I can't find any trace of the past, which made me very restrained. Seeing my restrained face, he smiled at me and called me the nickname I had when I was studying. I was stunned for a long time before I suddenly realized that the wrinkled old man is still the boy I was eating, drinking and chasing schoolgirls with, "

The middle-aged dwarf said, and couldn't help feeling: "Old, that guy is old. The human race's lifespan is like this, and he has lived a long time. His old classmates have left one by one, so he can still last a long time." Put the old bones, occasionally there is a little news from afar."

The lifespan of a dwarf is more than twice that of a human, and it is inevitable to see old friends pass away one by one when they make good friends with the human race.But thinking about it carefully, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, so he can say these words so lightly, so he naturally looked away.

Time has never been gentle to anyone.

Looking at the fire, Chang Sheng sighed secretly, while Jiang Zheng seemed too hot, walked to the door and said, "I also had a very good friend when I was young, but he changed later."

"What did it become?" he asked back.

Changsheng calmly stepped forward and took Jiang Zheng's hand, exerting a little force on his fingertips, as if signaling her not to continue talking.

But Jiang Zheng didn't listen to her, and continued to pretend to say casually in a nonchalant tone: "I don't know, I just feel that he is plotting something secretly, and the whole person has become very strange, very strange. Dangerous, don't trust me like before, tell me everything."

"And then? How did you and that friend go?"

"I don't know what to do. He even asks me to do some things for him. I can't tell whether it's good or bad. I don't know what benefits these things are for him... You say, if I help him Would it be a mistake to leave him?" Jiang Zheng said, looking up at the middle-aged dwarf, trying to catch the clues he wanted in his expression.

The middle-aged dwarf was stunned for a few seconds, as if he had realized something. After a moment of silence, he just smiled and put down his work, saying, "No, you have to trust him."

After all, he quickly changed the subject and greeted the guests sent by his old friend from thousands of miles away.

Jiang Zheng rubbed her shoulders, turned around and followed Chang Sheng without incident, but said the word "suspicious" in a very low voice next to her ear at the moment she was on the wrong side of Chang Sheng.

"Look, I don't usually have anyone here, so don't be surprised if I don't greet you well."

"It's cooler here, sit, sit, sit."

"Ron said that you have something important to do and you need to go to Statar. Let me cooperate as much as possible. I see that you have come in a hurry and there are not many salutes. Do you need my help to prepare something?"

The middle-aged dwarf is very enthusiastic, but the poorly furnished living room, the rickety bench under his buttocks, and the chipped water bowl all point to the truth that he is not rich at all, and he still wants to help prepare something .

With this situation and what Jiang Zheng said just now, Chang Sheng suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She pondered for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject: "Senior, we don't know your name yet."

The middle-aged dwarf was stunned for a moment, and immediately recovered his senses with an "oh", stood up straight, and cleared his throat.

He said, "My name is Laki Tofenter Mzurren Simbussi Erhto Kat Trolom..."

"..." Baozi subconsciously changed his sitting position.

"Dee Chase Rodney Morris Pigou Meletosh..."

"..." Jiang Zheng swallowed.

"Roventus Joan Adlet Gersd Nelson."

"..." Chang Sheng suddenly felt a headache.

Except for Blind, who couldn't be dumbfounded and could only frown slightly, Changsheng Jiangzheng and Baozi were both dumbfounded. They didn't dare to confirm that the name had no follow-up until a few seconds after the middle-aged dwarf's voice fell.

"That..." Jiang Zheng weakly raised his hand, "I didn't remember."

"I can't remember what's normal. My ancestors were great heroes during the founding of Eggert. In order to remember the past glory and glory of the family, the prestigious people in the family decided to add the name of the previous generation to the surname of the next generation. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become like this here." He shook his head and said, "Just call me Lackey."

"Trash?" Jiang Zheng looked puzzled.

"Well, Lackey."

Chang Sheng cleared his throat, and said, "Well... let's get back to the topic."

***

Changsheng learned from Lagi that on the top of the Eggert Mountains not far away, there stands a magnificent thousand-year-old city - Statar.

People called it the Immortal City, the impregnable capital of the dwarf kingdom.

The history of Eggert can be described as very long. Book records show that the city existed for thousands of years before the ancestors of Ainota were born.

A long time ago, the dwarves lived here. They were good at digging, building, and smelting. They quickly moved from wildness to civilization. They built towns and villages on the rugged mountains, and finally established the first kingdom in the history of El and the mainland, and continued. to date.

Eggert is located in the northern part of the mainland, with a coastline on one side and mountains on several sides, forming a tendency that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Such a natural barrier keeps them from being invaded by war, and the rich materials near the mountains and the sea make their national strength even stronger.They love peace, have never expanded their territory in the form of aggression, and their population is not very large, but despite this, they are still one of the three major countries in El and the mainland.

However, when Eggert was founded, Statar City did not exist. The history dates back to the third hundred years after the five clans joined forces to wipe out the black dragon from the mainland. The new king suddenly ordered that on the highest and largest volcano in Eggert, It took 23 years to build this city with a lot of money, and even invited countless powerful foreign magicians to work together to lay many barriers for it, making it invincible.

800 years ago, the Statar Volcano erupted once. The volcanic cloud brought despair to this area in the shortest possible time. The hot magma seemed to be able to swallow everything. Wherever it passed, the mountains and forests were turned into ashes, and the sea was tumbling. Boiling, even a few nameless villages and a small city with a population of tens of thousands suffered a hopeless and complete destruction in this disaster.

Towns and villages far outside the disaster area trembled together, and volcanic ash covered nearly one-fifth of Eggert's territory.Thick black smoke lingered in the sky for a long time, and after several heavy rains, the Statar volcano finally calmed down.

After the thick smoke dissipated, the dwarves who had lingering fears were shocked to find that the imperial capital they built on top of the volcano was still persevering.Under the powerful enchantment, with faith and hope, the people in the city survived the most frightening and helpless period of time.

At the end, Lackey did not forget to add that his grandfather's grandfather was also in the city at that time.

The seal of the five elements, the tree of life in Vodo is wood, the hopeless sea of ​​Wagron is water, the tower of Talan into the clouds is earth, and the Statar volcano in Eggert should be the fire among the five stars.Although there is no mention of the black dragon in all the legends, the city that was suddenly cast on the top of the volcano may have been born for protection, but it has been gradually forgotten by people in the passing years.

Could the disaster 800 years ago be related to the gradual awakening of the black dragon's consciousness?If the keel is really in it, how can I get it?

And, if Ron is really untrustworthy, how to return to Ainota after obtaining the keel, and how to take the keel under the cloud tower after returning will become a big problem.

Chang Sheng frowned subconsciously, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lackey suddenly interrupted the contemplation: "You don't trust Ron, do you?"

The author has something to say: You may not believe me if I say it, a few days ago I got a new keyboard with great difficulty, and my computer broke down again. I just reinstalled the system last night, and today I came back from death.
