Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Except for Ishtar, none of the girls liked to remain silent, so the dwarves' conversation quickly received a response from them, and they chatted enthusiastically along the way.

In fact, the coldest Ishtar is the one who attracts the most attention. After all, humans cannot bear the huge magic power in the dragon bloodline. Therefore, although there are ordinary orcs such as foxes, werewolves, and cats in this world, there are no dragon people.

The dragon body of the young dragon, the semi-finished product of blood fusion, the blood of Anten Meiko as a harmonizer, and the contractual relationship with the outsider as a connecting bridge, all these almost impossible conditions acted on Ishtar at the same time, making the existence of the dragon man a reality.

This can be considered a miracle.

Ishtar cannot use magic, so he cannot hide his dragon characteristics like Anten Meiko. Putting it here so openly will naturally attract attention.

Of course, the dwarves were just being hospitable but they would not seek trouble. After being repeatedly rejected by Istar, the dwarves no longer went to Istar to say anything.

Meiko Anten actually knew the reason. Ishtar was tortured in pain when he was five years old, and was imprisoned underground for ten years when he was seven years old.

Even though her personality changed drastically due to her dragon bloodline and the pain and torture she suffered, her lack of social contact kept her mental state at the level of a ten-year-old.

Girls at this stage are actually very shy and very sensitive to everything around them. She realizes that she is different from others, so she hides behind Meiko Anten and avoids contact with other people as much as possible with this indifferent attitude.

This kind of personality is very flawed, so Meiko Anten also thought about helping her, letting her feel the life and warmth that a girl should have again, so as to dilute the hostility in her heart.

But she doesn't have the time now. She will set off for the Demon Tribe in two months. Before that, she has to get the stone balls from the dwarves. If she wants to have some free time, she will have to wait until the trip to the Demon Tribe is over and all the stone balls are collected.

The dwarves were renowned for their forging skills, and just as Anten Yazi was still imagining the dwarven kingdom was truly magnificent, Como, who had been leading the conversation, suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, saying, "We're here! This is the entrance to the kingdom."

The girls looked in the direction Como pointed. There was a slightly raised mound of earth, and a door as simple as a torii gate, as if it had been dug out from some unknown corner of the earth, was carved at the entrance to the cave in the middle of the mound.

Moreover, the entrance was only about 1.5 meters high. Except for Ronia who could go in directly, Beth, the shortest person in the team, had to bend down slightly to enter.

"It's really... grand..." The corners of Anten Meiko's mouth twitched. After thinking for a long time, she could only think of this relatively neutral word to describe this entrance.

"Haha, sorry to make you laugh. Actually, the main entrance to the kingdom is not here. It's just the nearest entrance, so I came here."

Como laughed out loud without any concern. He was also a dwarf who had hung out in places like the human race, so he could naturally tell from Anten Yazi's tone and expression that his delusion had been shattered.

It was like when he first came here to learn from human architectural skills because he admired them, but was met with countless cold stares.

"Don't worry about it. Although we dwarves are good at forging, we are not good at construction." A dwarf took over the conversation at this time.

Another dwarf nodded in agreement and added, "It's better to say that we spend all our time on forging, brewing, and drinking. We are not interested in anything else."

Melinda's eyes lit up when she heard about wine. She glanced at Anten Yazi and said, "I've heard that the dwarves' winemaking skills are the best in the world. I wonder if I'll have the chance to taste it this time."

"Don't worry, you are all my friends, Como. I dare not say anything else when you come to my dwarf tribe, but I will definitely provide you with enough drinks."

As Como spoke, he patted his chest confidently. The collision of armors made two crisp metal collisions, which made everyone laugh. The atmosphere was very good for a while.

An Teng Meizi bent down and crawled into the carved door. After passing through the sixty-degree downward tunnel for a while, everything in front of her became completely bright. The space inside became extremely spacious, even larger than An Teng Meizi had imagined.

Moreover, this huge space seems to be used as a transit station. There are many tunnels on the surrounding rock walls that connect to other places. It looks like an ant nest with many interconnected tunnels.

Seeing this scene, Meiko Anten couldn't help but recall the scene when she was still in her original world and explored the Void Beast's lair with her friend Asahina Kamjo.

It’s just that the nest used by the Void Beast is obviously much larger than here in terms of both passages and space.

Volume 7: A Fantastic Journey to Another World: Chapter 197: Goblins

They walked for a long time, going around in circles countless times, passing through one transit space after another, many of which contained defensive fortifications. If they had not been led by the dwarves, the hundreds of passages going back and forth would have been enough to take them a month or two.

"By the way, Cuomo, do you remember the thing I gave you when I left? Did you help me figure out what it was?"

"Of course I remember." Como said this, but he was shaking his head. "I don't know what it is either. I used our dwarven methods to detect a faint spatial fluctuation inside. I originally thought it was some rare metal with spatial properties, but no matter what I did, I couldn't break it."

"I left that thing at home. I'll return it to you when I get back. Also..." After saying that, Cuomo gave Ando Meiko an apologetic look, "I'm so sorry for not finding it out."

"It's okay." Ando Meiko shook her head indifferently.

This was something she accidentally obtained in the dungeon. It didn't matter whether it was useful or not. It seemed that the rewards for clearing the dungeon would not only produce treasures, but also garbage.

"By the way, don't you want to learn the forging techniques of our dwarven tribe? Do you want to stay here for a while?"

"Okay..." Ando Meiko nodded excitedly, but then quickly became frustrated. "But I still have to wait until I finish everything. If I hurry, I should be able to stay here for a month."

Cuomo couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this: "Yazi, you think too highly of yourself to want to learn all my techniques in just one month."

Ando Meiko also smiled, patted her dwarf friend on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to learn everything, I just want to have a basic understanding."

She excels in magic circles, and the reason she wants to learn forging is to gain inspiration from it and acquire the engraving technology that can allow the magic circle to be used for a long time.

The main reason is that she lost her ability to transform, which resulted in the released magic power being unable to be stably retained in the outside world. Therefore, she had no way to use the magic circle to help herself in battle. It can be said that she was powerless even though she wanted to.

The magic circle that the demons had restored in Daba City with the help of the ruins was like a nail that took root next to the imperial city of the Theocracy. The country of Star relied on a large magic circle left over from ancient times to fight against more than 20 dragons with the strength of a single city. These scenes made Ando Meiko sigh with emotion.

The magic circle attainments in her memory were far beyond this world. If she could be given the opportunity to use them in battle, the effect might not be much worse than that of the time in Star Country.

"I see. Once this incident is over, I'll teach you whatever you want to learn. I'll teach you everything I know."

As the clang of armor colliding rang out, Como pounded his chest twice. He would do this every time he made a promise. Perhaps this was a custom of the dwarves.

After wandering around here for a long time, when everyone came out of the last transfer station, everything in front of them suddenly became clear. They came to a cave that was more than ten times larger than all the previous spaces.

Various metals that can serve as light sources are placed on the surrounding rock walls. The soft white light illuminates the entire space, and standard buildings made of stone are scattered here casually.

Although it is called the Dwarf Country, it is actually similar to some larger human villages. Although it covers a large area, from the visual point of view, it is not even as good as the village encountered in the Great Rift Valley.

"How many people are there in your dwarf tribe?" Seeing the not-too-big-small village in front of her, Ando Meiko asked subconsciously.

Cuomo stroked his beard and asked in confusion: "More than 3,000 people, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"No, I just suddenly wanted to know."

Beth saw what Ando Meizi was thinking. She came over, tugged at her skirt, and quietly leaned her head close to her ear and whispered, "There are already a lot of people. Our Silver Fox Clan only had a thousand at its peak."

Upon hearing this, Meiko Ando glanced at Melinda behind her with sudden realization.

It seems that the number of people in each of the non-human races is not large. There are less than a hundred dragons in the dragon clan, less than a thousand silver foxes, and more than three thousand dwarves. The largest race is probably the angel clan with tens of thousands of people.

"My dear, why are you looking at me? We are not the most numerous. The majority are goblins."

"Gnome?" Meiko Ando muttered the name in confusion, then glanced at the dwarf Como beside her, "A little elf...living in the ground?"

Como saw what Ando Meizi was thinking and immediately said, "Don't compare us dwarves to those green-skinned cannon fodder. Those damned creatures are everywhere in the world. Their favorite thing to do is to steal human women to reproduce. But these inferior creatures reproduce so quickly. I'm afraid that all of them combined would outnumber humans several times."

Green-skinned, likes to steal women, exists in large numbers, and reproduces quickly. These characteristics combined together finally allowed Ando Meiko to figure out what these so-called goblins are. Aren't they just goblins?

Goblin is the literal translation of the language of this world, while goblin is the transliteration of "goblin" in her world. No one knows what the relationship is between the two, but at least they definitely represent the same kind of things.

Finally arriving at the Dwarf Country, Como gave his men a few instructions, and he led Ando Meiko and the others towards the village... no, it should be said that it was the tallest and most luxurious building in this country.

"Can you tell me now what happened to your clan?" asked Ando Meiko with a serious face.

Meiko Ando came here with a purpose, but she didn't have much information about the dwarves, so she didn't know what price she could pay.

This must be the imperial city, and the time for an audience has arrived. Ando Meiko wants to get more information, even if it's just a little bit.

Cuomo looked at Ando Meiko with some embarrassment and said, "I don't think you're just here to see me. Why don't you tell me the real purpose of your visit to my Dwarf Country? I might be able to help you."

Ando Meiko nodded in agreement, and then told them that she came to the Dwarf Kingdom to find a stone ball engraved with ancient characters.

"So that's how it is. What you want is the treasure from the myth. Although it's a bit troublesome, I will do my best." Cuomo didn't dare to pat his chest this time, because he didn't dare to guarantee anything on this matter.

Volume 7: A Fantastic Journey to Another World: Chapter 198: The Dwarf King

The seven of them walked into the royal city of the Dwarf Kingdom together. Many Dwarf guards inside wanted to step forward to stop them when they saw the strangers, but when they saw that it was Como who led them, they took back their steps.

Pushing open the door and walking into the main hall, there is the audience hall. The Dwarf King is sitting in the top seat at this time, processing the documents written on stone slabs on the table in front of him.

Hearing someone opening the door and coming in, the Dwarf King raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw Como coming in with a group of people, his brows frowned.

He threw the slate in his hand onto the table, then said to Como in dissatisfaction: "Como, what's wrong with you? Who told you to bring outsiders into our dwarf country?"

The Dwarf King's voice was as deep as the bass in opera, but when he spoke, there was a hint of kingly dominance in his voice.

When he slowly stood up, An Teng Meizi noticed that the Dwarf King was 1.8 meters tall, much taller than many human adventurers.

And he's not just tall. The muscles bulging under his brown skin are as solid as granite, wrapping around his bones without leaving out any part from his neck to his feet.

Meiko Anten felt that the fitness coaches in her world were probably nothing compared to this guy. She had seen many strong guys in this other world, but she didn't expect that the strongest one she had ever seen was not a human, but the dwarf king in front of her.

Seeing the dwarf king's impatient expression, Como immediately knelt on one knee and lowered his head: "Great king, please allow me to defend myself."

Behind Como, Anten Meiko and others also knelt on one knee, until the Dwarf King adjusted his mood a little, and then he said "hmm" softly.

Then Como began to explain, telling everything that happened from the time she first met Anten Meiko until she met Anten Meiko just now.

As Como spoke, the Dwarf King's pupils grew wider and wider, and finally he jumped down the stairs with a bang, landed in front of Como, grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard.

"Really? Are you telling the truth? The relics of Osto..." The Dwarf King turned to look at Anten Meizi and the others who were still half-kneeling. His previous majesty was swept away and he said carelessly, "Don't kneel down. Get up quickly. You saved Como and you are a friend of my dwarf clan. There is no need for so much courtesy when treating friends."

When Anten Meiko stood up, she was greeted by the almost scorching gaze of the Dwarf King. Just now, Como mentioned the Fire Demon Suit in Anten Meiko's hand, and naturally mentioned the original author of the Fire Demon Suit, the dwarf Osto of this world.

This made Anten Meiko a little confused. Legendary weapons didn't seem to exist. She had seen a lot of them in the Dragon King's treasure house in the Dragon Clan before. Why did this group of people care so much about the Flame Demon suit in their hands?

"Why do you dwarves value the Balrog suit so much? You should also be able to forge legendary weapons, right?"

Speaking of which, the legendary weapon already has three engraved spells, and they are three top-level spells of level seven, eight and nine respectively. Compared with the real legendary magic device, his Fire Demon suit that can only enchant, explode, and summon ancient Fire Demons is not worth mentioning at all.

If you really want to fight against an opponent with a legendary magic device, summoning a level 7 ancient fire demon will not only distract you from controlling it, but it will also be a cannon fodder in front of the opponent.

If she hadn't needed a meat shield to temporarily block the Blood Storm's pursuit when she was in the Theocracy, she would never have summoned this thing.

"Little girl, even though there's a huge difference between a pseudo-legendary weapon and a legendary one, the difference isn't in combat power, but in the set. You must have seen quite a few legendary magical devices before you could say that."

Meiko Anten nodded, but soon her expression changed slightly as if she realized something.

"It seems that you have guessed it. I don't know if your answer is correct, so I will explain it to you again." The Dwarf King has already acknowledged Anten Meizi's identity as Como's friend, so when he spoke, he really did not have the airs of a king as he had just said.

This kind of true-natured king may not be suitable for sitting in that position, but he is definitely the most suitable to be a friend. The other party is kind to them, and there is no reason for Anten Meiko not to contact him.

"You've seen so many legendary magical devices, but have you ever seen even one that came in a complete set?"

"No." There was no surprise on Meiko Anten's face. Obviously, this answer was exactly what she thought.

"I wonder if you could lend me that Fire Demon suit so I can admire it?"

Meiko Anten immediately snapped her fingers, and as her innate magic "arsenal" was opened, all the different Flame Demon weapons were projected out by her magic power, and each one was as sharp and hard as the real thing.

Seeing Anten Meiko's questioning look once again, the Dwarf King first grabbed the seemingly insignificant Flame Wheel and said with a smile, "Legendary-level magic devices cannot be used as a set because the efficiency of magic power transmission is too high. As soon as the engraved words are activated, the magic power of each part will affect each other, causing conflicts."

As he spoke, he had already changed the Flame Demon Wheel into a combined link form, and casually pulled out the Flame Demon Dagger and inserted it into one of the slots.

"My great-grandfather was Osto's master, so I know something that others don't. The reason this Fire Demon suit is so weak is because it's just an experiment, used to explore the mysteries of the legendary magic suit."

As the Flame Demon weapons were inserted into the connection slots, complex but seemingly connected magic array patterns began to appear on each weapon.

"It's a pity that his painstaking research yielded no results, and he eventually gave up and presented this set to Lord Flame Dragon King."

"Lord Flame Dragon King?" Hearing this title, Anten Meiko was startled. "Could it be that Vita was once a Dragon King in this world?"

"What a pity, it was just a little bit short, what a pity." Finally, the Dwarf King inserted the last Flame Demon Spear into the connecting slot, and all the patterns were spliced ​​together to form the Flame Demon War Formation.

The Dwarf King carefully examined everything in front of him. Everyone around him looked at him quietly. Several guards standing nearby came over and looked at the Fire Demon Suit in the Dwarf King's hand with shining eyes.

Finally, the Dwarf King sighed, "What a pity! He was just so close. He was just so close. If he had tried a little harder, he would have succeeded."

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 199: Human Relationships

"The king is the best blacksmith among the dwarves. He is much better than me." Como, who had already stood up, came to Ando Meiko and explained softly.

This also means that the Dwarf King has seen everything about the Fire Demon suit that Como could not see at the time. No wonder he knew right away that the Fire Demon Wheel was the key to the combination.

"I see. Because the magical power carried by Word Spirits will cause magical conflicts, they use overlapping methods to construct more stable magic array diagrams on each weapon. However, this requires sacrificing the engraving space. Osto is indeed a genius."

After the Dwarf King sighed, he casually threw the Flame Demon Weapon away. Under Ando Meiko's control, the Flame Demon Weapon turned transparent and completely dissipated.

The Dwarf King returned to his seat on the platform. He slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the nostalgia and regret on his face disappeared, replaced by majesty. "Tell me why you're here."

When she heard that they were going to get down to business, Ando Meiko put away her smile and her expression became serious. She immediately told him the purpose of her coming here without hiding anything.

"Here." The dwarf king took out a stone ball from somewhere. He played with it for a while, then threw it to Ando Meiko, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."

The latter subconsciously raised her hand to take it. She looked at the stone ball in her hand with the ancient word "fire" engraved on it and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is how I got the seventh stone ball? This is too easy, isn't it? A little too simple?

Obviously, the Dwarf King's behavior made Ando Meiko, who had offended all four human superpowers along the way in order to collect stone balls, confused.

If she had not taken out the wooden ball she got from the country of Sta and confirmed its authenticity through the faintly glowing words on both, she would have really thought that the one the Dwarf King casually threw to her was fake.

If the kings of the four superpowers had been so easy to talk to, her journey wouldn't have been so difficult.

The Dwarf King laughed and said, "This thing is useless to us. It's not a forging material, and I don't understand what it's used for. I'm still worried about what to do with it. Now it seems like a good idea to use it to do a favor."

When Ando Meiko heard this, she knew that some trouble was waiting for her. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, her eyes, which had been dull just now, suddenly brightened up.
