After a one-day tour around Helin, the curse crow came to the stronghold again the next day.
"How do you do, Mr. DIPP. My grandfather is waiting for you in the study." Standing in front of the gate, the retinue, wearing the soldier''s unique badge and armor, said respectfully to the curse crow.
The fort hammerhead looks more magnificent during the day than at night. The special construction technology makes the castle look as impregnable as a whole piece of steel in the sun. Following the guide''s attendants from the main entrance into the castle, the curse crow found that the fortress of Lord hammering did not seem to have many guards. However, if you think of the dummy I met before, I''m afraid the role of these guards is just decoration.
Different from the curse crow''s conjecture, as he went deeper into the castle, the magician was surprised to find that the room of the Lord hammer was not at the top of the castle. It''s under the castle! This makes the curse crow feel very curious. Although he has heard all kinds of anecdotes about Lord liehammering, this practice, which is almost opposite to all nobles, is more exaggerated than the hearsay.
But this is just the beginning. When entering the castle''s underground, the curse crow could not help rubbing his eyes, he could not understand what he saw. If the above ground part of the fort is a regular Lord''s castle, then its underground part is obviously much larger than the ground!
Mantra crows have heard that icebergs in cold waters will only show a very small part on the water surface, which is very similar to the situation of liehammerberg. The hall, which is enough to hold a hundred people team, leads to the surrounding corridors like cobwebs, and the faint sound of iron tapping from the depths of the corridors. This is not something that human beings can build. The magician had been guessing about the identity of the Duke. Now what he saw made him more sure of his guess.
"Here we are." The servant brought the magician to a door made of metal, on which was carved a hammer with extremely complicated patterns, which looked like the hammer had just been taken out of the fire.
Such a heavy door will not rely on human power to open and close. The valet pulled down a leather rope next to him, then put his hands on his side and stood aside as if he had finished his task. It seems that the rope should be connected with some kind of device to inform the people in the house, because soon the gate sank nearly a step inward and slid to the left to reveal the scene of the house.
When the curse crow entered the room, the iron door closed quietly behind him.
"Ah, Mr. deep, welcome to your visit." Said a deep, rough voice. The sound is reminiscent of the sound of a broken bellows being pulled. But it''s no surprise that dwarves are never known for their good voices.
"How do you do. It''s a pleasure to meet you. " Deep, or curse crow, was not frightened by the man in front of him. From the name of the Lord of the iron castle, to the architectural style of the fort and the huge underground space under the castle, all these evidences point to the fact that the Lord of liehammers is a dwarf.
Dwarfs are creatures that have a humanoid outline, but are much shorter than normal humans. Their height is only about one meter. For most adults, this height is only slightly higher than the waist, but it is still much higher than the dwarfs. At the same time, compared with the thin dwarf, the dwarf is very strong.
For example, although the dwarf was wearing a heavy bear skin cape and a dress lined with armor, it did not affect the crow''s ability to see the outline of his muscles. This is also the characteristic of most dwarfs. Their muscle density is much higher than that of humans, which makes them inferior in height, but most human beings are not even rivals of female dwarfs if they simply compete for strength.
In addition, although many people believe that dwarfs have some kind of worship for beards, in fact, except for some tribes or clans, most dwarfs have the habit of trimming their beards like humans, and female dwarfs do not have the same beard as men, as rumored.
Although the dwarf''s hair was tied in two braids in front of his ears, his jaw was as smooth as the surface of an egg. In addition, it is worth mentioning that he wore a decorative metal headring on his head. The head ring flashed with magic light under the vision of the curse crow.
"You don''t look surprised?" Seeing the calm appearance of the curse crow, big Duke liehammer tilted his head and asked. Listening to his tone, he seems to be a little disappointed at the master''s calm.
"Me? Of course I was surprised. However, I am not surprised that you will be a son of mountains, but I am surprised that your existence will become a noble of the capital of mankind. I thought your race wasn''t interested in rights. " The curse crow responded, and at the same time, he walked to the desk in the study and moved a chair for himself. If you wait for a straight dwarf to ask you to sit down, it won''t take too long. Dwarfs are not used to human politeness.
"It doesn''t sound like you''ve dealt with us for the first time, wizard." The dwarf''s mouth shows a smile. He has been with human beings for a long time, and in order to integrate into human society, he has to make some compromises. Now the Duke is very happy to see that the mantra crow can communicate with him with his attitude towards dwarves. As for how he saw that the crow was the caster, the magician guessed that it had something to do with his headband."Yes, I have had the privilege of carrying out some missions with the dwarfs of the iron hand clan." Said the magician. This is not a lie. In the task given by the grey tower, the curse crow did have a brief cooperation with some dwarfs.
"Iron hand? Ha, those guys can''t do anything but gloves. But their wives are very strong. " Big Duke liehammer said so, and his face showed the expression of aftertaste. However, mantra crow doesn''t want to know what he is recalling. Dwarf women and men are almost the same size. In human eyes, these dwarf women full of muscle have no aesthetic feeling.
Fortunately, the Duke''s memory did not last long, and soon the dwarf returned to the conversation. He took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard, poured some of it into his glass made of goat horn and drank it down.
"You know what? I don''t like you witches very much. Although you are much stronger than ordinary people, as long as you appear, it means that something very bad will happen. But sometimes it''s impossible without you guys in robes
Said the dwarf, and then took out a cup which was the same as the one in his hand. After pouring some wine, he pushed it to the curse crow.
"Anyway, since this is the case with the grey lion, as the Duke of this kingdom, I welcome you. The wizard. "
