Warhammer Wizard

After recognizing Kostarkin* Ironbeard, Ren saw a few more acquaintances.

Zoltan and Blestein were on the list, and in the crowd, he also found Master Grunus, who had once had a relationship.

This rune blacksmith is the creator of the "Hammer of Thunder" in his hands. He has never seen Grunus since he got the Hammer of Thunder at Mrs. Xia Lanwei's trade fair four years ago. Lava Fort.

Grunus is not only a master rune craftsman, but also a legendary mid-level Wildhammer warrior. His seat is at the front, and his position in Lava Castle is obviously very high.

When he saw Ren, his eyes lit up.

Ren nodded slightly to Grunus, followed Magna through the aisle among the dwarves, stepped up the steps step by step, and boarded the throne platform at the foot of the statue of the dwarf patron saint "Mahal".

In the past, there was only one throne on the platform that belonged to King Magna.

Today, there are three large thrones carved out of rock side by side. There is also a tall stone chair next to Dan, which is Ren's position.

Magna ascended the throne, turned and sat down.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

The dwarves bowed to the three kings on the platform, and shouted loudly. After Magna responded, the dwarves sat down one after another.

"Children of the mountains, may Mahal protect you."

Magna spoke in a loud voice, and the majestic and loud voice echoed in the palace, so that every dwarf could hear it very clearly, he raised his hand to signal Ren to stand up, and said: "Many of you already know, this is Earl of Glamorgan from the Oriente Empire, His Excellency Ren Augustus."

The dwarves' eyes focused on Ren again. Some were surprised, some were curious, some were puzzled, and some dwarves who had heard of Ren's name widened their eyes.

Ren simply saluted and responded without speaking.

Magna continued: "Your Excellency the Count came to Lava Castle at my invitation this time, and has an important matter to discuss. This matter is related to the three kingdoms of Lava Castle, Supreme Mountain and Dufeng, and even the world's mountains. The future of all dwarves."

There was a little commotion among the dwarves, and there was a murmur in the palace.

It has been two days since Ren went to the Lava Castle, and the three kings have also gathered in the Lava Castle, but only a few of the upper dwarves know the inside story.

"Your Excellency the Earl will build a new city on Shield Island in the New World." Magna said loudly: "This project is jointly undertaken by the mason guilds of the three kingdoms, and our cooperation with His Excellency the Earl will go a step further. After the city is established, a dwarven district will be set up in the city to receive the people of the mountains. A dwarf army will also be stationed in the city forever."

By the time King Magna spoke, many of the dwarves could not sit still.

Whispers turned into loud noises.

"Mahal Asylum!"

"Earth!"

"Are we finally on the road to restore the glory of our ancestors?" The dwarves exclaimed excitedly, the solemn palace turned into a vegetable market in an instant, noisy, and even the dwarves were so excited that they blushed and hugged the clansmen around them. Together, there are tears in the eyes.

In the eyes of the dwarves, Ren on the stage was like the most precious gem in the world. The dwarves looked at him, and their eyes were shining.

If it wasn't for the presence of the three kings, a dwarf would have rushed up to talk to Ren.

"quiet!"

"quiet!"

Magna shouted several times, and it was difficult for the excited dwarf to calm down. No one spoke, and the palace was still filled with a warm atmosphere.

"The two Your Majesty and I have already negotiated the terms of cooperation with His Excellency the Earl." King Magna did not reveal the details of the contract. artisans and five thousand dwarven warriors."

"People of the mountains, the opportunity to revive the glory of the ancestors has come!"

Magna's highly provocative mobilization caused the dwarves below to respond enthusiastically, and dozens of legendary dwarves immediately recommended themselves to the king and were willing to join the legion.

Some people shouted loudly to Ren to show their strength.

The reaction of the dwarves reassured the three kings.

Obviously, everyone in the kingdom understands the current difficult situation. The naturally brave dwarves are squatting in the underground fortress, and they have nowhere to use their strength. Therefore, the plan to open up new continents received one-sided support.

Ren observed the dwarves with the eye of the soul, and almost all the dwarves were very happy.

The mighty Kings of the Hill also gave their full support, with one exception, Kostarkin* Ironbeard. The king of the hill has mixed emotions, not completely against it, but he thinks more and seems to be worried about something.

"He should have guessed Sol Green's intentions." Ren thought to himself.

It's not that hard to guess, and Kerstarkin certainly won't go along with Thorgreen's arrangements, and may have been prepared.

Magna nodded to the side, and two dwarf guards came up with a stone table and placed it in front of the throne.

Bulstein held a dragonskin scroll in both hands and placed it on the table.

Spread out the scroll, the terms of cooperation are written in Dwarven and Orion languages, densely packed, and the red ink is made of dragon blood, which is not afraid of fire and blisters, and can be preserved for thousands of years. Blestein said loudly: "Three Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Earl, the contract is ready."

Magna rose, and the other two kings came down.

The three dwarf kings stood in front of the table, reciting the name of the dwarf patron saint "Mahal" aloud, swearing in the name of the god, the eyes of the god's statue shone with light, and the vast aura of divine power enveloped the palace. The dwarves of the ceremony were awe-inspiring and delighted.

This means that this time the cooperation project is supported by Mahar.

Under the watchful eyes of the gods, the kings solemnly signed their names, and then all looked at Ren, and Magna said solemnly:

"Your Excellency, please."

Ren stepped forward, read the contents of the dragon skin scroll for the last time, and after confirming that there was no problem, signed his full name.

The moment he signed the name, he sensed that the eyes from the distant void moved away.

The Dwarf Guardian, Mahal, is also a very ancient deity, one of the most powerful gods of Alanus. In dwarven mythology, Mahal is the consort of the earth goddess, who created the dwarves together, and the other dwarven gods are the sons of the two gods.

Because of this relationship, the Earth Goddess has many dwarven believers, second only to Mahal in number.

However, several dwarven gods have fallen in the last era, including Moradin, the **** of blacksmithing and craftsmanship. Today, the vast majority of dwarves only believe in three gods, Mahal, the earth goddess, and Grimnir, the **** of dwarven warriors.

When the signing ceremony was completed, the dwarves cheered loudly, and the applause was like a wave that did not subside for a long time.

Magna put away the contract scroll, packed it into a sturdy magic alloy box, and sent it to the treasure trove of the lava castle.

Thorgreen pressed his hands, and the dwarves quickly quieted down.

"Now announcing a few important things." The prestige of the King of the High Mountain was obviously higher than that of Magna, and the dwarves listened carefully, "The dwarf army that went to the New World will be stationed in Gotham City for a long time in the future, which is the city of His Excellency the Earl. , obey the earl's orders, and give allegiance to him."

The expressions of some dwarves changed, and they couldn't help but whisper.

"Allegiance to a human?"

"He is not a citizen of the mountains. How can he be entitled to our allegiance? Only a king can order the dwarves."

The whispered remarks reached Ren's ears.

He immediately noticed that the enthusiasm of some dwarves has faded a lot, and they are obviously resistant to allegiance to himself, and even very disgusted. However, most dwarves don't care very much. As long as they can leave the World Mountains, join the battle, and prove their strength and courage, it doesn't make any difference whether their allegiance is to the dwarf king or to humans.

Thorgreen seemed to have expected this situation. He ignored the hesitation of the few dwarves and continued: "This dwarf army comes from the three kingdoms, so we named it the 'Three Hammers'."

"The Three Hammers will be led by a King of the Hill."

"The king of the hill shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Gotham and defending the residents of the city. In the future, it will be the leader of the dwarves who will re-enter the new world. Such a crucial position has been decided by me and the two majesties after consultation. appointment……"

Thorgreen paused here and looked at the kings of the hill below.

Today, in addition to the three kings, there are four kings of the hill present. When they heard Thorgreen's words, they were full of expectations, but when they heard the back, the kings of the hill seemed to realize something, and their faces changed.

Kostarkin's eyes became sharp in an instant, and lightning flashed in his eyes.

"We have decided to appoint Kostarkin * Ironbeard as the head of the Three Hammers." Thorgreen announced loudly: "Kstarkin will lead the Three Hammers to the New World and follow the orders of His Excellency the Earl."

Suddenly, the eyes of all the dwarves fell on Kostarkin, and the palace, which had some noise, suddenly became silent.

Even the dullest dwarf understood Thorgreen's intentions.

Two years ago, Kostakin was promoted to King of the Hill, changed his surname to Ironbeard, and spoke out to revive the glory of the Ironbeard clan, causing a sensation in the five dwarven kingdoms.

Dwarves worship ancestors and heroes. Even though the Ironbeard clan has been silent for thousands of years and is close to decline, the fame and deeds of this clan are still passed down from generation to generation among the dwarves.

Kostarkin holds the Ironbeard clan's book of hatred, proving that Ironbeard's blood runs through him.

He is like a banner, attracting many dwarves who also have the blood of the Ironbeard clan to join. Although there are only more than a thousand people, it has formed a lot of momentum. In the past two years, the rebirth of the Ironbeard clan has been the most striking thing in the dwarven kingdom.

Some wise dwarves had expected that His Majesty Thorgreen would never let it go.

Now, he finally showed his fangs to Kostarkin.

Under the gazes of the people, Kostarkin slowly stood up and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I refuse to be the head of the Three Hammers Corps.

Thorgreen looked at him coldly, "You are going to disobey the king's orders?"

Kerstarkin looked directly at Thorgreen, did not speak, but expressed his intention unmistakably, that is, to disobey.

"Humph."

Thorgreen looked unhappy.

He said lightly: "The Three Hammers shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the glory of the ancestors, and will be equipped with the best weapons and armor of the dwarves. Therefore, a rune lord and a group of rune blacksmiths are required to accompany the army to maintain and repair the equipment of the army. You are The only rune lord among the kings of the hill, for the sake of the dwarves, you must assume the position of the leader."

Some dwarves nodded slightly when they heard this, thinking that it made sense.

Indeed, there is no dwarf who is more suitable to be the leader than Kstarkin, and some dwarves even think that perhaps his Majesty Thorgreen may not be selfish.

However, Kostarkin remained unmoved, just didn't respond.

"What?" Thorgreen's voice rose a bit, and a huge power of lightning burst out, suffocating the dwarves sitting in the front row, like a violent storm, and rebuked loudly: "Kstarkin, for the sake of To restore the glory of the ancestors, how many dwarves are willing to give their lives, this is the opportunity that the clansmen have dreamed of, but you want to refuse?"

Kerstarkin finally responded: "I still have important things to do, and I don't want to leave the highest mountain."

"What could be more important than the future of the dwarves?" Thorgreen demanded sharply.

Kerstarkin opened his mouth.

Thorgreen's breath suddenly subsided, staring closely at Kstarkin, and said, "This is the king's order. In your eyes, am I not your king?"

His voice was not loud, but in the ears of the dwarves it sounded like thunder, and he held his hand nervously.

Kerstarkin was shocked.

"His Majesty is naturally the king of the highest mountain. I have no doubts about this." After a few seconds, he answered with difficulty.

Thorgreen snorted, "Since I'm your king, why are you disobeying?"

"I……"

Kostarkin looked at the three kings on the stage, looked around, and found that all the dwarves were paying attention to him, which made him feel great pressure.

He knew that if he agreed, he might never come back to the New World.

The New World is more than a hundred times more dangerous than the World Mountains, and he may have been killed before Thorgreen's death.

The hope of reviving the Ironbeard clan was also a dream come true.

Kerstarkin was very anxious, but he could not find a reason for his refusal. If he disobeyed the king's orders in public, Thorgrin could justly punish himself, and then accuse himself of being selfish and disregarding the overall situation of the dwarves, then his reputation would be ruined.

In anger and unwillingness, Kerstarkin saw Ren on stage.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to disobey the order, but I also don't want to be loyal to the weak. This is the right that Grimmnir gave me."

With a clatter, the dwarves looked at Ren.

The expressions of Magna and Dan also changed. Kstarkin's meaning was very clear. He was a believer of Grimnir, the **** of dwarf warriors. One of the dogmas of this **** was not to bow to the weak. Loyalty to the weak is also not allowed.

The so-called weak are naturally based on the strength of the believers themselves.

Those who are weaker than themselves are weak.

The strong are respected, and the dwarves also believe in this principle, and not allegiance to the weak is another explanation for this principle.

Most of the dwarf kings are held by the king of the hill, which is also the embodiment of the strong.

In the dwarf society, the doctrine of not being loyal to the weak is not strictly practiced. There are still a few superiors who are weaker than their subordinates, and not all dwarves believe in Grimnir. Therefore, when it was said that the Three Hammers were loyal to Ren, the dwarves did not think of this, and Ren was a legendary high-rank ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ stronger than almost all dwarves, and did not violate the teachings.

However, there is a problem for the king of the hill.

The King of the Hill is a saint-level powerhouse, and his strength is obviously much stronger than Ren's. Kstarkin refused to appoint him for this reason, and Sol Green had nothing to say.

The expression on Ren's face, who became the focus, did not change at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Thorgreen was stunned.

He looked at Kstarkin, then looked at the calm Ren, his expression quickly returned to indifference, his snow-white beard shook, he let out a sneer, and said, "Kstarkin, do you think your strength is stronger than Your Excellency Count? In my opinion, you are the weak one."

"I don't believe it," Kostarkin dismissed. "Unless he beats me."

Before Sol Green could speak, Ren already knew what he was going to say, he shook his head and said, "I refuse."
