Chapter 359 - Bill’s Fury, a Random Dwarf?!

"Refraction magic? I see, so that's why the surrounding hills looked so strange, with so many similar features!"

Lin Tian suddenly understood, also feeling somewhat amazed.

Using mirror-like refraction effects to hide their location.

From a macro perspective, the gate of the Dwarf Kingdom was actually openly placed right here.

They could enjoy the sun, breathe fresh air, look at starlight for inspiration in the evenings, then go home to work.

It could be said this was countless times better than Bill's previous kingdom.

But from an objective view, nothing could be seen around - only endless hills stretching beyond sight.

It didn't look like a place that could hide an entire kingdom.

Lin Tian walked a few steps to the side, and looking back it was just normal hills, with no trace of any towns visible.

"This, this arrogant? They only use refraction magic? If someday they're unlucky enough to be discovered, wouldn't they be exposed?! Foolish, these pureblooded dwarves are too foolish!"

Bill cursed angrily, very much despising this behavior that didn't prioritize the safety of their people.

But undeniably, this way of life was perfect.

Without that feeling of hiding and being imprisoned.

Previously they had been willing to join forces with Lin Tian to attack other empires because they had been tormented by that feeling for too long.

They really couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Tian was also stunned, remembering Heracles had mentioned rumors of a steel fortress, which should be more fitting for a dwarf kingdom's city.

This way was indeed too unstable.

Luo Ai'er explained, "Precisely because they have absolute confidence, they later used refraction magic to establish a surface town. The true core of the Dwarf Kingdom is underground - an impregnable steel fortress!"

"Usually the Dwarf King and other important members entertain themselves on the surface, but if there's danger, everyone would hide in the underground bunker. According to the Dwarf King, even if the God King came, he couldn't break through, and might even perish."

Hearing this, Lin Tian's expression changed slightly, "They don't even regard the God King seriously? Then, has any God King personally tried?"

This almost shattered his confidence.

His original plan was that if negotiation failed, he would forcibly seize what he needed. But if they truly didn't even regard God Kings seriously, then perhaps his own thinking was too naive.

His first-tier positioning would probably need to be adjusted downward.

Luo Ai'er shook her head, "As far as I know, not yet, but for them to be so confident, their defensive capabilities must be extremely powerful."

Not yet?

That made Lin Tian feel somewhat relieved, though to be safe, he should try to negotiate peacefully first.

At this moment, Monchi's voice sounded, "If we're going in, let's hurry. We can only stay for one hour at most, and after today we won't be allowed to enter or exit the Dwarf Kingdom again."

Immediately.

Lin Tian and the others entered the passage, as if passing through a thin sheet of paper, but the scenery was completely different!

Under the ancient city walls at the entrance stood two pureblooded dwarf guards.

Completely blue-skinned, with long beards and hair, armor wrapped tightly around them. One held a short axe, the other a short hammer as weapons.

Upon seeing Luo Ai'er and the others, they made respectful welcoming gestures.

Lin Tian couldn't help but look at these dwarves, then at Bill, "Good heavens, you and pureblooded dwarves are basically two different species."

Bill's appearance was at most just a short human.

But these pureblooded dwarves were more like 'Smurfs.'

Except for having a somewhat humanoid form, they were completely outside the human category. No wonder they were classified as magical creatures.

Hearing this, Bill was also shocked, "This is my first time seeing real pureblooded dwarves too. They are indeed quite strange..."

On the streets.

The social patterns and laws of this world were similar - merchants, passersby, and so on.

Lin Tian quickly calmed down and spoke of serious matters, "I want to see the Dwarf King. Can you introduce me?"

But Luo Ai'er decisively shook her head, "When we entered, the Dwarf King had already returned to the bunker area. If you want to meet someone, you can only see Marquis Huotu, who holds the highest position on the surface."

Marquis Huotu was also the supreme commander of the dwarf army.

Responsible for surface area security, his strength was second only to the Dwarf King.

These pureblooded dwarves had a different system for electing their king. They lived by forging, so naturally their elected king possessed the strongest forging skills.

After all, the dwarves relied on magical implements to establish their foothold in this world.

The king election in Bill's dwarf kingdom was somewhat like hereditary succession.

When the old king had no children, the queen inherited the throne.

It was indeed not as professional as the pureblooded dwarves.

"That's fine, as long as they have sufficient authority to speak."

Lin Tian didn't mind, nodding lightly.

Luo Ai'er didn't ask further questions, directly leading Lin Tian and the others toward the Furnace Palace in this surface city.

Anyway, after Lin Tian gave up hope, he definitely wouldn't target the dwarves anymore.

She had also pleaded with the dwarves for god-slaying level magical implements before.

Unfortunately, all were flatly refused.

The Old God Nirvana organization and Satan Cult shared one god-slaying level weapon, and even the energy to power it had to be requested from the dwarves.

If the special energy ran out, it could only display solar-level power.

It couldn't intimidate the divine courts.

Very quickly.

A magnificent palace with rolling flames appeared before everyone.

Lin Tian sighed somewhat, "Good heavens, wouldn't living inside be unbearably hot?"

It was completely like a pressure cooker or steamer.

Luo Ai'er explained, "The inner layers of this building use unique heat-insulating materials and magic. After all, they worship hammers and furnace fires."

The dwarves' rank insignia used hammers as symbols.

Golden hammers represented royalty, silver for nobility, gray for commoners.

"We have so many different things from them, hahaha!"

Bill was currently looking around with wide eyes, appearing very happy.

After all, this place could be considered his ancestral homeland.

These people also gave him a feeling of ancestors, very endearing.

Just then, a surprised voice sounded from nearby, "Ah? Where did this mongrel dwarf come from? So disgusting looking, ugh..."

"It really is a mongrel, makes me so nauseous. Look at that sickly skin color, probably about to die of old age."

"Shame of the dwarf race. If others weren't here, we'd arrest him for burning at the stake! Burn him to death!"

On the street, many dwarves gathered around, pointing at Bill and hurling vicious insults.

The sense of kinship that had just been established.

Instantly collapsed in Bill's heart. With a darkened face, he said coldly, "Your Majesty Lin Tian, why don't we just skip the negotiations..."

This wretched place should just be razed to ruins!

What pureblooded dwarves - they're all damned bastards!

Lin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Haha, bear with it for now. Let's see their attitude. If they can agree, that would be best."

After all, the relationships involved were rather complex.

The Satan Cult was also involved.

But if the dwarves wouldn't agree to help mass-produce god-slaying level magical implements.

No matter who tried to stop him, it would be useless...

This was Lin Tian's resolve.
