The six Milleras who had fallen in front of him didn’t have Qin Lun’s ability to detect, so they were all thrown into a pile. Fortunately, these people were very strong, and the elven rangers weren’t inferior to professional apostles. They used all sorts of methods to slow down their descent, so they weren’t seriously injured at this time.

“What kind of place is this?” Just as Qin Lun and Elistine were in an awkward situation, Milleras cried out loudly from the side.

Milleras’ shouts woke everyone up. They all stood up, ignoring the pain on their bodies, and sized up the surroundings. They had just fallen down, as if they had stirred up a thick layer of dust in the pit. Right now, everyone’s line of sight was still a little blurry. A pungent and stale aura pierced through their noses, causing everyone to only feel a burst of itching in their throats.

The silver clock in Qin Lun’s eyes quietly disappeared, because he discovered that the pit in the middle of the mountain was filled with a gentle and elegant light. It was completely different from the dark tunnel from before.

When the dust dissipated a little, everyone looked at their surroundings and revealed an expression of shock that could not be concealed. The pit in the center of the mountain was extremely wide. It was about fifty meters tall. Although the edge of the mountain could not be seen clearly due to the dim light, a rough observation could still estimate that there were at least ten thousand square meters of space in this place.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see where the light source in the pit came from. It was a glowing crystal wall about 30 meters away from the ground on the east side of the pit.

“It’s light transmitted from the outside world. This is an ice wall!” Long Er, who had excellent observation, was the first to comprehend it and let out a surprised sigh of admiration.

“The dozen or so stone pillars here don’t seem to be formed naturally. It seems to be a kind of artificial building!” An elven ranger murmured.

Everyone looked in that direction and soon understood what he meant. In the center of the pit, there were twelve stone pillars about twenty meters tall.

The pedestals of these stone pillars were very thick, and each one required more than ten adults to carry them together. It was a little inaccurate to say that they were stone pillars, because these stone pillars were not connected to the top of the pit. Compared to the length, width, and height, they were more like twelve thick and short stone pillars.

After careful observation, the astonishment on everyone’s faces became even more intense. Beneath these stone piers, there were several flat and spacious canals, similar to canals, but compared to the canals, the bottom was slightly shallower.

Apart from that, the upper ends of the stone piers were connected with several huge stone cables. Looking down the stone cables, everyone was surprised to find that there was not only one tunnel that they had fallen into this cave in the belly of the mountain.

Above and at the top of the stone wall, there were also dozens of huge cylindrical tunnels connecting to this stone cave. At a glance, this place was like a giant beehive. Most of the stone cables connected to the stone piers were connected to these tunnels.

It seemed that Qin Lun and Stark had deviated from their previous judgement that the tunnel was a nest of some kind of giant snake insect. These tunnels were originally supposed to be connected to the stone cave at the bottom of the mountain, but it was only later that they were occupied by some kind of soft creature.

“Pentagram Crystal Mirror!” Qin Lun looked at everything in front of him and his heart skipped a beat. A huge crystal mirror appeared beneath his feet. The elemental explosion caused him to jump up high and stand at the edge of a tunnel that was connected to a stone rope.

“These things … don’t seem to be stone pillars!” Milleras, who was standing under a stone pillar, suddenly widened his eyes and cried out in surprise, “This is a furnace! These are all giant furnaces!”

Everyone was shocked. They leaned forward to take a look. As expected, the outline of the furnace door and the blocked tuyere could be faintly seen beneath the grey stone pier.

At the same time, everyone remembered the flat and spacious channels at the bottom of the stone pier. Indeed, they were not channels, but should be channels for boiler water. Perhaps some of them were slots where molten iron was discharged from the furnace.

At this moment, Qin Lun, who had rushed up into the tunnel, had also discovered something. He glanced at a square object at the entrance of the tunnel and gently scratched the stone cord beneath his feet with his dagger. Soon, he saw the dark brown rust inside the stone cord.

These stone ropes were not real stones, but iron ropes covered with stone chips. After contacting the square object in the tunnel, everyone understood that it should be the aerial cable car that supplied the 12 furnaces with ore.

“Could it be that we’ve really found the Ancient Era’s Smelt Castle of the Zanata Dwarves?” An inconceivable thought arose in everyone’s hearts, but they faintly felt that it was only natural.

One of the elven rangers beside Milleras looked at Qin Lun and Milleras with excitement and anticipation. “Your highness, we, we …”

“Even if we’re going to explore, we’ll have to wait for our comrades on the ground to come down. If we leave now, Miss Kelly won’t be able to see you later. We’ll be furious!” Qin Lun smiled and reminded, “Besides, there should be other dangers here. It might have become the nest of some gigantic creatures. It’s better to be careful.”

“Then … Alright, let’s wait for them first!” Thinking of Kelly’s ferocity, not to mention a few elven rangers, even Milleras couldn’t help but shrink his neck.

It was strange to say that the Sun Elf Prince could be considered a noble and colorful genius in terms of mind and strength. However, Kelly would immediately lose her strength the moment she came into contact with her, and she would always eat her to death. Those who did not know the relationship between the two of them thought that this was the tracheitis of affection. In fact, only the people around Milleras knew that this was the rhythm of a natural enemy.

“Apostle 70053, you have discovered the Unknown Dwarf Castle in the Alamir Mountains. Please explore more here. The additional world exploration here will be rewarded twice as much.”

Looking at the notification on the death list, Qin Lun’s smile became even brighter. Even though they rejected Milleras’ proposal to enter the castle immediately, everyone couldn’t suppress their curiosity and began to explore the furnace area of the dwarf castle.

‘”Ferrar ~ ~ ~” Looking at his companions scattering in all directions, Elistine could not help but pull at Qin Lun’s sleeve and look at him resentfully.

“We’ll have plenty of time to explore later. Your radius is broken. If you don’t want your arm to grow into a deformity, be quiet!” Qin Lun replied unhappily. He took out a box of green ointment from his bosom and smeared it on the elf druid’s arm.

This box of ointment was also one of the adventure items that Adrienne and Menon had prepared for the two of them. It was a kind of trauma ointment, and its effect was comparable to the best Moonlight Discontinuity Ointment. Priest Menon, who believed in the Goddess of Life Angeles, had enough ingredients to concoct the finest healing items.

“Your Highness, come here and take a look!” When Qin Lun finished dealing with Elistine, the Fairy Rangers who had almost walked far away suddenly shouted excitedly.

“Easy, we’re not going on an outing!” Qin Lun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Forget it, Ferrari, don’t blame them, even I can’t help it!” Milleras smiled and waved his hand. “This period of time is too oppressive, always wandering between life and death. Perhaps we won’t be able to get out of here this time. Let’s face death with a smile!”

“Haha, Milleras, I feel that you are much more cheerful!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

After chatting with the Sun Elf Prince by the campfire two days ago, he seemed to have put aside all his worries and started to be like a real adventurer. He was completely devoted to this journey of uncertain life and death, treating it as a rare adventure.

“Look!” Milleras didn’t care about Qin Lun’s resentment at all. He stood in front of a giant stone tablet the Fairy Ranger had found and excitedly pointed at it. “I know where this place is, Iron Star Castle, Iron Star Castle of the Dwarf Kingdom of Ogrand! Ferrar, we’ve found an ancient legend!” He said excitedly.

The giant stele was in front of a furnace at the end, and the words carved on it were already blurry. However, after Milleras and the other elven rangers cleaned up, they could still see the largest ancient characters on the top.

In the translation of the Shattered Universe, these words have two names, one is called the “Wall of Alamir”, and the other is called the “Star of Iron Stone”. In elven records, this was part of the dwarf Sanata Empire, the “Iron Star Fortress” of the Kingdom of Ogrand, founded more than 6,500 years ago.

‘”Apostle 70053, you have found the legendary’ Iron Star Castle ‘of Ogrand. The exploration of the world has increased by 0.002%. If you can find other relevant records in the castle, the exploration of the world will continue to increase.”

“This is only the furnace area of the castle. I really want to see the rest of the castle immediately. Why hasn’t Miss Kelly and the others come down yet?” Milleras could not help but complain.

Qin Lun laughed in his heart. He had actually been rescued to the point that he dared to complain about saving someone. If Kelly heard Milleras’ complaint, the Prince of the Sun Elves would inevitably be beaten up.

Qin Lun looked at the huge stone tablet in front of him, his eyes also flashing with excitement. In fact, his curiosity was no less than that of Milleras and the other elves. However, his curiosity was different from that of Milleras and the others. The plot elves were only excited about finding the Iron Star Fort, curious about the history and records of the castle.

Apart from this, Qin Lun was also very interested in everything else about the Iron Star Fort. For example, the twelve giant furnaces in front of him!

Qin Lun slowly circled around a furnace, his left pupils flashing with black and red targets. He used his clairvoyance to probe the interior of the furnace.

After thousands of years of sedimentation, these furnaces had been completely fossilized, and the furnace that had been used to smelt ore had long since been blocked. Inside, the structure of the furnace could only be distinguished by the distinction between different stones.

What surprised Qin Lun was that the bottom of these furnaces was actually a loose limestone structure, forming a unique pipeline that led to the depths of the earth in the vision of his left eye.

After observing several furnaces, Qin Lun finally confirmed the structure of the furnace. Although his perception was limited and he could only see more than a hundred meters below the furnace, he suddenly had a feeling that the pipes at the bottom of the furnace would probably extend all the way to the depths of the Alamir Mountain Range.

Was the Alamir Mountains an active volcano? The dwarves of Sanata actually dared to build a castle in the crater and use underground lava to forge steel!

Qin Lun felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and suddenly, he was filled with incomparable anticipation for the next exploration!
