The Death List Novel - Chapter 400
Chapter 400 Adventures In Kelly
“The ice wall on the east side of this place should have been the skylight of the furnace area!”
“Hmm, it looks more like it. So, the tunnels above the furnace area are chimneys?”
“Only a portion of it, right? Most of the other parts should be tunnels to transport ore within the mountain range.”
Milleras and Qin Lun whispered to each other. In just over ten minutes, everyone had already searched the entire furnace area. This Iron Star Fort’s furnace area had passageways before and after. Due to its huge area, after investigating, everyone discovered that the furnace area was actually an arc zone.
Apart from the twelve giant fossilized furnaces and the broken stone tablet, the other man-made objects here had been badly eroded by the wind and had long since lost their original shape. No wonder it was covered with a thick layer of dust. Gently stepping on it was a clear footprint.
The interior of the furnace area was filled with hazy light due to the suspected ice wall of the skylight. However, the passageway connecting to it was still dark. After walking a little farther, they couldn’t even see their fingers. This was also the main reason why they didn’t dare to leave the furnace area.
Half an hour later, Kelly’s figure finally appeared at the entrance of the tunnel where Qin Lun and the others had left.
“So, there is a dwarf castle here?” Robin and Stark exchanged a surprised glance. This was truly an unexpected development.
“Qin Lun, this isn’t a safe place. The tunnel we entered contains traces left behind by a giant creature. Do we need to continue exploring?” Stark’s voice was somewhat hesitant as he asked softly on the guild channel.
“What we apostles want to do is not dangerous!” Qin Lun smiled and replied, “What your fortress guild lacks the most right now is contribution points, and amongst the additional rewards given by World Exploration, contribution points are usually very rich.”
Most gigantic creatures are at the top of the food chain and are not normally social creatures. Wasn’t it easier to deal with the unknown gigantic creatures here than the Santalin Society’s attacks? Besides, there are tall people standing on top of the sky. As long as this creature is not an intelligent creature, even if it reaches the Legendary level, I believe that Kelly, a violent woman, can cope with it. ”
“That’s true. So, should we explore this Iron Star Fort?” Stark nodded.
“Ruins, treasures, adventures” The leaders of Robin’s and Stark’s fortresses had yet to come to a final conclusion. On the other side, Kelly, who had learned the whole story from Milleras, had already jumped up like a child with a beloved toy, her eyes turning into stars.
“If I don’t go now, I’ll go!” Robin, who was familiar with Kelly’s temperament, covered his face in distress.
“Cough cough, you guys have been mercenaries for so long. Don’t tell me you don’t have any curiosity?” Kelly pretended to cough a few times and reprimanded the apostles with her waist crossed, “This is a remnant. Do you know the remnant? There are treasures, aren’t we all beating our mercenaries to death for treasures?”
“If we can find some precious antiques here and earn a large sum of money, we might not even be able to use them for hiring purposes. What the hell does the Elf Prince care about him dying!” Kelly waved her hand heroically like a female general commanding thousands of troops.
“Hey, can we still stand beside you?” Milleras and a few elven rangers immediately had black lines all over their heads.
When the apostles heard this, their hearts stirred. Kelly was right. Putting aside the exploration of the world, the dwarves themselves were the best craftsmen. Although it was extremely unlikely that the items from thousands of years ago could still be preserved, if there were any gains, then the items they obtained would definitely not be inferior.
“Let’s go, let’s go … Kelly’s Adventure, let’s begin now ~ ~”
After a while, Kelly held up a newly lit torch and walked boldly towards the dark passageway to the right of the furnace area.
“Ferrari, why not choose the right instead of the left? Isn’t there a stone stele on the left?” Elistine pulled Qin Lun’s arm and asked softly.
“It’s all the same. Look at the terrain here!” Qin Lun patted the back of her hand and explained with a smile, “The entire furnace area is an arc zone. There are tunnels on both sides. It looks like they lead to different areas. However, think about it carefully. If the tunnels on both sides are still arc-shaped, then what will happen?”
“Are you saying that this area is a ring, and the passageways on both sides will eventually close together?” Elistine’s eyes lit up and he immediately thought of something.
“Yes, it is certain that the passageways on both sides will eventually converge. I just don’t know which section of the road will lead to other areas.” Qin Lun nodded and smiled at Kelly who was at the front of the line.
Following Kelly’s performance, Qin Lun discovered that he gradually gained a deeper understanding of this female martial artist. After the fortress and the loss merged together, Kelly had always been a little quiet. She basically did not dictate the affairs of the team and left them all to Robin to handle.
Qin Lun originally thought that Kelly was not good at leading the team, but now it seemed that she was just lazy. Perhaps this was her true appearance.
The torches in the team illuminated the passageway in front of them completely red. The elongated figures in the dim passageway were vivid and vivid, slowly giving rise to a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
However, Qin Lun sensed that the plot elves like Milleras and Elistine were calm and did not feel uncomfortable at all. After thinking for a moment, he immediately felt relieved. Whether it was the Commando Forest or the Jondar Forest, they were all large forests that covered the sky and the sun. Perhaps the elves had long gotten used to this gloomy and gloomy environment.
To them, perhaps this was just another rocky forest.
The passageway built by the Zanata Dwarves thousands of years ago is still well ventilated today. Although the passageway was somewhat gloomy and cold, the air was dry, and it looked like a cellar that had been empty for a long time.
The procession didn’t move very fast, mainly because the torches could only illuminate a limited distance. Everyone looked curiously at the surroundings of the passageway. If it wasn’t for the fact that it had already been proven to be Ogrand’s “Iron Star Fort”, they would never have believed that the passageway was built by the dwarves.
The reason for that was because this passageway was simply too large. Perhaps even the Titan Giant would feel that it was too spacious when standing in this passageway.
The furnace area was more than 50 meters tall and covered an area of over 10,000 square meters. It could also be said that it was used to accommodate giant furnaces. However, this 30-meter-tall and 20-meter-wide passageway really didn’t seem to be tailored for the dwarves.
The stone walls of the passageway weren’t directly carved out in the hill. From the regular cracks on the walls, it could be seen that the passageway was made of huge stones, and its structure was extremely solid.
There was no decoration on the stone wall, not even a single stone carving. The sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness as they extended into the depths of the passageway. Walking in this huge passageway that no one had passed for thousands of years, an ancient and vicissitudes of life slowly grew in the hearts of everyone.
“Eh, there’s a fork in the road?” While everyone was immersed in this strange emotion, Kelly stopped at the front of the line.
Currently, there were only eighteen people left in the team. They all rushed to Kelly’s side and looked ahead curiously. Fortunately, this passageway was so spacious. The eighteen people were all standing in the same spot, not showing the slightest bit of crowding.
There were a total of three forks that made things difficult for Kelly. Apart from the one that might have converged from the left side of the furnace area, there were also two forks side by side.
In Kelly’s left hand, a slightly narrower passage tilted downwards, as if it led underground. The other one circled around Kelly’s right hand at an angle of 30 degrees, appearing to lead to the top of the Iron Star Fort.
“Milleras, since you recognize this Iron Star Fort, you should know something about it. Which passage do you think we should take?” Kelly turned to look at the Sun Elf Prince and asked seriously.
“This” Milleras frowned slightly. He had seen records of the Iron Star Castle in the Cormanso Fairy Court, but these ancient books did not have a map of the Dwarf Castle to consult.
“I suggest that everyone take the upper passageway!” At this moment, a clear voice came from the group.
“It’s him!” Kelly turned around and saw Qin Lun smiling and nodding at her. A look of interest appeared in her eyes. “Your Highness, can you tell me why?”
“Of course!” Qin Lun bowed slightly and smiled faintly. “I once saw in an ancient book that the Alamir Mountains were an active volcano ten thousand years ago. The Iron Star Castle built by the dwarves used the earth fire here to forge ores.”
Since this was the case, in order to make more efficient use of the earth fire resources, the dwarves should have built the furnace area on the ground floor of the castle. The residential area and the meeting place must be on the upper floor. Below the furnace area, there can only be smelted residues and waste areas. ”
“Active volcano?” Kelly turned to look at Robin.
‘”That should be right. The thieves in the regiment have investigated those giant furnaces. Although the interior of the furnace is blocked, they are sure that there is a direct underground pipeline under the furnace. It may be the underground fire vein mentioned by the Moon Elf Prince.” Robin quickly replied on the lost guild channel.
“En!” Kelly shrugged her shoulders indifferently and took the lead into the passage that extended upwards.
“Sister Kelly, is there a problem?” Robin, who was very familiar with Kelly, looked at her movements and suddenly asked on the guild channel.
“Interesting! The moment you say it, you won’t even be able to refute it. Naturally, you trust his judgment.” Kelly chuckled and said on the guild channel, “Robin, don’t you think this His Highness Filar gives us a familiar feeling?”
“From what you said … Vice Commander Morning Star?” Robin raised his beautiful eyebrows.
“Hehe, that’s right, that damn brat from Morning Star!” “Of course, the Moon Fairy Prince can’t be a Morning Star. However, there seems to be another person whose memory is very similar to his. It’s just that I can’t remember it for a while …” Kelly said indifferently with a flash of light in her eyes, “Of course, the Moon Fairy Prince can’t be a Morning Star.”
