Chapter 288 Summoning
Compared to Levi's surprise, Thorin was used to it.
"Buildings above the ground are only a small part of our living space. This mountain is huge."
At this moment, the two of them were standing on a slowly descending platform, with brilliant lights in front of them.
The taller one of them looked around with eyes wide open, while the shorter one just stood there calmly, as calm as usual.
After a moment of silence, as the ladder was about to descend to the bottom, Thorin leaned towards Levi, coughed, and said:
"By the way, there is one more thing... I noticed when you came here. Did you change your armor? Can I touch it?"
Levi's mouth twitched.
"OK."
These dwarves are all alike.
"This feel, this material...it seems that you have mastered some forging methods that no one else can match."
Thorin was generous in praising the armor in front of him.
“It’s perfect.”
Clang.
With an exclamation of admiration, the elevator landed.
Thorin withdrew his gaze and immediately returned to his usual majestic state.
The two moved deeper into the ground, walking along fenced roads and bridges, passing by dwarven miners hard at work, until they reached a place where the lights became scarce and there was no sound of digging.
Thorin stopped and turned to look at Levi.
“Do you feel it?”
"What?"
Li Wei was a little confused, but he felt that everything was normal. He glanced at the status bar, but there was no prompt.
Thorin turned around helplessly, and while leading Levi deeper into the cave, he said, "Heart palpitations, that's the feeling. It has troubled us for many years."
"The deeper I go, the more I feel there is some great danger inside. My blood instinct tells me not to move forward."
After walking for a while, Thorin stopped again.
"Now, do you feel a sense of heat?"
Levi experienced it carefully.
"As for the temperature, it does seem to be a little bit higher, but it's not hot. If I had to say, I think it's quite warm."
“…”
After hearing this answer, Thorin was silent.
"It seems that you can't understand. I'm not talking about the temperature, but the heat in my heart."
"My sweat is cold, and my skin doesn't feel any heat, but I still feel a lingering sense of boredom."
Here, what the two people perceived seemed to be two different worlds, and there was a difference.
"Unfortunately, I just think the temperature is suitable."
Levi asked, "Do all of you feel this way?"
Thorin replied quite confidently: "Yes, everyone is. It is definitely not an illusion."
“It’s really weird.”
Levi suggested: "Maybe we should go deeper."
"good."
The light grew dimmer as they walked without stopping, and Thorin had to pick up a lantern from the roadside to illuminate the way ahead.
But after walking for a while, Thorin in front suddenly stopped.
“It’s the end.”
He raised the lantern a little further forward.
They saw a huge rift in front of them, which was bottomless, and the two were standing at the edge of the cave leading to the rift.
Whoosh——
Suddenly, an arrow shot out from behind, startling Thorin and causing him to turn his head back.
"Levi?"
Thorin called out in confusion, somewhat puzzled by Levi's actions.
"Bats." Levi answered briefly.
So Thorin looked back at the target of the arrow - the bat that had fallen deep into the chasm.
"Why are there bats here?"
Levi didn't answer for a moment. He put away his bow, walked slowly forward, and looked at the bottomless rift with a serious expression.
"This feels familiar, there might actually be something down there."
"What?"
Thorin perked up.
Levi continued to stare at the depths of the rift valley. After a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Perhaps it is something that you and I are both familiar with, but only I have seen it."
"Stand back, go out, Thorin, take all your people with you and seek refuge in Riverdale."
"Something might happen here next, but don't worry, just leave it to me."
"What did you find?" Thorin became more and more confused.
But when he raised his head again, he suddenly found that Levi had taken out a dark sword as tall as him and was carrying it on his shoulder.
"To be honest, I'm not sure if it is true, but if there is even a slight chance that it is true, I don't recommend that you stay here any longer."
"Flame Demon." Levi uttered a word.
Thorin was startled, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
“Why do these things always target us?”
Although he complained, he did not question the accuracy of Levi's words.
"Be careful."
After leaving a message, Thorin immediately ran back along the same route to carry out emergency evacuation and war preparations.
The bells of Erebor tolled.
All the dwarves immediately stopped what they were doing and hurried to put on their armor.
The noise also alarmed River Valley City. Bard hurriedly walked out of the warehouse and looked in the direction of Lonely Mountain.
"Father."
Bain ran over and called him, also looking confused.
Seeing Bain coming over, Bader stuffed the two big bows in his hand to him and said, "Hold them for me first. I'll go see what's going on."
That being said, Thorin came out with a large group of dwarves before Bard reached the gate of Erebor.
"Bud!"
Thorin saw him from a distance.
"What's going on?"
Bud was a little confused.
Why are the dwarves marching towards Dale in full armor?
Even though they believed that the dwarves had no ill intentions, the residents of the city couldn't help but feel a little worried when they saw the huge situation.
Including Bud.
Some things are just for the worst.
Seeing Bard coming over, Thorin took a breath and said quickly: "Forgive me for not telling you in advance. There really is not enough time."
"Levi and I discovered a powerful monster underground."
"What should we do then? Should we form a coalition to attack it?" Bard asked.
"No."
Thorin shook his head.
"We are here to seek refuge."
…
When the bat was shot down and Thorin left, Levi continued to explore downwards.
A bucket of water was poured on the edge of the rift, flowing continuously downwards, and Levi followed the flow downstream.
I swam like this for a long time before reaching the bottom.
After landing, Levi put the lantern in his hand into his backpack, and the surroundings became dark.
In the darkness, Levi opened his eyes wide and looked around carefully.
Finally, after he had walked for a while, feeling his way along the stones, a faint and strange light appeared at the edge of his sight.
A glowing stone?
No, that's not right.
Levi took out the lantern again, and the entire appearance of the "stone" appeared before him.
It wasn't a stone, but a small box with some disturbing characters engraved on it.
Wait, this font? Black Language.
"The flame of Udon, the fire of darkness."
"The dormant spirit returns to the world."
Buzz——
When Levi read these two lines, some changes occurred.
The air condensed and an evil force was aroused from it, sweeping across the entire rift and swallowing up the light from the lantern in his hand.
The vision became dim, and a strange fog composed of black particles rose around, making everything blurry.
[Darkness: 10s]
There is an additional beacon buff in the status bar. Whenever the number is about to drop, it will be refreshed immediately and restored to 10 seconds.
Levi gripped the dragon steel sword tightly and waited quietly.
After a long time, when the terrifying darkness dissipated, a real feeling of heat came over me.
Now he could relate to Thorin.
Because it really came.
Thanks to Hu Tao Yalishi for the 100 points reward, and thanks to the friends who voted, thank you thank you (end of this chapter)
