Hearing Zoltan's words, Ren was surprised and said, "Do you know this teleportation array?"

"Of course." Zoltan squatted down, swept away a large area of ​​dust, revealing more rune arrays, and explained in a muffled voice: "I bought this hotel a few years ago for the purpose of it. I deliberately covered the dust. I didn't expect you to find it."

Renn laughed, and actually found it when he first entered the secret room.

He was a little curious, "Where does the teleportation array lead to?"

Zoltan hesitated for a few seconds, as if considering whether to tell Rennes. He glanced at Rennes and finally said, "This is a teleportation array leading to the underground fortress of 'HoSkintak'. You are a wizard and have learned a lot of runes knowledge. You should be able to see that these runes are from the dwarfs."

"Underground Fortress!"

Renn was shocked, "Is the rumor true?"

Everyone who lives in Longshande has more or less heard of the story of the underground fortress.

Longshande is one of the oldest cities in the empire. It is said that before Longshande was established, it was a large ruin. As early as the last era, thousands of years ago, when the dwarves ruled the eastern continent of Joreser, a huge city was built on this land, called Hoskintak, and sometimes also called the Iron Forest City.

Hoskintak is divided into two parts: above and underground.

The one on the ground is called the Iron Fortress, while the one under the ground is the Iron Fortress.

Dwarves prefer to live underground, so the size of underground fortresses is much larger than that of the ground fortresses. It is rumored that there are countless treasures buried in the fortresses.

But no one has entered the fortress and has never dug out any treasures.

The traces left by the dwarf have long been hidden in the long river of time.

As time goes by, the story about the Dwarf Fortress gradually becomes a distant legend, and few people take it seriously.

Renn lived in Longshande for several years, and of course he also heard about the fortress, but unexpectedly it was true.

"Of course this is true."

Zoltan's face became serious and said slowly: "Hoskintak was established by the Iron Beard clan. During the last era, the peak of the past two thousand years, there were more than 600,000 dwarves in the fortress. It is the largest city of dwarves outside the world's mountains, and it is also the first fortress not built under the mountains, but in the plains."

Renn's heart moved, he knew the Iron Beard Clan.

He immediately searched for the Iron-Wood Clan in his personal library on his mobile phone, and more than a dozen results were all about the books and materials about this dwarf clan.

"Is it the Iron Beard clan who has produced three dwarf Supreme Kings?" asked Ren.

"That's right."

Zoltan was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Rennes had heard of the Iron Beard clan and knew about the Supreme King of the Dwarfs.

Nowadays, there are no supreme kings, only a few dwarf kings.

He continued: "At the end of the last era, the Abyss Demon destroyed most of the cities of Alan's. Because Hoskintak was located in the plains and had no danger to defend, the Iron Beard clan could only give up and withdrew the World Mountains before the Demons siege."

"Before the Iron-Shou clan evacuated, in order to preserve the underground fortress, all the gates and entrances leading to the underground were blown up, leaving only five teleportation arrays on the ground, hiding in different places."

Rennes immediately understood that this teleportation array was one of them.

When he first entered the secret room, he felt very strange. The mechanical workshop outside did not look like a basement at all. It was wide and large. This secret room was hidden behind the magic door, as if it was chiseled out of a huge rock, which was difficult for ordinary people to discover.

He observed the rune magic circle on the ground, feeling a little suspicious.

From the evacuation of the dwarves at the end of the last epoch, after a thousand years of darkness, to the opening of a new era by mankind, to the 2528th year of the Epoch calendar, a total of more than 3,700 years. Can this teleportation array still be used?

Renn's magic knowledge is relatively simple, but he also knows that if a rune magic circle is unmaintained, it can only run for a few years at most.

More than 3,700 years, it sounds terrifying. Not to mention the sophisticated rune array, even the stones may have been weathered.

It is a miracle that can still transmit fluctuations from the rune magic array now!

Zoltan guessed Renne’s thoughts and sighed: “When the Iron Forest Clan was evacuated, I was ready to not have a chance to come back within hundreds of years.”

"So, I specially asked the most brilliant rune lords in the clan to make a move to transform the rune magic array so that they only have the function of one-way transmission. The energy source of the rune magic array is the Moradin god in the underground fortress. In order to save energy, it is activated every sixty years for half a year, so that the rune magic array can last as long as possible, and wait until the dwarves return."

"I only found two of the five rune magic circles they left behind. The other one has been completely damaged. This one is better preserved. I have checked it and can still be used."

Zoltan said this, squatting on the ground to observe the magic circle, but his face was a little confused.

He scratched his scalp and said in confusion: "I calculated based on the annual calendar that the rune array will have to wait for another six years before it can be used. Why did it activate it in advance? Could it be that I was wrong?"

Renn heard what he meant and asked without asking: "Zoltan, do you want to enter the underground fortress?"

"nonsense!"

Zoltan stood up and shouted: "I ran from the World Mountains to the Empire, and lived in Longshande for so many years in order to enter the underground fortress of Hoskintak."

"What's in the fortress that you've planned for so long?" Rennes was quite interested in this.

Zoltan rubbed his beard excitedly: "Of course it's treasure!"

"Hoshikintak was once one of the richest dwarf cities. The Ironbeard clan was in a hurry when evacuated. It was impossible to take away all the treasures. Most of them were left in the underground fortress. Maybe in a secret room, there were golden gems piled up in a hill."

Renn disagreed, "Thousands of years have passed, and someone may have been in such a large underground fortress and emptied all the treasures."

Zoltan's expression stagnated. In fact, he was also worried about this and did not have much hope.

He sighed and said, "The treasure is second. I entered the underground fortress mainly to find the rune technology of my ancestors."

"Since the fall of our dwarf forging and craftsman, Moradin, the god of craftsman, fell in the last era, a lot of rune technology and knowledge have been lost. Maybe it will be preserved in the underground fortress of Ironfort. I want to go in and try my luck."

Zoltan fell silent after saying that.

Renne nodded, indicating that he could understand his thoughts.

He had some understanding of the current situation of the dwarves. As one of the two overlords of Alan Ershi, he was severely damaged by the abyss. Many gods fell, their population plummeted, and their sphere of influence shrank by more than 90%. Now he can only retreat in the world mountains and maintain the only five remaining fortresses in the mountains.

The protagonist of this era is humans, and the dwarves are constantly going downhill.

Rennes did not think that Zoltan's recovery of rune technology would be of great help to the dwarves.

The decline of dwarves is caused by many reasons, including population, technology, culture, trade, strong people, gods, no matter from any perspective, dwarves cannot restore their former glory.

Rune knowledge from thousands of years ago may be of some use, but the bigger possibility is that it has long been outdated.

Magic civilization also emphasizes keeping pace with the times. It is impossible for things to be older, but the stronger they are. The overall trend is like any civilization, and it is spiraling upwards.

Zoltan said so much, and shook out all his years of plans without any concealment. He obviously wanted to let himself enter the underground fortress with him.

Renn hesitated for a moment.

"Does Master Roger know this teleportation array?"

Zoltan replied: "Of course he knew that Roger owed me someone, and had agreed to him a long time ago to act with me." He shrugged and said frankly: "Ren, you are very strong. Of course, I hope you can join too, but I won't force you."

"After all, you are still young and have a long life to enjoy. It is right not to take risks."

"In the original plan, Roger and I were the only two."

"You think carefully and tell me the answer tonight."

Zoltan said as he started working in the secret room, moving out the shelf where alchemy materials were stored and clearing the dust on the ground.

Renn didn't say anything, just helped him do it together.

The two quickly cleaned the secret room. The circular rune magic array occupied most of the ground. Under the light of the gas lamp, the marks showed a faint light.

The entire rune array does not look complicated, and the real mystery lies in those runes.

Rune knowledge comes from elements in the soul.

Each element has a unique symbol, some are like graphics, and some are characters. They are naturally formed symbols and contain a lot of rune knowledge.

Disassemble the feature graphics, conduct in-depth research, obtain corresponding simplified symbols, and recombining them can obtain a rune knowledge.

All forms of application to energy, casting, enchanting, alchemy, magic array, curse, potion, scroll, and more or less cannot escape the influence of runes.

Once you master the rune knowledge, you will master the world.

Alan Ershi's rune system is very large. Almost every intelligent race has developed its own rune knowledge. The most famous and powerful one is the dwarf rune, which is better than the elf rune.

In the last era, the reason why the dwarves became one of the two overlords was that their rune technology was of great significance.

The dwarves' magical talent is far less than that of elves. They rely on rune technology to create powerful weapons, armor and various chariots and cannons to compete with elves. The dwarves who master these techniques are called rune blacksmiths and are the most respected profession among the dwarves clans.

Above the rune blacksmith, there are rune masters and more respected rune lords.

Any rune lord has a status among dwarves that is no less than a king. Currently, there are less than ten rune lords of dwarves.

And Zoltan is a rune master.

Nowadays, humans also have a system of runes, but compared with dwarf runes, there is still a big gap. However, humans also have mechanical technology and alchemy. The three complement each other and have more strengths, and their comprehensive strength is far better than that of dwarfs.

There is a complete "Runish Knowledge" in Renn's mobile phone. The content is profound and vast. It's not long since I started studying, but it's still far from mastering it.

When he was learning to make soul guns, Zoltan was not stingy and taught some knowledge of dwarf runes.

These two different rune systems benefit Rennes a lot.

Since traveling through time, Zoltan has been very nice to himself. On the first day of staying in the hotel, he provided a mechanical workshop and alchemy materials. Although he paid for it, that little money was really nothing. He added up to not even a golden shield.

After a few months of contact, the two of them were already considered good friends.

Moreover, the matter of the underground fortress is a big secret. Zoltan did not hide it from him and said it without hesitation, which shows his trust in him.

Rennes tends to enter the underground fortress with Zoltan, but he knows too little about the fortress and has no confidence.
