"Well, you said a lot. The way humans can maintain their inner self is self-control, that is, will. So they cannot let go of their hearts, turn themselves into monsters of desire, and use this as the basis for their own self-esteem.≥Net �
"That is the flaw of you humans, just like our height. You know it is a flaw, but you must tolerate its existence." Alfonso said.
"Flaws? Stop joking. It seems that we should have. These are all strengthened by the gods who created us - the incomplete mind, infinite. The mind needs to believe in them because of its incompleteness. The mind is full and easy to control. This is a curse and a sad fate!" Li Yi retorted.
When talking about the gods, Alfonso's face changed significantly, and it seemed that this was a taboo word here.
"So that's the case, it's so pitiful!" After a long time, he sighed and stopped talking.
The atmosphere became heavy for some reason. The vain and ethereal thing like the god suddenly became a potential huge threat. It was originally a stupid and incredible act to regard such an invincible existence as an enemy, but Li Yi must be an enemy to survive.
The green and damp water vapor evaporated, accompanied them all the time to a huge flat mirror.
"The simple mirror imaging principle actually deceived me," Li Yi looked up at the special glass that was several thousand meters long and wide. "The dwarfs' craftsmanship is really amazing. If humans made such a large piece of glass, it would be unable to withstand its own weight and break."
"Just some small means." Alfonso said happily, like a craftsman who heard others praise.
"Our purpose is to get medicine, and we are not going to stay here too much, because that adult is eager to wait for us to go back. I want to know if your procedure for taking medicine is lengthy?" Li Yi asked. He always felt that something was hidden under the dwarf's smile, perhaps it was a crisis that was inconvenient for outsiders to know.
To put it simply, there is a lot of trouble here. I hope it won’t involve myself, but there will be no unexpected fortune without trouble.
Bypassing this huge glass, another black forest appeared in front of him. Li Yi keenly felt that the temperature here was much higher than before, the volcano was more realistic, and there was a purified scent of sulfur in the air.
"This volcano is the key to our smelting, so we don't need to build blast furnaces to make steel, and some precious metals can melt in the black flames of the volcano." Alfonso said, pointing to the volcano.
"Well, it's not bad, do you know something like a musket?" Li Yi took out the musket used by ordinary people from his arms.
"This thing is very popular." Alfonso glanced at it, not knowing what Li Yi meant.
"I want to customize a red-level metal musket and ammunition. What procedures and how long does it take?" Li Yi was preparing to replace the Feld bird gun. The original gold-level musket was useless. The gold-level spirits were instantly killed in Feld's hands. The remaining a lot of ammunition was not used, and it was impossible to even kill birds.
"Red level?" Alfonso was a little embarrassed. "There is no shortage of materials. As long as you can pay the price, it is difficult for volcanic black flames to melt red-grade metal. It is expected to take half a year. I don't know if you can wait. The cost is also very high."
"Don't worry, of course I can afford this price. Then I have to rely on your guidance to pay and fill out the order for medicine and my. Thank you." Li Yisai gave him a bag of gold-level spirit crystals as a tip.
Afangsuo smiled, not because of his greed for money, but because of his smile of labor receiving corresponding rewards. This made Li Yi feel ashamed. It seems that only humans are living creatures that are full of all kinds of insatiable things in their hearts. No wonder they can occupy large tracts of land and sea areas.
"I wish you a happy trip to the Dwarf Kingdom!" Alfonso said sincerely.
Alfonso identified the sign on the iron tree, "This is the 62nd Passage, and someone will open the door for us in a while." He said.
A quarter of an hour later, the iron trees separated to both sides, revealing a road.
Feld looked at the iron trees with sharp leaves and were as thick as stone pillars, and was still scared, "Boss, once these trees close together, we will all die."
"Can you not want such a boring question?" Alger was very annoyed.
"Haha, no, we dwarves also need human resources - butter, pasta, dairy, beans, rice, vegetables. We are not proficient in agriculture, so we can only rely on imports. It is not suitable for planting exhibitions here, so we don't want to be too irritated with humans. We have had large-scale battles with you humans in the past. That was a long time ago. Don't listen to my voice very young. In fact, I am already eighty years old. According to the age ratio of your humans, you are fifty-year-old uncles."
"Large-scale battle..." Li Yi thought to himself. It seemed that this dwarf trip would not go too smoothly. There would be sacrifices when there was battle, and there would be hatred when there was sacrifice, and it would be difficult to deal with hatred.
When the iron forest reached the end, the eyes suddenly became clear, and a city full of sunshine appeared in front of me.
The mottled stone walls of the ancient monuments are covered with blue-black stone skins and moss, stacked up one by one, and there are animal statues on the top of the walls, most of which have been weathered nearly half, and the best preserved ones are blurred.
The sun in the sky was broken down by a huge prism, sprinkling evenly on the street like a waterfall, rather than a golden circle seen outside. The stone bricks on the street were repaired, and a large piece of it sank in some places, grass and ferns grew from the cracks in the bricks, and snails could also be seen crawling on it, moisture and moss.
At the end of the street, there are often several stone wells connected together. The wells are drawn with cables and deep valleys. Some of them are simply worn off and bare. There are ropes hanging by the wells. Several dwarfs lift the fruit soaked in the wells, and a fresh fragrance comes to their faces.
These dwarf women all have fair faces and tender skin, just like shrinking human beauties. It is hard to imagine that dwarfs and humans are two species. When I saw Alfonso, who had wrinkles on his face, I thought that the faces of dwarfs were actually the same as humans, but they were different in height and bones.
"It's amazing. This place looks like an ordinary ancient town. Didn't you build a foundation with machinery? Why didn't you see mechanical products?" Li Yi felt his eyes wide open. Such a countryside was warm and quiet, as if it was isolated from the world. If everything was solved and he was tired, he would take Mani to such a town and live in seclusion. Perhaps, he could kiss her.
"Boss, you just wanted to take Mani to retreat? Do you miss Mani? Sure enough, you can't refuse your original thoughts!" Isabella said with her bright eyes.
"Do you think you can peek into my heart? It's impossible, you really guessed wrong." Li Yi denied it.
"Hmph, although I don't know what you really think, you must be thinking about Mani when you are stunned. No matter how you deny it, it will be useless." Isabella seemed not ready to stop.
"Hmph, it's such a boring inference. Alfonso, do you have any potions to eliminate someone's memories?" Li Yi suddenly turned his head and asked.
"There are things that can make people lose their memory completely, but it is difficult to eliminate them in a fixed position unless you forget them yourself." Alfonso shrugged.
"Li Yi! Why are you so heartless?!" Isabella screamed.
"You can shut up, this is my business." He felt annoyed for no reason and used the contract to make Isabella shut up.
"By the way, don't look at this, this is a quaint town, it is actually full of mechanical knowledge and pharmacy knowledge. The city walls you saw just now are actually weathered. The stones are steel brackets, and the well water actually comes from pure water pipes. We all live on volcanoes. If there is a drop of water? There is no drop of water. Every year, we have to transport water from thousands of miles of lakes to maintain our lives. Alas, this was a forest in the past. That war turned the swamp lakes with rich water into deserts. At least half of our dwarves died. That was my grandfather's life." Afangsuo smiled bitterly.
Li Yi was frightened when he heard this. If he fought with humans like this, wouldn’t that be a bloody feud? He suddenly wanted to run away.
"Ah, the war with you humans is just a small friction. The battle of destruction I just mentioned is a battle with the servants of the gods. You humans call them chosen by God, but in fact they are nothing more than a group of monsters." Alfonso hurriedly added.
Li Yi then breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was all about the original dwarf life scenes restored by mechanical technology, walking on the stone road and watching a cluster of sheep-toothed ferns growing from the cracks on the bricks on the roadside, smelling the damp earthy smell and the sour smell of plants will still make people feel happy.
Under Alfonso's leadership, they turned the street corner and the black sign of the pharmaceutical factory was hung outside. This was a small courtyard, but there was not a single person nearby. The wall was painted with red paint on the wall with a slogan "The crisis is severe, no entry is allowed."
"Is it convenient for us to get in?" Li Yi stopped and asked.
"It doesn't matter. The most important thing for us is the medicine field. This is just a place for fine-processing and prescription configuration. The slogans outside are to prevent ignorant young dwarves from sneaking in and taking some medicine by mistake. It's very troublesome." Alfonso explained.
Several people walked into the pharmaceutical factory, and there were some dusty abrasives outside. A Fangsuo took out an identity card and brushed it in a hidden groove. With the rumbling sound, the stone door in front of him rolled into the wall next to him, and a smell of medicine and Lai Sushui came to his face.
Andro frowned and shook his body twice, as if he was about to fall, "Sorry, I'm allergic to the smell of disinfectant, so I won't go in."
"Well, then just go around the town. Mark the dangerous places and don't go, be careful not to lose your life." Alfonso took care of him and led Li Yi into the production workshop.
The stone door behind him closed, and it was pitch black inside. You could feel the hardness of the iron ground under your feet. A suspicious rumbling sound came from a distance. Alfonso fumbled on the wall twice and found a handle. He pulled the light.
The white lights suddenly spread out, and a silver metallic luster appeared in front of me. This was a large workshop, with five assembly lines silently advancing forward.
"It's so spectacular!" Feld exclaimed. Countless gears and bearings were rotating evenly, pulling a small mechanism and making a certain part of it protrude. Although it was a mechanical one, it didn't feel dull, as if every part had life, and the friction and impact of the metal were their words.
Pieces of green or even gold and red medicinal materials are crushed by the machine to remove the residue, and then package or add other medicines directly, mix them in a glass container to produce chemical reactions, and extract filtrate or steam.
Some peel off the skin, and some take out the roots, and the fragrance of medicine comes from these broken medicinal materials.
"This is just a production workshop for ordinary potions. There is no dwarf. It is fully automatic. There will be technicians to rest every once in a while. Really advanced drugs are produced by hand. When you get the medicine, you should be careful when you see those potion masters. They have strange tempers, so why are they old!"
"It's so advanced. I really want to see how those top-level potions are produced. Do you want to make cooking?" Li Yi thought. He had never had a clear understanding of potions. He felt that it was nothing more than healing wounds. The increase in spiritual power was not ideal. However, seeing such a large-scale production, if it was a large-scale battle, the increase in potions would have a great impact on the battle situation. As for high-level potions, he had seen the curse powder of Dark Rock City, which could turn people into mice. This is no longer an ordinary drug, which is essentially reversed from biological essence.
When we arrived at the back, we finally looked like a military aircraft. The tightly biting iron door was painted with red stripes representing danger, and the disinfection of layers of medicine, they gradually went deeper into the ground, and the atmosphere became gloomy. The smell of medicine and darkness easily reminded people of the morgue in the hospital.
