Chapter 153 Dark Winter (Part 2)

The huge fear suppressed the gray dwarf in front of him, but in the face of Marvin's question, he seemed to be stunned.

He couldn't understand Ma Wen's words!

Marvin was a little embarrassed.

I use a common term, but this common term is generally widely used in the surface world.

There is another set of underground common words in the dark world, but I haven’t had time to learn it in this life!

Fortunately, although he doesn't understand the common language of the underground, Jessica, who has been fighting against the underground race for many years, is very proficient.

Soon, the poor gray dwarf was caught by Marvin to Jessica.

It was a huge square, and from the building next to it, it was a place for the gray dwarves to hold celebrations and various activities.

"Who are you? What's going on here?"

Jessica asked in a very bad tone.

The gray dwarf bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. The two humans on the surface in front of him are not easy to mess with at first sight, and they immediately spit out everything they know.

A few minutes later, Marvin and Jessica looked at each other and let the gray dwarf leave.

The information they wanted was basically obtained.

But the situation is a little trickier than they expected!

...

The name of this gray dwarf is Sean, and it is a very inconspicuous gray dwarf in Bledsoe.

He does not have the talent of a craftsman, and he is lazy and has no house. He is the lowest-level existence in the city.

If he hadn't had a cousin who runs a blacksmith shop who often helped him, he would have starved to death long ago.

It was difficult to obtain any useful information in such a population.

But this time, the situation is a bit special.

According to Sean's description, Bledsoe City started to have problems two months ago.

This time period is very sensitive, and both Marvin and Jessica noticed. That period was almost the same time when the Dark Dragon God sent Clark to attack the City of Hope.

There must be some connection between the expansion of the Perpetual Frozen Spring and the awakening of the Black Dragon.

Sean himself naturally heard about the specific information. Fortunately, his cousin has a high status in the city and has been exposed to it several times. He has heard some inside information!

It turned out that two months ago, Yongfrost Spring began to spray extremely cold water outward!

These extremely cold waters freeze many underground rivers, including several rivers mainly supplied by the Bledso Dentshui.

The leader of the Grey Dwarf sent many craftsmen and scholars to study how to survive this underground winter, similar extreme climates. There have been records in history, but not so serious.

The climate began to deteriorate seriously, and under the influence of extremely cold water, the crops that were rare became even more rare. People in the city began to freeze to death.

At an extraordinary moment, Bledsoe City began to implement lockdown measures.

The gray dwarves gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, they came up with a way that they should be able to obtain enough water. As for food, they may have to plunder from other city-states.

These are the laws of survival in the underground world, plundering, killing, and mating, and are the three eternal and unchanging tones of the underground world.

They sent craftsmen with superb skills to the frozen Dark Abyss River, preparing to dig out a well of water on the frozen river surface.

According to previous records in history books, during the cold winter underground, many underground rivers were frozen on the surface, but there was sufficient water source below.

As a result, a huge disaster was dug out!

A few days after the opening of the Dark Abyss River project, some strange signs appeared.

The several slaves in charge of excavation seemed to have had a sudden epilepsy and died tragically in front of everyone.

For the gray dwarves, this is an ominous sign.

Many people think that they should not dig anymore, but the leader of the gray dwarf is a very stubborn person. He personally presided over the Dark Abyss River project and ordered that he continue digging and must dig out fresh water!

Three more days later, Bledsoe received the news. The leader and the others succeeded!

They successfully dug through the ice layer of the Dark Abyss River and found the freshwater hidden below.

With Tamsui, at least this winter will not be so sad.

However, just as the residents of Bledsoe were happily preparing to welcome the leaders' return, a senior gray dwarf craftsman in charge of the Dark Abyss River project appeared in front of the city gate in blood.

The gray dwarf guards guarding the city were so scared that they rushed him to heal, but unfortunately, the craftsman had too many scars all over his body. The forging runes that the gray dwarf was good at in the treatment were not special.

The craftsman died soon.

When he died, he spoke a lot of nonsense.

He warned the people in the city that when the people of the Dark Abyss Project return to Bledsoe, they must not open the door.

Because...that's a group of monsters!

This is the original words of the craftsman.

But no one believed him.

Even though he had a high status in the gray dwarf city during his lifetime, his words were just regarded as nonsense before his death.

Only one person chose to believe him.

That's Sean.

Because that craftsman is his cousin who has helped him for many years.

This waste is lucky. After receiving the news before his cousin died, he immediately sold his cousin's blacksmith shop and obtained a fortune.

He used the money to buy a lot of grain and ale, and then locked himself in the cellar alone, living a life of isolation.

At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in Brandso.

He loves to install a prism at his doorstep. This exquisite setting is also a relic left by Sean's cousin.

Through this little thing, he can observe everything outside in the cellar.

In the first few days, they were safe and sound, and Sean was so happy that he was lazy at home, drinking and sleeping.

But then, a huge noise woke him up from his sleep.

He saw in the prism that the streets were full of gray dwarves and other creatures.

They actually started fighting each other!

Some people had panic in their eyes, and they began to run away, while others had their eyes that were pure white!

As clean and flawless as snow!

Sean began to be scared, and his cousin's words before his death appeared in his mind over and over again!

"They all turned into monsters!"

This was the only thought of the poor gray dwarf.

This time, he was even more afraid to leave the cellar.

He secretly uses his calmness to observe the situation on the street every day.

But the city became more and more chaotic, until one day, his house was invaded by monsters and his prism was destroyed!

That was the worst time when Sean was scared. Fortunately, the entrance to his cellar was very secret and he was not discovered by a monster.

In short, days passed by, and Sean kept hiding in the cellar and never came out.

Finally, he ate all the food, drank all the wine, and hungry for several days before finally leaving the cellar with red eyes.

But when he came to the street, he suddenly realized that the city was empty!

Everyone seemed to have disappeared!

Sean was so hungry that he could only find food first, and then he could not survive without wine.

As a result, at this moment, he met Marvin and Jessica.

...

"It's obvious that the disappearing gray dwarves have all gone to the City of Hope."

Ma Wen shrugged and came to the conclusion.

The dark ghost was indeed awakened, but I don’t know how many ghost mothers were there for waking up this time?
