Chapter 114: Praise the Skull Lord_2
Speaking of which, Lurik led Kana and the others directly to the Three-Man Council hall.
The council hall was quite spacious, with a ceiling two to three meters high, allowing even Raelia and her companion to move freely.
Feeling the space, Raelia touched her head and sighed with relief, "This is much better, elsewhere I always feel cramped."
"Haha, don't worry, we also have houses here prepared for larger beings. Though they haven't been used in a long time."
A Dwarf came out laughing from another door.
This Dwarf's beard was a wheat yellow, coupled with his thick, wild hair.
The whole person looked like a golden lion, not to mention he wore a slightly scratched yet extremely heavy armor.
The momentum as he walked over felt as if a mountain was moving.
Beside him was another Dwarf, who appeared much more normal, but visibly older than Lurik.
Even they could tell his old age, even faced with the Dwarves whose faces were extremely similar.
"Let me introduce, this is the Castle Lord of Gray Furnace Castle—Sergio Grey Mountain."
"And this is our Master of Brewing—Tovi Golden Flower Wine Grey Mountain."
The Castle Lord named Sergio strode up to Kana, patting him on the back.
"Resilient body, young man—very impressive, hahaha."
He seemed both self-assured and approachable.
"Evil Breaker, young man, you're a bit thinner than I imagined." The Master of Brewing couldn't help but laugh.
In human terms, Kana couldn't be considered thin, he might even be described as somewhat robust, though he preferred wearing slightly large clothes.
"Alright, you two, don't scare our friend, he's here to help us!"
Lurik couldn't help but interject.
The two laughed, said a few words, and returned to their seats.
Lurik gave Kana an apologetic look, but Kana just smiled slightly.
Though he was slightly surprised, it was okay, after all, he had some expectations about the personalities of these two.
But admittedly, such unique personality displays in reality felt much more natural than in a game.
Kana nodded, looking at the Three-Man Council and some Dwarves who followed, as well as Alyris and others.
He said to Bobo, "Note this down, Bobo, the Night Watchers may need it in the future."
Bobo nodded, switching to a larger notebook.
"With the history of you Dwarves, I believe you three must know what you're facing?" Kana first asked rhetorically.
The Dwarves like Getai didn't quite understand, they were unaware of that history and hadn't particularly focused on it.
Though Dwarves would record history, if it wasn't important, they wouldn't document it, and the younger Dwarves didn't like reviewing the past.
"Hmm, we more or less guessed it. It's very likely the enemy our ancestors fiercely battled against a thousand years ago."
Hearing Lurik say this, Getai and the others roughly knew what was being referred to, slapping their heads as they recalled.
Though Dwarves didn't like looking back at the past, they knew about such significant historical events.
Not to mention, it was a glorious history worth celebrating.
"The 'Skull Deity', an intruder from the outside, a true Evil God."
Kana narrated.
His finger flicked slightly, and blood flicked from his hand.
Blood coagulated in mid-air into a symbol.
Inside an inverted triangle was a skull similar to a human's but with many twisted cranial bones.
"This is its symbol, those who believe in it would use this symbol to practice their faith and worship.
And this Evil God is without a doubt a Demon, born from the Abyss."
"Demon?" Bobo furrowed his brow.
Others showed confusion; in this world, 'Demon' was a specific term used to describe one entity.
It didn't have much relation to chaos or evil.
"Yes, a Demon, chaotic and evil. About a thousand years ago, this world should have suffered much from Demons rampaging."
Kana added.
Lurik thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps there is such a record, but probably not many, I only have a vague impression."
This implies these Demons were not recorded by the Dwarves as something overly important.
After all, the Demon crisis wasn't severe then, and the existence of Demons wasn't exactly a secret.
Only the Master of Brewing, after thinking for a moment, replied, "During the years from my birth to adolescence, rumors of Demons were indeed quite frequent.
In those years long past, I often heard such terms, referred to as Demonic creatures."
"Then why haven't I heard of it, only from some stories did I hear such terms," Bobo couldn't help but speak.
It was like creatures that would exist in stories, like Alyris who stayed in the Safro Kingdom, hearing about Elf and Dwarf races in stories.
"We can discuss why later, now let's focus on this Evil God born from Demons."
Drawing everyone's attention back again.
