That's right! Doggett Red Hammer's voice was like a thunderclap that shook people's hearts. I am Leox, the creator of the world, and I have come to take back what is rightfully mine!
The gray gem suddenly sensed the existence of the God of Heaven and immediately responded to the dangerous situation it was in, emitting a dazzling gray light. It was trapped in the magic array on the ground and could not escape, so it began to spin rapidly, constantly changing its size and shape until it could not be seen clearly by the human eye.
The appearance of the mage also changed. The black dragon appeared once again. Its heavy body crushed the chair, and its huge wings almost filled the entire conical room.
Palin looked on indifferently, and his heart fell into a fierce struggle. The gray gem emitted all its energy! He wanted to protect himself. It was willing to exchange anything for Berlin's loyalty, and anything Palin wanted could be realized in an instant. Images kept flowing in his mind. He saw himself become the leader of the white-robed mages, and saw himself rule the Mage Council. He drove the evil dragon back to the bottomless abyss! He fought with the Queen of Darkness. He only needed to kill this dwarf…
Killing God? he asked incredulously.
" I will grant you power," Gray Gem replied.
Palin looked around and found that Shidon was covered in sweat, his eyes were unfocused, and his fists were clenched. Even the usually calm Tenny paled and pursed his lips, as if he was looking at the bright future that only he would experience.
Doggett stood in the center of the pentagram, looking at them without saying a word.
Palin held his staff tightly and almost cried because of the torture. His face was pressed against the staff, and the silent words appeared in his mind.
I've only been loyal to myself in this life. All the choices I made were the result of my own free will. I have never been enslaved or dominated by anyone or anything, not even after the darkness! You can bow down to others out of respect and respect, but you must never bow down because you submit!
Palin blinked as if he had woken up from a nightmare. He did not know if he had really heard those words, but they had come straight to his mind, and he now knew their power. No! He could finally tell Gray Gem firmly," At this moment, he realized that the Black Dragon behind him was also experiencing the same torture.
But I don't want to eat them alive! The dragon wailed. Alright, I don't mind restoring the island to its original state. Ten virgins who are not poets are also really good.
Palin looked at the black dragon warily and noticed that its red eyes began to flash with a fanatical light. Strong acid dripped from its mouth, corroding many holes on the floor. The black dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Tenny! Shidon! Berlin grabbed the brother closest to him and shook him violently. It was Tenny. The big man slowly turned to look at his brother, but he did not seem to know him.
Help me, Mage! Tenny hissed. Help me kill that dwarf! I will become a general who will accomplish great deeds…
Dao foundation! Berlin charged at the dwarves. Think of something! The young mage shouted frantically and waved at the dragon.
I'm thinking, boy, I'm thinking. Doggett looked calmly at the gray gem.
Palin could see the Black Dragon's eyes looking at him hungrily. The black wings trembled slightly.
Palin panicked and decided to perform hypnosis. At the same time, he reached into his bag and took out fine sand. However, he suddenly sensed something with fear. His fingers became stiff, and sand slid down between his fingers.
His magic power disappeared.
No, God, no! Berlin wailed as he looked up at the gray gem. It was now like a gray star, ruling the world with the power of chaos.
The wooden door opened with a bang and slammed into the wall.
Gray Gem, we've come as ordered! said a voice.
It was the voice of the black-haired beauty. The blonde followed behind him, and all the other women, young and old, followed behind him. The faintly discernible silk dress and seductive smile had disappeared. The women were dressed in tiger skin, with feathers tied to their heads and stone spears in their hands.
At this moment, Danny's voice sounded like a clear horn. All troops, listen up! Come to my side! Gather! He raised his arm and roared, and the women responded with wild shouts.
Bring me the wine! Shidon danced impromptu. Let's start celebrating!
The blonde beauty looked at him, her eyes filled with lust. Unfortunately, this was not the kind of desire he wanted. She raised her spear and looked at Commander Tenny, waiting for the order to attack.
Did you agree? The Black Dragon's forked tongue kept stuttering. Don't become a valley dwarf again? I don't care about anything else, but don't turn me into a valley dwarf again!
The world had gone crazy! Palin leaned weakly against the wall. He felt his strength and rationality slipping through his fingers like quicksand. The chaos around him and the weakness of losing his magic power made his rationality begin to fade. He stared at the Mazi Staff, only to see a piece of rotten wood with worthless glass at the end. He heard Tenny loudly ordering the troops to attack, while the other brother shouted for the musicians to change the song. He heard the black dragon's wings creak and the black dragon took a deep breath. Next would be the acid that would corrode people's flesh. Berlin closed his eyes, threw away his useless staff, and leaned against the wall in despair.
Stop! A thunderous voice roared. Stop, I order you!
Hun Dun lasted for a split second, and then the chaos in the room turned into extreme silence. Doggett stood on the pentagram in the middle of the room. Blackbeard was trembling in anger. He raised his hand and shouted," ReorxDrachKalahzar!" A huge warhammer appeared in the dwarf's hand. The war hammer emitted a scorching red light, reflecting in Dao Gen's bright eyes.
Yes, it was! The dwarf said as he looked at the glowing gray gem. I understand your power! That's right! Because you are my creation! You can continue to spread chaos, and you know I can't stop you. But you will be trapped here forever! You will never be free,
The light of the gray gem flickered for a moment, as if considering what Dogan had said. Then the light began to pulse, more dazzling than before, and Palin began to feel unprecedented despair.
Wait a minute! Doggett shouted as he raised his hand, his other hand gripping the burning red war hammer. I suggest we let the odds decide everything. I'll…make a bet with you!
The gray gem seemed to be considering this suggestion, and the speed of the pulse slowed down.
Bet? The women lowered their spears and muttered.
" Bet," the Black Dragon said happily, sitting back on the floor.
A bet! Palin mumbled and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. Oh my god, this was the beginning of everything!
" We agree." The black-haired beauty tapped the floor with her spear and slowly walked forward. What was the bet?
the root of the Dao is smooth and the beard is smooth. These young men, he finally pointed at Tenny, Shidon, and Palin and said," Here you go." If I lose, the gray gemstone will grant me freedom.
What was that? Tenny and Shidon suddenly regained consciousness, as if they were hearing their conversation for the first time.
You can't do this to us, dwarf! Tenny rushed forward, but two tall and muscular women grabbed him. With the strength bestowed by the gray gem, they easily tied his hands behind his back. The other two women took care of Shidon. No one paid attention to Palin.
If I lose this bet and Doggett continues calmly, these young men will stay by your side and become your slaves. I will break the curse of the Binding Gem, and it will regain its freedom and return to the earth. If I win, the gray gem must be returned to me, and these men must be released.
" We agree to the bet," the black-haired beauty said after glancing at the gray gem. How should he bet?
Dogan seemed to be thinking, his fingers twirling around his beard. His eyes happened to stop on Palin, and then he smiled. This young man, he pointed at the mage and said," He will throw my war hammer into the sky. It will stop in midair and never fall to the ground."
Everyone looked at the dwarf silently, thinking. What was the point of this? And then, no! Dao foundation! Palin ran nervously from the wall. A woman pushed him back.
This young man? The black-haired woman suddenly understood. But he was a mage-
Only a very young wizard, said Doggett hastily. And he doesn't know how to cast spells, right, Berlin? the dwarf asked, winking at Palin when the woman wasn't looking.
Dao foundation! Palin struggled to break free from the woman's restraint and was so weak that he almost could not walk. I can't! My mana-
Never say no, lad, said Doggett sternly. Didn't your uncle teach you? He winked at Berlin again.
It seemed that the black-haired beauty suddenly understood Berlin's weakness. She turned to look at her companion and smiled in satisfaction. We agree, she said.
Dao foundation! Palin shouted nervously, grabbing the dwarf who was looking at him with a cunning smile. Doggett, I can't use magic! I have no more magic power! The gray gemstone had sucked all of his mana dry! he whispered anxiously to the dwarf. Doggett's expression changed instantly. It's too late for that, boy, he muttered, rubbing his chin as he looked at the women. What a pity, he shook his head sadly. It was a pity. Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure! Berlin shouted.
Alright, young man, let's try our best! The dwarf patted Palin's hand. Come on! He shoved the war hammer into Berlin's hands. After the warhammer sensed the unfamiliar touch, the red light disappeared and was replaced by a lead-gray luster.
Palin looked helplessly at his brothers. Tenny looked at him solemnly. Shidon turned his head away, his shoulders drooping.
Palin licked his dry lips. He was still not sure how to hold the war hammer. He tried to raise the warhammer. He let out a muffled grunt, and his brothers also let out a grunt.
Heavens! Berlin said. Dao Gen, I can barely lift this thing! How could I throw it out? The young man looked into the dwarf's eyes and muttered," You are a god…I don't think you would…Of course not, young man!" The dwarf looked shocked. I have a divine personality! You should understand…
Of course, Palin snorted.
You see, young man, Doggett is fiddling with Palin's hand. It wasn't that difficult. You just need to hold the warhammer like this, yes, just like this... like this... Now you pick it up and start spinning around. Your momentum will assist you in lifting the warhammer. When you feel that the time is right, just let go. Nature will complete the rest of the task for you.
Nature? Palin looked doubtful.
Yes, the dwarf stroked his beard and said seriously. It was called centrifugal force or something. The dwarf explained to me.
Excellent! Palin muttered. The dwarf said it!
The young man took a deep breath and raised his warhammer. He grunted with difficulty, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He could even hear the woman giggling. He gritted his teeth and began to spin violently. He felt as if something in his body had broken. He began to realize that Dogan was right. The momentum of his movements made the warhammer seem lighter. He could raise the warhammer higher and higher. But the handle also began to slide in his sweaty hands…
He was about to lose his grip! Get down! Everyone, get down! Tenny shouted as he fell to the ground. As the women fell to the ground, the sound of spears falling to the ground could be heard. Even the black dragon, after witnessing the strange scene of Palin's hand turning faster and faster, and the war hammer beginning to turn red, also lay on the ground and tried to cover its head with its wings. Only the dwarf continued to stand, still wearing a smug smile on his face.
I…I can't hold on anymore…! BaiLin shouted, his warhammer flying out of his hand.
The young mage knelt on the ground, his entire body drained of energy. He had no spare energy to care about what happened next. However, everyone in the room raised their heads at the same time to look at where the warhammer had gone. It kept spinning, passing over the women's heads, buzzing over Tenny and Shidon, flying over the black dragon's head, and its height kept increasing. Doggett looked at Warhammer in satisfaction, his hands caressing his round belly.
The warhammer turned a scorching red and flew higher and higher. The light of the gray gem began to flicker due to sudden fear. The warhammer flew towards it!
" Yes, beauty," Doggett muttered to himself, looking at the warhammer with satisfaction. It was you who created it. Now, bring it back.
The gray gem finally realized that it might be its own power that attracted the warhammer, so it anxiously tried to lower the light. But it was too late. The warhammer went straight for the gray gem as if it was going for the arm of a lover. After a series of cracking sounds, dazzling red and gray light shot out. Even Dao Gen was forced to block it with his hands. The others only saw a ball of dazzling light.
The two energies seemed to be entangled. The red and gray light intertwined with each other, and finally, the gray light began to weaken. Palin looked up with tears in his eyes, as if he saw a piece of gray jewelry fall into Doggett's hand. The reason why he couldn't be sure was because at that moment, a war hammer that was glowing red fell from the sky and landed on his body.
Palin held his head with his sore hands, and the image of his skull cracking and his brain splattering appeared vividly in front of him. Then, he heard a clanging sound. He slowly raised his head and saw Warhammer, glowing red with pride, lying at Doggett's feet.
Palin stood up trembling like the others. Berlin was sad and tired. If Tenny had not helped him, he would have collapsed to the ground. But Palin forced a smile at his brother as he approached. My magic power has recovered! he whispered. His magic power had returned!
I'm back to normal too, a voice said. Palin looked back and found that the black dragon had disappeared. In its original position was a thin middle-aged black-robed Wizard. I'm back to normal! he shouted excitedly, patting his forehead and shoulders. There were no rabbit ears! There were no dragon flames! He didn't have the muscles of a Tauren! I'm myself again, he said tearfully.
Dwarf, you lost the bet! The black-haired beauty suddenly stood up. The hammer fell to the ground.
That's right! The women shouted. If you lose the bet, these men are ours!
" Dao Root…" Tenny growled.
The women continued to press forward. Their eyes were not filled with killing intent, but with intense desire.
Doggett raised his warhammer above his head. His expression was stern, and his eyes flashed with a red light like a war hammer. His voice was no longer the voice of a gorgeously dressed dwarf, but as ancient as the mountains she carved and as deep as the ocean she poured.
Women! One of the gods said in a stern voice. Listen up! The influence of the gray gem had disappeared. Think about your children and husbands. Think of your brothers and father! Think about your home and the people who need and love you!
One by one, the women looked around in a daze. Some of them held their heads in their hands, while others blinked in confusion.
Where are we? someone asked.
Why are we dressed like this? The other man stared at the tiger skin he was wearing.
You're too bold! The blonde gave Shidon a slap.
Only the black-haired woman looked very sad. She shook her head and sighed. I miss my family. I also thought of the man I loved. But history would repeat itself. Endless wars, bloody battles, dying relatives…
She turned to look at the God of Heaven, only to see a gorgeously dressed dwarf smiling at her with understanding.
Think, girl, Doughty patted her hand gently. You've read these books, remember? They were the same. He pointed at the others. You have the knowledge now. No one can take that away from you. If you use your knowledge well, you can stop this meaningless war. With the help of men and children, you can turn this island into a paradise.
"I don't know who you are," the black-haired beauty said as she looked at the dwarf in admiration."But you are very wise." We will do as you say. We will always remember you in our hearts and prayers. (Thus, the islanders became the only believers among the human race who worshiped Leox, the creator of the world.))
She bent down and kissed Doggett on the cheek. The dwarf's face was as red as a war hammer.
Let's go! he said vaguely.
The women held hands and ran out of the room, laughing happily. The three brothers soon heard their beautiful voices fading away.
As for you, Doggett turned to the black-robed wizard.
" Don't punish me," the King of Gegath begged. I've learned my lesson. It was true. I will never have anything to do with gemstones again in my life. You must believe me! He looked at the roof and shivered. " I believe we will see you in the parliament soon," Palin said seriously as he picked up the Mazi staff. You won't become a rebellious mage again, will you?
I'm looking forward to the next gathering! King Gegath said impatiently. Can I bring any gifts? Maybe a cake? I can make delicious chocolate devil cake…
PostScript
(I'm serious this time!)
Doggett and the three brothers returned to the gnome ship without any mishaps. In fact, the soldiers were happy to see their wives back in their arms and their families reunited, and they returned their armor and swords to them. (The chief felt that it was too hot to wear armor, and he felt that the sword was a very primitive weapon compared to the spear.)
The dwarves repaired the damage to the giant ship. They even discovered that the damage to the bow of the ship had countless benefits to the steering. Therefore, they couldn't wait to rush back to the Don't Mind Them Mountains and send all the gnome fleets to the bow (or the stern?) They were all smashed.
There was another incident during this leisurely voyage (aside from having to dodge the sail, being hit by falling fish, worrying about the damage to the bow before reaching land, etc.). Doggett was pacing on deck one night, looking thoughtfully at the sky (Leox's constellation had disappeared) when he was suddenly captured by the three brothers.
Shidon, grab his hand! Tenny pounced on the dwarf from behind. BaiLin, as long as he moved his beard, he would immediately cast a hypnosis spell! What was he doing! How dare you! Doggett roared and struggled under Shidon's strange strength. We risked our lives to get that stone, Tenny said, looking sternly at the red-faced dwarf. I want to see it now.
You've been hiding from us for days, and Berlin is standing by my brother's side. At least let us have a look at it before you take it back to your furnace or whatever.
Let go of me! Dao Gen cursed. Otherwise, you won't be able to see anything for the rest of your lives! After Tenny nodded, Shidon let go of the dwarf's arm. Doggett looked at them uneasily. Where was the gray gem? The three brothers surrounded him. Let me put it this way, young man. The dwarf looked very uncomfortable. There might be a small problem.
What do you mean? Palin did not like the dwarf's expression and asked nervously. Could it be that its power is so strong that we can't see it with our naked eyes?
No, no... said Doggett slowly, blushing under Nullintari's red glow, but it wasn't... Then let's see! Tenny requested. This... err... in fact, Doggett was stuttering and twisting his beard. I... lost it.. lost it! Shi Dong said tongue-tied.
Gray gem? Palin looked around vigilantly, worried that the light of the gray gem would suddenly appear. Perhaps, losing it wasn't exactly the right word, the dwarf muttered. Let me tell you, the night before we left the island, I played dice again... His voice grew fainter and fainter.
You lost it to someone else again! Tenny moaned. Palin and Shi Dong stared at the dwarf in horror. Yes, young man. Doggett sighed heavily. I really thought that I would win this time…How many times will the gray gemstone return? Berlin muttered to himself.
That was probably the case. Anyway, this was how I lost my first bet. Don't worry, young man. The dwarf patted Palin's arm. We will get it back. One day, we will get it back! You said, we. What did it mean? Tenny shouted. I swear in the name of Paladin Gillian, the Queen of Darkness, and all the gods in the heavens, if I ever see you looking in my direction again in this life, I will immediately turn around and run away. No, run away! Shi Dong swore resolutely.
Me too, Palin said. And me! Tenny said.
Doggett looked at them. Time seemed a little lonely. Then, a smile appeared on the dwarf's face. His sharp eyes flickered. Wanna bet?
