() There is a magnificent city located near the Sable Mountains. On the outskirts of the city, countless farms and small villages are dotted in the picturesque scenery. Unlike the dwarves and gnomes of ancient times, the houses here are not the kind that exude a musty smell.

The cave with the earthy smell is not the kind of earth pit dug hastily, with some fur and dry grass roots casually padded in it.

These houses are all carved from whole oak trees that are more than three hundred years old. The thick trunks are hollowed out and then wrapped in birch bark to resemble sweet potato cabins. Its door is a perfect circle, a bit like the one on a red wine barrel.

The cork has a rubbed shiny handle in the middle.

Some are made of bent water pipes, while others are replaced by large screws. Push the door open and you will find a semi-barrel-shaped living room with silver-plated iron chandeliers hanging from the curved roof. Every time you arrive

When night falls, the short yordle always climbs up the ladder and lights the wick of the chandelier. In this way, the whole room is enveloped in a faint halo, illuminating everything in the room.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with large pine boards. The hastily processed boards retain the natural flavor of the trees to the greatest extent, so that they always exude the scent of pine.

In the corner of the room is a marble fireplace, and a patched iron chimney extends to the roof to discharge the soot produced by the fireplace out of the room. The floor is covered with thick carpets, which will sink if you step on them.

Into the fluffy fibers. In the center of the living room is a long table made of logs. The logs split in the middle have a heavy feel and are placed next to the fireplace. The tabletop is extremely smooth when rubbed by the sleeves, revealing the unique characteristics of wood.

texture.

There are many coat hooks nailed near the entrance of the living room. This is because the Yodel people are very hospitable and especially like people to visit their cabins.

This barrel hut has bedrooms, bathrooms, wine cellars and dining rooms, all surrounding the living room. The most annoying thing for yordles is ladders, and they don't like multi-story buildings.

When you open the window of the house, you can see the endless green grass outside. It extends to the bottom of Bandel's city wall like a green blanket. Hand-cranked rail cars run back and forth on the railways that crisscross the grass, just like a seesaw.

By pressing up and down like that, the rail car would carry the scouts along the centrally built road to patrol the entire Bandle Basin.

There is also a network of underground passages extending in all directions under the tracks and houses, which can quickly cross basins and canyons, thwart enemy attempts to cross mountains, or quickly reach the noisy coastline.

Many years later, the Yodel people still remembered this day, and this day was recorded in the history books of Bandle City.

They call this day "The bloody setting sun!"

On such a dusk, bright red clouds filled the entire sky. Orin Ralph walked out of his laboratory. He planned to pick some vegetables from the nearby vegetable garden and prepare to cook a large vegetable soup.

Bake some more whole wheat bread because there's a party at his house tonight.

Some of his friends discovered a strange metal. Through experiments, this silver-white light metal has very good ductility. It can be transformed into any desired form, such as rods, sheets, foils, ribbons and wires.

Etc. In a humid environment, an oxide film can be formed to prevent metal corrosion.

And when its powder is heated, it can burn violently and emit a dazzling white flame.

It is light in weight, resistant to corrosion, and can be transformed into any shape. What a wonderful metal this is. And the amount of these metals contained in the mines in the Sable Mountains is astonishing.

Orin couldn't help laughing a few times. He had already thought about it. These metal materials can be used in fleets and aircraft. They can allow all the ships in Bandle City to sail smoothly on the Sea of ​​Guardians without having to worry.

Sea water damages ships. Aircraft can also reduce weight, have a longer range, and carry more passengers and cargo. They can fly from Bandle City to Demacia in one go.

This is a great discovery!

Orin waved his fist. My friends and I will definitely be turned into stories by the bards and sung. From now on, every yordle will know about our contribution to Bandle City. Orin couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

.

It's really wonderful.

Just as Orin was about to push the cart to the vegetable garden, his neighbor Omar walked past his house muttering. Omar was a little old man on crutches. Although Orin was about the same age as him,

But he is always happy

They call Omar the old man. Because this guy always looks frail, wearing a pointed hat worn only by wizards, and a gray cloak that is dragged to the ground, with random stitches of different colors on it.

's patch.

In the warm Bandel Basin, Omar was actually wearing a dirty black scarf, and his long white beard hung messily down to his waist.

God, his beard must have prevented him from doing scientific experiments, Orin thought strangely, and couldn't help but imagine the funny situation of Omar's beard being twisted into the gears.

"How are you? Omar." Orin said hello cordially, holding back his laughter. His eyes were staring directly at the pointed shoes on Omar's feet. The pointed shoes were too long.

As Omar's footsteps swept left and right on the ground, he was stepped on from time to time.

Omar stopped tremblingly, his pointed shoes almost made him fall, and he stabilized his body crookedly. Omar said, "What do you mean? I have always been fine! Praise the Lord God, my dear.

Orin, it’s so surprising to see you on this bloody afternoon!”

Orin, who was smiling brightly at Omar's funny actions, was a little embarrassed. Damn the pagan, what is in his head? Can that god guarantee the success rate of scientific experiments? "Hey, listen to me.

Friends, there is a party in our Dingdang Village tonight, and everyone discovered a strange metal, which can..."

Omar opened his dim eyes and said disdainfully, "Come on, Orin has so little effort, he might as well fill up your pipe. Dusk is the most suitable time to pray. The great Lord God will definitely be able to hear the prayers of his devout servants.

."

"Oh, no!" Orin shook his head like a rattle, "Wasting time blowing smoke rings is not Yodel's hobby, it is not a good habit. As for the main god you mentioned, I have rarely heard of it. By the way,

What kind of sect is this?”

Omar rolled his eyes dissatisfied, "The Balance Sect, this is a religion spread from distant Ionia. It advocates that we live in harmony with each other and jointly seek answers to the most mysterious and mysterious questions in life. For example,

Where do we come from? Who are we? What is the true meaning of life?"

After hearing this, Olin couldn't help but widen his eyes. Omar is not crazy. This is Bandle City, and we are naturally hospitable Yodels. We advocate the perfect fusion of magic and machinery. "Oh my god. Are you crazy...

..." Orin looked at the slightly crazy Omar and said with a trembling voice, "I think you should go see a doctor. Really, Omar, you are very ill!"

At the same time, Olin's friends gathered in front of the hut in twos and threes. Other villagers from Dingdang Village also rushed here. Even the scouts running on the track stopped their hand-operated rail cars and listened to Omar's crazy talk.

The crowd burst into laughter from time to time.

"This guy actually believes in some kind of Balance Sect..."

"Horrible infidel!"

"He has been brainwashed."

"Only post-runic science can arm our brains."

"Stupid idiot!"

Omar stood quietly in front of the hut. He smiled silently for a long time, and his grinned lips revealed a few teeth that were black and worm-eaten. After smiling for a while, he looked up at the sky.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw that the clouds in the sky became increasingly red, so red that they seemed to drip with blood. Just like the battlefield of the ancient Lord God, there were rivers of blood flowing everywhere.

"Strange...Old Jack said it was a nice sunny day tonight, how could it turn out like this..."

"Something is abnormal..."

"Who has the magic stone? I think we should observe the sky again..."

With everyone's doubts, more and more people gathered here. Orin still remembered inviting everyone to come over for a party. He hurriedly took out a large bag of biscuits and snacks from home, and opened a glass of wine from a large barrel.

One cup was handed to everyone. As he was busy, he raised his ears and listened carefully to everyone's discussion. He couldn't help lamenting in his heart, Omar, can't you be normal? If everyone thinks you are a madman, they will put you in jail.

What to do with the dungeons in the Sable Mountains?

While everyone was observing the sky, Omar shivered and untied his robe and put his beard on his shoulders. Under the open clothes was a shriveled and thin body, and the poor ribs seemed to have been eaten away.

The fish's roots are clearly visible. There is a strange mark on his right chest, and underneath the mark is a scarlet sarcoma.

"I saw it! This was something given to me by Lord Kenan of the Furious Heart a few days ago. It is so cute and strong. I can feel the powerful power it contains. This power makes me feel like I am suddenly

Twenty years younger!”

Omar muttered with bright eyes. Orin noticed the madness deep in his eyes. The scarlet tumor made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He frowned and walked to Omar.

He reached out and patted Omar on the shoulder.

"Old friend, I think you are really sick. It is necessary to go to the city to see a doctor. As far as I know, the owner of the Scissors and Stones store is an experienced healer. He can..."

"Sick?" Omar knocked off Orin's hand, and he shouted angrily, "You are sick, you damn pagans, I will punish you on behalf of the Lord God. I will treat you as a sacrifice."

Give it to God!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Omar's crazy words. A few naughty guys imitated Omar's tone and said loudly, "Dedicate to God!"

Just as they were mocking Omar wantonly, they noticed that the tumor on Omar's chest beat strangely, and then there was a drum-like beating sound in his eardrums!

"Boom!"

Omar bent over in pain and roared crazily, "Listen! This is God calling me!" His body suddenly swelled up like a balloon, and his dry skin was rounded by the force inside his body, and it was less than two feet tall.

Within seconds, Omar's body suddenly exploded, and a large amount of rotten flesh and blood splashed to the ground, moving like a living thing, forming a huge five-pointed star.

The five-pointed star enveloped everyone, and then turned into a huge abyss-like mouth, swallowing everyone in its belly with each opening and closing.

The blood and residual limbs splashed out from the teeth of the huge mouth painted the hut scarlet red, and the screams of the Yodels resounded through the sky of Bandle City!
