Chapter 126 Gnomes
Some people say: The universe was nothing before its birth. In fact, it was not, since then, and it has been darkness all the time.
Nidavelheim, a dwarf's settlement, is shrouded in clouds all year round, without sunlight, and is always in a dim light.
The dwarfs live in this world. They are the most powerful craftsmen. They have all kinds of mysterious powers and profound knowledge. They have created many treasures.
Odin's Spear, Thor's Hammer, Brich Gaman, Drop Neil...
These powerful artifacts are all from their hands, and their craftsmanship is breathtaking!
At this time, Hodge was floating quietly outside the blue planet, frowning tightly. Although he did not enter directly, Hodge could clearly see the main creatures living on this planet.
It is about the same height as a normal person, perhaps because of the aesthetic problem between different races. They have ugly appearances, their long noses sag loosely on their lips, their skin appears muddy earthy, and their hair and beard are all black and very dense.
The place where they lived was a crypt and a cave. What surprised Hodge the most was that there was a huge furnace in their residence, and the walls were covered with all kinds of weapons and armor.
In addition to these ugly ‘people’, there are also strange beasts, and the roar that Hodge heard before was also made by a beast on this planet.
Hodge floated above the planet, not only to observe the life of this planet, but also to learn the language of this planet. With Hodge's super brain, it won't take long to learn a language.
After a little thought and exploring from their conversations with each other, Hodge was able to say the same words as them fluently, and it was very standard.
After learning the language of this planet, Hodge got some knowledge he wanted from the content of their conversation, and Hodge also knew that these ugly "people" turned out to be the legendary dwarfs!
Hearing this, Hodge looked down at the Stone of Power that he was still surrounded by his right hand, and an impulse arises in his heart. He needs these dwarfs to help him create equipment that can dress and use the Stone of Power!
...
Ding! Ding! Ding...
On a low hill, a dwarf waved the mine pickaxe in his hand and hit the red rock one after another. The hard and sharp mine pickaxe hit the rock and made a crisp sound of gold and iron.
"I want Kalodima to know that the equipment I made by Edka is the best!" The dwarf said panting while panting.
"Hey, do you need help?" Just as Edka mumbled in his mouth and wanted to be the best forge in the village. A gentle voice suddenly rang behind him.
The mine pickaxe that had just been raised in Edka's hands suddenly paused, and with a lightning speed, he threw it down directly, and then pulled out a sharp sword from his waist. The incandescent light flashed on it, causing ripples in the surrounding air.
Not far behind Edka, Hodge's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the sword in Edka's hand. There was a fluctuation that made him palpitations, making him feel very uncomfortable.
However, while being in a palpitations, Hodge also admired the forging skills of these dwarfs, and also tightened the stone of power in his hand.
"Don't be nervous. I have no malice." Hodge saw the dwarf who called himself Edka looking at him with a vigilant look, and quickly waved his hand to show that he had no malice.
When Edka saw Hodge's appearance, the vigilance in his eyes relaxed a little, put away the long sword with magic waves in his hand, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Did you come from Asgard? Or Warnerheim?"
Without waiting for Hodge's answer, Edka continued, "Please say hello in advance when you come, you should know that wild animals often appear here."
"Why are you the only one? Didn't you come for weapons?"
Hodge heard Edka's question and was immediately a little overwhelmed. Finally, he could only say with a dry smile, saying, "I am the only one. I want to ask you to help me create a equipment that can exert its power!"
Hodge showed Edka the Stone of Power on his right hand and looked at the dwarf with a smile on his face.
Hodge naturally would not just find a dwarf casually, and then asked for help in making equipment. You know, even if it is a dwarf, their forging ability is different.
The most important thing is that dwarfs are almost all weird-tempered and stingy by nature. They want to ask them to help build equipment. Unless they can come up with something that satisfies them in exchange for it, they will never help!
Although this dwarf named Edka is not very good, his family is very famous among dwarfs. Their family is the dwarf family that created the Thor's Hammer!
"What is this? Even without contact, I can feel the power contained in it." A surprising light burst out from Edka's dark eyes, staring at the power stone surrounding Hodge's right hand, and even the idea of asking for reward was forgotten.
This is also a small trick by Hodge. For these dwarfs, rare materials are what they pursue, and being able to use rare materials to forge artifacts with their own hands is one of their dreams!
So, Edka took the bait directly!
Seeing Edka's obsessive look, Hodge smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Although these dwarfs have a lot of mysterious power and magic, their IQ is a bit indebted."
"So, can you create equipment that can perfectly exert its power?" Hodge continued to guide the dwarf who had been shocked by the Stone of Power.
"No... no, of course I, Edka!" The dwarf said what he was thinking honestly, but as soon as he said it, he immediately woke up, slapped his chest and shouted loudly.
Hodge didn't care when he saw Edka's appearance. After all, approaching him was just to get the human artifact master in his family, Shindri, to take action.
As for why Hodge didn't go directly to find Cinderry, there was a reason. After all, Hodge was not a real Asgardian, and the dwarf didn't know him. He was not Thor or Loki. He was famous and surnamed in the nine kingdoms of gods. What if he came straight up, what if he treated you as an enemy?
Therefore, Hodge could only trouble a little, save the country in a curve. Although he could not go directly, as long as he passed the stone of power in his hand, he would definitely attract the attention of those powerful forgeators.
After all, they also hope that a super artifact can be born from their own hands!
"So what do I need to do?" Holding the Stone of Power, Hodge asked with a smile.
"No, can I take a closer look at it?" Edka's eyes shone with a hint of eagerness in his tone.
Hodge raised his eyebrows, looked at Edka, whose excited face turned red, and slowly stretched out his right hand and presented the Stone of Power in front of him.
The red light shone in Hodge's palm, illuminating Edka's earthy skin red!
Hodge dared not to do this, but Edka dared to rob his own Stone of Power. After all, the magic is powerful, and it will be useless if he didn't hit Hodge. Hodge naturally has extremely confident about his speed and strength!
Seeing the Stone of Power, the light in Edka's eyes became even more intense. He raised his hand gently, and the Stone of Power wrapped around Hodge's palm seemed to have been pulled, floating towards him and then surrounded him.
"This is really the masterpiece of the Creator!" Edka looked at the Stone of Power floating around him and sighed, but while sighing, he felt a little unwilling to accept it because he could not make equipment that could exert the Stone of Power.
However, he couldn't. But his family could, so he had to convince Hodge that he could help him create the equipment he wanted.
"Cough." After a light cough, Edka looked at Hodge with a somewhat unnatural look and said, "That's right. Although I can help you build equipment, I need an assistant, so..."
Edka is obviously not good at lying, looks flustered, and looks very funny.
But Hodge's purpose was to find Cinderry to help him build his equipment, so he pretended to be amazed: "Oh! Is it? The great forge always needs a few assistants to help him with some trivial matters."
After Hodge said this, Edka's confidence instantly burst out. He took back the Stone of Power, and then returned it carefully to Hodge. After laughing, he said, "Come with me, we'll go now."
Looking at Edka who was leading the way with excitement, Hodge smiled slightly, with an indescribable weirdness on his face. The IQ level of these dwarfs is speechless. No wonder Loki can harvest seven or eight magical tools by just one trip.
Following Edka, Hodge came to a mountain with black rocks on the surface. The yellow landmark under his feet had turned into a pitch-black rock, and the temperature under his feet also increased. A wave of heat came out from the inside of the mountain, and the high temperature caused a trace of distortion of the surrounding air.
Hodge squinted his eyes and looked at the black mountain. At first glance, caves of different sizes covered the entire mountain's surface like honeycombs.
This is a huge volcano. Hodge could easily see the magma that was constantly active inside. The golden-red magma rolled in the mountain, but they seemed to be bound by something and could not erupt.
"Haha, welcome to my family. Let's go and meet the patriarch first. Only he has materials to create the equipment you want." Edka laughed and walked towards a hole under the volcano.
At this time, Edka had completely forgotten that he had said he wanted to find a few assistants to build equipment himself, but this was exactly what Hodge wanted!
Chapter completed!
