Train to Another World.

Chapter 433 Banquet
With William's generous support, the banquet was finally held. The dwarves were quite righteous. They thought that since Li Zhuoguang's party provided the wine, they should provide the snacks.

Unfortunately, even after walking so far, the food provided by the local residents was still too exotic. Except for Ariana and Alexander who ate with relish, no one else could accept it. However, Li Zhuoguang's purpose was not to drink.

Originally, Li Zhuoguang's alcohol tolerance was only average, but now he has been strengthened too many times. Now, even if he drinks anhydrous ethanol, he will not get drunk.

Li Zhuoguang picked up a bottle of sauce-flavored beverage, sat down next to the Lord of Black Rock Castle, and filled his bottle without saying anything.

"Enough, enough, the wine is precious, you have to drink it slowly." Although he said so, the city lord Aruin's strong hand pushed on the wine bottle, but it was as weak as the breeze. After the wine glass was filled, he exerted some strength to straighten the bottle.

Aruin couldn't wait to pick up the cup, took a sip, closed his eyes, showed an intoxicated expression, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Alas! It's been a thousand years since I tasted good wine." He drank it one sip after another without Li Zhuoguang pouring it for him.

The rest of the dwarves were in the same boat. For a race whose addiction to alcohol was ingrained in their blood, a thousand years of abstinence was too much to bear. Soon, all the dwarves who participated in the feast became intoxicated.

Li Zhuoguang thought to himself that the time had come.

When he was experimenting with mind reading on Alexander, he had asked him about his specific feelings. Alexander was not very strong, but he could still feel obvious discomfort, which meant that this spell was only suitable for use on enemies. If he wanted to use it on non-hostile objects, he would have to numb his senses first.

Looking at Aruin's flushed face, Li Zhuoguang began to concentrate his mental power and twist it into the shape of the spell model.

"Wow!!!" Aruin howled loudly, which scared Li Zhuoguang.

Is the reaction so big? No, I haven't entered yet.

A closer look revealed that Aruin had already started crying, not because he had noticed Li Zhuoguang preparing to cast a spell. He stretched out his big hand, held Li Zhuoguang's shoulders, and began to cry and howl, "You don't know, I am in so much pain!"

Li Zhuoguang suddenly realized, so you are this type.

When he was still in the company, Li Zhuoguang went to receive guests with Lao Jin many times. He had seen too many men when they were drunk. Alu's performance at that time was one of the classics.

"Brother, you don't know. Think about those days..." Li Zhuoguang didn't ask, but Aruin began to tell Li Zhuoguang everything that had happened over the years like pouring beans. Li Zhuoguang nodded secretly after hearing it. That's right, it was this.

As Aruin continued to talk, Li Zhuoguang and the others came to know that this place has always been a gathering place for dwarves because of its rich mineral resources. There are many stone castles in this place, all of which are masterpieces of the dwarves.

Before the catastrophe, the huge lava lake was just a plain. On the day of the catastrophe, countless elemental creatures came from the other side of the plain. It was the first time the dwarves saw elemental creatures. Although it was the first time, judging from their ferocious appearance, they were not docile creatures.

So the dwarves took up residence in the city to defend against this unusual beast tide. Although the dwarves' stone castle was easy to defend but difficult to attack, the dwarves desperately discovered during the defense that the claws and fangs of the elemental creatures contained a toxin that was more of a curse than a toxin.

The dwarves injured by the elemental creatures gradually turned into petrified. Although a fully armed dwarf soldier could kill a lot of elemental creatures, there were just too many of them.

Moreover, under the high-intensity battle, the dwarves had no chance to find a way to break the petrification curse. When the last dwarf was forced to retreat to the warehouse by the elemental creatures, the dwarves launched a second round of offensive.

Aruin drank the wine in the cup, opened his breastplate, and revealed his stone skin: "The second round of attacks came from the morgues of various castles. I was one of the first dwarves to be cursed by petrification. I could feel my body getting weaker and weaker until I couldn't move.

The tribe used the hall in the castle as a morgue and put me in there to die. I didn't blame him because it was my brother who put me in there. Not long after, he lay beside me. That battle was too tragic. In the legend of our dwarves, our ancestors jumped out of stones. I always listened to it as a legend, but when the morgue was filled with cursed dwarves, most of them turned into stone statues permanently, while the others survived.

We picked up our weapons again and fought back. But we found that the elementals thought we were their own kind and did not attack us. The dwarves relied on our petrified dwarf army to repel the elementals. "

Li Zhuoguang was stunned for a moment and asked, "That battle took place a thousand years ago, right?"

Aruin nodded. "Yes, the curse on the group of us who survived never got worse, but it didn't get better either, so we discussed and decided to let the normal dwarves live in the castle and try not to come out, while our group of cursed dwarves will guard outside and block the elemental creatures."

"Now, Black Rock Castle is the only city left?"

Aruin shrugged, "This has nothing to do with elemental creatures. Within a hundred years after the catastrophe, all the grass on this plain died. Two hundred years later, we saw a magma pool in the distance. Although it was slow, it was constantly eroding this side.

From then on, elemental creatures no longer came from the ground, but were wrapped in meteorites and flew directly over.

We began to move our people back, since there weren't many people left anyway, and we could barely fit them in. In this way, the lava slowly devoured one castle after another, and when it was about to reach Black Rock Castle, it stopped and never moved forward again. By then, six hundred years had passed.

We expanded the original Black Rock Castle, and it became what it is today. And then I don’t know how, I became the leader of Black Rock Castle.”

Li Zhuoguang thought about the dwarves' nervousness about the castle, and pointed to his feet: "Are those normal dwarves still living here?"

Aruin took the wine from Li Zhuoguang and poured himself another glass: "Of course, dwarves like us can no longer reproduce, but they can still continue their offspring. Each of them is a treasure of the dwarves, and we swear to protect their safety.

Oh! I get talkative when I drink. Let me tell you, what are you doing here, and what's the matter with that devil?"

Li Zhuoguang pointed to Xiong Facai, who was teaching the dwarves at another table to add honey to wine to reduce the spiciness: "The fire demon you saw before was called Little Stove. When we first met him, he was also our enemy.

But after he was defeated by Brother Fa Cai, Brother Fa Cai thought he was a promising talent and took him with him to practice. Now he is our companion.

As for us, we are here to put an end to the cataclysm."

“Hahaha! Hiccup~” Aruin laughed: “You… you haven’t drunk much, how come you’re drunk already? In that catastrophe, the gods were the first to leave us.

When we faced the elemental creatures back then, those earth priests couldn't even cast a single spell and could only pick up hammers and fight the elemental creatures in hand-to-hand combat.

End...end the catastrophe? Even if the gods were to come back again, it would be difficult to do so."

"No matter how difficult it is, you should always give it a try. What if you can succeed?"

"HooZZZzzz~HooZZZzzz~" When Li Zhuoguang turned his head, Aruin had already fallen asleep on the table. Li Zhuoguang put his hand on his shoulder and shook him a few times, but failed to wake him up.

Just in case, Li Zhuoguang used his mind-reading ability.
