In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

But then Gazel brought his whole face close and stared at him seriously.

This sudden action startled him.

What are you doing?

"Hmph, you'd better not use your abilities inside. There are magic temperature control detectors there. If an explosion happens inside, we could all be in danger."

Gazel was still worried and gave Gransta a heads-up.

Guranstad was well aware that some experiments required extremely strict temperature control, and that unstable reactions could occur at different temperatures.

He gave Gazel a reassuring reassurance.

"Don't worry, I'll control myself."

Just in case, Gransta had the Overlord restrict his abilities.

Hearing Gulansta's assurance, Gazel felt somewhat relieved and led them into the laboratory.

Upon entering the underground laboratory, the scene inside was somewhat unexpected and even a bit shocking.

The heat wave that hit me felt like I was in a furnace; the temperature came from the giant device at the center, where molten lava was constantly flowing.

This massive molten lava device, like a mechanical heart, emitted a low-frequency rhythmic sound, especially as each rhythm caused the flow of magic fluid.

There's no need to worry about insufficient light; the flowing lava has already illuminated the area in a bright red glow.

Gransta looked at the somewhat exaggerated device, and he knew that the liquid inside was the product of compressing magic essence to the extreme.

He also discovered that the Overlord had begun to automatically scan everything around him, and a virtual floor plan of an underground laboratory appeared in his mind.

What surprised him most was that the Overlord had activated the detection function, continuously recording all the Pokémon technology and operating principles here.

Ah, this isn't quite right (￢_￢)

Gulansta glanced at Gazel furtively, but he seemed completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Shocking, isn't it?"

Gazel looked at the different expressions on these people with a slight sense of pride. This place was a gathering place for the nation's dwarven technology and undisclosed weapon technology, and it was also the source of their confidence that they had never been defeated since the founding of the nation.

"Hmm... a little."

Long Xueqing, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. Even the Ice Guard couldn't help but look up. The giant device stored tens of thousands of times more magic energy than his own body.

Kuroya, on the other hand, wasn't very interested. She only came because she heard that her sister and Ramiris were here.

"Haha, this is the core technology of our dwarf race that has been around for thousands of years. Almost all the facilities in the country rely on it to operate."

Gazeer's lips were practically curled into a smile; they were known as a major armed power because of their top-notch armed military strength.

Granstas was relieved to find that no one else could detect the Overlord's actions. This was the Overlord's doing, and had nothing to do with him.

"That's really impressive. This is both your strength and your weakness."

Then, out of the blue, a bland remark suddenly came out.

Long Xueqing and the others did not understand why Lord Gransta would say such a thing.

Gazel also turned to look at Gransta, gesturing for him to continue.

Seeing that they were all staring at him so intently, especially Gazel's sharp gaze, he was struck by their stares.

Gulansta had no choice but to voice his thoughts.

"Think about it, this place is where the core of the nation is concentrated. What if it were to be blown up one day or be targeted by the enemy?"

"If we destroy this place, the Dwarf Kingdom will be essentially destroyed."

hiss--

They all looked at Lord Gransta in shock. Why would the Lord have such a dangerous idea? Even if he did, he shouldn't have said it so bluntly.

Gazel's face immediately darkened, and he felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he couldn't vent it.

Looking at Gazel's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Gulansta felt a completely opposite emotion and laughed, asking a question with concern.

"Brother Gazel, why do you look so pale? I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Gazel stared at Gransta for a long time before the emotions surging in his heart finally calmed down.

This guy is definitely trying to provoke him on purpose; if he gets really angry, he'll fall into his trap. It's true, dangerous individuals like Granstas need to be treated with caution; he's starting to regret bringing this guy here.

"It's alright. We've considered the situation you just mentioned, but this place is very well hidden and has a lot of defensive weapons."

Gransta gave a faint "oh." This place was indeed very secluded, but it wasn't perfect. The floor plan the Overlord had given them had already revealed everything about this place; there were no secrets to speak of.

Gazel had no time to continue the introduction and quickly led Gransta and his group to the Magic Armored Soldier Research Area.

Long Xueqing and the Ice Guards followed obediently behind Gransta.

...

"Hey, keep carving your magic, be careful."

"And you can't even perform such a simple elven spell? How did you even get here?"

"Yes, yes, Lady Ramiris, you are right. We will rearrange it immediately."

Even after being scolded by Ramiris, the dwarf in the white lab coat remained completely absorbed in his work.

"Seriously, it's so hot in here. I need to speed things up, I can't stay here any longer. I really want to know where that guy Gransta is hanging out..."

Ramiris floated in mid-air, fanning herself with her hand while directing a group of researchers below, looking every bit like a big sister.

Torene thoughtfully fanned herself with a large leaf and comforted her from the side:

"Lady Ramiris, you've really worked hard..."

"Well, thankfully Torene is with me."

Gransta witnessed this dramatic scene as soon as he arrived. Ramiris was working quite hard, and there were so many people serving her here.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

A dwarf noticed Gazel's arrival and quickly stopped what he was doing, shouting.

The others stopped and respectfully bowed to their king, their expressions full of admiration.

It must be said that Gazel's prestige in the dwarf kingdom was at its peak, and he was the faith of all dwarves.

Ramiris immediately noticed the commotion and turned her head in displeasure, only to see Gransta staring at her.

Upon seeing the person she longed to see, Ramiris's eyes began to well up with tears. She immediately transformed into golden light and hurtled towards Gransta.

"Waaah... Gransta, are you here to pick me up? This is so great! I haven't been eating or sleeping well here... and the people here are so disobedient..."

She was pretending to be pitiful while flying, but Gransta quickly grabbed her and picked her up, his lips twitching slightly.

"Wait a minute... I just saw you being served very well by Torene, didn't I?"

...
