“The little nobles and civilians in the capital nowadays don’t know what happened in the temple. But if the forged temple that has not been moved for thousands of years is demolished, this matter cannot be hidden.” The king’s voice was full of concern, “Whether this matter is described as a false god invading the temple as a forged god, or whether the nobles and the temple have fire and heavy casualties, it cannot be regarded as clear to everyone. This will directly hit the dwarves’ loyalty to the kingdom and their belief in the forged god.”
Luo Ling said: “But in Bohawks’ words, if these soul marks are not eliminated, the dwarves in the entire capital will constantly replenish the pseudo god, and there is no way to eliminate it.”
The king said: “Maybe we can come part by part and slowly replace those stones with soul marks.”
Xiao Chen held his chin and looked at the gate of the temple and thought for a while, “Maybe I have other ways to solve this problem. And by the way, I can also solve some of your troubles.”
“What’s the solution?” the king asked.
“I need a larger warehouse and a large enough stone.” Xiao Chen said.

Three days later, there was a huge cloth shed in the central square in front of the Dwarf Palace, surrounding a very tall thing. The thing was more than ten meters high and seven or eight meters in length and width. It was surrounded by the king’s guards, showing a feeling of tension as if they were facing a great enemy. And just around the guard, there was a wooden platform more than one meter high, with a podium and amplification array prepared. Some kingdom ministers, temple priests and court attendants stood on it and were waiting for something.
The central square in front of the palace is the largest open space in the lower part of the canyon, which is closer to the central axis of the Lava River than the location of the forged temple. This position can be seen clearly on both sides of the canyon. Usually, dwarves below five beards are not allowed to enter this square at will unless they are summoned or invited by the king.
But today’s rule breaks the example. From eight or nine in the morning, many dwarves came from all directions of the canyon. If you look closely, you will find that among these dwarves who came, there was a strand of beards ranging from seven strands. They were clearly walking on the road. There were only five strands and seven strands of nobles and their followers in the middle of the road. The craftsmen and farmers with one and three beards could only walk on both sides of the road, while the slaves without beards were not qualified to go on the road. They could only walk on the bumpy mud on the side of the road, or on the rocky slopes. Unless there was nowhere to go, they would only dare to step on the road carefully and then walk down again quickly. Whether it was aristocrats, craftsmen, soldiers, farmers or slaves, they were notified yesterday that they must feel the central square of the palace and the high ground on several nearby floors at ten o’clock this morning.
Dwarves have the most time concept among all races. Because there is no sun and moon underground, the ancestors of the kingdom placed large clocks that can be timed in several important positions in the canyon. These large clocks are said to be in the era of ancient magic prosperity. They were made with the help of humans and are still walking stumblingly until today.
When the pointer on the clock crossed nine-thirty, many dwarves had gathered at the entrance of the square and were searched by the guards and placed in the venue.
Of course, slaves are not qualified to walk into the square. They will be driven collectively to a relatively high place around them, and can see clearly the location of the square and see what always happens in the square from a distance. The farmers and craftsmen could only stand in the outermost part of the square, with places left for the nobles in the middle.
