"Oops!"
The sore voice of the girl Xuexue came out from the dark tunnel. The dwarf who had just crawled out of the tunnel had to look back. He saw the little Roman walking out from below with his forehead in his hands and tearful eyes.
"What's the matter?" The old dwarf slapped the businessman girl's left hand, and saw that the tearful little Roman's snow-white forehead was red. He couldn't help his eyes staring, and said angrily: "Why hit you again? Not telling Have you ever been-this is a tunnel specially dug for myself, of course it is shorter than you," Oldham grumbled reluctantly: "So be careful when you go in and out!"
"I didn't say it again!" Little Roman hugged his head, frowned and muttered softly.
"This doesn't need to be reminded all the time, little girl!" The dwarf sighed and stretched out his hand to pull her up from the tunnel: "Okay, how about it, is it still hurting, little guy?"
"Of course it hurts!" answered without hesitation.
"We have to endure the pain. Our dwarves won't say a word even if we hit the iron plate." Oldham stood on the hillside and looked down. Below is the way to enter the mining area: "Okay, we're already here. Hurry up and wrap your headscarf!"
But Roman is obviously more interested in the old dwarf's previous sentence: "Really?" She widened her eyes, "I won't say a word when I hit an iron plate... That?"
"Naturally," the old dwarf suddenly saw the obvious unbelief on the little girl's face, so he widened his eyes and said angrily: "Joke! Little girl, a dwarf like me, has a beard longer than your hair. Could it still lie to you!"
But then he opened his mouth wide, and saw little Roman rumbling in his backpack with interest, and then took out a dark object.
"What is this?" Oldham asked with deep suspicion.
"Iron plate!"
"what?"
"Try it?" The businessman asked curiously, her eyes widened.
"Go, how can a dwarf do such a boring thing!" The old dwarf suddenly changed his expression: "Speaking of which, little girl, how can you carry this thing in your bag!"
But his face immediately became weird.
Because the merchant lady was tilting her head and looking at him with a smile, putting her green onion-like fingers on her cheek: "Shame, bragging! As expected, my aunt didn't lie to Roman, she said dwarves like bragging!"
"Who said that!" Oldham was furious, he shook his fist, but suddenly thought that the other party was just a female stream-a dwarf like him, can't care about a little girl's aunt-in the end he The reluctance turned into a cough: "Well, who told you that, tell you little guy, only witches can say that!"
Oldham didn’t know what he said was true, but after thinking about it, he decided to maintain his majesty: “The reason why he didn’t try is because it’s not necessary. This is the mining area, you know, we sneaked in, It's not good if you make a sound and be caught!"
"Really?"
"Of course! Little guy, do you think someone like me lie to you? I'm different from those cunning humans!"
But before he finished speaking, he heard a low shout from Lin Ziwai:
"Who's in it?"
The old dwarf's words suddenly suffocated. He turned his head stiffly and found that a group of patrolling cavalry appeared on the road outside the forest at some point, because the voice of his conversation with Roman was too loud, and it was obviously discovered by the other party.
"Broken." Oldham frowned, put his stubby fingers to his lips and gave Roman a'shhh' gesture: "Don't make a sound."
He seemed to be afraid that Romance wouldn't understand it, so he added something specifically.
But the merchant lady looked very sensible, and she nodded her head obediently, but she stared and looked around curiously, as if she felt a little instinctively excited about this environment.
The two stowaways in the forest did not speak, but it does not mean that the people outside would think that the sound they heard before was an illusion. The riders glanced at each other and shouted loudly: "People inside, don't hide anymore, come out. , We have seen you!"
They took off the hand guns under the saddle, and compared them with each other: "If we don't come out, we will attack."
Little Roman immediately turned her gaze to the old dwarf. Although she looked a little confused, she had experienced several battles with Brando at any rate, and understood that the knights were not intimidating by empty words.
She asked Oldham with a very interesting look—what should I do next
But the old dwarf didn’t have time to answer the merchant’s question. When he heard that the other party was about to shoot, he immediately stood up from the bushes with a bang, raised his hand nervously and said loudly, “Captain Madel! It’s me. , Don't shoot!"
The rider who raised his hand was stunned for a moment, but immediately relaxed: "Oldham, it turns out that it is you old fellow, you sneaked in again, but it just so happened—Master Aukins is looking for you," he watched. Looking at Roman, he asked with some doubts: "Who is that?"
"... It's a relative of me." No matter how thick the old dwarf's face is, he can't hold it anymore, but he didn't expect to meet this group of people: "Why did Okins look for me?"
"Relatives?" The cavalry immediately showed an expression of'we understand' on their faces, and they laughed: "I didn't expect you to have an illegitimate girl outside, old fellow," but the leading knight quickly interrupted them and replied. Said: "There was a big mess in the mining area, and Master Kuran also went in. Master Aukins asked you naturally because only you can help him—"
When the riders mentioned the clerk, they obviously didn't have much respect.
Oldham snorted from his nose. The golden dwarves and alpine dwarves are the best miners in the world (except for the inhabitants of the underground world of course). They grew up among the golden dwarf tribe and have a deeper relationship with the alpine dwarves. He was the source, but in a very short time, he completely figured out the situation in the Shavlund mine.
He did this to better realize his plan, but he didn’t expect that he was right. His reputation was quickly inquired by the sissy clerk—this incident helped him a lot. Since then, he has been in this mining area. Get a fairly good position.
Needless to say, the convenience brought by this position, and it can be seen that Oldham still likes this kind of convenience.
"What's the situation in the mining area?"
"It seems that someone dug through the lower level again, and another monster ran out and injured someone. But thanks to Martha, it is not my turn to be on duty in the mining area today—" The cavalry captain obviously didn't have the consciousness of a soldier, so he relaxed. He said in one breath: "Later, as you can see, there was another earthquake, and it was really messed up inside."
The words of someone digging through the lower layer made the old dwarf's heart beat, but the monster's message made him frown: "Earthquake?" He asked, "So how about the preservation of the underground passage? A4, A12 and B3. There are no problems with the emergency passages, right? How is the elevator working over there?"
Oldham was familiar with the Shavlund mine as familiar with his own palmprints. He immediately sorted out the several passages leading to the fifth floor and possibly the least likely to be damaged in the earthquake.
"That's not clear." Mader shook his head: "I don't dare to go inside now, you can ask yourself. But old man, you don't really want to go in, you have to think carefully, but the following is There are monsters, you don't need to serve that'Master Aukins' like this?"
"Humph, what do you know." The old dwarf replied angrily.
"Of course I don't understand. I wish you would burp sooner, old man," he glanced at Roman behind. "But don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of your illegitimate daughter then."
"Get out!" Oldham shouted furiously.
The cavalry immediately joked and walked away.
The old dwarf turned his head back hum, but he couldn't hold his old face right away, because he saw that the merchant lady was looking at him with an inexplicable, curious and smiling expression.
"Actually, it's nothing, grandpa," Little Roman nodded earnestly: "Romain understands that Roman can't laugh at anything!"
Oldham petrified immediately, feeling that his fame was ruined.
…
Brando and Medissa slowly fell back to the sand in the center of the arena. As they descended, the young man whispered to the silver elf girl who was standing next to him:
"The next step should be a field battle. In a field battle, one side chooses the venue and the rules, so you must listen to the rules clearly in the future. If you violate the rules, you will be sentenced to leave the field."
Medissa lowered her head to listen carefully, then she nodded quietly and asked softly: "Lord, what should Medissa do?"
"Don't worry too much, the rules will not be very complicated, and most of them are mandatory. I'm just here as a reminder."
The silver elf girl raised her head to look at her summoner, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her pale silver eyes: "Lord, you are the most knowledgeable person Metis has ever seen." She used a kind of elf-specific sparseness. Attitude, Xiao praised.
Brando was startled.
"Knowledge of the Dark Tower Wizard is inherited from the Silver Union Bougainvillea." He thought for a moment, and explained with a deliberately downplayed attitude.
Medissa smiled at him slightly and nodded. She originally thought that the young lord would not explain, but Brando's attitude gave her an unexpected surprise and also explained the doubts in her heart.
If Brando's knowledge is passed on to those craftsmen and wizards who claim to have all the documents in the world, then everything he knows is not so strange.
Silver elves are the descendants of silver, but so are the craftsmen and wizards.
The two fell back to the ground, and everyone's eyes remained on them. But Brando saw Kuran on one side running towards him. The old man ran a few steps and was blocked by an invisible air wall, so he stood outside the wall and shouted to this side:
"Boy!"
Brando raised his eyebrows slightly and looked in that direction.
