Lu Xidong's first thought was that Rolf had betrayed people like him because he knew people but not hearts. Dorum had made a mistake in judging his childhood playmate.
Instinctively, Lu Xidong and the goblins took out the wooden sticks they carried with them. The original weapons had been taken away by the dwarf guard. These were just temporary self-defense weapons brought from the tavern. They were common but practical, coupled with their own strength. , can smash the enemy's head with one stick.
The sudden tense atmosphere made the three Grote brothers seem a little overwhelmed. Their hearing was not as good as that of Lu Xidong, who was a demon. It was not until they saw many torches appearing at the entrance of the cemetery that they realized that they had been surrounded. .
"Rolfe, what's going on? Did you do it?" Dorum had no scruples at the moment, so he pulled his neck and shouted.
"How is it possible? Did you betray me? Dorum."
In the light of the torch, Rolf was carrying a canvas tool bag. He clenched the strap uneasily with both hands. He looked at the direction of Lu Xidong and the others, and then at the place where the torch came from. For a moment, he didn't know where to go. Wherever he went, it was as if he was surrounded.
Maybe it's true. Smugglers and fugitives are all criminals who violate the wishes of the dwarf king, and they are all prey that comers want to catch.
"Hey, look who this is? Lord Grote, how come you got together with the demons who disturb the public order? Oh, and there is also a smuggler."
In the firelight, a sharp male voice came, with an annoying and teasing tone.
"Finance Minister Boruote?" Dorum heard the other party's voice. Magni and Mild also put on expressions of disgust, and seemed to have deep grudges with the visitor.
"Oh, you are worthy of being the Minister of Resources." A white dwarf in a brocade robe took a few steps forward from the crowd, barely showing off his figure. "If you want to travel far, why don't you notify me next time?" , I’m really not a friend enough.”
friend? Lu Xidong turned around and looked at the faces of the dwarf brothers. No matter how he looked at them, they didn't seem to have good intentions.
"You bastard raised by XX, you have already made it difficult for us to return home, what else do you want?" Magni was indeed very bad-tempered, blowing his beard while yelling curses.
So that’s it, this guy is the bad guy who framed the three Grote brothers. Do you need to ask what the other person wants to do at this time? Of course, they were all killed.
Sure enough, I heard this nervous Boruote laughing loudly, as if he were a victor, teasing: "Of course I am here as a friend to see you off."
The word "hit the road" was emphasized by Boruote. As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people behind him rushed forward, blocking the proud Boruote behind him.
"Smelly demon, let's see who can save you this time."
The first person cursed fiercely, and at the same time he pulled out his sword, picked up his shield, and fiercely approached Lu Xidong and the others. It was obvious that the other party had no intention of showing mercy to him. Lu Xidong was wondering where the other party's such strong hatred came from. Coming, the moonlight shone on the other person's face.
Damn, we are really on the wrong road.
Lu Xidong also secretly sighed in his heart. It turned out to be the guarding warrior outside the gate of Zenda City. It turned out that the blackmailers were the finance ministers employed by the Free City. No wonder even the dwarf guards did not dare to offend them.
Now that the other party has added manpower, it seems that these people were originally Boruote's subordinates, performing various shady tasks for him. At this moment, they were gathered to deal with the employer's thorn in the side.
Except for the bodyguard responsible for protecting Boruote who did not move, Lu Xidong counted and found that there were nearly twenty people approaching from the other side, led by shield-wielding warriors who were good at holding steady.
Based on the lesson learned last time, Lu Xidong had already told Silva and the others to stay close to him and try to fight enemies approaching from all directions back to back, so that at least they would not be left alone.
The Grote brothers were both craftsmen and weak in fighting ability. They were protected by Lu Xidong and the others, their faces full of fear.
The adventurers hired by Boruote were getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the dwarf cemetery was getting more and more solemn. Amidst the tense situation, Lu Xidong seemed to be breathing louder, and his rapid breathing revealed his nervousness. Emotions.
"drink!"
Lu Xidong shouted loudly using the "Coercion" skill. Unfortunately, this skill was somewhat effective against timid monsters. Against a sane human race, it just frightened the opponent.
The guardian warrior was just about to laugh at the fussing demon, but suddenly there was a crisp sound in front of him, and then a thick reddish-brown smoke surged up, covering up the figure of the enemy in front of him.
Is it a smoke bomb or a gas bomb
Not sure whether the smoke in front of him was toxic or not, the guard warrior was shocked and immediately covered his mouth and nose, and waved his hands to stop his companions from advancing. At the same time, he had to be careful of the other party's sneak attack, and the attack was suspended.
This is the free trade city of the dwarves. The dwarves' dexterous hands have made all kinds of props, mixing substances that can produce different gases. They are a kind of self-defense thing made by the dwarves, which can be seen everywhere.
For a smuggler, it is a must-have to evade capture and turn around. It turned out that Rolf, who was ignored by both parties, dropped the smoke bomb. He then grabbed the Grote brothers and ran away. road.
Lu Xidong and the others also followed. Now that I think about it, it's not like Rolf betrayed everyone, otherwise he wouldn't have to save people. He could just wait to receive the reward. The three Grote brothers are in Zenda City It's worthless.
"Rolf, you fool, you are actually being followed." Magni complained. Rolf smiled vaguely, but was embarrassed to answer.
Maybe he was discovered by the blackmailer hired by Boruote during the meeting? Lu Xidong guessed that if this was the case, he would have caused Rolf to be misunderstood.
The dwarf cemetery is very large, because the Zenda dwarves of all generations are buried here. A path winds inwards, as if there is no end, but there will be a limit after all.
Originally there was only one exit to the south of the city in the entire cemetery, but it was blocked by Boruote's people. Lu Xidong and his party had no way out, but Rolf was still leading them inward, walking further and further through the surrounding rocks. The wall is narrower.
Noisy voices appeared on the path behind them, and a smoke bomb was not enough to delay the opponent's pursuit. Under the light of the torch, the footprints of Lu Xidong and the Goblin were particularly conspicuous here.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the yelling and cursing behind him became clearer and clearer, and the opponent was getting closer. Seeing that it was a situation of chasing a turtle in a jar, Lu Xidong was a little panicked.
"Where are we going?"
"Tianqi Mountain Road!" Rolf's short legs kept moving, and he didn't even look back. He tried hard to identify the tombstones on the roadside and answered Lu Xidong's question.
According to Dorum's explanation, the Tiancha Mountain Road is a bottomless pit in the dwarf cemetery. The steep angle is close to vertical. No one has ever dared to climb down to find out.
It seemed that this mountain road was Rolf's secret passage. Lu Xidong turned around and looked at the distance of the fire. He could see the faces of Boruote's people clearly. He didn't have much time left for himself.
At this moment, Rolf's surprised voice came, "Found it!"
Whoosh~
At the same time, a sharp human arrow whizzed past Lu Xidong's ear. He and his group had already entered the opponent's shooting range and would soon be surrounded again.
Rolf pulled aside the hay that was used as a cover, revealing the entrance to the dark cave of Tianqian Mountain Road. Lu Xidong took a look inside and found that it was indeed bottomless and filled with cold air.
Another arrow flew, but was dodged.
Rolf had already tied the rope on his back tightly to the hidden stone pillar and was waiting for everyone to climb down the rope. However, there was not enough time for everyone to escape safely. The roar of the guardian warrior was already close at hand. .
Dorum suddenly took out a bunch of small pulleys and put them on the rope. "Everyone can use this to slide down in an instant, and they can stop at any time to ensure safety."
As he spoke, he explained the use of the compression pulley to everyone, and then demonstrated it again before disappearing into the mountain road with a bang...
It seems that Dorum was preparing this gadget during the day.
As Dorum slid down, followed by Magni, Mild, and Rolf, Lucidong looked at the trembling goblins, kicked them down one by one, and finally gritted his teeth. It also slid down...
Three minutes later, the mercenaries who rushed forward could only stare at the dark entrance of the cave in a daze, and no one dared to try to climb down.
In this way, Lu Xidong and his party, together with four dwarves, embarked on their way home without any danger...
