It took Odum quite a bit of effort to catch the little girl who was dangling in the air. Odum's face was stern and his thick eyebrows were almost knitted together. He kept grumbling that she was too daring and didn't care about the danger at all, and that she had caused a lot of trouble and trouble for an old man like him.
But in the end, Odum still asked: "Little one, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Ah!"
Descending from midair, Little Roman patted his chest the moment his feet touched the ground. He exhaled deeply and said happily, "That's right.
"That was really dangerous!"
However, there was no trace of danger on her face. Instead, her little face was flushed red, and she had an excited expression on her face.
Odum glanced at her and thought to himself, 'So you know that it was dangerous.' However, his next words were stuck in his throat as he heard Romaine say excitedly, "How interesting!"
Odum's expression turned serious when he heard that and lectured her: "Little girl, it's not good to think that way. It's too dangerous! If I didn't come over, wouldn't you have been injured? "
"Old man, you came over." The Roman replied as if it was a matter of fact.
Odum scratched his head and thought that there was something wrong with that statement. So he continued to persuade her: "That's just in case. There's also what if, isn't there? Besides, little girl, what you're doing is causing a lot of trouble for an old man like me. Let's not talk about how you're delaying this old man's drinking time — "
"My aunt says it's not good for your health to drink too much!" The merchant girl took the opportunity to interject.
The old dwarf suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why was this little girl's way of thinking so different from ordinary people? He began to wonder if it was a wise decision to save this little girl. Perhaps he should have pretended that he did not see anything and went back to drinking his wine.
No, perhaps he should not have even raised his head.
Odum was a little annoyed and quickly waved his hand: "That's not what we're talking about. Besides, a Dwarf who doesn't drink can't be called a Dwarf! Little guy, your aunt … "The old dwarf thought for a moment and felt that it was not honorable to speak ill of someone behind their back, not to mention that the other party was a woman.
So he changed his tune and said, "Anyway, one thing is another. You see, a normal person wouldn't swing around in the alley behind the inn while holding the bedsheets, right?" The old dwarf instructed. However, he subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with his words.
But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find where the problem was. He could only shake his head and throw this strange thought away. But in his heart, he secretly thought that the good time of drinking in the afternoon seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
Because the little girl had started chattering again.
However, Odum did not realize that he had been diverted to her way of thinking, and it was up to her to use her rich experience to defeat the old dwarf.
Roman thought for a while and nodded. "You're right." But she frowned her pretty little eyebrows. "But Roman has no choice. I'm also in a hurry to go to the mines!"
The old dwarf was stunned.
"Why are you going to the mines?" He asked: "Women aren't allowed to enter the mines."
"Because the person Roman likes is in the mines. There's an earthquake in the mines, and the Roman is very anxious." She looked at the dwarf and suddenly blinked. "Oh right! Old man, can you bring Roman to the mines? "
"You don't know the way?" Odum's little eyes were wide open.
"I think so." She didn't seem to realize that this was a serious problem.
It was obvious that she had once again committed the mistake of acting first and thinking later. Before she was ready to do this, she had already forgotten all the embarrassing things that had happened to her when she was young.
There's a saying that a person can't make the same mistake twice in a lifetime, but our Merchant Lady clearly had the ability to make two identical mistakes in a variety of ways.
But this time, Odum laughed. Of course, it was more accurate to say that the old dwarf was laughing out loud. He laughed heartily, laughing so hard that he almost fell down. As he laughed, he mumbled, "How interesting, how interesting! This is the first time I've heard of such a reckless plan. Even the most reckless mountain dwarves can't do this, little girl! Even the clumsy beastmen have to plan thoroughly before they hunt! "
The Roman agreed: "Because the beastmen have a saying, 'Uim Aus Nemont!'" She stuttered as she read out the saying: "It means that a smart hunter might not be smart!"
"That's just a beast's cunning." The old dwarf immediately shook his head: "No, who taught you that?"
"It was my aunt."
"No, no!" Odum felt that he had been tricked: "What I mean is, these two things don't match at all! We're saying that a person shouldn't be too rash, and it has nothing to do with beastmen being smart — "He stroked his beard and suddenly frowned:" Wait, what did you just say? There's an earthquake in the mines? "
"Yes."
"Why didn't I know about it?"
The Roman looked at him with her big eyes.
The old dwarf immediately realized that he had asked a silly question. But if the earthquake happened an hour ago, he should have been taking a nap then.
In fact, Odum should have been in the mines, but he had missed the time to enter the mines because he was drunk. It was not the first time, but the old dwarf had helped the clerk of the mines solve some personal problems and won the young noble's trust. As for whether he had to work in the mines or not, the young noble did not care.
There was no problem with having one more person or one less person in the mines.
That was why Odum was too lazy to go to the mines and came to the 'Trout in the Forest' for a drink. That was his goal as a dwarf.
However, the little girl's words had piqued his interest. The old dwarf had always known that there was a secret hidden in the mines, and he had come here to wait for an opportunity after he found out about it.
But what disappointed him was that ever since the workers of Schafflund Mine dug through the tunnels that led to the Great Beehive and caused an accident, the tunnels no longer extended downwards, and the secret hidden in the Grahar Mountains could only stay there quietly.
Although the old dwarf had asked Perkins more than once if he could reopen the fifth level of mining, it was always put on hold due to safety concerns. The young clerk wasn't worried about the safety of the workers, but rather, he didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.
But as time passed, Odum gradually became disheartened after coming to Schafflund for a few years.
But at this time, his heart was moved again.
The old dwarf muttered in his heart and looked at the little girl: "Alright, alright, I'll bring you to the mines, but let me say this first —"
"I understand!" Little Roman replied in an extremely straightforward manner, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
"But I'm not done yet!"
"Yes! But I'll give the same answer no matter what you say, old man! So it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later! "
"You're a frank one … …" The old dwarf sighed: "But you're quite likable."
Looking at the little Roman girl, Odum could not help but think of the lively little girls back in his hometown. He grew up among the Golden Dwarves when he was young, and although his hometown was not as novel and varied as the humans, and they did not have excellent wine-making techniques, the Dwarven girls were much more lively than the human girls.
But this little girl made his eyes light up. Although he had a headache, she was to his liking.
Of course, she was to his liking, but the old dwarf knew that if he let her do as she pleased, she would cause a lot of trouble for him.
So he said as he walked: "In any case, the three rules are very important. Do you understand, little girl?"
The little Roman nodded respectfully, but she immediately had a new question: "But didn't you say that women can't enter the mines?"
"Don't interrupt, little girl!" Odum frowned. He obviously could not bring the Roman into the mines openly. In fact, even he could not enter the mines himself. But it did not matter. He had prepared for a long time for this plan, and some of the arrangements he had made beforehand could be put to good use.
He had dug a secret tunnel outside the mines that led to the mines. Since he was the supervisor of the mines, no one would suspect anything if they bumped into him.
As for the little girl, it was a little troublesome, but it was just a matter of putting on makeup.
"Yes," Romaine followed up and asked: "But old man, are the Mountain Dwarves all so rash? Old man, are you a Mountain Dwarf as well? "
"Of course I'm not a Mountain Dwarf. Those rash fellows have nothing to do with me. I'm … …" The short and fat dwarf suddenly stopped and coughed heavily.
"Don't interrupt!"
"Oh!"
… …
The battle underground had come to an end. When the last Rock Beast was reduced to pieces, Brando found a few corpses of miners at the end of the tunnel. After the man identified them, he realized that they were the corpses of his former companions.
After the miner who was saved by Brando saw the young man's strength, he was determined to follow them. Even when Brando advised him to hide in the safer third level of the mine, the latter shook his head and refused.
He felt that it was much safer to follow the two of them.
