"Ouch —!"
The young girl's cry of pain came from the dark tunnel. The dwarf, who had just climbed out of the tunnel, had no choice but to turn his head back. He saw Little Roman holding her forehead with both hands and walking out from below with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" The dwarf slapped the merchant girl's left hand away and saw that there was a red patch on the young Roman's forehead. He glared at her and said: "Why did you bump into it again? Didn't I tell you before? This tunnel is specially dug for me, so of course it's shorter than yours. "Odum grumbled unwillingly:" That's why you have to be careful when you go in and out! "
"But you didn't say anything after that!" The young Roman held her head and frowned as she muttered.
"You don't have to keep reminding me, little girl!" The dwarf sighed and pulled her out of the tunnel: "Alright, how is it? Does it still hurt, little one?"
"Of course it hurts!" She replied without hesitation.
"You have to bear with it even if it hurts. We dwarves won't make a sound even if we bump into a metal plate." Odum stood on the slope and looked down. It was the path into the mine: "Alright, we're here. Quickly put on your scarf!"
But the Roman was more interested in the first part of the dwarf's sentence: "Really?" She widened her eyes: "Won't make a sound even if we bump into a metal plate … That?"
"Of course," The dwarf suddenly saw the disbelief on her face and glared at her: "What a joke! Little girl, a dwarf of my age has a beard that's longer than your hair. Do you think I'll lie to you?! "
But he immediately opened his mouth when he saw the young Roman rummaging through her backpack with interest before taking out a black object.
"What's this?" Odum asked curiously.
"It's a metal plate!"
"Why?"
"Why don't you give it a try?" The merchant girl asked curiously.
"Tsk, why would a dwarf like me do something so boring!" The dwarf's expression changed: "Come to think of it, little girl, why do you have this in your backpack!"
However, his expression immediately became strange.
Romaine tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. She placed a finger on her cheek and said, "Shame on you, you're bragging! Auntie really didn't lie to the Roman. She said that dwarves love to brag! "
"Who said that!" Odum flew into a rage and waved his fist, but he suddenly remembered that she was just a girl. As a dwarf of his age, he did not want to argue with the aunt of a little girl. In the end, he coughed and said, "Ahem, who told you that? Let me tell you, little one. Only witches would say that!"
Odum did not know that his words had come true, but after thinking about it, he decided to maintain his dignity: "The reason why I didn't try is because there's no need to. Do you know that this is a mining area? We're sneaking in here. It'll be bad if we make any noise and get discovered! "
"Really?"
"Of course! Little guy, do you think an old man like me would lie to you? I'm different from those cunning humans! "
But before he could finish, he heard a low shout from outside the forest.
"Who's in there?"
Odum's words were stuck in his throat. He turned his head stiffly and saw that there was a group of patrolling cavalry on the road outside the forest. His conversation with the Roman was too loud and they were obviously discovered.
"Oh no." Odum frowned and put his stubby finger to his lips and made a 'shh' gesture to the Roman: "Don't make a sound."
He seemed to be afraid that the little Roman would not understand and added another sentence.
But the merchant girl seemed to understand, and she nodded obediently. She looked around curiously, as if she was a little excited by the environment.
The two stowaways in the forest did not say anything, but that did not mean that the people outside thought that the noise they heard was an illusion. The riders looked at each other and shouted: "The people inside, don't hide anymore. Come out, we've already seen you!"
They took off their guns and pointed inside: "If you don't come out, we're going to attack."
The little Roman immediately looked at the old dwarf. Although she looked a little dazed, she had been through a few battles with Brando and knew that the Knights were not just trying to scare her.
She looked at Odum with an interesting gaze. 'What should we do next?'
But the old dwarf did not have the time to answer Romaine's question. When he heard that the enemy was about to shoot, he immediately stood up from the bushes and raised his hand nervously. "Captain Marder! It's me, don't fire! "
The rider who raised his gun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately relaxed: "Odum, so it's you, old man. You sneaked in again. But just in time, Sir Perkins is looking for you," he looked at the Roman and asked curiously: "Who is that?"
"… … It's a relative of mine." No matter how thick-skinned the old dwarf was, he could not hold it in anymore. But he did not expect to meet these people: "Why is Perkins looking for me?"
"Relative?" The riders immediately had a 'we understand' expression and laughed: "I didn't expect you to have an illegitimate daughter outside, old man." But the leader of the Knights quickly interrupted them: "There's a big mess in the mines, and Sir Kodan is also in there. Sir Perkins is looking for you because you're the only one who can help him."
When the riders mentioned the clerk, it was obvious that they did not have much respect for him.
Odum snorted. The Golden Dwarves and Alpine Dwarves were the best miners in the world (apart from the residents of the Underworld, of course). As someone who grew up among the Golden Dwarves and had a deep relationship with the Alpine Dwarves, he was able to understand the situation in the Schafflund Mines in a short period of time.
He did this in order to better realize his plan, but he did not expect that by a stroke of luck, his reputation would soon be discovered by the sissy clerk. This matter actually helped him a lot, and from then on, he obtained a fairly good position in the mining area.
There was no need to explain the convenience that came with this position, and it was obvious that Odum liked it.
"What's the situation in the mines?"
"It seems like someone dug through the lower levels, and monsters came out and injured people. But thanks to Martha, it's not my turn to be on duty today. "The leader of the riders clearly did not have the self-awareness of a soldier, and he sighed in relief:" As you can see, there's an earthquake, and it's a mess inside. "
Odum's heart skipped a beat when he heard that someone had dug through the lower levels, but he frowned when he heard about the monsters: "Earthquake?" He asked: "Then how are the tunnels that lead to the underground? Are there any problems with A4, A12, and B3? How's the work of the lift there? "
Odum was familiar with the Schafflund Mines like he was with his own fingerprints, and he immediately sorted out the tunnels that led to the fifth level and were the least likely to be damaged by the earthquake.
"I'm not sure about that," Mardel shook his head: "I don't dare to go in now, so you can ask around yourself. But old man, you're not really going in, are you? You have to think about it carefully. There are monsters down there, and you don't have to risk your life for that 'Lord Perkins', do you? "
"Hmph, what do you know?" Odum replied in annoyance.
"Of course I don't. I can't wait for you to die, old man," he glanced at the Roman behind him: "But don't worry, I'll definitely take care of your illegitimate daughter when the time comes."
"Scram!" Odum shouted angrily.
The cavalrymen immediately walked away, laughing and laughing.
The old dwarf groaned as he turned his head, but his face immediately crumbled when he saw the merchant girl looking at him with an inexplicable expression that was a mixture of curiosity and amusement.
"It's nothing, old grandpa," the young Roman nodded seriously: "Romans understand, Romans won't laugh at anything!"
Odum was petrified, feeling that his reputation had been destroyed.
… …
Brendel and Medissa slowly landed on the sandy ground in the middle of the arena. As they descended, Brendel whispered to the Silver Elf girl beside him who was walking side by side, "Don't worry.
"Next should be the arena battle. In the arena battle, one side will choose the arena and the rules, so you have to listen to the rules clearly. If you break the rules, you'll be kicked out. "
Metisha lowered her head and listened carefully. She then nodded and asked softly: "My lord, what should Metisha do?"
"Don't worry too much. The rules won't be complicated, and most of them are mandatory. I'm just giving you a reminder."
The Silver Elf girl looked up at her summoner with a hint of curiosity in her pale silver eyes: "My lord, you're the most knowledgeable person this Metisha has ever met." She used an Elf's unique attitude and praised him softly.
Brando was stunned.
"The knowledge of the Black Tower's wizards comes from Buga of the Silver Alliance." He thought for a moment and explained in a casual manner.
Metisha smiled at him and nodded. She thought that the young lord would not explain, but Brando's attitude gave her a pleasant surprise and explained the doubts in her heart.
If Brando's knowledge came from the Artisan Wizards who claimed to have all the knowledge in the world, then everything he knew would not be so strange.
The Silver Elves were descendants of the Silver Race, but so were the Artisan Wizards.
When the two landed on the ground, everyone's eyes were fixed on them. Brando saw Kodan running towards him from the side. The old man ran a few steps before he was stopped by an invisible wall of air. He stood outside the wall and shouted:
"Kid!"
Brando raised his eyebrows and looked in that direction.
