lord and his dragon

The curse of the orcs is that they cannot catch their prey. It is not like the elves that only show their influence when they live together as a whole, but it is aimed at every orc. During the time of rushing, Weiss only needs to be with Linnai When hunting, there is absolutely no sign of any prey. After a hungry meal, they only let Linnai watch the fire. After Weiss and Abel went out with Negrim to find food, they distributed it to him eat.

And the appearance of the third carnivore finally convinced Negrim that there was a problem with Weiss' appetite. Linnai was twice as big as Weiss, but his food intake was only one-fifth of his. Si himself didn't think there was any problem at all, and even persuaded Linnai to eat more. When Negrim asked, he replied that he and his teacher had always eaten so much. This is a normal thing, nothing So strange.

Negrim: "..."

At least Negrim has only met two people who can eat so far, one is Abel, and the other is the chief guard Alan who has been away from Harlan Town for more than a year-it can't be such a coincidence, can it?

Before Negrim could think of a way to talk, they had already successfully arrived near the territory of the dwarves under the leadership of Lin Nai.

Just like what Sigma said to Negrim at the beginning, the place where the dwarves live can no longer be called a forest. The green vegetation here is sparse, and there are large areas of exposed rocky land. The ground scorched everyone, and Negrim would rather walk slowly with a limp than stay on Abel's back. Sigma, who was familiar with the climate in the forest, was even more uncomfortable from the sun, and kept cold a face.

The bad environment is not just because of the weather. The smell here is also very bad. There is a strong and pungent metal smell in the air. From the top to the bottom, you can see the houses that the dwarves made for themselves, which are several times smaller than the human houses. The larger but more solid buildings are piled together in a messy manner, forming a dwarf city of amazing scale while making people dizzy. As Sigma described it, it is dirty and messy, covered in black on the ground where dwarves often walk. Huhu, I can't even see what the dirt is.

The dwarves are not sensitive to the smell of strangers, so in order to avoid being directly stunned by the smell, they are lying on the upper wind of the dwarf city and looking down. Negrim seems a little listless because of the dangerous environment here. He didn't want to stick with Abel, so the only elf with a low body temperature had to take care of him a little more, handed him water, and wiped his forehead with crushed leaves that gave off a fresh smell.

Negrim barely regained some energy, ignored Abel's staring gaze at him, and carefully observed the dwarves in the city.

There seemed to be nothing unusual about them, all of them shuttled back and forth on the road in a busy and undisturbed rhythm, and they seemed to be in good order.

Negrim also expressed his thoughts, but he didn't expect that the first person who opposed him was not Linnai who had a certain understanding of the dwarves, but Sigma.

"In fact, there is already a big abnormality here!" Sigma said firmly.

Negrim froze for a moment, then said, "How?"

Sigma took a look at Negrim and said, "I've been to the dwarves before, and the situation here was much worse than it is now. They cut down trees and burned them, and there was smoke and ding-ding-dong-dong everywhere. The noise of beating pig iron, the surrounding temperature is much higher than normal, almost drying me out instantly."

But now, although the dwarves were busy walking around, none of the furnaces were actually burning, and they stopped forging weapons. This is by no means something that the dwarves can do under normal circumstances!

Negrim was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was true. There was no fire in the dwarves' city, and this was probably the curse they received. Just like the other three races lost what was most important to them, the dwarves also lost Almost something they believed in - they had no fire to forge weapons.

When Sigma heard Negrim's speculation, he couldn't help showing a complicated expression on his face: "If the four curses don't have to be lifted at the same time, I hope they will continue like this."

The elves who love nature even think that this is something that can be called justice by the curser.

However, Negrim's perspective is different from that of the elves. The dwarves are actually the race that is most suitable for dealing with humans. Compared with the other three races that are more inclined to natural life, they and humans are actually more likely to meet each other's needs.

But such words must not be said in front of elves who have always been proud. They don't like dwarves in the first place. When they hear this, they will stubbornly think that humans think they are inferior to dwarves, and they will be even more unwilling to fight with dwarves at that time. Humans are connected.

Negrim could only say at the moment: "The dwarves are also residents living in the marginal forest."

Sure enough, Sigma snorted coldly after hearing this, but didn't say anything more.

Weiss is also a human being, so he naturally doesn't think it's a problem for dwarves to burn wood. Compared with this, he is more interested in the weapons forged by dwarves. He has been lying here for a while and has already thought about how several dwarves will choose weapons if they repay their favor. At this moment, he said excitedly: "They must be very anxious if they can't fire. Shall we go straight down and tell them about lifting the curse?"

Hearing this, Sigma snorted, and said, "I don't have a good relationship with them anyway, and I'm sure I'll be taken as someone who finds fault."

Negrim looked at Linnaeus.

"We do have some contacts with the dwarves," Linnai said. Their orcs occasionally buy weapons from the dwarves, and Linnai happens to be responsible for them: "But I don't suggest that we just go to say hello to them."

Hearing this, Weiss sighed complainingly, and said, "Why?"

Lin Nai glanced at Negrim and said, "The dwarves are very irritable, and they are usually very difficult to communicate. Now that something like this has happened, they must be full of anger and won't have the patience to listen to us , I will definitely do it when I come up."

Negrim could not help but give Linnai a strange look when he heard the comment of "Come up and do it".

I'm afraid it's not about you orcs yourself!

Lin Nai was obviously also a little embarrassed, scratched his long mouth with his fluffy paws, and said: "Our orc fights are different from their fights. We just want to talk after we separate our status. The dwarves are a bunch of lunatics. They fight Winning or losing won't stop, I just want to vent my anger."

Sigma didn't like orcs very much at first, but when he heard Linnai say bad things about dwarves, he stood on the same front with him in an instant, and said, "I've said it all, dwarves are synonymous with barbarism! Unreasonable!"

After finishing speaking, he added angrily: "How can there be such a race that burns trees for fun in the world!"

It was probably the first time that Linnai was approved by the elves, and it was even the first time that he saw the adjective "barbaric" being applied to other races. He couldn't help but follow Sigma to speak ill of the dwarves. The two styles are completely different. The two humans, Negrim and Weiss, were amazed at the way the race of the two races fought against each other.

Although before this, all the residents of the marginal forest should be human beings.

Negrim and Weiss watched the play with relish, but ignored the feelings of the other person present.

Abel, who had been lying on the side, suddenly said coldly: "Shut up, don't waste time, sneak in to see their situation, and find a way to communicate with them after confirming the attitude of the dwarves towards this curse."

Everyone present clearly knew that Abel was the peak of the pyramid of force in this team. When he spoke, not only Linnaeus, but even Sigma subconsciously fell silent, but Negrim couldn't help but frowned and looked at Abel. Bull glanced.

Abel is a slave of Negrim. From Negrim's point of view, Abel only needs to obey his orders, and this is indeed the case. Abel has always listened to Negrim's words and never expressed himself. opinions, not to mention giving orders to other people like he is now-but when he actually did this thing, it seemed so natural.

Negrim was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, but said lightly: "Let's do it this way, it's already afternoon, after dark, the dwarves without fire can only rest, we can take this opportunity Go in and have a look."

Negrim and Abel proposed the same plan, and everyone had to be obedient. Sigma and Linnai didn't dare to say more, and Weiss also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, as quiet as a chick .

The five people moved to a nearby grove to rest for a while, waiting for the night to come.

When they found a place to settle down, Abel sensitively sensed that Negrim was dissatisfied with him, and he realized his transgression after a short memory.

He didn't do it on purpose at that time, the weather was hot, and he was already depressed because Negrim was alienating him, and he watched his master accepting the care of others, and his heart was filled with depression. The voices of Sigma and Linnai It only made people feel irritable to him, and he couldn't help opening his mouth for some reason.

But it was his fault, he was a slave of Negrim, and he couldn't speak before his master, and his master was really upset because he made his own way, which made Abel feel uneasy, if it wasn't marginal Forest, he must have begun to fear that Negrim would lose him again.

But it didn't matter, this was the marginal forest, if Negrim left him, he would not be able to return to the castle with his own strength.

Such thoughts made Abel feel at ease, but after realizing what he was thinking, Abel couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

After he entered the marginal forest, he really changed a lot because his master could only rely on himself.

Abel didn't dare to think too much, and quickly calmed down, trying to get closer to Negrim.

He didn't hide his movements, so he was quickly spotted by Negrim. Abel thought that Negrim would refuse his approach, but he didn't expect that Negrim just frowned and didn't move.

Abel breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly sat beside Negrim, and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel cold? I can hold you to rest."

Negrim didn't speak, but sat on Abel's tentatively stretched out hand—there wasn't much sunlight in the woods, and as the sky gradually darkened, the temperature also dropped.

Abel didn't relax the tight string in his heart until he really hugged Negrim. He exhaled lightly, slightly tightened his hands around Negrim, and brought the tip of his nose close to Negrim. He walked beside Mu, sniffed his scent gently, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Lord...I, I'm so sorry."

Negrim could hear his nervousness, and after hesitating for a moment, he still raised his hand, touched his face, and said coldly, "Don't do it again."

As if Abel was granted amnesty, he quickly said, "Yes!"
