lord and his dragon

What Weiss said was not entirely unreasonable.

The dwarf king drank too much wine yesterday, but he didn't know what he had done. It wasn't until the sky was bright and the dwarf city, which was indistinguishable from the ruins, came into his eyes, that he realized clearly that he was in the dwarf's home last night. What havoc has been done.

In fact, he was secretly glad that the big bat came last night, otherwise he would have been cast angrily by all the dwarves today.

But even so, he still had to curse yesterday's intruder loudly when helping other dwarves rebuild their houses, in order to hide his guilt...

The relationship among dwarves is not as clear as elves and orcs. Although the dwarf king is a king, he is only a relatively powerful dwarf. He will take the lead when making certain decisions. He gets along with ordinary dwarves. The way of getting along is actually no different from the normal way of getting along with dwarves.

So from time to time, dwarves whose houses were destroyed still came to scold him, and the dwarf king who had done something wrong could only be scolded obediently, and by the way, scolded the intruder last night.

Because there is no fire, the dwarves have no way to cast suitable parts, nor can they burn bricks, so they can only cut the wood into a suitable shape and wedge them together to temporarily support the house.

Thanks to the dwarf king and Abel, this is a big project, and the dwarves are very dedicated to it. With their single-minded character, I am afraid that they will not think of attacking other people until they completely repair their homeland. race thing.

Weiss breathed a sigh of relief, but Sigma stared at the actions of the dwarves cutting down the trees, and grumbled, "Those two trees are so close to each other, and the main branches can be made into bridges by putting dead wood on them. Why can't they live on trees if they have to cut them down?!"

Weiss glanced at the two trees Sigmar mentioned, and said speechlessly: "Only these two twigs can be used as a bridge by you elves, and the dwarves have to smash them down like iron blocks."

Hearing this, Sigma was still very dissatisfied. He really couldn't understand the fact that he liked the dwarves. He only secretly felt that even if the dwarves existed, it would be better for the forest if there were fewer people.

However, the number of dwarves is actually not much smaller than that of elves, and all of them are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Yesterday Abel actually hit some dwarves when he collapsed the house, but no one was killed or seriously injured. It's just that the head was knocked out and there was some blood. Today, I was still on the front line when repairing the house, and it was not affected at all.

Weiss and Sigma stared at the dwarves all day, took turns to rest in the middle, until it was dark, and made sure that the dwarves would not do anything in the dark, and then went back to the woods to talk to Negrim and Eyre. Boolean confluence.

Negrim had rested for a whole day, and his spirit had recovered a lot, and now he devoted part of his attention to listening to Wes and Sigma's report on the situation of the dwarves.

When the two lamented the damage Abel had caused in the dwarven city, Negrim was still a little worried about what they would find, but he was relieved after realizing that the two were not thinking of the dragon at all, and asked : "You mean, dwarves don't think about anything else as long as they have work to do?"

Sigma nodded and said: "But when it got dark, they couldn't see anything clearly, and they started to make noise when they couldn't repair the house. We went back to the dwarf city for a walk, and we could hear the dwarves complaining that there was no The sound of drinking."

Weiss added: "But they don't seem to like the dark, so they have no plans to go out when it is dark. They have already rested when we come back."

Those who had a house went into the house to sleep, and those who didn’t either squeezed with a good relationship, or lay down on the ground directly. When Weiss and Sigma left, there were dwarves lying all over the ruins.

Negrim nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, Weiss glanced at him, and said hesitantly: "Alba, you don't want to delay their actions by demolishing their houses, do you? I feel that the temper of the dwarves is not that good, and they may give up repairing it after a few more visits."

Negrim glanced at Weiss in surprise. He didn't expect the other party to think so much. He did consider the feasibility of this plan, but in the end he felt that it was unnecessary to implement it. After all, their real goal was to lift the curse. It's not just a delay, as long as the dwarves have enough time for repairs, Linnai can rush back with the reinforcements of the orcs. Unless the progress of the dwarves is too fast, there is actually no need for them to destroy the dwarf city a second time.

Negrim said his thoughts, Weiss heaved a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but look at Negrim with admiration, and said: "Alba, sometimes I really think you are very powerful and have a clear mind. Sensible, with an indescribable sense of leadership, you look like my uncle at times..."

Negrim's heart moved, and he said, "Uncle what?"

Weiss stuttered, realizing that he had almost leaked some information, so he simply cleared his throat, and changed the subject in a hurry.

Sigma didn't understand what maneuvers they were making, so he ate his own fruit, and when he finished eating, he spread out the cores and buried them, and said to the two: "I'm going to rest, wake me up in the middle of the night to keep watch. "

Weiss responded, and then found a place to lie down, and said, "Then trouble Abel in the first half of the night, call me at midnight."

Abel didn't speak, just nodded, and he held Nigrim tightly until both of them breathed evenly, so that he could rest in his arms.

Negrim lay on his chest, closed his eyes and thought to himself, Weiss is really not a simple person, he should also be a son of a certain nobleman, but he doesn't know which family it is from. After this matter is over, will there be a chance? goodbye……

Thinking about it, Negrim couldn't resist the drowsiness, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Before dawn the next day, Weiss and Sigma continued to watch the dwarves repair the house.

And the dwarves are as stubborn as the rumors say, it seems that if they don't do one thing well, they will never do the next one. The next few days are calm, and the dwarves do nothing but repair the house and curse that there is no wine. They didn't even think about it, and it was like this until the fourth day, when the dwarves finally repaired the destroyed houses and began to think about launching a war, Linnai also rushed back in time.

I have to say that Negrim was relieved. After all, if Linnaeus didn't come back, he could only send Abel to destroy it again, but he really couldn't guarantee that the dwarves would repair the house for the second time instead of simply Use battle to vent your anger.

The Beastmaster obviously attached great importance to this operation, and almost made Lin Nai pull all the drinks in the Beastman clan over with a cart. The short journey took four days because he brought too much wine and served as a coolie horse. Small orcs are exhausted.

As the supervisor, Lin Nai was in good condition, and the big tail behind him kept wagging. He saluted Negrim excitedly, and said, "I have brought all the drinks, sir... Your Excellency! The Beastmaster hopes that I can pay Negrim You express your gratitude, he wants to take back what you said when you were in the orc clan, and after this matter is over, no matter what request you make, he will carefully consider it."

Negrim twitched the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.

Obviously, the Beastmaster's temper is impossible to bow his head, but he was also obviously frightened by the news that Lin Nai brought back, otherwise his attitude would not change so quickly, and the promise of the Beastmaster's careful consideration of cooperation has actually reached the level of Nigri Tom's expectations, there is not much to ask for.

Seeing Negrim's dissatisfaction, Linnai couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and his tail gradually stopped wagging. With his current strength, he can be the Beast King's servant. Apart from having a big tail, he is of course also a rare opportunity among orcs. A guy who looks at people's faces, but of course he won't take the face of the Beastmaster for the sake of Negrim, so he has no choice but to keep silent.

Negrim didn't take the lead in looking at the wine cans on the trailer, but first took a look at the horse-shaped orcs. Most of their appearances were similar to real horses, only their hands and joints were different. His hands are not hoof-shaped, but also have five fingers, but the nails are very thick.

These horse-shaped orcs were exhausted, but their expressions were quite numb. Negrim frowned slightly. The status of herbivorous orcs in the orc clan was no different from that of slaves, but they did not have the corresponding education and training. Control, after the matter is over, it is still necessary to rectify it, so as to avoid civil strife in the future.

Negrim thought for a while, and let the horse-shaped orcs who were almost exhausted rest for a while, and when they recovered, he asked them to drag the wine to a place a little further away and hide it.

Linnai didn't know what Negrim was up to, so he had to watch from the sidelines, but after a while, he was ordered by Negrim to help. Linnai was originally unwilling to do this kind of work done by herbivorous orcs , but after seeing Abel also go to help, he could only reluctantly follow suit.

After all, that was Abel, not only the bodyguard of the Dragon Lord, but also such a powerful character, he was working, Lin Nai really had no face to be lazy.

Just when they were about to move the wine, Weiss suddenly ran back from the outside and hurriedly shouted to Negrim: "It's not good, Alba, the dwarves' project is still a little bit short of finishing, but it's ahead of schedule." I sent a small group of people out of the dwarven city, and I don't know what to do!"

Negrim was taken aback, and immediately asked, "How many dwarves are there in that team?"

Weiss replied: "Seven or eight. I ran back as soon as they came out. I didn't count them."

As soon as Negrim heard the number, he immediately thought of the reason why the dwarves did this, and said: "They have suffered from being inquired about. They have learned from us and sent the advance troops to investigate the situation of the orcs!"

Both Weiss and Linnai were taken aback, and the latter couldn't help but ask, "How can dwarves be so smart about things other than forging?"

Negrim ignored Lin Nai's words, thought for a while, and then smiled: "I was still thinking about how to get in reasonably, but now I just have a breakthrough."

Everyone looked at him curiously, but they heard Negrim say: "Abel, Weiss, when they enter the woods, you two go knock those dwarves unconscious and tie them up, and bring them here."

Abel replied yes, but Weiss was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is there anything to pay attention to? For example, do you need to wear a sack, don't reveal your identity or something..."

Negrim shook his head and said, "No, it's okay to attack from the front."

Seeing this, Lin Nai couldn't help saying: "I can help too!"

Negrim glanced at him and said, "You can't go, not only can't you go, but you also have to hide with other orcs."

Lin Nai was startled, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Is it because the dragon lord doesn't like the orcs?Lin Nai couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Negrim could see what he was thinking at a glance, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with other things, and Sigma can't appear in front of these dwarves. Only humans can be friends with them."

Lin Nai froze for a moment, and found that this was really the case, but then he couldn't help but feel a little complicated. Who would have thought that the four major races in the marginal forest would have such a day that they would not trust their neighbors who lived in the forest, but believed in the past the most The human beings who were once spurned by them.

However, after figuring out the reason, Linnai felt a little more comfortable. When he was in the castle, he was unable to formally deal with the dragon lord because of the rude customs of the orcs, but now the other party's ability is obviously more shrewd than he expected. Much more, if the marginal forest will really become a territory under his control in the future, and the four major races will become the lord's subordinates, he doesn't want the orcs to be squeezed out.

After figuring out their mission, Weiss and Abel set off immediately, and waited ahead of time in the direction where the dwarves would enter the woods. Abel also took him with him because he was worried that Negrim would stay alone. , but just put him aside and watch, to ensure that he will neither be injured by the battle nor let him out of his sight.

The dwarves who have lived in the marginal forest for a long time have actually not had conflicts with other races for a long time, let alone waged wars. Although their combat effectiveness is very strong, the so-called advance troops do not know how to listen to the news. He is considered to be an elite among the dwarves, just randomly selected people. Of course, he didn't know that he needed to worry about other people's sneak attacks at the moment, so he swaggered into the woods, and then he was caught by the sudden appearance of Abel and Weiss knocked them out one by one, tied them with the rope that fixed the wine jars, and was dragged back to the open space where Negrim and the others stayed before, like a bunch of potatoes just off the ground.

Abel and Weiss attacked very hard. The dwarves didn't wake up until they were tied to the trees. It wasn't until the sun went down that the temperature in the air began to drop. opened his eyes.

At this time, Linnai had already taken the orcs to hide away, and Sigma, who came back later, immediately followed Linnai and the others to other places after hearing Negrim's arrangement. Even a group of dwarves glanced at it.

So when the group of dwarves woke up, only the three of Negrim were sitting around not far away, but when the dwarves opened their eyes, the first thing they saw was not Negrim and the others, but the burning bonfire.

The dwarf who woke up first couldn't care about anything, and shouted excitedly: "Fire! Fire! It's fire!!!"

Negrim heard the sound, and looked back, and saw that several dwarves had woken up, staring straight at the fire in front of him, scratching the ground with their stubby legs, frantically wanting to jump over here , After working hard for a long time without any results, the dwarf realized that he was tied up belatedly, and angrily said to Negrim: "Damn it, who are you! Untie us quickly!"

It was the captain of the dwarf team who called. His name was Iron Hammer. Because his house was well preserved in the previous accident, and he couldn't bear to wait the most, so when the dwarf king said that he needed a team to investigate the orcs After the situation, he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the captain, and led six of his fellow clansmen into the woods, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten with a sap by the cunning enemy and arrested after walking a few steps.

However, Hammer was not worried about his own safety. He believed that no one dared to offend the dwarves, and his smart people would be aware of their disappearance in time and find them soon.

If Negrim knew what this dwarf was thinking, he would definitely say that he didn't understand why this group of non-human races living in the marginal forest had such great confidence in themselves.

Negrim took a good look at the appearance of this group of dwarves when they were in a coma, but almost every dwarf had a long and shaggy beard, and it was impossible to see clearly if the beard was not removed. Their faces, but their bodies were too dirty, and fleas might be hiding in the beards. Thinking of this, Negrim didn't intend to observe carefully. He only looked at the armor and weapons on these dwarves.

It has to be said that the dwarves are indeed the strongest blacksmiths on this continent. The armors on their bodies are of different styles, obviously all made by them for themselves, but every piece of armor—every piece!They are several times better than the best armor Negrim has ever seen in the human weapon store. In other words, every dwarf has forging skills far surpassing the top human masters, which even makes Negrim start to I can't bear to tie them so tightly.

You know, the most expensive things in this world are always weapons. If these dwarves are willing to trade with humans and sell their works, it won’t even take a year, and the wealth in Negrim’s territory will be several times higher than it is now. times!

This caused Negrim to stare at the group of dwarves with green eyes, completely ignoring their appearance, only to feel that the dwarves who looked like potatoes were tied up in front of them, but gold coin-made dwarves. machine!

Negrim's eyes were too naked, just one glance made the hammer tremble, and he asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do?!"

Abel also didn't want his master to look at others like this, even if the other party was a dwarf with a short stature and a beard. He coughed lightly and called, "Master."

After Negrim heard the call, he glanced at Abel subconsciously. After meeting the clear green eyes of the other party, he finally woke up. No matter how valuable the dwarves are, they have to settle the matter first, otherwise they are not made of gold coins. Machine, but trouble making machine.

Negrim cleared his throat, turned to show a friendly smile to the dwarves, and said, "Are you awake?"

The dwarf's brain was a mess, and when Iron Hammer saw Negrim showing a talkative attitude, he immediately forgot the other's piercing eyes and shouted loudly: "Who are you?! If you dare to be an enemy of us dwarves, let us go! Let us fight with dignity!"

Still playing?Negrim looked at Abel, and Abel immediately looked at the hammer with cold eyes. As soon as the hammer met Abel's eyes, he remembered that they had already fought once, and they were not his opponents at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't be tied up here now, so he immediately fell silent and silent, and only stared at Negrim sadly and angrily, with an attitude that he would rather die than surrender.

But Negrim knew that this was just a dwarf's way of saving face, and if he really would rather die than submit, he would not shut up.

Negrim smiled and said nothing, "I know you are dwarves. After all, your name has already spread to the human world. Everyone knows that the forging skills of the dwarves are the best in the world. You have an upright temper and strong martial arts. As soon as I met you, I could see that you are physically strong, and the armor on your body is of top quality. Apart from the famous dwarves, which other race has such a demeanor?"

Weiss, who heard Negrim bragging for the first time: "..."

Alba can still flatter others like this? !It's terrible!It's a good thing Sigma and Linnai aren't here, otherwise their jaws wouldn't have dropped to the ground?No, Sigma probably couldn't. If he heard that Alba had such a high opinion of the dwarves, he might explode on the spot. Fortunately, he was not there.

Then Weiss couldn't help looking at Abel again, until he found that the other party also opened his mouth and looked stunned, he realized that he was not the only one who was frightened, even Abel was like this. It was Alba who behaved really abnormally!

But of course the dwarves don't know about Negrim's character. They are much more simple than the elves. When Nigrim praised them head-on, they almost immediately forgot their position. His expression softened, and even those who couldn't hide it were even more pleased. How could Hammer remember the cruel words he said before, he almost forgot that he was still tied up, poking his head, proud and curious at the same time "Does the outside world really say that about us?"

Negrim nodded, and was about to continue his efforts, but he didn't expect Hammer to be that stupid. He quickly reacted and said, "Wait, humans? You are all humans?!"

A suspicious expression immediately appeared on Tie Hammer's face, and he said, "Human beings are the most cunning, you must be lying to us!"

But having said that, there was not much hostility left in his eyes at all. Although the dwarves were grumpy, they were also very easy to understand. They just wanted to listen to good words from others.
