Devil’s Son-in-Law

The rays of the sun gradually fade away in the glorious evening glow, the night falls and the moon begins to exude a gentle luminosity.

After a long day of trekking, the team finally entered the Black Rock Mountains, the fat man sat on the ground with his ass. The Reverend still exercised his body during his apprenticeship. He had been used to raising his dignity for years. How could he bear this suffering?

“No, I can't walk anymore, just camp here and rest. ”

Ina looked at the surroundings and frowned: "No! Not here! Let's get out of here. ”

“I can't walk anymore, I have to rest here, whatever you say can't change my decision!” Fatty gasped heavily and couldn't help but get dirty. He lay down on his back and his raised stomach dramatically lay down together, reminding Chen Rui of some amphibian animal on the planet.

Ina shook her head, ignoring Fatty's grievances, and led the team forward, walking for a while, throwing a sentence from afar: "This terrain, coupled with the cover of the night, makes it possible for the enemy to turn us into meatloaf in our sleep by just smashing rocks down the hill. ”

Fatty gasped and thought of the rockfall ambush he had encountered before escaping into that dreadful forest that day, he had to strike a chill, didn't know where his strength was, climbed up again, intending to keep up with the team, only walked a few steps, his feet tripped by the rock, if not held by the arm beside him in time, he would definitely fall into a mouth and eat mud.

Fatty nodded at Chen Rui, holding him, gasping: “Thank you, Richard. ”

Chen Rui handed over a bottle of medicine: “Drink this and it should help your health recovery. ”

Fatty opened the bottle and drank it gruntly. She felt her strength recovering rapidly. The triangle glanced bright: “What kind of restorative medicine is this? It works so well! Is it a master's medicine? ”

“Masterclass... pretty much, this was given to me by my teacher, unfortunately it's just one bottle. ”

Chen Rui is right, this bottle is his teacher Tennis made recovery medicine, has reached the quasi-sanctional level, and is the last bottle, but there are still endless master level recovery drugs in the super-system exchange center.

“My friend, I am ashamed of your friendship and I have to confess to you. In fact, I have secretly hidden a few fine barley pies that have not been taken out to share, and I will now share them with you...” Fatty took out a few pieces with emotion.

Due to the destruction of the carriage, the loss of riding, and the consequent loss of food and supplies, the fat man usually had to eat raw and cold dry food with the mercenaries. When he was lucky, he could get some prey for the tooth festival. I didn't think there was even a private stash.

“I'm equally touched by your candor, but thank you, I really don't need it, I won't accept it! Because my friends need it more than I do, okay, keep up with the team.” Chen Rui smiled, patting Fatty on his shoulder and walking forward.

In fact, he knows very well that this fat bastard has more than a few pieces of barley cake in his possession. The so-called "frankness” is naturally reserved, so why don't you take out the meatloaf you ate in the morning and share it?

The team continued until Ina picked a suitable hillside before stopping to camp.

“Do not make fire, do not make noise, narrow down the patrols and try not to alarm the hill dwarfs.” Ina ordered the assignment of tasks and the organization of rest and vigilance for all.

The fat man, exhausted, went into the tent to rest, sneaked up on the stock hidden in the space bracelet, then lay down, and a few minutes later, the tent sounded like a snore.

Chen Rui sat among the mercenaries and listened to the bearded Silva tell the story of the cave dwarf.

Compared to cave dwarves who are indulged in underground caves and forest dwarves who are only willing to compete with elves, forged hill dwarves intersect more with humans, and the majority of dwarf artisans in human society are hill dwarves.

The hill dwarves love human wine and cuisine, while humans indulge in the equipment forged by the dwarves. Smart businessmen come to the dwarves' places of residence on the hills and exchange relatively inexpensive food and wine for dwarf-made equipment to make a profit, and some even use the careless and hasty character of the dwarves to defraud them by various means… Over time, many dwarfs begin to enter the human world, and after coming into contact with humans of all kinds, the dwarves finally wake up to the various deceptions they suffered.

On one occasion, Dwarves became averse to humanity, no longer trading equipment directly with humans, but selling equipment and purchasing goods through Dwarves or special advocates in the human world. Many dwarf communities have made humans unpopular objects, such as the hill dwarves who live in this thick earth castle on Black Rock Mountain.

A young man soon after joining the mercenary corps asked, "This time we just passed through, shouldn't it be hostile to the dwarves? ”

Big Beard thought about it and shook his head: “It's not supposed to happen, but, unforeseen, nobody can say what's going to happen in the next minute. We're mercenaries, ready to deal with accidents, like right now, I have a bad feeling something might happen tonight. ”

Looking at the nervous colour of the young mercenary, the beard and several people around him laughed, what a hunch this was, the old bird was flirting with the rookie.

Chen Rui's eyebrows picked and looked at the distance.

Shortly afterwards, Samuel also showed vigilance and stood up slowly: “Looks like you've got it, Silva, don't ‘hunch’ it in the future. ”

Everyone was surprised. Ina knew that Samuel would never talk nonsense. She quickly copied the shield and ordered: "All personnel prepare for battle! Remember, if it's a dwarf, don't do it first! ”

The mercenaries quickly picked up their weapons and formed a defensive formation, and Mana, the fat man in his sleep, was woken up.

You can see a black-pressed figure hovering this way, and the blink has surrounded the hillside.

You can tell by the moon color, the number of visitors is about four or five hundred people, these shadows are generally short head, fully equipped with metal armor helmets, uniformly equipped with square shields similar to the body shape, the other hand holding a relatively large head of iron hammer or battle axe. In terms of footsteps on the ground, this set of armor and weapons weighs considerably heavier than ordinary equipment, yet these figures remain steady and appear to be customary.

“The Great Shield Warrior of the Mountain Dwarves!” Ina was overwhelmed by the theory that even if the hill dwarves were here, with the size of their squad, it would not be possible to send so many regular troops.

“Put away your weapons! Remember not to show hostility! I'll deal with them.” Ina saw that the situation was wrong and hastily asked everyone to lay down their weapons and show friendship, and with the terrible fighting power of these big shield fighters, no one was spared except Samuel, who might have been able to escape once the conflict broke out.

Ina did not know Samuel's true level of strength, let alone that there was a stronger presence in the ranks than the deputy commander, but rather that the dwarves were more at risk.

Dwarf Shield warriors quickly surrounded the hillside, and a dwarf headed out and drank in some obstinate common language: “Despicable thieves, give you a minute to return what is not yours to the dwarf! Otherwise you will wash your blood to bear the wrath of the dwarves! ”

Thieves? When the crowd met each other, Ina finally understood where the misunderstanding had come from and hurried forward and said: “This is a misunderstanding! We're just passing mercenaries! ”

“You have 40 seconds!” The Dwarf ignored Ina's explanation, waved his hand, and the Dwarf formation behind him began to change, making an offensive gesture.

Ina knew that this was by no means a bluff. Dwarves were mostly paranoid. Once it was determined that things would be difficult to change, she yelled, "I'm a friend of Blackbeard Tacklin's! I can assure you that my friend and I have absolutely nothing to do with this! ”

This assurance is not ridiculous, because the dwarves value their mustaches most, and the dwarf who heads them suddenly snaps: “Are you really a friend of Tacklin's? ”

“Yes! My father used to be a good friend with him, and I remember him having a habit of singing after drinking...”

“Yes, Tacklin does have this habit...” The dwarf's tone slowed down a little and became sharp again, “No! You humans are very crafty guys, not trustworthy! If you don't want to immediately turn into meat under the axes and hammers of the dwarves, give up all resistance and follow me back to Thick Earth Castle! ”

Ina thought quickly, looked at her companion and finally nodded. Hard spelling was not desirable in the current situation, otherwise she would not only be unable to pass through the Black Rock Mountains, but would also be attacked and pursued by dwarves.

As a result, all were seized of their weapons and escorted by the dwarves on their way to the mountain.

Despite the low visibility of the night, the dwarves were extremely familiar with the environment and took about three hours to reach the hill dwarf's place of residence, the Thick Earth Castle, by turning over the complex terrain of the hills.

Don't look at the size of the dwarves, especially in front of the tall Silva, who can only reach his waist, yet the castle is magnificent, with countless crawling vines wrapped around the tall walls of the gray white city, like an ancient giant with a low head in the moonlight.

It was late at night, but the gate was wide open and a row of armoured dwarves stood in two rows with torches and weapons. The security was tight. Obviously, something had happened in the Thick Land Castle, which should have something to do with what the Dwarf leader of the Great Shield warrior called a “thief”.
