Tess's vigilance proved unnecessary. The big man who finally squeezed in was happily jumping around swinging his hammer as if he were doing some strange dance, completely oblivious to the bloody abrasions on his chest and back, which were almost naked.

He gave Naria a powerful hug that made her grin. When he approached Tess, Tess immediately stretched out a hand in front of her.

"Stop, stop!" she warned him, not wanting to be strangled to a broken bone or covered in blood, "where's my dagger?"

The big man stopped, stretched out a hand to show her. Her chic, little dagger that Norway had brought her from a distant city lay pitifully, unbroken, bald enough to be used to plunge into the back of any creature's head.

She picked it up and glared at the culprit viciously, but the other man just smiled and looked down at her, as if he might pick it up again at any moment.

Tess stepped back from a safe enough distance and had a toothache on her face, "Aren't you cold?" The big man was wearing only a shirt that was no longer visible, tattered and covered in blood, a pair of worn-out boots under the tight trousers, half-length and not short stubble popping out of his chin haphazardly, and his short brown hair was greasy and tangled, and he didn't know how long it had not been washed.

The big man shook his head vigorously and swung the hammer with ease, and the whirring wind forced Tess to take another step back, as if that would give him enough heat.

"I guess we don't care about that anymore. Naria walked over and wiped the blood on her face as she pulled Tess towards the crevice, "I think I heard something?" She wasn't too confident in her ears.

Tess put her ear close to the crevice, frowning and smiling, and Naria, who was a little apprehensive by her strange smile, patted her on the shoulder: "What's that?"

Tess smiled back, "I guess the dwarves heard our barbarians too." She could hear the loud voices of the dwarves from afar.

"That's good news?"

"Of course, since they can come down, we can go up. Tess said smugly.

"Do you mean, caught by them?" Nalya didn't want to run around and get back to where she was.

"Of course not. Tess glanced at the big man who was looking at them curiously, pulled Naria aside, and whispered something.

"No!" that was Naria's first reaction, "we can't do that!"

"Where can we go with him? He won't be able to get through most places! Let the dwarves find a way to take him out, and we'll follow behind, that's the best way. Tess knew that her idea would be difficult for Naria to accept, so she could only try her best to convince: "Wait until we rescue Is, and then find a way to save him." If he's so stupid, the dwarves won't embarrass him, and maybe they'll let him help them knock stones. ”

Naria shook her head resolutely.

"Well, let's ask himself. Tess walked up to the big man and struggled to raise her head to talk to him: "Listen, the dwarves have spotted us, but I guess they don't know how many people there are, we don't know the way, if you want to get out of here, the best thing is to let them find you, and then take you out, we will follow behind, looking for a chance to save you, what do you think?"

The big man simply nodded.

"Uh......" Tess asked suspiciously, "do you really understand what I'm saying?"

The big man nodded again and sat down, his gaze still a little lower than Tess's, and he grinned at her, and Tess couldn't help but reach out and touch his head with a simple and trusting gaze, which felt like touching a big dog with its tongue stuck out and wagging its tail.

"It's not fair!" Narya protested, "He probably doesn't understand at all!"

The big man's head turned to him, tapped his head, and patted his chest again, presumably to show that he understood.

"Naria, think of your brother, if we don't get out soon, those dwarves might kill him. Tess whispered.

She hated it that way to force Naria to make a choice. But if you want to move forward, you have to learn to give up.

Naria's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and stood for a few moments before she came over and hugged the big man's thick neck.

"We're hiding nearby," she assured him, "we'll always be after you, and if the dwarves want to hurt you, we'll stop them, and we'll get you out anyway." ”

They left the torches for the big ones, hid in another narrow crevice that even the dwarves could hardly pass through, and waited quietly.

The big man sat there bored, tapping the ground with his sledgehammer as if to guide the dwarves, and as time went on, he simply slumped against the rock wall and began to snore.

When the dwarves finally found him, they seemed to be shocked by his unusual stature for a while, and they talked to him for a long time before someone carefully stabbed him with the handle of an axe.

The big man opened his eyes blankly and looked around at a circle of dwarves who had aimed their weapons at him.

"We arrest you on the orders of the king!" the dwarf's voice sounded a little nervous, "you better not resist. "They wanted to sneak his hammer away first, but the big man held it tightly.

The big man scratched his head, raised his sledgehammer - the dwarves around him immediately began to growl nervously - and then took it in his arms, looking at the dwarves innocently.

That's probably his "no resistance" expression, but if someone wants to take away his hammer, a big war is probably inevitable.

The dwarves looked at each other, and for a long time they joined each other, and at last with the ropes they had brought with them, the big man's hands were tied firmly in a circle, along with his hammer, until his upper body was almost a ball of rope, and then he was pushed away.

Tess exhaled softly: "...... At least he won't be cold now. She was glad that the dwarves weren't as aggressive and brainless as the legend suggests, and didn't insist on snatching the big man's hammer, though the way she woke up a powerful foe and then announced that she was going to arrest him was a bit silly.

Narya still looked worried.

"Can we keep up?" she asked, holding her voice impatiently.

"Patience is a virtue...... Tess said, her eyes following the fainter and fainter light, patting Naria on the shoulder as it was about to leave her sight, "Now, my sweetheart warrior, let's go!"
