In the ruins of a dwarven village, Vizni was cowering in a ruined corner with his head in his hands, crouching on the ground and shivering, afraid to be noticed by the others. He knew they had failed this time, that Blug was dead, that the staff of the Hallows had been taken back by the dwarves, and that the goblins had lost their greatest support.

"Whew!"

Suddenly there was a sharp whistle in front of him, and Vizni was so frightened that he looked up and saw Zero squatting in front of him not far away looking at him, and he fled in fright, and suddenly his shoulder was pierced by a sharp wind thorn, and he was nailed to the broken wall behind him. A sharp pain came from his shoulder, green blood flowed from the wound in his shoulder, he opened his mouth and let out a cry of pain, and then he saw the dagger in his hand with a blank face, and the slender wind spike extended from the dagger.

"Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me...... I'm all forced, don't kill me, you can do whatever you tell me to!" Bidzni pleaded to Zero in a shrill voice.

With a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, he withdrew the wind thorn magic on his dagger, looked at the paralyzed Bizni and said, "You better explain these useless nonsense to them." ”

Visni looked at the dwarves who came forward around him, he didn't dare to look at their resentful expressions, clutched the wound on his shoulder, lowered his head and muttered "Don't kill me".

"Kill him with a knife!" someone said.

"Tammon is colluding with him to attack the village, and he must not be allowed to get better!" shouted again.

"Phew, filthy thing!" someone cursed with a spit of phlegm at Pizni.

In the midst of everyone's noisy discussions, Gu Ang said loudly: "Okay, I have my own decision. ”

The dwarves around him fell silent, and Gu Ang walked up to Pizni and looked at him and said, "It's really feng shui in turn, it's only been a day, and you have gone from being a winner to a loser." ”

When ......Pizni heard Gu Ang's words, he raised his head and looked at him and pleaded: "Patriarch Gu Ang, I beg you, let me go! I really didn't want to make any of these ......."

"Alright, I don't have the heart to listen to your useless arguments. Gu Ang interrupted Vizni's words, "You also know the current situation, we dwarves have now opened the cellar and obtained the holy weapon, and no matter how many goblins you have, you are no match for us. ”

Gu Ang said and bent down to stare into Vizni's terrified eyes and said, "However, we don't want to continue the useless struggle either. We dwarves just want to live quietly in the territory we have earned, and if you are not blind, you can see that it will be easy for us to destroy your goblins now, but we don't want to repeat the killing karma of our ancestors. Now, your leader is dead, and you don't have the holy staff, if you and your people still want to live, withdraw from the alchemy matrix of the dwarves, we can not blame the past, but if you are still obsessed, we dwarves will accompany you to the end! Tell the goblins outside what I said above, and let them evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a dead end!"

As soon as Gu Ang's words fell, the dwarves around him became unhappy.

"Patriarch, just let those goblins go, is that too cheap?"

"Yes, we have died so many people, are they just sacrificing in vain?"

"Now that we have the holy weapon in hand, are we still afraid of those goblins?

"Goblins have killed so many of us, we must not let them have any better time!"

"This disgusting goblin has been slaughtered directly!"

"We're going to rush out and fight them now!"

......

The dwarves' words made Vizni tremble on the ground, and he looked at the angry dwarves around him with a look of horror, and did not dare to speak.

"That's enough!" Gu Ang frowned deeply, and his expression scanned the noisy people around him with a serious expression, "Do you still take me as a patriarch in your eyes?"

The surrounding dwarves fell silent instantly, and Gu Ang then lowered his head to look at Bizni who was paralyzed on the ground and said, "What do you say?"

Visini trembled and looked up at Gu Ang and asked, "What if...... If I do what you say, will you let me live?"

Gu Ang looked at Pizni, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I promise you." ”

At the entrance of the dwarven village, the dwarves gathered at the entrance of the village with weapons on their shoulders, and Vizni stood in front of the dwarves, communicating loudly with the large group of goblins outside the barrier in the strange language of the goblins.

The many holy weapons in the hands of the dwarves emitted bursts of glow, and the goblins were shocked by the strong power of the holy weapons one after another, and all the goblins knew about Blug's death, and they had begun to retreat.

After Vizni's words, large swaths of goblins began to retreat into the jungle, and as far as the eye could see, the black oppressive patch looked like ants moving from their nests.

The dwarves all breathed a sigh of relief, the sun rose in the sky at this time, the dark night was pierced by the morning sun, and the first morning light fell on everyone's faces, soothing everyone's tired hearts and dispelling the gloom that covered their hearts. The golden morning light gradually illuminates the eastern sky, and everything looks hopeful.

Looking at the fleeing goblins, Vizni shuddered and turned to ask Gu Ang, "I have done what you said, I ...... Can I go?"

Gu Ang nodded and did not speak, and when Bizni saw Gu Ang's movements, he ran away, and as soon as he ran two steps forward, a slender blade pierced his chest. With a look of disbelief on his face, Vizni looked down at the translucent blade that passed through his body, opened his mouth and died.

"Hmph!" Kusai drew back the long knife that pierced Bizni and watched him fall to the ground, "Patriarch Guang promised you, but I didn't. ”

With a faint smile on the corner of Gu Ang's mouth, he stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of Kuse, who was standing beside him, turned to everyone and said, "Let's go, let's go back and rebuild our home." ”

Kusse turned around and saw Zero wink at him and give him a thumbs up, Kusse smiled and followed Gu Ang towards the village.

Taru walked back with the group, after a big battle, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately his family was fine, and what he wanted to do most now was to have a hot meal with his family. As he thought so, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name.

"Grandpa Taru, please stay ......" Zero ran to Taru, who was walking in front, and after seeing the other party turn around, he slowed down and stopped in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Taru asked kindly.

"This ......," Zero took out the pair of bones hanging from his waist and handed it to Taru, "I will give it back to you, when I was picking up weapons in the arsenal before, Grandpa Kusse asked me to take a weapon to defend myself, and I took your pair of daggers casually." Now that it's over, it's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner. ”

Taru chuckled and shook his head at Zero, "I'll give you these daggers." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid I'll deserve it......" Zero scratched his head and said, "You know, I'm a magician, and Grandpa Cusse told me that you put all your heart and soul into forging these daggers......"

Taru looked into Zero's eyes and said to him, "Weapons are forged to be used, and the dwarves don't forge weapons to keep them in the vault, but to keep them until their true owners get them." This pair of bones, you use it well, you can find the doorway on its body, it means that you are related to it. ”

Zero smiled bitterly and said to Taru: "Grandpa Taru, I am a magician after all, the dagger is for warriors, I, a magician, can't hold a knife and face it with others......"

Taru shook his head, patted Zero on the shoulder and said, "Zero, in my opinion, you are not a pedantic person like the laity. You remember to never look at the world through the eyes of the masses, you have to believe that you are unique. No one has decreed that mages can't use warrior weapons, and if you impose popular ideas on yourself, you're going to lose the chance to see the world clearly. You can accept this pair of daggers, this is the only old man I can thank you, your kindness to our dwarf clan, we will always remember it, may the god of war blow power into your arms, may you gain the ability to protect happiness in the near future, while maintaining the original intention of youth. ”

After listening to what Taru said to him, Zero straightened up and stopped refusing, and after bowing solemnly to Taru, he said to him seriously, "Thank you, I will definitely use this pair of daggers well." ”

Taru smiled and nodded, patted him on the shoulder again, and then turned and walked back to the village. Zero let out a long breath as he looked at Tharu's back, then he turned his face to look at the morning glow in the sky, the warm morning sun fell on his face, and he stood there quietly, watching the sun slowly rise in the east.

On the top of the bell tower of the dwarf village, Zero sat on the railing with a guitar in his hand, his fingers skillfully plucking the strings, and a melodious and soothing music flowed from his fingertips, and Zero quietly looked at the sky in the distance, pondering alone.

The dwarves survived the goblin attack, and although a small number of people were sacrificed, everyone was trying to get out of the shadow of the disaster and actively participated in the reconstruction of the village. On the day of the goblin retreat, the patriarch led people to restart the alchemy matrix, and with the protection of the matrix, the big stone that the dwarves were hanging in their hearts finally fell. It's just that most of the village was destroyed in the war, and the food stored was also eaten by the invading goblins, and now the dwarves are in ruins, and few people are sad and self-pitying, and everyone is thinking about rebuilding their former beautiful home.

Of all the people, the most idle is zero. Everyone said that he was the benefactor of the dwarven race, and insisted on not allowing him to participate in the reconstruction of the village, so he could only sit idle and play the guitar alone on the top of the bell tower. Listening to the noise coming from downstairs, watching the dwarves clean up the ruins little by little in the ruins and then build a new house, a sense of lazy secret joy arose in Zero's heart.

Zero suddenly felt that he hadn't felt this way in a long time, as if he had been pushing himself too hard all along, and for so many years, from the previous life to this life, he had rarely felt relaxed. In my previous life, I was a mediocre orphan, and I was busy studying since I was sensible, because knowledge changed my fate, but when I grew up, I found that my fate was still the same as that of all living beings, annoyed by firewood, rice, oil and salt, for money, desperately squeezed myself dry, desperately climbed up and climbed, but I was always unlucky, and I fell back to the bottom halfway through the climb...... finally became a nobleman in this life, not worrying about food or clothing, but he yearned for freedom. If he was placed in his previous life, if he suddenly became a rich second generation, he would have to wake up laughing at night, but somehow in this life, he may have been living in a comfortable environment for a long time, and he gradually got tired of that kind of aristocratic life. The word "freedom" took root in his heart like an obsession, and he grew like a weed, and he desperately longed for freedom and wanted to get rid of the aristocratic compound that was guarded by people every day. Especially after his marriage was arranged by the royal family, he made up his mind to make himself an orphan again.

It's good to be an orphan, you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to be responsible for anyone, because you're alone, and no one needs to make you responsible. Of course, you can also make all kinds of friends, like the people you like, whether they are righteous gentlemen or fox friends, that is your own business, no one can care about you. You can also travel around, as long as you have money in your pocket to eat and not starve to death, as long as you really want to go north and south, then you can go in no time. No one reminds you that you feel a little lonely when you go home for dinner, but so what? True freedom is to go without worry.

That's how Zero comforted himself, and that's how he comforted himself when he returned to Lan'er, when he returned to the gate of the Cretan mansion and saw the Cretan family living happily, and he still comforted himself like this. He felt that he had now got the freedom he wanted, and he felt guilty about the loss of their son by running away from home, but when he saw that they had another son, that guilt disappeared without a trace. They came out of the grief of losing their son and gave birth to a new child to fill the vacancy of "Jeno", which was the best result, Zero got the freedom he wanted, and the Cretan family was as fine as ever.

Thinking of this, Zero suddenly felt that he was a little similar to Tanmeng, both of them were parents who had a new child, the difference was that Tanmeng wanted his parents to have only one child, he wanted to have all the love of his parents, and he abandoned this love like a shoe, not because of other people's problems, but because he himself had never forgotten the lonely self in the past......

From the very beginning when he woke up from this world, he had been thinking about it day and night to find out why he was here. To be honest, at first he wanted to go back, to return to the original world, he never let go of a person, the girl he had always dreamed of, although he and her would no longer have results, but he agreed to be his best man at her wedding, even if it was not himself who could be by her side in the end to give him happiness, but he still wanted to watch her go to happiness. This is his only regret in the original world, once for this regret, he stubbornly looked for the reason for coming here and the way to go back, but the bamboo basket was empty, and then under the wash of time, he gradually gave up this idea and accepted the reality. Now that he really has no worries, it's time to think about how he should go in the future.

Zero has been in the dwarven village for more than two months, and the summer is coming to an end, and Zero has been thinking about saying goodbye to the dwarves lately, leaving the Saling Forest to go out into the world. After that, I might go to Josevi, after a battle with the goblin leader, Zero feels that there are still a lot of things I haven't learned in magic, and the next time I see Josevi, I must learn from her steadily. Zero remembered that Josevi was in a hurry when she parted from herself, she said she was going to leave the day before, and she packed up all her things the day after that, and left without saying hello, maybe she really didn't want to take her with her if there was something inconvenient. Unwilling to think about it, Zero exhaled a long breath, shook his head lightly, and then began to play the guitar.

Suddenly hearing someone call his name, Zero looked down and saw Archie and Ilman standing under the bell tower and calling him to come down for dinner, Zero agreed, put away his guitar and walked downstairs.
