Chapter 19: The Death of a Dwarf
Chapter 19: The Death of a Dwarf
"You mean the gnomes are here?" Alan looked around at the familiar streets, and couldn't imagine that the magical little creature lived near him.
Salak looked at the map and double-checked, "That's right, if the clue provided by that person is correct." ā
Xia Zuo's brow furrowed slightly, and there was no joy at all about to meet the magical species, "I mean, did Saraq hear about the gnomes in the tavern?" ā
Salak was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Maybe we have to hurry up." ā
"Give me the map, I'm familiar with this place." Alan also realized the severity of the matter.
Skirting a few alleys, Alan led the two to a small wooden house under a hole in a broken bridge.
It's night, and the small houses in the distance are dimly lit, and it's pitch black, making people wonder if there are any creatures.
Alan controlled the system to find out about the people in the house, but he couldn't get an answer at all.
Expect this dwarf to be a girl.
A few people took the sea stone lamp and knocked lightly on the door, but no one responded.
Xia Zuo and Allen, whose senses are sharper than ordinary people, have already smelled a faint fishy smell.
Quickly pushed the door open, and the scene inside the house was clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Small, but clean and tidy, but not a single figure.
"Wait." Alan crouched down, a faint green trail on the ground near the back door.
"It's the blood of a dwarf." Salak exclaimed.
Then he hurriedly pushed open the back door and looked down, where there was a dry river.
Soon, the three of them saw the cold little body huddled in the grass.
"Damn!" Sarak's love fluctuates greatly.
"Which of you can use fire magic, or can make fire now." Alan asked the other two earnestly after observing the gnomes.
Both of them looked at Alan with some confusion, Xia Zuo raised his hand, and with a pop, a small cluster of golden flames jumped on his fingertips, "This is the fire of nature, is it okay?" ā
Alan looked at this strangely colored flame that had no temperature at all, and hesitated for a moment, "Try it, attack me with it." ā
Xia Zuo's pupils shrank, "Will it hurt?" ā
"Don't worry, come on"
As soon as the flames touched Allen's body, they immediately spread throughout the body.
Xia Zuo looked at Alan with some concern, although he preferred to believe him.
Then the flames disappeared all at once, and a pale blue halo suddenly covered Allen's body, like a film of water flowing slowly.
"High-level magic of the water system." Salak was quick to see it.
Nodding, Alan stopped talking, and his attention was all focused on the dwarf.
As the two of them made physical contact, the film of water slowly flowed from Allen's body to the dwarf's body, wrapping the little dwarf's whole body as before.
Then the surface of the little dwarf's body glowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and spit out a mouthful of dark green blood,
The man who had just concluded that he was dead opened his eyes tremblingly.
It's incredible.
Not only did Xia Zo and Salak look surprised, but even Alan was taken aback.
The dwarf looked at the three people in front of him suspiciously, and then he was horrified to find that his body was rapidly aging.
Perhaps understanding what was happening, the dwarf screamed with his last strength "Find Sesi, Seci ......"
But in one breath, the dwarf who was ruddy just now had turned into an old man with loose skin, and he once again lost the breath of life.
"How can this be......" Alan couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. But the death of someone who was already dead in front of his eyes again made him a little breathless.
Closing the gnome's protruding eyes, Alan felt a little heavy and hoped he could rest in peace.
"Perhaps...... It is the cause of the fire of nature. Xia Zuo muttered.
The scene in front of him was all too familiar to him, nature is a process of alternating growth and decline, and the fire of nature also contains such a mystery.
Alan sighed lightly, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this, this is the first time I've used it on someone other than myself." ā
"Neither of you should blame yourselves anymore, he would have died without you." Salak patted them on the shoulder, "The next thing to do is to figure out the meaning of what the dwarf just said. ā
"Seemingly...... The ruler of Fullande is the goblin Sesi. Alan still remembers the knowledge that the old man gave him.
The other two nodded, "Let's go back and discuss it later." Salak looked at the dark night sky overhead.
"Wait." Xia Zuo gestured, then walked to the little dwarf's side, squatted down, his fingers touched the ground, and slowly grew a bunch of vines where the dwarf was lying, intertwining and growing gradually wrapped the dwarf's body in it, a faint green light wrapped up, and the center of the vine became a big tree.
With the gnomes as the center, the green covers a large area, which is the mourning tree of the elves, throwing themselves into the embrace of nature, and the dead are eternal.
Alan patted the trunk of the tree and stretched out his hand to Xia Zuo, "Okay, let's go." ā
"Hmm" Grabbing Allen's hand, Xia Zuo stood up, "Let's go." ā
On the way back, the atmosphere was a little heavy, but no one thought about breaking it.
Although the initial incident of accessing the gnomes was to fight Fullande, now that he has witnessed the loss of a life, perhaps the plan will continue, but the purpose has changed.
What he has done now has deviated from the scope of Allen's responsibility, and if it is really Flander who imprisoned the dwarf, the subsequent actions may be very dangerous, Xia Zuo is now a little conflicted.
"I think it's necessary to go to Flande, well, the secret kind." Alan raised the building yƬ.
Salak touched his chin and assessed the feasibility, "The night attack before Fullande was unilaterally organized by the goblin Oak, to be precise, it was a struggle between those in power, I think Fullande's interior is also in chaos now, it's a good time." ā
"Wait, Alan is coming along?" Xia Zuo still asked for the exit.
Alan was stunned for a moment, and then asked viciously, "Do you think I can't do it?" ā
It seems that I accidentally touched the anger spot......
Well, it doesn't feel bad that way.
After the pointed ears solemnly said that he absolutely did not mean that, the black fish let go of the hilt of the sword.
The next day, the three of them gathered again on the second floor of Daddy Sico's school.
Daddy Sico touched his thinning belly, which was perhaps the only barely good thing to gain since the arrival of the pointed ears.
The appointee took out the internal map of Fullande, knowing that this is not something that money can buy, although the elves are bought with money, hoping that it will not be known to other customers.
With the previous panoramic three-dimensional map, the three of them quickly discussed the route, and tonight, they had a gentle and polite snoop.
