Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wounded Nova in the Cellar
The snow gradually stopped, the clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the sun began to shine on the earth, for the first time after two weeks of continuous gloom, the sun reflected on the face through the white snow, and it was so dazzling that you couldn't open your eyes.
It was already afternoon, and Thea took Stern to climb the mountain step by step, and rolled down the hill without paying attention to the slipping of his feet, and Stern had no time to react behind him and could only watch him roll all the way down.
At this time, the little gray on one side jumped towards Xia like a fly, and a few jumps came to Xia in front of him, and Xia rolled to the feet of Xiao Gray and stopped.
In the past two days, Ash and Xia have gradually become familiar with each other, and they get along very well, once the Warcraft signs a contract with humans, they will be able to understand human nature, and they will take the initiative to restrain their wildness when they get along with humans.
As long as humans have the strength, they can sign contracts with multiple Warcraft, of course, there are certain restrictions on the number, among which there are up to two low-level Warcraft, one middle-level Warcraft, one high-level Warcraft, and another is not a Warcraft, it is the legendary dragon family, and the contract between humans and dragons is also different from other Warcraft, but I have not heard of the appearance of dragon knights on the mainland for hundreds of years.
Having climbed the hillside without danger, Stern found a place where the stone wall was sunken inward and there was no snow to stop, and he took out a large pile of Pig's leg meat from the ring to reward the clever little gray, which made his spatial ring half empty again.
"Whew~" Xiao Ash found that this time the owner was more generous than the previous times, and he screamed happily and began to eat in a big gulp.
Finding a place to rest, Stern went to the neighborhood to cut some branches, raised a pile of firewood, and they ate dinner and chatted by the fire, unaffected by the snow.
"Uncle Stern, how did you catch Ash, it must have taken you a lot of effort, right?" Shia asked Stern, he didn't know what would have happened if Ash hadn't appeared in time for Ash's appearance today.
"Well, that's a long story...... Stern told Thea about the whole process of his fierce battle with Ash as he stroked Ash's shiny hair, leaving Thea dumbfounded.
"If only I could have a low-level magical beast that could take me on a fast run. After listening to Stern's story, Thea had a look of envy on her face.
Stern remembered the wind leopard in the canyon, although he and Xiao Gray may not be able to subdue it together, but it will be much easier if he can bring a few more dwarven high-level warriors in the future, thinking about it, Stern naturally replied to Thea:
"Uncle knows where there are low-level Demonic Beasts, next time we have the opportunity to go and catch them together to make contract Demonic Beasts for you. ”
"Okay, okay, then I can also have a low-level demonic beast. Shia replied eagerly, with a happy smile on her face.
Early the next morning, Stern and Thea rode Ash towards the pass, which was not too far away, so it took them more than two hours to reach their destination.
They rummaged around, there were more than thirty corpses of goblins lying on the ground, but they did not find any trace of dwarves, if the dwarves were defeated by the goblins, it stands to reason that there should be dwarf corpses on the ground, and lazy goblins would not take the corpses.
"Abba, I'm Sia, Abba~" Xia opened his voice and shouted around, and after shouting for a while, he didn't get any response, he stopped, his eyes were full of confusion and worry.
"Thea, the lack of a body shows that things are not as bad as imagined, the worst may be captured by the goblins, and the better thing may be where they are hiding, you are familiar with this place, is there any place to hide, let's go and find out. After saying that, Stern stepped forward to help up Thea, who was half-squatting on the ground, and encouraged:
"Since the bodies were not found, it means that they must still be alive, so let's hurry. Xia patted the snowflakes on her body, nodded and said:
"There's a secret cellar near here, it's about half a day's journey from here, the goblins don't know that there exists, we hid a lot of food in that cellar before leaving, maybe Abba and they are hiding there, I'll take you there now. With that, Thea set off on his feet.
There was a little gray walking all the way behind, and the half-day journey took less than two hours, and Xia climbed down from the little gray and ran quickly towards the bushes ahead.
"Thea, wait a minute. Stern hurriedly stopped the fast-running Thea, and he noticed several rows of footprints in the snow, one of which had long toes with sharp nails, which looked like the footprints of goblins he had seen in the pass earlier
"Come and see, are these goblin footprints?" Xia walked over and looked at the strange footprints on the ground and nodded, with a solemn look on her face,
"Yes, it's the footprints of the goblins, could it be that this place has been discovered by the goblins?" replied, looking at the footprints on the ground.
"Perhaps, you take me to the cellar, gently, and don't make a noise. Ash, you're waiting here. With that, the two of them lightly touched the bushes.
They opened a narrow hole in the bush and appeared before them, and Stern grabbed Thea by the hand, and said:
"I'll go in first. After saying that, he took out the axe and bent down into the cellar. The cellar had three vents, and the interior was relatively dry, about thirty square meters in area, less than two meters high, and through the faint light, it was barely possible to see a large pile of food in the black pressure inside.
At this time, in the corner of the cellar lay a small figure, and when he saw a tall figure coming into the hole, he picked up the weapon around him and pointed it at Stern, but he did not stand up, as if he was seriously injured.
Seeing his appearance clearly, a grizzled dwarf with a tattered body, and seeing that there was no other danger in the cellar, Stern turned back to Thea and said:
"Thea, everything is fine inside, and there's another person, see if it's your father. Hearing the tall figure on the opposite side say Thea's name, the injured dwarf suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the person who came is not a bad person,
"Thea, is it Thea?" the sloppy dwarf asked in a hoarse voice. Thea stepped forward excitedly, and found a dwarf lying in front of him, whose face could not be seen clearly, and he crouched down and replied:
"Yes, I'm Thea, Abba, are you?" The sloppy dwarf instantly became excited when he heard Thea's voice, and he said to Thea:
"I'm Nova, your Uncle Nova, and your Abba has gone out to find out the news of the goblins, and there are only three of us left, Abba and Harley, and me. Hearing that his father was still alive, Xia's hanging heart finally let go,
"Uncle Nova, when will my Abba be back?" asked Thea.
"He, he usually goes out early and returns late, and has been thinking about how to retake the hills, he and Harley are like hunters looking for those lonely goblins every day, and they have quietly eliminated more than a dozen goblins in the past few days, but I am too useless to help them, but I am dragging my feet. Thea, why are you back, are the others okay?" Thea nodded, and he told Uncle Nova about how he met Stern in the valley and the purpose of his return.
