Gina's smug tone and her sky-facing nostrils were really joyful, and Cloud Shadow twitched the corners of her mouth to change to something she was interested in.

"Miss Gina, forgive us for being rare and weird, I think the other crossbow on your waist is very chic."

"Oh, you say this?"

Gina pointed to the small crossbow hanging on her body and became more and more proud: "This is also our invention, and everyone likes to use it, because it can fire ten short arrows in a row. ”

Ten roots? There were a dozen or so dwarves guarding the entrance of the cave just now, and each of them pulled the trigger once, and more than a hundred short arrows flew towards the cloud shadow and them—fortunately, they didn't have a protracted battle with those dwarves just now.

"It's amazing, even as an opponent I have to say I can honestly admire, and as soon as we arrived, we were trapped by you - it was so unexpected."

"Of course, as long as the slide basket at the entrance above us is activated, it will trigger the rattle at the entrance below, and it is inevitable that you will be caught."

Cloud Shadow noticed that Gina's "little" girl seemed to like to be praised, and she would say anything as soon as she was proud, and it stands to reason that such a thing as a crossbow should not be told to anyone who knows whether she is friend or foe...... Cloud Shadow was happy to learn more about the Dwarves, but the more she listened, the more surprised she was by the latter's skill level.

"Ah, when I arrived, my father was forging things in there, and you could only go in alone, and - my father didn't have a good temper at work, and I wouldn't have brought you here now if it weren't for the good faith of the dwarves, so be polite when you see my father."

Oh, the integrity of the dwarves - Yun Ying empathized, if she was Gina, she would definitely not lead the opponent to her own hinterland after rescuing Philips, saying that the simplicity and persistence of the dwarves are really incredible.

"Who?"

As soon as Gina and the other three dwarves led Cloudshadow, Gillie, and Feiko into a wooden door that forked in the road, they heard someone inside questioning, still a majestic male voice.

"It's me, father."

Gina's answer made Cloud Shadow understand that the owner of the voice was none other than the dwarven patriarch Muhammad.

"What's the matter, didn't I say don't bother me if it's okay during this time?"

"That's right...... There are a few humans brought in by Philips ......"

"Humans?"

There was a creak - the wooden door opened. A bearded middle-aged dwarf with small red glasses appeared in front of everyone, and this scene only felt familiar.

"Hello, Patriarch Muhammad, I'm Cloud Shadow, the other two are Jiri and Feiko, and we're from the Bolunk Manor."

"Bounck Manor?"

Muhammad raised thick eyebrows and looked strange, but he paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Come in, human girl." ”

The vicious gaze made Muhammad see at a glance who was in charge of the human trio.

"Father?"

Gina didn't expect her father to let Cloud Shadow into her studio so easily, shouldn't her father stand in the door and ask angrily why humans entered the tunnel? Anyway, she was forced to be under the pressure of honesty before, and she had been worried about it.

"Gina, a few of you and two guests are guarding the door."

"What?"

Gina was so surprised that she almost suspected that the person in front of her was not her own father, and his father had to face the human who didn't know the depths alone.

"Father, this is too dangerous. You don't know - that woman is a magician, and she just blocked all the short arrows we fired - very powerful, in case you ......"

"Alright. Go to the gatekeeper. ”

Before Gina could finish speaking, Muhammad pushed her out of the door, and Yunying, who was invited in and sat in a chair, was no less surprised than the former.

"You're from Boulenc Manor? What is it called? ”

"Yes, my name is Cloud Shadow."

Unclear as Muhammad meant, Yun Ying replied very briefly and cautiously.

"You're from the Boulunck family?"

"Well, I'm there as a clerk."

Cloudshadow's answer was ingenious, and Muhammad meant exactly to ask her about her kinship with the Borang family. But someone under the guise of a false shot, anyway, the important position of the clerk of the manor is generally taken by his own family.

"So you know the whereabouts of the dwarves from your own family?"

"Hmm."

Cloud Shadow says less and makes fewer mistakes.

"Then why did you suddenly cut off contact with us more than thirty years ago?!"

"Huh?"

Yunying was questioned by Muhammad without any expectation, and she was innocent, and she knew better than her lover what was going on, but now the lie continued.

"That's right, the person who contacted you in charge of the department went missing unexpectedly, and no one at Bolunck Manor has known how to contact you since. It was only a few days ago that we found your way through a portrait. ”

Combined with his own experience and speculation, the more Yun Ying said, the more he felt that this was the case.

"Can you tell me which portrait it is?"

Muhammad's eyes were sharp, and Cloud Shadow knew that this was her test of her identity.

“…… It is a portrait of Mario, a master alchemist. ”

Yunying decides to trust Yin Feng and Arthur's judgment, although she still can't figure out why Headmaster Mario appears in the ancestral portrait of Bolunk Manor.

"Huh. It seems that you are indeed a blood relative of Boulunck Manor. ”

Muhammad cheered at his throat, but Yunying had no idea where the basis for his judgment came from.

"Master Mario once said that only the people he trusted most could recognize his portrait and its secrets! I've been waiting for years to finally get in touch with you again, and I think it's been Principal Mario who communicated directly with us back then. ”

“…… Oh, I'm glad too. ”

In the face of Mohammed Yunying, who completely trusted her, she expressed a lot of pressure, but she also heard from the former's words that Principal Mario and Bolunck Manor did have a close relationship. I just don't know what role the dwarves play in it.

"By the way, Miss Yunying, what are your plans for coming to us this time?"

Miss Cloud Shadow? Muhammad, who had been calling "you, you" all the time, suddenly became polite, which made Yunying feel more hearty.

"I don't have anything I have to do this time. It's just that we haven't been in touch for more than 30 years - I want to know about you, you know, I just took on the task of communicating with you, and we don't know each other yet. ”

Taking advantage of the name of Boulunck Manor without any psychological burden, even Cloud Shadow herself almost believed that she had come to visit the dwarves in the right way.

"Yes, yes, of course, Miss Yunying, or let's talk while visiting my studio."

Studio? Only then did Yunying notice the peculiarity of Muhammad and his place, the wooden shelves placed against the wall on three sides were piled with all kinds of metal objects, and in the center of the earthen cave of at least 100 square meters was a gourd-shaped furnace three meters high—it was so familiar!
