Chapter 262: Into the Mountain

"I heard that those underground dwarves are cruel and bloodthirsty, we went deep this time, and we don't know if we can come back." Level 3 Magician Maxim. Hansen is obviously not very emotional. This magician belongs to the typical academy type mage, and although years of magic cultivation have given him a high level of magical attainment, it has also made his body skinny, and there is no trace of white on his pale face.

"If we can come, we can go back. After all, we're not here to fight. But if I could have a mount, at least my legs would be lighter. "Leonardo. Beirut also has some complaints.

"Don't complain, the mounts not only emit smells, but also emit movements, once we encounter those underground dwarves, even if we can hide in time, those mounts may not be able to do it, and when that time comes, we may not be able to come back." Hathaway said lightly.

"It can't be that coincidental, right? The forest is not devoid of animals. "Maxim. Hansen took it for granted.

Hathaway glanced at him, the magician obviously lacked the most basic common sense, "Not to mention whether there will be horses in the forest, trained mounts are completely different from wild animals, even an ordinary hunter can distinguish them, not to mention those insidious and cunning underground races." ”

The conversation quickly turned to the racial inferiority of the underground races, and Hathaway didn't go any further, the tent was set up, and she got up and set up a few magic traps around the camp, and then sprinkled a circle of potions around it...... On the one hand, it is to isolate the smell on their bodies, and on the other hand, it is also to deter the animals.

"Burliman. From tomorrow onwards, please take His Excellency Hansen with you. Hathaway said to the crowd when she returned.

She ordered one of the two warriors, a great silver swordsman, tall and burly, with a chicken-like magician on the way, there was absolutely no problem.

Maxim. Hansen glanced at Burriman, who was not short, but he was too thin, weighing only the weight of a teenager. But thinking of the scene of being pulled by the arm of Burriman like a child, he immediately felt a palpitation, shook his head again and again, and said, "Forget it." I don't need this special care. Walking on the ground is more suitable for me, and it also has the effect of exercise. ”

"There's a river ahead, and we can set up a raft as soon as we get to the river. This can be a little faster. You can also take a break. "Next to Steyn. Kasan said suddenly.

"It's a good building. I had a raft in my storage space, which was enough for us. And we can use magic to speed up the raft's movement. Hathaway said.

"That's right, I can cover the raft with an invisible magic. Even if the underground dwarves passed by, they wouldn't notice. "Maxim. Hansen was a little excited.

"Mr. Cassan, the Alpine Kingdom does not produce food and does not have any luxuries, could it be that those underground dwarves are really the so-called 'revenge' and attack the Alpine Kingdom?"

Hathaway pondered this question for a long time, but never received a real answer, the only clue was that the slave catchers of the Alpine Kingdom had entered the Shadows to capture slaves, and some say that this was the reason that angered the underground dwarves, but there was no reason for them to start establishing a stronghold on the surface after destroying the country, which was rare in the past.

Steyn. Kasan hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, at first we thought that the blind actions of the slave catchers in the kingdom had angered the underground dwarves. But then I heard...... It seems that an iron ore mine has been found in the southern foothills of the Alps, and I am afraid that the iron ore is the root of the disaster that destroyed the country. ”

"Impossible, right?"

Leonardo. Beirut had a surprised look on his face: "As far as I know, the place where the underground dwarves live is one of the most mineral-rich areas in the Dark Regions, and a single iron mine will make them make a big move?" ”

"Maybe it's not just iron ore?"

Burliman's companion Hollingsim suggested another possibility: "The underground races have also carried out tentative attacks and plundered before, but they will not establish a stronghold on the ground, this time the action is somewhat unexpected, maybe those iron mines have associated ores?" ”

Associated mines?

It's not impossible, but what kind of associated mines can allow them to stay on the ground at the risk of being counterattacked by humans?

Everyone was lost in thought.

It's okay to live in the forest, but it's easy to reveal their whereabouts, so they use a magic potion that uses a special catalyst to produce constant heat, and there are no obvious signs of sound, smell, smoke, etc. Of course, the food was made with no regard for taste, and they all brought bread and jerky with them, and Hathaway made a soup stock, as long as the water was added and reheated, it was a fairly delicious soup.

"I've got some fruit here." See Maxim. Hansen frowned and nibbled on the bread as if he were taking medicine, and Hathaway smiled and took out some apples and distributed them to the others.

These apples are all from the fairy garden, and they are all red, large, round, and fragrant, and they look mouth-watering, and they are indeed more delicious than those breads.

"Do you know what I want most right now?" While nibbling on dry food, Leonardo. Beirut asked with a heavy sigh.

"The annual harvest festival banquet, I'm afraid that even if the task ends soon, we won't be able to catch up?" Burleman asked.

"Hehe, you've thought of that too." Leonardo. Beirut laughed.

It was already late September, and even if they rushed back immediately, they would not be able to return to Heidelberg in time, not to mention that the purpose of their mission had not yet been achieved. It is impossible to return now.

"It's okay, when you come back this time, His Majesty the Emperor may prepare a celebration banquet for you." Hathaway said.

"It's different."

Leonardo. Beirut shook his head seriously: "At the harvest festival banquet, the beauties are cloudy, and at the celebration banquet, most of them are some old-fashioned old men, and there is no comparison at all." ”

Tsundere!

This is a typical tsundere!

The crowd unanimously despised him...... Maybe the celebration will not be as lively as the former, but it is a symbol of honor and cannot be compared at all.

"Mr. Burliman, you have just come from Heidelberg, what's the news over there?" Leonardo. Beirut began to change the subject.

"News? As I was leaving, I heard that someone had been sent from the Church of Nature to investigate the cause of Bishop BeyoncΓ©'s death. Burriman shook his head. (To be continued......)
