The embarrassed dwarf's name was Bernd Hodder, he sat on the bench and took a big sip of wine, the irritable mood in his eyes was slowly subsiding, his will was depressed, his strong body had been worn away by wine and time until only an empty shelf remained, the tendon meat on his body slowly faded, there was a pile of fat on his big belly, and after another sip of wine, his mood became stable.

He sat on the bench, like a pitch-black rock, I could find traces of the battlefield in his eyes, and every warrior who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire had a spirit in his eyes, that is, fearlessness.

Little did I expect to meet a dwarven veteran whose wounds put an end to his military career, and who began to tell me his story.

From the day he was born, Bernd Hodder was stronger than the other dwarven sons, so he was sent to the War College to learn the art of fighting, and was a warrior under the throne of Stan, the seven kings of the Dwarven Kingdom, and also made great achievements, the young Bernd Hodder was infinitely powerful, and after learning the combat skills of berserkers, he was a very famous warrior in the army, and like other dwarves, he liked to drink, like to brag, and liked to fight with people after drinking.

In the winter of that year, the Stan Dynasty of the Dwarven Kingdom experienced heavy snow that had not been seen for decades, and the gray dwarves hiding in the New Siachis Mountains were completely swallowed by the beast tide in the snowy mountains, and some of the gray dwarves fled to the Star Lake Grassland, but they only lived quietly on the Star Lake Grassland for three months, and were forced to the Pai Plateau by the annual one-horned bison migration wave there.

Listening to Bernd Hodder recount the past of the Dwarven dynasty, I learned which of the grey dwarven robbers used to inhabit the Neosiachis Mountains.

The other part of the gray dwarves flowed westward into the territory of the seven kings of the dwarven kingdom, and these gray dwarves lost their supplies for the winter, so they had to rely on plundering the food of other dwarves to withstand this harsh winter.

As a result, the kingdom of Stan was invaded by the Grey Dwarves bandits, and it was under this circumstance that Bernd Hodder traveled with his legions through the territory of the entire kingdom of Stan in the harsh winter, chasing down the Grey Dwarves who had lost their homes and turned into bandits.

In the following years of war, chasing, migration, encirclement, and trapping beasts, the last power of the gray dwarves was also eaten away little by little.

The Grey Dwarven King gathered the last 100,000 Grey Dwarf warriors to capture the Goldworth Mines of the Dwarven King of Pilmara and build strong fortifications there, and the Seven Dwarven Kings convened a military council in the kingdom of Stan to agree on how to conquer the Grey Dwarves of Goldworth.

So the Seven-Nation Alliance, with hundreds of thousands of dwarven warriors, surrounded the Goldworth mine on a rainy summer, and the whole war lasted from summer to winter, Bernd Hodder finally waited for the opportunity and went to the front line of the battlefield with his companions, they were responsible for capturing Area B in the southwest of the Goldworth mine, where they fought hard for three days and three nights.

The mountain fortifications of the Grey Dwarves made the dwarven warriors of the Seven Nations Alliance suffer enough, and throughout the winter, the coalition forces made no progress except for driving the Grey Dwarves into the mountains of the mine.

The dwarven kings decided to end this war as soon as possible, and the years of war were about to completely collapse the economy of the dwarf kingdom, so someone proposed to ask those mercenaries and adventure groups in the human kingdom to hire those mercenaries with fine iron ingots and sophisticated weapons and armor in the dwarf kingdom.

With the advent of the following spring, human mercenaries and adventurers began to flood the dwarven realm in large numbers.

It was at this time that Bernd Hodder met the young Terran ranger Jim, who followed the adventuring party to the dwarven kingdom to pan for gold, and heard that as long as he fought here for a summer, the reward could be fully armed with his whole body, and he could obtain a full covered fine iron armor, which was definitely a great wealth in the Grimm Empire.

Jim's adventuring group was assigned to Bernd Holder's war zone, Jim also liked to drink, and soon the two became drinking friends, and gradually became good friends who talked about everything, Bernd Hodder heard Jim say that there is extremely delicious golden cider and wine in the Grimm Empire, and the taste of ale is different from that of the Dwarven Realm, not so bitter.

Slowly, Bernd Hodder had the idea of going out to the Grimm Empire to take a look. Jim was very hospitable, and promised to take Bernd Hodder to see the prosperity of the imperial capital after the war was over.

It was in the autumn of that year that the battle entered its final stage, and Bernd Hodder was responsible for capturing the arsenal deep in the mine with a battalion of dwarven warriors...... The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and Bernd Hodder's entire assault battalion was almost completely wiped out.

Bernd Hodder's last memory was that a gray dwarf general split his breastplate with a mountain axe, and he felt that not only blood was flowing from his chest and abdomen, but the heart also seemed to be exposed, and the contents of his stomach seemed to have lost their restraint and flowed out of their heads.

When Bernd Hodder woke up, he found himself lying in a cave, and a guy who was covered like a black briquette, grinning at him: "Brother, congratulations, I have snatched you back from the scythe of death......

It was the happy Jim who risked his life from the pile of dead men to drag Bernd Helder into the coal shaft.

It's full of gas and death traps, it's a place that the gray dwarves don't want to set foot in, Jim is a ranger who is good at surviving in dangerous places, in this coal shaft, they eat briquettes, moss, gophers, mushrooms and many other unknown things, and the two have even agreed to explore the whole continent together, Jim also said to Bernd Hodder that he should meet his young and beautiful wife, and this time he will buy her a nice house in the imperial capital when he earns enough money.

The two of them languished in the coal pit for three months before they finally waited for the sound of the horn of the dwarven army's general attack.

When Jim walked out of the coal shaft with Bernd on his back, the blinding sunlight nearly blinded the two of them.

An arrow from the United Legion of the Dwarven Kingdom, in the sunlight, like a cold ice pick, flew from a distance, pierced directly into the skull of Jim's eyebrows, did not die in the adventure, did not die under the giant kiss of the monster, did not die under the butcher's knife and muzzle of the gray dwarf, but died from the accidental wound of his own people. Unfortunately, none of the friends of the adventuring group who came with Jim survived this battle.

Three months later, the dwarf Bernd Hodder recovered from his injuries and took Jim's ashes and Jim's pension with him to the imperial capital of the Grimm Empire.

Bernd never thought that it was also a royal city, but the Grimm Emperor was dozens of times larger than the royal city of Stan, in the vast sea of people, trying to find a civilian woman, in fact, the difficulty can be imagined, after a lot of hardship, finally found Jim's wife Eve, at this time Bernd has spent all the gold coins on his body, except for Jim's ashes and the delicate armor, there is nothing on his body.

Bernd returned Jim's belongings to Eve, and returned to the dwarven kingdom without any entanglement, but luckily ran to the slums of the imperial capital and became an alien beggar. Because he had a dark wound on his body, he was unable to join the adventure group, so his life has been poor.

Finally, one day, after falling ill in the pouring rain, a woman with an umbrella came out of the rain and dragged him home like a dead dog.

The woman was Eve, and Bernd was sent to Eve's house.

Before that, Eve had been living a very poor life, but she was very happy, because she had a purpose in life, she could endure any hardship, and then wait for her husband to come home, and the thugs in the market did not dare to bully her too much, because she had a husband who was a ranger, and Jim was a very good young man on this street, and everyone knew that he was a good man.

But when the news of Jim's death broke, Eve's life fell into a quagmire, and the neighbors began to point fingers at her, saying that her man had left her a huge inheritance while he was dying, and the street thugs began to covet her beauty and began to fight the young widow's idea.

Eve doesn't believe that her husband Jim is dead, and in order to confirm that all this is false news, she secretly follows Bernd every day, until one day Bernd is so depressed that he almost dies of illness on the street, Eve can't help but rescue the husband's former alien friend home.

In this way, a young widow and a dwarf began to live in poverty in the imperial capital.

I can't imagine what kind of relationship they had, or if the dwarf Bernd barely survived on Eve's help, almost a wasted man, ostracized by the people of the Imperial Capital, who was an alcoholic, had a bad temper, seemed to be burly, but had little strength, often quarreled with others, and was beaten by those Imperial Capitalers, and then lost a job with little income.

Later, Eve got a job as a tavern hostess, and the situation improved a little, but the tavern owner Chokak coveted Eve's beauty, and one night he touched Eve's room with the help of wine, and since then, Eve has become Jokak's lover, as well as the waitress and cook in his shop.

And the price that Chokak paid for this was to let Bernd drink some free ale every day, and those ales were mixed with sake lees, even if Bernd didn't drink it, it would be poured into the stinky ditch outside, even if it was this unpleasant ale, Bernd would get drunk almost every day, and he was completely crushed by life.

One of the things that the tavern keeper Zokak used to scold him was: Short man hiding in Eve's crotch!

The story was very long, so Bernd told it for a long time, and he drank all the bottles of fine golden cider, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was not drunk at all, and there was no sadness in his eyes, but he looked up at the starless night sky, and silently ate all the fried potatoes and fish in his arms.

The dwarf Bernd told me that it was the best wine he had ever drunk in his life.

He got up from the bench, opened his eyes wide and said to me, "Thank you for your patience to finish my story, it feels so much better to tell it." Maybe I know the path I have to take in the future, I should go my own way, maybe I should go and see the outside world, I shouldn't be like a blood-sucking leech, attached to Eve's body, she should have a better life. ”

"You deserve a better life too!" I said to him.

I thought he was depressed and would do something negative, but after drinking a bottle of golden cider, he cheered up.

I heard the dwarf Bernd say to me: "That's right, although I am no longer a warrior, but I still have the strength of ordinary people, I should go to the Imperial Capital Airport to find a job fighting against the bag! I will go and take Eve out and leave here with her, if she does not want to leave the Imperial Capital, then it will be considered to say goodbye to her." ”

He waved his fist and said, "That's it, to hell with Master Djokak!"

Bernd dusted off the scraps of fried potatoes from his beard and strode like a tavern in the depths of this alley.

I followed Bernd and walked towards the tavern, thinking to myself: I don't know what happened to the Yerkes scholars, and as I passed the entrance to the park, the stall owner who sold fried potatoes nodded and smiled at me kindly, and it was obvious to her that I was her customer, so she had to smile back at me.

Suddenly Bernd stopped by the bush wall, he was not tall, only about one hundred and thirty centimeters, so standing on the edge of the tree wall, it was not too easy to be discovered, he was staring intently at the pair of figures in the shadow of the alley, silent for a long time, his eyes did not have anxiety, anger, helplessness, loss, sadness and other negative emotions, but a calm face, I quietly walked behind Bernd, he twisted his body slightly, put his finger to his lips, let me whisper.

I stood quietly behind a plane tree, looking curiously, in the shadow of the wall, Yerkes and Eve hugged each other tightly, Yerkes was kissing Eve in an extremely affectionate way, Eve leaned against the red brick wall, her hands around Yerkes's neck, her slender figure was not shorter than Yerkes, she wanted Yerkes to feel her more delicate, put on an upward posture and secretly kicked off the high-heeled leather shoes on her feet.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, her face emitted a pink halo, her snow-white neck and white breasts were dyed pink, she was kissed by Yerkes a little suffocated, the moment of separation would be a few quick gasps, and then the two of them continued to kiss like dry firewood.

Bernd's eyes were clear, as if he was watching his loved ones suddenly become happy, and he was afraid that he would appear recklessly and break everything here.

He seemed a little excited, stroked his chin and beard, and whispered to me: "From the perspective of your Green people, she is very beautiful, right? Originally, I swore to Jim that I would take good care of her, but the opposite happened, she had been taking care of me. ”

Then he looked at me gratefully, and said, "He, like you, doesn't look down on me just because I'm a dwarf, she has a heart of gold." ”

He hesitated for a moment, his heart seemed extremely struggling, and after a long time he said, "I think maybe I should go away quietly like this, you see the happy smile on her face, I really wish I could stay on her face forever." Do you say, Mr. Magician, that these are the loves that bards sing about in their poems?"

Bernd turned and sat down silently against the low bush wall, his eyes brightening as if he were searching for the truth.

I rubbed my head a little awkwardly and said, "Maybe that's it!"

In fact, I can't figure out what is going on in the mind of the Yerkis scholar, and what he loves in the face of a sexy stunner like Eve.
