Dull footsteps echoed through the woods, and a dwarf was dragging his hunky body toward the depths of the forest.

Heavy pantings kept coming from the dwarf's mouth, his face furrowed, obviously he had exhausted all his strength for running, but his speed was completely unsatisfactory, and the dwarf's natural disadvantage in speed was fully displayed in him at this moment.

The constant wheezing made his throat unbearably dry, his lips had already dried and cracked, and the water in his body had lost a lot of water, and he couldn't last long.

A special energy of death, remaining in this dwarf's body, did not diminish as he ran, his clothes were full of broken marks, and before that, he was treated in a way that he did not want to recall, but it was his actions that disturbed a large number of creatures in the forest.

I don't know how long he ran, and the outline of a town loomed in front of him, this discovery made the dwarf happy, regardless of the exhaustion of his body, he raised his whole strength again, and suddenly increased the speed of running, hoping to reach the town in front of him earlier.

However, the distance to the town in front of him was far longer than the dwarf had imagined, and he could not understand why he had seen the outline of the town for a long time, but when he actually ran to reach the town he saw, there would be such a long distance.

Due to his lack of physical strength, the dwarf rested a few times during this journey, but he never dared to really stop, as if he was being chased by something terrifying, and he had very important information that he had to convey to other creatures.

Finally, the dwarf came to the front of the town, but the sight in front of him disappointed the dwarf.

The gates of the city had long since been wide open, and there were no defenders to be seen, no creatures to be seen, and all that remained was an empty city.

This discovery immediately made the dwarf scold angrily, he knew that his original efforts were in vain, the creatures in the city had already evacuated in advance in order to take refuge, and he didn't care that the necromancer was about to occupy their homeland.

While feeling resentment in his heart, the dwarf seemed helpless to collect his emotions and run towards the depths of the dense forest again, hoping to find other creatures as soon as possible.

This time, the dwarf was not so lucky, and ran wild until he ran out of energy and found no other town.

A feeling of dizziness began to appear in his mind, and at some point, the footsteps that should have been heavy fell on the ground but were fluttering, his expression was in a trance, and the next moment his body was crooked and fell to the ground.

In a blur, he seemed to see a green figure appear in front of him and hold out his hand to him.

The next moment, the dwarf's vision went dark, and he fell into a deep fainting, losing perception of everything around him.

After some time, consciousness returned to the dwarf's body.

Beneath his body, there was a soft touch, and the dwarf saw that he was lying on a large white cotton blanket, a warm and soft touch far from the hardwood board on which he usually lay when he was sleeping.

Looking around, the dwarf noticed that he was in a tent that had been erected, surrounded by thin cloths, herbs and other things, and the surface of the tent was a faint gray-white, not as bright as the cotton blanket below, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

"Are you awake?" With a soft tone, a green figure lifted the curtain hanging from the door of the tent and walked in.

In the eyes of the dwarves, it was a female elf of pure blood. Tall body, with emerald green as the main color of clothing, plus pointed ears, holding a bowl-shaped vessel in his hand.

Even if something happened in the village before, it was still difficult for the dwarf to have any negative thoughts about the elf in front of him.

"Who are you? Did you save me? Also, where is this? ”

A series of questions came from the dwarf's mouth, and as if to hide his uneasiness, he frowned, wanting to know everything that had happened before.

"I don't have the skills to bring you here."

With a chuckle, the elf stepped forward and handed the vessel to the dwarf.

"Your body is still weak, and spells can prolong your life, but they can't take away your own exhaustion. Drink it, it will make your body feel a little better. ”

There was an ethereal word in his ear, and the dwarf hesitated a little, but after all, he felt the kindness of the elf, so he didn't think about it, and drank the crystal liquid in the bowl.

As the crystal liquid entered his abdomen, all kinds of wonderful changes began to occur in his body, and the dwarf only felt a shock in his spirit, and the fatigue in his body was swept away, and his body was full of strength.

After drinking all the liquid in the bowl, the dwarf smacked his lips, still savoring the sweetness that remained between his lips and teeth, not realizing what he was drinking.

Seeing the doubts in the dwarf's heart, the elf explained, "What you just drank is a diluted drop of elven spring, which can help you quickly replenish your missing strength. ”

The elf's words immediately made the dwarf understand how precious he had drunk, even if it was just a drop of elven spring, it was not something that the dwarf could bear at this time.

To treat a precious thing of the level of the Elven Fountain as a consumable to replenish physical strength, before that, the dwarves had never heard of such an honor.

"Thank you......"

Difficult words, spoken from the dwarf's mouth, accompanied by involuntary pauses.

Looking at the elf in front of him, the dwarf had mixed feelings in his heart, on the one hand, he thanked her for helping him, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to forgive those elves because of what had happened before.

After all, it was hatred that prevailed in his heart, diluting the gratitude in the dwarf's heart, and he did not give any kind face to the elf who cared about him, but asked in a deep voice:

"You haven't answered my previous questions, where is this? And who are you? ”

"Take it easy, no matter what happened to you before, at least now you are absolutely safe, and you don't have to worry about being harassed by necromancers, no one dares to mess around here."

The elf spoke softly in a soothing tone, taking the vessel in the dwarf's hand containing the Elven Fountain.

"This is a secluded city, only a short distance from the sacred place of the forest, the Elven King's City, where pilgrims gather, accompanied by migrating creatures. It's been a long time since it's been so lively, what a wonderful sight, don't you think? ”
