"Hah!"

"Roar!"

Carré and Jorad jumped out of the darkness behind the minotaur and swung their weapons at the minotaur.

The Minotaur was not alarmed, he first raised his arm to protect his eyes, blocking the wooden stick attack in Carré's hand. Then, with the one-handed axe in his other hand, he parryed Chorald's warhammer and kicked Chorad against the wall.

Then he quickly used his hand to block Carré's attack, grabbed Carré's neck with one hand, and hung Carré up.

Jorad sat against the wall and shook his head in confusion, and when he saw this, he picked up his hammer and was about to rush up again, but was stopped by the minotaur.

"Stop! Humans, your friends, she is dangerous right now!! ”

"What did you do to her! Where is she! And also! Let go of Carré! Jorad held up the hammer in his hand and looked at the minotaur in his eyes with a wary expression.

As the Silver Hand, he had seen and heard of these minotaurs. They are a nomadic people on another continent, all of whom are strong, though they rarely appear in the territory of other races.

But because of this, Jorad was even more vigilant.

Because, there is not a single Minotaur who can come out and travel that is not a powerful warrior!

The Minotaur nodded, he first expressed his kindness, and Karley was let go by him. Then, the minotaur also hung his one-handed axe on his belt.

"Your friends, the current situation is not optimistic. I wanted to bring her here, but Baron had been with her, and I couldn't help it. The minotaur looked at Jorad with burning eyes, "If you believe me, I can ....."

"Why should we believe your word! You said you would help us! But you're tying us up here! Carré said angrily.

"Shut up, Carré, listen to the Minotaur." Jorad stopped Carré and motioned for him not to be impulsive.

The minotaur became serious, he straightened up, and said with a solemn face, "I swear to you in the name of the mountain clan. I'll help you get that little girl! ”

"Now, come with me. This is not the place to talk. The minotaur glanced at Jorad and Carré, and then walked down the dark staircase.

"We can't take his word for it, Jorald." Seeing that Jorad was about to follow, Carré had to stop him. "He ....."

"I've seen the Minotaurs, and I know them," Jorad said, turning back to Carré, "and they value their vows more than life, so I trust him." ”

"I know that, too, but that's why we can't trust him!" Carré shook his head and said his suspicions, "Don't you think it's suspicious to have such a minotaur in this environment?" If he takes advantage of the trust we place in him and makes some kind of ......"

"Nothing, Carré." Jorad shouldered his hammer and walked down the dark staircase.

"We had no choice but to trust him. For Anvina's sake—" Jorald's voice came up from down the stairs.

Carré looked at the dark staircase leading to the upper floor, then in the direction they had left, and sighed helplessly.

When Carré came out of the stairs, the Minotaur was sitting around a campfire and watching the flames. Jorad was wandering around the room, checking the murals that were everywhere on the walls of the hall.

"Sit down, human." The Minotaur gestured around the campfire and motioned for them to sit down. Perhaps seeing their hesitation, Traag explained, "Your friends won't be in danger for a while, sit down." There are some things you need to know for. ”

Throwing his hammer around the campfire, Jorad sat down next to it. Carré was anxious, but looking at the minotaur and Jorad's gaze at him, he had no choice but to sit down by the campfire.

"Yesterday, Baron and I were on the observation deck of this castle and saw you fall from the sky. So we went out into the mountains to look for you......"

The Minotaur slowly told the beginning and the end of it all.

"So, Anvena is now controlled by that Baron?" Jorad said thoughtfully, "Baron? A former Alterac aristocracy? ”

"Yes," the minotaur nodded.

"But I still don't understand," Carré said to the fire, returning the thick stick he had been holding in his hand, and watching it smoke and then ignite, "how did she tell you that crystal ball worked?" She doesn't have any mana! ”

Carré looked at the minotaur in bewilderment.

"It was the crystal ball from Naozu that told Baron to do this, and I don't know the rest." The minotaur shook his head, "Perhaps, the poisonous pus knows why. Because this crystal ball was stolen from it by Baron. ”

"Still, it doesn't matter if your friends can use that crystal ball or not. She's going to die because of it. Tragg the Minotaur turned his gaze to Jorad and Carré, "That's what I've been worried about, and I shouldn't let that little guy die because of this. ”

"You're his subordinate, why are you helping us?" Jorad, who had been silent, asked the minotaur out loud, "Don't you think it's a betrayal?" ”

"No, you're wrong human." The minotaur shook his head and explained. "I'm not his subordinate, I'm his friend! However, this Baron ......

There was sadness in the Minotaur's eyes, and he looked down at his hands, "He's not the Baron I used to know, no matter how much I deceived myself. The real Baron Velima Modis died a few years ago! The current one is a monster that is even more ferocious than the undead of the Scourge....."

"Therefore!" The Minotaur looked up at the two of them and said with a firm expression, "I will never let him hurt that little girl!" ”

Perhaps it was the hesitation of the two people in front of him that made the minotaur can't help but say with a pleading accent, "Do as I say, okay?" Give each other a chance. ”

"Okay?"

Carré and Jorad looked at each other, speechless for a moment. After a few minutes, Jorad turned to look at Traag and nodded, "What do you want us to do!" ”

"I need you to trust me......"

The back of the minotaur had long since disappeared into the dark staircase, and Jorad stood wordlessly by the fire watching his vanishing back.

He still had a glimmer of hope for his necromantic friend. Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited here. ”

Carré sat by the campfire, staring at the fire in amazement.

"Rare, isn't it? Such a sincere friendship...... Friendship across races. ”
