Chapter 21: The Crystal Ball Liaison (Part II)

"Edith?!" Soros's voice trembled visibly when he sensed the arrival of the sparrow, "Oh no—poetry, Miss Poet!" Listen to me! ”

"I think it's more appropriate to use 'explanation' for this place, Soros."

"Shut up, Abel! Is your sense of crisis eaten by dogs? ”

"Dogs? Well, good offer, little black cat, then as a punishment for stealing, put you in a kennel for a few days to reflect. ”

"Oh, lo and behold, the warriors of the clan say you have to worry about this......"

With the screams of the black cat, the interruption of the organists, the playful sneer of Miss Poet, and the complaint of the dwarven prince spread out one after another from the crystal ball on the palm of the little girl's hand, Urs, Thea, Dorothy and Bellinglis, who were in the carriage on this side of the surface world, suddenly looked at each other on the ground, looked at each other for a moment, and then Urs frowned slightly and tried to speak to the underground world on the other side of the crystal ball:

"Hey, wait, I'm talking about you-"

However, the noise continued.

"No, don't! The great Lord Soros cannot be defiled by the paws of a dog in a dog cage! Abel, help me! Quick, throw me into your tin head and hide! ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Poet, I have no idea what this thief cat is doing, and you can do with him as you please."

"Betrayal in less than a second! Is the friendship between us so superficial? ”

"No, Soros, I think this is the best proof that I have initially comprehended the emotion of 'humor', and I am one step closer to my dream."

"I'm afraid the emotion you initially comprehended is 'cruel'!"

"Hey, that, wait a minute, Crow, are you really going to ......" Thea sat next to Urs and turned her head, the silver-haired wolf ears listened to the voices of her companions, and for a moment she couldn't help but be a little worried about the safety of the little black cat.

Well, although the word safety seems to be a bit too much here, it is ......

“…… Oh? Isn't this Thea, our docile and lovely white wolf girl? After the wolf-eared girl finished speaking, the other side of the crystal ball was silent for two seconds, and then the hoarse voice of Miss Poet was heard again, which was both arrogant and pleasant, and she couldn't help but sneer, "Poof, your character is still so innocent and simple, or should I say that my acting skills have improved again?" ”

"Acting skills?" Thea blinked, her white wolf ears twitching at her silver hair.

"That said, I'll admit I'm joking, you don't have to worry about what I'm really going to do to some briquette-like thief cat, kind-hearted Miss Reverend." The raven's voice suppressed the smile, sounded as if it had deliberately adjusted its breathing and tone, and then became serious, "Alright, let's get down to business, let's talk about the second thing in this contact." Thea, are you all over there? You, the little girl, the sorceress, and our captain. ”

"We're all here, Jay." Urs turned his gaze back to look at the road, turned his back to the crystal ball behind him and replied, "What about you over there?" Stonefist doesn't seem to be there? ”

"I didn't ask you, Your Excellency. But it doesn't matter. Raven Bird replied from the underground at the other end of the crystal ball, "Stonefist is discussing religious philosophy with Zeken at the town hall right now, and it seems that he intends to use the power of faith to solve the problem of the cowardice of many underground dwarf soldiers. Leave that aside for now, since you're all there, I'll be blunt about the second thing about this contact - as it stands, I'm advocating an expansion of Palomites' dominance in the Hive Labyrinth. ”

"What? Rule? Urs snapped out of the corner of his eyes, almost thinking he had misheard, "Slow, Raven, what do you want to do with the city of Palomithe?" ”

"Well, maybe the current state of Palomet City is still far from the status quo of ruling the Hive Labyrinth, but you should understand that the rules of the underground are very different from your surface world." The raven's voice seemed to have anticipated Urs's surprise at the beginning, and it was not surprising, "As a middle world, the hive labyrinth is slightly more reassuring than the dark region in terms of danger, but in the end, it is also a part of the underground world, and the living environment of the underground world is full of straightforward cruelty of survival of the fittest. ”

"So if you want to survive in the Underworld for a long time, the city of Palomite must expand, and maintaining the status quo is nothing more than a slow suicide of self-deception. You mean this? ”

"You're sharper than I expected, Captain, and it looks like I should have treated you differently from ordinary brutes."

"Compliments are avoidable, anyway, I didn't guess you wrong, right?"

"That's right. In the underworld, whether it's the hive labyrinth in the middle layer or the deeper dark regions, the law of the jungle is as natural as eating and drinking, and only power can make those who fear you surrender, a lesson I think the underground gnomes we saved have experienced it once in the hands of Barend's Grey Dwarf army. ”

"And what about the means? What are you going to do to expand the city of the little ones? ”

"Putting aside the wars that the new pygmy army is not yet capable of waging, trading with the surface world and the dark regions, looting or conquering the nests of weak monsters near the city, and exploring new mineral resource points in areas occupied by powerful monsters are all beneficial to the city, and by the way, the comprehensive combat ability of the new dwarf army is exercised."

“…… I see, Raven. Intellectually, I agree with you. After listening to Miss Poet's statement on the other end of the crystal ball, Urs thought about it for a moment and expressed his attitude, "But, you must first agree to me about your expansion plans...... No, it should be another thing that promised the underground gnomes of the city of Palomites. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Even as a benefactor of the underground gnomes, you must never take actual control of the city away from them, even if inadvertently."

"Heh, if you're worried about this kind of hidden danger, then you might as well focus more on your journey, after all, I'm different from a fool like Miera." Raven Sparrow sneered, her disdain coming out of the crystal ball, "What else? Are you afraid that I will do something deviant? ”

"No, just a reminder, there's nothing else." Urs flicked the reins, and the horses in control of the cart followed the merchant squad in front of him through the forked junction ahead, and he couldn't help but recall that his group had arranged for her to stay in the city of underground gnomes because of her unique background.

As the second daughter of the pure blood of the Zelgon family, Miss Drow, whose real name is Edith, is still very prestigious in the underground world, and the gray dwarf officers who surrendered to everyone and Miera's troops are in a sense relatively safe only if they are in her hands, and Moredi, as the new mayor of Palomite City, has also publicly invited her to participate in the future development of the city as an auxiliary political advisor.

Moredi and Zeken are now the political and religious leaders of Palomet City respectively, and the underground dwarf city, which has only been liberated from the Grey Dwarf army for less than half a year, cannot withstand too many tosses, so their status in the city cannot show the slightest sign of wavering.

Urs agrees with the Sparrow, and warns her not to do anything out of the ordinary, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"But then let's talk about the third thing." After talking about the second thing that Miss Poet raised, the young man leaned his neck, moved his neck, and kept his back to the crystal ball in a driving position looking forward at the road, "Didn't you say that there are three important things in this contact?" The first thing is the training of the new army of gnomes, the second is the expansion plan of the city of Palomites, and what is the third thing? ”

"The third thing ......"

"Well, I said the agency man, let me tell myself about this matter." Through the voice communication established by the crystal ball, Koto's voice suddenly interrupted Abel's voice this time, and snatched the right to speak more tactfully, "After all, what, the third more important thing on our side is originally related to me, and in a sense, it is better to be said by myself...... Ah, yes, and that should be my own. ”

"Your Royal Highness?" Bellingis held the crystal ball in both hands, and her small ears suddenly heard the excitement that belonged to the dwarven warrior, as if she had an idea of trying to organize the language and state it in an orderly manner, but no matter what, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart...... That feeling.

Yes, the dwarves are excited, excited by the third thing that is about to be mentioned, so the language is not well organized, and even a little verbose.

His heart beat faster, and he paused, and chose to take a deep breath to slow down, and after a few seconds he continued:

"Uh, that, I mean friends...... Well, friends, the most cherished friends of the clan warriors, good brothers, good friends! With Daddy Oladin and Mother Dedaline on top, the warriors of the Hearthfire Clan want to tell you right away that the time was last night...... The Hearthfire Crown has finally answered me! ”(https:)
