Chapter 40: The Grey Dwarf
In this way, after confirming the next goal, the protagonists Succubus and Tivele continue on their way. Of course, until the end, the protagonist Succubus did not eat the starchy dumplings.
You can't live on water alone. Especially for the protagonist succubus, who is used to living a life of poverty and luxury. Hungry or something, it's already a memory of the previous life.
To be honest, it doesn't feel good.
And as they continued to advance towards the gray dwarf city-states to the west, in Sarestil, groups of dark elf troops began to attack.
Originally, the twelve families in the ruling parliament wanted to suppress this matter, and what they did was unknown.
But in Dark Elf society, betrayal and betrayal are completely commonplace. The news of the main character's succubus and Tivele's elopement soon spreads - who Tiffel is and how. Everyone doesn't care. But after learning that the main character, the Succubus, a legendary, badly injured demon, is not far outside the city, the whole city is boiling.
Legendary, this is the superpower that can truly turn a battle, change the balance of power, and bring a family to rise or perish.
Compared to the twelve families who have entered the ruling parliament. Those depressed, power-hungry and crazy little families naturally have a higher desire for the protagonist β demon.
It's like when it comes to food, a gourmand and a beggar think differently. The big family just invested some elite forces to find the protagonist succubus. But many small families are close to desperately taking out all their forces and strength. Everyone is like a trainer looking for a glitter PokΓ©mon, looking for the main character succubus with a hundred times more energy.
The "Operation Save Trist" was in full swing. The whole of Sarestil was in a miasma, and the aftermath was empty. More than 30,000 dark elves ran half in one go. Along with them were large numbers of orcs, goblins, and ogres who were slaves.
For this qiΔ, the protagonist Succubus naturally does not know. However, for safety reasons, he and Tiffelle's also sped up. There was basically no rest along the way. Even eating and drinking are carried out in the process of moving forward.
The time of the day has passed. Both of them knew. The pursuers are on the way, and if you don't hurry up, you may encounter danger. But then again, even if you don't count the dark elf chasers, you must be prepared to encounter danger anytime and anywhere in the dark region.
Speaking of which. We're almost in the city-state of the gray dwarves, right? β
As he walked, the main character, the succubus, turned his head and looked at Tiffelle and asked.
"That's how it should be in terms of distance. But how do you know. β
"Feeling." The main character, the succubus, replied, "Of course, there are some references - the marks of the knife and axe in the nearby tunnel are obvious. At first glance, it looks like someone has processed it. Or rather, it's simply artificially created. And in general, except for dwarves. I don't know of any other race that is so interested in making holes...... Well, pangolins or marmots? β
"......" Tiffelle did not answer. Just silently continue to move on. After walking for a while, he spoke again: "The next road." Be careful. If there is a patrol of gray dwarves, try not to be spotted. β
"yes, I know." The main character, the succubus, nodded. He said that he could understand - the relationship between the gray dwarves and the dark elves was not good enough to welcome a strange dark elf to their territory. And if you attract riots and attention, you will expose your whereabouts. So, choosing stealth here is the best strategy.
The main character, the succubus, snapped his fingers as he said this. Then the body went up and floated into the air.
"Then there will be no sound of walking."
"Snap your fingers......"
"This is my modified magic gesture. Pretty good, right? The main character, the succubus, asked.
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay. But I really think it's good. β
"Don't speak."
"Well, don't speak. But don't you feel lonely this way? We can speak quietly...... By the way, I remember that you dark elves have a unique sign language. It's very useful when you're on a secret mission, so why don't you teach me? β
ββ¦β¦ Wait for time. Not now, though. β
Tivele's answer surprises the main character, the succubus, - or very much.
He didn't expect Tiffel to say yes. This one is simply amazing. It's a miracle.
"- So, don't speak." Before the main character, the succubus, excitedly wants to pick up Tiffelle and go around in two circles. Tiffelle stopped him.
"Well, don't speak."
That's it. The two of them walked quietly all the way forward, all the way forward. After hearing the voices of the gray dwarves, they quickly hid - the gray dwarves were not quite the same as the average dwarf. But the armament and the way of fighting are no different.
All grey dwarf patrols consist of heavily armored dwarven warriors. The dwarves in their plate armor boots walked with a loud noise. It's like a bunch of moving noise generators, and you can hear their noise from a long distance.
Thanks. Tiffelle and the protagonist Succubus go all the way without being discovered. The vigilance of the main character, the succubus, keeps declining. In the end, it began to be idle again. Tiffelle wanted to say something.
"Hey, Tiffelle, aren't you bored?"
"I don't think so."
"How about we play a game and see who can get the shortest distance from the grey dwarf patrols?"
"Not good."
"Why do you keep a straight face like this? Truth be told, you smile really beautifully. How about a little more smile, girl? β
"......" Tiffelle smiled like before, close to perfect.
"So it's not a smile, it's just a strange expression made by the facial muscles." The main character, the succubus, is disappointed and says, "What can make you really laugh?" β
"Shut up."
"Will you laugh if I shut up?"
"So shut up!"
"Okay, shut up, shut up...... Wait a minute, Tiffelle, what's that thing? The main character, the succubus, said as he pointed his finger at a black rumbling, shaking, and humming ball beside the road.
"I don't know, and I don't need to." Tiffelle replied, "Whatever it is, I don't want to have anything to do with him." β
"Hmm......" The protagonist succubus thought for a moment, then nodded: "I feel the same way." (To be continued......)
