The owner of the voice slowly walked out of the dark corner, and with the sound of rattling metal footsteps, Gordon and Faria gradually saw the big thing in front of them.

It was a tall humanoid machine, two thick legs as tall as a man. It has a total of eight upper limbs, the smallest of which are completely modeled after human arms, and the five fingers are flexible and slender enough to perform a variety of delicate tasks. The other six arms are equipped with tools such as saws, hammers, and pliers.

Although there is some metal rust on the outside, this machine is in good working condition as a whole, and it is not a building life. Because it has no soul of its own. ** It is a small creature that sits in a gap in the ribcage of the chest. He was supposed to be half the height of a human, but he had two heads so rare that the term "two-headed ogre" blurted out when Falia first saw him.

"Little girl! It's rude to mistake someone else's race! You have to apologize, apologize! On the shoulder of the creature controlling the humanoid machine, the one on the left has an unkempt white head, showing an extremely angry expression. His body danced and danced, and at the same time, he also led the eight arms of the entire humanoid machine to make the same movement.

"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Halfling. My companion just didn't see clearly because the light was too dim. Gordon said hurriedly. It is better to leave this kind of negotiation to him.

Although a halfling with two heads is really an imaginary existence, now that the facts are already in front of him, Gordon can only regard it as another unusual creation of this wonderful world, and treat it with a normal heart.

"It's okay, my brother is a stupid racist, don't bother with him." The halfling body said, with a big bald head on the right side.

It should have been him just now, greeting Gordon who entered this basement. The halfling man sitting on a humanoid machine in front of him was wearing a white robe, his figure was thin and thin, and his face with two heads was covered with ravines and wrinkles left by the years, and he didn't know how old he was.

"I'm not a racist, I just think halflings are smarter and more civilized than other races!" The younger brother argued.

"That's the racist ......," Gordon complained to himself.

The bald head of his brother's identity showed an apologetic expression and said to Gordon: "Please understand, he is this temper." ”

"You're such a gel monster, brother, why do you want to apologize to this human who has nothing but height? Oh, I forgot, I'm now ** in control of the Asabri One, taller than this human, ahahaha! ”

"If I'm a softass, you're an incorrigible fool! We need their help to defeat that guy, you know? If you get angry and leave, I'll see what you do! The elder brother was obviously enraged by his younger brother's words, and not only scolded him, but also slammed into it.

It's really interesting to watch two heads on a body fight there.

Gordon and Faria weren't angry, but just looked at the two brothers in front of them with interest.

There are three sub-races of the halfling race. The first is the most common type of light-footed halfling in cities of other races. Their brisk steps take them wherever they wish to travel. They are socially adept, well-informed, flexible, and enjoy business and acting. If they yearn for something a little more exciting, the Lightfoot Halfling will often choose to become a wanderer and join an adventuring party. The lucky coin that Gordon had on his adventures before, the wanderer Sour Pear in the team, was a light-footed halfling.

Rather than the light-footed halflings, who have no permanent residence and move in a year or two at most, another subspecies, the strong-hearted halflings, are more inclined to form an orderly and disciplined settlement and live together. A strong-hearted halfling is stronger than a light-footed halfling, and is also stronger-willed. In the face of a vicious wolf, the light halfling will most likely choose to use their agile pace to escape, while the strong heart halfling will take up arms and fight back resolutely. In addition, the rate of spawning spellcasters among the Strongheart Halflings is also the highest among the three Halfling subspecies.

As for the third subspecies, the deep rock halfling, it is very mysterious. They usually live in remote hills or mountainous areas, and use their own caves as dwellings, forming small close-knit settlements of up to ten or twenty households. They devoted themselves to the study of metal smelting and machine-building techniques that had been lost in antiquity, and had little contact with the outside world except for essential trade contacts.

The strange halfling with two heads in front of him, Gordon, judging from his solid knowledge of ethnology, should be a strong-hearted halfling, while his younger brother is a deep rock halfling.

The offspring of halflings are not the same as humans and do not appear to be mixed. If two halflings of different subraces marry and have children, their offspring can only be the subrace of either parent. A couple of deep rock halflings and strong heart halflings give birth to two children, either deep rock halflings, or both strong heart halflings, or one deep rock halfling and one strong heart halfling.

So even if the two brothers in front of them are of different races, Gordon will not suspect that their father is a pick-up man.

"Oh, by the way, we've been talking for so long, and we haven't made a formal introduction. I'm Harfort. Baggins, this is my weird-tempered brother, Fallow Head. Baggins. The bald head on the right said, "Young mage of the Terrans, what about you?" ”

Gordon noticed that the other party called himself "Ternium", which was the name given to humans by halflings a long time ago. It seems that the other party is really old, and even enough to be a living fossil of linguistic evolution.

"My name is Gordon. Freeman. This beautiful lady is called Falia. Frost Heart. Antelo. As for the girl who is still sleeping on Tamsyn's float saucer, it is my sister Xie Ona. Freeman. ”

After greeting each other, the halfling brothers, who used the same body, took control of the huge humanoid machine and led Gordon and Falia to another passage.

Gordon could feel that the huge machine piloted by the other party was emitting active arcane energy. This should be an outstanding work that combines mechanical engineering and magic to create a zào. It's much more complicated than a normal crafting creature like a golem. Ordinary mages would never be able to do such a thing.

This halfling, or these two halflings, is not simple.

"We need help." The elder brother Harford said to Gordon in the "clanging" sound of mechanical movement: "I'll show you something later, and then talk about the details of the matter slowly." ”

"How can you help with this? Why did you find us, can you explain it clearly. Faria couldn't help but ask. Ever since meeting the eccentric halfling brothers, she's been confused.

"I think this should really be explained thoroughly." Gordon agreed.

"Hey, didn't that damn Whitebeard mage get you here without explaining anything?" The hot-tempered younger brother Farohide shook his unkempt white head and said angrily.

The elder brother hit the younger brother hard with his bald head: "Pay attention to your tone and show a little respect to the ** teacher of Sepstin, stupid brother!" ”

"Brother bastard, if you hit me with that hard bald head again, I'll ......"

"What about you?"

"I ......," the younger brother fell silent. Obviously, he felt that he was no match for his brother in the exchange of sibling feelings such as cranial collision.

"Humph!" The younger brother Falohyde simply snorted, then turned his head away from his brother.

The elder brother Harford continued to say to Gordon: "Master Cypstine has important things to do, and he lacks skills, so he can't tell you the ins and outs of the matter in great detail, so I'll answer your questions now, Master of the Terrans." ”

"Let's tell me who I am. My brother and I are both court mages of the Kingdom of Sedin and ordnance officers of the Apros Thunder Guard. In the Battle of the Black Spider Cave......" When the place name "Black Spider Cave" was mentioned, the bodies shared by the two brothers trembled significantly, and the entire humanoid machine also trembled.

The Black Spider Cave is not a scary place. The terrible thing is that this was the place where one of the most tragic battles took place on the entire Ancient Road. Gordon had read about this history in books, so he could understand why the halfling brothers had a feeling of uneasiness when they recalled the Black Spider Cave.

"In that battle, the Black Dragon Temodaros led the pursuers of the Dorag Kingdom and fought to the death against the Broken Queen's troops led by the Silver Dragon Dona Belis. Except for the two of us, everyone else, including the entire Apros Thunder Guard, was killed. We defeated the Black Dragon and completely dismantled the other party's plan to hunt down the last bloodline of the Sedin Kingdom, but before dying, the Black Dragon used his heart as the core and his body as the casting material to cast a legendary spell of his own creation, 'Seed of Life of Temodaros'......"

Hearing this, Gordon couldn't help but frown. The legendary black dragon is terrifying enough. What's even more terrifying is that this legendary black dragon is also a legendary mage!

Harford took control of the humanoid machine and walked ahead. Not noticing Gordon's expression, he continued: "This spell destroyed Temodalus's body, but his soul was preserved. Note that it is not an undead, but a special life form with no body. What's even more terrifying is that the heart of the black dragon is still intact, and it can absorb the flesh and blood of living beings through the power of guò spells, and then use the heart as a seed to regrow an intact black dragon body!
