Chapter 19: The Gnomes 1

It doesn't seem like anyone has gone upstairs just now, so who has been here?

Su Ziyu silently pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and then quietly pushed open the door of his room, only to look at him and couldn't help frowning, because his backpack had been moved, and the position of the BTL82M anti-materiel sniper rifle had also changed a little. It seems that someone tried to pick it up, but put it back because it was too heavy.

There was no one in the room.

But Su Ziyu closed his eyes instantly, he concentrated on maximizing his perception ability, and then stabbed towards the dark corner in an instant.

Bang.

The wooden cabinet next to him fell out of thin air, and Su Ziyu heard a very slight footsteps, and he stabbed it again, but this time the position dropped by fifty centimeters. He had spotted the thief who had infiltrated his room, and it didn't appear to be a human, but an intelligent creature about the height of a goblin.

"Don't kill me!" A childlike scream was heard, and then an extremely short dwarf appeared in front of him, and he rolled around in embarrassment, took off his cloak and said, "I'll give you everything back." ”

"Please don't kill me!"

The blade stopped on the tip of the other party's nose, and Su Ziyu tilted his head to look at the strange creature in front of him and asked, "Dwarf?" ”

"Hmm." The little one was so frightened that he didn't move.

He was only about one meter two or three tall, with pale skin like a corpse, a slightly twisted body, short legs but long hands, arms longer than knees, messy black hair, a large head, and a weather-beaten face.

This dwarf was barefoot, and his feet were dirty, and those marks were left by him.

"Why are you stealing my stuff?" Instead of withdrawing her weapon, Suziyu withdrew her light gray cloak with a bit of disgust, which had been pierced by a gnome and even stuck to the dirt.

This is for people of normal human height, and the most he holds is on his body.

"I ......" The dwarf in front of him looked a little frightened, and his eyes rolled and said, "I know this." It's a witch's thing. ”

He was silent for a moment.

Then, as if giving up resistance, he said, "Okay." I'll tell you all. But you can't hurt me. ”

Su Ziyu glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes." But you'll have to return the stolen gems first. ”

The dwarf in front of him suddenly wrinkled his face when he heard this, and he reluctantly took out five or six gems from his pocket, and muttered: "These gems are useless for you to hold as a human being, but if you give them to me, you can make powerful magic weapons." ”

Su Ziyu stretched out his hand and snatched the gem, he took out a ruby and threw it, "Okay." Go ahead. ”

"If I'm satisfied, I'll give you one."

The dwarf's eyes moved up and down with the gem, and his expression seemed to be greedy, and he thought for a moment, "I know someone. ”

"That's not right."

"It's supposed to be a big goblin."

"His name is Peak."

"It's my former companion. He has a cloak that is exactly like you, and can also make people invisible, which he got from the witch. ”

"He's from the Dream Forest."

"You're a human and certainly don't know this place. It is the land of witches, and there are many goblins living there, and the existence of witches is like the white queen of your human kingdom. Peak sneaks out of the Dream Forest, with a little girl and a talking squirrel with him. ”

"We've traveled together in the North, and we've infiltrated the Banshee's lair and killed evil minotaurs and mountain giants."

"But then they went south."

"It is said that I want to see the White Queen of your human kingdom. I never saw them again. ”

The dwarf in front of him was chattering, looking a little similar to Peak.

Peak?

When he heard Peak's name, Su Ziyu's expression couldn't help but change, he listened carefully to the dwarf in front of him, and then said, "A big goblin, a little girl, and a talking squirrel?" ”

"Yes." The dwarf nodded honestly and said, "That squirrel likes to curse people. ”

"The most annoying thing is that I can't scold it."

Su Ziyu continued to ask, "What does that little girl look like?" ”

"I don't remember much." The dwarf moved his steps slightly and took half a step back, away from the sharp tip of the knife, and said cautiously: "In my eyes, human beings all look similar, but I remember that little girl had beautiful long silver-white hair. It is said that only the White Queen has such a hair color among humans. ”

The Witch of Winter?

With a thoughtful expression, Su Ziyu withdrew his weapon and said, "What's your name?" ”

"York-Doolin." The dwarf raised his head and said.

He seemed to be quite proud of his name, and was the surname Durin remarkable among the gnomes?

"It's really a witch's thing." Su Ziyu's tone softened a lot, and he said softly: "It should be the cloak that Peak took away at the beginning." I know Peak, too. ”

"I'm from the Dream Forest."

York-Doolin's expression was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but ask, "Really?" You're not lying to me, are you? ”

"How's Peak?"

"Is he okay?"

"He also said that he would come to me to play when he had time, and it turned out that it has been ten years."

Su Ziyu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally said slowly: "He's fine." But there are some things that can't be left, and I left the Dream Forest this time to find the White Queen, and the witches have some trouble asking her for help. ”

"That's right." York-Durr scratched his head and said, "No wonder you have this cloak." ”

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Su Ziyu thought for a while and said, "I need to go to the royal capital." Do you know the road? ”

"Yes." York-Durr looked at the jewel in Suziyu's hand and replied, "But I can only send you to the Bol River, for for some reason I can't go south." ”

After speaking, he said cautiously, "Can you order me something to eat?" ”

"I want blood sausage, porridge and beer."

"It's so bad to find something underground!"

Su Ziyu nodded that it was okay, and asked casually, "Do you usually live underground?" ”

"yes." The gnome in front of him nodded and said, "Most of the gnomes live underground, but there are very few gnomes in the north, and there may be a little more in the south." ”

"I really miss the food Peak."

"It's delicious!"

The dwarf had an expression of reminiscence, and I have to say that the food made by the big goblins was indeed delicious.

"You're waiting for me here." Su Ziyu glanced at York and said, "I'll go down and ask someone to bring food." ”

With that, he took the cloak of invisibility in his hand.

It's a temptation.

If York escaped, then he was lying and could not be trusted, and if he hadn't, then what he said might be true, and Su Ziyu might have been able to ask him for help.
