Chapter 22: Halfling
In the other direction of the Terror Forest, farther and farther away from the cave, a small piece of wooden mulch was tied with a string tied in the middle, but still pointing to a place, and three old friends were heading in the direction the wooden mulch was pointing
Sister Angel, you should tell Sรน what we are looking for now, while rushing Lu Yundi, ask St. Angel about it, otherwise we don't even know what we are looking for
St. Angel smiled at Yundy and didn't answer her question directly, but turned to the dwarven guardian on the other side and asked, "There is a poem in Spiruk, I don't know if you've heard it."
Spiruk gave her a questioning look
The first is the dragons
covered the sky;
And then there are the dwarves
beating drums in flames;
Here comes the elves again
can only climb big trees;
And then there are the orcs
dancing on the rocks;
Don't mention the humans
Nothing
All races
Eventually, they will perish
Then the whole world
It's our world
Saint-Angel sings the song while beating the rhythm
Stop--stop Yundi's face is very ugly, Sister Anqi, what kind of nonsense song are you singing, saying that the dragons, dwarves, elves, orcs, and humans are all extinct, and only they are left, which is too arrogant and evil
Are you talking about the halflings, and Spiruk listened to the hymn, and then he stopped, he had no idea that St. Angel would suddenly bring up such an unrelated topic
Sister Angel, I'm asking what you're looking for, why do you suddenly sing inexplicable poetry and talk to Spiruk...... Yundy was a little impatient, but she quickly stopped talking, for she saw St. Angel make a gesture to her, please be quiet
Is it okay to listen to Spyruk first, and St. Angel said with a smile
Although she didn't know what the Radiant Saint meant, Yun Di still cast her expectant eyes on the dwarf
Facing the burning gaze of the two ladies, Spiruk lowered his head in embarrassment: Halfling...... Well, I can't think of anyone remembering these relatives of our dwarf race now, but they are now extinct, and when it comes to this, the dwarves can't help but sigh a little, almost two thousand years ago
Then the dwarf gushed about the history of the halflings to the two ladies
The Halflings are an ancient race of the same origin as the Dwarves, as their names are only half as tall as humans, although they are blood relatives of the Dwarves, but they look like human children compared to the old Dwarves and Halflings, and they are quite good-natured and friendly, as they are very intelligent and like to devise all kinds of tricks and pranks without malice
No matter how difficult and difficult things may be, halflings are very optimistic, they firmly believe that things will work out in their favor (often with the idea of pie in the sky), which has become their typical thinking: self-confidence, determination, sometimes petty theft, like to play clever tricks, such as speculation, etc
The other halflings are very fond of money, they think that the invention of money is the only commendable thing in the world, they especially like to make money, so they are also very business-minded, but unlike their blood relatives, the dwarves, the halflings never accumulate money, so they always spend it on gifts, parties, and purchases, so a halfling may often be rich one day before and will be penny the next day
However, the most commendable thing is that the halfhuman body is very righteous, they are unconditionally loyal to their friends, a halfling rarely makes friends in their lives, and because of this, they will cherish friendship quite much, once a person is regarded by a halfling as their friend, then the halfling will show unreserved trust and enthusiasm to him (her), not only will they not let go of their hands and reach into their friend's wallet, but they will even help this friend at any cost
At the height of the power of the Halflings, there were Halfling villages in almost every country, but it was this once-thriving race that was suddenly wiped out almost 2,000 years ago
However, from that poem, it is known that the halflings are very ambitious, they want to exterminate other races, and then become the sole ruler of Olofe, Yundi is not impressed by the history of the halflings, but is obsessed with what the poem says
This is not the case, and the poem does not indicate that the race or individuals of the halflings are evil, because they always do not offend me, and they do not offend me, and they do not have overt hostility towards humans or other races, because they often have a smug vision: they feel that these clumsy and gigantic creatures (humans, elves, etc.) will sooner or later destroy themselves, and the rest will be theirs
Oh, so that's the case, Yun Di looks like he has just woken up from a dream, but it's really ironic, they are waiting for the demise of other races, but they didn't expect to destroy themselves first
Although the historical record of the halfling died from a plague that only spreads among them, no one knows what the real reason for the demise of the halfling was back then, and Spiruk Ironforge shook his head with some sighs, not to mention that I had never seen a halfling, but my great-grandfather had been in contact with a halfling when he was young
Yes, the disappearance of the halflings is a huge loss for the three continents of Olopa, and Saint-Angel nodded and said, Although halflings are not good at fighting, just like you dwarves are born blacksmiths and warriors, they are born to be excellent merchants, architects, and mechanism designers, in fact, there are many magnificent buildings and famous mechanisms that are made by halflings
Your short-lived human seems to know a lot about halflings, and Spyruk turned to St. Angel and grabbed the long red whisker that was clutched into countless braids
Of course, there was a hint of remorse in St. Anqi's eyes, and among the secrets passed down from generation to generation by our Radiant Saintess line, there was a memory about halflings, what should we say, maybe the demise of the halflings back then was more or less indirectly caused by our saintes
What the other two people were taken aback when they heard this
This is the debt of our saint to the halflings, and if it weren't for the fact that we were the ancestors who wanted to help me, the halflings would never have been extinct...... But I'm afraid that this debt will never be repaid by our saints
Sister Angel, what the hell is going on
It all starts with the history of our saintly family
