Chapter 248: Dwarf McGee (Part II)

Coubert's departure represents the end of this terrible small war, and after the merchants, the administrators of the other islands, namely Beavis's brother and brothers, have also sent their eunuchs to give gifts and slaves to show goodwill, although everyone knows the truth of the whole matter, but it is inevitable that some people will try to provoke it, for example, the messenger of Amos, the youngest son of the lord, inadvertently mentioned that Drake of the Golden Lady and their eldest brother can be said to have a very deep friendship, because their eldest brother has always had a great interest in elves, so in recent years, Drake has been looking for elves and half-elves for him。

The souls of the other world have a deep understanding of Drake, after all, this bastard who is a golden jade and a defeated bastard has been busy giving them experience- The first elf he saw after coming to this plane was also found in Drake's dark cabin, an Eya elf from Emerald Forest Island, probably still underage, and the soul from the other plane still vividly remembers the eyes as bright and clear as emerald, and the black hair that glowed metallic blue like a crow's feathers, with slightly curly ends - Although she tried her best to keep her composure, trying not to let others see her fear and panic, she still trembled uncontrollably at the sight of Cremar's gray robes—she thought that Drake had sold her to a necromancer who had come to see the goods.

In the end, Cremar had to cast a spell to calm her down, and Drake's chamber contained several fish-men - fish-man skin paper and some ingredients for spell casting, as well as two human women, a hybrid of a human and a gnome, but they didn't need much help except for the elves of Aya, the fish-men only needed to open the valve of the tank to return to the sea, and the human women and half-bloods were from a squad of adventurers who were captured in the battle against the "Silver Finger" Thieves' Guild. Their teammates were killed because they didn't have much value or were too badly injured, the women were kept because of their good looks, and the half-breed was cut down by Glenn and sold to Drake because he had a deformed face that was half dwarf and half human, because Derek had asked them to leave all the strange-looking things and people, humanoids to show him before they could do it, and the nobles seemed to like this kind of thing, even if it had to be kept in an iron cage to watch, it was a good pastime.

Before Cremar went to talk to Gülen late at night, several of the Eya elves had already walked the sordid streets of Sharp Jaw, unbeknownst to them, including two powerful mages. Magic enveloped them, making them merge with the darkness of the night—the lich was glad to throw them the small package that he had barely managed to shake off, and to the irony of the former undead, even though one of the Eya elves had stared at him for a long time, he still didn't say anything...... Something about him and Emerald Grove Island......

He had almost forgotten about ...... I also thought that after that, I would no longer have anything to do with the Eya elves except for spell materials and experimental items, and it seems that fate is indeed a prostitute.

After dismissing the increasingly disgusting emissary, the former undead turned to the west side of the fortress, where the gnomes lived and Leona and Baldwin lived next to them. Baldwin's arm needs to be observed and adjusted at any time and place according to the requirements of the gnomes, and even if the actual production has not yet begun, the preparation of Baldwin is still indispensable.

As he walked out of the room, Dada saluted him. And ask if you need a soft sedan car, although the fortress on the side island is called a fortress, but like the mansions on the other islands, it is not like the castle of Thunder or the royal capital of Norman in the Highlands. Or the Archon's Mansion at the White Tower and the Fortress is entirely made of rock, with a flawless white alabaster at the top and sandalwood and walnut at the top. That is why it is possible to paint chalk on them, to draw gold threads and inlaid with precious stones, and to have a large number of windows and windows, narrow but numerous, one next to the other, and at least two facades of each room are occupied by such doors and windows, and when they are opened, the whole room is open, so that the building, though it seems very dense, will be straight and cool if the master needs it—all the doors will be opened for him, and he will be closed again after he passes.

Among them were slave girls' dwellings, who had to get used to it faster than their masters, and when they were in their dwellings, they were almost naked, both to get a chill in the increasingly hot weather, and to seek the favor of their masters whenever and wherever they could, and when the door was opened, they not only did not panic, but would strike all sorts of seductive poses in their original positions. The soul of the other world once gave up the soft sedan chair and walked to the west wing on foot, but he gave up on the way back, and the soft sedan car could at least lower the curtains - those slave girls were of course beautiful, but it always felt that its embarrassment was about to attack.

The curtain of the sedan car had been lowered, and the round sea beads swayed gently, but even with their eyes closed, the lich could still sense that someone was approaching them.

He opened his eyes and was less surprised to find that it was Dada.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Dada followed the palanquin all the way, and at this point he could not prostrate himself, so he put his hand on his forehead, "My esteemed master," he whispered, "It's something about the dwarf McGee, I don't know if you'd like to hear it." ”

"Say it. ”

"Gnome McGee is a dwarf who wants to be a dwarf. ”

"I think I already know," said the lich calmly, "and his outfit and costume are all loudly proclaiming this. ”

"His logo is a hammer. ”

The lich didn't answer, he thought of the grill, it was funny, it was said that only the most skilled gnomes would be used to make this kind of daily utensils, but the gnomes of the Eastern Crown Lord had said that he needed the best gnomes, and as far as they could observe in the past few days, those gnomes were quite convinced and approved of his methods and ideas, although they rejected McGee a lot.

"In fact, Mai Gee is supposed to be the patriarch of the gnomes. Dada said that the former undead blinked, and the news seemed to say a lot: "The inheritance of the gnomes is the same as that of humans," Dada said, "is determined by the blood of the father, and the property, status, and power of the dwarf will only be given to his son, and if there are several sons, it will be the eldest son, and McGee's father is the patriarch of their clan." As an only child, Maiki should inherit his place. ”

"But as far as we can see, no. ”

"The current patriarch is the brother of McGee's father, McGee was a cub when McGee's father died, honored master, and along with his father his mother, his sisters. ”

"Do you know why?"

"It is said that he was involved in a war between the lords, who knows, but the lord of the Eastern Crown declared that he was a rebel in collusion with outsiders," Dada's tone unconsciously carried a hint of contempt in his heart: "Our lord has deprived McGee's father of everything, power, status, and property. and gave them to the brother of the former. ”

The lich chuckled.

"These gnomes have endured him until now only because of this?"

"Of course not," Dada said, "after McGee made his first piece, they had to back down – they could do what McGee could do, and they couldn't necessarily do what McGee could do." When McGee found out about this, he started going crazy. ”

"A dwarf who wants to be a dwarf. The lich's voice came from behind the curtain: "Madness is a good excuse. How else are they going to explain to the other gnomes why they didn't throw McGee into the stone mill?"

"This may be part of the reason," Dada said, "honorable master, I can't be sure ......."

"I'm not trying to be right. ”

"There may be some dwarfs in it...... The master, in fact, is the first time that the lord has directly interfered in the affairs of the gnomes - to put it simply. McGee's father's brother had bitten the bait but hadn't swallowed it completely, and if the ruler of the Eastern Crown showed a desire to further control their clan, he would probably not hesitate to give it to McGee. ”

"It's weird. ”

"The gnomes seem to be like that. "They are selfish and wicked, and so are they in the face of their own people. But if an outside force tries to invade it, they will erect spikes like hedgehogs. ”

Then Dada stopped talking. After all, they had reached the West Wing, and the dwarfs had good hearing.

Gnomes are as short as human toddlers, but their requirements for shelter are the opposite of those of dwarves. They love the sun, the windows should be large, the rooms should be high and wide, the lighting should be sufficient, the decorations should be beautiful, the incense should be incense, and it should be connected to a private personal bathroom, with a bath where they can swim - Dada knows their habits and tastes well, and the above conditions are met, and the slaves who are equipped with them are not beautiful enough, but they can endure it, and in any case, the human arm is the most important thing to the gnomes of the present day. Souls from other worlds feel that gnomes are very similar to researchers in another plane, and although they also know how to enjoy and compete, when they see a new topic, they still forget everything and start to try it.

They and Berdwin gathered in the center of the West Wing— Even in the mage's tower and the mage's mansion, or in the temple and sanctuary, the large colorless glass that would only be used in the copying room and hall was extravagantly framed here into a greenhouse the size of a courtyard, from the ceiling to the walls, it was all transparent glass, except that the flowers and plants that had been planted in it were transplanted, and according to the gnome's request, the floor was paved with smooth alabaster overnight, and the stone was polished as bright as a mirror, reflecting the various instruments hanging from the dwarf's robes.

Berdwin sat on a special chair, or rather, it was an execution chair, but the spikes on it had been removed, but the iron frame and the iron rings welded to the armrests and front legs had not been removed, although they were not closed now, but looking at the meaning of a few gnomes, I would have wanted to give it a try, if it weren't for the Norman princess of the Highlands watching with a cold expression, her face inherited from the Norman king was still quite terrible when she was not smiling, not to mention that she still had a hammer in her hand- It shouldn't be the work of the dwarves, or the gnomes would at least push her out.

Although the former lord of Thundercastle was not fixed to his chair like a criminal, his expression was still not flattering - he was **** upper, and the dwarf McGee stepped on a folding ladder, holding a strangely shaped instrument with tiny needles on it, and according to the movements of McGee's fingers, they would poke out one, or many, and pierce the skin of Baldwin's mutilated arm, the smooth cylindrical surface was covered with blood, and in some places it was even bruised.

As the lich approached them, McGee was busy asking how Birdwin felt, "Does it hurt here?" and pricked, "Still itchy?"

Two stabs: "How many places can you feel pain?"

A lot: "Tell me where they are?"

The lich paused and stared for a moment, "Is this to see if his nerves are intact?"

"Yes. McGee glanced up, no salute or greeting, and returned to his work.

"Cursed by the gods, I have asked you no less than a hundred times, and then he answered you. Berdwin gritted his teeth, and the little needle tip was not smeared with poison or salt water, but he had been sitting here for nearly half a day, and he felt like he was about to become a needle, and he couldn't just sit still, he had to feel it carefully, and he didn't dare to answer every question of the little puppeteer lightly—McGee had warned him that every answer he gave would be about whether his future arm would be as perfect as he had hoped.

Today is a festival for the people of Bi Pi Ti Fort.

A festival that has nothing to do with gods or kings - today they are going to execute a sinful pirate, the captain of the Sea Devil, a half-orc Sea Devil.

She was housed in an iron cage through the streets, and people threw feces and rotting fish into the cracks of the cage, each blow making her scream in anger. The sea devil was captured by Cremar and the mage Gavin on the side island, the half-orcs, especially the sea devils, can indeed defeat many human soldiers, and they also have excellent resistance to magic, but it is not that magic is ineffective against her, the spell thrown by Cremar made her foot sink into the sea sand, and the soft sea sand swallowed her until her neck, she could not escape or breathe, and after holding on for a day and a night, she finally lost the strength to struggle, and then Gavin summoned a few tentacles to wrap her tightly- Before that, Xiu broke her limbs in the same way that she broke the hands and feet of the soldiers.

When she was given the Sparrow by Coubert, Dada also kindly presented a bottle of potion, which was extracted from "tobacco", which could ensure that the sea devil arrived at Cape Fortress safely.

The sea devil was sentenced to a terrible form of capital punishment, which was rare in Cape Fortress - she would inflict a saw punishment, which consisted of hanging the criminal upside down and sawing him in half from top to bottom, and it was said that humans could see it to the chest before dying, while orcs should be able to hold out longer.

The orc roared hoarsely, and she saw a man in the crowd, looking ordinary, with a wide-brimmed hat, his face hidden in the shadows, and a flirtatious kiss as he met the sea devil's gaze. (To be continued.) )
