Chapter 04: Departure (4)

The sun shone obliquely, and the wind blew gently in the mountains and forests.

The dwarves were all bundled and piled together like goods. The Knights of the Silver Moon were scattered, and some of them were still searching the mountains for any remnants of dwarves that had not been caught. Despite Stickstick's claim that all of his men are here, Carl doesn't seem to believe his claims too much.

Gray didn't answer the question that the mallet didn't know how to describe it, but continued to look at him quietly.

This made the mallet begin to break out in a cold sweat, so he burst out one sentence after another:

"Why don't I throw you an apple?"

"Or give you a manicure?"

"I also do belly dancing...... Uh, if you don't like it, can I still wipe my back?"

The mallets were headless and brainless, and the dwarves nodded their heads and screamed with a "whin".

Shelley next to him was embarrassed, angry, and interrupted with his waist crossed: "Is this how the dwarf begs for mercy?"

"What did you say? Who begged for mercy! I didn't beg for mercy! No! How could a proud dwarf beg for mercy from a human! I just, just trying to build trust in each other!"

"Why should we trust a bunch of robbers?"

"We're robbers, yes, but we're reputable bandits!

"So what are we going to do with you? Kill you all?"

As soon as they heard the word "kill", the faces of the group of dwarves turned white with fright.

The corners of the mallet's mouth twitched, and he said hesitantly: "We, we're just robbing it." ”

"That's it? Do you think robbery is a small thing? How many people have you killed during the robbery?"

"No! we never kill! We just rob! We don't kill!"

"Do you think I believe it?" scoffed Shelley.

"We really didn't kill anyone! You can't kill us!

A group of gagged dwarves next to them also screamed.

"It's useless for you to scream, do you know how we humans treat robbers?" said Shelley, word for word. "Hang them all!"

The dwarves suddenly screamed even louder.

"You can't do this! You can't! We're just a bunch of poor dwarves, we're just here to survive! We've never hurt anyone!"

Gray, who really held the decision, was silent, so silent that his scalp began to tingle. Gray, in particular, wears a face mask, which adds more of a deep feeling. It was as if they would be sentenced to death at any moment.

The mallet kept struggling, and the sweat kept flowing, and it kept flowing, and it kept flowing.

Carl and the rest of the Silver Moon Knights were accustomed to Gray's silence, and they knew that at this moment, Gray was already arguing in his head.

After a while, until the menacing Shelley was tired of arguing with the dwarves, Gray asked softly, "Will you be loyal to me?"

"Uh...... What do you say?" the mallet was a little confused.

Not only the dwarves were stunned, but Shelley, Andrew, and the surrounding Knights of the Silver Moon, as well as Black Cat, Vivien, and Catherine, were all stunned.

Gray slowly stood up, looked down at the mallet and said, "I ask you, will you be loyal to me, follow me, fight for me." Didn't you say that you were just trying to survive? In that case, follow me, and you will have no problem of survival. I have a fief and can afford to support you. At the same time, as a paladin, I will forgive your sins. Of course, only if you make atonement for your sins. ”

There was silence.

Mallet, and the dwarves stared at Gray in horror.

This is a bit of a surprise request.

After a while, Vivien in her mind took the lead in speaking, "Gray, I don't think it's good for you to do this. They were dwarves, not humans. Andrew needs to cover his ears, what do you think it would be like to walk among humans with a bunch of dwarves?"

"I also think it's a little bit wrong. The black cat whispered.

Catherine didn't speak, she was silent.

"Gray, are you really going to take a bunch of filthy dwarves with you?" Shelley frowned in disgust.

"Dwarves and elves are feuds, and I am firmly against them. Although my objection may not be of much use. Andrew disagreed.

Jones and Dora didn't care, and said, "We've seen the weirder decisions anyway, haven't we? ”

Gray, however, clearly did not intend to take anyone's advice. Seriously, he continued, "I can pay you and I can guarantee your life." You owe your allegiance to me, and in return I will protect you. Well? Isn't that a good condition? unless you're going to rob here. ”

The mallet, which had finally recovered from his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "No, as proud dwarves, we can't be loyal to humans!"

"That's fine. In that case, I'll tie you all up and give it to a certain lord. As a paladin, I can't let you do evil here. With that, Gray turned around and prepared to leave.

"No!" mallet screamed in fright, "Don't! don't give me to the human lord......! I mean, you can give me one more chance. Persuade me again, after all, dwarves have the dignity of dwarves, and my men are all looking at me. I just agreed, it would be very shameless! Persuade me again, persuade me again, maybe I will agree!"

Gray looked back at him quietly.

The mallet swallowed dryly.

The mallet's men also brushed and swallowed dryly.

"How do I know you'll agree if I persuade you again?" asked Gray.

"How do you know I won't agree if you don't try?" asked the mallet.

"But I don't want to try, what if you still don't agree?"

"No! I'll agree, I swear, if you try again, I'll agree!"

So, in this awkward atmosphere, Gray asked again, "Will you be loyal to me?"

"Yes, reluctantly, but we do!" shouted the mallet, and the mallet suddenly felt relieved.

Gray turned his head and said, "Help them loose." ”

"That's loose, not good. Shelley said with a wink.

"It doesn't matter. For the first time, I would choose to trust them. If they choose to betray, I will arrest them and give them all to the king of Fides. ”

Gray said, waving his hand slightly. Carl and the other Silver Moon Knights immediately stepped forward, and without saying a word, helped them cut the ropes that bound them one by one.

The dwarves looked at each other, and after a moment, they cried "wow". It was a spectacular scene.

Andrew, who was standing next to him, held his forehead with an irritated face.

Shelley frowned as well, as if he was a little unhappy with the dwarves joining.
