Elaina also dismounted and walked to Luo Ling's side and said, "The dwarf kingdom is a very hierarchical place, and different classes tie their beards into different numbers of braids to show their identity. The king had eleven wisps of beard, the great nobles and priests had nine, the middle nobles had seven, the lower nobles had five wives, the senior craftsmen, stewards and petty officers had three wisps, the commoners had one wisp, and the serfs were not allowed to tie their beards. The class difference is far too much to intermarry, and the difference is too great to even speak, which is really a lifeless place. ”

"No wonder you elves don't like dwarves. ”

"We don't hate a single dwarf, we just don't like the way the dwarven kingdom looks, and of course, the human kingdom is no better. It's just you, and you give me a different feeling. ”

"It's different. But that's not enough, there's still a long way to go. Luo Ling said, "These dwarves on the other side don't have beards, and they hate the dwarf kingdom, it seems that there are many stories in them." You've already touched them with the story of Senserell. ”

After Farrell finished telling his story, several dwarves around him came over and patted him on the shoulder, and two dwarves hugged him hard.

Then Farrell came to Luo Ling with the leading dwarf and said, "Sinclair, this is Your Excellency Luo Ling, she is the leader of our people, she is a powerful mage, and she is also a good mage! Well, I mean, although they are also human, but the people you know are different, those bastards only know how to oppress us dwarves, but Master Luo Ling really respects me. Yes, she looked at me as an equal!"

"Sinclair is the hunting captain of the dwarves of the valley. His tribe used to be slaves of the Black Dragon Empire, and the most terrible thing is that these slaves were secretly sold to humans by the dwarven nobles! Those bastards actually used civilians and serfs to exchange food and weapons. But later, when the Black Dragon Empire fell, they escaped, and they didn't want to go back to the kingdom where they betrayed them, so they lived in this deep mountain. Sinclair was a child, but he remembered how the dwarven nobles smuggled them out of the kingdom and gave them to human officials. So, he was nervous when he saw the dwarves with humans. ”

"This should have happened two hundred years ago, during the War for the Throne of the Dwarven Kingdom, right?" Luo Ling asked.

Sinclair looked surprised, but no matter how grumpy a dwarf is, he still needs to be careful in front of a mage. He nodded to Luo Ling and saluted, "Yes." Your Excellency Luo Ling, I am now two hundred and twenty years old, and it was indeed at that time. ”

"Then I'm afraid it wasn't an ordinary nobleman who betrayed you, but one of the two princes at the time, or they were both doing this kind of business at the time. Luo Ling guessed.

Sinclair's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered loudly, "It doesn't matter who it is. We don't want to know anything about that kingdom, we just want to get as far away from that damn place as possible. ”

"Definitely. It doesn't make much sense to say that now. Then tell me why you are stopping us. ”

Sinclair said, "Your Excellency Luo Ling, we didn't know that there would be a mage in your team, otherwise I would explain it like I am now." For many, many years, no mage has ever been here. Usually there are only a few caravans, and some adventurers who go into the mountains. We would have done business with them and taken them in overnight. But these days...... We're in trouble of our own, so it's no longer convenient to take in outsiders. ”

"Sinclair, maybe Your Excellency Luo Ling can help you solve that problem? In addition to mages, there are also alchemists, elven priests, and high-ranking warriors in our team, to be honest, you will be difficult to find such a comprehensive and powerful team. ”

"Yes. So when I heard Farrell tell me about your strength, I wanted to ask for your help. "The dwarves don't talk in the mud at all.

"Speak. Luo Ling replied bluntly.

"There was an ancient ruin behind the village where we lived, and when we moved here, we didn't know it was there. Later, a few years later, the dirt slope on the mountain collapsed due to rain, revealing the gate of the ruins. But that's fine, we can't open the ruins, but it doesn't affect our lives.

However, in the past few years, strange things have often escaped through the cracks in the ruins, such things have no body, they cannot be seen clearly during the day, and they are faint clusters of light at night, they can attach themselves to people or animals, and make them crazy. Once these people or animals are possessed by that ghostly thing, they will go crazy and cut people and bite people everywhere. We can only lock people up and kill animals.

The dwarves in our village are craftsmen and warriors, and no one understands these strange things. I hope to be able to figure out what they are with the help of your powers, and then destroy them. As long as you can solve this problem, we will pay you enough. ”

"How many people have been affected by these strange things?" Luo Ling asked.

"Over the years, more than a dozen people have been made crazy. Truth be told, if you can't fix that, we'll be moving out of here soon. This phenomenon has become more and more frequent in the past few months, and last month it went crazy by two. ”

"Mr. Sinclair, we can help you try to solve this problem, and the reward we need is simple. Luo Ling pointed to Adan behind him, who was listening to them carefully, "This young man is the inheritor of this ruin, you just need to let us enter this ruin and take the contents inside." I even think that opening the ruins and entering them is the ultimate solution to your problems. ”

————————————————————————

With the permission of the dwarves, Luo Ling and his party followed the hunting team into this mountain road. After about half an hour's walk on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, they suddenly came to a valley with a large area.

Luo Ling's mountain pass is a little higher, and you can clearly see the scene in the valley, a waterfall falls from the cliff, merges into a waterhole, and then extends a small river through the whole valley, a patch of stone houses are distributed along the banks of the river, and the outside of the house is a fenced farmland, orchards and corrals. There are many dwarves working in the village, and there are also children playing and playing. Even the well-informed Luo Ling and the discerning Elaine have to admit that this is a paradise full of idyllic scenery.

However, the sudden shouting broke the sight, and a young dwarf slammed out of the house with a hammer and rushed directly at a few children who were playing not far away.

"Sinclair, look! another evil spirit has rushed out. Ahh A dwarf shouted.

Sinclair let out a roar: "Babik!"

He burst out with a fiery red fighting spirit and flew in the direction of the village.
