Little Fryman looked at the dark space around him, and seemed to say to Carpenter, and as if to himself, "It's a human habitat, to be exact, a human knight squad's habitat." The orcs who arrived near Tosto definitely killed more than me, just 9 orcs, it is impossible to take out a team of human knights and still be normal. Listen to me, in the vicinity of Tosto, I believe that at least 60 or more, if not more, orcs are wandering around. ”

Carpenter's hand paused again, looked up at little Fryman, and said, "That's just your self-righteous inference." ”

Little Fryman reached into his arms again, and this time he pulled out not a leaf wrap, but a metal arrow. He casually threw the arrow to Carpenter and said, "See for yourself what it is." ”

Carpenter caught the arrow with some hastiness, his fat hands adept at picking up heavy axes and chisels, but they were somewhat difficult to control with such a smaller, delicate metal.

"The bow and arrow used by the Knights of Punishment, yes, it has the letter G on it, born of the Lord, where did you get it?"

The entire tavern had mostly been darkened, except for an oil lamp that was flickering faintly near the tavern counter, and looked like it was going to go out at any moment due to the oil that was about to dry up.

The dancing flames made the two people in the tavern look very gloomy, and the dancing light also plunged the entire tavern into an eerie atmosphere.

The bearded dwarf's face slowly became very ugly after he asked little Fryman his first question, and he shook his head to himself and said, "No." You can't get these things. The bows and arrows of the Knights of Punishment are blessed by the Bishop. Each one is very precious, and as long as it is victorious, it will be recovered from the corpse of the enemy. ”

After a pause, Carpenter continued, "Either the enemy will flee to a place where the Punishment Knights can't reach, or another conclusion will be that the Punishment Knights have been killed by those enemies." ”

Little Fryman whispered, "This is the arrow I found in a creek 20 miles from here." Because I saw this arrow, I expected that there might be changes nearby that I didn't know about, then. I ended up waiting for the orcs. Unfortunately, I didn't find the wounds on these orcs. ”

Carpenter kept the arrow spinning in front of him, and after a while said, "Cleaning the wound will make this arrow fall into the water." Orcs wouldn't be interested in such arrows, and you should be able to easily find out where they came from through the stream, just as a dwarf could estimate the direction of those veins by looking at the terrain. ”

Little Fryman nodded, and said, "That's why I arrived at Tosto in the afternoon, and I followed the creek upstream, and then found those orcs in a valley after the victory. Because the scene was a mess. I don't know how many Punishment Knights died from this raid by the orcs, but after I arrived in Tosto. I don't see anything unusual about the Knights of Punishment and the Clergy here. This can only show that none of the knights who had been besieged by the orcs were able to escape, not only that, but not even the attendants of these knights escaped. It's just that I don't have the bones of those knights, and no one can prove that what I say is true. Just an arrow can't convince the high knights and priests of what I say. ”

"Without an absolute numerical superiority, it is impossible to launch an attack on a camp of punishment knights, even if there are only ten punishment knights, the number of orcs that need to be invested is at least 50 or more. So your judgment is not wrong, there are indeed quite a few orcs in the Black Forest near Tosto. ”

In the darkness, Carpenter threw the arrow to little Fryman, and continued, "Well, I will lead all the dwarven warriors of Tosto to set out with you tomorrow, and if you can help us, the dwarves will certainly not forget their due." ”

Little Fryman smiled slightly and said, "Including helping me get back to the Rose Collar?" ”

Carpenter stared at little Fryman and said, "That will depend on how much you can help us." ”

Little Fryman tapped lightly on the table and said, "We have to talk about it seriously, right now." I believe you have a dwarven village near Tosto, which is probably full of women and young children among your dwarves, and they are unable to resist the murderous orcs. So you're willing to go into the Black Forest with me and try to protect the lives of these dwarves, right? ”

Carpenter was quiet for a moment and asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" ”

The brown-haired boy shook his head slightly and said, "Dwarves have their own wariness of all life, and you will not take all dwarves out of the Black Forest to survive in the human Shijie, that would be too dangerous for you." Don't ask me weishenme will know this, I always know this. Now the question is, how many dwarven warriors are there in the small town of Tosto? ”

"Thirty, uh, no more than 35. They are the best and most valiant warriors. ”

Seeing Carpenter's somewhat proud expression, little Fryman whispered, "But there are many more orcs than you warriors. Without the right choice, even if you stay in your camp, you won't be able to stop the orcs from attacking. When the time comes, the outcome you face will still not change. ”

Listening to little Fryman's words, knowing that his reasoning would not be wrong, Carpenter tore his beard a little anxiously and asked, "Then tell me, what else can be done?" ”

Fryman Jr. did not answer the question, but directly threw out the trading chips: "I don't care if I become my subject, whether it is nominal or real." The Rose Collar is large and at the same time another exit from the Black Forest, where you have plenty of room to survive. I am a lord, and I have to think about the safety of my subjects first, not my subjects, and I have no interest. ”

Carpenter was stunned for a moment, looked at little Fryman, and asked, "Are you willing to accept dwarves?" ”

"I don't want to," little Fryman rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked at Carpenter, who continued, "I'd like to have a territory made of pure human form, at least I can get enough taxes from them." From the dwarves, I get very little, and I may incur unnecessary trouble for myself. Don't look at me like that, isn't that ruin near Tosto really not related to the dwarves? Or is it true that you didn't stop in Tosto because of that ruin? ”

Carpenter let out a long breath and said, "You are a demon, the most cunning demon I have ever seen. ”

Carpenter, who was told the center of things by little Freyman, looked at the wall, behind which was the vast expanse of the Black Forest Mountains.

"We fled from our homeland and walked all over Europe until we sensed the call of the earth near here. A few of our dwarves who are most familiar with the veins of the earth left the group, eventually returning with fragments of stone. Eleven dwarves went out, and only half returned, and yes, only one dwarf remained, with only lower limbs, and one eye was already blind. He took the fragment of the stone in his mouth and fled back to the makeshift camp we had near here at the time. “

Little Fryman smiled slightly and said, "There is only one possibility that can make you stop roaming throughout Europe, and that has something to do with dragon slaying." If I'm not mistaken, that fragment of stone must have something to do with slaying a dragon, and it has an image engraved on it that kills the dragon? Or is there a language for dragon slaying? ”

Carpenter's body shook, his stout body not standing on the stool, and he fell, making a plop in the dark tavern. Carpenter, who was sitting on the ground, didn't care about any of this at all, he looked at little Fryman in amazement, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you're a human?" Or a dragon, or a lich? ”

Little Fryman's face regained his composure, he turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the door, and said, "Whoever I am, I have no ill will towards you. Believe me, it's not just you dwarves and humans who are here for this ruin, those orcs suddenly appeared here for the sake of the ruins. They may not want to storm Tosto, but they will certainly conduct a sweep around the area to pull out all potential threats. So, it could be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or maybe today, and they will find the dwarven camp. We can repel them once, three times at most, and after that? Speaking of Zuihou, even if those orcs are completely annihilated, your people, including you, can only be considered to be temporarily safe, as long as that ruin is there, you will never be at peace. ”

Carpenter breathed hard, and little Fryman's words, though calm, were like a palm with great magical power, holding the bearded dwarf in the palm of his hand. Every time the brown-haired boy said something new, the big hand pushed harder until it seemed to squeeze all the air out of Carpenter's lungs. However, Carpenter could not say anything for a moment except to breathe heavily.

As little Fryman just said, the ruins around Tosto have attracted too many people's attention to this place, and the dwarf settlements here are not worth mentioning at all. Above greed, there will only be more greed, and above the dwarves, there will be more fierce beings for dragons. Once all those humans are involved, the future dwarven tribe is likely to face a large group of slave hunters, and the entire dwarven tribe is already in danger.

Carpenter had no way out, and in this moment, he finally realized how valuable the young man's advice was. Once they become subjects of little Fryman and leave this place with him, then those who are high up will no longer have much of an idea of the tribe.

The premise is that this lord can become a powerful lord in the limelight. (To be continued......)
