During the years of living in Cat City, not only did Thomas learn to distinguish the mood of cats based on their ears and tails, but Baihua also learned to recognize a human from expressions, heartbeats, and smells through practice.

The poet Ewell has a dashing demeanor and sunshine, not too polite or too rude. Talking to them will make you feel like sitting in the warm spring breeze for a month.

The poet doesn't have anything to be wary of on the surface, but the cat ninja can directly feel whether a person is trustworthy or not.

Ignoring the content of his speech, Baihua carefully observed the poet's speaking habits, physical details, small movements, and the degree of physical strength and coordination, and came to the conclusion:

This monkey is similar to the monkey that would disappear before, and a little stronger than the big foolish cat. One trick cat jump kill can be solved, so there is no need to worry.

She didn't know that the same profession was a wanderer, and that bards and thieves were not of the same grade at all. The most brilliant poets are on a par with, if not surpass, the dwarf liars.

Rubbing her forehead, Catgirl honestly returned to Thomas's room and burrowed into the closet to wrap her old clothes.

After persuading Baihua away, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief: after the cat came back, he was probably afraid that the breeder would be lost again, so he had been close to protect him, and he had to watch from the sidelines. After this patrol ensured the safety of the "territory", she reluctantly agreed to stay in the nest.

The bodies of the thieves had been cleaned by the dwarves, and Thomas had come to the place where Slorin and Barnard had confessed.

The former family of this spacious cavern has been relocated to the Mithril Hall, and its proximity to the makeshift temple has been exploited by the clergy of the Dwarven gods.

The dwarven Slorin is holding a pure gold carving knife and carving a female knight riding a unicorn. In the center of the room there were already huge statues of the dwarven ancestors of the Heroic Spirits, with proportional statues of drow rangers, barbarians, female archers, and panthers on one side.

The statue of Thomas has also been carved to the right of the dwarven statues. However, because the dwarf thought it was good-looking, instead of losing his beard on his face, he turned into a big mustache with pigtails.

The Twin Blade Ranger and the Archer Ranger are guarding around the dwarves, the Barbarian counterpart is naturally Slorin's own, the female archer on the right is empty, and finally the prototype of a cat-man with a twin swords.

Of course, there are no halflings and gnomes.

In front of the pure gold, the stone is as fragile as tofu. Slorin carefully scraped the cuirass of the Mina statue until it was slightly recessed, and the stone chips fell gently.

The dwarves' weapons, armor and carving skills are a tradition, and Slorin, who aims to cultivate himself as a weapon master, pursues a realm similar to "the unity of sword and Zen, and the unity of man and sword", and uses art to express his martial arts.

The dwarf lazily half lay on the stone bed beside him, looking at the scrolls that Thomas had given him, divided into different scroll boxes according to their purpose.

The mother dwarf Helda Silverstream crouched to the side, looking at Slorin with her face in her hands. As a human with normal aesthetics, Thomas felt that the mother-dwarf was too blind to look bright.

It seems that after receiving the priest's removal curse, the mental contamination of the two has been removed.

After coming into contact with Black Ice, Cortana brings up two stats about Evil Pollution in his character bar for easy viewing:

Corruption of the flesh and depravity of the spirit.

Now both are zero, indicating that Thomas narrowly escaped.

These two stats first appeared when serving Neverwinter in the Great Rift Valley. Many of the adventurers who also went to the Rift Valley to fight the monsters lost their minds and their bodies mutated.

Thomas and the others waited silently for the dwarf carving to finish, and after a long time, Slorin let out a sigh of relief, and his mind withdrew from his concentration.

"Since the black ice can't be used anymore. Next, we should go and complete the task entrusted by Mina before leaving. ”

Slorin shook his head: "I don't think so, black ice may need special treatment and purification before it can be used, and it can't be ...... directly."

The mother and the dwarf wanted to speak and stopped.

"Judging from her superficial words, let's hold this side and not let your uncle be taken down. The dwarf looked down at the mother dwarf, "But we all know that what she really wants is for the dwarves to eliminate civil strife, unite and be the force that keeps Icewind Dale safe." Slorin, Thomas, and Big Cat plus the True Silver Valkyrie should be enough to outwit the Darkskin Witch and the Drow Elf, should we launch a surprise attack and take down the other side?"

"No, the Valkyrie is responsible for guarding the current temple and can't be occupied by the rebels anymore. You guys are shooting too hard...... Uncle didn't really want casualties......"

Thomas felt a headache for the pig teammate and VIP who had to be protected, and he couldn't help but think of the Battle of Jingjing: "Is your uncle Emperor Jianwen? ”

"Moreover, the lack of mining of black ice has caused everyone's accusations, although black ice may have disadvantages, but equipment made of black ice can quickly improve combat effectiveness. Compared with the soldiers on both sides, it should be the advantage of the other party's equipment. Slorin pointed out: "In the future, if the other party starts to attack and threatens important targets such as your uncle and the temple, we will not hesitate to kill in order to complete the mission!"

The female dwarf hesitated for a moment, then said to him, "There is no way to do that, and we will never blame you in turn." But I hope that when there is still a way and there is no end to it, we can try not to cause casualties. ”

"According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, the superior way is to outmaneuver the enemy by stratagem and diplomacy...... And we only have the ...... of force" Thomas's gaze suddenly turned to the dwarf, remembering that his true identity was not a scientist.

"Daddy, what are you going to do? I'm your own son!"

"How can you grow without going through hardships?Wending, now is the time for you to stand up and fool those people!"

Thomas grinned as he approached the dwarf, and the dwarf rolled her eyes, feeling that both the human and his son were crazy and stupid.

"Barnard just likes to lie, but he's not good enough at peace talks. "I wonder why you don't take the poets into account, after all, it's not uncommon for the poets of the Northland to be in charge of diplomacy and peace among the barbarian tribes, and it's normal for him to do such things?"

"You don't understand," said Thomas, "I had a feeling of discomfort when I saw him—like the Drow Ranger and the Port Carlin Killers. ”

The mother's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Thomas and smiled strangely.

"Is it a premonition of an old enemy? Then there is no way, I heard that when two men who are determined by fate meet, their bodies and fingers will tremble incessantly because of the upcoming battle, this behavior is called 'warrior shock'......" The dwarf said thoughtfully.

"But I thought that the rangers' old enemies were all assassins, light and darkness, good and evil, two people who were similar on the outside but opposite on the inside, and in the end the evil prevailed over the good......"

"I have a good idea!" cried the dwarf, "why don't you let the master persuade the witch to surrender, haven't you helped her before?"

"How is it possible, it's been so many years, and even if there is kindness, it has long faded. Ranger frowned: "And he looks good on the surface, but he doesn't know what he's thinking in his heart, and he always feels a little moody." ”

It is estimated that it is affected by the hormones in the body, not like a manly husband. He added in his mind.

"Forget it, I'll go and try it. It is estimated that he has also wanted to repay my favor for a long time, after all, this kind of debt is the most uncomfortable in his heart. ”
