The two men who followed behind the Grand Duke of Hammer found that their previous exploration of the underground labyrinth was clumsy and useless under the skilled guidance of the dwarves, and many of the roads that had been ignored by the two of them became a shortcut under Andre's feet, and in less than a moment, the three of them had stepped out of the desperate underground world and into the basement of Hammer Castle. The Hammer Duke took them into the study and instructed the servants to bring them over to find two suitable clothes.

"I don't know if you're fearless or brainless. The dwarf sat in his chair and looked at the Demonborn and the wizard across the long table, "But now that you've seen those things, I'll tell you what to say, and save you from going to die." ”

The Raven glanced at Krus, and saw that the other party was just as interested as he was in what the Hammer Grand Duke had to say. The two men were not in the slightest frightened by the terrifying experience just now, but rather the brief stimulation of the Mother of the Crypt made their spirits completely excited.

"Hmph, what a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die. Grand Duke Hammer looked at the two pairs of eyes across the table and shook his head helplessly, "Listen, what you hear next is the biggest secret of this kingdom, if someone asks in the future, well, you will say that I drank too much nonsense." With that, the dwarf picked up the bottle on the table and poured it into his mouth......

That was a long time ago, long before the Hammer Leader appeared, the dwarf Andre was still in good shape, and the current king of the Greylion, Siggett Hearn, had just returned from his adventures to succeed him. The young king, comforted by his companions, came out of the grief of losing his father, took up the crown left by his ancestors, and warmly invited his friends to stay in the land to be ruled by him, promising freedom and wealth.

But the truth was that, with the exception of the dwarf, who had drunk so much at the feast that he couldn't get out of bed with a hangover, the king's other friends said goodbye to him before dawn the next day, and perhaps Sigget's adventure had ended with duty, but they hadn't. The king didn't keep his companions anymore, because he knew very well that they were right, compared to humans like him, the demon descendants like Krus were obviously just starting their own lives, they had experienced many adventures together, and as for the future, there might be more legends waiting for his companions.

So when the sun rose the next day at noon, and André came out of his castle room shaking his head in sharp pain, the dwarf was surprised to find that he had been abandoned. Ignoring the maid's dissuasion, he broke into the throne room, and André asked Siggett why he hadn't told his companions about their departure. But when the dwarf entered the hall, he froze.

The man on the throne had a familiar face, but when the adventurous companion wore the king's clothes and the crown on his head, André realized that it was no longer the man he once knew. This is not to say that Siggett turned his face and did not recognize his former friends after becoming king, in fact, the young king at that time personally stepped down from the throne and introduced the dwarves who broke into the hall to the nobles and officials present.

After the people in the hall dispersed, Sigurt also asked the servants around him to leave for a while, leaving him alone with his friends. At that time, the throne room was not what it is now, and the room that was empty except for the throne seemed empty and oppressive.

"You should have a few more chairs here. The dwarf looked at his companion on the throne wampedly. He didn't expect Siggett to add a large number of seats in front of the throne for those who came here to meet him. At that time, the king only smiled, and he stepped down from his throne, came to André, and sat down beside the dwarves, not caring whether his clothes would become dirty, as they had done when they ventured.

Siggett's actions relaxed André, and he sat down on the floor, his original stomach full of complaints somehow vanishing when he saw the sincerity in those yellow eyes. "I just drank too much, you know, I'm going to leave too. The dwarf muttered that he was afraid that his friend would be disappointed that he had misunderstood his choice.

The newly enthroned king did not look surprised, just as his companions knew him, and Siggert understood what the dwarves meant. "They didn't have long to go, and I had you get a fast horse, and you should be able to catch up with them by following the main road. ”

At this moment, the door to the Hall of the Throne was opened, and it was none other than Atticus, who had already assumed the position of Grand Knight of the Knights of the Kingdom. "Your Majesty," the Iron Knight looked not much different from when he was old, and if he had to say it, there were many fewer wrinkles on his face, and the beard on his face had not yet grown, except for a black beard on his mouth. "Sorry to bother you at this time. The knight saluted and said respectfully. Atticus was not surprised that the king was sitting on the ground, he had grown up watching Sigget.

"How bad is it?" asked Siggert, looking up, he didn't ask the chief knight what had happened, the Iron Knight would break into the throne room without etiquette, which meant that something bad must have happened in the kingdom.

"Prairie people. "This is the name given to the nomadic people from the steppes of the northwest," who appeared in large numbers in the west, and even infested the county of Salon. ”

"Let the nearest lord solve it, if necessary, please go with the knights in person, the Count of Montenegro should be able to help too. It's autumn, and they won't stay long before they retreat. The king said without thinking about it, the nomads were the most familiar enemies of the lions, and the way to deal with them was clear long before Siggat set out on his adventure.

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have interrupted you so rudely, Your Majesty. Atticus bowed his head, his tone extremely respectful, but with a bit of harshness in his words, and the chief knight thought that the king's reaction was too casual.

"Oh, then, what is going on to make the Iron Knight lose his respects?" the Iron Knight said intrigued the young king, who rose from the ground, for the king, who had just returned from his adventures, was not accustomed to sitting on a cold throne for a long time.

Atticus noticed the excitement in Sigget's eyes, and shook his head imperceptibly, it would not be good for the king to be too fond of leading by example. However, the old knight is not unable to understand the passion in Siggett. He's just returned and needs to slowly adjust to his new identity. Atticus thought.

"The Count of Montenegro has already moved, but he also mentions in his war report that some strange fellows have appeared in the army of nomads. They have caused heavy casualties among our troops. ”

"Sounds like someone has to find out where those guys are coming from, right?" Siggert flicked his wrist and added as soon as he noticed the disapproval on the Iron Knight's face, "and, I suppose there's nothing more morale-boosting than the new king coming to battle himself, right?"

Atticus frowned and thought for a while, but finally couldn't find a reason to convince the king, and he sighed, "If you insist, Your Majesty." ”

With a triumphant smile on the king's face, he turned to look at his friend, "One last more adventure with me?"

"Of course, humans. Although you are now a king, your best knight will not be more powerful than a dwarf!" André slammed his fists into his chest, making a decision that would change his life.
