Baron Gregory and his subordinates had already left, but Xiao Chen didn't see much joy on the dwarf's face. Farrell looked at Xiao Chen with a solemn expression, and then said, "Mr. Mage, even if you save me, I still won't go with you." ”

Xiao Chen didn't answer, but walked in this room that was messed up by the soldiers. The shelves fell to the ground, parts of the armor scattered, and many weapons were broken by smashing and breaking. Farrell followed him with one foot high and one foot low, and repeated, "Dwarves always count, and I won't go with you." ”

"Are you going to clean up this place and continue to open?" Xiao Chen asked, pointing to the messy ground.

The dwarf looked around, shook his head in frustration, and said, "I can't stay any longer." I'm leaving here with my sons tonight. That bastard in Gregory must have done it on purpose today. I guess the city lord has already taken a fancy to my belongings......"

Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head, "Then where are you going to go? Go to a strange city and start from scratch? And then after a few years, you will be ruined like wheat by those greedy lords?"

"I ......" The dwarf couldn't answer, his eyes were red, and Xiao Chen could see the lava-like anger in his eyes.

Xiao Chen said again, "Or, what kind of crime was put in prison by someone, and every day in the dungeon where there is no light to make weapons for the lord? This is your plan?"

"Ah~~" Farrell roared, picked up a mace from the ground, and used his arms so hard that the two-finger-thick hammer handle was broken by him. He threw the hammer that was divided into two pieces on the ground, as if throwing away the corpse of an enemy, and said angrily: "Those scoundrels can't defeat me, I will resist, and if you didn't come in just now, I will use this hammer to knock the head of that bastard in Gregory!

"Yes, Dad! Let's start over, and we won't be able to earn back a shop in less than a year! One of Farrell's sons chimed in.

Another son said, "If you hadn't told me not to do anything, I would have broken the necks of those two soldiers." ”

"Shut up. Shut up, you two idiots!" Farrell said angrily, "Go pack up my things, bring the valuable guys, throw away the cumbersome, and load them all onto the flatbed trucks that transport the goods." Let's get out of this hellish place. ”

The two young dwarves didn't know what their father was angry about, and they were stunned for a long time before they went to the back room.

Xiao Chen looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and then at Farrell, who had nowhere to break out of evil fire, and knew that the dwarf was actually struggling in the center of his heart, so he changed his tone to a more relaxed tone and continued: "Mr. Farrell, I have been in this city for some days, and I have come into contact with many people in the city. You have to know that Gregory, the bastard and bastard you call it, actually has a good reputation in the city. Listen: the cautious Gregory, the kind-hearted Sir Gregory, the baker, oh, he is so called because last winter he bought some bread to help some of the poor. ”

"What are you trying to say? Tell me that bastard is actually a good guy? They're all pretentious bad breeds. Just look at the blood on my son's face. Farrell's eyes widened and he said.

"I mean, why does a man who occasionally has a kind heart for the poor become so vicious when he comes to your shop?"

Farrell was a little stunned, bowed his head and was silent for a while, and said angrily at the last word: "Just because I am a dwarf." Dwarves, not people! Dwarves are deformed, monsters. It's about the same as cattle and sheep...... I've heard countless people say that, and I know that many more people think so viciously in their hearts. ”

Farrell walked up and down the room, looking uneasy: "But I just survived, and I survived." You see, I built my own shop in a big human city, and I used my hammer to make them understand that dwarves are amazing!"

Xiao Chen looked at the dwarf silently, and the dwarf loudly told about his hardships, but his voice whimpered. Douda's tears flowed down his rough cheeks and into his beard, "But...... But that's going to be the end of it......"

"Do you really not think about going with me to a place where you are safe, free, and people respect you?" Xiao Chen asked very sincerely, "I promise, there will never be anything like today." ”

"Huh. With tears on his face, Farrell smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "But you're also a human." To you, an exiled dwarf like me, will always be an outlier. We were so different in height that everyone would look down at me. Ever since I was banished from the Dwarven Kingdom, I felt like I was stuck in a chimney with black smoke. My hand can wield a two-hundred-kilogram hammer without the power to smash through this layer of black smoke. ”

Farrell glanced at Xiao Chen, who was full of regret, turned around and walked towards the back room, "I'm fed up with the days of looking at faces. I just want to live my life, and I can't hide in a ravine. ”

Xiao Chen looked at Farrell depressedly, he didn't expect to come across such a good opportunity and pull him, but he couldn't convince this stubborn dwarf. But he's out of the woods, and without basic trust, there's no way to start.

"Are you willing?" At this time, Luo Ling, who had not spoken, spoke, her voice was like a needle, piercing Farrell's heart, "Have you ever wondered whose fault it was for all this? Who made you wander around, who caused you to lose your wife, who made you run away in embarrassment at night?"

Farrell stopped and turned around: "Woman, what do you want to do! Don't provoke Farrell with such shoddy means. ”

"I just wanted to ask if you have the courage to take revenge. A person can not have the ability to take revenge, but if he doesn't even have the heart to take revenge, he can be called a man in vain. ”

"Who said I didn't want to! I dreamed of letting those old stubborns know that they were the ones who were wrong! I wanted them to know that all the miserable days I had over the years, and Lisa's death, were all their fault! I just, just didn't want to ......"

"You don't use any explanation, if you want to take revenge with your own strength, and you are not even willing to pay the sacrifice under the fence, will there be any possibility of success?!" Luo Ling's voice was cold and sharp, and he poked at Farrell's sore spot mercilessly.

"You know what! I've believed in others, I've believed that I've been able to go back and prove it to them, I've believed that I'm going to make those old guys pay in the end. I worked day and night to achieve this, but what did I end up with? Nothing, but lost Lisa! Everything was fake, and the cunning humans easily deceived a stupid dwarf again and again. Farrell's face alternated between anger and disappointment, and finally froze in sorrow, "You say, what do you say I should do? How can I still trust humans? How do I know if this will happen again after I leave with you?"

"You can't know. I won't guarantee it either. Luo Ling said very seriously, "But who else but us trusts you like Xiao Chen and gives you a test of his folding knife with peace of mind? Who listens carefully to your distress and talks to you with such an equal attitude? Maybe this is the last chance in your life that is worth trying, if you still have a little bit of heart, then you should take a gamble." ”

Farrell stared at Luo Ling, Luo Ling's gaze was so penetrating and scorching that he quickly did not dare to look at each other. He grabbed his beard and whirled in a tangled motion.

At this time, his youngest son's voice came from the door of the inner room: "Father, maybe we should try again, I was born outside the dwarf kingdom, and I have never seen my hometown before." You said that every dwarf should be born on the banks of the lava river in his homeland, feel the scorching breath of the god of forging, and should be buried in the river of lava and become part of the bloodline of the god of forging, but I can only imagine the magnificence of the river of lava until now. ”

"yes, I'd like to see the Valley of Ten Thousand Hammers again. How wonderful it would be to wake up to the sound of countless hammers every day. The eldest son said.

Farrell looked at his two sons as he had when he was young, and sighed in a low voice, "I was already ...... Gave up. I have become a coward with no strength, who only wants to take you to a place where no one cares, and does not want anyone to do anything over you and turn you into slave-like craftsmen. But, damn it, maybe it's too unfair for you to run away for the rest of your life...... It's so unfair to us!"

He stared at Xiao Chen viciously and asked, "Are you really going to let me go one day, let me return to the Dwarven Kingdom with the latest technology, and slap those old fools' faces so hard that their old faces are as red as iron ingots?"

"In the name of the magic tower to which I belong, I promise. Xiao Chen replied solemnly.

—————————————————————————

Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Xiao Chen was excited, and his spirit was different. Cai Long and the others were left in the blacksmith shop to protect the Farrell family, and Xiao Chen was going to ask Baron Goya to clear up the relationship again, so that Gregory would no longer trouble the dwarves.

"Look at you. Luo Ling shook her head and smiled.

"You're really sharp-minded, and you have caught the dwarves right at once. Xiao Chen praised.

"That's because you're on the wrong footing. ”

"You mean about discrimination?"

Luo Ling sneered and said, "Do you think that we people will not discriminate?

"Hey, it's better than these locals, modern people still take equality more or less. ”

Luo Ling shook her head and said, "Is there less discrimination among modern people? In our world, can you really treat whites and blacks equally, and can you really treat urban and rural people equally?"

Xiao Chen groaned slightly, "I know what you want to say, after all, I have been a reporter for two years, and I have also investigated the illegal detention of blacks in Guangzhou. I admit that at that time, I was not used to it, I felt that they were of inferior quality, and I thought that it would be better to send them all back. ”

"So talk less about equality and more about practicality. We need to bind them with benefits, not just talk about them. ”

"Of course, interests are important, but we must not underestimate the power of values!" Xiao Chen stopped, stopped Luo Ling, and said very seriously: "This time, that time." When we arrived in the New World, we became an absolute minority. If you still have the same prejudice, you won't be able to integrate into this world. This is a matter of life and death, and it is by no means empty talk. Just because we can't eliminate it completely doesn't stop us from fighting it. ”

"From acceptance to habit, from habit to integration?"

"Yes, and it has to be a blend of me, our values have to be appealing to be able to do that! We have to make them feel that we are genuinely accepting of them. ”

"It's going to be hard. Maybe it won't be possible for generations. ”

"Although I can't get there, my heart yearns for it. ”

Luo Ling found that Xiao Chen at this time had no usual lazy appearance at all, and her eyes were focused and clear, like a child, which made her feel a power that touched people's hearts.
