The dwarven patriarch was a red-bearded dwarf, and his beard was much more carefully groomed than the other dwarves, and was braided into a thick braid that hung down from his forehead. From Xu Zheng's point of view, a big red beard looks like a woman's braid that has been tied into a woman's braid, which is a bit suspicious of spoofing.

This man was born strong and strong, and when he stood on the ground, it looked a bit like a low tower. He ran over on short legs and asked loudly, "Who is Xu Zheng?"

Xu Zheng stood up and said with a smile: "It's me." ”

Originally, there was a drunken dwarf leaning on Xu Zheng's body, and as soon as Xu Zheng stood up, he slipped and fell to the ground, still saying to himself: "Hey, is there any wine to drink?"

Looking at the expression of the dwarven patriarch, he was probably already unable to do it, and hurriedly ordered this person to be carried away, and then said: "I am the dwarf patriarch Aru Copperbeard, who are these people?"

Bruce smiled and nodded: "The great prince of the Terran Cheng'an Kingdom, Bruce Samus." Hello, Patriarch. ”

Xiao Chu said briefly: "Chu Vidal." Leopard Clan. ”

Xingbadai made an elven salute: "Hello, Patriarch Aru, I am the youngest daughter of the Elf King, Xingbadai Night Song. ”

Aosen said loudly: "I'm Xu Zheng's father!"

Kano couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xu Zheng's other father." ”

Ling Meimei also stepped forward and said, "Dwarf clan, Ling Meimei." Hello, Patriarch Aru. Camila stepped forward last. After hesitating for a moment, he still said honestly: "Demon clan, succubus Camilla." Zero Literature Network. ”

"Demons?" Aru had a nervous look on his face. Look at the people in front of you one by one. Not only is there a person from every race, but it doesn't sound like such a simple character, Yalu can't help but be even more moved and surprised by Eliqi's narration, why Xu Zheng, an ordinary human being, has such a great appeal? Thinking so, his eyes fell on Xu Zheng, and he couldn't help but look up and down again and again.

The Terran boy in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, and even a little half-old. It is very different from other royal nobles who are always well-dressed. In him, I can't see the so-called kingly spirit, and it may be more appropriate to say that he is more like an ordinary teenager. But when Yalu continued to observe with this thought, he found that the eyes of the young man in front of him were full of light, and a pair of unusual black eyes looked extremely bright under the reflection of the magic light ball.

Is...... It's hard to describe someone. The thought came to Aru's mind.

Xu Zheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Patriarch don't mind, I think you may have misunderstood the existence of the demon clan." Demons are not the same as abyssal demons. You'll understand after this. ”

Patriarch Yaru nodded in disbelief and said, "I have heard many things about Skida, thank you for helping the dwarves in the land of the human race." ”

Xu Zheng smiled: "You're welcome. Ilic and Haze are my friends, and helping friends is a basic morality. ”

Aru sighed, "I haven't seen many Terrans who treat dwarves as friends. ”

Xu Zheng smiled: "Trust me, you will see a lot in the future." ”

After the polite words were spoken, they seemed to be speechless, and the two faced each other, both of them had a feeling that they wanted to speak but couldn't find the time to speak. Zero Literature Network.

Ilic was cold. Hurriedly said: "Xu Zheng, what you just said ......"

Xu Zheng nodded, took a step forward, and said, "I won't say more nonsense." Patriarch of Aru. Would you be interested in coming to Orson Manor to live with us?"

"You guys?"

"Yes. There are currently elves, terrans, orcs, gnomes, and treants in Orson Manor, and the two dwarves of Haze and Iliqi are also counted. .. We welcome the dwarves to come to Orson Manor and live with us. ”

Aru asked, "Why?"

Xu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "No why, it's just for a simple and happy life." The estrangement between the various ethnic groups has existed for many years, so why can't everyone live better together? What kind of hatred and contradictions cannot be resolved, and you have to fight to the death on this continent?"

Yaru didn't quite believe in such a reason. For various reasons, the Terrans have become the overlord of the Aris continent. Dominates the vast majority of continents and lands. And the style of the human race has not always been very fashionable, according to previous experience and lessons. They don't give too many opportunities to other races, why would this teenager in front of him say that?

Seeing Yalu looking at himself with a puzzled look, Xu Zheng said with a straight face: "Patriarch Yalu, please don't doubt my sincerity. I know that the experience of the dwarves has made you wary of the Terrans, but they do not represent me. My personal experience makes me not interested in dominating the world and competing in the world, I just want to build a warm and happy home. Well, maybe this family is a bit big, but this place is indeed my ideal, and it was proposed by a friend who is not human, and finally it became my ideal. ”

Yalu was a little dazed, he didn't know that Xu Zheng was referring to Mark.

Xu Zheng said again: "Actually, strictly speaking, there are two reasons to invite dwarves. The first reason, if you don't believe it, I always think that all races are equal, and the reason is to live together in the bright continent of Aris. I don't care what other people do, how they disdain non-human races, I just care what I think, I just do what I do. You can ask Ilic and Haze about this, I treat my friends with a true heart. ”

"As for the second point. Hehe, it's also out of my own selfishness, I like Ilic and Haze. Honest, hardworking, and passionate about mining and forging, dwarves are very good friends. When I was in the Imperial Capital, I promised that one day I would send Ilic and Haze back to my own people. Now that they have found you, I regret it again, and I can't bear them. ”

"But I have promised that if the two of them return to their own people, I can only bless, not hinder. The fact is that I like them, and they are also needed for the construction of the Orson estate. Coupled with the difficulties you are having in your life, I have some power to help in this regard. In that case, why is it better for everyone to live together? In this way, I will not lose Ilic and Haze, and I will have more dwarven friends, which will be quite a happy thing. ”

"On the other hand, if you keep cowering in the ground, lacking food and food, the end result will be a shrinking population, and eventually this branch will perish. The dwarves are a great race, are you willing to live with such a fate? Believe me, I sincerely invite you to live with us. I can't promise what I'll do with me, but I'll be able to live a plain and happy life, and that's exactly what I'm trying to do. ”

Yalu looked at Xu Zheng seriously, unable not to be moved by his statement. He really didn't believe in humans, but at this moment, he just wanted to believe the teenager in front of him. His words were not flashy or gelding, but through his narration, Aru sensed what he wanted to believe: sincerity, and real life.

After thinking about it, Yaru asked, "I really want to believe in you." Starkey must have told you about our current situation. We are now in a difficult situation, and even if we can hide underground for a longer period of time, the end result will only be the part that survives and is fed by mushrooms provided by the cavemen. Optimistically, if we tighten our belts and get by, we can survive a thousand people, and the rest can't escape the fate of waiting for death. As a patriarch, I also want to seek a chance for my people to survive. I have to admit that what you said really touched me, and from the bottom of my heart, I was 100% willing to believe you. But are you sure you can feed more than 7,000 dwarves? Can we really take advantage of you to have a good life? I have to think for my own people, dwarves like freedom, and I would rather kill them with my own hands than be slaves!"

Xu Zheng smiled: "I understand your concerns. To be honest, I'm not interested in being a slave owner, and I'm not interested in being a human trafficker. To exaggerate, I want to realize an ideal of having all races live together in peace and join forces to build the continent of Aris. All races have been hating each other for too long, and I hope that with my own hands, I will break this deadlock and create a new era, a beautiful situation in which all races will work together. Personally, I also want to use the power of the dwarves. Dwarves are a race that can be crafted well, and I need dwarven mining skills, casting skills, and in one point, I am not without selfishness. It's just that this selfishness is not just for personal gain, of course, I don't deny that I am very happy in the process and can enjoy the beautiful fun of creating together. When I say that, Patriarch Aru can understand, right?"

Yalu nodded, he almost understood Xu Zheng's thoughts, and his eyes towards Xu Zheng became eager and slightly excited. This man's ideal has surpassed the inferior ** dominated by interests and power, and what he wants to find is an essential happiness, which seems simple and plain, but is actually extremely noble. He is willing to do whatever he can, just to live a better, happier, and more authentic life. This also means that a person's happiness is not happiness, when everyone around him, all his friends and relatives are living happily, he can feel this infected happiness.

What kind of person is it, and what kind of things must be experienced to give birth to such a peaceful, seemingly small but noble attitude towards life?
