Chapter 17: Janus and the Dwarves' Beards
"Lucky dwarf, you've been chosen by the Gate of Costs. Nubis covered her mouth and snickered.
Knowing the bad taste of the Gate, he began to look forward to what would happen next.
Gang Ze's eyes widened: "Isn't there still Raikkonen who didn't press it?"
He glanced back at the Assassin behind him, and saw that Raikkonen was clapping in celebration of the dwarves coming out on top.
This gloating slut!
Gonzawa immediately downgraded Raikkonen's impression and labeled him a traitor.
"Enough touching! Let go of your dirty hands, ugly dwarf. The Gate of Price roared, "The old lady is a cardamom girl. ”
"Phew!" Gang Ze suddenly let go of his hand and scolded secretly, "If you are a cardamom girl like a bird, Lao Tzu can say that she is Zhengtai." ”
"Janus, it's been a long time, can you come in?" Nubis, the guide elf, respectfully greeted the Gate of Costs.
Hearing someone shout his name, an elf about the size of Nubis popped out of the Price Gate.
The elf named Janus was lucky when he saw Nubiston, which was housed inside the dimensional gate: "Ahaha, Nubis, you have today." It's so funny, it's laughing at me!"
"Janus, please, help me. This is your territory, and they will never win against you. Nubis seemed to see a glimmer of hope, if Janusken, who was also a holy elf, rescued him, he wouldn't have to be so aggrieved.
"Save you?" said Janus dismissively, "Anyway, this girl's job is only to open the door, and nothing else has anything to do with me. Especially the lives of some people, I have never cared about them. ”
"Please, little Nuth, we're brother and sister, and you can't watch me being humiliated by these damned humans. Nubis's heart was broken, he didn't expect Janus, who was of the same kind, to be so ruthless.
Janus gritted his teeth and said, "Brother and sister, if you really thought of me as a sister, you wouldn't slander me in front of my father, saying that I like to watch the door the most." I don't have to spend endless years here alone, and I still have to be touched by those filthy humans from time to time. ”
When the owner of the Thousand Wishes Realm created the Thousand Wishes Realm, he created a lot of holy land maintenance elves like Nubis. They have their part to do their part to uphold everything in this realm of a thousand wishes. Since Nubis was the first elf to be created, he had the power to decide on the duties of the other elves.
At this moment, Nubis was speechless: "I, I, I think you misunderstood, I didn't, I definitely never said it in front of my father, you have to believe me if you say such a thing." ”
The tsundere Janus couldn't listen to Nubis's stammering explanations, and it seemed to her that Nubis was a villain who did have to suffer a little.
You must know that in the past, he always passed in front of him with adventurers on his toes, and when he left, he did not forget to ridicule his life as a guard dog. Now it's a good thing, the famous Thousand Wishes Realm Guide Elf actually became an adventurer's prisoner, and was beaten by Haibian.
Janus, who saw all this in his eyes, was so happy, and finally someone beat up this unpleasant brother and helped himself out of a bad breath.
Lidona was not at all interested in the old fighting spirit of the two elves: "Your name is Janus, how the hell can you open this damn door, we are now rushing to the Misty Glade." ”
Time was running out, and Lidona decided she had to pass all the trials as quickly as possible to reach her final destination.
Janus turned his head to look at Lidona and said, "You don't even want to buy a ticket? ”
Nubis, who was encased in the dimensional net, hurriedly shouted: "Sister Janus, let them release me, this price is worth it..."
"Shut up!" Lidona didn't hesitate to give Nubis a punch, and with a scream, the wizard elf was honest again.
"What kind of tickets do you need?" asked Naxi cautiously, not knowing what the elf in front of him was capable of. Now that Nubis has said that this is her home stadium, there must be a lot of headaches for them.
Janus glanced at the bewildered dwarf and said, "Then it depends on whether the dwarf is willing to accept my request." ”
Gang Ze was a little hesitant when he heard it: "Then what are you going to take from me?" ”
The dwarf regretted that he had brought a lot of treasured things with him, he didn't expect that there would be such an existence as the Price Gate in the realm of a thousand wishes.
"Haha, what's it, of course it's your most precious thing. Janus stared at the dwarf for a long time, and then said, "This girl is in a good mood today, so I won't trouble you." Dwarves, give me your beard. ”
"What? I want to give you this beard. As soon as Gang Ze heard this, he immediately protected only half of his snow-white beard, and shook his head violently, "This is not good, this is absolutely not good, you better change to something else." A beardless dwarf would be laughed to death, so it would be better to kill me. !”
As a dwarf who respected tradition, Gangzawa was well aware of what a long, large beard meant in dwarven circles.
That's more important than the amount of alcohol.
A dwarf with a male surname can be allowed to drink as much as he wants, but he is definitely not allowed to be without a beard. When they get together, the dwarves will laugh at the shortest beard first, and then compare it with other symbols of masculinity.
Originally, it was distressing enough that half of his beard was accidentally burned by Naxi, but now he actually wanted to lose half of his remaining beard in order to pass the door in front of him, and Gang Ze felt that this was unacceptable at all.
"No, no, let's change it, change it. Gangze's face was already flushed, "A beard or something is absolutely unacceptable!"
In Gangzawa's opinion, even if he chops off a hand, he must not shave off the remaining half of his beard.
Suddenly, Gangze was stabbed by Raikkonen behind him, and he looked back and found that Raikkonen had actually handed him a dagger. Puzzled, he asked, "What are you going to do here?"
"Cut it, it's only half left anyway, it's good to be symmetrical. Raikkonen, who rarely smiled, actually said this sentence with a smile.
"Raikkonen, you traitor, I've finally seen you for what you really are today. The dwarf Gangzawa was suddenly angry, "You guys die! I will never cut off the other half of my beard!"
After pestering for a while, the dwarf Gangze was finally persuaded by everyone to donate his remaining beard with tears in his eyes.
"Okay, the dwarf's beard has been collected!" Janus took Gangze's beard with a happy face, "Now that the ticket is given, I'll open the door." ”
Click.
The beautifully decorated disc in the center of the bronze door rotates quietly, and the surrounding parts seem to slowly rotate as well.
After a bang, the door to the price had opened.
On the other side of the door was an impenetrable mist, which seemed to be what Lidona and Nubis called the Misty Glades. After Naxi took a look, he felt a shudder at the scene in front of him. Consciousness told him that there was a greater danger in this strange woodland than in the Lost Prairie.
Just as everyone crossed the gate, Janus suddenly said, "Actually, you are right to do this, to arrest Nubis, the villain, and not give him a chance to carry out those intrigues. ”
After hearing this, Naxi stopped: "What did you say?"
And Nubis behind him is trying to excuse himself: "What are you talking about, Janus. Don't forget our duty!"
"Oops, oops. Janus smiled, "My duty has been completed, but Nubis, you don't want your own mission." Leading the way is not leading people to death. ”
"Don't say it, Janus!" Nubius, who had always been spineless, stiffened his tone and stared at Janus intently, as if to warn her not to say any more.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it! I wish each of you all the way to the end, although there is no possibility. With that, Janus disappeared into the bronze door.
"Hurry up, what's the fuss. Lidona, who was walking in front, called out to Naxi, who was in a trance.
"Well, yes. ”
Naxi, who was troubled by the conversation between the two elves just now, trotted a few steps to catch up with the large army.
Janus's last words lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what was the mission of the guide elf Nubis?
Is it really as Janus said, he will bring death to everyone in the team?
