There was no panic on the half-elf boy's face, and he continued.

"Quaid does have a background, he is the leader of the Brotherhood of the Dark Streets, and he has a good uncle named Harvey, who is from a noble background, but did not inherit the title in the end, and is now the butler of a lord in the town hall. ”

"So, his death is dangerous, and both the Black Street Brotherhood and Old Harvey will pursue it, which is very dangerous. ”

Loki's gray eyes flashed with determination, and he continued, "But it's me, not the three of Hazel, who are in danger, so I beg you, Teacher Olivia, to take them in." “

"You've seen them, and you'll know that Ned and Lynn are good helpers, and four-year-old Hazel is smarter and stronger, and if you want to find another student or helper, Hazel is up to the task. ”

Hearing this, Hazel covered her mouth with her little hand and said in shock: "Brother Loki, what about you, what are you going to do? Don't go......"

The others all looked at the half-elf boy in surprise, as if they hadn't been able to guess why he had said this until now, and why he hadn't stayed.

Duncan the Minotaur said urgently, "Little half-elf, where can you go as a child?"

Olivia frowned, "Have you already thought about it?"

Loki nodded and said, "That's right, kill Quaid, if I stay and hide in the city, it will be the stupidest choice, not only Hazel and they are all in trouble, but I myself will not be able to escape." ”

Glancing at the panicked little girl comfortingly, the half-elf boy said in a deep voice.

"So, it was best for me to leave alone. ”

Olivia said, "So where are you going?"

Loki smiled, "Everyone knows that I'm going to get out of the city, to take refuge in the nearby fog watchtower north, or to escape by boat down the Cooper River, and of course I'm not going to break my promise." ”

After speaking, he looked at the two beggar companions who were in a daze on the side, and said: "Ned and Lynn, from today onwards you are no longer beggars, and you don't have to live a life of begging and being beaten, but you still have a huge responsibility - Hazel, she will be to our sister, understand?"

Four-year-old Hazel was already crying like a tearful man next to her, her little hands couldn't wipe the tears from her big eyes, and for a while her snot and tears wiped her entire little face.

Ned and Lynn also looked at the crying little girl and nodded solemnly.

Loki said in a low voice, "If you don't take care of her, I won't spare you when we meet again, understand?"

"We understand, Loki, you take care all the way. ”

Duncan the Minotaur scratched his head and said, "Little half-elf, it seems that you have already thought about it, and I am worried about you in vain." ”

"Thank you Duncan, there's one more thing I need your help with, I want a map you've used and marked. ”

The minotaur laughed, "I knew it wouldn't be so easy to dismiss you, you cunning little half-elf. ”

Olivia had taken a relatively elaborate map, which marked a number of routes to the north, and there were two marked routes to the Misty Camp not far from the Fog Castle.

Further north on the map, you'll cross the Cooper River and then a dense jungle no-man's land, with a safe trade route and two adventurer's trails, but the surrounding wilderness is not suitable for ferocious beasts.

......

Goodbyes are always short-lived, and Loki doesn't dare to stay here long.

After a long time, it may make people suspicious, and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone, and the half-elf boy quietly disappeared into the night outside the circus.

Continuing through several uninhabited city paths, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the sonic hearing system, more than one person's footsteps, and a few subtle metallic grinding sounds were carefully analyzed.

After a while, Loki's faint vision clearly saw that it was more than a dozen night patrol soldiers wearing upper body armor, and the half-elf boy was hidden in an inconspicuous dark place in advance, and easily avoided this wave of night ban inspections.

At the same time, the optic nerve image also quietly collects information, and analyzes the general attributes through the soldier's marching pace, body movements, etc., the highest attribute is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, at most it is the strength of a second-level vocational apprentice, and even if it is discovered, it can easily escape.

There was silence around the corner, and as he reached the door of Daddy Hammer's weapons store, Loki didn't choose to knock on the door, but instead made a detour to the backyard wall, found a few crevices to climb, and quietly climbed over the back wall.

It was pitch black in the weapons shop, but the darkness did not affect him, and the half-elf boy found the old dwarf's room familiarly, and knocked on the door gently.

"What kind of bastard, disturbing Daddy Hammer's rest. ”

The old dwarf opened the door, and he was wearing his pajamas and reading glasses, with a ridiculously long nightcap on his head, and a thick memoir in his hand that was half-opened.

"It's you, little Loki, you've been beaten and escaped, and seeing how badly wounded you've been, you should have left that damn place. ”

Loki smiled and said, "Hammer Daddy, I'm here to pick up the last batch of custom-made weapons, and I'll say goodbye to you by the way." ”

The old dwarf hurriedly put down his reading glasses, walked out of the house, and said anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" Are you afraid that I won't let you stay in the shop?"

There was nothing to hide from the old dwarf who cared about him, so Loki quickly picked out a brief remark and asked about his weapons.

The old man shook his head and sighed, the dwarves were stubborn, but they weren't stupid, and the old dwarf understood why Loki had to leave.

One after the other came to the weapon shelf, the old dwarf helped to pick out some weapons and tools of moderate weight and good quality, "Dogleg knife, mountain knife, sawtooth dagger, crossbow, what are you carrying such crossbow arrows for, can you hold it?"

Loki nodded and said, "I'm running for my life in the wilderness, but it doesn't have to be just the danger from behind, of course, I have to be as prepared as possible." ”

The old dwarf thought for a moment, and felt that he seemed to be right, so he said no more.

After the weapons and other tools were packed, the old dwarf took out a small black hammer from the bedroom, and the small hammer about the size of the palm of an ordinary person was engraved with some words on it, which was not a common language used by humans, and Loki could not recognize it.

"This is a token of our Brute Hammer family, every dwarf surnamed Brute Hammer will have such a small thing to identify the quality of the ore, and the dwarven text on it is engraved with the name and achievements of the owner. ”

"Take it, take the path in the Divine Mist Forest to the north, no more than half a month away, and you will find the Grey Wall Adventure Town, where my nephew Pigu Brute Hammer is located, and he will definitely take you in. ”

Looking at the old dwarf with a solemn face, Loki nodded gratefully in his heart, and turned out to be the dwarf's token, which may be a good place to go.

"Alright, little half-elf, get out of here now, I won't want to see you again in a year or two. ”

"Goodbye, Hammer Daddy. ”

The old dwarf did not want to see the scene of separation, but sighed and returned to the bedroom, he opened the thick notebook again, and took a quill pen with some unpleasant taste......

Then there was a low chirp of a goat in the backyard, followed by the sound of Suo leaving, and he hurriedly pushed open the small wooden window, only to see the back door that was quietly closing in the dark.

"Hey, little half-elf, you actually stole my old goat, what a cunning little bastard, I said, how can you carry such a heavy thing. ”

The old dwarf smiled and patted the table, then picked up the pen in his hand.

The old goat also left, and no longer had to stay in the boring sheepfold, but embarked on another unknown path, just like the younger me. ”
