The land of the mountains is a world of dwarves, but just as orcs are divided into different races, there are certain differences between dwarves. In general, dwarves are divided into three races, mountain dwarves, hill dwarves, and crypt dwarves. Among them, the mountain dwarves like to live on the top of the mountain, and have built a large number of mountain cities for their own residence, these dwarves are good at building, all the large buildings in the mountain country are all built by the mountain dwarves, and even all human parties like to hire dwarves to help them build buildings, and the buildings they build, whether in terms of materials or technology, are far superior to any other race, and any building can be guaranteed to not collapse and damage for thousands of years, and can still be used normally.

Hill dwarves like to live in valleys or hills, and their cities are built by mountain dwarves because they don't like to work with earthwork. In contrast, they prefer to forge and prefer to spend their lives with anvils and hammers, and the tools and weapons forged by them are each a fine piece and are loved all over the world. Throughout the Mountain Country, all the tools used by the Hill Dwarves were crafted by the Hill Dwarves in exchange for the assistance of the other two Dwarven races.

Crypt dwarves live underground all year round, and they are neither fond of building nor blacksmithing, but they have an innate interest in ores, and these dwarves have the most intense dark vision and a sharp movement that does not match the dwarves, and can move flexibly through mines and crypts. They like to be in the company of ores, and can make the most accurate judgment of all kinds of ores, sometimes even by grabbing a handful of dirt, they can see what kind and quality of ore is buried hundreds of meters or thousands of meters deep, and this judgment is almost never missed. They supplied the mountain dwarves with high-quality special stones, the hill dwarves with large quantities of metallic minerals, the mountain dwarves strengthened the mines and caves with construction techniques for them, and the hill dwarves provided them with mining tools.

In general, the three races are closely linked, and each of them is very important and indispensable. And the relationship between the three races is also very close, although there are racial differences, and the habits are different, but they get along with each other very harmoniously, and there are few major contradictions. However, after all, there are sometimes small frictions between races, and if the mountain country is ruled by only one race, the other two races will not be at ease, so the ruler of the mountain country is composed of three councils. This council, composed of one member elected from each of the three clans, is responsible for discussing and making various decisions to maintain the normal operation of the mountain country

However, the three-person council was only the prototype of the earliest rulers of the mountain country, and later, when goblins, humans, and orcs partially joined the mountain country, the three-person council changed from three to five, with goblins having one seat and humans and orcs sharing one seat. It can be said that every member of parliament represents the fundamental interests of their respective race behind them, and also holds considerable power, and these people must not only have a high prestige, but also have strong strength and excellent governing ability, and not everyone can hold the position. It is generally believed that each councillor is equivalent to the level of the two dukes of the human state, and what makes them more powerful than the dukes is that their personal strength is also very strong.

The five members of the adventure group also knew about this, but no one expected that they would hear the news about a certain councillor from a dwarf who happened to meet in the border range of the orc grassland, and it was said that it was related to her safety.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch Chiron. Catherine didn't rush to inquire, and nodded to the old leader of the horse clan: "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble early in the morning." But we're okay with that, and Mr. Bartow should have calmed down, so don't worry. ”

"That's good, that's good, we're all our benefactors and friends, and I really don't want to see conflicts between you. Kailong is very old, and after living for so long, his eyesight and experience are naturally rich enough, and he immediately consciously smiled and said: "You guys have a good talk, I will go to take care of the sick livestock, so I will not accompany you." ”

After Chiron left, Catherine lowered her voice and asked, "You mean, your commission is related to the safety of Councillor Serra? Are you sure? I remember that Councillor Serra himself is a powerhouse of the Legend Rank, how could he ......?"

"I can't say right now. Barto was silent for a while, and then said resolutely: "You help me find Ronne first, let me see your sincerity, and then I can tell you about the next tasks." Otherwise, if you hear about it and refuse to take the task, or if you are really not a good person, I dare not gamble with the safety of Lord Serra. ”

Everyone in the party looked at each other for a while, everyone's curiosity was aroused, Lina bumped into Pennis, and whispered, "Did you mean that Ronne when you said about the big trouble yesterday? If you know, tell him, I'm not angry." Also, big sister, I think everyone thinks this is quite interesting, let's go next. ”

Catherine thought for a moment and finally nodded to Pannis. Pannis sighed and walked over and patted Barto on the shoulder: "You know what, sometimes, our eyes can deceive, and what you see is not necessarily true. ”

"What do you mean?" Barto asked, stunned, "Does this have anything to do with finding Ron?"

"Of course it does. Pannis pressed his forehead with a headache, deeply regretting the dwarf's ability to understand: "I just want to tell you that the murderer you think is not necessarily the murderer, but do you think the missing Ronn is really missing?"

"Ron isn't missing?" Barto looked at Pannis, puzzled, "Why is that missing?"

"What do you think?" Pannis couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Forget it, come with me, let's go to Patriarch Chiron first, after all, in his tribe, it's too rude to do anything without telling him." ”

"Are you sarcastic that I'm being rude?" said Barto, glaring, "Even if you accept my commission, you can't just insult my character. ”

"Hey, it's the only time this is so sensitive. Pannis muttered, waved his hand helplessly and said: "I know, I know, it's okay not to insult your character anymore, if you continue to say this, it will delay your own time." ”

"Ah, let's go. Barto finally reacted and said eagerly, "Don't grind. ”

Chiron didn't go too far, he was kneeling beside the two newborn lambs in the middle of the camp, pouring medicine into the mouths of the lambs with horn utensils, and found several people walking towards him together, and hurriedly handed the medicine bottle to a female clansman beside him, stood up and patted the soil, and quickly greeted him: "A few friends of different races, do you have anything to do with me?"

"That's right, old patriarch. Pannis said, "I'm looking for a deer from your tribe, the taller one, can you take us to his tent to look for him?"

"You mean Biden, he went out to graze before dawn. Chiron was taken aback, and asked a little nervously: "What's the matter, Biden, does he have any offense? If so, when he comes back, I will ask him to make amends with you." ”

"No, no, no, nothing offensive. Pannis shook his head and said, "You'll know if you take us there, and I'll perform an illusion for you when the time comes, a very interesting illusion." ”

Chiron was not as sluggish as Barto, and immediately heard the other meaning in Pannis's words, and after a little hesitation, he walked towards Biden's tent with six people: "Biden is alone at home, so he goes out before dawn every day, and it is the same today, there is nothing abnormal." ”

"Eun, he's fine. Pannis nodded, "Patriarch Kailong, you can rest assured. ”

"Whew, that's good. Kailon breathed a sigh of relief and said gloomily: "There is no longer a loss of adult men in the tribe, I am really afraid that something is wrong with him, it's okay, it's okay." ”

The camp was small, and in a few minutes, you had already reached the door of a small tent. There could be no door to the tent on the grassland, only a thick curtain separating the inside and outside of the tent. Chiron didn't have any scruples, and directly lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by Pannis and Barto, because the tent was small, and several girls gathered at the door of the tent to look in.

As soon as Barto entered the tent, he saw Ronn sleeping on the ground on his back, not even knowing that his helmet had fallen off his side. With a look of surprise on his face, Barto quickly rushed over to help Ron up, shook Ron vigorously and shouted: "Ron Ron , Ron , wake up quickly, didn't you keep vigil last night, why did you run here and fall asleep?"

Ron was shaken awake from his sleep, rubbed his eyes in a daze, looked at the surrounding situation, and said half-asleep: "Captain, good morning." ”

"Not at all. Barto said angrily, "We've been looking for you for an hour, why did you get here?"

"Ah, yes, the assassin. Ron suddenly woke up, jumped up on the spot, and said in a panic: "Captain, no, one of those assassins has already caught up, I was keeping vigil last night, he suddenly broke into the tent, and I don't know what sprayed in my face, I fell asleep immediately, I didn't even have time to remind you, how are you, it's okay." ”

"We're fine. Barto said hatefully, "Are you really the same group of assassins again?"

"That's right, it's them. Ron's face was ugly: "I remember their appearance very clearly, and it is absolutely impossible to admit mistakes." Captain, let's hurry up, that guy is terrible, let's hurry overnight, and we will be able to return to Chongshan City in a few days, and we don't need to be afraid of them when we get there. ”

"Fool, what are you going to go overnight, and the sky is dawning. Barto scolded angrily, and said with some confusion: "But why didn't he kill you, but put you here?" Oh, I see, it must be because it's too late, so I put you in a tent where no one is there, and then try to force the news of the goods later, those bastards are so cunning." ”

"Is that really the case?" said Pannis, clasping his hands on his chest with a smirk, looking at Barto's face with amusement. (To be continued.) )
