Lukka didn't notice that the gnome in front of him stopped and almost tripped on him, but luckily Ollie grabbed his arm from the side and didn't fall on top of the captain of the guard.

"Is this a forbidden area? can't go any further?" Lukka asked, asking suspiciously, the road ahead and the houses and the rest of the town looking indistinguishable, and there were no boundaries where the gnomes had stopped.

"No, no, don't I still have these boxes in my hand? we have to go to the storehouse to register first, anyway, the mayor's house is in front, and the highest house at the end of the road is, can you walk over there yourself?" said the captain of the guard.

Lukka looked at him, this dwarf was holding three wooden boxes in his hands, almost completely blocking his view, it was not easy to get all the way here, there was really no need for him to stumble so much anymore.

Moreover, even if the dwarf's calf is fast, the step length is not enough after all, and the speed is much slower than Luca's own walking, and he has been walking and waiting for the other party to catch up along the way, so it is better to walk forward happily.

"Alright, goodbye then!" Lukka said.

"Wait, there's one more thing!" the captain of the guard called out anxiously, and Lukka retracted his leg and turned his head.

The captain of the guard gestured to one of his men next to him, and his man immediately understood, walked to the side, took a card from his coat pocket, and handed it to Luca.

"I'm sorry, I have all my hands and can't give it to you myself," said the captain of the guards, blushing, "This is my business card, please tell him when you see the mayor, it was the captain of the second squad, Linna, who invited you to go." ”

Lukka took the business card and put it in his pocket, along with the business card of the port Rak.

Seeing that Luca did not refuse, the guards captain's subordinates couldn't hold back, and after obtaining the consent of their commander, they swarmed around him and stuffed their business cards one after another.

In a few moments, Lukka collected a thick wad of paper in his hand.

"What kind of habits are these?" Lukka muttered as he watched the group of dwarf guards leave happily.

The mayor's house was indeed not far away, and after a few minutes, Luca bent down and knocked on the knocker on the door.

The gnomes in the porter took one look, and without asking them what they meant, they ran upstairs to inform the mayor.

Soon, a dwarf who looked some age opened the door and walked out. He was bald on the top of his head, had a gray goatee on his chin, and wore a pair of heavy, black-rimmed glasses on his face.

It was not yet seven o'clock, and the dwarf mayor had probably not gotten up yet, wearing only thin pajamas, thick cashmere slippers on one foot, and slippery on the other, and he had not even had time to put on his socks.

He circled around Lukka a few times, and his beard was so excited that he was about to reach the sky, and he kept muttering, "Human!

Lukka regretted it a little now, and he simply doubted that this crazy old dwarf would take himself apart and study it.

He coughed lightly to attract the other party's attention: "That, remind me, I'm a living person, not a specimen!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Mayor Mare quickly apologized, "I'm so excited to see humans, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, are you the mayor here?" we want to ......" Luca could finish his sentence as the hem of his coat was lifted.

"Can you take this off and show me what your human limbs and torsos look like?" said the mayor, who noticed that Lukka had several layers underneath his coat.

"No!" Lukka snatched the hem of his shirt back from his hand, "Don't do it!"

"Oh sorry, sorry, I'm doing my old thing again. The mayor pushed his glasses and apologized sincerely, "I can't be here if I want to see it, it's so cold, you see I'm old and confused." ”

"You can't look anywhere, it's privacy!" Luca felt that it was a great mistake for him to come to the mayor for the words of the gnomes.

"But you're a man, aren't you?" muttered the mayor, but was quickly relieved, "That's okay, I'll just ask some questions, okay?"

His porter finally retained some sanity and reminded: "Your Excellency, do we invite guests in first and then ask, you are dressed like this, and the weather is so cold, whether it is you or the guests, standing in this outlet, it is easy to catch a cold." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm so confused!" the mayor patted his head, turned around and made a "please" gesture, "Hurry up, please come in! You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

The mayor said this, but Lukka didn't move.

He looked at the crazy mayor and considered whether to go back to the Peregrine Falcon and find a more reliable island to inquire about the situation.

The building behind the mayor was just over a meter tall on each floor, and the height of the two floors was about the same as Daniel's. The doorway is only less than fifty centimeters wide, and it is unlikely that even Thea will be able to squeeze into it, let alone an adult like Luca, who is 1.8 meters wide.

The mayor also came to his senses: "Oh, you see I'm stupid again, how can you get into this house?"

He pointed to the street to the west and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall!

As he spoke, he walked away.

"Your Excellency!" shouted his porter anxiously from behind, "you have changed your clothes first!

The mayor looked at his clothes and saw that this dress was indeed not suitable for entertaining guests. He raised his head and said to Luca with a little worry, "Please wait here for me for a while, can you?

"Okay, you hurry. Luca can now see that these little ones really don't have any malice, but their startled personality is really a little uncomfortable.

Rather than try their luck on other strange islands, why don't you make a good inquiry here, in case these gnomes have any clues about ancient ruins and passages?

After a few minutes, the gnome mayor reappeared at the door. He changed into a solemn formal suit, and the expression on his face became solemn.

"Before I could introduce myself, my name is McCa's Finch, the Island Gnome, the Archon of Tajima, and the Mayor of Tajima. What are the names of the distinguished guests?" he said, holding out his hand to Luca.

"Luca Lester, human, mage, pirate. Lukka didn't hide it at all.
