Chapter 58: The Mystery (2)
After some conversation, everyone knew that this edible dwarf was called Quincy, and it was too complicated to translate the full name into the lingua franca of the Federation, so the dwarf didn't say it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
According to Quincy, their clan was suddenly teleported here from their underground castle more than 300 years ago, and fortunately there were not many bounty hunters who could come here, so Quincy's clan has been living here in peace.
The place where Quincy lived before was what was called the Abyss. But according to Quincy, that place was not at all what everyone knew.
According to the Federation, all creatures in the abyss are aggressive, and even the sapient races are predatory. It is precisely because of this indoctrination that everyone in the Federation regards all creatures in the abyss as enemies of the past world.
But according to Quincy, they lived in a different place than everyone recognized. There were indeed demonic beasts in that place, but they were more intelligent races like dwarves. Moreover, a high degree of civilization has been developed, and the races with relatively long lives have even developed civilizations far beyond the Federation.
As for why he was teleported to the Federation and the Battle of Dawn a thousand years ago, Quincy couldn't give any explanation. Because these two things were not known to Quincy, who was born in the Federation. The honest dwarves were disappointed when they found this, and after a long silence they told the crowd that perhaps their patriarch, Goering, might know the details.
When asked why the dwarves were fighting among themselves, Quincy retorted loudly with a glaring eye.
"Those damn guys aren't members of our clan at all, they suddenly appeared a while ago and started attacking our clan non-stop. Patriarch Goering says they're demonized gray dwarves, and you'll have to ask him for more information. ā
It seems that this dwarf who is more than 300 years old should still be a young man in their group. Everyone couldn't help but sigh again: the lifespan of these short people is really enviable.
The general situation is almost asked, and the rest is the question about the chosen one. But at this time, Xiao was a little embarrassed, he really didn't want others to know this secret that might be related to the strength of the three of them.
Borg immediately saw the owl's embarrassment, and with the intention of making a good impression, Borg beckoned Hans to leave under the pretext of going to the surrounding guard. Berlet also called Zero Qi aside to tidy up her things and prepare for the next expedition.
In fact, when Quincy said the Chosen One, everyone heard it. They all guessed that this must be related to Tatsuno Castle's ability to use martial arts and spells at the same time, especially in the conversation just now, such an important issue, Tatsuno Makoto and the three of them never raised. If you can't see what this means, these guys are too ignorant of human feelings.
Seeing this scene, Quincy grinned a sly smile, as if the simple and simple dwarf just now was someone else.
"You want to know about the Chosen One, don't you?"
Seeing the expressions of the three of Tatsuno Makoto when they heard this, Quincy became even more proud, and stopped speaking with a smile.
"Tell us everything you know, and we'll let you go. ā
Tatsuno Makoto and the others immediately understood what Quincy meant, and it seemed that this dwarf was far from being as honest as he had shown. But this is also normal, no race can rely on simplicity to support their long life. Maybe they are very upright, but integrity does not mean that they have no brains, and if they were not clever, these little dwarfs may have been caught and bought by bounty hunters.
"Is this the only condition?" said Quincy, looking at the owl as she touched her thick beard.
Just when Xiao was secretly thinking about what other conditions could be offered to make Quincy speak, Tatsuno Makoto said coldly on the side: "Let you leave alive, this condition is enough." ā
Hearing Tatsuno Makoto's words, the smug smile on Quincy's face gradually disappeared. He didn't doubt the truth of the white-haired young man's words at all, especially since he believed that this guy also had the strength to do what he said.
Xiao secretly laughed in his heart, Tatsuno Makoto's character is still very useful at a critical moment. This kind of naked threat is too suitable for the current situation.
"What an impatient fellow, I'll tell you. Quincy looked at Makoto Tatsuno with an unwilling expression.
"I advise you not to try to perfunctory us. This guy next to you, yes, this guy with purple pupils, can easily tell if what you say is true or false, but at the cost of spending your long life as an idiot from now on. ā
Makoto Tatsuno pointed at the illusionist and threatened again, and the illusionist saluted Quincy very cooperatively. Seeing the illusionist's eyes staring at him, Quincy's body subconsciously trembled.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you all. Quincy took a big sip of the water bag, coughed lightly, and began to explain to the three of them.
The Chosen One is the unified name for creatures that can be proficient in both martial arts and spells on the continent where the Quincy clan is located. Legend has it that when the Lord God created life, he would weigh the strengths and weaknesses of that life on the scales, so as to ensure that every living being has its own strengths and weaknesses.
But the main god occasionally makes mistakes, and sometimes the advantages and disadvantages are not completely equal, so there are geniuses and mediocre talents. The Chosen One is the kind of poor and excellent life with too many advantages and few disadvantages, and is the existence that has been chosen by God to show the majesty of the gods.
After listening to Quincy's explanation, Tatsuno Makoto immediately began to chant the violent element of the incantation, even Quincy who didn't know the incantation could feel it, the frost in the owl's hands kept churning and condensing into two ice blades directly on Quincy's neck, and the illusionist's purple pupils lit up and reached out to press Quincy's head.
This kind of statement, which obviously seemed childish even to deceive children, instantly aroused the anger of the three of Tatsuno Makoto, if they didn't really want to know the secret of the Chosen One from Quincy's mouth, the three would have killed him on the spot.
Quincy's forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat, and her voice trembled and said, "I'm just kidding, why are you so serious." ā
Makoto Tatsuno resisted the urge to immediately turn this dwarf into slag and put away his furious energy. Quincy wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and let out a sigh.
"Okay, no kidding you guys. I've heard the patriarch say that each life can only master one of the martial arts or spells, but the Chosen One can master both. And the Chosen One has another title, which is called the Divine Punisher. Whenever the Divine Punisher appears, it brings a catastrophe that will bring about the destruction of all life. ā
Seeing that the expressions of the three of Tatsuno Makoto gradually eased, Quincy spread his hands helplessly and continued: "That's all I know, you can only ask the patriarch for more details." ā
After listening to Quincy's words, the illusionist's voice sounded in the minds of Makoto Tatsuno and Xiao: "This guy's statement, I think it should be true. This can be confirmed by our experience. ā
"It seems that we should talk to the patriarch of this dwarf before we look for the dragon. Xiao looked at the illusionist and Tatsuno Castle and thought in his mind.
Makoto Tatsuno did not participate in the discussion between the owl and the illusionist, and quietly watched the bonfire that was about to be extinguished. The matter of the reincarnation has not yet been clarified, and this is another divine punisher. However, it is somewhat too much to say that it brought havoc to all life, it seems that he only destroyed a few countries, but there seemed to be no such strange races on the continent at that time.
Quincy looked at the three of them who were all silent, and asked in a low voice, "According to the agreement, I have said everything I know, can I leave now." ā
"Yes, but only on condition that you take us to your patriarch. The owl replied.
"You liars, you didn't say that just now. Quincy suddenly felt that he was being teased by these three men, and the stubborn nature of the dwarves caused Quincy to immediately shout loudly.
But before Quincy could say the next words, a shout of killing had already sounded. Just where the dwarves were fighting, a teleportation magic circle appeared. More than thirty heavily armed dwarves rushed from inside, roaring.
Quincy saw the dwarf rushing over, with an excited look in his eyes, and then looked back at Tatsuno Makoto and the others, his eyes showing a hint of worry.
The vigilant Borg and Hans had already run back to the camp when the magic circle appeared, and Berlet and Zero Qi also came to the crowd at the sound of the illusionist.
Just as the battle was about to break out, Quincy, who had been ignored, suddenly dragged Belette to the ground and reached out to strangle his neck.
