Chapter Seventy-Four: The Second Meeting of Dwarves and Humans
I dreamed of that pale girl again...... This is the second time I've met her. They always seem to be able to talk for a long time in their dreams. However, whenever she woke up, she always forgot what she had said to her............
Flocks of migratory birds flew over the heads of the crowd with hoarse and unpleasant cries. In the dark of night, it was hard to tell whether it was the roar of soul fragments flying through the sky, or a pair of hungry eyes. But the most attractive thing or the monster's attention is still the strange "meteorite" that has not stopped since yesterday. Igusi swore with the large guillotine he held in his hand that it would be the greatest luck of his life to see this mechanical creature that was "beautiful" in his eyes.
The weather seemed to be still heating up, and the palms of the people who had been disturbed by the sound of blunt objects in the morning were a little sweaty. It's rare to see a lazy alchemist doing something so enthusiastically and seriously. What's more, under his feet, the objects that still creak are indeed curious.
Several antbears covered in bone armor swaggered along, and their penchant for keeping everything they could carry as a collectible has always been one of the most annoying aspects of their relatively mild temperament. — because there are very few things that they can't lift.
Seeing the stupid big man gradually approaching, Igusi gradually stopped the dismantling work at hand, and glared at the antbear who wanted to come over and have a good time. For a great alchemist who has no hope of advancing in his life, research and the unknown are already all his hobbies, and if this kind of mechanical creation that falls from the sky is taken away in front of his eyes, it is better to let them sit on his head and die to death.
Thereupon...... , after confronting several antbears four or five meters tall for a few seconds. Igusi gave up the egg-shaped container under his feet in the disdainful gaze of everyone. The old man who jumped down from the ejection pod snorted coldly, turned his back on his face, and walked away as if he had won a battle.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................
It looks like the ejection capsule that has been broken in half by a huge force is more miserable, how miserable. ...... The propulsion units, which make up half of the entire fuselage, have long since disappeared. The originally smooth and flat surface has also become potholed due to close contact with the earth. The iron-colored hard shell was worn and shattered, revealing the metal gears beneath that were so delicate and familiar to humans.
Tucker thought he had a dream in which he slept with countless monsters staring at him with greedy eyes.
A cloud of dust that had been shaken down suddenly blew on the dwarf's bearded face, waking Tucker, who had fainted after the catapult pod collided with the earth.
The dwarf shook his head with a headache, narrowed his sleepy eyes slightly, and raised his hand to reach the rum that had been placed in front of the bed and had never been willing to drink, to crush his fragile little heart. A hard enchanted glass plate......
That's when Tucker realized where he was going. Suddenly raised his head.
"Bang!"
"Damn, short ......," Tucker clutched his head against the wall of the ejection bay, groaning in pain.
..............................
The people who were sitting outside watching the excitement on monitor lizards heard a loud thud, and then saw three antbears lying on top of the mechanical creation stand up sharply as if they were frightened.
"Do you think I'm a coward? I knew there was a trap before I deliberately found a substitute. Igusi, who was standing next to Kerr, braged about his "wit" without a face.
Then, a sudden groan from the mechanical creation caught everyone's attention..................
Covering his head with painful eyes, Tucker finally came to his senses and began to observe the outside world through the cracked skylight. ...... Nothing can be seen, and the black night seems to cast a veil of mystery over everything in the world, allowing the snoopers to perceive the world around them only through conjecture and sound.
Tucker struggled to his feet. Some of the dwarves, who were dazed, groped around for a while, found a black hand gate, and slowly pulled down to open the protective glass window.
Awakened, Tucker was anxious to get a glimpse of what was going on around him through the faint afterglow that emanated from the earth.
...... On the other hand, the frightened antbear obviously can't resist its curiosity and wants to find out. The four heads of the three big and the small one are clinging together through various coincidences.
“......”
I think Bitak's heart must have collapsed at this time. However, he didn't expect that when he fainted again, it caused an uproar in the crowd.
A human? People watched in shock as Tucker poked his head out of the mechanical artifact and was stunned. A human dwarf?...... Got out of a non-human crop that fell from the sky. This unexpected scene surprised even Ker, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines.
"It's a dwarf. An old and crazy voice suddenly rang out in the ears of every panicked human.
"Although it does look a lot like a dwarf. Zhang Zhou walked out of the separated crowd steadily. It seems that curiosity is always a good virtue in the blood of human beings.
For an old man who has lived through the Age of Light, the dwarf race is never far away. The old man walked to the "door" of the ejection chamber with some nostalgia and some sadness, and several ant bears stepped back as if they were scared enough distance from the old man and kept roaring as if threatening.
Once upon a time, dwarves were also once hidden allies of humans. Rough in appearance but ingenious in their minds, they transported crossbow arrows, cannons, and even technology to the solemn but still immature "Elpis" in the sun, giving humans enough time and strength to resist the pace of invasion of the celestials.
Although humans have also handed over several "blackstone" veins. However, the fact that the dwarves did not take advantage of the danger of mankind but instead gave charcoal in the snow has always been a commendable thing among the few people who know this history.
It's a pity......
The dwarf is still the same dwarf, but humanity is no longer in its former glory.
Zhang Zhou, who was already old, raised his head and looked at the young man who was as immature as "Elpis" at the beginning,——Old friend! I hope your choice is the product of careful consideration......
"Someone! tie him up. ”
