Chapter 6: The Dwarf's Last Wish
Nangong was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly squatted down, and replied in a jerky language: "Hello, guest from afar!
The dwarf was also in good spirits, and there was a clear sense of surprise in his big eyes, and he continued to say in that dialect: "You...... Can you understand me?"
Its voice is high-pitched, sounding like the screams of a human child.
Nangong nodded: "Reluctantly." Are you okay, you seem to be injured, how can I help you?"
The dwarf shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, boy, but you can't help me. I was badly wounded, and I was about to return to the arms of the gods. It's just that I have a wish that I hope you can help me fulfill. ”
"Please say first, I'll do my best!" Nangong hurriedly said.
The dwarf gasped for a few moments, then spoke slowly.
It turned out that it really came from the group of drifting islands over the mainland, a place called "Satolaha", which in human language means "Storm City", called Aruba, Kunisana, Kuchi, Asura......
The name is very long, and it is very awkward, and Nangong can't remember it at all.
"Young man, you can call me Aruba. Dwarf Aruba said slowly.
"Hello Mr. Aruba, my name is Nangong, this is my friend, Liang Zi. Nangong hurriedly introduced himself.
Aruba's eyes showed a deep hatred, and he continued: "There are traitors in the city of stormwind, they have betrayed the great dwarves, taken refuge in the evil Centaurs, captured the city of stormwind, ......and all the people in the city have been sacrificed!
Nangong listened to it with a pang in his heart, the matter turned out to be related to the battle of different races, he was just an ordinary human being, I am afraid that he would not be able to intervene, as soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Liang Zi.
Liang Zizheng listened blankly to his communication with Aruba, and when he saw him coming, he smiled at him toothlessly with an inquiring look.
At this time, Aruba seemed to see his concern: "Young man, you don't have to worry, with your strength, you can't intervene in this war at all." I just want to ask you to help me with something. ”
It reached out and took the glowing orb beside it, stuffed it into Nangong's hand, and said, "This thing is called 'Dwarven Engineering', it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the dwarven tribe in Storm City, and it contains the essence of science and technology for so many years. ”
After taking a few breaths, Aruba continued: "There is a place on the Lost Continent called Qinglong Academy, you should know this place, I want to implore you to help me hand it over to Dean Fu Qinglong, and he will naturally deal with the rest of the matter." ”
Qinglong Academy! This is exactly what Nangong has not forgotten in the past few years, how could he not know!
"Kind boy!"
Aruba grabbed Nangong's hand tightly, grabbed Liang Zi's hand and folded it together, and a ray of hope burst out of his eyes: "I can feel your heart, very kind and pure, just like this girl." You're going to help me, aren't you?"
Nangong glanced at Liang Zi, then nodded solemnly and said, "If it's just sent to Qinglong Academy, I will definitely be able to do it!"
Aruba smiled and looked very relieved, and his round eyes showed a deep sense of appreciation: "Brave boy, thank you for your help! You will gain the friendship of our dwarf clan! ”
As he spoke, he took off a simple bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Nangong.
Nangong received it in his hand, only to feel that it was as light as nothing, the material was not gold or stone, simple and unpretentious, and there was a light blue spar inlaid at the top, and he didn't know what material it was made of, let alone what it was used for.
Although the dwarf is short, his limbs are unusually thick, and this bracelet is three points larger than Nangong's wrist, and it is extremely loose on his hand, and it will slip out at any time.
Aruba explained: "This is the space bracelet, there are some gadgets in it, all of which are made by me with my own hands, and you can take them out if you use your divine sense to probe in." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and tapped the bracelet on Nangong's hand somewhere, and the bracelet slowly contracted, and in the end, it was properly attached to Nangong's wrist, and then settled, which was very magical.
But Nangong didn't have the heart to pay attention to these details at all now, he could see that the dwarf in front of him was almost running out of oil, and said with concern: "Mr. Aruba, may I ask if you have any unfulfilled wishes? Say it, I will do my best to complete it for you!"
Aruba shook his head lightly, looked at Nangong and said slowly, "If you can, I hope you can personally send my body back to my hometown, Storm City." According to the custom of our homeland, if the body of a dwarf who has died in a foreign land can return to his homeland, then his soul will also rest in peace......"
Its voice gradually weakened, and in the end it was almost inaudible, and if it weren't for the silence of the surrounding environment, Nangong would not have been able to hear it at all.
"I ...... Do your best!"
Nangong promised in his mouth, but he knew very well in his heart that this promise might not be realized. It's just that he didn't want to watch this wise dwarf die with regret in front of him, so he had to agree for the time being and talk about comfort.
Aruba looked at Nangong calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then slowly closed his eyes.
"May the gods bless you, good young ......"
Its hands hung limply.
It's dead.
A life passed away in front of his eyes like this, and Nangong suddenly felt inexplicable sadness.
The cave suddenly darkened, but the light of the bright fluorite disappeared, and only the 'Dwarf Engineering' in Nangong's hand was still glowing with a very faint fluorescence in the dark, but it couldn't illuminate the darkness in the cave at all.
Liang Zi groped for the position of the Ming fluorite, rubbed it a few times, and the light in the cave returned, and suddenly said strangely: "Huh, Nangong, look!"
Nangong looked at it when he heard this, but saw that Aruba's body was shrinking......
No, it's condensing!
A lot of water continued to flow out of it, and in the blink of an eye, its corpse turned into a small teardrop-like pale blue crystal, about the size of a fist, hidden in the clothes it had been wearing.
Nangong turned out this spar, but found that this spar was extremely dry, it was not a drop of water, and it was shining under the light of the bright fluorite, just like the eyes of its owner before his death.
At this time, Liang Zi asked gloomily, "Is it ...... Is this dead, or is it ......?"
Nangong shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's dead...... According to it, it is to return to the arms of the gods, may it rest in peace......"
Liang Zi was sad when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Then what did it say before it died, I saw that you have been talking, but you can't understand a word." ”
Nangong said a little more about Aruba, and then said, "Let's go back...... This matter must be considered in the long run!"
"Hmm!" Liang Zi replied, picked up the fluorite and was about to walk out.
Suddenly there was a loud laugh at the entrance of the cave: "Hahahaha...... I didn't expect that there would be such a miraculous encounter with the two of you out of the city! What a blessing from heaven!"
"Nangong, you waste, hand over the space bracelet and the 'Dwarf Engineering', and the little master will spare you from dying!"
