White Mist Chapter 021 - Prologue
In the dimly lit fireplace castle hall......
Gone are the endless sounds of fire and crashing, replaced by silent silence.
The expedition is imminent, and all the Black Iron Dwarves are ordered to rest for the night, and will return to their former glory in the most high-spirited state......
And at this time;
Glenn Thorksen sat quietly on a throne made of black iron, his face sinking as he played with the dimly lit Molten Heart.
Suddenly, a panicked footstep broke the dead silence in the empty hall!
Thorxon's shrugged eyelids opened slightly, and he frowned, only to see a black iron dwarf warrior running towards him in a panic, with a look of horror!
"Patriarch!"
The dwarven warrior crawled to his knees in front of Soxon.
"Patriarch, it's not good......
The two subhumans who were locked up in the dungeon......
It's gone! β
He was terrified and trembled;
The expectation is to face the patriarch, more like to face a beast that is about to devour him!
Hearing the news, Soxon's heart jumped!
"Whoosh" to his feet, his fist clenching the Molten Heart nervously, almost crushing it!
It's gone?
Two abolitionist subhumans, one of whom is still half-crippled, locked up in a heavily guarded dungeon, and now gone?
This is a big fallacy! Unbelievable for Soxon!
Wanting to eat the dwarven warrior who was about to feed the news, Thorxon suppressed his anger and said, "Tell ...... clearly"
The dwarven warrior was terrified and didn't dare to look up: "Today...... Tonight, it was my turn to be on duty in the dungeon, and just now Captain Teddy and his entourage came down, saying that they wanted to bring some food to those two people, so that they would not die suddenly on the road tomorrow due to physical exhaustion......"
"I thought that those two people were easily captured by Captain Teddy, and they must have no combat effectiveness, so I didn't go down with Captain Teddy and the accompanying escorts...... But the two of them went for a long time and didn't come up, and I realized that something was wrong, so I thought to check it out, but ...... But ......"
The dwarven warriors tried their best to make the situation simple and clear, but the trembling heart could not be controlled.
It's a fear in the bones!
"But what!"
Thorkson looked at this waste subordinate, and he was anxious!
When the dwarven warrior heard the patriarch's loud drink, his body curled up in fright, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes and dripped on the ground, and even his bladder was a little weak......
"When I go down...... Captain Teddy was lying in a pool of blood, his shoulder pierced by a hunting knife! The accompanying guards were also lying on the ground, apparently dead, and the two sub-people ...... It's gone! β
When Soxen heard this, his pupils contracted, and the power of the furious Yuan Shen almost rushed out of his body!
I saw that he was walking like a shuttle, and his body almost turned into a ball of flames, and he rushed towards the direction of the dungeon!
The frightened dwarven warriors hurried to follow.
β¦β¦
Deep in the dungeon.
The faint glow of the fire reflected the points of light in the darkness and a corpse still warm.
All kinds of fierce beasts imprisoned in iron cages, bloodthirsty staring at the dwarven guards who were dying, a dangerous whisper rolling in their throats.
Not far away, Teddy was leaning against the wall, with a sharp hunting knife in his shoulder, looking at the dead man beside him with a somewhat vague face, and his breathing was weak.
Suddenly, Teddy felt some fluctuations in the air around him, and the damp and cold of his body gradually turned into heat; This made him quickly turn his head in the direction of the entrance to the dungeon and let out a deep breath......
A glimmer of fire appeared at the gloomy entrance; As the flash of fire quickly brightened, the temperature inside the prison began to rise sharply......
I saw a fireball coming from the doorway!
It's the anxious Soxon!
The beasts in the dungeon were the first to feel the abnormality, and they immediately lost their previous fierceness, and they all crawled on the ground with their tails between their legs, not daring to exceed the slightest rule.
Seeing this, Teddy, who was very nervous, hurriedly struggled to try to stand up, but Soxon quickly stood in front of him, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up!
Angry to the point that his face was distorted, less than two feet away from Teddy's nose, only to hear Soxon say fiercely: "What about people! β
Captain Bearskin, who didn't have time to speak, was like this, and the knife on his shoulder was cracked more and more severely, and bright red blood burst out! Teddy's face turned pale in an instant......
"Clan...... Patriarch! β
Although he looked in pain, Teddy gritted his teeth and insisted, "Those two sub-people...... It's so cunning! I didn't expect that the woman dressed as Orion was very powerful, and Bob and I teamed up to be easily defeated by her! β
He looked sadly at the corpse of the dwarf facing the ground, and wept and howled.
Bob ...... I will avenge you! β
Looking at Teddy with a mournful face, the coldness in Soxon's eyes did not diminish at all, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.
And Teddy, who was choked by Soxon, secretly looked at his patriarch from time to time with bloodshot and tearful eyes......
in his mind;
A few hours ago, in a cell not far away;
What the half-paralyzed man with glasses said to him!
β¦β¦
"If you want to get rid of Soxon, this is just the first step!"
When the sunlight was still shining into this cell, Luo Lei sat cross-legged on the ground.
And You Xiaobai was on the side, hurrying to eat, frowning and shaking his head from time to time......
On the other side, Teddy looked at Luo Lei in disbelief, his fists pinching his nails almost digging into the flesh.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too risky! β
Teddy thought for a moment and said, "The person guarding the dungeon tonight is a close confidant of Thorxon, I don't know him very well, what if he follows us down!" β
Luo Lei said: "Simple, aren't you the captain of the battle?" You can take a random Thorxon man outside and let him come down with you with the food; The Dungeon Guardian may be Thorxon's cronies, but you're not an outsider! Two dwarven warriors deliver food to two wasted people who have no combat effectiveness, isn't he still at ease? β
Teddy said, "Do you want to bring someone down?" So what to do with him? β
Luo Lei made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Teddy was a little moved and said, "You...... You want me to kill my own people? β
Luo Lei raised his eyebrows, looked at him like a fool and said, "Big brother, you are now engaged in a coup d'Γ©tat, how can this kind of thing be without sacrifice?" β
Then he looked at Teddy seriously: "Believe me, this will be the least costly method, and it will also be the method with the highest success rate, although I am not of your race, but I am not a madman who cares about human life, and now ......
You can only trust me! β
β¦β¦
Now, facing an angry patriarch, Teddy knew that once things started, there was no way back.
For the fate of the Black Iron Clan, he chose to bet on a sub-person he didn't know!
It's crazy, it's stupid, but it's really his only option.
Teddy, who has dealt with humans too many times and learned too much, is very sure that against the mighty Soxon, relying on force is pure suicide......
Only outwitted!
And his own IQ is obviously not enough, and he must turn to Luo Lei for help to have a chance to succeed.
This sub-person who can take out the heart of molten flame is no ordinary person!
Teddy even vaguely felt that even if Luo Lei was paralyzed, he felt like a lying tiger......
And yourself, you are seeking skin with the tiger!
Of course......
Soxon, who was in a state of anger, would never have known this.
He squinted slightly, looking at the hunting knife on Teddy's shoulderβthe one he had the impression of hanging from the waist of the female subhuman next to the man with glasses.
I didn't expect this female sub-person to hide her strength and dare to kill his subordinates...... The most hateful thing is that they still have the clues they want to get the most!
Molten Heart!
Soxon, whose mentality was almost bursting, didn't have time to think, let go of his big hand, waited until Teddy slipped to the ground, and hurriedly asked: "In which direction did they run!" β
Feeling his breathing become smoother, Teddy breathed a sigh of relief; However, the patriarch's momentum still frightened him, and he immediately replied, "I heard the conversation between the two of them before I fell unconscious, and it seems that I was planning to descend the mountain from the tunnel!" β
"Authentic!?"
Thorkson was slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "How do they know that there is an authenticity!" β
Teddy also looked strange, and said, "I thought it was strange at the time! But not only did they know that there was a tunnel, but the half-crippled male also commanded the female sub-human to find the way with ease! It's like ......"
He looked at the patriarch with a look of surprise and said, "It's like they've been to the Hearthburg!" β
Soksen was stunned, and subconsciously remembered that in the hall at that time, Luo Lei swore that he and the dwarves were friends.
Now it seems that what people said this time is true? But who is his so-called friend?
Is it a mole who fornicates with the second person in the Hearthburg, or......
He's a pawn of the dwarves of the hills!
A bad premonition crept through Soxon's heart.
But the most important thing right now is not this ethereal potential threat, but the Molten Heart!
At this moment, as the head of the clan, Soxon decisively left these chaotic thoughts behind!
"Strength! When the Infinite Molten Heart is at my disposal, these beam-jumping clowns will be burned by my flames! β
Thinking of this in his heart, Soxon took a step in an instant, and the raging flames poured outward.
Seeing this, Teddy, who was "seriously injured", quickly stood up and shouted in the back: "Patriarch! I'll chase them after you, and I'll definitely break them into pieces! β
With that, he ran with Soxon to the tunnel.
At the moment, everything is going towards that man's plan!
β¦β¦
Time back to the afternoon.
After remembering this statement, Teddy asked Luo Lei: "What if Soxon doesn't chase it in the first place?" β
Luo Lei asked rhetorically: "You should know your patriarch better than me, what kind of person is he?" β
Teddy replied without hesitation, "Impulsive, irritable, arrogant, and never give up until the goal is achieved......"
"Isn't this the end of it?"
I saw Luo Lei spread his hands and smiled: "The fat in the mouth just slipped away, how can your patriarch accept it?" Besides, he's not a person who thinks twice before he gets into trouble, so that's not something we should worry about! β
Teddy nodded, and suddenly felt that he had a point.
"But ......"
Luo Lei continued: "What we should be worried about is to lure him out......
Can you kill him? β
