Section XXVII

The Otherworldly Mastiff, a spirit animal from the upper planes, is said to have inherited the bloodline of the grace of the ancient god of fate, not only has an excellent sense of sight and smell, but the most peculiar thing about them is that they have a strange innate instinct, a talent similar to premonition that makes the tracking mastiff the best adventurous companion. But few people had ever been able to summon such a legendary gift, not even most of the most learned mages, nor did Elf know it, but that didn't stop her from seeing through Sunderland's tricks under the guise of a magic scroll.

With the help of the ability of the otherworldly tracking mastiff, several people easily found the kobold's lair. The kobold's cave was in a small cave far away, and it took them more than an hour to get there, and they couldn't figure out why the kobold had gone so far to dig that passage, because it wasn't a rich deposit, but the kobold's lair. This narrow four-foot-high cavern dug by the kobold completely restricts the entry of all larger monsters or humans except the kobold, and only the little girl can barely climb into it, but William will never let the little one take the risk.

"There's nothing in there!" said Sunderland, who commanded the mastiff to rush in to check it, with a frowning nose, "only here the entrance is narrower, and further inside it is wider." Are we going to go in again?"

"Of course! I'm going to see how much good ore those bugs have stolen from me!" the one-eyed dwarf greedily stroked the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, an excellent open-pit deposit (open-pit ore?), almost the entire stone wall was made up of iron ore, and the old creature had taken it as his own, and had labeled the kobolds who had occupied the place "thieves".

"But we should check the distribution of monsters in the neighborhood first!" The other dwarf, Tog, objected, and the two dwarves then argued. The others hid to watch the excitement, and almost didn't move a pony. Among them, Singles came for the ore, because there are basically ore veins near the area where the kobolds gathered, Tog is one of the security chiefs of Miraba, and he is responsible for the safety of the city, Sunderland is here to experience the adventurous life, and no matter what the outcome, the Marquis of Erasturarim will take his fair share, William is a "working boy" who serves the one-eyed dwarves, and the little girls are "relatives and friends" who "eat and drink at public expense" and play soy sauce.

Old Singhs proved this "perfectly", and the one-eyed dwarf won the quarrel because he brought a pickaxe for mining, and the old man happily dug the hole with the pickaxe.

Sunderland happily squeezed the dwarven warrior who had failed in the quarrel: "You should be ashamed of your blindness and brainless words!' Say something 'I'll agree if you bring a pickaxe', don't you see the pickaxe on the old fellow's back!" The fall of the female archon made the hammer striker so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

"That's it! You should be ashamed!" Elf, who likes to play pranks, also added fuel and vinegar to the fan, and Mi Sha'er, who thought it was funny, also waved her little fist and shouted cheers on the side.

"Shut up!" roared the almost mad dwarf, his red eyes scaring the two little ones away, "damn it, little Sunderland, what the hell are you trying to say?"

The female archon playfully covered the corners of her mouth and laughed: "It's nothing! I just think you're fun and want to have some fun!" The dwarf who was dumbfounded by the thunder only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was actually stunned by anger when he roared. The little girl who was hiding behind William with her little head covered her little head poked her head out and asked a little puzzled, "Oh! Why did the fat Tog fall asleep?"

The old dwarf's digging speed was too slow, William and the others had already eaten twice, and Xiao Sha'er even slept in her brother's arms. This old guy was not digging a hole at all, but more like digging a pit, the hole was not much open for half a day, the entire stone wall was dug into more than two feet, and the ore dug down was almost piled into a small hill. Tog hid to the side and glared at the female archon, while Sunderland, who turned a deaf ear, took possession of Mi Sha'er's special winter wolf skin, half-lying and teasing the pet he had summoned, and the two little ones leaned next to him to watch with red eyes and hot saliva (to cute pets, of course, don't think about it).

Sunderland, who looked weird, smiled and asked, "Do you like it?" The two little guys nodded again and again like chickens eating rice, "Do you want to have one?" The two of them turned into kowtow worms again, "What about ......" Sunderland glanced at the two of them with a long voice, her eyes still fell on the top of Xiao Xiao's head, the little girl reflexively immediately hugged the helmet on her head with both hands, and ran back to William's side, her big blue eyes looked at her brother aggrievedly, William helplessly rubbed the little girl's little head under the helmet, pinched her pink little face and said: "I really can't help you! Okay! Brother will get a more cute little guy for you!" Mi Sha'er immediately ran back to look at the dog with a smile, ignoring Sunderland's depressed eyes.

William was speechless about the "bad" behavior of old Singers, and he said to Phinea, who was munching on bacon, "Phinea, lend me an axe!" Phineah, whose mouth was full of things, smiled at him, and picked up the ice axe beside him with one hand and handed it over.

"Old Singels, get out of the way!" William came to the cave with his great axe, his legs were condensed, and he swung out with his axe in both hands, and the stone wall containing iron ore was easily split into a large piece like wood. Then, in the horrified gaze of the crowd, William showed the people what it means to sharpen iron like clay, and the hard stone walls are like soft clay pinched and crushed by giant axes, and there is not even a spark when the larger gold stone hits. In nearly half an hour, William, who was like a god of the mountain, split a passage nine feet high, six feet wide, and nearly twenty feet long, and William, who was sour and unkempt, walked back to the rest area panting, and all the people hurriedly avoided it as if they were hiding from the plague god, and Xiao Sha'er also sat there with her mouth wide open.

William, who picked up the water bag and poured it wildly, looked at the dodging crowd and asked strangely, "What's wrong with all of you? ”

Who cares if you're clean or dirty, the weak-hearted Sunderland sneered awkwardly, "Haha, hehe, it's a little dirty, ah! The weather is so good today! The moon is so round!" The two dwarves and Elf also smirked in response. I'll it! This is underground! Big sister! Where did the weather and the moon come from?

Phinea looked at her axe stupidly, is this a legendary artifact? I didn't find it before? William looked at the female half-giant with some embarrassment to inspect the weapon, there were many scratches on the axe, and a large number of small gaps popped up on the axe blade, but it was caused by the large consumption of physical strength in the second half of the year, and it seemed that he still had a long way to go before his strength was fully recovered.

Not to mention William's cleaning of the dust on his body, eating and recovering his strength, the stunned Phinea walked into the passage with his giant axe, and slashed the edge of the stone wall with the axe in both hands, and there was a deafening loud noise, and the giantess with tears in her eyes dropped the axe and walked out. Hearing that the voice was wrong, William hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, but Phinea's tiger mouth was cracked, and his hands were shaken so much that he kept shaking, William rubbed his hands and massaged this stupid girl with a smile, and comforted her while relaxing her muscles and invigorating her blood, Phinea squatted down like a child and leaned against the man sobbing, the scene was as funny as it was.

Seeing this kind of funny scene, several people didn't feel frightened by William, and they were smiling and pointing on the side, and the little girl also ran over and hugged her brother's thigh to join in the fun.

The kobold's cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, and after William's excavation, the height of the original cave at this time is close to five feet, except for Phinea's large size, the rest of the people can barely enter. The kobolds' gathering place inherits the tradition of goblins - dirty, messy, and smelly!Sunderland uses "wind breathing" to blow away the air in the cave, and it is indeed much more convenient to have a mage present, of course, she is casting magic under the cover of the scroll.

The kobolds moved out in a hurry, and weapons (kobold type), ores, pickaxes, and various household utensils were scattered all over the place. After resting for most of the day, William felt exhausted, he picked up the giant axe dropped by Phinea, this silly girl may have a broken bone in her hand, and she can't use heavy tools for the time being, even if she drinks the healing potion, the effect is not as effective as the bottle that William used when he first saw Elf. A gap the size of a fingernail appeared on the blade of the giant axe, and William tried to slash at the place where Phinea had chopped, and as the blade touched the stone wall, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and an extremely hard object suddenly appeared in the stone wall.

William immediately grasped the handle of the axe with both hands, twisted his fingers on the trembling handle several times, and the rebounding giant axe was immediately thrown to the ground by him, and the axe smashed a stone pit a foot wide on the hard ground. Just a few movements consumed almost half of William's physical strength that he had just recovered, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Phineah's axe with a sad face, and the blade of the ice giant axe was completely broken off a piece half a palm-sized mutilation.

This is old Singers, who is churning the kobolds' ore accumulation, excitedly holding a fist of purple-black ore: "Oh my God! The supreme Moladin is on top! Look what this is! Torg! William! Look what old Singers has found! Haha! Adamantite!"
