The elf knew that he had seen Tucheng, even the most perfect and sharpest knife he had ever seen in his life, inky black, with the right width and narrowness.

Just one look at it is terrifying.

Because the knife was around his neck.

"Cold ...... Calm down. ”

In the alley, the man stiffened and said in a trembling voice:

"I stole something from you, and I'll double it back for you."

"You're an elf?" Xu Mu's face was suspicious, but he remembered that the book said that the elves were all blonde and blue-eyed, fairy-like women, but how could this guy be a man.

"Sort of." He stammered.

"It's clearly human." Qi Qi stood across from him, and saw the pale young man's face hidden in the shadows.

"It's not an elf, it's useless to keep it, kill it." Xu Mu clenched the hilt of the knife, and the intent of death was released, flowing into the man's brain.

"No, I'm an elf!" The man cried out in horror.

Xu Mu smiled and said coldly:

"This appearance also says that he is an elf."

"Are you stupid for me?"

As he spoke, his knife retracted a little.

"Because I'm half-blooded, my mother is a human, my father is an elf, and I only have half elven blood!"

The man, fearing death, hurriedly said.

Xu Mu smiled slightly, slowly put his left palm on the top of the elf's head, the meaning of death was pervasive, and said:

"Your name, your detailed origin, why you are here, who instructed you to do it, and what purpose you have to say, otherwise, I will search your soul!"

The man was startled, and hurriedly trembled:

"I ...... My name is Nash, I was born in a tribe on the edge of Alfheim, my mother is an ordinary person, I have never met my elven father, seven years ago, my tribe was destroyed by a sandstorm, and I couldn't find the elven kingdom, so I wandered to human towns and lived a life of stealing chickens and dogs. ”

"Well, go ahead." Xu Mu nodded and said.

Nash swallowed, his face darkened, and his voice was bitter as he continued:

"Because of my strange abilities, I stole things and never missed, but just a month ago, on the first day I came to Tucheng, I was caught by an old man."

"He forcibly signed a contract with me, telling me to use it for him, for ten years, he took the lion's share of the stolen treasures, otherwise he would kill me directly!"

"Old man." Xu Mu's eyebrows raised slightly, he also relied on the dragon ruler to catch this elf, that old man, what did he rely on?

"That old man, who lives in the forging shop in the east of the city, and the people in Tucheng call him Master Dega, the peak of the fourth stage, and he likes to build all kinds of weapons the most, so he needs so many materials."

Nash pointed to the magic weapon stolen on the ground and said weakly.

"Master Weapon Blacksmith, how can I find you?" Xu Mu asked suspiciously, among the people who chased and killed this elf, there was more than one fourth-stage lord, but they were all confused by the ability of this elf, how could a fourth-stage blacksmith catch him?

"I don't know, I'm still weird."

Nash shook his head and spoke with a bitter face:

"At that time, when I saw that the weapons in his shop were very good, I became ill-intentioned and wanted to disguise myself as a buyer and take the opportunity to steal some back.

Xu Mu: "In other words, before you made a move, he recognized your identity?" ”

Nash nodded, "That's right. ”

Xu Mu and Qi Qi glanced at each other, and after communicating for a while, they felt that what the half-elf man said did not seem to be a lie, so he took back the hunting knife in his hand.

"Don't think about running away, I have no ill will."

"I'm going into Alfheim to find the elven kingdom, maybe I need you to give me some clues, of course, it's best if you can go with me."

As soon as Nash got rid of the fear of death, he heard something like this, and he looked at Xu Mu with a bitter expression:

"I can't find it."

"Our tribe has lived in Alfheim for generations

My mother was the only one who had seen the elves once, and the rest of the time, the elves were just legends to us. ”

"That's your bad luck." Xu Mu said, with a serious face, "My luck has always been very good. ”

"Luck?" Thinking he had misheard, Nash muttered a repeat, which seemed ridiculous.

"It's not just luck, it's like I found you, there's always some special way." Xu Mu nodded and smiled, "If you don't try it with me, how do you know if it won't work." ”

"Are you willing to stay in the human world for the rest of your life?"

Nash was stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head:

"Of course I don't want to, I'm not used to the food and accommodation here, but I may not be able to get used to the elf world, I just want to meet my father and ask him why he abandoned his mother......"

Xu Mu nodded: "Then come with me to find it." ”

"But, I really can't find it." Nash looked tired, "And even if I wanted to, I couldn't help it, because I still have the contract on my body." ”

"I'll help you out." Xu Mu said.

"The peak of the fourth stage, can you solve it?" Nash asked in surprise, Xu Mu looked about the same age as him, how could he have that level of strength.

Xu Mu smiled slightly: "This is not something you should worry about, you just need to answer me, go, or not." ”

"I ......," Nash hesitated.

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it." Xu Mu took a step back to the side and gave Nash a way, "Within ten days, give me an answer." ”

"You're just letting me go?" Nash asked incredulously, he had thought that Xu Mu would blackmail him hard, or make some kind of pact with him like the old man.

"Of course, we have no grudges."

"Go back and think about it, I live in Qingyun Inn, the second room on the left hand side of the third floor, think about it, come to me at any time." Xu Mu patted him on the shoulder and said with a light smile.

Nash agreed, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he first took two steps vigilantly, and then turned into a black thick fog, which instantly dissipated into space.

"A type of space Dao method." Qi Qi looked at the black mist, and then turned his head to look at Xu Mu: "What should I do now, go back to the inn and wait for news." ”

"Go to the Hunters' Alliance and check on that old man."

Xu Mu picked up Xiao Qiqi, his figure flickered a few times, and soon disappeared into this alley.

……

"I'm sorry to bother you late at night."

In the incense and candle shop, Xu Muduan sat on the wooden table, and Le Lingyun moved out a bunch of bamboo slips at his request.

"This is Master Degas, all the information from the age of ten to the present is here." The girl pushed the thick bamboo slip in front of Xu Mu and said lightly.

Xu Mu nodded, and he was not polite, he immediately opened the first volume and read it, reading it seriously, until after half a pillar of incense, he put down the last scroll of bamboo slips with a strange face.

"Well, have you found anything?" Le Lingyun looked at Xu Mu calmly with his willow-like eyes.

"To my surprise, it's a little too normal." Xu Mu frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and then carefully filtered the information in his mind, and slowly spoke: "From the time he was ten years old to the age of eighty-nine now, he has been striking iron, he was a blacksmith when he was a mortal, and he has created many weapons and armor for the high-ranking officials and generals of the dynasty. ”

"What's the problem?" Le Lingyun frowned and asked, in her opinion, this is the life of an ordinary "ordinary person".

"When you were a child, did you want to grow up and open an incense and candle shop?" Xu Mu asked, looking at the girl's clear eyes.

"I ......" Le Lingyun heard this, and thought about it slightly, what she wanted to do when she was a child, it seemed that she had forgotten it.

"It may have been your intention to join the Hunter Alliance, but it should always be an accident to open incense and candle shops to watch the forbidden land."

Xu Mu's voice was soft, and he said lightly:

"You do what you want to do, or do what you don't want to do, there are always all kinds of things in the outside world that are holding you up and trying to get you off the track, which is irreversible, unless you have nothing to worry about, but that's impossible for most people."

"What do you mean...... I kind of get it. Le Lingyun's eyes were solemn, all of them

Thinking and nodding, she is only twenty-three years old now, and there have been many changes in her life that she is willing or unwilling, Master Degas has lived to be eighty-nine years old, and the things she has done in her heavy life are all the same, what kind of amazing perseverance does this have?

"It's not something that perseverance can do." Xu Mu shook his head, he couldn't figure out what kind of fanatical pursuit this Dejia master had for forging, he had never changed to another business in his life, and even after catching the elves, he had to threaten the other party to steal magic weapons for him to use as forging materials.

Going mad, maybe that's just it.

"Master Degas, it seems to be very short." As if he had thought of something, Le Lingyun's pupils dilated, and he said to Xu Mubi with a solemn face: "Only your waist is as high." ”

Xu Mu also seemed to think of something, he and Le Lingyun both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and spit out three words in their mouths at the same time: "Dwarf clan!" ”

Le Lingyun was terrified, and then ran in a panic to the basement where the bamboo slips were stored behind, and after rummaging for a long time, he finally found an ancient book made of parchment scrolls underneath.

"'Ymir Mythology', I originally only read it as a story, but if the dwarves really exist, then what is recorded on it is very likely to be true!"

Le Lingyun handed the book to Xu Mu with a solemn face, and the latter took it, and then with a heavy heart, he slowly turned the first page and read softly:

"Ymir, the giant god who created heaven and earth, was framed and killed by the villain, and his half-flesh body became a desert, called Alfheim, his eyebrows became the boundary wall between the boundlessness of space, blood and sweat became the sea, his bones made mountains, his teeth became cliffs, his hair became trees and grass, his skull hung above the earth and the sea, as the stars, the sun and the moon, and his brain was transformed into clouds."

"The other half of the corpse of Imir, decomposing and producing maggots, maggots born of glossy faces, white and beautiful, with a gentle personality, are elven fairies, they are favored by the world, they live in the elven kingdom in the air, do nothing, grow flowers and grass, and are separated from the world."

"The maggots born on the backy side of Ymir are called dwarves or gnomes, they are disliked by the world, they live in the land of underground gnomes, in order to be looked at, they always use the underground resources, digging treasures, making weapons, jewelry, in order to be looked up to by the world."

"Later, under the battle of wits and courage of elves, dwarves, and humans, the elves disappeared far away, the dwarves also returned to the underground, and Alfheim gradually became an ordinary desert."

Xu Mu read the above content softly, and then closed the ancient book, and the shock in his heart was a little irrepressible.

It turns out that the formation of this Alfheim is actually not much different from the domain of the night, which is formed by the death of the life that exists in the legend, and the domain of the night is a demon god, and this is a giant named Ymir.

"Do you know Ymir?" Xu Mu pondered for a moment and asked the Soul Demon God.

"I don't know, if this information is true, it can only mean that I am not in the same era as him, or not in the same time and space." The demon god replied lightly.

"Okay." Xu Mu nodded solemnly, since this is the case, he doesn't have to bother to guess something, he is almost sure that Master Dega is the legendary dwarf clan, so he is obsessed with forging!

"Today's events, please keep them secret." After a long time, Xu Mu calmed down and said to Le Lingyun with a solemn face.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing, even if you say it, others won't believe it, they will only think it's a coincidence." Le Lingyun said lightly, in fact, she doesn't believe it very much now, that Dega is the legendary dwarf clan, because this is too unbelievable.

It's just that if she knew that Xu Mu had already caught a half-elf, then Le Lingyun's attitude towards these things would definitely change greatly.

"There's a lot of trouble, it's late at night, let's rest early." Xu Mu clenched his fists, and then slowly retreated, Le Lingyun also nodded, she sent Xu Mu out of the door, and was just about to wave goodbye, but in front of the dim incense candle shop, a person came up to her.

"Why are you here!"

Ma Chuan, who had just returned from supper, looked at Xu Mu who came out of the incense and candle shop, and was slightly stunned, but before he could react, he saw Le Lingyun's figure coming out.

The girl was neatly dressed, but her complexion was unusually ruddy, as if she had just experienced something intense or exciting.

Ma Chuan was desperate, lonely men and widows, what could they do together in the middle of the night?

"Adulterer and adulteress!"
