Chapter 238: Dwarves and Perceptions
Seeing that the three brothers hesitated and entered the castle together, Locke also began to recall this fairy tale, according to the plot of the story, the three brothers decided to stay in the castle, using the castle as a base, the two of them went out to continue looking for the princess, and the last one stayed behind.
As a result, when they took turns to stay behind, the eldest and second were beaten by the dwarf who suddenly appeared, and only the third child was not fooled, but beat the dwarf.
In order to beg for mercy, the dwarf told him that he had been captured by the three hydras and how to deal with them, and warned him not to tell his two brothers, because they might harm him and take the credit for himself.
The third child didn't care at first, told the two brothers about the situation, went underground with a hanging basket, killed the three multi-headed dragons, and rescued the princess.
Then the third child sent the princess to the ground with a hanging basket, and when it was his turn, he remembered the warning of the dwarf, and instead of sitting on the hanging basket himself, he replaced it with a large stone.
Sure enough, when the hanging basket was halfway through, it was suddenly thrown down, and the third child also knew that the dwarf's previous warning was not wrong.
Later, the third child found a flute and summoned many dwarves, and with these dwarves returned to the surface and found the king, who put to death the two brothers who had taken the credit, and married the little princess to him.
The story is simple, but it's really hard for Locke to imagine why the dragon had to kidnap the princess, or if the dragon had the same aesthetic as a human and wanted to keep the cubs?
In this story, the dragon left the princess to catch lice to serve himself, but Locke knew very well that with the dragon's might, which lice had so much courage to dare to climb on the dragon, they were all scared to death before they could get close.
Regardless of the dragon, the flute that can summon and control dwarves is interesting, and if they can be controlled, they are very useful.
There are also dragons, Locke got a lot of dragon eggs from the Harry Potter world, and they are still in small suitcases, because there are not enough dragon tamers, and it is impossible to manage a large number of other magical beasts while domesticating so many dragons with only those house-elves he brought back.
At the same time, Locke is also interested in the dragons of the fairy tale world, according to the description of the story, the three dragons in this story are multi-headed dragons, with nine, five and four heads respectively.
It's just hard to imagine that in the fairy tale, the dragon's head is placed on the princess's lap and the princess is asked to scratch lice for them, are these princesses giants?
It can only be said that the description of fairy tales must not be realistic, after all, what is read to children is sometimes not so strict and logical.
With this in mind, Locke quietly followed the three brothers into the castle.
The castle was quiet, there was no one, but it seemed to have been cleaned and spotless, and the three brothers discussed it and they thought that there must be someone in the castle, but they hid for the time being.
As for why he hid, it was naturally because there was an ulterior secret, maybe the people in the castle kidnapped the princess.
Locke couldn't help but complain when he listened to it, and he didn't know how they came up with such outrageous conclusions, but he could only say that the brains of ordinary people in this world were simple.
But when they think so, it seems that to some extent they are right.
With this conclusion in mind, the three brothers began to search the castle, but found nothing.
At this time, Locke was also searching the castle, but instead of looking for the 'robber who took the princess', he was looking for the dry well that led to the dragon.
After a carpet search, Locke finally found the dry well, and he first cast several protective spells on himself before using a flying charm to fall from the dry well.
At first, the passage of the dry well was very narrow, but gradually it became wider, and the depth was very deep, at least more than two hundred meters, and when Locke's feet stepped back on the ground, he found himself standing in a very wide terrain space, surrounded by torches.
Then Locke raised his eyebrows and looked at the ground, only to see several gray and stubble-faced, classic dwarves suddenly burrowed out from under the ground, staring at him menacingly.
"Who are you and why are you here!" These dwarves held wooden sticks and surrounded Locke in the center, exuding a special aura that made Locke feel a trace of pressure.
"It's ...... Long Wei? "Having seen dragons in the world of Harry Potter, Locke thought about it carefully, and the faint momentum emanating from these dwarves seemed to be the dragon's might.
But this dragon power is not strong, it is only the degree that can make Locke feel.
"The three kidnapped princesses are here, right?" Although he used a question, Locke's tone was very firm.
"You are a fool who was tricked by the king into sending you to death?!" A dwarf said.
"Looks like this is it, all petrified!" Locke directly cast his magic, and immediately petrified all the dwarves around him, except for the dwarf who spoke just now.
Locke then cast a levitation spell that lifted the dwarf into the air.
He had just seen these dwarves emerge from under the ground, and guessed that these dwarves had similar abilities to escape, so in order to prevent him from escaping, he used a levitation charm.
"Alright, now I'll ask you, what's going on with that castle on the ground?" Locke asked first.
"You're a wizard?!" The dwarf found himself floating in mid-air, and several other dwarves seemed to be stiff and unable to move, with a look of surprise on their faces: and then he snapped:
"Don't think that you are a wizard who can do whatever you want, if you don't run away quickly, the master's strength is beyond your guess, he will tear you apart!"
"Master? You're talking about the three dragons that captured the princess. Locke said slowly: "Actually, I have a question, that is, why did those three multi-headed dragons capture the princess?" ”
"This wizard isn't afraid of dragons." The dwarf looked at Locke with a calm expression, and his face was shocked.
"Answer my question!" Seeing this, Locke said with some impatience, and at the same time carried a trace of spiritual coercion.
"I don't know why the master took the princess, but I know that they have been sleeping in the king's back garden before, and when they woke up not long ago, they took the princess and let us build a castle here."
"You built this castle above? I remember that it was only fifteen days after the princess was captured, and how many of you were able to build a castle so quickly? ”
"We can manipulate the power of the land to form stones, and we don't just have a few, but thousands." Under Locke's coercion, the dwarf seemed to be honest.
Obviously, these dwarves are also magical creatures, and their innate abilities make them good at building, and they actually built a castle with complete specifications in half a month.
Thinking of the Academy of Magic, which was being planned, Locke felt that he could bring these dwarves back to work as laborers, which would not only save a lot of manpower, but also save time.
"Roar!!
Just when Locke was thinking like this, a dragon roar came from the depths of the cave, which made the dwarf's expression change suddenly: "It's the master who has returned, he will definitely kill you!" ”
The dwarf said loudly, and at the same time, a giant dragon with a body length of nearly twenty meters, gray color, and five heads appeared in front of Locke with heavy footsteps.
When Locke spotted the other party, the dragon also saw Locke, and he spread his wings, and his five heads hissed, and spat out a mouthful of fire at Locke.
