Chapter 116: Xilin's Friendship
"Elder Fogg, why do I keep hearing what Terry says, what the hell is going on?"
As the two walked, Sirin said to Fergus.
Fogg glanced at Cillin, slightly hesitant.
"If it's not convenient to say, just prove that I'm not a meticulous worker. Xilin paused, and then said nonchalantly.
With the character of the dwarves, they rarely hesitate about one thing, but the question of Sirin is obviously very important.
Elder Fogg looked up at Xilin, and his eyes suddenly became firmer: "Lord Xilin, although we dwarf clan and elven clan have not been in contact for a long time, since the elf clan can accept adults, then we have nothing to trust." β
After Fogg finished speaking, he gave Sillin a serious look again.
"Elders, don't be embarrassed. Cillin continued.
But before Xilin's words fell, Fogg's eyes widened, and he blew his beard in one breath: "Do adults look down on the dwarves, hmph, the dwarves are the most righteous." β
With that, he and Xilin went to a place that looked like a meal, "Lord Xilin, let's eat something first, although the dwarves are not as good at cooking as humans, their skills are not bad." β
Augustin and the others were also in this place, and of course Terry was also next to them, and seeing Xilin's arrival, Terry's eyes still didn't have much kindness.
In addition to Terry, there were several other dwarves sitting in front of him.
Everyone sat down, and Fogg reintroduced Sillin and Augustin to the dwarves, and then introduced Sillin to the members of the dwarven side.
Those dwarves are also important members of the dwarf clan, which is nothing, and Xilin has long expected it, but when Ferg said that Terry turned out to be their young patriarch, Xilin couldn't help but look at Terry a few more times, especially Terry's age, he was introduced by Ferg and said that he was only in his eighties, Ferg's voice did not fall, Xilin almost squirted out the tea, and coughed a few times before nodding at Terry to show friendship.
Good guys, they are all over eighty, and they really haven't seen it, Cillin thought to himself.
But when he remembered that Fogg in front of him was more than 300 years old, he was relieved.
After a long period of mutual familiarity, the meal finally began, and everyone who thought they should have a good meal was embarrassed again, it should not be said that the dwarf things were unpalatable, this should be a racial difference, how to say it, in fact, in the entire dining layer, except for an unknown fruit next to him, nothing else moved, Fogg thought that he liked to eat fruit, and added two more portions to Xilin, and at the end of the meal, Xilin felt that he was about to become a green-skinned fruit.
Regarding the matter of fine work, this whole thing can be said to be a misunderstanding, and Ferg also said it during Xilin's dinner, and the cause of the incident is still related to the orcs.
Orcs are usually active in the area north of the Kus Mountains, they want to invade humans, then they have to pass through the Kus Mountains, as the aborigines of the mountain range, the dwarves have become the first to avoid the orcs, those orcs do not want to provoke the dwarves, so they continue to send people to sentry, and the dwarves are also unwilling to participate in the war between orcs and humans, so they turn a blind eye!
But even so, there were still some contradictions between the two sides, just because the orc soldiers had no scruples in the Kus Mountains and acted recklessly in the mountains, which made the contradictions between the two sides more and more serious.
Through a crystal ball, Xilin saw the situation on the surface of the dwarven territory, and there are indeed many places where the trees and vegetation are destroyed, and as soon as these vegetation are destroyed, some of the caves and mines hidden by the dwarves will leak, and the orcs will rob the minerals, and the dwarves will watch the best fine iron being snatched away?
"That'...... Why did the sentry sent by the orcs also arrest the humans?"
Xilin still asked with some puzzlement......
Speaking of this, Fergus's face also deteriorated, "Actually, some of the small works are played by humans, so we will treat the adult's sentry as a small work, otherwise Terry would not have fought with the adult, and besides, we also lost a valuable thing when we caught the adult's men." β
Speaking of this valuable thing, Ferg actually had a painful face.
Seeing his expression, Xilin instantly guessed what he had lost, except for the piece of pure gold, there was nothing that could make a dwarven elder have such an expression.
"Elder, is this what you are talking about?" said Cilin, and took out the piece of pure gold from his bosom.
To be honest, Sirin didn't want to take it out, but if he wanted to get the friendship of the dwarves, sacrificing a small piece of ore was nothing.
Looking at Fogg's glowing eyes, the corners of Xilin's mouth also showed a hint of a smile: "Elder, this is what my soldiers found when I sent someone to look for the original sentry, I hope he can be useful to you." β
"Useful, useful, so useful. With that, Fogg reached for the piece of pure gold.
"My lord!" At this moment, Yarlin suddenly shouted, meaning not to give away the pure gold, when the flag regiment was stationed, Dana had said that it was very precious, even if it was difficult to find in the imperial capital, it can be seen that he is rare.
As soon as Arlin said this, Terry on the side suddenly stood up and stared at Arrin diagonally opposite, and Augustin and Allen also got up and opposed each other when they saw this momentum.
The two sides were tense, and if they didn't agree with each other, it seemed that they were about to fight.
Fogg was slightly stunned, looked at Augustine, and then looked at Terry, and the outstretched hand didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to take it back first, and then looked at Xilin: "My lord, this metal is extremely rare, since the adult has found it, I am willing to exchange other things with the adult, I don't know what the adult thinks?"
Fogg knew that the few people in front of him were all listening to Xilin, and as long as he talked to Xilin, he didn't need to say much.
Xilin seemed to have expected him to say this, and as soon as Fergus's words fell, Xilin shook his head slightly, and then stretched out his hand holding the pure gold forward, "Elder Fogg, this is the friendship between our Glory Banner Regiment and my Xilin, I hope the nobles can accept it." β
Hearing Cillin's words, Ferg couldn't believe it, even Terry's vision when he saw Cillin changed a little, of course, but it became not a careful look.
"Your Excellency, you can let us make a sword or shield for your lord, I can guarantee that the dwarves will make it very beautifully for your lords. Fogg still didn't think that Sirin would take out the treasure in his hand for no reason.
"It's just friendship!" Cillin repeated.
"Haha, good ......" Fogg reached out and took the piece of pure gold, as soon as he got his hands, the heavy feeling made Ferg extremely excited, for a rare piece of metal, in the eyes of the dwarves, it was the greatest treasure.
"In order to express the friendship of the dwarf clan, I will give the adult a sharp sword, which can also make up for the mistake of our young patriarch, after all, the adult's sword has been broken, I think the adult will not refuse. "Ferg really feels that Sirin is very good-tempered, and to be able to take the risk of taking out the pure gold in front of everyone, this is the greatest trust in the dwarves, and similarly, the dwarves are very happy to have such friends.
In this way, Xilin and a few people roughly visited the dwarves' homes, but in the eyes of human beings, the life of the dwarves is indeed much harder, the only thing that makes Xilin admire is the dwarves' enthusiasm for casting, it seems that they are not working, but artists, yes, this is the feeling of all people in Xilin and Augustine, their works are not weapons, but works of art, of course, for the weapons they cast, Yarlin they are still extremely hot, after all, they are all from the army, they can see the extraordinary of those weapons at a glanceγ
Time passed quickly, and Sirin resigned from Ferg and a group of dwarven elders and the arrogant young patriarch, and the group of five left the underground kingdom of the dwarves, the horses were still in place, but the sentry's horse was gone, and before leaving, Sirin was told that there were several dishes on the table when they were eating, which were contributed by the horse.
Hearing this, Xilin's tongue was about to roll, but fortunately it came faster, if it was delayed, the sentry might have become a dish.
Walking in the opposite direction from which they came, about a few hours later, the people of Xilin came across a group of sentries of the Glory Banner Regiment.
"Your Excellency!" one of the sentries saluted to Xilin on his horse.
"How?"
The sentinel did not hesitate, "Your Excellency, Lord Dina is discussing important matters with your lords, and the flag group has been raised. β
"Lead the way!"
As soon as Xilin's voice fell, the sentry took his horse and turned away, and everyone in Xilin followed closely.
The Glory Banner Regiment changed its location, and it seemed that the plan had a chance of success.
It was not long before they came to a dense forest in a valley, which was obviously much more secluded than the first station, but narrower, and denser in the woods, and the cavalry could not charge at all.
When he arrived at Dyna's tent, Cillin entered the door and asked, "What happened, how did we retreat to this place?"
With that, Cillin sat down on a stake beside him.
"Your Excellency, please see, this is the terrain that our sentinels have detected in the past few days, and this is an urgent report from adults, it is estimated that this was all a few days ago. β
As he spoke, Dana handed Sillin a piece of letterhead, the content of which was simple: the South rebelled, and the North was undecided.
The meaning is very clear, whether this battle is fought or not is one thing, but the dark chess of Xilin has become the most useless move at this time, Reginord's army does not move, but with such a small number of people in his own hands, it is not enough to even plug the opponent's teeth.
Xilin didn't rest all night, he originally wanted to have a good rest, but this happened again.
"Captain Dyna, the Lord obviously wants us to withdraw, but how can you think it is so easy, the entire Tuna Province is full of orcs, and it is impossible for us to get through the tricks. Cillin put the letterhead on the table next to him, took a deep breath and said.
"That's why I've stationed the people of the Flag Regiment in this place, but fortunately, it's safer for the time being, and we can also think of a way. Dana stood up and drew another stroke on the map.
"Think of a way?"
Xilin's eyes turned slightly, and various methods appeared in his mind, but none of them worked, until after a while, Xilin's eyes flashed, "Captain Dana, I want to ...... We might be able to give the orcs some excitement. β
