Chapter 176: Thirteen Treasures
After entering the Elbe River, the climate is completely different from the south, and a biting cold wind has blown in August, Xiao Zhuoyan has never lived in this environment, although this cold does not pose any threat to her, but it instinctively shrinks into a ball, and people become lazy, and Zhuo Zhuo simply puts her directly into a different space to accompany the fire beast.
Although Siegfried wondered why the little sister suddenly disappeared, he had seen more now, and he was no longer as surprised as he was at the beginning, such as the sphinx-faced monster sister Dolma next to him, he could easily face it.
However, it is cold here, and there is one good thing, that is, there are few mountains, blue sky and white clouds, and endless large plains, which give people a tragic and heroic feeling of openness and desolation. In the wilderness is a plant called heather, a small pink flower that looks like a starry sky, and the fragrance of the flowers is pleasant, like a lover's lover.
Excellence admired the natural scenery, looked at the giant sword boy who was following him, and said, "Siegfei, are you willing to travel with your teacher?"
Siegfried nodded excitedly, and Excellence decided to go to his adoptive father's house to say goodbye first, and to see what the dwarves of this world were like.
Siegfried and his adoptive father, the dwarf Legkin, lived on a hill not far north of the Elbe, close to the mountains and water, next to a large forest, and in a cave behind which iron ore could be mined, and Laigin's blacksmith workshop was on the edge of a tributary of the Elbe. When the four arrived, Lykin was still striking iron in the workshop, making a clanging sound.
Excellence was far away when he saw a dwarf swinging a large sledgehammer with one hand to smash the iron on the felt, and fiery red iron filings flew everywhere. Although the dwarf was just over three feet tall, he was extremely strong, and his arms were thicker than most humans. His face was withered and ugly, and he had a knee-high beard.
"Father, I'm back!" Siegfried shouted excitedly as he was far away.
"Bastard, where have you been all these days?"
Laikin had been worried about Siegfried's safety, and immediately dropped his work and ran out when he heard his shouts. When I looked up, Siegfried was stunned when he came back with the three of them, and then said happily: "These people are...?"
"Father-in-law, this is my new master and mother. ”
Siegfried said and hurriedly introduced each other, and Excellence smiled and complimented him on the skill of Lykin's workmanship, and Lygin was also very affectionate, and after saying a few words, he immediately led them to his residence.
The group drank a glass of water, Siegfried took his bow and arrows to hunt some game for lunch, and Laiking accompanied the two men. It wasn't long before Siegfried came back from hunting to make a fire and cook, and Lykin apologized and went to help, and Thetis whispered in Excellence's ear: "No, I found that this dwarf is not normal. ”
"What's wrong?"
In his previous life, whether he played games or read Western fantasy novels and movies, the dwarves in it were all stinky tempers, and when he saw Laikin's enthusiastic smile, he always had a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.
Thetis said softly, "Didn't Siegfel say that his stepfather was strange-tempered and cold-hearted?
"Maybe 'there are friends from afar who don't talk about it'!" Excellence teased and said, "Then what do you say?"
"If something is abnormal, it is a demon, if he is not asking for us, or he is beating our idea, I think it is better to be careful. Titis said in a deep voice.
"Well, I'll be careful!" Excellence nodded, the dwarves had a strange temper, and from the stories Siegfried recounted, the dwarves seemed to have a lot of ingenuity, and they really had to be guarded against.
After a while, the meal was ready, and while the meal was eating, Rykin asked how Excellence and Siegfried had met, and Excellence told him about the killing of werewolves and shamans, and Lykin was fascinated by the words, and his expression was a little more joyful.
Soon after the meal, Siegfried proposed to go out for a trip, and Lygin nodded in agreement, but his face sank and said: "Siegfried, when I helped you reforge the sword, you promised to help me do something, didn't you forget?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, the dwarf really wanted to let him help him.
Siegfried said confidently: "Father-in-law, if there is anything, you can say it directly, I believe that I can handle this matter well, even if I can't do it alone, my master and master are also here here!"
Laijin looked at the two of them, saw that they were both smiling and nodding, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you a story first, this incident is caused by this story." ”
It is said that there is a dwarven kingdom under the hills in the north, and their king is called Heridma, who has two sons, the eldest son Otter is good at change, and the second son Logan is skillful, with a clever mind and a pair of dexterous hands. In order to please Heridmar, Logan built a beautiful house, inlaid with gold and jewels, and the family lived happily and leisurely in that house.
Because the house was so beautiful that the gods were willing to visit it, one day the god-king Odin and his two brothers, Henir and Loki, dressed up in disguise to the house of Khridmar. At the small river in front of the door, Loki sees an otter basking in the sun (which is actually the result of the fickle Otter), so he kills the otter and carries it on his shoulder to make a dinner.
As soon as the three gods entered the room, the otter was recognized, and the dwarven king demanded that they pay for their son's life unless they could redeem it with enough gold to fill the otter skins.
Going to someone else's house and killing the master's son is unjustifiable, and the three gods can only obediently do it and let Loki prepare the gold. Herimard then released Loki first and told him to try to raise gold to ransom him.
Loki stayed outside for a few days before returning, and then took out the gold and threw it into the otter skin, but later found that he couldn't fit it enough, and realized that the otter skin could expand on its own. In the end, Loki had no choice, so he took out one of the rings of the treasure anomaly and threw it into it to collect enough gold, and the three gods were finally able to go back freely.
Although the father and son lost their son and brother, they also got enough treasure, and they should have been able to continue their lives happily, but this was somehow known to a fiery dragon named Fafnir. The dragon is greedy, so this fire dragon came to snatch the treasure, and this treasure was exchanged for the lives of his son and brother, and of course Herimard and his son would not give it. So one was killed, the other was driven from his homeland, and he had been living a wandering life as a human being, and the treasure was taken by the dragon named Fafnir to a place called Ganita Hyde and hidden.
After Laiking finished speaking, he looked at Siegfried, who could listen attentively, and said, "Siegfried, if you were Logan, what would you do?"
"I will kill the dragon and take back my own treasure. Siegfried came back to his senses and said with his right hand gripping the hilt of the Ghulam's sword tightly.
Lygin sighed, "But that dwarf, though ingenious, is far from being the opponent of that evil dragon!"
"Then ask a friend for help!"
Siegfried suddenly woke up after speaking, pointed at Lykin and said, "Father, you... You're the second prince Logan?"
Logan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have wandered in the human kingdom for more than two hundred years, and I have found that no one is the opponent of the evil dragon, until I adopted you, who is very talented, Siegfried, are you willing to take back the treasure for me and realize this dream of my father-in-law?"
