The corners of his mouth were raised proudly, his steps were steady but brisk, and his pale golden ponytail showed two pointed ears, declaring his identity.

Elena smiled, looking at the palace that seemed to have been dug out of a stone, the thick doorposts and wild carvings really did not match her aesthetics.

It's lifeless.

Torches crackled on the walls, and in the aisles on either side, two neat rows of soldiers stood, but they looked comical in appearance—no neck under the fat chin, short hands and legs, and a beer belly.

"Welcome, a cordial welcome, Lord Druid of the Forest of Silence!" a short, stocky old man with a full beard sat on a stone chair, unable to tell whether he was smiling or expressionless: "The generous earth has informed you of your arrival, and I hope you have a smooth journey!"

"May the birds of the woods show you the way, Hussein of New Gar!" Elena smiled and bowed her head slightly, her tall body standing straight.

"So, I wonder how long you will stay here, honorable?"

"It won't be long. Yelena shook her head.

"Oh, that's a shame. The fat old man said with a little exaggeration, "But if the noble druid needs our help, the hospitable new Gal will be honored to be of great service!"

"You're so kind. The elf nodded gracefully, "So, how is your army prepared?"

"War?" Hussein smiled and said incredulously: "We want to prepare for war?

"Isn't it necessary?" Elena raised her eyes in surprise, and then nodded thoughtfully: "I've always heard that dwarves are slow to react and have rigid brains, and it doesn't seem to be groundless!"

"Blasphemy!"

The soldiers on both sides suddenly shouted, and almost at the same time pulled out their battle axes from their waists and rushed towards the female elves, holding their shields high and their eyes fierce!

"Stop!"

Elena didn't know where to find a short bow, stretched out her bow and pointed an arrow at the fat old man in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "Do it again, and your king will die on the spot!"

“............ Give it all to me!" Hussein said in a flat tone, "Don't get in the way here. ”

“bixia！”

"Six hundred years, peace has been maintained in New Gar and the Silent Forest for six hundred years. The old man's flat tone remained unchanged: "Are you going to break the hard-won peace in this way?"

"Do as you will!" the soldiers bowed their heads and left the rock-cut palace through the doors on either side, their heavy iron boots thumping on the ground.

After seeing the soldiers leave, Hussein turned his gaze back to Yelena: "I don't know what angered you, but please also maintain appropriate respect for the friendship between the two sides!"

"Of course!" Elena smiled beautifully, casually throwing the short bow and arrow aside, "If you are so generous, then I will show the respect I deserve." ”

"The army of Singar is still to the west, guarding against two other cities, and we cannot recall them now. Hussein stepped down from his chair with a glass of ale in his hand: "After all, not all cities are as peace-loving as New Gar!"

"So, you're still at war with other cities?"

"Oh, that's not true, but there is occasional friction, so let's sit down and talk!" Hussein sat on a bench on the side of the palace, motioned for Elena to sit down, and enthusiastically handed over a large wine glass after seeing her sit down: "That's it now, everyone is still sane, but no one can guarantee that the other party will suddenly go insane one day!"

"You don't have to worry about each other so much right now!" Elena frowned, but still took a sip of the drink that was too strong, "The Cobblestone Council is about to convene!"

"Cobblestone Council? are you talking about the Cobblestone Council that has disappeared for 600 years?!That can't be!" Hussein categorically denied: "The Black Rock Basin is no longer the Black Rock Basin of the past, everyone believes in axes more than they believe in mouths, and now everyone's axes are the same sharp, it is impossible for anyone to have such a liliang and can organize a council!"

"There's a guy who can!"

"Who?!"

"The Emperor of People, the Emperor of People can do it. Yelena said faintly: "The light of the Radiant Cross also once shone in the sky above the Black Rock Basin, and the Human Emperor has that kind of liliang. ”

"What you said is true, but the human emperor is no longer there! He is a mortal after all, of course, I don't deny that he is indeed beyond ordinary people!"

"Prophecy!" Elena said, "Malcius, that nervous guy has prophesied a new human emperor, a new human emperor is about to appear in the north!"

"Then let the new Human Emperor show off his Radiant Cross Excalibur!" Hussein said indifferently, "Otherwise, it is impossible for a dwarf to obey someone else's orders because of a prophecy!"

"Don't you understand?!" The female elf said angrily, "The orcs have already conquered the entire southern part of the empire!, why do you think they won't turn to attack the Black Rock Basin?!"

"Hah!" Hussein did not laugh angrily, but looked at Elena with a smug expression: "Your Excellency the Great Druid, you are indeed very respectable, and your wisdom is to be ashamed. But you don't know anything about military affairs!"

"Oh~?" Yelena's eyes closed slightly: "Then, please also ask the respected king of New Gar to advise!"

"Indeed, these orcs possess an incomparable Liliang, and they seem to be very scheming, and they are the kind of enemies that are very dangerous. Hussein stroked his beard: "Moreover, it is impossible for the dwarves of a single city-state to confront them." ”

"So what. ”

"But because of this, they won't attack the dwarven Black Rock Basin in the first place!" the fat old man said categorically: "They have declared war on the human race, and the human lords of the north are recruiting troops, training knights, and gathering baggage, maybe they alone will not be able to fight against this barbaric race, but when they unite, I'm afraid no one can underestimate it, not to mention! As far as I know, the three strongest people in Shili have already united." ”

"Orcs are very powerful, but their poor mechanical craftsmanship can't even make even the most basic trebuchet! their number is also the most important drawback!" Hussein analyzed one by one: "As long as they can't capture the city wall in the shortest possible time, those human lords who dream of retaking the south will not be able to give up such a good opportunity!"

"So, they won't attack the dwarves, at least until they conquer the humans completely!"

"So, you think this has nothing to do with you?" said Elena, a slightly colder tone.

"Of course, what does this have to do with us?" Hussein asked rhetorically: "We have not signed any friendship alliance with mankind, we only have trade exchanges, the empire of mankind has never had anything to do with us, we weishenme want to send troops for mankind? weishenme want to sacrifice our warriors for mankind?"

"But you have an agreement with the Human Emperor!" Elena said coldly, "As evidenced by the Radiant Cross, the dwarves also bowed down under that divine sword and made their own oaths, is it too long for six hundred years?

"Dwarves will always keep their promises! Never! We will not deny the oath of our ancestors!" Hussein retorted angrily: "But that is the Emperor of Men, it is Aragon! We only made our own oath to the Emperor of Men, but we have no descendants or people! Not to mention that he has no people of his own! He is only the Emperor of Men!"

"Pendragon. Elena shook her head: "The Pendragon family is a descendant of Aragon, there is no doubt about that. His son also held the Radiant Cross in his hand and established his empire!"

But the emperor did not inherit his surname, and the Radiant Cross was taken back after his death. Hussein shrugged: "What's more, that family is also gone, isn't it?"

Yelena inadvertently withdrew her hand, as if thinking of something, and lowered her head.

"So, the dwarves aren't going to meddle in this?" said Elena silently, "Or do you have other plans?"

"We're going to send troops, at the right time, at the right opportunity, and we have no interest in human land. Hussein looked at the elf: "Any more questions, Your Excellency the Great Druid?"

"Zuihou's warning, please don't take it as a joke!" Elena said coldly: "Immediately recall your army, unite your compatriots, and prepare to resist foreign enemies!

"Thank you for the tip. Hussein nodded indifferently, watched the Great Druid turn away, and greeted her warmly: "I hope you can come to New Gar next time!

The elf ignored him, pulled down her hood, and left the rock palace with a gloomy face, leaving only the clangling gates, which were swaying and waving.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Coward, fool, incompetent dwarf!" Elena gritted her teeth and walked forward, without the slightest bearing, her chest trembled: "It's unbelievable that a once simple dwarf can become so flamboyant! degenerate like a human!"

The dexterous figure stood on top of a small hill, his eyes looking directly at the place where the sun was rising, and his eyes of sorrow and pity were intoxicating.

"They're still there, but there's nothing to be done back. Elena muttered to herself: "Death is their fate. ”

"People have to face that day, but it is so funny, the cowardly always live long, and the warrior often lives short, like a blooming flower, short but forever. ”

"Maybe that's why human beings have always survived? fearless but cowardly, despicable and noble, greedy but still knowing how to give up. The Great Druid suddenly laughed, and smiled so happily.

"Let them be real heroes, maybe that's what they want!"

"If you want to get it, you must first lose it. The female elf recited the ancient lamentation: "The blood of a hero can awaken the sleeping Liliang!"

(Sometimes, death is the beginning of a new one--this is a newly learned truth in the air, well, it seems to be very profound~.)
