Chapter Thirty-Six: The Trithers
"Anyone lives here, why do you say that?" Alan looked at him with a little confusion.
It's rare for Riel to come to conclusions so directly, though he's much more proficient than Alan in this area.
"Hmm......" The excitement on his face vanished as he realized that it didn't seem to be some treasure marker, "I've never seen this mark before, but it's a bit like the one used on a map to indicate a place to live...... This square, extremely regular symbol means that the place cannot be a natural formation. ”
"Could it be a cave or something?" asked Allen.
"No, the cave is marked by a semicircle with irregular edges, and Mr. Audrian will not mistake this. "I have a feeling that he created the mark himself, and maybe only he knows what it means." ”
"I see......" Alan nodded.
"But to be honest, this sign is a bit peculiar...... "Rare said, scratching his head again, "It's like a door, it's a little too narrow...... But it's something else, it doesn't look like anything but a door......"
"It seems that you will only know what it is until you see it for yourself. "Since there are traces of human activity, maybe it can help us get out of the current predicament." ”
"It's okay! It's at the foot of the opposite mountain anyway, not far!"
After the group had finished deliberating, they crossed the road and came to the foot of the opposite mountain.
The cliffs on this side are much steeper than the ones they are on, almost perpendicular to the ground. The forests at the foot of the mountain are also more lush. Because of the dim light, they had to make a little light to get a good view of what was in front of them.
But even so, after more than half an hour, they still found nothing...... Not only did they not find anything similar to the markings on the map, but they didn't even find a cave where the beast lived.
"Where the hell is this place...... It wasn't Mr. Audrian's whim, was it?" Riel looked a little impatient.
"Probably not...... I know him, he wouldn't do such a pointless thing. "Since he made a mark, it must be a very special place." ”
"But there's a little too much bush here, and it feels like it's more than twice as lush as our camp. Riel continued to complain, "There must be a lot of mosquitoes in the summer!"
"It's only natural that the trees are more lush here......" An unfamiliar voice rang out from the shadows on their right as Riel finished speaking, "because the sun is more abundant when it's clear." ”
"Who?" Alan looked over the side, but saw no figure.
"And unlike over there, a lot of the shrubs here are planted by us. This is our garden. Suddenly, the voice came from their left-hand side.
Alan was stunned for a moment, then raised his wand and looked at the bushes on the left, but still found nothing.
"But one thing that the gentleman said was that there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, and they are very annoying. The voice suddenly shifted its position again, this time directly in front of them.
"Sure enough, someone lives here!" exclaimed Riel.
"Who the hell is it?" Cynthia was a little annoyed. Hearing only the sound but not finding anyone made her feel fooled, and she used her wand to push away the tall bushes.
But there was no one hiding inside.
The same voice suddenly rang out in three different places at the same time, making them all feel uncomfortable......
Not knowing whether they were friend or foe, several of them pulled out their wands.
Just as they were wondering, there was a sudden movement in the bushes around them, not only in the three places where people were talking, but also in the shadows of the other bushes...... Immediately after, thin, slender arms stretched out from the bushes......
Only, they are from the bottom of the bushes......
"There are even gnomes here!?" Alan almost screamed when he saw what was in front of them.
Withered bodies emerged from behind the bushes, almost identical to the Syphus except for their appearance and clothing.
No wonder you can only hear voices, and if you don't look down, you really can't spot these skinny, short things......
"It's been a long time since you've had a guest here...... said a gnome who looked like a leader at the front, "and welcome to the Usin Mountains!"
"Our name is Trissus. The gnome to its left added, "Is there anything you can help with?"
"Brother, you are still the same, you have forgotten how your father taught us, you should have invited the guests to come to the house and sit down. The one on the right said.
"Father's way of doing it is outdated!" said the one on the left, "and people don't like this way of babbling these days. ”
"What is the meaning of rambling, this is the basic etiquette! You didn't listen carefully to Father when he taught us, so now you are stubborn!"
"What kind of attitude do you have?" the one on the left suddenly became angry, "I remember that my father must have taught you that no matter what your brother says is right or wrong, you must listen carefully!"
"Hell, I don't remember him ever saying anything like that!"
These two dwarfs don't give Alan a chance to interject at all, and they are confused......
However, all three of them had the same voice, which made Alan understand what was going on just now - these three were dwarf brothers.
There were almost twenty of them in this group, and they all looked almost the same, only the three who stood at the front had the right to speak, and they looked slightly older.
"You two are enough!" Seeing that the two dwarfs were arguing, the one who led the one suddenly shouted, "What kind of body is it to quarrel in front of the guests!"
The two gnomes then fell silent, and each pouted at each other, and said no more.
"Where are you from?" asked the gnome leader, staring at Allen.
"Uh...... Near Krivari. Alan thought for a moment and decided not to reveal his identity. Although judging by what they had just said, they should have not had contact with humans for a long time, and should not have anything to do with Burrestus, he was more inclined to be careful.
"Krivari, that's a long way off. Elder Trisus nodded, "I've only been to that place once, and it's crowded. ”
"Well, it's a long way off. ”
"And where are you going?" asked the elder Trissus, "why are you passing through here?"
"Go to Glenn Krone and find a friend. "But we seem to have gone the wrong way, and before we knew it, we were here." ”
"You are indeed on the wrong path, if you want to go to Glenkron, you should turn right at the junction ahead, cross the Farraro Plains and follow the River of Origin all the way northeast. "This road can be reached, but it will take you a long way." ”
"Hmm...... Shouldn't you have taken this path in the first place......" Alan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that I have to go back the way I came......"
"Generally speaking, taking this path will indeed make you a long detour...... "then the gnome on the left suddenly said, "but since you have run into us, this road has become a shortcut." ”
"What do you mean?" Alan looked at it with some curiosity, "It's a shortcut when I meet you?"
"Yes, you're really lucky to have met us...... the one on the right chimed in, "because we can take anywhere you want to go if you want!"
