"After losing their home and Gwendrin's blessing, the elves were forced to scatter across the continent...... During the elven exile, three different elven tribes gradually formed, one led by the former court priestess, Antinoia Lancer, who moved west to the mud in the southwest after the Great War. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoAlthough the elven race still calls themselves the Gwendrin Elves, the humans and other races do not recognize the title and call them the Mismarsh Elves, also known as the Grey Elves. —From "The Descendants of Gwyndlin," by Hettrotcher K. Greyger

Although it was already noon, there were not many people in the lobby of the hotel, except for a few drunkards who were drunk and snoring on the table in broad daylight. More conspicuous were a young knight in handsome leather armor pestering an innkeeper by the wine cabinet, and another man sitting in the far corner of the hall looking through a book the size of a shield, dressed like a wizard who could not see his appearance because of the hood on his head.

Seeing Hareditk looking at the strange mage, Burke leaned over and whispered to him, "He's the warlock you mentioned to the boss." ”

Haredith didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and looked away from the warlock. At this time, he found that although the whole hall was empty, there was no human figure in sight, but from the courtyard behind him, there was the sound of swords clashing and a clamor of shouts.

"Those little guys can't be idle, they go to the backyard every day to compete, and they won't come back without using all their strength. Han Long smiled and said to the two of them, and then he called out to the young knight who was pestering the maid, "Hey! Xiuqi, look who is coming!"

When the knight named Xiuqi turned his head and saw Burke beside Hanlon, he immediately left the maid who had just been fighting with him, walked over quickly, hugged Burke fiercely, and punched him hard in the back before excitedly saying, "Bart! Old man! That bastard Tepenny finally let you out and pull you out! You must have a good drink with me tonight!"

Burke "replied" a few punches in the back, and said happily as well, "Of course, as long as you don't get drunk like last time and strip off your pants and dance on the street." ”

After the two of them read a few more words, Xiu Qi let go of Burke, then glanced at Haredik, who was standing next to Burke, disguised as a gray elf, and said, "Why are you standing here? Why don't you go and pour some wine! By the way, take the sword I put in the room and sharpen it." You elves really can't even look at it, you know you'll be lazy!"

"Ahem. Burke coughed a little embarrassedly and said to Xiuqi, "This Mr. Nemo is the guide that the boss has hired for you. ”

"He's our guide?" said Hugh, his eyes widened, and after looking Hareddick up and down, he seemed dissatisfied, "An elf...... It's still a man. Well, well, it looks like that's all there is to it, hey, you kid remember to stay away from my wallet, you know!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the kind of guy who asks people to run errands, but can't even give up a copper. Haredith replied unceremoniously.

Xiuqi cracked his big mouth and pointed at Hareddick with a smile and said, "I like this kid! Bart, where did you get such a thing?"

Han Long, who had been standing next to him, waved his hand to interrupt this unnutritious conversation, and instructed Xiuqi, "I'm going to change my clothes and get rid of this horse smell on my body." Xiuqi, you can entertain our guide, Mr. for me. ”

"Don't worry, sir. Xiuqi patted his chest and grinned.

"And Bart," said Hanlon, turning to Burke, "take me to Madame, and I'm sure she'll be glad to see you." ”...,

"Yes, Knight Captain Hanlon!" said this, but Burke's face had a complicated expression of excitement and hesitation.

Hanlon ignored Burke, who was looking for trouble, nodded to Haredith, and walked towards his room, while Burke took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and left behind Hanlon.

At this time, Xiuqi patted Haredik on the shoulder with his huge bear-like palm and said to him, "Come, elf, let's sit down and talk." ”

Haredition was almost pinned to his chair by Xiuqi, rubbing his aching shoulders before he could speak, when he heard Xiuqi shout, "Hey, Yusna, bring me two glasses of wine!"

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's driving people away. The maid who had been pestered by Xiu Qi just now came over with her small waist twisted her waist and carried two beers, although she was complaining, but there was a joy in her big eyes that could not be concealed.

Yusna brought two glasses full of dark beer to the two of them, and quietly pinched Xiuqi's arm. And Joey unceremoniously slapped the maid's round ass with his bear paws. Yusna screamed, glared at Xiu Qi angrily, and ran into the kitchen with a plate in her arms.

Xiuqi, on the other hand, sniffed the palm of his hand proudly, and said with satisfaction: "Little Wave Hoof......" Haredik, who was sitting opposite Xiuqi, seemed to have no interest in what was happening in front of him, and drank the beer on the table with a blank face. At this time, Xiuqi turned around and looked at Hareddick again with interest, and said, "Your name is Nemo, right, where are you from?"

Hareddick shrugged his shoulders and put down his glass, "I'm a grey elf, where else can I come from?" "Oh! yes, grey mist. I forgot that it was the home of you elves. You know, I've been to you guys before. ”

"Really?" Haredith replied casually, "When did you go?"

Xiu Qi leaned back in the chair and put one hand on the back of the chair, put on a comfortable posture and said, "I don't remember exactly, whether it was three years ago or four years ago." I was working as a bodyguard in a small caravan in the Woods, and once we were shipping a shipment of tea to some western territory. As a result, we had just walked out of the Urd when we encountered a torrential rain, so we had to divert to a snowy trail, Damiko was on it, and the road was relatively smooth, but after arriving in Erindi's territory, our good luck seemed to run out, and we didn't know which guy released the news, and we were targeted by a group of orcs. Although I drove those orcs away several times along the way, I couldn't finish fighting this damn stinky nostril, and each time I could re-attack twice as many as the last attack. Later, we calculated that we were able to get rid of those orcs completely by burrowing into the Frost Lake woodland. Unfortunately, we got lost in the woodland, and wandered around for days so hungry that we almost got out of the woodland. Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger, and when I arrived in the west, nothing happened to the people and goods, and I also received a large amount of dividends, which made me beautiful for a long time. There I caught up with a female elf and was dragged into the gray mist and mud for a while, but I couldn't stand the wet climate and the fairy's temper, and after arguing with her a few times, I left the mud and went back to the Middle Avenue. ”

Harradik drank his beer, quietly listened to Xiuqi's story, and then said in a questioning tone, "No. ”

Xiuqi thought that the other party was admiring, so he said a little proudly: "Hey, you elves who can only dig people's pockets will not understand how we warriors who eat knives and eat food live by pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers." ”

Hareditik waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not talking about that, I'm saying how did you get from the snowy trail to Middle Avenue?",

"Huh?!" Xiuqi said suspiciously, glancing at Haredik.

At this time, Haredith continued: "The Snowy Trail is the only entrance out of the Woods to the northern heath, and if you don't go more than three miles, you will be blocked by the Breitshin Mountains from any way to the west. Also, if you're starting during the rainy season, it's the breeding season for frogs in the Frost Lake woodlands. At that time, even if the dragon wanted to cross the Frost Lake woodland, there was no guarantee that it would come out unscathed, how did you stay in it for so many days?"

Hearing Haredik's words, Xiuqi's eyes blinked quickly a few times and then smiled nonchalantly and said, "Oh, is that so? Probably I remembered it wrong, or mixed things up, after all, it was many years ago." ”

Haredith laughed a little at this point, and after draining the beer in his glass, he said, "I think it's the same." ”

Then Hugh and Hareddick talked a little bit about the Middle Avenue before finally reassuring him and turning the conversation to some interesting stories and spicy jokes about his adventures. Hareddik was used to dealing with these mercenaries or wandering knights, and Xiuqi felt that the elf in front of him was very different from the sharp-mouthed and slippery guys he had met before, and he had a feeling of hating to see each other late.

So the more the two chatted, the happier they became, but Yusina, who had worked hard to refill the empty wine glasses of the two with beer, had to keep going back and forth between the wine cabinet in the kitchen and the table between them. At this point, the two began to talk about their respective weapons, and Shuki was a staunch supporter of the two-handed greatsword compared to the dagger and scimitar that Hareddick had always preferred.

"Daggers, scimitars, poofs, can these weapons as brittle as bamboo poles block my blow?"

"Of course, as long as you use your skills well, you can unload most of your strength......"

"I don't need any bullshit skills, your cutlass hit my broadsword like they hit a steel plate. ”

"Hmph, who will fight you with a scimitar, before you can lift your bulky broadsword, I have already made a detour behind you and cut off your head. ”

"If you can, you can give it a try!"

"Come on, come, I'm afraid you won't dare!"

Under the influence of alcohol, the conversation between the two began to rub a lot of sparks and shouted at each other. Yusna, who was standing on the side, looked strange, shook her head and sighed: "Whether it's humans, orcs or elves, these men are all the same, and if they talk well, they will suddenly quarrel and fight." Alas...... I really can't stand them. ”

Just as the two of them were glaring at each other and about to make a move, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open roughly, and a shrill male voice came from outside: "How can such a thing appear in my room!"
