"'Вe3nenathcвetлoctглenahaohe' (Elven for the stars to give light to those who look up) was destroyed at the end of the battle by the human warlocks who invaded the city of Urd, and the destruction of the relics also announced that the elves had severed the last trace of contact with Gwendrin...... Since then, the elves have lost not only their dominance over the continent of Kemorrah, but also their proud golden skin and their talent for manipulating magical energy.

—From "The Descendants of Gwendrine," by Hetlocher K. Greger

Whenever daylight comes, the shimmering moss that grows densely on the top of the cave begins to emit bright biological light, dispelling the darkness in the underground world of Azonica, due to the unpopular status of humans in Azonica, so that the humans who have been mixed with other non-human races for a long time have been squeezed and ostracized, so I don't know when the humans living in Azonica began to move out of the orc settlement one after another, and came to this relatively remote cave that had not been fully developed at that time, and named this cave after Mafrett VII"Nedfardi's Cave. ”

While the humans of Azonica see the Cave of Nidfardi as a symbol of human triumph or independence, for the orcs, the lords of the city, they are merely leaving the unwanted nook and cranny to these eyesores. In this case, the guards used by the orcs to maintain law and order in Azonica naturally did not set foot here, which turned the Nedfa Cave into an illegal vacuum in the city of Azonica, where dragons and snakes were mixed with dragons and snakes.

The inhabitants of the cave of Nidfar, who were not safe, were forced to turn their attention to the mercenaries and adventurers, hoping that the mercenaries who collected their own gold would protect their lives and property. While it is true that there have been many cases of hired samurai murdering their employers and stealing their belongings, in general, these mercenaries have kept the cave safe to some extent, and have attracted many other adventurers who want to use their swords to find wealth or make a name for themselves.

The rail car that Haredith and Burke rode on finally came to the Niederfa Cave, and as soon as the two of them left the station, many people recognized Tepenny's most capable knight, but what puzzled them was that Burke, who had always been good-natured and always had a smile on his face, walked forward with a straight face for some reason, and even someone greeted him only slightly to deal with it, completely lacking his previous politeness and enthusiasm. In contrast, the gray elf who walked beside him was much more leisurely, and the elf kept up with the knight's hurried pace with a brisk step, and looked around from time to time as if it were the first time he had been here. The buildings in the Nedfar's Cave did not have the delicate corners and elaborate eaves of the little Lund of the First Elves, nor were they like the orc buildings that Azonica found in were covered with crude hides and hung with sharp barbs. However, the intricate design of these houses and the neat and orderly streets of these human spirituality give people here the feeling of being in the bustling street market of the Central Boulevard.

"If it's up to you humans to build a city, those dwarves know how to make a house out of wood and rock, but. Hareddick pointed to the long straight street in front of him and sighed heartily, "But how to arrange these houses in rows is up to you humans." ”

However, Burke, who was walking beside Haredith, walked briskly forward as if he had not heard what he was saying. Haredith shrugged his shoulders and said to the unhappy knight, "Hey, Burke, that's not very nice. ”...,

"Quinn, don't bother me, I don't want to talk to you right now. Burke, who was angry with Harleydick on the railcar, was clearly not out of breath.

Haredith sighed when he saw Burke's appearance and said helplessly, "I'm sorry Burke, I know I just said something stupid, please forgive me." ”

Hearing this, the displeasure on Burke's face seemed to subside somewhat, and he stood up, turned his head to Haredite, and said, "Are you really ready to apologize?"

"Nope. Unexpectedly, Hareddick immediately refused dryly, and he raised the corners of his mouth and said quickly: "I just want to play you again." I can't believe you really thought I was going to apologize, you stayed with that halfling bastard for so many years, how could you not learn not to be so easily fooled?"

Haredike let out a smug laugh, and Burke's face became even more gloomy, and he stared at the drow elf for several seconds before he squeezed two words out of his teeth: "Shut up, Quinn!" and continued to walk forward with his head muffled into Hareddic's evil laughter.

Without saying a word, the two walked down the long street in front of the station, and after a few streets with Burke and Hareddick, they bent into a two-story inn that was a little dilapidated but clean-washed. Just as the two were about to enter the hotel, a voice from behind them called out to them: "Bart?!"

The two of them turned to look behind them, and behind them a short, somewhat elderly man in an earthy gray peasant suit, with graying hair and beard, was walking towards them with a bucket of bush. This old man in his fifties dressed like an ordinary groom, but he had a capable and neat spirit that did not match his age. And his neatly combed hair, a beautiful beard, and a military heroism all reminded people of those old knights who had worked hard in the army for many years.

Sure enough, Burke immediately straightened up, respectfully saluted him with a standard knightly salute, and said, "Knight Captain Hanlon!"

The old knight named Hanlon returned a knightly salute to Burke, walked up to him, put the toilet bucket on the ground, and said with a smile: "Madame mentioned you this morning, and asked me to send someone to invite you over for a gathering, but I didn't expect you to come to me." ”

In front of this old knight named Hanlon, Burke was like a recruit facing the general, and he did not dare to relax or be rude in the slightest, and he continued to reply respectfully: "Since it is Madame's order, how dare I disobey it, please allow me to go back and consult with the boss and rush back immediately." ”

Han Long patted his arm and smiled kindly: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll ask Hemmel to help you go to Tepeni to say something, you can stay tonight and have two more drinks with me." ”

"Yes, Knight Captain Hanlon!"

At this time, Hanlon turned his gaze to Hareddick beside Burke, stretched out his right hand to him, and smiled: "You must be our new guide, right? I am Craig Hanlon, the captain of the knight guard in Miles' territory, welcome to join us." ”

Harleydick stretched out his hand and shook Hanlon's hand and said, "My name is too wordy, and you probably won't remember it, so just call me Nemo." After casually reporting a pseudonym to the other party, Haredith looked at Hanlon and asked with some curiosity, "Did you just go to feed the horses?"

"Yes, we brought these big babies all the way from the south, but they are used to the sunshine of the southern forests and are not used to living in the cold underground, so I have to spend more time taking care of them every day. ”

Harleydick noticed that although Hanlon had been smiling since they met, there was a lingering sense of loss and weariness in his eyes, and only the dim eyes flashed for the first time at the mention of horses.

At this time, Han Long lifted the toilet bucket and waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk about it, just introduce you to the others, those little guys are going crazy if they want to go home." With that, he pushed open the door of the hotel and led the two inside.
