Chapter 25: On the way

A team is advancing on the winding road between the canyons. This road should be artificially repaired and basically flat, but few people have walked through it for many years, and there have been many fallen leaves, shrubs and yellow leaves on the road. The weeds, plus some snow on the ground, melted for almost half on this warm day, leaving the dirt roads a bit muddy, slowing down the team's speed.
Adan hit the horse at the forefront, and there were two middle-aged guards with a look on his side, followed by Ji Yijun. Aura was talking to him next to him. In the middle of the team is Luo Ling, and Elena who has been with her for a moment these days. Morey and Farrell are walking behind them, with their heads down as if they are still thinking about something. The team is finally Calanda and Chen Hansheng, they There were also several pack horses around him, carrying the weight of the adventure.
This eleven-person team is destined for a ruin in the royal family of the Black Dragon Empire.

"Okay, don't be bored, isn't it fun for everyone to come out for an adventure together?" Aura thought of Fa'er teasing Ji Yijun, but the latter came all the way, and his face would always stink.
"I tell you, I can't spare Chu Ying's dog stuff. When I go back, you can see how I taught him." Ji Yijun said bitterly, "There are also a group of old guys who guard each other!"
"Why are you angry with them? The identity of nobles and officials is special. After all, what you do is sweeping the face of a group of people. If you get rid of the officer, just let it go, you can come to the outside world, otherwise you will be there every day. The old man who is spitting everywhere. "
This said that Ji Yijun had gone. He was so suffocated by the blind life in the camp that he often yearned for such a thrilling life, but he thought that the group of guys in the committee were criticizing himself in a bureaucratic manner. Ordinarily, with the power I have in my hands, is it not difficult to beat them one by one? I only need a stick to kill the administrative building ...
Ji Yijun thought about it, with a smile on his face, and whispered in his mouth: "Hey, do you agree?"
"what are you talking about?"
"Ah?" Ji Yijun was suddenly startled, and then he came awake, recalling the thoughts in his heart just now, and could not help seeing a cold sweat behind his back. This may be the so-called state of mind can not keep up with strength? No wonder his father always said that the more martial arts, the stronger, the more he must learn to live his life. Otherwise, once you get caught in the magic one day, the one behind you will not let yourself go.
He turned back quietly and found that Luo Ling was talking to Elena.

"Did you worry about these two days? It seems that you often get distracted, and your words are much less." Luo Ling opened the hat of the down jacket and glanced at Elena.
"It was discovered by you." Elena also wore a down jacket with pointed ears and raised the hat with two pointed corners, which seemed a bit funny. She looked around and whispered to Luo Ling, "I thought I told you. But I kept holding back. "
"I know you can't help it anymore." Luo Ling smiled as she pulled the horse close to Elena, "Speak."
Elena lifted the reins and slowed the horse down a bit, pulling away some distance from the others.
"This Adan and Aura are descendants of the Black Dragon Empire. But do you know? The Black Dragon Empire and the Elven Kingdom are feuds." Elena said, tilting her head.
"I know that Emperor Luca of the Black Dragon Empire attacked the elven kingdom hundreds of years ago. He invited a master Glion to corrode the elven tree wall. But how long ago was that? Is there any reason to care now? Besides, that war did n’t destroy the Elven Kingdom, but when the Black Dragon Empire was overthrown, the Elves also mixed a foot, taking up a lot of territory?
Luo ​​Ling has read almost all the local books that can be found. The incident is well known.
"Your human life is short, and you forget about history quickly. But our elves are different. I have a lot of elders who lived and participated in the war that year. They all died in the hands of the Black Dragon Empire. The evil feelings of the Black Dragon Empire have been put into my head since I was a child. "Elena said surprisingly seriously." And you know, the Black Dragon Empire has done many things without a bottom line, such as forcibly transforming the blood of people, extracting souls to make magic Like. I know the word evil is not suitable to describe the country, but the Black Dragon Empire is really an evil country. "
Luo Ling suddenly realized that the different life spans made the two races see things differently. For humans, what happened in ancient times, for elves, happened yesterday.
"You have such a big opinion, why don't you say it early?"
auzw.com "Aren't you afraid to affect your plan! I know the weight." Elena's face was a bit worried, "But the closer I was to the destination, the more worried I was. I couldn't help saying it in the end. "
"That empire no longer exists." Luo Ling said.
"But what if you helped them and restore the empire?" Elena asked back.
"Relax." Luo Ling reached out and patted Elena's shoulder. "A country is not built on secrets or treasures. Now in the kingdom, besides these poor people, who misses the Black Dragon Empire?" ? Without people, there is no foundation for existence, and this country will not have the opportunity to be restored. "
"Okay. I believe you." Elena put her hand on her shoulder and took Luo Ling's hand.

The team approached a narrow valley mouth, and there was a shout in front: "Human team, stop! This is the territory of the valley dwarf."
Luo Ling drove forward and saw a dozen dwarfs on the road ahead, stopped at the intersection. They were wearing simple leather armor, holding spears and hunting bows, and several hunters still held something suspected of being a firearm gun . Most of them carry prey such as rabbit pheasant, obviously dressed as a group of hunters. Look at this, it should be back from hunting, just hit Luo Ling and his party.
"Matthew, how could this be the dwarf's territory?" Adan looked at the middle-aged knight on the edge with some doubt. The Matthew Knight took out an old map and said, "From the map, it is very close to the ruins, and there are no villages marked on it. It must be a dwarf tribe that moved over later."
"Dwarf, we just have to pass by here and go to the basin by the Houshan River, it won't affect you." Another knight Nate said.
"That's where our village is. We don't welcome outsiders." The dwarf headed replied. He waved his hand. The dwarves behind him put down their prey and took hold of their weapons.
Seeing the stalemate ahead, Luo Ling asked Farrell, who said, "Mr. Farrell, have you heard of a dwarf tribe here?"
"No, the dwarf kingdom is far away from here. I never heard that there are branches of dwarves here. I can talk to them." Farrell jumped off the horse and walked to the front of the team. Luo Ling also dismounted and followed.
The other party was very surprised to find a dwarf in the team. Luo Ling thought that they were also dwarves, and the two sides would have the same language. However, the other party suddenly became more angry and shouted: "Humans, how can there be a dwarf with you?" Together! Is this dwarf a slave trader from the dwarf kingdom! Is he going to catch our valley dwarf as a slave? "
Farrell looked at each other suspiciously: "I don't know what hatred you have with the dwarf kingdom, but I left that place a long time ago, and I am an exiled dwarf."
The leading dwarf glanced at Farrell with wide eyes, and then said to the people behind: "His beard has three strands of braids, and he should be a craftsman."
"Or just a little officer, those bad guys, at least with five wigs," said one dwarf.
"Okay. It seems that he is not a tall bastard." Said the other dwarf.
"Let him speak for himself." The dwarf headed turned to Farrell again. "What did you do when you were in the dwarf kingdom? Why were you banished from those idiots? Is there anything to do with the family responsible for trading with humans? You have to forge The name of the swears that he is telling the truth! "
"In the name of the of forging and the hammer, I am telling the truth!" Farrell said unequivocally. "My previous family was the Lava family, a small family of craftsmen. But I am a family The most talented craftsman. Not only my family, but few people in the whole city can match me! "
"Sure enough, said he was a craftsman." Said a dwarf.
"Shut up!" Said the dwarf leader. "Let our brother finish his story. I have smelled the smell of the from the story."
"Yes, my brothers, those guys are bastards. I invented a new forging steel process, which can greatly speed up the forging speed. Is this a good thing? I was going to win the championship in the forging celebration to prove myself I did n’t expect to be framed and cheated by people from those big families. Cheating at the forging celebration was a big crime, so I was exiled ... "Farrell told his story to the dwarves, and those hot-tempered dwarves were all killed by him 'S story attracts and listens quietly.
