Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 460 Dika Mine, Grumpy Dwarves

Dwarves are a very awkward race, and this needs to be emphasized repeatedly.

They are arrogant, but they do have the capital to be arrogant.They claim to be the descendants of Hexter, the god of the earth, based in the mountains and rivers, and they are the most skilled blacksmiths in the mainland.But its own personality often has various flaws, like a spoiled noble lady.

Perhaps the word "tsundere" unexpectedly fits them well——

"You mean you've ridden a unicorn? Huxter, you're a man—oh, your looks don't matter, but... ahhh I can't take that!"

Kelan scratched his face frantically. Since arriving in Amasir, his face, which had been roughened by the cold wind from the north, had been maintained a little more delicately.

"Klan, this is nothing unusual for the lord. He has also been unanimously approved by the elders of the Deep Forest Council, and even obtained a certificate from the northern dwarves." Elena's tone was full of pride, and her long golden hair Swaying behind.

This time they headed northwest from Somi City, Cyril didn't bring anyone else, only the dwarf Klan and her as the guard, which made Elena extremely happy.

Although she only had time to study with Ms. Shell for a few days, she felt that she had learned a lot, and what was left was to improve in actual combat.What Ms. Shell emphasized is to spend more time with the lord and learn from the lord as soon as possible. It is best to be able to teach one-on-one.

If the annoying Klan wasn't there—although the dwarf himself was a troublesome existence in the Lord's Mansion, he was even more annoying in Elena's eyes at this time.

Especially since he still doesn't trust the lord to do these things.

"Anyway, there is a chance that you can touch the unicorn's ass. As for now, it is your task to communicate with the dwarves well. Let me see..." Cyril held the map in his hand: "The Dika mine used to belong to Tranquility A part of the Chong Ridge, divided by the Rear Central Break and the Tranquil Chong Ridge, is located in the northwest of Suomi City..."

The Dika Mine also has regional missions in the game. Cyril still remembers that when the player arrived in Somi City, there was even a special road leading to the Dika Mine. It must have been built by Baron Gene O'Connor.

In the game, this is not a distribution area of ​​high-level monsters, but it is also a dangerous area, because there is a special monster "Stone Crystal Beast" in the local area, which exists as an ore companion beast.Once players want to mine minerals, they will be beaten by groups of stone crystal beasts.

They have entered the range of Dika Mine at this time.Even though they have passed through the dwarves of Tranquil Ridge, they still have to rely on themselves to find the dwarves of Dika Mine.

"We dwarves in the Maitland Mountains dug the best caves for living, and built our villages in the mountains, which can withstand the severe cold in the north. I bet the dwarves here don't dig as well as we do, Our cave can be said to be a work of art—" Crane boasted, and then walked in front of Cyril, "I will lead the way next."

"Lead the way? But you don't need it." Cyril blinked.

"Hmph, half-elf boy, although you are a bit capable, finding the entrance to the dwarf's cave is not an easy task. This kind of thing needs to be done by an expert like me." Crane hammered his chest hard, "In just 5 minutes, I can find their way up the mountain, and then find their residence..."

But while he was speaking, Cyril had already led Elena to the left for tens of meters, and then Alina waved to him: "This is right here, come quickly!"

After Crane walked over, he was completely dumbfounded——

What appeared before them was an extremely wide rift valley.The incisions at both ends of him were so smooth that Crane, standing there before, couldn't see that the mountain was missing a piece from here.

Between the rifts is a circular station, extremely spacious.At the mouth of the valley stood a sentry tower made of black iron, and tall gates blocked their sight, but through the gaps, they could see countless hemispherical buildings protruding like yurts, with white smoke curling from the chimneys.

"Well, why is this different from our living environment?" Kelan opened his mouth, still wondering why some dwarves didn't dig mountains to live, and there was a low voice of shouting from the sentry tower:

"Who are you? Elves? We don't need to trade with elves, get out of here!"

The one who spoke was a dwarf wearing a refined iron helmet, plate armor, and carrying a sharp axe.He stood on the sentry tower and shouted downwards, his thick eyebrows twitched, looking angry.

"Klan, it's time for you." Cyril Lachlan pulled the dwarf who was still in a daze to him, and the latter hurriedly took out the hammer from the dwarf elder from his arms: "Hey, Di Brother Kakuangshan, we are here to talk about cooperation, how about—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the heads of several dwarves drilled out of the sentry tower one after another, and then a dwarf shouted:

"The dwarf has the hammer of Tranquility Mountain in his hand. He came from Tranquility Mountain!"

Kelan turned his head and glanced at Cyril proudly, meaning that he would succeed immediately by showing his face, but he found that the boy's face was full of weirdness, and he even put one hand on the hilt of his waist, and then whispered: : "Klan, get ready to run."

"Run? What are you running for?" Kelan was still wondering, but the sound of cursing came from behind him: "The group of fucking bastards from Tranquil Ridge dare to show their faces in front of us? Cut them off!"

There was a sudden sound of wind in the back of his head, and Kelan lowered his head subconsciously, but he only felt a chill on his scalp—a throwing ax whirled past his head, and nailed it into the ground he was facing.

"Klan, run!"

Before Kelan could turn around, the boy suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him aside. At the same time, the blue light on the long sword was shining, and the weathered knight was already standing in front of him.And the gate opened with a bang, and the dwarves in full armor rushed out of the gate with a hatchet and spear in their hands, and surrounded the three of Cyril in it.

Escaping was already impossible, and both Alina and Kelan drew their weapons.Kelan gritted his teeth tightly, and said a few words from his lips: "Stinky boy, what the hell is going on?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Cyril was also thinking in his heart, and asked in a low voice, while raising the sword in his hand, he shouted: "The dwarves of the Dika Mine, I have no intention of being your enemy !"

"No intention of being an enemy? You jumped in front of us with the hammer of Tranquility and Heavy Mountain, and said that you don't want to be an enemy? Your tree of life will be struck by lightning today!"

A dwarf at the head cursed angrily, the eyes exposed under the visor were swollen with anger, and the orange-brown beard was blown by the breath, and the handle of the battle ax in his hand was held up and down in his hand, and then pointed at Cyril: "The crossbowman is in place, shoot me the assholes of these bastards!"

As he said, the dwarves at the gate spread out to both sides.Cyril's expression changed—they were replaced by a row of dwarves holding short crossbows. They were already half-kneeling on the ground, ready to go. The moment the dwarf's voice fell, the short crossbow's machine PA sounded!

"Mlak! Follow my orders!"

Under such circumstances, Cyril did not expect to be able to talk peacefully with the dwarves of Dika Mine. While he shouted sharply, his figure suddenly twisted, and suddenly disappeared in front of all the dwarves.

The sudden disappearance of such a large living person stunned the dwarf crossbowmen, but they immediately planned to continue to carry out the command of the leading dwarf.But at the moment when the loaded crossbow was about to be fired, a huge sword hit them in front of them with a "boom"——

The figure of the spirit knight with the pointed helmet stepped out of the void, and the one who attacked with him was the wind knight who had been standing still before. The tall figures of the two were as swift as ghosts, and rushed straight into the camp of the short crossbow dwarves. With just one sweep, several dwarves were knocked into the air.

"Find that elf, take them down, take them down!" The dwarf in charge shouted loudly, regardless of how his crossbowmen were messed up, and the dwarves who had already surrounded him immediately turned towards Elena and Crane went straight for it.The long sword in the girl's hand bloomed coldly, ice crystals had already spread from her feet, and the short ax in Kelan's hand was also strenuously propped up in front of her, ready to strike desperately.

But the dwarves had just raised their weapons. Seeing that the two sides were about to collide head-on, the voice of the leading dwarf yelled again, this time full of panic:

"Stop, stop, stop, don't move them, put down the weapons, put down the weapons!"

The irascible attacker was at the moment with his feet dangling in the air, his neck was strangled by a powerful arm that had nothing to do with being thick, and the blade of the forest was pressed against his face.

Cyril appeared behind him at some point, hijacked him in front of so many dwarves——

"It seems that your people are not very willing to cooperate."

He let out a sigh, and made a gesture to slash the dwarf's face with his sword. The dwarf shouted in horror: "What are you waiting for, throw down the weapon, hurry up! Raise your hands!"

This time, no dwarves hesitated any longer. There was a jingle and clang, and dozens of dwarves dropped their weapons and raised their hands.

"That's right. As for us, we are here to discuss cooperation with you. How can we fight each other without saying a word? How can we cooperate and win-win? Isn't it right?"

Cyril squatted down and put the dwarf on the ground, but the long sword was still sticking to his face, and he spoke slowly.The dwarf's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit, and he was holding his breath—the stench from the long sword was enough to show its danger, and he was afraid that if he touched it, he would bleed black blood all over his body and die.And this thing is still in front of his face.

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't be so irritable, let's talk about cooperation, talk about cooperation...wait, talk about cooperation?"

He suddenly came to his senses, and his voice rang out: "Cooperate? Those bastards from Tranquil Mountain are going to cooperate with us? Haha, hahahahaha!"

His sudden laughter stunned Cyril, who was the hostage, but the dwarf quickly stopped his wild laughter and forced himself to calm down: "Elf, if you want to replace those bastards to discuss cooperation, of course you can." Talk, but can you put down the sword first?"

"First of all, I am not an elf, I am a half-elf. Secondly, I am the lord of a human kingdom, and have nothing to do with the bastards you mentioned." Cyril said, and finally let go of the long sword attached to the dwarf, " In the end, I think you should explain to us why the token of the dwarves of Tranquility Mountain makes you feel like an enemy."

The dwarf let out a long breath as he watched the deadly weapon finally leave his face.He patted his chest twice, and thought that this dangerous elf guy was still behind him, so he quickly turned around and said:
"Of course, of course I will explain, but before that..." He looked at the gate with some embarrassment—the original gate had been broken, and both the wind knight and the spirit knight put away their weapons, and used the original hand The dwarves with short crossbows kicked like a football.

"Mlak, you can rest now." Cyril said, the Spirit Knight looked this way with some regret, and his figure gradually dissipated.The wind knight was originally formed by his magic power, which naturally turned into a breeze and dissipated in the air.

He glanced at the Book of Heroes with some distress—he was simply too nervous, so he hurriedly called out Knight Mrak.With his current professional level, it is enough to deal with these dwarves by himself, which is a waste of CD.

However, the stressful attitude of the Dika mine dwarves is very interesting.It's normal for dwarves not to have a good impression of elves, but for the quiet mountain dwarves of the same race, their family can have so much hostility-maybe it has something to do with the reason why these dwarves became independent?
You must know that natural creatures like dwarves rarely have infighting.In terms of unity and friendship, I'm afraid they can rank among the top races on the continent.

Even if there is friction between each other, it can often be smoothed over with a drink.

At first, Cyril thought that the independence of the Dika Mine dwarves was purely due to geographical reasons. Some of the dwarves found that the Dika Mine was rich in resources, so they established a new base here.

But now it looks like that's not the case.

"So, the dwarves of Tranquil Ridge are using me as a weapon, and want me to solve their civil strife?" This thought made Cyril's face darken, and he thought of the dwarf elder who happily sent the token It looks like, thinking about it at this time, it is completely uneasy.

Maybe it's because he showed too much limelight at the Wind Festival, or because... the dwarves of Tranquil Mountain and Palannia passed through Qi, and they were on the opposite side of La Rochelle, and they wanted to use this to eradicate themselves?

Cyril imagined the conspiracy theory in his mind for a while, and then beckoned Kelan and Alina to come behind him.

"Elena, remember, this is called 'capture the thief first and capture the king first.'" Cyril put the long sword back into its sheath, smiled and explained the essentials of the battle to Elena in a low voice.

Seeing that Cyril was really not hostile, the dwarf finally felt relieved.While ordering his subordinates to pick up weapons and help the wounded, he led Cyril and the others into the rift valley.
